Neutrophil-derived MMP-9 activity is regulated more promptly and efficiently at the level of degranulation than at other levels of regulation. In human neutrophils, degranulation is one of the earliest responses to TNF-α stimulation, which involves protein kinase C and mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. The level of MMP-9 in mammary secretion of cows increases drastically following milk-stasis, which is partially explained by increases of both neutrophil infiltration and neutrophil degranulation per se. Since MMP-9 represents one of the major remodeling capacities in the mammary gland of cows during early dry period, the current study attempted to explore the involved intracellular mechanisms in the up-regulated MMP-9 secretion. We repeatedly measured on the somatic cells of mammary secretion along the early dry period of cows the expression of TNF-α protein and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK, and JNK. Also, cultures of bovine peripheral neutrophils were conducted to examine the mode of short-term MMP-9 secretion in response to TNF-α stimulation and the blocking effects of TNF-α antibody and inhibitors of MAPK pathways. Ex vivo measurements show that conventional cow milk has fully transformed into a neutrophil-abundant, lactoferrin-rich, and high-MMP-9 mammary secretion by d 7 in milk-stasis. No significant (P>0.05) change, however, was found in the expression of TNF-α or the phosphorylation extent of MAPK pathway intermediates on the somatic cells of mammary secretion during the first 3 weeks in milk-stasis. In vitro studies indicate linear increase of short-term MMP-9 release in response to TNF-α stimulation in dosages between 0.1 and 10 ng/ml. In the presence of preparations of d 7-dry secretion of cows, the short-term release of MMP-9 from bovine peripheral neutrophils was significantly (P<0.05) blocked by inhibitor of p38 MAPK but was significantly (P<0.05) promoted by ERK inhibitor while TNF-α antibody or JNK inhibitor exerted no effect. In conclusion, the current ex vivo measurements suggest no apparent association of TNF-α and MAPK pathway with long term intramammary accumulation of MMP-9 during the early dry period of cows, whereas cultures of bovine peripheral neutrophils under a simulated acute involution intramammary environment of cows suggest a role played by TNF-α and MAPK pathways in the short-term MMP-9 release via degranulation. 相似文献

奶牛乳腺炎是指在不同理化因素刺激下奶牛乳腺的炎性反应,其严重影响了奶牛养殖业的健康发展。许多细胞因子是炎症调节剂,但与奶牛乳腺炎相关的关键细胞因子还未被鉴定。异体移植炎症因子1（allograft inflammatory factor-1,AIF-1）在免疫调节中扮演重要角色,并在多种炎性疾病中过量表达。因此,本研究探讨了牛AIF-1在乳腺炎中的可能作用。首先,利用ELISA试剂盒检测了乳腺炎牛奶中牛AIF-1的含量,并用RT-PCR方法克隆牛AIF-1基因,然后,用亲和层析纯化牛AIF-1蛋白。用此重组蛋白刺激牛乳腺上皮细胞,ELISA试剂盒检测肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素6和单核细胞趋化蛋白1的分泌,Western blot测定IκBα的磷酸化。结果显示,患乳腺炎奶牛乳中AIF-1的平均含量显著高于健康奶牛,而抗生素治愈后的奶牛乳中AIF-1的含量回落到正常水平。这些结果提示,牛AIF-1是一个分泌型蛋白,可能与乳腺炎相关。为了进一步探索这种关系,本研究克隆了牛AIF-1基因并纯化了牛AIF-1蛋白。此蛋白上调了牛乳腺上皮细胞肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素6和单核细胞趋化蛋白1的分泌,并刺激了IκBα的磷酸化。IκBα磷酸化抑制剂BAY 11-7085阻断了牛AIF-1刺激的炎性细胞因子上调。综上表明,牛AIF-1通过核因子κB信号促进了牛乳腺上皮细胞炎症因子的释放。 相似文献

