Lingual antimicrobial peptide (LAP), one of the β-defensins in bovines, and lactoferrin (LF) are synthesized in mammary epithelium and have bactericidal and bacteriostatic functions. However, it is not known whether they have similar expression patterns. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to compare (1) immunolocalization of LAP and LF in the mammary gland and (2) changes in concentration of these two components in milk after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Bovine mammary tissues without LPS challenge were collected and their sections were immunostained with antibodies to LAP or LF. Milk from our previous study was collected every hour up to 12h and twice daily from d 1 to 7 after LPS challenge (the day of infusion was considered as d 0). These milk samples were measured for LAP but not LF in our previous report. Therefore, concentration of LF was measured by enzyme immunoassay in the present study. Epithelial cells of some alveoli showed immunopositive reaction for LF, but negative for LAP. Conversely, some alveoli were LAP positive in their epithelial cells but LF negative. Many alveoli had immunoreactions for neither LAP nor LF. The concentration of LAP in milk was elevated significantly at 3h after LPS infusion compared with pre-infusion values and remained at a high level until 12h. However, LF concentration in milk remained low at d 0 and increased at d 2. These results suggest that LAP and LF were mostly differentially localized in the alveolar epithelium in mammary glands. The different spatial expressions between them may be associated with their different temporal expression mechanisms. 相似文献

Systemic and local immune response of cows to intramammary infection with Staphylococcus aureus 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The association between Staphylococcus aureus chronic mammary gland infection and the resulting immune response expressed by the production of specific IgG and IgA antibodies in blood and milk was studied in Israeli Holstein cows. Specific antibodies of the IgG class were detected in sera of 82.6 per cent of the cows chronically infected by S aureus, while in 17.4 per cent no such antibodies could be detected. Specific IgG antibodies to S aureus were neither detected in sera of cows free of mammary infection nor in those infected with different coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) such as S intermedius, S chromogenes or S haemolyticus. In milk, specific IgG antibodies to S aureus were detected only in cows with positive serology. The end point dilutions in the milk were 5 to 30 per cent of that of blood from the same cow. No significant difference in IgG titres was found in the same cow if the quarter was infected with S aureus or not. Specific antibodies to S aureus of the IgA class could not be detected in the sera of any of the cows included in this study. In milk, a specific IgA antibody was detected only in the samples from the S aureus infected quarters in which S aureus was isolated at the time of the experiment. In the same cow, quarters infected by S aureus were found to have a significantly higher IgA titre (P < 0.0001) than that of the non-infected ones. 相似文献

Glucose delivery and uptake by the mammary gland are a rate-limiting step in milk synthesis. It is thought that insulin-independent glucose uptake decreases in tissues, except for the mammary gland, and insulin resistance in the whole body increases following the onset of lactation. To study glucose metabolism in peak-, late-, and nonlactating cows, the expression of erythrocyte-type glucose transporter (GLUT1) and the insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) in the mammary gland, adipose tissue, and muscle were assessed by Western blotting and real-time PCR. Our results demonstrated that the mammary gland of lactating cows expressed a large amount of GLUT1, whereas the mammary gland of nonlactating cows did not (P < 0.05). On the other hand, adipose tissue of late and nonlactating cows expressed a large amount of GLUT1, whereas the adipose tissue of peak-lactating cows did not (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the abundance of GLUT4 mRNA in adipose tissue and muscle, whereas GLUT4 mRNA was not detected in the mammary gland. The plasma insulin concentration was greater (P < 0.05) in nonlactating cows than in peak- and late-lactating cows. The results of the present study indicate that in lactation, GLUT1 expression in the mammary gland and adipose tissue is a major factor for insulin-independent glucose metabolism, and the expression of GLUT4 in muscle and adipose tissue is not an important factor in insulin resistance in lactation; however, the plasma insulin concentration may play a role in insulin-dependent glucose metabolism. Factors other than GLUT4 may be involved in insulin resistance. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to examine changes in innate immune factors in the milk of mastitic dairy cows treated with antibiotics. Cows in the antibiotics group (n = 13) were infused into the mammary gland with cefazolin on the sixth day after mastitis was diagnosed (the day of the mastitis diagnosis = day ?6). The control group (n = 12) was not treated. Milk samples were collected once every 2 days from days ?6 to 12 and somatic cell count (SCC), lingual antimicrobial peptide (LAP), and lactoferrin (LF) concentrations and lactoperoxidase (LPO) activity were measured. SCC and LF concentrations in the antibiotics group markedly decreased after the antibiotic treatment. When cows in the antibiotics group were divided according to SCC on day 0, LAP concentrations and LPO activity in cows with a lower SCC on day 0 (<5 × 106 cell/mL) were significantly higher and lower than those in cows with a higher SCC, respectively. These results suggest that LF concentration decreased with decrease in SCC after treatment and that LAP concentration and LPO activity differed depending on the severity of mastitis. This is the first report to reveal the dynamics of innate immune factor in milk of cows treated for clinical mastitis. 相似文献

