RESUMO

Mycoplasma bovis is a destructive pathogen that causes large economic losses in rearing cattle for beef and dairy worldwide. M. bovis causes suppression of and evades the host immune response; however, the mechanisms of host immune function involved in M. bovis mastitis have not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of the bovine immune response to mycoplasmal mastitis. We evaluated the responsiveness of the bovine mammary gland following infusion of M. bovis Somatic cell counts and bacterial counts in milk from the infected quarter were increased. However, the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (blood MNCs) and mononuclear cells isolated from M. bovis-stimulated mammary lymph nodes (lymph node MNCs) did not differ from that in the unstimulated cells. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the mRNA levels of innate immune system-related genes in blood MNCs, complement factor D (CFD), ficolin 1 (FCN1), and tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 13 (TNFSF13) decreased following intramammary infusion of M. bovis The mRNA levels of immune exhaustion-related genes, programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) of milk mononuclear cells (milk MNCs) in the infected quarter were increased compared with those before infusion. Increase in immune exhaustion-related gene expression and decrease in innate immune response-related genes of MNCs in quarters from cows were newly characterized by M. bovis-induced mastitis. These results suggested that M. bovis-induced mastitis affected the immune function of bovine MNCs, which is associated with prolonged duration of infection with M. bovis.

RESUMO

Mycoplasma bovis causes chronic arthritis in calves. Mycoplasma arthritis shows severe inflammatory reactions in joints that is commonly treated with antibiotics and results in significant economic losses in the calf industry. A previous study showed that inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) produced by synovial cells promote progression of the pathophysiology of bacterial arthritis. However, the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of bovine Mycoplasma arthritis has not been fully clarified. In this study, we examined the immunologic response of bovine synovial tissue to M. bovis. We observed significant increases in expression of interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, MMP-1, and MMP-3 mRNA in synovial tissue from Mycoplasma arthritis calves compared with tissues from normal calves. Expression of IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-1 mRNA was also induced in cultured synovial cells stimulated with M. bovis, but not expression of IL-1ß and MMP-3 mRNA. In contrast, the culture supernatant of peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with M. bovis induced marked increases in the expression of IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, MMP-1, and MMP-3 mRNA in synovial cells. Our results indicate that inflammatory cytokines and MMPs produced by synovial cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of Mycoplasma arthritis. We suggest that interactions between synovial cells and mononuclear cells in the presence of M. bovis induce expression of these cytokines and MMPs in synovial cells, resulting in severe inflammatory reactions in the joints.

RESUMO

Mycoplasma spp. are contagious bacteria, and mycoplasmal mastitis is a serious productivity problem on dairy farms. Bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) have an important role in the elimination of pathogens, but the effect of Mycoplasma bovis on bMECs has not been fully described. To elucidate the immune response against intramammary infection by M. bovis, we undertook microarray analysis to examine and profile mRNA expression in bMECs after stimulation with M. bovis. We also compared the effects of M. bovis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli on immune-related mRNA expression in bMECs. Transcriptome analysis indicated a significant decrease in the level of mRNA-encoding lysine-specific demethylase 4D, suggesting that the immune response is suppressed by a decrease in histone demethylase activity. Interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, and TLR4 mRNA expression levels were significantly increased in bMECs stimulated with heat-killed M. bovis, but the expression levels were lower than those following stimulation by heat-killed S. aureus or E. coli. Our results suggest that M. bovis weakly affects mRNA expression in bMECs compared to the effects of E. coli or S. aureus. Moreover, live M. bovis may induce suppression of the immune response in bMECs.
