Abstract
Recent research in our lab has demonstrated a significant association between the incidence of subclinical mastitis and specific polymorphisms of the CXCR2 gene in Holstein dairy cows. This gene encodes a receptor for interleukin-8 (IL-8), a key regulator of neutrophil migration, killing and survival. Because of the importance of this gene in neutrophil function, we hypothesized that differences in neutrophil killing and survival may exist among the CXCR2 genotypes and potentially contribute to the observed variation in intramammary infections. To test this hypothesis, neutrophils were isolated from cows representing each CXCR2 +777 genotype (GG, GC or CC) and tested for suppression of apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, glutathione levels, and bactericidal activity. A significant increase in survival was observed in neutrophils from cows with a CC genotype when compared to those with a GG genotype in response to IL-8, but not dexamethasone. In contrast, a significant reduction in neutrophil ROS generation in response to phorbol-13-myristate-12 acetate (PMA) was observed in cows with a CC genotype when compared to those with a GG genotype. However, no differences in bactericidal activity or glutathione levels w...Continue Reading