Standard therapies including administration of potent antibiotics, aggressive fluid resuscitation and metabolic support have not been successful in relieving symptoms and reducing mortality associated with acute coliform mastitis. It is important to understand the pathophysiological response of the mammary gland to coliform infections when designing preventive or therapeutic regimens for controlling coliform mastitis. Our laboratory has previously shown that macrophages and polymorphonuclear neutrophils in milk express CD14 on their cell surface. In this study, we found that soluble CD14 (sCD14) is present in milk whey as a 46kDa protein reacted with anti-ovine CD14 antibody. Additional functional studies found that: (1) under serum-free condition, complexes of LPS-recombinant bovine soluble CD14 (rbosCD14) induced activation of mammary ductal epithelial cells (as measured by changes in interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA level by competitive RT-PCR) at low concentrations of LPS after 6 or 24h incubation (1-1000ng/ml), whereas LPS alone did not induce activation of mammary ductal epithelial cells at the same concentrations, and (2) intramammary injection of low concentrations of LPS did not increase concentration of leukocytes in milk. In contrast, LPS-rbosCD14 complex containing the same concentration of LPS increased the concentration of leukocytes in the injected mammary gland at 12 and 24h post-injection. These results indicate that rbosCD14 sensitizes mammary epithelial cells to low concentrations of LPS in vitro and in vivo. Endogenous sCD14 in milk may be important in initiating host responses to Gram-negative bacterial infections. 相似文献

A flow cytometric procedure was evaluated to measure the oxidative burst activity (hydrogen peroxide formation) of bovine neutrophils. The method involves measuring the oxidation of intracellular dichlorofluorescein to fluorescent dichlorofluorescein (DCF). Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) was used to perturb the neutrophil plasma membrane. The sources of variation introduced into the DCF assay were also examined. The sources of variation were attributable to the isolation of neutrophils from blood, variation between duplicate assays and duplicate flow cytometric determinations of oxidative product formation, variation in neutrophil oxidative product formation among cows, and the variation (over repeated daily and weekly neutrophil isolations) in neutrophil oxidative product formation. A final objective was to determine effects of dexamethasone on oxidative product formation, and whether differences existed between blood and mammary neutrophils in oxidative product formation. There was an increasing trend in the formation of DCF with increasing time of incubation and with increasing PMA concentration. Increasing the concentration of PMA decreased lag time and increased the rate of oxidative product formation. The increase in DCF formation was statistically significant up to a PMA concentration of 10 ng/ml. This concentration was considered optimal for bovine neutrophils.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Effects of tripeptides and lactogenic hormones on oligopeptide transporter 2 in bovine mammary gland
Zhou MM Wu YM Liu HY Zhao K Liu JX 《Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition》2011,95(6):781-789
This study was conducted to investigate the expression of oligopeptide transporter 2 (PepT2) and its potential function in bovine mammary gland. First, the PepT2 mRNA and protein were determined in cultured mammary epithelial cells. Then the effects of lactogenic hormones (prolactin, hydrocortisone or insulin) and substrate (threonyl-phenylalanyl-phenylalanine) on PepT2 were investigated. The PepT2 mRNA and protein were successfully detected in bovine mammary epithelial cells. PepT2 gene expression was enhanced by the addition of 50, 500 and 5000 ng/ml prolactin, 10 and 100 ng/ml hydrocortisone, and 50, 500, 5000 and 50,000 ng/ml insulin. PepT2 mRNA abundance was increased when 5, 10 and 15% of threonyl-phenylalanyl-phenylalanine was included. Responses of PepT2 to lactogenic hormones and oligopeptide inferred that it may play an important role in bovine mammary gland. 相似文献

