Abstract
Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of inflammation requires robust animal models. Sheep are commonly used in immune-related studies, yet the validity of sheep as animal models for immune and inflammatory diseases remains to be established. This cross-species comparative study analyzed the in vitro inflammatory response of ovine (oPBMCs) and human PBMCs (hPBMCs) using mass spectrometry, profiling the proteome of the secretome and whole cell lysate. Of the entire cell lysate proteome (oPBMCs: 4217, hPBMCs: 4574 proteins) 47.8% and in the secretome proteome (oPBMCs: 1913, hPBMCs: 1375 proteins) 32.8% were orthologous between species, among them 32 orthologous CD antigens, indicating the presence of six immune cell subsets. Following inflammatory stimulation, 71 proteins in oPBMCs and 176 in hPBMCs showed differential abundance, with only 7 overlapping. Network and Gene Ontology analyses identified 16 shared inflammatory-related terms and 17 canonical pathways with similar activation/inhibition patterns in both species, demonstrating significant conservation in specific immune and inflammatory responses. However, ovine PMBCs also contained a unique WC1+γδ T-cell subset, not detected in hPBMCs. Furthermore, differences in the activation/inhibition trends of seven canonical pathways and the sets of DAPs between sheep and humans, emphasize the need to consider interspecies differences in translational studies and inflammation research.

Early response of monocyte-derived macrophages from vaccinated and non-vaccinated goats against in vitro infection with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Vet Res 2021; 52:69. [PMID: 33980310 PMCID: PMC8117269 DOI: 10.1186/s13567-021-00940-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Paratuberculosis is a disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map). Vaccination is the most cost-effective control method. However, despite the fact that macrophages are the main target cells for this pathogen, the precise mechanisms behind the response of the macrophage to Map infection and how it is modified by vaccination are yet poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Silirum® vaccination in the early immune response of caprine monocyte-derived macrophages (CaMØs). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from vaccinated and non-vaccinated goats, cultured in vitro until differentiation to macrophages and infected with Map. After a 24 h incubation, Map viability and DNA were assessed in culture by viable colony count and real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In addition, Map phagocytosis and expression of IL-10, IL-12, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-1β, iNOS, IL-6 and MIP-1β were also evaluated through immunofluorescence labelling and reverse transcriptase qPCR (RT-qPCR), respectively. A significant reduction of Map viability was observed in both supernatants (P < 0.05) and CaMØs (P < 0.001) from the vaccinated group. Similarly, the percentage of infected CaMØs and the number of internalized Map by CaMØs (P < 0.0001) was higher in the vaccinated group. Finally, iNOS (P < 0.01) and IL-10 were significantly up-regulated in CaMØs from vaccinated goats, whereas only MIP-1β was up-regulated in non-vaccinated animals (P < 0.05). These results show that vaccination modifies the immune response of CaMØs, suggesting that the phagocytosis and microbiocidal activity of macrophages against Map is enhanced after vaccination.

Optimized in vitro isolation of different subpopulation of immune cells from peripheral blood and comparative techniques for generation of monocyte-derived macrophages in small ruminants. Vet Immunol Immunopathol 2020; 230:110131. [PMID: 33129192 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetimm.2020.110131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Peripheral blood from healthy sheep (n = 3) and goats (n = 3) were employed to establish an efficient method for simultaneous isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and neutrophils and to standardize protocols for monocyte purification and generation of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). In both species, a significantly enriched population of PBMCs, with higher purity and number of cells determined by flow cytometry, was achieved when processing through a density gradient a mixture of buffy-coat and red blood cell layer (RBC) in comparison to the use of just the buffy-coat (p < 0.05). Neutrophils could be subsequently isolated from the layer, located underneath PBMCs fraction with significant higher purity rates, higher than 85 % determined by flow cytometry, than those obtained with protocols without density gradients (< 60 %) (p < 0.05). This technique would allow the isolation of both cell populations from the same sample of blood. A pure cell population of monocytes, CD14+ cells, was purified from PBMCs when using immunomagnetic columns, which allow for 17 % (nº monocytes/nº PBMCs) of yield and high percentages of expression of CD14+ (88 %), MHC-II+ (91.5 %) and CD11b+ (94 %) established by flow cytometry. On the other hand, the classical and non-expensive purification of monocytes from PBMCs based on the adherence capacity of the former, allowed significantly lower yield of monocytes (4.6 %), with percentages of surface markers expression that dropped to 35 %, 65 % and 55 %, respectively (p < 0.001), suggesting the isolation of a mixed population of cells. The addition of GM-CSF to the culture, at concentration from 25 to 125 ng/mL, enhanced proportionally the number of MDMs generated compared to the absence of supplementation or the use of autologous serum from 5% to 20 %. However, purification of monocytes through the adherence method achieved higher yields of MDMs than those isolated through immunomagnetic columns in both species (p < 0.001). Under the conditions of this study, the use of centrifugation in density gradients allow for the simultaneous purification of PBMCs and neutrophils, with high purity of both populations, from the same sample of blood. The isolation of monocytes could be subsequently achieved through two different methods, i.e. based on immunomagnetic columns or adherence. The preference between both methods would depend on the necessities of the experiment, the initial sample with high purity of monocytes or a final population of MDMs required.
