Potential regulatory role of microRNAs in the development of bovine gastrointestinal tract during early life
Download2014
Liang, Guanxiang, Bao, Hua, Guan, Leluo, Griebel, Philip J., Stothard, Paul, McFadden, Thomas B., Malmuthuge, Nilusha
This study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role of miRNAs in the development of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) during the early life of dairy calves. Rumen and small intestinal (mid-jejunum and ileum) tissue samples were collected from newborn (30 min after birth; n = 3), 7-day-old...

Repeated oronasal exposure to lipopolysaccharide induced mucosal IgA responses in periparturient dairy cows
Download2014
Dunn, Suzanna M., Iqbal, Summera, Zebeli, Qendrim, Mansmann, Dominik A., Ametaj, Burim N.
This study investigated the effects of repeated oronasal treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the humoral immune responses in saliva, vaginal mucus, and the plasma markers of the acute phase response in periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant Holstein cows were administered either 3...

Gene duplication is a widespread phenomenon in genome evolution, and it has been proposed to serve as an engine of evolutionary innovation. In the present study, we performed the first comprehensive analysis of duplicate genes in the bovine genome. A total of 3131 putative duplicated gene pairs...

Short-chain fatty acids influence host immunity, mucus secretion and microbial community structure to reduce enteritis
DownloadFall 2016
Optimal intestinal health is critical to overall host well-being, and acute and chronic enteric inflammatory diseases impart a significant detrimental impact on Canadians. The consumption of dietary fibre (DF) has long been associated with providing a health benefit to individuals, and regulatory...

Small intestine early innate immunity response during intestinal colonization by Escherichia coli depends on its extra-intestinal virulence status
Download2016
Denamur, Erick, Tourret, Jérôme, Dion, Sara, Willing, Benjamin P., Wachtel, Sarah, Finlay, B. Brett, Dufour, Nicolas, Croxen, Matthew A.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...

The endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis induces the expression of host antioxidant proteins in an Aedes albopictus cell line
Download2008
Harris, H.L., Brennan, L.J., Keddie, B.A., Braig, H.R.
Wolbachia are obligate intracellular bacteria which commonly infect arthropods. They are maternally inherited and capable of altering host development, sex determination, and reproduction. Reproductive manipulations include feminization, male-killing, parthenogenesis, and cytoplasmic...

The intestinal microbiota plays a role in Salmonella-induced colitis independent of pathogen colonization
Download2011
Antunes, L. Caetano M., Gill, Navkiran, Russell, Shannon L., Finlay, B. Brett, Ferreira, Rosana B., Croxen, Matthew A., Willing, Benjamin P.
The intestinal microbiota is composed of hundreds of species of bacteria, fungi and protozoa and is critical for numerous biological processes, such as nutrient acquisition, vitamin production, and colonization resistance against bacterial pathogens. We studied the role of the intestinal...

Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of the lung of influenza-infected pigs: A comparison of different birth weight and Susceptibility groups
Download2015-09-22
Harding, John C.S., Foxcroft, George R., Gunvaldsen, Rayna E., Dyck, Michael K., Plastow, Graham S., Detmer, Susan E., Wilkinson, Jamie M., Dixon, Walter T.
Influenza viruses are a common cause of respiratory disease in swine. Infections range in severity from asymptomatic to causing significant morbidity. The main objective of this study was to compare lung transcriptomic and epigenetic responses to influenza infection in pigs from high or low birth...
