PLoS One 2015; 10:e0137755. [PMID: 26375594 PMCID: PMC4573518 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0137755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2015] [Accepted: 08/20/2015] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Intramammary infusion of the antigen used to sensitize cows by the systemic route induces a local inflammation associated with neutrophil recruitment. We hypothesize that this form of delayed type hypersensitivity, which may occur naturally during infections or could be induced intentionally by vaccination, can impact the outcome of mammary gland infections. We immunized cows with ovalbumin to identify immunological correlates of antigen-specific mammary inflammation. Intraluminal injection of ovalbumin induced a mastitis characterized by a prompt tissue reaction (increase in teat wall thickness) and an intense influx of leukocytes into milk of 10 responder cows out of 14 immunized animals. The magnitude of the local inflammatory reaction, assessed through milk leukocytosis, correlated with antibody titers, skin thickness test, and production of IL-17A and IFN-γ in a whole-blood antigen stimulation assay (WBA). The production of these two cytokines significantly correlated with the magnitude of the milk leukocytosis following the ovalbumin intramammary challenge. The IL-17A and IFN-γ production in the WBA was dependent on the presence of CD4+ cells in blood samples. In vitro stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes with ovalbumin followed by stimulation with PMA/ionomycin allowed the identification by flow cytometry of CD4+ T cells producing either IL-17A, IFN-γ, or both cytokines. The results indicate that the antigen-specific WBA, and specifically IL-17A and IFN-γ production by circulating CD4+ cells, can be used as a predictor of mammary hypersensitivity to protein antigens. This prompts further studies aiming at determining how Th17 and/or Th1 lymphocytes modulate the immune response of the mammary gland to infection.

Abstract
Chicken eggs are recognized for their versatility as a food product and as a model for research in biology and medicine. This study investigated the egg white as a source of bioactive compounds. Egg white was fractionated using tandem ion exchange chromatography (SAX and SCX), and seven fractions were assessed for any associated bioactivity. Four fractions at various protein concentrations were shown to contain proliferative bioactivity that exceeded the FBS control. The most potent fraction (6) was used in an in vitro wound closure assay to demonstrate a positive influence on cell migration and restored scratch wounds more rapidly than the control. LC-MS/MS identified 33 proteins in fraction 6 of egg white, most of which play important roles in cell growth and development, signaling, motility, and proliferation. These candidate bioactives suggest that the egg white contains essential compounds that contribute to the growth of an embryo prior to fertilization.

Abstract
Chemokine receptors mediate leukocyte migration into secondary lymphoid tissues and localization to peripheral inflammation sites. We describe full-length cDNA sequences of bovine chemokine receptors CCR5, CCR7, CXCR3 and CXCR5 and transcript expression by WC1(+)gammadelta T cells, a unique cell population with proinflammatory characteristics that comprises a large proportion of mononuclear cells in young ruminants. Bovine chemokine sequences were more similar to those of humans than were murine sequences to humans', ranging from 84% to 91%. Transcript analysis showed that antigen stimulation of WC1(+)gammadelta T cells induced IFN-gamma production and substantially increased CCR5 and CXCR3 expression when compared with freshly isolated (ex vivo) cells. CCR7 transcripts were minimally expressed in ex vivo and proliferating WC1(+)gammadelta T cells and CXCR5 expression was negligible. These results confirm the proinflammatory nature of WC1(+)gammadelta T cells is reflected by its chemokine receptor expression and suggest WC1(+)gammadelta T cells are unlikely to transit through secondary lymphoid tissues.