Complement receptor type 3 (CR3)- and Fc receptor (FcR)-mediated metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) secretion and their intracellular
signalling of bovine neutrophils were evaluated. Relative density of MMP-9 secreted by neutrophils stimulated with opsonized
zymosan (OPZ, stimulant for CR3) was significantly (p < 0.05) increased when the OPZ concentration was increased from 0 to 0.4 mg/ml. Similar results were obtained for neutrophils
stimulated with heat-aggregated IgG (Agg-IgG, stimulant for Fc receptor) at concentrations from 0 to 0.40 mg/ml. Preincubation
of neutrophils with 1–30 nmol/L wortmannin (phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor) resulted in inhibition of MMP-9 secretion
induced by stimulation with OPZ and Agg-IgG in a concentration-dependent manner, 30 nmol/L wortmannin causing complete inhibition.
Similarly, preincubation of neutrophils with 0–100 μmol/L genistein (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) also resulted in inhibition
of OPZ- and Agg-IgG-induced MMP-9 secretion in a concentration-dependent manner, with 100 μmol/L genistein causing complete
inhibition. Significant (p < 0.05) positive correlations were found between MMP-9 and luminal-dependent chemiluminescent response (LDCL) in the case
of stimulation with OPZ (r = 0.754) and in the case of stimulation with Agg-IgG (r = 0.728). Our findings suggested that CR3 and FcR play a critical role in production of MMP-9 and may be regulated by intracellular
signal transduction, including that by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and tyrosine kinase (TK). 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine cytotoxic effects of activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and peroxynitrite on bovine mammary secretory epithelial cells before and after addition of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitors, and free-radical scavengers. SAMPLE POPULATION: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils from 3 lactating cows. PROCEDURE: Cells from the bovine mammary epithelial cell line MAC-T were cultured. Monolayers were treated with activated bovine PMN, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1), 4-amino-benzoic acid hydrazide (ABAH), NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, histidine, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). At 24 hours, activity of lactate dehydrogenase in culture medium was used as a relative index of cell death. Tyrosine nitration of proteins in MAC-T cell lysates was determined by visual examination of immunoblots. RESULTS: Lipopolysaccharide, PMA, and < or = 0.1 mM SIN-1 were not toxic to MAC-T cells. Activated PMN, > or = 6 mg of histidine/ml, and 0.5 mM SIN-1 were toxic. Together, histidine and 500,000 activated PMN/ml also were toxic. NG-monomethyl-L-arginine did not have an effect, but ABAH decreased PMN-mediated cytotoxicity. Ten and 50 U of SOD/ml protected MAC-T cells from cytotoxic effects of 0.5 mM SIN-1. Compared with control samples, nitration of MAC-T tyrosine residues decreased after addition of 500,000 PMN/ml or > or = 6 mg of histidine/ml. Superoxide dismutase increased and SIN-1 decreased tyrosine nitration of MAC-T cell proteins in a dose-responsive manner. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Peroxynitrite, MPO, and histidine are toxic to mammary secretory epithelial cells. Superoxide dismutase and inhibition of MPO activity mitigate these effects. Nitration of MAC-T cell tyrosine residues may be positively associated with viability. 相似文献

The objective was to determine if induced mammary inflammation at cessation of milking influenced growth of gram-positive mastitis pathogens in mammary secretions, particularly during early involution. Growth of all mastitis pathogens evaluated was similar in cell-free fat-free mammary secretions from LPS-infused and control glands. These data indicate that intramammary infusion of LPS at cessation of milking did not alter growth of gram-positive mastitis pathogens in mammary secretion during the nonlactating period. Stage of lactation and the nonlactating period influenced bacterial growth and marked differences between bacteria and among strains of a bacterial species were observed. Staphylococcus aureus grew well in secretions collected during late lactation, but growth decreased during early- and mid-involution and increased again in secretions obtained near parturition. Streptococcus agalactiae and Strep. uberis grew better in mammary secretion obtained during involution than in secretions collected during late or early lactation. Streptococcus dysgalactiae grew well in mammary secretions at all time periods. These data demonstrate the variability of mastitis pathogen growth during physiologic transitions of the bovine udder. 相似文献