Due to their close proximity to the mammary gland tissue, the bacterial communities lining the teat apex of the udders from lactating cows influence udder health. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of the amplified V3 variable region of the 16S rRNA gene was used as a culture-independent method to reveal the bacterial composition of 48 samples originating from the teat apices of twelve Friesian-Holstein dairy cows suffering from clinical mastitis in one quarter. The microbiota belonged to four bacterial phyla: the Actinobacteria (32% of all genera), the Bacteroidetes (1%), the Firmicutes (42%), and the Proteobacteria (25%), encompassing 17 bacterial genera. Some differences in occurrence of these genera were seen when comparing quarters that were non-infected (n=22), subclinically infected (n=14), or clinically infected (n=12). Besides commensal skin-associated bacteria, opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, and mastitis-causing pathogens were found as well. The species diversity varied considerably among the most prevalent bacterial genera. While Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus displayed a large diversity among the recovered sequences, indicating the possible presence of a variety of different species, only a single bacterial species (represented by one sequence) was obtained for the genera Aerococcus, Acinetobacter, and Psychrobacter. In conclusion, introducing culture-independent analysis of teat apical skin swabs in mastitis research revealed an unexpected wide bacterial diversity, with variations between quarters with a different clinical status. In addition to potential mastitis-causing pathogens, it exposed the yet poorly mapped presence of skin-associated and other bacteria residing in close proximity to the mammary gland tissue. PCR-DGGE may thus be considered as a useful tool for the entanglement of animal skin microbiota, in casu the teat apices of dairy cows. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) procedure was used to quantitate milk and serum antibodies (IgG) to Staphylococcus aureus alpha and beta toxins, and S. aureus 2-8 and Smith diffuse strain capsular antigens. Milk samples were collected on two occasions. A comparison was made between levels of milk antibodies specific for the two toxins and capsular antigens for 41 cows that were infected with S. aureus on both sampling dates, and 18 cows not S. aureus-infected on either date. Staphylococcus aureus-infected cows were grouped according to somatic cell counts. All groups of infected cows, regardless of somatic cell counts, had significantly higher milk antibody levels to alpha and beta toxins than did the non-infected cows (P less than .002). Serum samples taken for 13 infected and 4 non-infected cows also indicated that significant elevations in anti-alpha toxin and anti-beta toxin IgG were present in S. aureus-infected cows, compared to non-infected cows. A similar immune response was not seen to capsular antigens, however. No significant differences were present between the two groups of cows for either milk or serum antibodies to Smith diffuse strain capsular antigens. Milk antibodies to 2-8 capsule were significantly elevated only in infected cows with somatic cell counts greater than 10(6)/ml, compared to non-infected cows; no differences were present for serum antibodies to 2-8 capsule between infected and non-infected cows. These results indicate that significant increases in milk (and possibly serum) antibodies to alpha and beta toxins are present in cows with chronic staphylococcal mastitis, apparently resulting from a systemic immune response to these toxins. There does not appear to be a similar immune response to capsular antigens. 相似文献

为了研究4F2hc在奶牛乳腺中的表达模式及调控方式，进一步明确氨基酸在奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中的跨膜转运过程，本研究采用Western blotting和实时荧光定量PCR技术检测了4F2hc在泌乳期和干奶期奶牛乳腺组织中的表达变化；在体外培养的泌乳期奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中添加亮氨酸，采用Western blotting和实时荧光定量PCR技术检测其对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中4F2hc表达的影响；采用雷帕霉素抑制剂抑制mTOR信号通路，使用Western blotting方法检测mTOR信号抑制后奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中4F2hc表达以及乳蛋白合成的变化。结果显示，在泌乳期的奶牛乳腺组织中4F2hc的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均显著或极显著高于干奶期（P<0.05，P<0.01）；在体外培养的奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中添加亮氨酸可以极显著提高乳腺上皮细胞中4F2hc的mRNA和蛋白质表达水平（P<0.01）；亮氨酸刺激可以激活细胞内的mTOR信号通路（P<0.05），而雷帕霉素处理则可以显著抑制mTOR信号分子的磷酸化并极显著抑制亮氨酸诱导的4F2hc的表达（P<0.05，P<0.01），进而极显著抑制β-Casein的合成（P<0.01）。以上研究结果表明，4F2hc基因的表达与奶牛乳腺的泌乳活性之间呈正相关，亮氨酸可以通过激活mTOR信号通路来调节4F2hc基因的表达，进而影响乳蛋白的合成。 相似文献

