Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a multifactorial condition where different genera of bacteria, such as Mannheimia haemolytica, Histophilus somni, Pasteurella multocida, and Mycoplasma bovis, and viruses, like bovine respiratory syncytial virus, bovine viral diarrhea virus, and bovine herpes virus-1, infect the lower respiratory tract of cattle. These pathogens can co-infect cells in the respiratory system, thereby making specific treatment very difficult. Currently, the most common models for studying BRD include a submerged tissue culture (STC), where monolayers of epithelial cells are typically covered either in cellular or spent biofilm culture medium. Another model is an air-liquid interface (ALI), where epithelial cells are exposed on their apical side and allowed to differentiate. However, limited work has been reported on the study of three-dimensional (3D) bovine models that incorporate multiple cell types to represent the architecture of the respiratory tract. The roles of different defense mechanisms in an infected bovine respiratory system, such as mucin production, tight junction barriers, and the production of antimicrobial peptides in in vitro cultures require further investigation in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disease pathogenesis. In this report, we describe the different aspects of BRD, including the most implicated pathogens and the respiratory tract, which are important to incorporate in disease models assembled in vitro. Although current advancements of bovine respiratory cultures have led to knowledge of the disease, 3D multicellular organoids that better recapitulate the in vivo environment exhibit potential for future investigations.

Abstract
Bovine Alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is one of the major respiratory pathogens in cattle worldwide. Infection often leads to a compromised host immune response that contributes to the development of the polymicrobial disease known as “bovine respiratory disease”. After an initial transient phase of immunosuppression, cattle recover from the disease. This is due to the development of both innate and adaptive immune responses. With respect to adaptive immunity, both humoral and cell-mediated immunity are required to control infection. Thus, several BoHV-1 vaccines are designed to trigger both branches of the adaptive immune system. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on cell-mediated immune responses directed against BoHV-1 infection and vaccination.

Abstract
Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is a persistent and recurring disease that affects cattle worldwide. It is a major contributor to bovine respiratory disease and reproductive failure in the US. A major complication of BoHV-1 arises from the lifelong latent infection established in the sensory ganglia of the peripheral nervous system following acute infection. Lifelong latency is marked by periodic reactivation from latency that leads to virus transmission and transient immunosuppression. Physiological and environmental stress, along with hormone fluctuations, can drive virus reactivation from latency, allowing the virus to spread rapidly. This review discusses the mechanisms of the latency/reactivation cycle, with particular emphasis on how different hormones directly regulate BoHV-1 gene expression and productive infection. Glucocorticoids, including the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone, are major effectors of the stress response. Stress directly regulates BoHV-1 gene expression through multiple pathways, including β-catenin dependent Wnt signaling, and the glucocorticoid receptor. Related type 1 nuclear hormone receptors, the androgen and progesterone receptors, also drive BoHV-1 gene expression and productive infection. These receptors form feed-forward transcription loops with the stress-induced Krüppel-like transcription factors KLF4 and KLF15. Understanding these molecular pathways is critical for developing novel therapeutics designed to block reactivation and reduce virus spread and disease.

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.

Abstract
Background Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a major problem affecting beef cattle after arrival to feedlots. Alternatives to antibiotics are needed for prevention. Hypothesis Stimulation of pulmonary innate immune responses at the time of arrival to a feedlot reduces the occurrence and severity of BRD. Animals Sixty beef steers at high risk of BRD. Methods Randomized, double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled study. Calves received saline or a lysate of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by aerosol, at 16 hours after feedlot arrival. Calves were monitored for 28 days for disease outcomes and levels of Mycoplasma bovis and Mannheimia haemolytica in nasal swabs. Results Death from M bovis pneumonia was significantly greater in lysate‐treated animals (6/29, 24%) compared to controls (1/29, 3%; odds ratio = 10.2; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1‐96.0; P = .04). By 28 days after arrival, 29/29 lysate‐treated calves had ultrasonographic pulmonary consolidation compared to 24/29 control calves (P = .05). Lysate‐treated calves had lower weight gain compared to control calves (−8.8 kg, 95% CI = −17.1 to −0.5; P = .04), and higher body temperatures on days 4, 7, and 21 (0.19°C; 95% CI = 0.01‐0.37; P = .04). Nasal M bovis numbers increased over time and were higher in lysate‐treated calves (0.76 log CFU, 95% CI = 0.3‐1.2; P = .001). Conclusions and Clinical Importance Aerosol administration of a bacterial lysate exacerbated BRD in healthy high‐risk beef calves, suggesting that respiratory tract inflammation adversely affects how calves respond to subsequent natural infection with M bovis and other respiratory pathogens.