An appropriate length of milk stasis between two consecutive lactations of dairy cows is crucial for sustainable milk production. This dry period of cows allows extensive remodeling and sufficient cell renewal in mammary gland. Nevertheless, early dry period is one of the most risky stages in cow lactation cycle to intramammary infection. Dry-cow treatment through teats is, therefore, widely practiced at the commencement of milk stasis. Neutrophils are the most abundant cellular components in cow mammary secretion during early dry period, which in turn attribute to the meanwhile elevation of somatic cell counts and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level. This study used bovine peripheral neutrophils as a cell model to examine the mode of modifications in their defense and remodeling functionalities after infiltration into mammary gland during early dry period. Results indicate a dose-dependent suppression of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated free radical production and induction of MMP 9 degranulation in bovine peripheral neutrophils exposure to the d 7-dry secretion of cows received dry cow treatment at d 0 in milk stasis. Meanwhile, an enhancement of plasminogen activation and TNF-α shedding on bovine peripheral neutrophils were also observed. These two cellular events might be involved in the functional modifications on infiltrated neutrophils during early dry period. In conclusion, the opposite trend of modifications in the defense and matrix remodeling functionalities of neutrophils inside the mammary gland of cows at early dry period reflect the collaboration of infiltrated neutrophils for promoting extensive glandular remodeling at minimum compromise of local defense during the acute involution period without apparent disturbance by dry cow treatment. 相似文献

Antibacterial activity of bovine lactoferrin hydrolysates (LFH) on microorganisms isolated from bovine mastitis, and superoxide (O(2)(-)) production of bovine neutrophils were evaluated. Antibacterial effects of LFH were measured in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Streptococci, Enterococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, yeast-like fungi and Prototheca zopfii isolated from clinical cases of bovine mastitis. To compare susceptibilities against LFH, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined by a micro-plate assay method. Most organisms were sensitive to LFH. Prototheca zopfii was highly sensitive to LFH; the growth of the microorganism was inhibited completely even at 1 mug/ml. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were resistant to LFH. The production of O(2)(-) by bovine neutrophils was used to evaluate the effect of LFH administration on functional activity. Increase in O(2)(-) production by bovine neutrophils occurred upon addition of LFH to neutrophils. These results demonstrate that LFH possesses antibacterial activity against pathogens that cause mastitis and activates neutrophil superoxide production. 相似文献

Neutrophil extracellular trap formation by bovine neutrophils is not inhibited by milk 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Neutrophils are the first line of defense in a mammary gland infection. However, the process of neutrophil transmigration across a membrane and ingestion of fat and/or casein when incubated in milk have been shown to inhibit bacterial phagocytosis and oxidative burst functions. Recently, a killing mechanism has been described whereby stimulated neutrophils release nuclear and granule material in fibrous webs that physically trap and kill bacteria. We demonstrate that these neutrophil extracellular traps are also produced by bovine blood neutrophils stimulated with PMA/ionomycin. Importantly, neutrophil extracellular traps can be formed when neutrophils have been incubated for up to 6h in milk prior to stimulation. This contrasts milk's rapid inhibition of bacterial phagocytosis and oxidative burst functions in the neutrophil. Furthermore, stimulation of neutrophils with bacteria common to mammary gland infections leads to neutrophil extracellular traps being formed in milk. Some bacteria tested stimulated enhanced formation of neutrophil extracellular traps in milk compared to culture media. Therefore, being unaffected by incubation in milk may indicate an important role for neutrophil extracellular traps in defense against mastitis. 相似文献

Concentrations of bovine carbonic anhydrase isozyme VI (CA-IV) in bovine serum, saliva, normal milk, colostrum, submandibular
gland, liver, and mammary gland were determined. CA-VI was purified from bovine saliva and an antibody to CA-VI was generated.
The concentrations of CA-VI in the saliva (7.8 ± 7.9 μg/ml), serum (2.1± 5.7 ng/ml), milk (7.9 ± 12.1 ng/ml), submandibular
gland (284.7 μg/g protein), liver (921.0 ± 180.7 ng/g protein) and mammary gland (399.6 ± 191.2 ng/g protein) were determined
by ELISA. No seasonal change in CA-VI levels was observed in normal milk. The concentration of CA-VI in colostrum (day 1 post
partum) was 119 ng/ml and decreased rapidly by 1 month following birth. Mammary gland contained much smaller amounts than
the submandibular gland. CA-VI mRNA was detected in the liver and mammary gland of cow by RT-PCR. The ELISA used in this study
proved to be a precise and sensitive method for determining CA-VI concentrations in saliva, serum, milk and tissue specimens
from cows. The ELISA may enable the study of changes in CA-VI associated with hereditary or metabolic disorders of the salivary
gland, mammary gland and liver using small samples of saliva, serum or milk. 相似文献

