Inhibition of mTOR in bovine monocyte derived macrophages and dendritic cells provides a potential mechanism for postpartum immune dysfunction in dairy cows. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15084. [PMID: 36064574 PMCID: PMC9445052 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-19295-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Dairy cattle experience a profound nutrient deficit postpartum that is associated with immune dysfunction characterized by heightened inflammation and reduced pathogen clearance. The activation of the central nutrient-sensing mTOR pathway is comparatively reduced in leukocytes of early postpartum dairy cows during this time of most pronounced nutrient deficit. We assessed the effect of pharmacological mTOR inhibition (Torin-1, rapamycin) on differentiation of monocyte derived classically (M1) and alternatively (M2) activated macrophages (MPh) and dendritic cells (moDC) from 12 adult dairy cows. Treatment with mTOR inhibitors generated M1 MPh with increased oxidative burst and expression of IL12 subunits but decreased phagocytosis and expression of IL1B, IL6, and IL10. In M2 MPh, treatment inhibited expression of regulatory features (CD163, ARG2, IL10) skewing the cells toward an M1-like phenotype. In moDC, mTOR inhibition increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL12A, IL12B, IL1B, IL6) and surface CD80. In co-culture with mixed lymphocytes, mTOR-inhibited moDC exhibited a cytokine profile favoring a Th1 response with increased TNF and IFNG production and decreased IL10 concentrations. We conclude that mTOR inhibition in vitro promoted differentiation of inflammatory macrophages with reduced regulatory features and generation of Th1-favoring dendritic cells. These mechanisms could contribute to immune dysregulation in postpartum dairy cows.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have long demonstrated the association of nutrient status and immune dysfunction in dairy cows. Postpartum dairy cows experiencing a nutrient deficit show a propensity for increased inflammatory response, decreased pathogen clearance, and increased incidence of infectious disease. Studies in cows and other species show that the nutrient sensing mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway could be one potential causal pathway connecting the deficit in nutrient availability and the heightened inflammatory response. Our objective was to investigate the effects of pharmacological mTOR pathway inhibition on phenotype and cytokine expression of bovine monocyte derived dendritic cells (moDC). We differentiated CD14+ monocytes from dairy cows (n = 14) into moDC in the presence or absence of first- or second-generation mTOR inhibitor rapamycin and PP242 (both 100 nM), respectively. On day seven cells were matured with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng/mL) or left unstimulated to represent naïve moDC. Surface expression of CD14, CD40, CD80, and MHCII was measured via flow cytometry. We measured mRNA expression of IL10, IL12A, IL12B, and TNFα by rt-qPCR, and protein concentrations of IL-10 and TFN-α in cell culture supernatants with a bead-based multiplex assay. Cultures from ten cows successfully developed the moDC phenotype in culture without inhibitors, defined as increased surface expression of CD40, CD80, and MHCII compared with naïve moDC. Only data from these cows were considered for the results on effects of mTOR inhibitors. In naïve and mature moDC mTOR inhibition increased MHCII expression compared to controls. In mature moDC, in addition to MHCII, CD80 expression was increased compared with untreated LPS-stimulated controls. Expression of IL12A mRNA was upregulated in mature, mTOR inhibited moDC compared with untreated controls. In cell culture supernatants mTOR inhibition reduced IL-10 and increased TNF-α concentrations in naïve and mature moDCs compared with untreated controls. Overall rapamycin had a more consistent effect on altering phenotype and cytokine expression of moDC than PP242. In summary we observed an increased expression of co-stimulatory molecules and antigen presentation potential in mature moDC differentiated under mTOR inhibition, and a cytokine pattern that would potentially favor a Th1 type response. This study provides novel data indicating a role for mTOR signaling in bovine moDC phenotype and mediator profile. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the role of the mTOR pathway in shaping the bovine immune response and may help to provide mechanistic insight and opportunities for modulation of the immune response during the nutrient deficit of early lactation.

Abstract
Although extensive research has been performed on bovine non-aureus staphylococci (NAS), several aspects such as bacteria-host interaction remain largely unstudied. Moreover, only a few mastitis pathogen challenge studies in cows have been conducted in the dry period, an important period that allows intramammary infection (IMI) to cure and new IMI to occur. We challenged 16 quarters of 4 Holstein Friesian cows at dry off with 100; 100 000 or 10 000 000 CFU of the udder-adapted S. chromogenes IM strain. Four quarters from one cow served as negative controls. Internally sealed quarters remained untouched, whereas non-sealed quarters were sampled 3 times during the dry period. After parturition, colostrum and daily milk samples were taken during the first week of lactation of all quarters. In total, 8 quarters appeared to be colonized, since S. chromogenes IM was recovered at least once during the experiment, as substantiated using Multilocus Sequence Typing. S. chromogenes IM shedding was highest in dry quarters inoculated with 10 000 000 CFU. Colonized quarters had the highest quarter somatic cell count (qSCC) in early lactation. Inoculated quarters (both colonized and non-colonized) had lower IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations in the dry period, whilst IFN-γ levels tended to be higher in colonized quarters compared to non-inoculated quarters. Also, IgG2 levels were higher in inoculated compared to non-inoculated quarters and the IgG2/IgG1 ratio was on average above 1. To conclude, we showed that dry quarters can be colonized with S. chromogenes IM, resulting in a shift towards a Th1 response in late gestation and early lactation characterised by an increased IgG2 concentration. However, further research is needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen presenting cells specializing in antigen uptake and processing, and play an important role in the innate and adaptive immune response. A subset of bovine peripheral blood DCs was identified as CD172a+/CD11c+/MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class II+ cells. Although DCs are identified at 0.1%–0.7% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), the phenotype and function of DCs remain poorly understood with regard to maintaining tolerance during the pregnancy. All cattle used in this study were 1 month before parturition. We have established a novel method for the purification of DCs from PBMC using magnetic‐activated cell sorting, and purified the CD172a+/CD11c+DCs, with high expression of MHC class II and CD40, at 84.8% purity. There were individual differences in the expressions of CD205 and co‐stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 on DCs. There were positive correlations between expression of cytokine and co‐stimulatory molecules in DCs, and the DCs maintained their immune tolerance, evidenced by their low expressions of the co‐stimulatory molecules and cytokine production. These results suggest that before parturition a half of DCs may be immature and tend to maintain tolerance based on the low cytokine production, and the other DCs with high co‐stimulatory molecules may already have the ability of modulating the T‐cell linage.