Abstract
The etiology and pathologic findings of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in adult dairy cows (n = 35) from a commercial dairy herd in Southern Brazil were investigated. Pulmonary samples were examined for histopathologic patterns and specific features within these patterns, while immunohistochemical (IHC) assays were designed to detect the intralesional antigens of viral infectious disease agents and Mycoplasma bovis. Pneumonia was diagnosed in 91.4% (32/35) of these cases; neither pneumonia nor any of the infectious disease pathogens evaluated occurred in three cows. The presence of multiple respiratory pathogens in 75% (24/32) of these cases indicated the complex origin of pneumonia in cattle. Interstitial pneumonia, necrosuppurative bronchopneumonia and suppurative bronchopneumonia were the principal patterns of pulmonary disease identified by histopathology. The most frequent pathogens identified by IHC were bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV; n = 18), M. bovis (n = 16) and bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1; n = 14), followed by bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV; n = 11) and bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV-3; n = 5). Obliterative bronchiolitis and peribronchial lymphocytic cuffings were the characteristic histopathologic features associated with M. bovis. Necrohemorrhagic bronchitis with bronchial angiogenesis was associated with BoHV-1. Necrotizing bronchitis and bronchiolitis were associated with BVDV, BoHV-1 and BRSV. Ballooning degeneration of the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelia was associated with BRSV and BoHV-1. This is the first report from Brazil that correlated the histopathologic findings of BRD with the associated infectious disease agents by immunohistochemistry. M. bovis was frequently detected in the tissues of cows with fatal pulmonary disease during this study and may be a possible primary disease pathogen associated with the development of BRD in dairy cows. Additionally, the histopathologic features identified within patterns of pulmonary disease during this investigation may be an efficient diagnostic tool to associate histopathologic findings with specific agents of BRD in dairy cows.

Pathogenic Mannheimia haemolytica Invades Differentiated Bovine Airway Epithelial Cells. Infect Immun 2019; 87:IAI.00078-19.

Abstract
The Gram-negative bacterium Mannheimia haemolytica is the primary bacterial species associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and is responsible for significant economic losses to livestock industries worldwide. Healthy cattle are frequently colonized by commensal serotype A2 strains, but disease is usually caused by pathogenic strains of serotype A1. For reasons that are poorly understood, a transition occurs within the respiratory tract and a sudden explosive proliferation of serotype A1 bacteria leads to the onset of pneumonic disease. Very little is known about the interactions of M. haemolytica with airway epithelial cells of the respiratory mucosa which might explain the different abilities of serotype A1 and A2 strains to cause disease. In the present study, host-pathogen interactions in the bovine respiratory tract were mimicked using a novel differentiated bovine bronchial epithelial cell (BBEC) infection model. In this model, differentiated BBECs were inoculated with serotype A1 or A2 strains of M. haemolytica and the course of infection followed over a 5-day period by microscopic assessment and measurement of key proinflammatory mediators. We have demonstrated that serotype A1, but not A2, M. haemolytica invades differentiated BBECs by transcytosis and subsequently undergoes rapid intracellular replication before spreading to adjacent cells and causing extensive cellular damage. Our findings suggest that the explosive proliferation of serotype A1 M. haemolytica that occurs within the bovine respiratory tract prior to the onset of pneumonic disease is potentially due to bacterial invasion of, and rapid proliferation within, the mucosal epithelium. The discovery of this previously unrecognized mechanism of pathogenesis is important because it will allow the serotype A1-specific virulence determinants responsible for invasion to be identified and thereby provide opportunities for the development of new strategies for combatting BRD aimed at preventing early colonization and infection of the bovine respiratory tract.

