Abstract:

In order to study the damage of mammary fibroblasts in sheep E.coli mastitis and the mechanism of TLR4,primary sheep mammary fibroblasts was obtained through in vitro culture,and E.coli artificially infected cells to establish E.coli mastitis cell model.Analyze the effect of E.coli on cell injury and the role of TLR4 in E.coli mastitis.Enzymatic digestion combined with differential digestion to obtain primary sheep mammary fibroblasts;MTT method to detect cell viability and cytotoxicity of the TLR4 blocker CLI-095;LDH method detects the damage of E.coli to sheep mammary fibroblasts and determines the optimal MOI;qRT-PCR to detect the relative expression of caspase-3 and TLR4 mRNA and the blocking effect of CLI-095;colorimetric method to detect the enzymatic activity of pyroptosis protein caspase-4,5;WB to detect the relative expression of TLR4 protein;the plate viable bacteria count method was used to detect the effect of CLI-095 on the adhesion of E.coli to sheep mammary fibroblasts.Sheep mammary fibroblasts was isolated,and the results of MTT assay showed good cell viability.After sheep mammary fibroblasts were infected with E.coli MOI=4:1,the release of LDH was significantly increased in each time period;the relative expression of caspase-3 mRNA increased significantly within 1-3 h of infection,and decreased significantly after 3 h;caspase-4,5 enzyme activity increased within 1-3 h of infection,and decreased after 3 h.The mRNA and protein expression of TLR4 were significantly up-regulated,and the CLI-095 could inhibit the adhesion of E.coli to cells.After E.coli infects fibroblasts,the release of LDH was increased,the expression of caspase-3 gene was up-regulated,and the activity of caspase-4,5 was increased,which promotes the injury,apoptosis and pyroptosis of sheep mammary fibroblasts.E.coli infection promotes the expression of TLR4 mRNA and protein in sheep mammary fibroblasts.The TLR4 blocker CLI-095 may inhibit the adhesion of E.coli to cells by inhibiting the expression of TLR4.
