Post-weaning diarrhoea and oedema disease in weaned piglets are caused by infection with F4+ or F18+ Escherichia coli strains. There is no commercial vaccine available, but it is shown that oral immunization of weaned piglets with purified F4 fimbriae induces a protective mucosal immune response. In the present study, piglets were orally and nasally immunized with purified F18 fimbriae in the presence of the mucosal adjuvant LT(R192G) or CTA1-DD, respectively. This immunization could not lead to protection against F18+ E. coli infection. The induced F18-specific immune response was directed towards the major subunit FedA and weakly towards the adhesive subunit FedF. The results of these experiments demonstrate that it is difficult to induce protective immunity against F18+ E. coli using the whole fimbriae due to the low response against the adhesin.  相似文献

Enterotoxigenic and verotoxigenic F18+ Escherichia coli colonising the pig small intestine, adhere to receptors on intestinal villous enterocytes by F18 fimbriae. The aim of the present study was to define the F18R nature. The knowledge on the nature of this receptor could be important for the development of receptor-based treatments against F18+ E. coli-induced disease. The adhesion of F18+ E. coli to pig intestinal villous enterocytes was analysed in an in vitro assay. The adhesion of F18+ E. coli but not of F4ac+ E. coli was strongly inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) with blood group H-2 specificity. Conversely, blood group H-1 specific mAb could not inhibit the adhesion of F18+ E. coli nor F4ac+ E. coli. Moreover, the blood group H-2 trisaccharide strongly inhibited the adhesion of F18+ E. coli, but only partially the adhesion of F4ac+ E. coli. These data demonstrate that the F18 receptor contains the blood group antigen H-2 (-fuc-(1-2)-β-Gal-(1-4)-GlcNAc) as major carbohydrate.  相似文献

F18+ Escherichia coli can cause post-weaning diarrhoea and oedema disease in pigs. These diseases are responsible for substantial economic losses, but a vaccine is not available. A good knowledge of the characteristic of the fimbriae is useful for the development of a vaccine composed of the fimbrial virulence factor. F18 fimbriae are composed of the major subunit FedA and the minor subunits FedE and the adhesin FedF. In the present study monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against FedA and FedF were produced. In addition to their diagnostic value, these mAbs revealed a weaker interaction between FedA and FedF compared to the subunit-subunit interactions in other fimbriae, like type 1 and P pili. Further experiments are needed to investigate if this weak interaction could be one of the reasons for the slow colonisation of the small intestinal mucosa by F18+ E. coli.  相似文献

The adhesin F18ac purified on Sepharose CL 4B column chromatography and SDS-PAGE stained with Coomassie Blue and Western blotting using specific anti-F18ac serum presented one band of approximately 17kDa. Gold immunolabeling revealed that the adhesin F18ac has a fimbrial structure on the bacterial surface. The first 27 amino acid residues of the N-terminal portion of the adhesin F18ac, showed 92.5% homology (25 amino acids) with the F107 (F18ab) fimbriae.  相似文献

本研究旨在探讨猪m6A甲基化酶WTAP表达水平与大肠杆菌(E. coli)感染抗性的关系。选取35日龄苏太断奶仔猪(Sus scrofa)大肠杆菌抗性型和敏感型个体各4头,采集十二指肠和空肠组织,利用RT-qPCR检测WTAPE. coli抗性型和敏感型个体十二指肠、空肠的表达差异,并分别利用产肠毒素大肠杆菌(F18ab、F18ac)刺激和内毒素(LPS)诱导猪小肠上皮细胞(IPEC-J2),检测WTAP基因的表达变化。同时构建WTAP基因干扰载体并转染IPEC-J2细胞,通过菌毛定量、菌落计数以及间接免疫荧光试验检测该基因沉默对大肠杆菌黏附能力的影响。结果显示:在十二指肠和空肠组织中,WTAP基因在E. coli抗性型个体中的表达量显著高于敏感型个体(P<0.01);并且在F18ab和F18ac刺激后表达量显著下降,与LPS诱导6 h后结果相一致(P<0.01)。沉默WTAP基因后,大肠杆菌黏附能力极显著上升(P<0.01)。本研究在细胞和个体水平上验证发现,m6A甲基转移酶WTAP的高表达可能有助于仔猪抗大肠杆菌感染,为进一步揭示仔猪抗大肠杆菌感染的RNA甲基化调控机制奠定基础。  相似文献