Abstract
Infection of cattle by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) can culminate in upper respiratory tract disorders, conjunctivitis, or genital disorders. Infection also consistently leads to transient immune-suppression. BoHV-1 is the number one infectious agent in cattle that is associated with abortions in cattle. BoHV-1, as other α-herpesvirinae subfamily members, establishes latency in sensory neurons. Stressful stimuli, mimicked by the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone, consistently induce reactivation from latency in latently infected calves and rabbits. Increased corticosteroid levels due to stress have a two-pronged effect on reactivation from latency by: (1) directly stimulating viral gene expression and replication, and (2) impairing antiviral immune responses, thus enhancing virus spread and transmission. BoHV-1 encodes several proteins, bICP0, bICP27, gG, UL49.5, and VP8, which interfere with key antiviral innate immune responses in the absence of other viral genes. Furthermore, the ability of BoHV-1 to infect lymphocytes and induce apoptosis, in particular CD4+ T cells, has negative impacts on immune responses during acute infection. BoHV-1 induced immune-suppression can initiate the poly-microbial disorder known as bovine respiratory disease complex, which costs the US cattle industry more than one billion dollars annually. Furthermore, interfering with antiviral responses may promote viral spread to ovaries and the developing fetus, thus enhancing reproductive issues associated with BoHV-1 infection of cows or pregnant cows. The focus of this review is to describe the known mechanisms, direct and indirect, by which BoHV-1 interferes with antiviral immune responses during the course of infection.

Abstract
Histophilus somni is a Gram negative coccobacillus that causes respiratory, reproductive and central nervous system disease in cattle. The hallmark of H. somni infection is diffuse vasculitis and intravascular thrombosis that can lead to an acute central nervous system disease known as thrombotic meningoencephalitis (TME). Because neutrophils are major players in the pathophysiology of septic meningitis, we sought to determine their role in H. somni-induced fibrin clot formation in vitro. Bovine brain endothelial cells (TBBE cells) were exposed to H. somni cells at a 1:25 ratio, respectively. Conditioned media (CM) were collected after a 6 h incubation at 37 °C with 5% CO2, and then incubated with bovine peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Following incubation, fibrin clot formation and tissue factor activity were assessed by a re-calcified plasma clotting assay. We found greater tissue factor activity in cell lysates and CM from H. somni-stimulated TBBE cells than unstimulated control TBBE cells. In addition, PMNs exposed to CM or extracellular vesicles from H. somni-stimulated TBBE cells expressed von Willenbrand factor, exhibited increased fibrin clot formation, and displayed greater tissue factor activity than PMNs exposed to CM or extracellular vesicles from unstimulated control TBBE cells. These results suggest that bovine PMNs might acquire extracellular vesicles from endothelial cells that leads to thrombus formation in bovine brain microvasculature and contribute to the process that characterizes TME.

Abstract
Following productive infection, bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) establishes latency in sensory neurons. As in other alphaherpesviruses, expression of BoHV-1 immediate early (IE) genes is regulated by an enhancer complex containing the viral IE activator VP16, the cellular transcription factor Oct-1, and transcriptional coactivator HCF-1, which is assembled on an IE enhancer core element (TAATGARAT). Expression of the IE transcription unit that encodes the viral IE activators bICP0 and bICP4 may also be induced by the activated glucocorticoid receptor (GR) via two glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) located upstream of the enhancer core. Strikingly, lytic infection and reactivation from latency are consistently enhanced by glucocorticoid treatment in vivo As the coactivator HCF-1 is essential for IE gene expression of alphaherpesviruses and recruited by multiple transcription factors, we tested whether HCF-1 is required for glucocorticoid-induced IE gene expression. Depletion of HCF-1 reduced GR-mediated activation of the IE promoter in mouse neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2A). More importantly, HCF-1-mediated GR activation of the promoter was dependent on the presence of GRE sites but independent of the TAATGARAT enhancer core element. HCF-1 was also recruited to the GRE region of a promoter lacking the enhancer core, consistent with a direct role of the coactivator in mediating GR-induced transcription. Similarly, during productive lytic infection, HCF-1 and GR occupied the IE region containing the GREs. These studies indicate HCF-1 is critical for GR activation of the viral IE genes and suggests that glucocorticoid induction of viral reactivation proceeds via an HCF-1-GR mechanism in the absence of the viral IE activator VP16.IMPORTANCE BoHV-1 transcription is rapidly activated during stress-induced reactivation from latency. The immediate early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1) promoter is regulated by the GR via two GREs. The IEtu1 promoter regulates expression of two viral transcriptional regulatory proteins, infected cell proteins 0 and 4 (bICP0 and bICP4), and thus must be stimulated during reactivation. This study demonstrates that activation of the IEtu1 promoter by the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone requires HCF-1. Interestingly, the GRE sites, but not the IE enhancer core element (TAATGARAT), were required for HCF-1-mediated GR promoter activation. The GR and HCF-1 were recruited to the IEtu1 promoter in transfected and infected cells. Collectively, these studies indicate that HCF-1 is critical for GR activation of the viral IE genes and suggest that an HCF-1-GR complex can stimulate the IEtu1 promoter in the absence of the viral IE activator VP16.

