Lingual antimicrobial peptide (LAP), a member of the β-defensin family in cows, is involved in the innate immune system and plays a crucial role in killing a large variety of microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the immunolocalization of LAP in the mammary glands of cows. A LAP antibody was raised in a rabbit by immunity with a synthetic 11 amino acid sequence out of a 42-amino acid sequence of the mature form of LAP. The specificity of the LAP antibody was checked using a competitive immunoassay and Western blotting. Paraffin sections of the mammary gland were immunostained with LAP antibody. In the competitive immunoassay, an increase of synthetic LAP concentration suppressed the optical density. Western blotting analysis for LAP revealed the presence of the LAP peptide in mammary alveolar tissue. When the mammary gland was immunostained with LAP antibody, epithelial cells of both infected and non-infected alveoli were immunopositive. These results indicate that LAP is localized in the epithelium of non-infected as well as infected alveolus in the mammary gland in cows. 相似文献

Mastitis, inflammation of the mammary tissue, is a common disease in dairy animals and mammary pathogenic Escherichia coli (MPEC) is a leading cause of the disease. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an important virulence factor of MPEC and inoculation of the mammary glands with bacterial LPS is sufficient to induce an inflammatory response. We previously showed using adoptive transfer of normal macrophages into the mammary gland of TLR4-deficient C3H/HeJ mice that LPS/TLR4 signaling on mammary alveolar macrophages is sufficient to elicit neutrophil recruitment into the alveolar space. Here we show that TLR4-normal C3H/HeN mice, depleted of alveolar macrophages, were completely refractory to LPS intramammary challenge. These results indicate that alveolar macrophages are both sufficient and essential for neutrophil recruitment elicited by LPS/TLR4 signaling in the mammary gland. Using TNFα gene-knockout mice and adoptive transfer of wild-type macrophages, we show here that TNFα produced by mammary alveolar macrophages in response to LPS/TLR4 signaling is an essential mediator eliciting blood neutrophil recruitment into the milk spaces. Furthermore, using the IL8 receptor or IL1 receptor gene-knockout mice we observed abrogated recruitment of neutrophils into the mammary gland and their entrapment on the basal side of the alveolar epithelium in response to intramammary LPS challenge. Adoptive transfer of wild-type neutrophils to IL1 receptor knockout mice, just before LPS challenge, restored normal neutrophil recruitment into the milk spaces. We conclude that neutrophil recruitment to the milk spaces is: (i) mediated through TNFα, which is produced by alveolar macrophages in response to LPS/TLR4 signaling and (ii) is dependent on IL8 and IL1β signaling and regulated by iNOS-derived NO. 相似文献

Naturally acquired gram-negative bacterial intramammary infections (n = 160) were studied in 99 cows over a 2-year period. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, Serratia spp, Enterobacter spp, and unidentified gram-negative bacteria were isolated from 28.8, 39.4, 9.4, 5.0, and 11.2%, respectively, of infected mammary glands. A majority (61%) of intramammary infections were first detected during the nonlactating period. Gram-negative bacteria isolated during the first half of the nonlactating period were predominantly Klebsiella spp, Serratia spp, and Enterobacter spp. Onset of E coli intramammary infections was more prevalent during the second half of the nonlactating period and during the first 7 days of lactation. The majority (59%) of infections were less than 28 days in duration, but Klebsiella spp and Serratia spp infections were of significantly (P less than 0.05) greater duration than infections with E coli. The greatest percentage (47%) of gram-negative bacterial intramammary infections were first detected during the summer. 相似文献

The objective of the present study is to examine whether colostrum whey can have an effect on immune function in goats digestive tract. Two milliliters of colostrum whey (colostrum group) or water (control group) were administrated orally to goats every day for 3 weeks. Blood was collected twice a week for 3 weeks to measure immunoglobulin A (IgA), interleukin 8 (IL‐8), and IL‐10. At the end of the experimental period, the parotid glands, oral mucosa, lingua, esophagus, jejunum, and ileum were collected for immunohistochemical detection of IgA, cathelicidin‐7, and S100A8. The ratio of the length of IgA‐positive mucosal surface in the esophagus to the total esophageal length was significantly greater in the colostrum group than in the control group. The number of IgA‐positive cells in the labial gland and ileum in the colostrum group was significantly higher than that in the control group. There were no significant differences between the colostrum and control groups in the number of cathelicidin‐7‐positive cells in the jejunum and ileum and in the number of S100A8‐positive cells in the lingua, jejunum, and ileum. These results suggest that colostrum stimulates the recruitment of plasma cells into the labial gland, which then secrete more IgA into the saliva. 相似文献