Gram-negative bacteria that commonly cause bovine mastitis are classified as environmental pathogens. The point sources of coliform bacteria that cause infections include bedding materials, soil, manure and other organic matter in the environment of cows. Rates of coliform mastitis increase during climatic periods that maximize populations in the environment. The portal of entry into the mammary gland for Gram-negative bacteria is the teat canal. Once in the gland, bacteria must utilize available substrates in the mammary secretion to replicate and evade host defenses. Rates of coliform mastitis are greater during the transitional phases of the non- lactating period than during lactation. The ability to infect the non-lactating gland is directly related to the ability of bacteria to acquire iron from the mammary secretion. The primary host defense against coliform mastitis during lactation is the elimination of bacteria by neutrophils migrating into the gland in response to inflammation. Damage to the host is mediated by the release of endotoxin. The severity and duration of clinical signs associated with coliform mastitis are reduced by the use of core-antigen bacterins. 相似文献

The response of the bovine mammary gland to lipoteichoic acid (LTA), which is a major pathogen-associated molecular pattern of Gram-positive bacteria, was investigated by infusing purified Staphylococcus aureus LTA in the lumen of the gland. LTA was able to induce clinical mastitis at the dose of 100 microg/quarter, and a subclinical inflammatory response at 10 microg/quarter. The induced inflammation was characterized by a prompt and massive influx of neutrophils in milk. LTA proved to induce strongly the secretion of the chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3 and CXCL8, which target mainly neutrophils. The complement-derived chemoattractant C5a was generated in milk only with the highest dose of LTA (100 microg). The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta was induced in milk, but there was very little if any TNF-alpha and no IFN-gamma. The re-assessment of CXCL8 concentrations in milk whey of quarters previously challenged with S. aureus, by using an ELISA designed for bovine CXCL8, showed that this chemokine was induced in milk, contradicting previous reports. Overall, S. aureus LTA elicited mammary inflammatory responses that shared several attributes with S. aureus mastitis. Purified LTA looks promising as a convenient tool to investigate the inflammatory and immune responses of the mammary gland to S. aureus. 相似文献

The morphological features of blood and milk neutrophils from peak lactating goats were compared using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry in order to investigate the cytological changes of neutrophils after migration into the mammary gland. The kinetics of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) generation and gelatinase release of blood and milk neutrophils, with or without stimulation of phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate ester (PMA), were used to characterize their responses to inflammatory stimuli. Neutrophils isolated from goat milk were highly segmented and contained multi-lobed nuclei. Ultrastructurally, milk neutrophils were more ruffled on the surface compared to blood neutrophils. Approximately 30% of milk neutrophils were undergoing cell death, either necrosis or apoptosis, in contrast to 8% of blood neutrophils. The ROI production of activated milk neutrophils peaked earlier than blood neutrophils, but the duration and the intensity were much less. Neutrophils from both sources augmented the release of gelatinase in response to PMA (1 ng/mL). However, the amount of gelatinase released from milk neutrophils was lower (P < 0.05) than that of blood neutrophils. In summary, more neutrophils become apoptotic and necrotic in the mammary gland, presumably due to spontaneous aging, the process of diapedesis, and the interaction with milk components. Milk neutrophils have impaired functionalities in comparison with blood neutrophils. The information is relevant when studying mammary gland immunity and related diseases, such as mastitis. 相似文献