Abstract
Primary infection with bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) predisposes cattle to secondary infection with bacteria that cause bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC). However, the interaction between BRSV and bacteria is unclear. This in vitro study examined the adherence of Pasteurella multocida (PM) to BRSV-infected cells was assessed in colony forming unit assays, by flow cytometry analysis, and by indirect immunofluorescence analysis (IFA) of epithelial cells (A549, HEp-2, and MDBK). An in vitro model based on infection of BRSV-infected epithelial cells revealed that PM adherence to BRSV-infected cells was 2- to 8-fold higher than uninfected cells. This was confirmed by flow cytometry analysis and IFA. Epithelial cell expression of mRNA encoding cytokines and chemokines increased after exposure to PM, but increased further after co-infection with BRSV and PM. BRSV-mediated adherence of PM to epithelial cells may underlie the serious symptoms of BRDC.

Abstract
Bovine neutrophils have similarities to those of other species with respect to mechanisms of their activation and migration into tissue, modulation of immune responses and the balance between microbial killing and host tissue damage. However, bovine neutrophils have biochemical and functional differences from those of other species, which may yield insights about the comparative biology of neutrophils. Neutrophils play protective and harmful roles in the infectious diseases of cattle that occur at times of transition: respiratory disease in beef calves recently arrived to feedlots and mastitis and other diseases of postparturient dairy cows. An important research focus is the mechanisms by which risk factors for these diseases affect neutrophil function and thereby lead to disease and the prospect of genetic or pharmacologic improvement of disease resistance. Further, in keeping with the One Health paradigm, cattle can be considered a model for studying the role of neutrophils in naturally occurring diseases caused by host-adapted pathogens and are thus an intermediary between studies of mouse models and investigations of human disease. Finally, the study of bovine neutrophils is important for agriculture, to understand the pathogenesis of these production-limiting diseases and to develop novel methods of disease prevention that improve animal health and reduce the reliance on antimicrobial use.

Abstract
Cattle are subject to economically-important respiratory tract infections by various bacterial and viral pathogens and there is an urgent need for the development of more realistic in vitro models of the bovine respiratory tract to improve our knowledge of disease pathogenesis. In the present study, we have optimized the culture conditions in serum-free medium that allow bovine bronchial epithelial cells (BBECs) grown at an air-liquid interface to differentiate into a three-dimensional epithelium that is highly representative of the bovine airway. Epidermal growth factor was required to trigger both proliferation and differentiation of BBECs whilst retinoic acid was also essential for mucociliary differentiation. Triiodothyronine was demonstrated not to be important for the differentiation of BBECs. Oxygen concentration had a minimal effect although optimal ciliation was achieved when BBECs were cultured at 14% oxygen tension. Insert pore-density had a significant effect on the growth and differentiation of BBECs; a high-pore-density was required to trigger optimum differentiation. The established BBEC model will have wide-ranging applications for the study of bacterial and viral infections of the bovine respiratory tract; it will contribute to the development of improved vaccines and therapeutics and will reduce the use of cattle in in vivo experimentation.

Abstract
Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FeHV-1) is one of the etiological agents of feline respiratory disease. FeHV-1 is an epitheliotropic and cytopathic virus that mainly causes rhinitis and conjunctivitis, although pneumonia is also occasionally seen. In this study, the authors investigated the pathogenesis of FeHV-1-associated pneumonia, comparing natural cases with viral infection of tracheal ring and cell cultures in vitro, using histology, immunohistology, double immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy as investigative tools. The results confirm that FeHV-1 targets both respiratory epithelial cells and pneumocytes and indicate that FeHV-1 pneumonia is the consequence of continuous cell-to-cell viral spread from the upper airways via the trachea into the lungs. They provide strong evidence that FeHV-1–infected cells die primarily via apoptosis, following loss of cell-to-cell contact, rounding, and detachment. However, virus-induced lesions in vivo are dominated by marked neutrophil infiltration and extensive necrosis with less prominent apoptosis; in the airways, the tissue necrosis can extend into the submucosa. The necrosis appears to result from virus-induced neutrophil influx and release of proteolytic enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinase-9, from the neutrophils.

