Abstract
Dairy cow laminitis leads to massive financial losses and animal health issues in the worldwide dairy sector. Apoptosis may be an important factor in the epidermal attachment failure. This study explored the laminar tissue apoptotic-related gene and protein status with oligofructose (OF)-induced laminitis in dairy cows. Twelve clinically healthy, non-pregnant Chinese Holstein cows were randomly divided into two groups of six cows each: the control group and the oligofructose overload group (OF group), respectively. At 0 h, 17 g/kg BW of OF dissolved in 20 mL/kg BW of warm deionized water was gavaged to the OF dairy cows through a stomach tube, while the control cows were given the same dose of deionized water in the same way. After 72 h, laminar tissue samples in both groups were collected to express genes and proteins. Compared with the control cows, the gene expression of Bcl2 significantly reduced in the OF cows laminar tissue. The gene expression of Bax and P53 significantly enhanced in the laminar tissue of OF cows compared to the control cows. The expression of Bcl2 protein significantly decreased, whereas the expression of Bax and Bif1, caspase3, caspase8, and caspase9/9p proteins significantly increased in the OF cows' laminar tissues than in the control cows. However, the distribution of Bax and P53 proteins significantly enhanced in the OF cows' laminar tissues relative to the control cows. In conclusion, imbalanced gene and protein status may represent the primary cause of the epidermal attachment failure, which confirmed the increased apoptosis in laminar tissue of sick cows.
期刊介绍:
The journal reports basic, comparative and clinical immunology as they pertain to the animal species designated here: livestock, poultry, and fish species that are major food animals and companion animals such as cats, dogs, horses and camels, and wildlife species that act as reservoirs for food, companion or human infectious diseases, or as models for human disease.
Rodent models of infectious diseases that are of importance in the animal species indicated above,when the disease requires a level of containment that is not readily available for larger animal experimentation (ABSL3), will be considered. Papers on rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, badgers, armadillos, elephants, antelope, and buffalo will be reviewed if the research advances our fundamental understanding of immunology, or if they act as a reservoir of infectious disease for the primary animal species designated above, or for humans. Manuscripts employing other species will be reviewed if justified as fitting into the categories above.
The following topics are appropriate: biology of cells and mechanisms of the immune system, immunochemistry, immunodeficiencies, immunodiagnosis, immunogenetics, immunopathology, immunology of infectious disease and tumors, immunoprophylaxis including vaccine development and delivery, immunological aspects of pregnancy including passive immunity, autoimmuity, neuroimmunology, and transplanatation immunology. Manuscripts that describe new genes and development of tools such as monoclonal antibodies are also of interest when part of a larger biological study. Studies employing extracts or constituents (plant extracts, feed additives or microbiome) must be sufficiently defined to be reproduced in other laboratories and also provide evidence for possible mechanisms and not simply show an effect on the immune system.