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone, which circulates in the form of homo-multimers. The individual oligomers have a distinct profile of activity, playing crucial roles in several biological processes, including metabolism and inflammation. Adiponectin exerts many of its effects by interacting with the receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. In the present study, mRNA expression of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 was evaluated by quantitative PCR in different areas of the mammary gland in healthy lactating cows. The adiponectin isoforms in milk and blood were investigated by Western blotting and 2D-electrophoresis, and the presence of adiponectin protein was determined by immunohistochemistry.Low level expression of adiponectin mRNA was found in all areas of bovine mammary gland tissues examined. AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNAs were also detected in mammary tissues and their expression was particularly prominent in the parenchyma and cistern. Western blotting revealed a heterogeneous electrophoretic pattern, indicating that different adiponectin isoforms exist in milk, compared with blood. In particular, milk shows a low molecular weight isoform of adiponectin, corresponding to the globular domain. Adiponectin in milk is characterised by a more complex 2D electrophoretic pattern, compared with blood, as illustrated by the presence of proteins of different molecular weights and isoelectric points. Adiponectin protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in epithelial cells lining the secretory alveoli, in secretum within the alveolar lumen and in small peripheral nerves. The study findings support a role for adiponectin in regulating metabolism and immunity of the bovine mammary gland and potentially the calf intestine, following ingestion of milk. 相似文献

To investigate the effect of essential amino acids on LAT1 expression in lactation mammary gland, the lactation mammary acini were cultured and LAT1 and 4F2hc expression were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that essential amino acids upregulated LAT1 and 4F2hc expression significantly in lactation mammary acini of dairy cow. It revealed that LAT1 was the mainly amino acid transporter in lactation mammary gland. The expression of LAT1 and 4F2hc was induced by essential amino acids. 相似文献

The comparison of serological responses in a sample of adult, vaccinated and field‐infected bovines with Brucella abortus is reported. Indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA) titration curves and Western blotting tests for smooth‐type lipopolysaccharide (S‐LPS), rough‐type LPS (R‐LPS) and lipid A were performed. In the initial screening of sera, an overall prevalence of 20.5 % was found, which corresponds to a country with a high incidence of brucellosis. End‐point EIA titres against LPS antigens from vaccinated and field‐infected cows were not significantly different. However, the absorbance values in the titration curves were significantly higher for S‐LPS as compared with the other antigens. A high correlation coefficient (r=0.933) was obtained when the titres to R‐LPS versus lipid A were compared. Western blotting reactions of vaccinated and field‐infected animals were indistinguishable. S‐LPS, R‐LPS and lipid A epitopes were recognized in a heterogeneous manner. In general, the number of bovines that reacted against LPS was higher in the field‐infected group, with a stronger binding to S‐LPS. Based on our observations, the vaccinated and field‐infected bovines are capable of producing similar antibody responses to the Brucella main outer surface antigen, LPS. It should be emphasized that the humoral response of cattle to Brucella LPS contains significant amounts of antibodies to other antigenic moieties of this important surface molecule, which may contribute to the immunity to brucellosis. 相似文献

Experimental intramammary infections were induced in five post-parturient Holstein cows by inoculation of low numbers (5000 colony forming units) of virulent Salmonella dublin via the teat canal of mammary gland quarters. Rectal temperature, pulse and respiratory rates, milk yield, and milk quality as assessed by the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and somatic cell counts (SCC) were recorded every 12 hours at milking. Bacteriologic cultures of foremilk quarter samples and feces were obtained daily, as were complete blood counts. ELISA titers for IgG and IgM recognizing S. dublin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were obtained weekly on serum and quarter milk samples. All cows excreted S. dublin intermittently from infected quarters, but no changes were detected in rectal temperature, appearance of the mammary gland or secretions, CBC, milk yield, and pulse and respiratory rates. Somatic cell counts were modestly increased in infected quarters as compared with uninfected quarters (P = .015, paired t test); however, CMT scores after infection remained low, and were not significantly different from pre-infection scores (P greater than .10, sign test). After infection, administration of dexamethasone resulted in signs of clinical mastitis and increased excretion of S. dublin from mammary quarters (P = .0004, paired t test). One cow had necrotizing mastitis and S. dublin septicemia and was euthanatized. In the four surviving cows, clinical improvement was observed after systemic gentamicin therapy and intramammary infusion with polymyxin B, but all cows continued to excrete S. dublin intermittently from one or more quarters and occasionally from feces for the remaining period of observation. All infected cows demonstrated a rise in IgG and IgM ELISA titers recognizing S. dublin LPS in serum and milk. At necropsy (13-25 weeks postinfection), S. dublin was recovered only from the mammary tissue or supramammary lymph nodes in three of four cows. In one cow, mammary gland and lymph-node samples were negative for S. dublin despite positive milk cultures. In all cows, histopathologic examination revealed multifocal areas of chronic active mastitis. These lesions were similar to histopathologic findings from mammary gland carriers with naturally acquired S. dublin infection. 相似文献