Abstract
Sensory neurons are a primary site for life-long latency of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). The synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone induces reactivation from latency and productive infection, in part because the BoHV-1 genome contains more than 100 glucocorticoid receptor (GR) responsive elements (GREs). Two GREs in the immediate early transcription unit 1 promoter are required for dexamethasone induction. Recent studies also demonstrated that the serum and glucocorticoid receptor protein kinase (SGK) family stimulated BoHV-1 replication. Consequently, we hypothesized that dexamethasone influences several aspects of productive infection. In this study, we demonstrated that dexamethasone increased expression of the immediate early protein bICP4, certain late transcripts, and UL23 (thymidine kinase) by four hours after infection. SGK1 expression and Akt phosphorylation were also stimulated during early stages of infection and dexamethasone treatment further increased this effect. These studies suggest that stress, as mimicked by dexamethasone treatment, has the potential to stimulate productive infection by multiple pathways.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is a significant bovine pathogen that establishes a life-long latent infection in sensory neurons. Previous attempts to develop immortalized bovine neuronal cells were unsuccessful. Consequently, our understanding of the BoHV-1 latency-reactivation cycle has relied on studying complex virus-host interactions in calves. In this study, we tested whether BoHV-1 can infect human (SH-SY5Y) or mouse (Neuro-2A) neuroblastoma cells. We provide new evidence that BoHV-1 efficiently infects SH-SY5Y cells and yields virus titers approximately 100 fold less than bovine kidney cells. Conversely, virus titers from productively infected Neuro-2A cells were approximately 10,000 fold less than bovine kidney cells. Using a β-Gal expressing virus (gC-Blue), we demonstrate that infection of Neuro-2A cells (actively dividing or differentiated) does not result in efficient virus spread, unlike bovine kidney or SH-SY5Y cells. Additional studies demonstrated that lytic cycle viral gene expression (bICP4 and gE) was readily detected in SH-SY5Y cells: conversely bICP4 was not readily detected in productively infected Neuro-2A cells. Finally, infection of SH-SY5Y and bovine kidney cells, but not Neuro-2A cells, led to rapid activation of the Akt protein kinase. These studies suggest that the Neuro-2A cell line may be a novel cell culture model to identify factors that regulate BoHV-1 productive infection in neuronal cells.

Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDc) is a multi-factorial disease, involving both viral and bacterial pathogens, that negatively impacts the cattle feedlot industry. A nitric oxide releasing solution (NORS) has been developed and shown to have potential in the prevention of BRDc. This study investigated the underlying immunological mechanisms through which the nitroslyating agent NORS provides protection against the development of BRDc in susceptible cattle. An in vitro BRDc experimental model was designed using bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) which were infected with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) and subsequently cultured with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) extracted from Mannheimia haemolytica bacteria. The cells were treated with NORS following viral infection to reflect the timing of administering the NORS treatment in feedlots during initial processing. An expression and protein analysis of key genes involved in the innate immune response was carried out. The BRDc model produced significant increases in gene expression (p<0.01) and protein release (p<0.05) of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF. Treatment with NORS reduced the protein levels of IL-1β (0.39-fold↓) (p<0.05) and TNF (0.48-fold↓) (p<0.01) in the BRDc experimental group when compared against the non-treatment BRDc controls. TLR4 expression, having been significantly reduced under the BRDc experimental conditions (0.33-fold↓) (p<0.05), increased significantly (0.76-fold↑) (p<0.05) following NORS treatment. This study provides evidence suggesting that NO may protect against the development of BRDc by limiting deleterious inflammation while simultaneously increasing TLR4 expression and enhancing the ability of the host to detect and respond to bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) causes respiratory infections and abortions in cattle, and is an important component of bovine respiratory disease complex, which causes a considerable economic loss worldwide. Several efforts have been made to produce safer and more effective vaccines. One of these vaccines is a glycoprotein E (gE)-deleted marker vaccine which is currently mandated for use in EU countries. In the present study, we have constructed a three-gene-mutated BoHV-1 vaccine virus (UL49.5 luminal domain residues 30-32 and cytoplasmic tail residues 80-96 deleted, gE cytoplasmic tail- and entire Us9-deleted) and compared its protective vaccine efficacy in calves after intranasal vaccination with that of a gE-deleted virus. Following vaccination, both the triple mutant and gE-deleted vaccine virus replicated well in the nasal epithelium of the calves. The vaccinated calves did not show any clinical signs. Four weeks post-vaccination, the animals were challenged intranasally with a virulent BoHV-1 wild-type virus. Based on clinical signs, both the gE-deleted and triple mutant group were protected equally against the virulent BoHV-1 challenge. However, based on the quantity and duration of nasal viral shedding, virus neutralizing antibody and cellular immune responses, the triple mutant virus vaccine induced a significantly better protective immune response than the gE-deleted virus vaccine. Notably, after the virulent BoHV-1 challenge, the triple mutant virus vaccinated group cleared the challenge virus three days earlier than the BoHV-1 gE-deleted virus vaccinated group.