为了探讨猪6-甲基腺嘌呤(m6A)去甲基化酶mRNA表达水平与仔猪大肠杆菌F18抗性的关系,本研究运用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测m6A去甲基化酶FTOALKBH5基因在35日龄苏太猪断奶仔猪大肠杆菌F18抗性型和敏感型个体十二指肠和空肠组织中的mRNA表达差异,同时分别利用F18ab、F18ac大肠杆菌菌体刺激和内毒素LPS诱导猪小肠上皮细胞(IPEC-J2),检测FTO、ALKBH5基因表达变化。结果表明,FTO、ALKBH5基因在抗性型个体十二指肠和空肠中的表达量均极显著或显著高于敏感型个体(P<0.01,P<0.05);不同F18大肠杆菌菌体刺激IPEC-J2细胞后,FTO基因表达水平均无显著变化(P>0.05),而ALKBH5基因在F18ac刺激后表达量显著上调(P<0.05);LPS诱导4 h时,FTOALKBH5基因表达量均显著上调(P<0.05)。本研究在细胞和个体水平上初步验证并发现了m6A去甲基化酶FTO和ALKBH5基因表达水平与大肠杆菌感染仔猪密切相关,为今后深入研究RNA去甲基化修饰在仔猪细菌性腹泻调控中的作用机制提供了理论基础。  相似文献

To investigate the relationship between the mRNA expression level of m6A demethylase and E.coli F18 resistance in piglets,Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression differences of m6A demethylase FTO and ALKBH5 genes in the duodenum and jejunum tissues of E.coli F18-resistant and -sensitive individuals from 35-day Sutai weaned piglets.In E.coli F18ab,F18ac bacteria-stimulated and endotoxin LPS-induced porcine small intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2),the expression levels of FTO and ALKBH5 genes were detected,respectively.The results showed that the expression levels of FTO and ALKBH5 genes in the duodenum and jejunum of resistant individuals were extremely significantly or significantly higher than those of sensitive individuals (P<0.01,P<0.05),and the expression of FTO gene were not significantly changed in E.coli F18 bacteria-stimulated IPEC-J2 cells (P>0.05),but the expression levels of ALKBH5 gene were significantly up-regulated after F18ac stimulation (P<0.05).After LPS induction for 4 hours,the expression levels of FTO and ALKBH5 genes showed significant up-regulation in IPEC-J2 cells (P<0.05).This study preliminarily verified and indicated that the expression levels of m6A demethylases FTO and ALKBH5 genes were closely related to E.coli resistance of piglets at the cellular and individual levels,which will provide a theoretical basis for future in-depth study of the regulation mechanism of RNA demethylation modification on bacterial diarrhea in piglets.  相似文献

