Although the precise virulence mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated, cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is considered as one of the well-characterized virulence factors in Campylobacter. In silico analysis of the genome of C. fetus type strain of ATCC27374<sup>T</sup> indicates that there are three cdt gene clusters, Cfcdt-I, Cfcdt-II and Cfcdt-III. However, it is not clear whether these clusters are ubiquitously present in C. fetus and their association with diseases in humans and animals. In this study, we have analyzed the distribution and nucleotide sequences of these cdt gene clusters in 137 C. fetus strains isolated from human patients and healthy cattle. MLST and PFGE were also applied to determine clonal relationship between C. fetus strains isolated from patients and cattle. We found all C. fetus strains carry three Cfcdt gene clusters by colony hybridization assay and the strains belonged to 38 different pulsotypes. Whole genome sequencing of 38 C. fetus strains was carried out to determine the entire cdt gene cluster sequences and their sequence type (ST). Among 38 strains, six STs were identified, and each cdt gene cluster showed high similarity (>99%). Interestingly, some of these Cfcdt genes are more similar to the cdt genes of other Campylobacter species than other Cfcdt gene types. Altogether, the results suggest that three Cfcdt gene clusters are highly conserved in C. fetus and the strains belonging to ST-6 may be more pathogenic to human.</p>","PeriodicalId":49959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Medical Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142512006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the histopathology of patients with AD, there are several features, such as accumulation of eosinophils and mast cells, hyperkeratosis, and dermal fibrosis which are related to the exacerbation of AD. Mast cells and eosinophils are thought to be involved in fibrosis, but the details are unknown. Yama mouse is an inbred mouse showing genetically eosinophilia. If eosinophils have significant effect on fibrosis, it may be possible to establish a new AD model with severe fibrosis. In this study, AD was induced by applying dinitrofluorobenzene to mice auricle. Yama mice showed AD lesion with more severe dermal fibrosis with severe eosinophil infiltration than Balb/c and Nc/nga mice. The expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), a cytokine important for fibrosis, was not significantly different among Yama, Balb/c, and Nc/nga mice, while the expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4), which is also mediator of tissue fibrosis, was increased only in Yama mice. The results of this study showed that AD with more severe fibrosis could be induced in Yama mice than in Balb/c and Nc/nga mice. In Yama mice, it can be concluded that the severe fibrosis is TGF-β independent, and IL-4 would be the main mediator of severe fibrosis.

The prognosis of FMT is poor due to its high malignancy and metastatic potential. The outcomes of treatment using the common anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) are unsatisfactory, with resistance inevitably leading to treatment failure and disease recurrence. Salinomycin (SAL), an antibiotic, has been reported to exert anticancer effects on both human and canine mammary tumors. To recapitulate the genetic and molecular imprints of the original tumor sample, we generated four strains of patient-derived FMT 2.5D organoids (FMTO) to examine the anti-tumor potential of SAL. Our results revealed that SAL decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of FMTO with SAL-induced cell apoptosis, represented by an upregulation of P21, Caspase-8, and Caspase-9, and increased activity of Caspase-3/7. The combination of low-dose SAL with DOX (SD) potentiated the cytotoxicity of the latter in both DOX-resistant and DOX-sensitive strains, promoting cell apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. In vivo, experiments using FMTO-derived xenografts engrafted into mice revealed decreased tumor growth following SAL administration. In conclusion, SAL showed anticancer activity against FMTO and potentiated the anticancer effect of DOX by inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. These results suggest that SAL may represent a new adjuvant treatment option for patients with FMT.</p>","PeriodicalId":49959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Medical Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142512011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of the modules indicated that the \"Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction\" was linked to PPV. Furthermore, we screened 124 target genes involved in more than 100 pathways that interact with C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), which plays an essential role in regulating numerous biological processes.