To investigate the relationship between the expression of SYK and dairy cow mammary gland development and lactation, the expression of SYK in lactating dairy cow mammary gland with high or low quality milk and dry period Holstein dairy cow mammary gland was detected by Western blotting and laser confocal microscope.The results showed that SYK expression in dry period mammary gland was significant higher than that in lactating mammary gland (P<0.05).There was no SYK differential expression detected between lactating mammary gland with high quality milk and low quality milk (P>0.05).SYK was mainly located in the cytoplasm of ductal epithelial cells in dry period mammary gland.In lactating mammary gland, SYK was existed in acinar epithelial cells.All these results revealed that SYK was a regulator in mammary epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation.It participated in mammary gland reconstitution in dry period. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare the ability of milk macrophages and macrophages from the mammary gland secretions during the mid-dry period for their interaction with the mastitis-causing Streptococcus uberis. We also aimed to determine if S. uberis induced the release of the cytokine tumour necrosis alpha (TNF-alpha) and the bactericidal moiety nitric oxide (NO) from milk macrophages of lactating cows and macrophages from the mammary gland secretions at the mid-dry period. Macrophages were isolated from the mammary gland secretions of cows during the mid-lactation or mid-dry period, and compared with blood monocytes for their interaction with the important mastitis-causing pathogen S. uberis. When infected in vitro with S. uberis, milk macrophages from lactating cows with S. uberis released modest amounts of the cytokine tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) (139 pg/ml) and the bactericidal moiety nitric oxide (NO) (3-4 microM of nitrite). Blood monocytes from lactating cows released significantly higher amounts of TNF-alpha (345 +/- 143 pg/ml) and NO (7 +/- 2 microM of nitrite) after interaction with S. uberis, compared to milk macrophages (P < 0.01 for both TNF-alpha and NO). Stimulation of blood monocytes with the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) enhanced significantly the release of NO and TNF-alpha, but IFN-gamma did not significantly enhance the production of NO and TNF-alpha by milk macrophages from lactating cows. Milk macrophages from all lactating cows failed to kill S. uberis efficiently, and this lack of killing was unaffected by prior treatment with gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) (P > 0.05). Rather, S. uberis multiplied significantly inside infected milk macrophages from lactating cows, with a two-fold increase in bacterial numbers at 2 h post-infection. Milk macrophages from lactating cows were able however, to kill a significant proportion (50-60%, P < 0.01) of phagocytosed Staphylococcus aureus. Blood monocytes from all cows were found to exert significant bactericidal activity against S. uberis. There were no significant differences in the bactericidal activity of milk macrophages obtained from lactating cows with low somatic cell counts (SCC; < 10(5) ml(-1)) compared with those with a mildly elevated SCC (> 10(5) ml(-1)) (P > 0.05). In contrast, mammary gland secretion macrophages isolated from the same cows in the mid-dry period killed a significant proportion of phagocytosed S. uberis (50-65% of ingested S. uberis killed, P < 0.01) although cytokine production in response to in vitro bacterial infection was low. We conclude that the bactericidal activity of mammary gland secretion macrophages against a virulent strain of S. uberis is low during the lactation period. In addition, our data indicate that S. uberis is not a strong inducer of NO and TNF-alpha in macrophages from the milk or mammary gland secretions of cows during the drying off period. Finally, IFN-gamma does not activate milk macrophages or macrophages from cows during the lactating period or mammary gland secretions during the drying off period. 相似文献

Six cows were inoculated into the mammary gland with eight mycoplasma strains isolated from the genital tract of bulls and two type strains. The milk of cows infected with Mycoplasma bovigenitalium strains isolated from the genital tracts of bulls showed a change in the appearance and contained large quantities of mycoplasmas and specific antibodies. The mastitis was most intense in about 9 days and began to subside in 17 days infection. The type strain of M. bovigenitalium PG11 failed to produce mastitis. On the other hand, the type strain of M. bovis PG45 produced severe mastitis after a 14-day latency period, with the infection spreading to the uninoculated quarters, causing atrophy of the mammary gland, and persisting till slaughter. The sera of all cows that developed mastitis after experimental infection contained high titres of specific antibodies. The two infecting mycoplasma species were recovered from the inner organs and mammary glands of these cows after slaughter. 相似文献