Abstract
The respiratory system is well defended against inhaled bacteria by a dynamic system of interacting layers, including mucociliary clearance, host defense factors including antimicrobial peptides in the epithelial lining fluid, proinflammatory responses of the respiratory epithelium, resident alveolar macrophages, and recruited neutrophils and monocytes. Nevertheless, these manifold defenses are susceptible to failure as a result of stress, glucocorticoids, viral infections, abrupt exposure to cold air, and poor air quality. When some of these defenses fail, the lung can be colonized by bacterial pathogens that are equipped to evade the remaining defenses, resulting in the development of pneumonia. This review considers the mechanisms by which these predisposing factors compromise the defenses of the lung, with a focus on the development of bacterial pneumonia in cattle and supplemented with advances based on mouse models and the study of human disease. Deepening our understanding of how the respiratory defenses fail is expected to lead to interventions that restore these dynamic immune responses and prevent disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare pathological changes and viral antigen distribution in tissues of calves with and without preexisting subclinical bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection following challenge with bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1). ANIMALS 24 Friesian calves. PROCEDURES 12 calves were inoculated intranasally with noncytopathic BVDV-1a; 12 days later, 10 of these calves were challenged intranasally with BHV-1 subtype 1. Two calves were euthanized before and 1, 2, 4, 7, or 14 days after BHV-1 inoculation. Another 10 calves were inoculated intranasally with BHV-1 only and euthanized 1, 2, 4, 7, or 14 days later. Two calves were inoculated intranasally with virus-free tissue culture fluid and euthanized as negative controls. Pathological changes and viral antigen distribution in various tissue samples from calves with and without BVDV infection (all of which had been experimentally inoculated with BHV-1) were compared. RESULTS Following BHV-1 challenge, calves with preexisting subclinical BVDV infection had earlier development of more severe inflammatory processes and, consequently, more severe tissue lesions (limited to lymphoid tissues and respiratory and digestive tracts) and greater dissemination of BHV-1, compared with calves without preexisting BVDV infection. Moreover, coinfected calves had an intense lymphoid depletion in the Peyer patches of the ileum as well as the persistence of BVDV in target organs and the reappearance of digestive tract changes during disease progression. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In calves, preexisting infection with BVDV facilitated the establishment of BHV-1 infection, just as the presence of BHV-1 favors BVDV persistence, thereby synergistically potentiating effects of both viruses and increasing the severity of the resultant clinical signs.

Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often occurs when active respiratory virus infections (BHV-1, etc.) impair resistance to Mannheimia haemolytica infection in the lower respiratory tract. The interactions that occur when the respiratory epithelium encounters these viral and bacterial pathogens are poorly understood. We used Agilent bovine gene microarray chips containing 44,000 transcripts to elucidate bovine bronchial epithelial cell (BBEC) responses following in vitro exposure to BHV-1 alone, M. haemolytica alone, or both BHV-1 and M. haemolytica. Microarray analysis revealed differential regulation (>2-fold) of 978 transcripts by BHV-1 alone, 2040 transcripts by M. haemolytica alone, and 2189 genes by BHV-1 and M. haemolytica in combination. M. haemolytica treatment produced significantly greater inductions (>10-fold) of several inflammation associated genes, such as CXCL2, IL-6, IL-1α, e-selectin, and IL-8, than to BHV-1 alone. Functional analysis of the microarray data revealed a significant upregulation of genes involved in important biological processes such as inflammation (TNF-α, IL-8, Tlr-2, IL-1, CXCL2, CSF2), vascular functions (VEGF, EDN2) and leukocyte migration (ICAM1, IL-16) during a co-infection with BHV-1 and M. haemolytica compared to either pathogen alone. This study provides evidence to support that lung epithelial cells are a source of mediators that may promote inflammatory changes observed during bovine respiratory disease.

