Project description:Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH), mucometra, and pyometra are common uterine diseases in intact dogs, with pyometra being a life threatening disease. This study aimed to determine the gene expression profile of these conditions, in addition to potential biomarkers for closed-cervix pyometra, the most severe condition Total RNA was extracted from 69 fresh endometrium samples collected from 21 healthy female dogs during diestrus, 16 CEH, 15 mucometra and 17 pyometra (eight open and nine closed-cervix). Global gene expression was detected using the Affymetrix Canine Gene 1.0 ST Array
Project description:Pyometra, which is accompanied by bacterial contamination of the uterus, is defined as a complex disease associated with the activation of several systems, including the immune system. The objective of the study was to evaluate the gene expression profile in dogs with pyometra compared with those that were clinically normal.
Project description:The study was undertaken to analyze the effect of canine uterine bacterial infection (Pyometra) on local gene expression patterns in the uteri. The results show profound upregulation of various expected genes related to both the innate and innate immune system. In addition, there was a marked upregulation of many genes associated with proteolysis. Moreover, the bacterial disease resulted in downregulation of a large number of homeobox and zinc finger transcription factors. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Gene expression patterns in the uterus from dogs with pyometra disease compared to healthy dogs. 4 replicates each.
Project description:The aims were to explore whether saliva composition could reflect the physiopathological changes occurring in canine pyometra and to identify potential biomarkers of the disease using a high-throughput quantitative proteomic analysis. Saliva samples from six healthy (H) and six bitches with pyometra (P) were analysed using Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) - based approach.

Project description:WGS of E. coli isolated from pets diagnosed with pyometra
Project description:Canine pyometra is a common inflammatory disease of the uterus in sexually mature bitches, caused by a secondary bacterial infection which leads to change in the plasma protein associated with the innate immune system. Proteomic offers a means to determine the profile of plasma in dogs with pyometra to provide important findings into general mechanisms operating during diverse inflammatory reactions. The plasma protein profile of healthy and pyometra affected bitches was determined by means of an isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) label-based high-resolution quantitative proteomic approach. Six clinically healthy dogs (used as control group) and 6 dogs with pyometra were enrolled in the study. All dogs were admitted to the Small Animal Clinic, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover and treated in accordance with the German Animal Welfare Law. The experimental design was approved by the Animal Welfare officer of the University of Veterinary Medicine and by the Ethic Committee of the responsible authority (Lower Saxony State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety, reference number 17A 101). Healthy dogs for blood collection were recruited by launching a call in the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover network for students and staff members for haemostasis study, providing a free clinical and laboratory health check of their animal in combination with the blood collection. Residual sample material was used in the present study.
