Non-cytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (ncpBVDV) induces immune responses mediated by chemokines and interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs). Cultured bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from ncpBVDV-naïve cattle were used herein to demonstrate that BVDV infection modulates chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), CXCL12, IFN-I, ISGs and selected immune cell marker (CD4, CD8, CD14) mRNAs, and that these acute responses to viral infection are reflected in PBMC cultured with serum from heifers carrying fetuses persistently infected (PI) with ncpBVDV. Infection of PBMC with ncpBVDV increased IFN-β, ISG15, RIG-I, CXCR4, CXCL12, and CD8 mRNA concentrations after 32 h. Culture of PBMC with uterine vein serum from acutely infected heifers, inoculated with ncpBVDV during early gestation to generate PI fetuses, also increased the concentration of CXCR4, RIG-I and ISG15 mRNAs. In vitro PBMC treatment with ncpBVDV or uterine vein serum from acutely infected pregnant heifers activates chemokine, ISG and immune cell responses.  相似文献

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is very common in dogs, but its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. It has been suggested that a Th2-dominant status may be associated with the occurrence of canine AD. IL-12 is thought to be important for the differentiation of Th1 cells. The IL-12 receptor β2 (IL-12Rβ2) gene is considered to play a critical role in signal transduction and is attracting attention as one of the causative genes of AD in humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between IL-12Rβ2 gene expression and canine AD. The canine IL-12Rβ2 gene was cloned by RT-PCR and its nucleotide sequences were determined. Canine IL-12Rβ2 showed 76.8% homology at the amino acid level with human IL-12Rβ2, and its structural motifs were well conserved. cDNA with a 91 bp deletion including the transmembrane region was also cloned, which consequently produced a frame shift and an early stop codon. The deletion region corresponded to exon 14 of the human IL-12Rβ2 gene on chromosome 1. The expression of deleted canine IL-12Rβ2 mRNA in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells was examined in seven healthy dogs and 11 AD dogs. Both deleted and intact mRNAs were expressed at constant ratios in healthy and AD dogs. The results indicate that the deletion of the transmembrane region is not associated with the occurrence of AD, and that the expression of the deleted mRNA may be constitutive and produced by alternative splicing.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is very common in dogs, but its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. It has been suggested that a Th2‐dominant status may be associated with the occurrence of canine AD. IL‐12 is thought to be important for the differentiation of Th1 cells. The IL‐12 receptor β2 (IL‐12Rβ2) gene is considered to play a critical role in signal transduction and is attracting attention as one of the causative genes of AD in humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between IL‐12Rβ2 gene expression and canine AD. The canine IL‐12Rβ2 gene was cloned by RT‐PCR and its nucleotide sequences were determined. Canine IL‐12Rβ2 showed 76.8% homology at the amino acid level with human IL‐12Rβ2, and its structural motifs were well conserved. cDNA with a 91 bp deletion including the transmembrane region was also cloned, which consequently produced a frame shift and an early stop codon.

5-Lipoxygenase cDNA was prepared from canine white blood cells revealing the full-length message using an oligonucleotide capping method. The sequenced 5-Lipoxygenase open reading frame revealed a 2031 base pair message encoding a 676 amino acid protein. The amino acid sequence showed mild variation with the presumed canine sequence, as well as differences in important residues of known phosphorylation observed in other species. The sequence had between 86 and 92% homology with other species, revealing a highly conserved sequence. Confirmation of gene product identity was achieved through transient transfection of the gene in a V5-Histidine tagged pcDNA 3.1 vector into a known canine cell line. Both V5 antibody and 5-lipoxygenase antibody confirmed the gene product using Western blotting and immunoflourescence.  相似文献

