Abstract
'Surra', an economically important disease of livestock, is caused by the parasitic blood protozoon Trypanosoma evansi. Both innate and adaptive immunity contribute to the protection against this infection. T-helper cells play a crucial role in the antibody-mediated clearance of T. evansi. We present here the data on the kinetics of expression of important Th1, Th2 and Th17 cytokines, vis-a-vis the dynamics of humoral response in bovine calves following immunization with γ-radiation-attenuated live T. evansi and later challenged with homologous virulent T. evansi. Significant upregulation of the pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 cytokines was correlated with the IgG2-mediated protection in the immunized bovine calves post-challenge. The calves were immunized with 5 × 106 500 Gy γ-radiation-attenuated live T. evansi (horse isolate) thrice at 15 days intervals through the subcutaneous route and subsequently, challenged with 1 × 103 virulent T. evansi on day 50. Significantly high serum IgG (1:1600) and IgM (1:800) titres were recorded on week 2 PC, whereas the peak serum IgG2 titre (1:800) was recorded on week 6 PC. Significant upregulation of IFN-γ, TNF, IL-1β, and IL-2 was recorded between days 1 to 3 PC, while the same for IL-17 was recorded on day 14 PC. The immunized calves were free from parasitemia post-challenge and were clinically healthy till the end of the experiment. Significant upregulation of IL-10 and IL-4 transcripts and a corresponding increase of serum IgG1 titre in the placebo group helped patency of the parasite in an anti-inflammatory environment and clinical exacerbation of the disease. The expression of the important Th1 cytokines was crucial for antibody-mediated short-term protection against a lethal challenge of T. evansi in cattle.

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2021; 63:1376-1385. [PMID: 34957451 PMCID: PMC8672249 DOI: 10.5187/jast.2021.e103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease, one of the most contagious diseases in cloven-hoofed
animals, causes significant economic losses. The pathogenesis of foot-and-mouth
disease virus (FMDV) infection is known to differ with age of the animals. In
this study, we aimed to reveal the difference in immunological response in the
initial stage of FMDV infection between piglets and adult pigs. Peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 3 piglets (8 weeks old) and 3 pigs
(35 weeks old) that were not vaccinated against FMDV. O-type FMDV (2 ×
102 median tissue culture infectious dose) was inoculated into
porcine PBMCs and the cells were incubated at 37.0°C under 5%
CO2 for various time periods (0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h). The
total RNA was obtained from the FMDV-inoculated PBMCs after each time point, and
the virus titer was investigated in these RNA samples. Furthermore, dynamics of
mRNA expression of the six tested cytokines (interferon [IFN]-α,
IFN-γ, interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor
[TNF]-α) in FMDV-inoculated porcine PBMCs were evaluated by time-series
analysis to determine the differences, if any, based on the age of the pigs. The
PBMCs of piglets contained the highest quantity of FMDV mRNA at 6 hours
post-inoculation (hpi), and the PBMCs of pigs had the highest quantity of FMDV
mRNA at 3 hpi. The mean cycle threshold-value in the PBMCs steadily decreased
after the peak time point in the piglets and pigs (6 and 3 hpi, respectively).
The dynamics of mRNA expression of all cytokines except TNF-α showed
age-dependent differences in FMDV-inoculated PBMCs. The mRNA expression of most
cytokines was more pronounced in the piglets than in the pigs, implying that the
immune response against FMDV showed an age-dependent difference in pigs. In
conclusion, within 48 hpi, the 8-week-old piglets responded more rapidly and
were more sensitive to FMDV infection than the 35-week-old pigs, which could be
associated with the difference in the pathogenesis of FMDV infection among the
pigs. These results provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the
age-dependent differences in immune response in pigs against FMDV infection.

TLR-Mediated Cytokine Gene Expression in Chicken Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells as a Measure to Characterize Immunobiotics. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12020195. [PMID: 33572768 PMCID: PMC7912573 DOI: 10.3390/genes12020195] [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: 12/17/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Immunobiotics are probiotics that promote intestinal health by modulating immune responses. Immunobiotics are recognized by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and activate cytokine gene expression. This study aimed to characterize cytokine gene expression in the chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with purified TLR ligands and live probiotics. PBMC were isolated from the whole blood. PBMC were stimulated with: lipopolysaccharide (LPS), CpG ODN, Pam3CSK4, Zymosan, galactooligosaccharides (GOS), Lactococcuslactis subsp. cremoris (L. lactis), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 42.5 °C and 5% CO2 for 3 h, 6 h, and 9 h. After each time-point, PBMC were harvested for RNA isolation. Relative gene expression was analyzed with RT-qPCR for cytokine genes (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p40, and IFN-ɣ) and reference genes (ACTB and G6PDH). Genes were clustered into pro-inflammatory genes, Th1/Th2 genes, and Th1-regulators. The gene expression differed between treatments in IL1-β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-12p40 (p < 0.001). The genes IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 had the highest fold change of mRNA expression at 3 h in response to TLR ligands. L. lactis up-regulated the pro-inflammatory genes at the 6 h time-point. L. lactis did not activate the anti-inflammatory IL-10 gene, but activated IL-12p40 at 6 h. Hereby, L. lactis was proven to exert immunostimulatory properties in PBMC.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2)-associated diseases affect the swine industry worldwide. Vaccination is the major tool for the disease control, but the vaccine production is hindered by lower propagation rate of PCV2 in vitro. Previous studies showed that interferons (IFNs) can increase PCV2 yield in PK-15 cells. In the present study, we constructed a Sleepy Beauty (SB) transposon vector expressing porcine IFNg gene fused with the coding sequence for immunoglobulin G Fc domain. After dilution cloning, the transposon and transposase vectors were co-transfected into PK-15 cell clones with higher permissivity to PCV2 infection. Two transgenic PK-15 cell lines, namely PK15-IFNgRan and PK15-IFNgSB which contained randomly integrated transfer vector or SB cassette without selection marker, were screened by PCR analysis. The characterization results demonstrated that the two transgenic cell lines can stably express IFNg-Fc fusion protein with potent antiviral activities. Both viral titration and quantitative PCR analyses showed that the two transgenic cell lines are highly permissive to PCV2 infection with significantly increased viral yields. These results indicate that the two transgenic PK-15 cell lines, PK15-IFNgSB in particular, can be used for PCV2 vaccine development.