Neutrophils from newborn calves have been shown to be deficient in ability to generate superoxide anion (O2-) after stimulation of the respiratory burst enzyme with the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). This compound activates the O(2-)-generating enzyme of bovine neutrophils through a pathway involving protein kinase C (PKC). To investigate the biochemical basis underlying this functional difference between neutrophils from newborn and adult cattle, we measured and compared the activity of the enzyme PKC in nonstimulated and PMA-stimulated bovine neutrophils. Neutrophils from newborn calves (n = 5) and adult cows (n = 5) were stimulated with various concentrations of PMA (0, 10, 100, and 500 ng/ml) for 3 minutes, and PKC activity was assayed in the cytosolic and the membrane fractions. In nonstimulated cells, most PKC activity was detected in the cytosolic fraction of neutrophils from newborn and adult cattle. Activity of PKC in the cytosol was dependent on the presence of added calcium and phospholipids, whereas membrane-associated PKC in nonstimulated cells did not have such dependence. Significant differences in PKC activity were not observed between newborn and adult cattle in either the cytosolic or the membrane fractions from nonstimulated cells. Stimulation with PMA caused redistribution of PKC activity in the cell (translocation) in newborns and adults, consisting of decrease in cytosolic PKC activity and increase in membrane-associated PKC activity. Similar to that in nonstimulated cells, PKC activity in cytosolic fractions from PMA-stimulated neutrophils was dependent on the presence of cofactors (calcium and phospholipids), whereas PKC activity in the membrane did not have such requirement.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Neutrophils are critical to the innate immune response; therefore, the proper function of neutrophils is critical to avoid the development of certain diseases. Linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acid, is one of the most abundant long-chain fatty acids found in the plasma of cows after giving birth. In this study, we evaluated the effects of linoleic acid treatment on bovine neutrophil adhesion, chemotaxis, metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 release, CD11b expression, intracellular calcium mobilisation, mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and COX-2 and IL-8 expression. Bovine neutrophils isolated from healthy heifers were incubated with different concentrations of linoleic acid, and then neutrophil responses were evaluated. Our results show that the treatment of neutrophils with 100 μM linoleic acid increased their adhesion to the bovine endothelial cell line CPA47. The results of a transwell migration assay revealed that linoleic acid could also promote the chemotaxis of bovine neutrophils. Furthermore, linoleic acid treatment increased MMP-9 activity and CD11b cell surface expression in neutrophils. Fifty and 100 μM linoleic acid also increased intracellular calcium mobilisation in neutrophils loaded with Fluo-4 AM dye. Linoleic acid also rapidly (2–5 min) stimulated the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK as evaluated by immunoblot. Finally, COX-2 and IL-8 mRNA expression increased after 2 h of linoleic acid treatment. In conclusion, linoleic acid stimulates adhesion, chemotaxis, granule release and intracellular responses in bovine neutrophils. 相似文献

Functional and biochemical properties of ovine neutrophils 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Ovine neutrophils were isolated and characterised by their morphology, biochemical and functional responses. Two major granule types were observed, peroxidase positive and peroxidase negative, which were identified as the ovine equivalent of the human azurophil and specific granules respectively. A third type of granule identified, which was present at low frequency and was peroxidase negative, was possibly the ovine equivalent of the bovine large granule. Superoxide production following stimulation with PMA, A23187, PAF, ConA and opsonized zymosan (ZC), was 20-50% less, compared to bovine and human neutrophils. Coincubation of PMA with either PAF or A23187 enhanced superoxide production by 4 to 5 fold above that of the latter stimulants alone. The amount of beta-glucuronidase was similar to, while myeloperoxidase was more than twice that found in bovine neutrophils. Vitamin B12 binding protein was found in very small amounts, compared to that of bovine or human neutrophils. It was observed that coincubation of PMA with PAF, or A23187 resulted in an inhibition of beta-glucuronidase secretion and an enhancement of myeloperoxidase secretion, respectively. Phagocytic capability of ovine neutrophils was found to be optimal at a neutrophil to ZC ratio of 1:10, and which corresponded with an enhanced myeloperoxidase secretion. 相似文献