The role of monoamine oxidase has been shown to be related to some behavioral changes including aggression and cognitive dysfunction. In order to demonstrate the basic expression patterns of monoamine oxidase in the canine brain, we determined the full-length nucleotide sequences of cDNA for canine monoamine oxidase type A (MAOA) and type B (MAOB) genes that were isolated from the canine brain cDNA library. Oligonucleotide primers for PCR were constructed based on the conserved sequences reported thus far for other mammalian species. The nucleotide sequences had open reading frames of 1584 and 1563 bp for MAOA and MAOB, respectively. Both of these genes showed relatively high homology with other species in both nucleotide (> 81%) and deduced amino acid (> 85%) sequences. In Northern blot analyses MAOA mRNA was expressed broadly in various parts of the canine brain, whereas MAOB mRNA was found only in specific brain regions, such as the hypothalamus, hippocampus, brain stem and olfactory bulb. These results suggest that MAOA and MAOB mRNAs have subtype-specific expression patterns in the canine brain.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To purify and partially characterize various isoforms of canine pepsinogen (PG) from gastric mucosa. SAMPLE POPULATION: Stomachs obtained from 6 euthanatized dogs. PROCEDURE: Mucosa was scraped from canine stomachs, and a crude mucosal extract was prepared and further purified by use of weak anion-exchange chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography, and strong anion-exchange chromatography. Pepsinogens were characterized by estimation of molecular weights, estimation of their isoelectric points (IEPs), and N-terminal amino acid sequencing. RESULTS: Two different groups of canine PG were identified after the final strong anion-exchange chromatography: PG A and PG B. Pepsinogens differed in their molecular weights and IER Pepsinogen B appeared to be a dimer with a molecular weight of approximately 34,100 and an IEP of 4.9. Pepsinogen A separated into several isoforms. Molecular weights for the various isoforms of PG A ranged from 34,200 to 42,100, and their IEPs ranged from 4.0 to < 3.0.The N-terminal amino acid sequence for the first 25 amino acid residues for PG A and B had good homology with the amino acid sequences for these proteins in other species. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Canine PG B and several isoforms of canine PG A have been purified. Availability of these PGs will facilitate development of immunoassays to measure PG in canine serum as a potential diagnostic marker for gastric disorders in dogs.  相似文献

The immunological biomarkers profiles were evaluated using Luminex as putative measures to monitor canine mammary carcinomas (MCs). Forty female dogs were categorized into benign mixed tumour (MC‐BMT = 28) and mammary carcinoma (MC=12). The ascendant biomarker signatures were used to compare the groups. For example, a higher frequency of MC‐BMT animals producing IL‐6, CXCL‐8 and CXCL‐10 was observed, whereas for the MC group IL‐2 and CXCL‐8 were detected. MC‐BMT animals without metastasis had an increase in the levels of IL‐2, CXCL‐8, CXCL‐10, IL‐6, TNF‐α, IL‐15 and a decrease in IL‐10 and CXCL‐8. MC‐BMT animals with metastasis showed only an increase in CXCL‐10 and a decrease in IL‐18. After comparing the ascendant signatures following the presence of metastasis in both groups, a higher frequency of dogs exhibiting IL‐10 production was observed. Pearson correlation (P = 0.0273) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that this pattern was associated with worse outcome and lower survival rates in MC animals.  相似文献

Escherichia coli O86 belongs to the enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) group, some strains of which are pathogens of humans, wild birds and farm animals. The O-antigen gene cluster of E. coli O86 was amplified by long-range PCR using primers based on the housekeeping genes galF and gnd, and then sequenced. Genes involved in GDP-Fuc and N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc) synthesis and genes encoding glycosyltransferases, O-unit flippase and O-antigen polymerase were identified on the basis of homology. By screening against 186 E. coli and Shigella-type strains, two genes specific to E. coli O86 were identified. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, based on the specific O-antigen genes identified here, could be used for the rapid detection of E. coli O86 in environmental and clinical samples. The relationship between E. coli O86 and O127 was also determined by comparing the two O-antigen gene clusters.  相似文献

In this study, a total of 118 Escherichia coli strains isolated from dogs (93) and cats (25) with urinary tract infection (UTI) were tested in a multiplex polymerase chain reaction for the presence of adhesin-encoding genes (pap, sfa, and afa), hemolysin encoding genes (hly), cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (cnf1) and aerobactin (aer) genes. Virulence gene frequencies detected in those isolates which had been randomly collected (68 canine strains) were: 43% pap, 57% sfa, 1% afa, 44% hly, 41% cnf1 and 34% aer. These frequencies were much higher in the remaining 50 hemolytic strains of either cat or dog origin. Virulence factor associations in the 80 hemolytic strains studied revealed that 50/80 simultaneously had two adhesin genes (pap and sfa) and two cytotoxin genes (hly and cnf1), and 15/80 in addition had the aer gene. The major structural subunit and antigenic determinant of P fimbriae of uropathogenic E. coli is PapA. Polymorphism in this subunit was studied by an F antigen-specific papA allele polymerase chain reaction in 51 canine and 22 feline pap positive E. coli strains. The most prevalent canine papA alleles were F10 (39%), F15 (37%) and F12 (35%). In feline strains F15 (50%) was more frequent, other allele frequencies were F12 (45%), F14 and F10 (27%) and F16 (23%). Only nine canine and two feline strains were negative for one of the 11 serologically defined F types of P fimbriae. Three copies of the pap operon were found in 16/51 canine and 9/22 feline UTI E. coli pap positive strains. In this study, we show that a particular combination of virulence genes appears with high frequency in dog and cat urinary tract E. coli strains (pap, sfa, hly, and cnf1). In spite of the more frequent presence of F10, F12 and F15 papA alleles in this virulence gene combination, the occurrence of different papA alleles in strains where up to three copies of the pap operon are present accounts for the observed P fimbriae diversity.  相似文献
