[PMID: 38158465 DOI: 10.1007/s10528-023-10578-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Bovine mastitis is a complex infectious disease that develops in the mammary gland, predominantly caused by a bacterial infection of mammary tissue. Genetic variability of mastitis is well established and depends upon different quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to mastitis resistance or susceptibility. The susceptibility is often attributed to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the variable cow breed genomes. Several global investigative attempts have resulted in studies mapping mastitis to the variations in the relevant genes. Reports have been attributed to dramatic genetic expression changes in Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) genes in mastitis-positive cows. However, the mechanism behind this variable genetic expression of TLR4 genes has been studied poorly. The present study aims to investigate SCM through various screening tests like somatic cell count (SCC), electric conductivity (EC), pH, and California mastitis test (CMT) in milk samples. This study also aims to investigate possible mechanisms behind this variable expression of TLR4 by comparative SNP evaluation and transcriptional factor profile mining. So that the important genetic mutations and effects thereof can be exploited in selecting specific breeds with higher mastitis resistance and milk yield. Seventy Holstein Frisian (HF) crossbred dairy cows were selected in the present study. The animals were screened based on various diagnostic tests (SCC, pH, EC, and CMT). Blood samples (5 mL) were collected for extraction of DNA followed by amplification of PPR1 and PPR2 of the promoter region and 5'UTR of the bovine TLR4 gene using specific primers. Sanger's enzymatic DNA sequencing technique sequenced the amplified PCR products. Further, the identification of SNPs was done through various bioinformatic tools used in this study. The findings of the present study revealed that CMT, EC, pH, and SCC could be used for the early detection of subclinical mastitis. In the present study, a significant increase in the EC, pH, and SCC in milk samples of animals affected with SCM was found in comparison to the healthy animals. The present study also revealed 16 SNPs falling in TLR4 promoter and 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) sequences in mastitis-positive genotypes compared to reference genomes. The study also investigates the potential transcriptional factor program deployed in response to variable mastitis development resistance. In the present study, the allelic and genotype frequencies of all SNP variants in the three regions viz., PPR1, PPR2, and 5'UTR, were the same indicating the absence of heterozygous condition at the respective loci. The present study has wide applicability for researchers developing mastitis-resistant breeding programs and the data generated may aid in the selection of better genetic breeds. The transcription factor binding profiles can serve as concrete leads about the studies on bovine mastitis at the molecular level and may also aid global research groups working on transcription factor (TF)-based molecular pathology of mastitis.

Abstract
The current review identifies key bacterial zoonoses, the understanding of comparative immunology, evolutionary trade-offs between emerging bacterial pathogens and their dynamics on both arms of immunity. The several gaps in the literature limit our understanding of spread of prominent bacterial zoonotic diseases and the host-pathogen interactions that may change in response to environmental and social factors. Gaining a more comprehensive understanding of how anthropogenic activities affects the spread of emerging zoonotic diseases, is essential for predicting and mitigating future disease emergence through fine-tuning of surveillance and control measures with respect to different pathogens. This review highlights the urgent need to increase understanding of the comparative immunity of animal reservoirs, design of vaccines according to the homology in host-pathogen interactions, and the alternative strategies to counter the risk of bacterial pathogenic spillover to humans with eventual spread of zoonotic diseases.

Four novel polymorphisms in long non-coding RNA HOTTIP are associated with the risk and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Biosci Rep 2019; 39:BSR20180573. [PMID: 30940774 PMCID: PMC6504661 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20180573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2018] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 04/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP) as an oncogene in varieties of human cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC) has been extensively researched. The expression and function of lncRNAs could be affected by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are associated with cancer susceptibility and prognosis. However, no investigation has focused on the association between HOTTIP SNPs and CRC. The aim of the present study was to explore the association of polymorphisms in the lncRNA HOTTIP gene with CRC risk and prognosis. Methods: A total of 1848 subjects were enrolled in our study, including 884 CRC cases and 964 controls. Genotyping for five HOTTIP tagSNPs (rs3807598, rs17501292, rs2067087, rs17427960, and rs78248039) was performed by applying Kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP). Results: The results showed three SNPs (rs3807598, rs2067087, and rs17427960) were associated with enhanced CRC risk both in overall and stratified analysis. One polymorphism, rs17501292, could improve the overall survival (OS) of CRC patients in the tumor of ulcerative/invasive-type subgroup. Conclusion: These findings suggest HOTTIP SNPs could potentially be predictive biomarkers for CRC risk and prognosis. The present study provides clues for further exploration of novel lncRNA-based genetic biomarkers to predict CRC susceptibility as well as clinical outcome.
