Project description:Bovine paratuberculosis is a serious chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). The aim of this study was to detect proteomic changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from cows of the same herd with different MAP infection status after co-incubation with viable MAP in vitro using label-free LC-MS/MS. Our data contribute to a better understanding of the bovine immune response and mechanisms of susceptibility to MAP.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis inside bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs; in vitro infection) during phagosome acidification at 30 min post-infection. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis profiles from bafilomcyin A1 (acidification inhibitor) treated and untreated monocyte-derived macrophages were compared.

M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis profiles from bafilomcyin A1 (acidification inhibitor) treated and untreated monocyte-derived macrophages were compared. Two-condition experiment; 3 control (bafilomcyin treated) and 3 test, independently conducted. 1 control, 1 test per microarray.
Project description:We focused on how Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis influences the subsequent host response to investigate the host immunopathology accompanying the host anti-mycobacterial immune response during Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in spleen of mice.

We analyzed altered transcription in the spleen of mice at 3, 6, and 12 weeks following Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection.
Project description:The alteration in genomic expression profiles of mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in bovine macrophages in response to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection was investigated by applying an RNA-Seq based approach. A computational pipeline was implemented which identified more than 300 unannotated lncRNAs in macrophages of which 38 were differentially regulated by the infection.
Project description:Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) and Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) are important pathogens of cattle, causing bovine tuberculosis and Johne’s disease respectively. M. bovis and MAP infect residential macrophages in the lung and intestines respectively and subvert the macrophage biology to create a survival niche. To investigate this interaction we simultaneously studied the transcriptional response of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages to infection with two strains of M. bovis (AF2122/97 and G18) and two strains of MAP (C & L1).

Project description:Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the cause of a chronic enteritis of ruminants (bovine paratuberculosis-Johne disease) that is associated with enormous worldwide economic losses for the zootechnical industries. Diagnosis is based on observation of clinical signs, on the detection of antibodies in milk or serum or on evaluation of bacterial culture from feces. The limit of these methods is that they are not able to detect the disease in the subclinical stage and are applicable only when the disease is already in an advanced status. For this reason the main purpose of this study is to use the MAP proteome to detect novel immunoreactive proteins that may be helpful for paratuberculosis diagnoses. 2D electrophoresis and 2D immunoblotting of MAP proteins were performed using sera of control cattle and paratuberculosis infected cattle in order to highlight the specific immunoreactive proteins. Among the assigned identifiers to immunoreactive spots it was found that most of them correspond to surface-located proteins while three of them have never been described before as antigens. The identification of these proteins improves scientific knowledge that could be useful for paratuberculosis diagnoses. The sequence of the identified protein can be used for the synthesis of immunoreactive peptides that could be screened for their immunoreaction against bovine sera infected with MAP.