Intra-mammary (IM) bacterial infection in cattle can result in clinical outcomes that range from being acute and life-threatening to those that are chronic and sub-clinical. The typical bacteria involved in IM bacterial infections activate the mammary immune system in different ways which can influence the severity of the outcome. A clear understanding of the mechanisms that activate and regulate this response is central to the development of effective preventative and treatment regimes. This review focuses on the different immune responses of the bovine mammary gland to common mastitis-causing pathogens. There is special emphasis on comparing the responses to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus infections, as these are typically associated, respectively, with acute/severe and chronic/sub-clinical forms of the disease. 相似文献

In the mouse, L‐amino acid oxidase (LAO) produces hydrogen peroxide by utilizing free amino acids and is a proven antibacterial factor in mammary glands. Mastitis, a bacterial infection of the mammary gland, is the most frequent disease in dairy cattle. Here, we investigate whether LAO is expressed in the mammary gland of dairy cattle and is antibacterial. In dairy cattle, the expression level of LAO mRNA in the mammary gland was considerably lower than that in mice, and LAO activity was not observed in cattle milk that produced hydrogen peroxide. The expression of LAO mRNA was also low in Japanese Black cattle, the same as in Holstein cattle. A higher LAO mRNA expression was observed in the mastitis glands than in the lactating glands. Furthermore, spleen and lymph nodes expressed high levels of LAO mRNA in dairy cattle. We conclude that mammary glands in dairy cattle have lower ability to express the LAO gene compared to that in mice, which may result in a high incidence of mastitis. 相似文献

To compare the effects of milk stasis and milk flow on Brucella abortus infection of the mammary gland under the same systemic conditions, primiparous goats (n = 5) were inoculated IV with B abortus on the day of parturition, and suckling by their neonates was restricted to one mammary gland. Goats were euthanatized and necropsied at 3 weeks after inoculation, and milk, mammary glands, and supramammary lymph nodes were evaluated by bacteriologic, histologic, and immunoenzymatic staining techniques. Nonnursed mammary glands had high titers of brucellae in milk, moderate interstitial mastitis, and brucellar antigen in macrophages located primarily in alveolar and ductal lumina. Brucellae often filled the macrophage cytoplasm. In contrast, nursed mammary glands had fewer brucellae in milk, minimal inflammatory changes, and no detectable brucellar antigen in histologic sections. Hyperplastic changes were only seen in supramammary lymph nodes draining nonnursed mammary glands; these contained more brucellae than lymph nodes draining nursed mammary glands. These studies show that milk stasis may be the sole cause of increased susceptibility of nonnursed mammary glands to B abortus infection. 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

Factors influencing the degree of in vitro bacterial adhesion to ovine mammary gland epithelial cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Bacterial adhesion to mammary gland epithelial cells (EC) may play a role in the pathogenesis of mastitis. In vitro adherence systems have been developed to study mastitis in cattle but little has been done in sheep. In this work, a method is described for obtaining mammary gland cell preparations containing greater than or equal to 65% EC from live or dead ewes, using a Ficoll-Hypaque flotation method (cell viability = 70-90%). An in vitro adhesion assay procedure was also developed to study the interaction between EC and ovine mastitis bacterial strains. It was observed that, under the test conditions, adherence increased as the incubation time was prolonged from 30 to 120 min (P less than 0.05). Adhesion was greater at incubation temperature of 37 degrees C than at 22 degrees C (P less than 0.001). An acidic pH (5.9) was associated with an increase in adhesion, when compared with a higher pH (7.2; P less than 0.05). Tween 20, Tween 80 and bovine serum albumin helped to eliminate a background of unbound bacteria from the test slides, but they also inhibited adhesion to some strains. Strain differences in adhesion and in ability to form a background were also observed. Some of these findings may have in vivo implications. 相似文献