The study comprises fifty 4 to 12 weeks old pigs that died from oedema disease or severe diarrhoea. Smears were prepared from the mucosa of duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and by immunofluorescence F107 fimbrial antigens were detected. E. coli. strains were isolated from the intestines and were characterised by slide agglutination (serogroup and F107 fimbriae production), by their cytotoxicity for Vero cells, and by gene amplification (genes coding for the major F107 subunit FedA, the toxin causing oedema disease SLT-IIv, and enterotoxins LTI, STIa and STII). F107 fimbriae were demonstrated in association with E. coli of serogroups O139:K12 and O141:K85a,b but not of serogroup O149:K91:F4a,c. Expression in culture of F107 fimbriae by some isolates gave additional evidence for production of these fimbriae by ETEC strains. The genetic determinant of SLT-IIv was found in association with F107, and could not be detected in serogroup O149:K91:F4a,c. Gene fedA was demonstrated in two isolates which were devoid of SLT-IIv. Most isolates from cases of oedema disease belonged to serogroup O139:K12 and did not contain enterotoxin genes. Isolates from pigs that suffered from diarrhoea were serotyped O141:K85a,b or O149:K91:F4a,c, and carried at least two enterotoxin genes in their genomes. In a small proportion of the cases F107 antigens were demonstrated in intestinal smears although gene fedA was not detected in the corresponding isolates. The results confirm the importance of F107 fimbriae as virulence factor in oedema disease E coli strains, but also demonstrate that F107 fimbriae can be found in association with postweaning diarrhoea isolates. In these latter strauns enterotoxins were always demonstrated, irrespective of the presence of toxin SLT-IIv.  相似文献

Immunoprophylaxis of porcine oedema disease and post-weaning diarrhoea caused by strains of Escherichia coli expressing fimbriae F18 is an unsolved problem. The study was designed to examine whether vaccination with a live F18ac vaccine of unweaned pigs born to sows with F18ac antibody in the colostrum requires preformed fimbriae in the vaccine, and whether protection against the heterologous fimbrial variant F18ab is induced as well. Genetically susceptible pigs were vaccinated orally on three consecutive days, beginning 10 days before weaning with 10(11) CFU of an F18ac culture. Challenge with a dose of 10(7) CFU of E. coli F18 on three consecutive days was initiated 9 or 11 days after weaning. Eighteen pigs given the fimbriated F18ac vaccine and challenged with a strain of the homologous fimbrial variant were protected against colonization; mean faecal viable counts of the challenge strain were >3 log10 lower than those from the 17 non-vaccinated control pigs. The vaccinated pigs developed a significant rise of F18ac IgA serum antibodies. The 23 pigs which had received the non-fimbriated vaccine showed no significant protection and exhibited much lower serum F18ac IgA ELISA reactivities. Eighteen pigs vaccinated with the fimbriated F18ac and challenged with an F18ab strain had faecal viable counts nearly as high as those from 16 non-vaccinated control pigs. It is concluded that only oral vaccines having preformed fimbriae induce protection limited to the homologous fimbrial variant.  相似文献

采用PCR-RFLP方法检测了江苏苏太断奶仔猪FUT1基因M307位点等位基因多态性分布,在所检的49头仔猪中,GG基因型个体16头,AG基因型19头,AA基因型14头。在此基础上,制备上述不同基因型个体仔猪小肠上皮细胞,分别与表达F18ab菌毛的野生型大肠杆菌、表达F18ac菌毛含fed操纵子全基因的重组大肠杆菌和V型系统表面分泌表达F18abFedF亚单位的重组大肠杆菌进行体外黏附试验和黏附抑制试验。研究结果表明:FUT1基因M307位点中GG型和AG型仔猪小肠上皮细胞均能黏附上述3种大肠杆菌,而AA型个体小肠上皮细胞则不能黏附。将上述3种大肠杆菌分别与抗F18ab菌毛高免血清、F18ac菌毛高免血清及抗F18abFedF亚单位单因子血清作用后,则失去黏附仔猪肠上皮细胞能力。上述结果对苏太猪从体外试验上证明了FUT1基因M307位点多态性与断奶仔猪腹泻和水肿病存在着直接的相关性。  相似文献

