Abstract
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is a multifactorial condition affecting cattle worldwide resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. The disease can be triggered by Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) infection, stress, and the subsequent proliferation and lung colonization by commensal bacteria such as Mannheimia haemolytica, ultimately inducing severe pneumonic inflammation. Due to its polymicrobial nature, the study of BRD microbes requires co-infection models. While several past studies have mostly focused on the effects of co-infection on host gene expression, we focused on the relationship between BRD pathogens during co-infection, specifically on M. haemolytica’s effect on BoHV-1 replication. This study shows that M. haemolytica negatively impacts BoHV-1 replication in a dose-dependent manner in different in vitro models. The negative effect was observed at very low bacterial doses while increasing the viral dose counteracted this effect. Viral suppression was also dependent on the time at which each microbe was introduced to the cell culture. While acidification of the culture medium did not grossly affect cell viability, it significantly inhibited viral replication. We conclude that M. haemolytica and BoHV-1 interaction is dose and time-sensitive, wherein M. haemolytica proliferation induces significant viral suppression when the viral replication program is not fully established.

The Bacterial and Viral Agents of BRDC: Immune Evasion and Vaccine Developments. Vaccines (Basel) 2021; 9:vaccines9040337. [PMID: 33916119 PMCID: PMC8066859 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines9040337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is a multifactorial disease of cattle which presents as bacterial and viral pneumonia. The causative agents of BRDC work in synergy to suppress the host immune response and increase the colonisation of the lower respiratory tracts by pathogenic bacteria. Environmental stress and/or viral infection predispose cattle to secondary bacterial infections via suppression of key innate and adaptive immune mechanisms. This allows bacteria to descend the respiratory tract unchallenged. BRDC is the costliest disease among feedlot cattle, and whilst vaccines exist for individual pathogens, there is still a lack of evidence for the efficacy of these vaccines and uncertainty surrounding the optimum timing of delivery. This review outlines the immunosuppressive actions of the individual pathogens involved in BRDC and highlights the key issues in the development of vaccinations against them.

Cytokine expression in bovine PBMC cultures stimulated with Hypoderma lineatum antigens. Vet Parasitol 2020; 283:109165.

Abstract
Hypoderma antigens are involved in host inflammation and immune response, conditioning larvae survival. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures from Hypoderma sensitized and unsensitized cattle were performed to determine the effect of H. lineatum antigens and incubation time (18, 24, 48 h) on IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-4 mRNA gene expression determined by RT-qPCR. TNF-α and IL-4 gene expression were higher in Hypoderma previously sensitized PBMCs, suggesting that a mixed Th1/Th2 response may play a significant role in host defence reactions against Hypoderma exhibited by previously infested cattle. Incubation time had a significant effect on IL-10 and TNF-α gene expression, which decreased over time. Regarding to H. lineatum antigens, the crude larval extract and the purified fraction hypodermin B (HB) produced a significant reduction of the mRNA expression levels of the proinflammatory cytokine, IFN-γ; moreover, the HB had a stimulating effect on the mRNA gene expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, demonstrating that the parasite would modulate the host defence mechanisms by avoiding harmful immune responses that would limit its survival into the host tissues.

Bovine Gamma Delta T Cells Contribute to Exacerbated IL-17 Production in Response to Co-Infection with Bovine RSV and Mannheimia haemolytica. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0151083.

Abstract
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a leading cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection in children under five years of age. IL-17 and Th17 responses are increased in children infected with HRSV and have been implicated in both protective and pathogenic roles during infection. Bovine RSV (BRSV) is genetically closely related to HRSV and is a leading cause of severe respiratory infections in young cattle. While BRSV infection in the calf parallels many aspects of human infection with HRSV, IL-17 and Th17 responses have not been studied in the bovine. Here we demonstrate that calves infected with BRSV express significant levels of IL-17, IL-21 and IL-22; and both CD4 T cells and γδ T cells contribute to this response. In addition to causing significant morbidity from uncomplicated infections, BRSV infection also contributes to the development of bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), a leading cause of morbidity in both beef and dairy cattle. BRDC is caused by a primary viral infection, followed by secondary bacterial pneumonia by pathogens such as Mannheimia haemolytica. Here, we demonstrate that in vivo infection with M. haemolytica results in increased expression of IL-17, IL-21 and IL-22. We have also developed an in vitro model of BRDC and show that co-infection of PBMC with BRSV followed by M. haemolytica leads to significantly exacerbated IL-17 production, which is primarily mediated by IL-17-producing γδ T cells. Together, our results demonstrate that calves, like humans, mount a robust IL-17 response during RSV infection; and suggest a previously unrecognized role for IL-17 and γδ T cells in the pathogenesis of BRDC.

Abstract
Mannheimia haemolytica is a bacterial pathogen that secretes leukotoxin (LktA) which binds to leukocyte membranes via CD18, causing bacterial pneumonia in ruminants. We report the complete closed genome sequences of a leukotoxin mutant and its parent strain that are frequently used in respiratory disease studies.

