Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of contagious mastitis in dairy cattle. Internalization of S. aureus by bovine mammary gland epithelial cells is thought to be responsible for persistent and chronic intramammary infection, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Methods: In the present study, we evaluated the role of Annexin A2 (AnxA2), a membrane-binding protein, in S. aureus invasion into bovine mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T). In vitro binding assays were performed to co-immunoprecipitate the binding proteins of AnxA2 in the lysates of S. aureus. Results: AnxA2 mediated the internalization but not adherence of S. aureus. Engagement of AnxA2 stimulated an integrin-linked protein kinase (ILK)/p38 MAPK cascade to induce S. aureus invasion. One of the AnxA2-precipitated proteins was identified as S. aureus clumping factor B (ClfB) through use of mass spectrometry. Direct binding of ClfB to AnxA2 was further confirmed by using a pull-down assay. Pre-incubation with recombinant ClfB protein enhanced S. aureus internalization, an effect that was specially blocked by anti-AnxA2 antibody. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that binding of ClfB to AnxA2 has a function in promoting S. aureus internalization. Targeting the interaction of ClfB and AnxA2 may confer protection against S. aureus mastitis.

AbstractThis Research Communication addresses the hypothesis that exogenously administered phospholipase A2 (PLA2) affects the inflammatory responses of bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMEC) in vitro with the aim of providing preliminary justification of investigation into the uses of exogenously administered PLA2 to manage or treat bovine mastitis. Primary bMEC lines from 11 lactating Holstein dairy cows were established and the expression of 14 pro-inflammatory genes compared under unchallenged and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged conditions, with and without concurrent treatment with bovine pancreatic PLA2G1B, a secreted form of PLA2. No differences in the expression of these genes were noted between PLA2-treated and untreated bMEC under unchallenged conditions. Following LPS challenge, untreated bMEC exhibited significant downregulation of CXCL8, IL1B, CCL20, and CXCL1. In contrast, PLA2-treated bMEC exhibited significant downregulation of IL1B and CCL20 only. These findings indicate that exogenous PLA2 affects the expression of some pro-inflammatory factors in immune-stimulated bMEC, but does not influence the constitutive expression of these factors. Further investigation of the influence of exogenous PLA2 in the bovine mammary gland is justified.

ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureusis a major pathogen that is responsible for mastitis in dairy herds.S. aureusmastitis is difficult to treat and prone to recurrence despite antibiotic treatment. The ability ofS. aureusto invade bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMEC) is evoked to explain this chronicity. One sustainable alternative to treat or prevent mastitis is the use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as mammary probiotics. In this study, we tested the ability ofLactobacillus caseistrains to prevent invasion of bMEC by twoS. aureusbovine strains, RF122 and Newbould305, which reproducibly induce acute and moderate mastitis, respectively.L. caseistrains affected adhesion and/or internalization ofS. aureusin a strain-dependent manner. Interestingly,L. caseiCIRM-BIA 667 reducedS. aureusNewbould305 and RF122 internalization by 60 to 80%, and this inhibition was confirmed for two otherL. caseistrains, including one isolated from bovine teat canal. The protective effect occurred without affecting bMEC morphology and viability. Once internalized, the fate ofS. aureuswas not affected byL. casei. It should be noted thatL. caseiwas internalized at a low rate but survived in bMEC cells with a better efficiency than that ofS. aureusRF122. Inhibition ofS. aureusadhesion was maintained with heat-killedL. casei, whereas contact between liveL. caseiandS. aureusor bMEC was required to preventS. aureusinternalization. This first study of the antagonism of LAB towardS. aureusin a mammary context opens avenues for the development of novel control strategies against this major pathogen.

ABSTRACT The fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) of Staphylococcus aureus are believed to be implicated in the pathogen's adherence to and colonization of bovine mammary glands, thus leading to infectious mastitis. In vitro studies have shown that FnBPs help the adhesion of the pathogen to bovine mammary epithelial cells. However, the importance of FnBPs for the infection of mammary glands has never been directly established in vivo. In this study with a mouse model of mastitis, the presence of FnBPs on the surface of S. aureus increased the capacity of the bacterium to colonize mammary glands under suckling pressure compared to that of a mutant lacking FnBPs.