为探究撒坝猪源大肠杆菌(E.coli)高致病性毒力岛(HPI)诱导小鼠病理损伤的超微结构特征,本研究将实验室保存的E.coli HPI阳性株(HPI+)和E.coli HPI基因缺失株(ΔHPI)进行复苏和培养,分别用E.coli HPI+E.coli ΔHPI菌株以腹腔接种的方式感染昆明小鼠,检测菌株的半数致死量(50% lethal dose,LD50),通过HE染色和透射电镜观察并分析菌株对小鼠病理损伤的超微结构特征,利用免疫组织化学标记白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)阳性细胞在被感染小鼠肝脏和肾脏组织中的分布,以反映E.coli HPI+E.coli ΔHPI菌株所引起炎症水平的差异。结果显示,E.coli HPI+E.coli ΔHPI菌株的半数致死量分别为1×107.39和1×108.62 CFU/mL;HE染色显示,E.coli感染小鼠后,可见肝脏细胞肿胀、变性,肝窦淤血,肾脏间质淤血,肾小管上皮细胞变性脱落等病理变化;超微结构变化显示,肝脏细胞的完整形态消失,胞核呈不规则形态,线粒体畸形,粗面内质网上核糖体脱落,滑面内质网增生;多数肾小管上皮细胞出现胞核固缩,部分细胞核核仁边移、体积增大,足突融合,系膜细胞间隙变宽。此外,E.coli HPI+感染组小鼠于肝脏、肾脏的水肿现象较E.coli ΔHPI菌株感染的小鼠更为明显。免疫组化结果显示,大肠杆菌感染小鼠后,IL-1β蛋白主要表达于肝细胞、中央静脉周围、肾间质细胞和肾小管上皮细胞,且E.coli HPI+感染组的IL-1β表达量高于E.coliΔHPI感染组。综上所述,撒坝猪源E.coli HPI能够调控E.coli对小鼠的致病性,HPI的调控作用可使E.coli对小鼠肝脏、肾脏造成的病变及超微结构变化更明显,并且能够增加小鼠的炎症反应。  相似文献

Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) and enterotoxaemic (ETEEC) Escherichia (E.) coli that express F18 (F107) fimbriae colonize the small intestine and cause diarrhoea and/or oedema disease in weaned pigs. So far, two antigenic variants of F18 can be distinguished with a common antigenic factor designated ‘a’ and two specific factors called ‘b’ and ‘c’. In this study the existence of crosswise anti-colonization immunity between E. coli strains that express F18ab or F18ac fimbrial variants, respectively, was demonstrated. Weaned pigs of susceptible genotype with respect to susceptibility to adhesion of E. coli with fimbriae F18 were inoculated with E. coli strains 3064STM (O157:K-:H-:F18ab; resistant to streptomycin) and 8199RIF (O141ab:K-:H4:F18ac; resistant to rifampicin). The faecal shedding was compared subsequent to immunization and homologous or heterologous challenge. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to measure IgA, IgM and IgG antibodies against the F18ab and F18ac antigens in saliva, faeces, serum and intestinal wash samples. About 8 log CFU/g of the inoculated strains were found in faeces of all pigs following immunization as well as in non-immunized controls after challenge. Bacterial counts of the inoculated strains after challenge were between 2 and 5 log lower, without any difference between homologous and heterologous challenge. Intestinal colonization with fimbriated E. coli resulted in production of significantly increased levels of anti-fimbrial antibodies, especially IgA, in serum and intestinal wash samples. There were higher levels of homologous than of heterologous anti-fimbrial antibodies. Production of antibodies against F18a or against another common fimbrial antigen is probably responsible for crosswise anti-colonization immunity between E. coli strains with F18ab and F18ac fimbrial variants. Serum F18-specific IgA may be a useful indicator of a mucosal immune response directed against F18 fimbriae.  相似文献