Abstract
Resistance to respiratory disease in cattle requires host defense mechanisms that protect against pathogens which have evolved sophisticated strategies to evade them, including an altered function of pulmonary macrophages (MΦs) or the induction of inflammatory responses that cause lung injury and sepsis. The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanisms responsible for vascular changes occurring in the lungs of calves infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and challenged later with bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), evaluating the role of MΦs in the development of pathological lesions in this organ. For this purpose, pulmonary lesions were compared between co-infected calves and healthy animals inoculated only with BHV-1 through immunohistochemical (MAC387, TNFα, IL-1α, iNOS, COX-2 and Factor-VIII) and ultrastructural studies. Both groups of calves presented important vascular alterations produced by fibrin microthrombi and platelet aggregations within the blood vessels. These findings were earlier and more severe in the co-infected group, indicating that the concomitance of BVDV and BHV-1 in the lungs disrupts the pulmonary homeostasis by facilitating the establishment of an inflammatory and procoagulant environment modulated by inflammatory mediators released by pulmonary MΦs. In this regard, the co-infected calves, in spite of presenting a greater number of IMΦs than single-infected group, show a significant decrease in iNOS expression coinciding with the presence of more coagulation lesions. Moreover, animals pre-inoculated with BVDV displayed an alteration in the response of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL-1), which play a key role in activating the immune response, as well as in the local cell-mediated response.

Abstract
AIMS To quantify the number of cells infected with Mannheimia haemolytica and expressing interleukin (IL)-1β, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and IL-8 using immunohistochemistry, and to measure the immunoreactivity of cytokines in pulmonary tissue extracts using ELISA, in the lung of lambs experimentally infected with M. haemolytica, and to compare the patterns of expression of cytokines in airways at different times post-infection (p.i.). METHODS Twenty 3-month-old lambs of both sexes were randomly assigned to two groups, viz infected (n=15), and uninfected controls (n=5). Each lamb in the infected group was inoculated with 1.5 x 10(9) cfu M. haemolytica in 5 mL sterile nutrient broth, control lambs were inoculated with 5 mL sterile nutrient broth and clinical signs were monitored. Infected and control animals were killed at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 15 days p.i. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were conducted to determine the number of immunolabelled cells in pneumonic lungs, and study the pattern of expression of IL-1β, TNFα and IL-8 in lung extracts using ELISA. RESULTS Lesions in bronchi and bronchioles ranged from epithelial desquamation to bronchiolitis obliterans and necrosis. The alveoli had areas of seroproteinaceous fluid, fibrin and bacterial aggregates that evolved to foci of pyogranulomatous inflammation with clustered inflammatory cells, referred to as 'oat cells'. M. haemolytica antigen was observed in the cytoplasm of inflammatory cells. Labelling of IL-1β, TNFα and IL-8 was observed in bronchial and bronchiolar epithelial cells, alveolar exudate, and in interstitial inflammatory infiltrate, with increased expression on 1 and 3 days p.i. for IL-1β and TNFα, and 1, 3, and 5 days p.i. for IL-8. In lung tissue extracts, peak concentrations of IL-1β (55 (SD 5) ng/mL), TNFα (92 (SD 6) pg/mL) and IL-8 (8 [SD 2] μg/mL) occurred at 3 days p.i. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggested that the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNFα and IL-8 may play an important role in enhancing the biological response to M. haemolytica, and contribute to the development of lesions in the lung in pulmonary pasteurellosis in sheep. Given that the expression of IL-8 in lung was much greater than that of IL-1β and TNFα, anti-cytokine agents directed at this mediator could be useful in the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Jones C, da Silva LF, Sinani D. Regulation of the latency-reactivation cycle by products encoded by the bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) latency-related gene. J Neurovirol 2011; 17:535-45. [PMID: 22139602 DOI: 10.1007/s13365-011-0060-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2011] [Revised: 11/02/2011] [Accepted: 11/06/2011] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Like other α-herpesvirinae subfamily members, the primary site for bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) latency is ganglionic sensory neurons. Periodically BHV-1 reactivates from latency, virus is shed, and consequently virus transmission occurs. Transcription from the latency-related (LR) gene is readily detected in neurons of trigeminal ganglia (TG) of calves or rabbits latently infected with BHV-1. Two micro-RNAs and a transcript encompassing a small open reading frame (ORF-E) located within the LR promoter can also be detected in TG of latently infected calves. A BHV-1 mutant that contains stop codons near the beginning of the first open reading frame (ORF2) within the major LR transcript (LR mutant virus) has been characterized. The LR mutant virus does not express ORF2, a reading frame that lacks an initiating ATG (reading frame B), and has reduced expression of ORF1 during productive infection. The LR mutant virus does not reactivate from latency following dexamethasone treatment suggesting that LR protein expression regulates the latency-reactivation cycle. Higher levels of apoptosis occur in TG neurons of calves infected with the LR mutant viruses when compared to wild-type BHV-1 indicating that the anti-apoptotic properties of the LR gene is necessary for the latency-reactivation cycle. ORF2 inhibits apoptosis and regulates certain viral promoters, in part, because it interacts with three cellular transcription factors (C/EBP-alpha, Notch1, and Notch3). Although ORF2 is important for the latency-reactivation cycle, we predict that other LR gene products play a supportive role during life-long latency in cattle.