Abstract
Immune function measured by Staphylococcus aureus- and phytohemagglutinin- (PHA-) induced cell proliferation was assessed in a population of 445 genetically defined, F2 and backcross Charolais-Holstein crossbred cattle when the animals were approximately 5 mo of age. Variation in Staph. aureus-induced, PHA-induced, and control proliferation [peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and media only] was observed at d 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10 of in vitro culture. The levels of Staph. aureus-induced, PHA-induced, and control proliferation were strongly positively correlated between days of culture within-assay (e.g., between d 2 and d 3 or between d 4 and d 5). Responses were also positively correlated when the same individuals were resampled and the assay repeated within 3 mo. Analyses fitting linear mixed models using REML showed that Staph. aureus-induced and PHA-induced proliferation was significantly associated with control proliferation and the year of birth. The age of the animal at sampling influenced only Staph. aureus-induced proliferation, with Staph. aureus-induced proliferation increasing with the age of the animal. Control proliferation was influenced by a sex x cross interaction, although in this study, sex was confounded by management, as female cattle were housed and reared differently from male cattle. All 3 measures of immune function were influenced by sire, demonstrating that these traits are partially under genetic control, and indicating that it may ultimately be possible to identify quantitative trait loci for these measures of immunity.

Abstract
WC1 molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins belonging to the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich family and uniquely expressed on gammadelta T cells. Although participation of WC1+ gammadelta T cells in immune responses is well established, very little is understood regarding the significance of expressing different forms of the WC1 molecule. Two forms previously identified by mAbs, i.e., WC1.1 and WC1.2, are expressed by largely nonoverlapping subpopulations of gammadelta T cells. In this study it was shown that expression of the WC1.1 coreceptor was the main indicator of proliferation and IFN-gamma production in response to autologous and bacterial Ags as well as for IFN-gamma production without proliferation in Th1-polarizing, IL-12-containing cultures. Nevertheless, after culture in either Th1-polarizing or neutral conditions, mRNA was present for both T-bet and GATA-3 as well as for IL-12Rbeta2 in WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ subpopulations, and neither produced IL-4 under any conditions. Although the steady decrease in the proportion of WC1.1+ cells, but not WC1.2+ cells, within PBMC with animal aging suggested that the two subpopulations may have different roles in immune regulation, cells bearing either WC1.1 or WC1.2 expressed mRNA for regulatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-beta, with TGF-beta being constitutively expressed by ex vivo cells. Overall, the results demonstrate that the form of the WC1 coreceptor expressed on gammadelta T cells divides them into functional subsets according to IFN-gamma production and proliferative capacity to specific stimuli as well as with regard to representation within PBMC. Finally, evidence is provided for minor differences in the intracytoplasmic tail sequences of WC1.1 and WC1.2 that may affect signaling.

Abstract
Since the T cell receptor of gammadelta T cells is associated with CD3 molecules, it is a reasonable postulate that signal transduction through CD3 would occur in gammadelta T cells as it does in alphabeta T cells. However, while a small percentage of bovine gammadelta T cells divided in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in response to stimulation by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) the majority of viable gammadelta T cells at the end of the culture period had not. This was assessed by carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) loading of cells and flow cytometric analysis here and previously [Res. Vet. Sci. 69 (2000) 275]. When intracytoplasmic staining for interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was also used here to assess activation through CD3, a small proportion of gammadelta T cells (approximately 14%) produced IFN-gamma during the first 4 h of culture and by 72 h of culture that number had doubled. By comparison, a much larger proportion of CD4 and CD8 T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb divided and although the percentage of CD4 and CD8 T cells that produced IFN-gamma at 4 h was similar to that of gammadelta T cells, by 72 h the majority of CD4 and CD8 T cells were IFN-gamma(+). Addition of IL-2 did not increase the proportion of gammadelta T cells that responded to anti-CD3 stimulation by cell division. To test the hypothesis that gammadelta T cells were inhibited from responding by other mononuclear cell populations within PBMC, monocytes were removed from the PBMC or gammadelta T cells were purified by magnetic-bead sorting. Only a small distinct population of the sorted cells underwent multiple cell divisions in response to anti-CD3 mAb and removal of monocytes resulted in only a moderate increase in gammadelta T cell replication. The anti-CD3 mAb stimulation system may provide a useful system to evaluate the difference in the requirements for activation and clonal expansion for gammadelta T cells versus alphabeta T cells.