试验旨在研究大肠杆菌(E.coli)对奶牛子宫内膜上皮细胞(bovine endometrial epithelial cells,BEECs)的体外炎性损伤,探究大肠杆菌引发炎性反应的最佳浓度、作用时间及机制。首先,用不同浓度的大肠杆菌(5×104、5×105、1×106、2.5×106、5×106 CFU/mL)诱导刺激细胞3、6和9 h,通过倒置显微镜观察细胞形态、CCK-8法测D450 nm值,检测大肠杆菌对细胞活性的影响;其次,用不同浓度的大肠杆菌(5×104、5×105 CFU/mL)处理细胞3、6和9 h,用ELISA方法检测细胞上清液中白介素-1β(IL-1β)、IL-6、IL-8和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的分泌量;最后,用不同浓度的大肠杆菌(5×104、5×105 CFU/mL)处理细胞6和9 h,用Western blotting检测核因子κB抑制蛋白α(IκBα)和p65蛋白的磷酸化水平。结果显示,与对照组相比,大肠杆菌感染细胞9 h后,1×106、2.5×106和5×106 CFU/mL大肠杆菌组细胞活性均极显著降低(P<0.01),5×105 CFU/mL大肠杆菌组显著降低(P<0.05);大肠杆菌感染细胞9 h后,5×105 CFU/mL大肠杆菌组IL-1β、IL-6、IL-8和TNF-α极显著升高(P<0.01);大肠杆菌感染细胞6 h后,5×105 CFU/mL大肠杆菌组IκBα、p65蛋白磷酸化水平和IL-6均极显著升高(P<0.01),5×104 CFU/mL大肠杆菌组IκBα和p65蛋白磷酸化水平显著升高(P<0.05)。结果表明,大肠杆菌可以刺激奶牛子宫内膜上皮细胞产生炎性反应,且当细胞与5×105 CFU/mL大肠杆菌作用6 h或与5×104 CFU/mL大肠杆菌作用9 h为最佳。  相似文献

Escherichia coli adhesion assays were conducted using isolated porcine peripheral blood lymphocytes, Peyer's patch lymphocytes, rectal epithelial cells or brush borders, buccal epithelial cells and brush borders from small intestinal epithelial cells. The cells and brush borders were tested for their ability to bind K88-piliated exterotoxigenic E. coliStrain M1823B (K88ac) and E. coli Strain 1476 (K-12, K88ac). Comparison of adhesive phenotypes of 37 weaned pigs as determined by the adhesion assay with small intestinal brush borders and the adherence of K88ac+ enterotoxigenic E. coli to peripheral blood lymphocytes, Peyer's patch lymphocytes and rectal epithelial cells or brush borders, revealed no correlation. In vitro adhesion of K88ac-bearing E. coli was always negative with buccal epithelial cells. K88ac strains varied in their ability to adhere to lymphocytes and rectale pithelial cells or brush borders, indicating that the mechanism of adherence is unrelated to K88-mediated adhesion observed in animals that had the receptors on small-intestinal epithelial-cell brush borders. The non-piliated control E. coli Strain 123 adhered to fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes, and less intensively to frozen-thawed peripheral blood lymphocytes or Peyer's patch lymphocytes. It was concluded that none of the cell types or brush borders, except small-intestinal epithelial-cell brush borders, could be used as targets for phenotyping pigs for the presence of the K88 receptors that have been associated with adhesion and colonization of K88+ enterotoxigenic E. coli in the porcine small intestine.  相似文献

The presence of fimbrial adhesin F18 is frequently found in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) strains responsible for diarrhoea and oedema disease of weaned pigs. The F18 adhesin occurs in two antigenic variants: F18ab is characteristic of VTEC while F18ac is more typical for ETEC. F18 encoding plasmids of 17 phenotypically characterized porcine E. coli isolates (10 ETEC, 6 VTEC and 1 ETEC/VTEC) were tested with a DNA probe for F18 fimbrial adhesin and with replicon probes for the RepFIa, RepFIb and for the RepFIc family of basic replicons. In all the cases, the F18 probe hybridized to only one plasmid band of size higher than 42MDa. All F18 plasmids were determined to be unireplicon plasmids belonging to the RepFIc replicon family of the F incompatibility complex. There was no difference between F18ac plasmids of ETEC and F18ab plasmids of VTEC strains in terms of replicon type or subtype. However, the size of F18ab plasmids of the VTEC strains varied between 42 and 98MDa, in contrast to F18ac plasmids of ETEC strains (constantly approximately 98MDa).  相似文献