Abstract
This study was aimed at mapping the tissue distribution of some inflammatory parameters associated with a Mannheimia haemolytica (M. haemolytica) infection in sheep. The M. haemolytica was isolated and characterized from the affected lungs of slaughtered animals. Cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-10, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, as well as the acute-phase protein, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), were identified in the lung tissues, the serum, and the lymph nodes of M. haemolytica infected sheep, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). NGAL and IGF-1 pointed to an innate immune response, and epithelial cell repairing, respectively. The adaptive immune response was identified through the type of cytokines present in the affected sheep, as TNF-α represents the pro-inflammatory cytokines, and IL-10 represents the anti-inflammatory cytokines. M. haemolytica isolates were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequences. There was a significant difference in the concentrations of NGAL, IGF-1, TNF-α, and IL-10, as observed in the affected sheep when compared to the healthy sheep. This study, for the first time, closely describes the distribution of some key and new inflammatory parameters in the tissue homogenate of affected lungs.

Abstract
The effect of vaccinating pregnant cows with an inactivated vaccine against Mannheimia haemolytica, BRSV and PI3V infections on selected immune responses in their offspring was examined. Blood samples were collected weekly for 12 weeks from six newborn calves from each of vaccinated (experimental) and unvaccinated (control) dams. Specific antibodies to M. haemolytica, BRSV and PI3V and mean values of IgA, IgG concentrations were significantly higher in the experimental calves compared with the controls. However, specific antibody titres to adenovirus type 3, BHV1 and BVDV in the experimental calves had constant levels while the control group levels changed. The IgM, Hp and SAA concentrations generally increased until week 8 in the experimental group, but the control group titres became higher after week 9. This study demonstrates that specific immunisation of cows pre-partum significantly stimulated parameters associated with immunity and it also controlled the acute phase response intensity in their offspring. Therefore the vaccination of dams may provide additional antibody protection against infection to their offspring.

Direct and indirect anti-inflammatory effects of tulathromycin in bovine macrophages: inhibition of CXCL-8 secretion, induction of apoptosis, and promotion of efferocytosis.

Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that immunomodulation by antibiotics may enhance their clinical efficacy. Specifically, drug-induced leukocyte apoptosis and macrophage efferocytosis have been shown to promote the resolution of inflammation in a variety of disease settings. Tulathromycin is a new macrolide antibiotic for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease. The direct antimicrobial effects of the drug alone do not fully justify its superior clinical efficacy, and we hypothesize that tulathromycin may have immunomodulating properties. We recently reported that tulathromycin promotes apoptosis and inhibits proinflammatory NF-κB signaling in bovine neutrophils. In this study, we investigated the direct and indirect anti-inflammatory effects of tulathromycin in bovine macrophages. The findings indicate that bovine monocyte-derived macrophages and alveolar macrophages readily phagocytose tulathromycin-induced apoptotic neutrophils both in vitro and in the airways of Mannheimia haemolytica-infected calves. Moreover, tulathromycin promotes delayed, concentration-dependent apoptosis, but not necrosis, in bovine macrophages in vitro. Activation of caspase-3 and detection of mono- and oligonucleosomes in bovine monocyte-derived macrophages treated with tulathromycin was observed 12 h posttreatment; pretreatment with a pan-caspase inhibitor (ZVAD) blocked the proapoptotic effects of the drug. Lastly, tulathromycin inhibited the secretion of proinflammatory CXCL-8 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bovine macrophages; this effect was independent of caspase activation or programmed cell death. Taken together, these immunomodulating effects observed in bovine macrophages help further elucidate the mechanisms through which tulathromycin confers anti-inflammatory and proresolution benefits. Furthermore, these findings offer novel insights on how antibiotics may offer anti-inflammatory benefits by modulating macrophage-mediated events that play a key role in inflammation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the role of leukotoxin (LKT) in modulating the pulmonary cytokine response of calves challenged with Mannheimia haemolytica. Thirty-six calves, seronegative to LKT and M. haemolytica whole cell antigen were divided into three groups (I, II and III). Calves in groups I and II were challenged by the intra-bronchial route with 25 mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.44×10(9) cfu/mL of LKT deficient (lkt(-)) and 25 mL of PBS containing 0.31×10(9) cfu/mL of wild-type (wt) M. haemolytica serotype 1, respectively. Group III calves were challenged intra-bronchially with 25 mL of sterile PBS. Leukocytes were collected from broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) 4 days before and at 1, 3, and 6 days post-inoculation (p.i.). Expression of the following cytokines in the recovered leukocytes was measured using real-time PCR: interleukin (IL)-1β, -8, -10, -12 (p40) and TNF-α. The amount of TNF-α produced was also quantified by ELISA. Although a statistically significant difference in the expression of these cytokines was not observed between groups challenged with the wt and lkt(-) strains, the wt infected group (II) did exhibit higher mean clinical scores. Overall, there was considerable variation in the composition of the BALF between the groups and by day 7 p.i., both lkt(-)- and wt-challenged calves had seroconverted to M. haemolytica.
