Project description:Ovine mastitis is defined as the inflammation of the sheep udder, most commonly caused in response to intramammary infections. Based on the occurrence of clinical signs, mastitis is characterized as either clinical or subclinical (SCM). The impact of ovine SCM on the overall sustainability of dairy sheep farms has been documented underpinning the significance of efficient diagnosis. Although SCM can be detected in cows, the performance and the validity of the methods used do not transfer in dairy sheep. This fact challenges the development of evidence-based ovine udder health management protocols and renders the detection and control of ovine mastitis rather problematic. Currently, cell culture-based models are being successfully used in biomedical studies and have also been effectively used in the case of bovine mastitis. The objective of the present study was to culture ovine primary mammary cells for the development of 2D and 3D cell culture-based models for the study of ovine SCM. Cells were infected by mastitis-inducing pathogens mimicking the pathogenesis of SCM as derived by natural intramammary infections. The secreted proteins were subjected to mass-spectrometry resulting in the identification of 79 distinct proteins. Among those, several had already been identified in healthy or mastitic milk, while others were detected for the first time in the ovine mammary secretome. The development of cell-based models for the early detection and the overall study of SCM has the potential to be applicable and beneficial for the udder health management in dairy sheep.

Project description:Background: S. aureus is one of the main pathogen involved in ruminant mastitis worldwide. The severity of staphylococcal infection is highly variable and ranges from subclinical to gangrenous mastitis. Such variability implies host as well as staphylococcal factors. This work is an in-depth characterization of S. aureus mastitis isolates to identify factors involved in mastitis severity. Methods and findings: We combined three “omic” approaches to comprehensively compare two clonally related S. aureus strains that were isolated from and shown to reproducibly induce severe (strain O11) and milder (strain O46) mastitis in ewes. The genomes of O11 and O46 were sequenced (Illumina technology) to determine their respective gene content and comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were carried out on both strains grown in conditions mimicking mastitis context. High differences were highlighted in mobile genetic elements, iron acquisition and metabolism, transcriptional regulation and exoprotein production. In particular, O11 overproduced exoproteins, including toxins and proteases when compared to O46. This was confirmed in 4 other S. aureus strains isolated from subclinical or clinical mastitis cases. Dose-dependant production of some staphylococcal factors seem to play a role in hypervirulence of strains isolated from severe mastitis. Mobile genetic elements, transcriptional regulators, exoproteins or strain ability to deal with iron starvation constitute good targets for further research to better define the underlying mechanisms of mastitis severity. Conclusions: Differences observed in mastitis severity likely result from the ability of the strains to adapt and to express virulence factors in the mastitis context rather than from deep variations in gene content.

Project description:In sheep, the innate immune response of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) plays a central role in combating mastitis, yet our understanding of their resistance mechanisms remains limited. This study aimed to elucidate the gene expression profiles of ovine MECs following in vitro stimulation with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) using RNA-Seq technology. Bioinformatics analysis identified a total of 175 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 172 up-regulated and 3 down-regulated genes in the stimulated group compared to the non-stimulated control group. Gene ontology annotation and functional pathway analysis indicated that these DEGs are primarily involved in ribosomal functions, which are essential for protein synthesis and first target of pathogens, as well as in immune response dysregulations, infection, phagocytosis, and bacterial invasion of epithelial cells. Validation via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed the RNA-Seq results. These findings significantly contribute to the understanding of how ovine MECs respond to S. aureus stimulation, providing a foundation for further research, particularly regarding the immune defense mechanisms, strategies and implications in dairy industry.

Project description:Bovine mastitis causes changes in the serum exosomal miRNAs expression. Serum samples from healthy dairy cows (n = 7) were compared to those of cows with subclinical (n = 7 ) using small RAN sequencing. Three hundred fifty-five miRNAs (341 known and 14 novel ones) were identified. There were 42 miRNAs up-regulated in serum-derived EVs from cows with subclinical mastitis, including bta-miR-1246, bta-miR-2431-3p, bta-miR-126-3p, bta-miR-29a, etc. The MAPK signaling pathway was the most affected pathway by clinical mastitis. Thus, miRNA alterations in mastitis serum-derived EVs support the potential regulator role of specific miRNAs as exosomal cargo in clinical mastitis physiology.