Response of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in calves with subclinical bovine viral diarrhea challenged with bovine herpesvirus-1. Vet Immunol Immunopathol 2011; 144:135-43. [PMID: 21856021 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetimm.2011.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2011] [Revised: 07/19/2011] [Accepted: 07/27/2011] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the susceptibility of calves infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) against secondary infections. For this purpose, the profile of cytokines implicated in the immune response of calves experimentally infected with a non-cytopathic strain of BVDV type-1 and challenged with bovine herpesvirus 1.1 (BHV-1.1) was evaluated in comparison with healthy animals challenged only with BHV-1.1. The immune response was measured by serum concentrations of cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα, IFNγ, IL-12, IL-4 and IL-10), acute phase proteins (haptoglobin, serum amyloid A and fibrinogen) and BVDV and BHV-1.1 specific antibodies. BVDV-infected calves displayed a great secretion of TNFα and reduced production of IL-10 following BHV-1 infection, leading to an exacerbation of the inflammatory response and to the development of more intense clinical symptoms and lesions than those observed in healthy animals BHV-1-inoculated. A Th1 immune response, based on IFNγ production and on the absence of significant changes in IL-4 production, was observed in both groups of BHV-1-infected calves. However, whereas the animals inoculated only with BHV-1 presented an IFNγ response from the start of the study and high expression of IL-12, the BVDV-infected calves showed a delay in the IFNγ production and low levels of IL-12. This alteration in the kinetic and magnitude of these cytokines, involved in cytotoxic mechanisms responsible for limiting the spread of secondary pathogens, facilitated the dissemination of BHV-1.1 in BVDV-infected calves.

Abstract
BHV-1 is an important pathogen of cattle. Because of its ability to induce immune suppression, BHV-1 is an important agent in the multifactorial disorder, bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC). BHV-1 encodes several proteins that inhibit various arms of the immune system suggesting that these proteins are important in the development of BRDC.

Abstract
AbstractBovine respiratory disease (BRD) involves complex interactions amongst viral and bacterial pathogens that can lead to intense pulmonary inflammation (fibrinous pleuropneumonia). Viral infection greatly increases the susceptibility of cattle to secondary infection of the lung with bacterial pathogens likeMannheimia haemolyticaandHistophilus somni. The underlying reason for this viral/bacterial synergism, and the manner in which cattle respond to the virulence strategies of the bacterial pathogens, is incompletely understood. Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) infection of bronchial epithelial cellsin vitroenhances the binding ofM. haemolyticaand triggers release of inflammatory mediators that attract and enhance binding of neutrophils. An exotoxin (leukotoxin) released fromM. haemolyticafurther stimulates release of inflammatory mediators and causes leukocyte death. Cattle infected withH. somnifrequently display vasculitis. Exposure of bovine endothelial cells toH. somniior its lipooligosaccharide (LOS) increases endothelium permeability, and makes the surface of the endothelial cells pro-coagulant. These processes are amplified in the presence of platelets. The above findings demonstrate that bovine respiratory pathogens (BHV-1,M. haemolyticaandH. somni) interact with leukocytes and other cells (epithelial and endothelial cells) leading to the inflammation that characterizes BRD.