Abstract
Intracellular infections are important in veterinary medicine and detailed understanding of the associated immune responses is needed for optimal development of strategies based on diagnosis and vaccination. It is generally accepted that cell-mediated immune responses are of greatest importance in intracellular infections and recent studies from several bovine models of infection indicate that WC1(+) gammadelta T-cells have a number of possible levels of involvement, which remain incompletely defined. Investigations of experimental infection with Mycobacterium bovis in cattle have indicated that WC1(+) gammadelta T-cells are among the first cells to accumulate at initial sites of infection, an observation which has been linked with decreased numbers of these cells in the circulation within days of infection. These WC1(+) gammadelta T-cells have been shown to respond in vitro, both to protein antigens and to non-protein, phosphate containing antigens of M. bovis and to be capable of producing IFN-gamma. Studies of M. bovis infection in calves depleted of WC1(+) gammadelta T-cells by monoclonal antibody have suggested that the presence of these cells is associated with development of a Th1-biased acquired immune response. In combination, these observations allow speculation regarding a possible role for WC1(+) gammadelta T-cells as a link between the innate and acquired immune systems which is instrumental in establishing an appropriate response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow cytometry (FCM) provides an alternative to radioactive methods for the analysis of T-cell responses. However, a comparative study of common FCM assays in an outbred ruminant model is lacking, which motivated this work. METHODS Goats immunized with the obligate intracellular bacterium Cowdria ruminantium, inactivated and emulsified in oil-based adjuvants, were used as a model to study T-cell recall responses in vitro. FCM-based methods to measure Cowdria-induced lymphoblastogenesis, DNA synthesis, and interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) expression by T-cell subsets were compared. RESULTS IL-2R expression was the most sensitive and reliable method provided that the number of molecules per cell was analyzed and not simply the percentage of positive cells of a given phenotype. Despite high background due to adjuvant and low proliferation, this method could detect antigen-specific activation of immune CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. CONCLUSIONS FCM-based measurement of lymphoblastogenesis and DNA synthesis are not the most appropriate methods to analyze T-lymphocyte activation during vaccination of outbred animals. On several occasions, analysis of IL-2R expression was the only assay capable of discriminating between vaccinated and naive animals in this model.

Abstract
The effects of IL-12 on the responses of cattle peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) antigen and ovalbumin (OVA) were tested, in vitro. IL-12 did not affect the proliferative responses of PBMC to these antigens but markedly accelerated and augmented the level of IFNgamma secreted. When tested on lymphoblasts rather than resting T-cells IL-12 also enhanced proliferation. In contrast IL-4 and, to greater extent, IL-10 inhibited the response. The effect of IL-12 on IFNgamma synthesis was confirmed at the level of IFNgamma. mRNA expression using Taqman PCR. CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations produced IFNgamma, however, CD4 T-cells comprised the largest contributors to the IFNgamma production. Gamma/delta T-cells did not contribute markedly. A comparison of the species cross-reactivity showed bovine IL-12 was also active in the human system. This study shows that antigen-driven responses in cattle can be significantly influenced by exogenous cytokines and suggests the IL-12/IL-10 balance is crucial for regulation of IFNgamma.

Abstract
Memory T- and B-cell responses to trypanosome antigens were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, spleen and lymph node cells obtained from four trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle which had been exposed to six experimental infections with Trypanosoma congolense. These cattle were treated with trypanocidal drugs following each infection and had remained aparasitemic for 3 years prior to this study. The antigens used were whole trypanosome lysate, variable surface glycoprotein, a 33-kDa cysteine protease (congopain) and a 70-kDa heat-shock protein. As parameters of T-cell-mediated immunity, we measured T-cell proliferation and IFN-gamma production. Lymph node cells, spleen cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells all proliferated to a mitogenic stimulus (concanavalin A) but only lymph node cells responded to trypanosome antigens. Similarly, IFN-gamma was produced by both lymph node and spleen cells stimulated with concanavalin A but only by lymph node cells stimulated with variable surface glycoprotein and whole trypanosome lysate. T. congolense-specific antibodies were detected in sera and in supernatants of cultured lymph node and spleen cells after in vitro stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and recombinant bovine interleukin-2. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that memory T- and B-cell responses are detectable in various lymphoid organs in cattle 3 years following infection and treatment with T. congolense.