The influence of anti-inflammatory therapy on bacterial clearance following intramammary Escherichia coli challenge in goats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Coliform mastitis in dairy cattle frequently results in systemic disease with occasional deaths in association with endotoxic shock. Systemic anti-inflammatory therapy has been used to alter the course of endotoxic shock in severe cases. Use of anti-inflammatory therapy has been questioned on the basis that such treatment may compromise immune function and decrease clearance of bacteria from infected mammary glands. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether anti-inflammatory therapy influenced bacterial clearance following intramammary challenge of lactating goats with Escherichia coli.Standardized quantities of a pathogenic coliform culture were infused through the teat canal into one half of the mammary gland in 18 goat does. The does were then randomly assigned to receive one of three intravenous treatments: saline (controls), one dose of steroid (dexamethasone), or two doses of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (flunixin meglumine). The clinical signs, milk production, complete blood counts, serum clinical chemistry values, milk bacterial cultures and milk somatic cell concentrations were monitored sequentially.Goats treated with anti-inflammatory agents exhibited some improvement in clinical response to challenge with E. coli (e.g. rectal temperature, degree of appetite suppression) as compared to saline controls. There were no significant differences between treatments in the degree of inflammation present in the mammary glands or supramammary lymph nodes examined at necropsy. The most important finding was that anti-inflammatory therapy did not adversely influence the clearance of E. coli from challenged glands. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare the dynamics of innate immune components after intramammary infusion of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) under conditions of high oestrogen and high progesterone in goats. In one group (“E‐group”), controlled internal drug release (CIDR) devices were inserted intravaginally from days ?11 to ?4. Prostaglandin F2α was administered immediately after removal of the CIDR device at day ?3, and then oestradiol benzoate (E) was injected intramuscularly once a day from days ?2 to 3. Heat‐inactivated SA was then administered via intramammary infusion to the left udder at day 0, whilst only saline was infused to the right udder as a control. In a second group (“P‐group”), CIDR devices were inserted intravaginally from days ?3 to 7 and SA was infused at day 0 in the same way as in the E‐group. The milk yield and the concentration of innate immune components (somatic cell count (SCC), lactoferrin (LF), S100A7 and goat ß‐defensin 1 (GBD‐1)) in the milk were measured. Milk yield decreased drastically in both SA and control udders in the E‐group, whereas the P‐group exhibited increased milk yield in both SA and control udders. SCC increased after SA infusion in both E‐ and P‐groups, although it was higher in the E‐group than in the P‐group. There was no significant change in LF concentration in the E‐group, but a decrease was observed in the P‐group. Concentrations of S100A and GBD‐1 were significantly increased after SA infusion in the E‐group but not in the P‐group. These results suggest that E enhances the innate immune response induced by SA in the goat mammary gland. This effect may be due to the reduction in milk yield and upregulation of innate immune components. 相似文献

Seven healthy native goats in early lactation, weighing 30–40 kg, were used in this study. The right mammary gland of the seven does were infused with CpG-ODN at a dosage of 100 μg kg−1 body weight on the day 5 postpartum (PP). The left glands were used as controls and infused with sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). On day 8 PP, the same dosage of CpG-ODN or PBS was again infused. On day 9 PP, the mammary glands (both right and left) of the seven does were infused with 6 × 106 colony-forming units (CFU) Escherichia coli and, at 0, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h postinfection (PI), milk samples were collected from all glands. Goats were euthanized at 72 h PI and the mammary tissue harvested. Infusion with 6 × 106 CFU ml−1 E. coli induced acute mastitis. Histopathological evaluations showed that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) were still present in alveoli at 72 h PI, but PMNs in the CpG-ODN-treated glands has disappeared. Bacteria counts in milk peaked at 16 h PI and CpG-ODN induced a significant decrease in viable bacteria from 16 h PI until the end of the experiment. This study showed that CpG-ODN promoted the expression of its specific receptor (TLR-9 mRNA) in mammary tissue, stimulated IL-6 production, reduced bacteria counts in milk, attenuated the impact of inflammation mediators on cells and significantly shortened the inflammation course. These results suggest that the CpG-ODN improved mammary gland defense and, thereby, had a beneficial effects against mastitis caused by E. coli infection in goats. 相似文献

It has been reported that goat cathelicidin‐2, an antimicrobial peptide, localizes in leukocytes and is present in milk. Here, we examined whether cathelicidin‐2 is secreted by leukocytes. Different concentrations (105–108 cells/mL) of blood leukocytes were cultured for 0–48 h with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After culture, the concentrations of cathelicidin‐2 in the conditioned media were measured. Blood was collected from male goats 0–24 h after the intravenous injection of Escherichia coli O111:B4 LPS. The plasma cathelicidin‐2 concentrations were determined and the blood leukocytes immunostained with anti‐cathelicidin‐2 antibody to calculate the proportion of cathelicidin‐2‐positive cells in the total leukocytes. When higher concentrations of leukocytes were cultured, the cathelicidin‐2 concentrations in the media increased significantly, whereas the addition of LPS to the media caused no further increase. The plasma cathelicidin‐2 concentrations did not increase with time after LPS infusion. The proportion of cathelicidin‐2‐positive cells in the total leukocytes was significantly reduced 1 h after LPS injection compared with that at 0 h, but increased again at 6 h and thereafter. These results suggest that cathlicidin‐2 is secreted by leukocytes even without LPS stimulation, whereas LPS may be required for cathelicidin‐2‐containing leukocytes to be recruited from the blood to tissues showing inflammation. 相似文献