Abstract
The maternal immune system is complex and governed by multiple hormonal and metabolic factors, including those provided to the mother via the fetus. Understanding of the balance between maternal tolerance and protection of the fetus may require thinking from multiple theoretical approaches to the general problem of immune activation and tolerance. This article provides a brief review of the immune system, with aspects relevant to pregnancy. The references include reviews that expand on the elements discussed. The article also uses different models of immune system activation and tolerance to provide a theoretical understanding of the problem of maternal tolerance.

Impact of in vitro treatments of physiological levels of estradiol and progesterone observed in pregnancy on bovine monocyte-derived dendritic cell differentiation and maturation.

Abstract
The specific factors which regulate differentiation and maturation of dendritic cells in bovine pregnancy remain unclear. We evaluated the influence of physiologically relevant in vitro treatments of progesterone (PG) and estradiol (E2) observed in late pregnancy on the differentiation and maturation of CD14+ monocyte-derived dendritic cell (moDC) from non-pregnant, lactating dairy cows (n=7). We found that moDC differentiated in the presence of both E2 and PG had impaired E. coli-induced phenotypic maturation, specifically a significant reduction in CD80 and MHC II expression. Contrary to our previous work characterizing moDC from late gestating dairy cattle, we did not observe an increase in CD14 expression relative to the untreated control; this increase was only observed in the current data in the dexamethasone-treated moDC. The moDC treated with a combination of both E2 and PG had significantly greater upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 relative to the untreated control, but TNFα production was not suppressed; only dexamethasone-treated moDC showed abrogated TNFα production. These data suggest moDC may be regulated by E2 and PG to hinder phenotypic maturation and regulate inflammatory responses. Pregnancy-associated hormone profiles appear to be involved in the generation of maternal immune tolerance in pregnancy. These hormone-facilitated changes to moDC in pregnancy may also impede optimal immune responses to both invading pathogens and routine vaccinations administered in late gestation through limited antigen presentation and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine production. These results provide insight into maternal immune modulation and elucidate potential immune changes necessary to facilitate bovine pregnancy.

Intramammary immunization with ultraviolet-killed Escherichia coli shows partial protection against late gestation intramammary challenge with a homologous strain. J Dairy Sci 2016; 99:9014-9026.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intramammary immunization with UV-killed Escherichia coli ECC-Z on prevention of intramammary colonization after a challenge with a dose of the homologous E. coli ECC-Z live bacteria. A total of 10 cows were included in a study to evaluate the efficacy of intramammary immunization. All 10 cows received an intramammary immunization of 100 cfu of UV-killed E. coli ECC-Z bacteria into one hind quarter at the time of dry off. Approximately 2wk before the anticipated calving date, both hind quarters of all cows were challenged with 100 cfu of live E. coli ECC-Z bacteria. Five of the cows were vaccinated parenterally with a commercial J5 bacterin, and 5 cows served as controls with no parenteral vaccination. The cows were then followed over time and infection risk, clinical scores, somatic cell count, and milk production were observed over time. The results of these 10 cows showed partial protection of intramammary immunization on the outcome of a subsequent homologous intramammary challenge. Immunization resulted in a lower probability of infection, a lower bacteria count, lower somatic cell counts and milk conductivity, a lower clinical mastitis score, and increased milk production compared with unimmunized control quarters. Once the analysis was corrected for immunization, parenteral J5 vaccination had no significant effect on any of the measured parameters. These results provide the first evidence that intramammary immunization may improve the outcome of an intramammary E. coli infection in late gestation and onset of mastitis immediately following parturition. Unlike systemic vaccination, which generally does not reduce the intramammary infection risk, the intramammary immunization did show a 5-times reduced odds of an established intramammary infection after challenge. Cytokine profiles indicated a local return of proinflammatory response after challenge as the data showed a more pronounced increase in in IFN-γ with a subsequent negative feedback due to a spike in the level of IL-10 in immunized quarters relative to nonimmunized quarters. Although these results are preliminary and obtained on only 10 cows, the results provide insight into the biological benefits of triggering mucosal immunity in the mammary gland.
