Expression of phosphorylcholine by Histophilus somni induces bovine platelet aggregation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histophilus somni-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited by antagonists of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor but not inhibitors of PAF synthesis. In addition, H. somni cells expressing phosphorylcholine (ChoP) induced aggregation, while ChoP(-) H. somni cells did not. This suggests that H. somni ChoP may induce platelet aggregation via interactions with the PAF receptor.

The role of lipooligosaccharide phosphorylcholine in colonization and pathogenesis of Histophilus somni in cattle
Histophilus somni is a Gram-negative bacterium and member of the Pasteurellaceae that is responsible for respiratory disease and other systemic infections in cattle. One of the bacterium's virulence factors is antigenic phase variation of its lipooligosaccharide (LOS). LOS antigenic variation may occur through variation in composition or structure of glycoses or their substitutions, such as pho...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of phosphorylcholine expression on the lipooligosaccharide of Histophilus somni.
Histophilus somni (Haemophilus somnus) is an important pathogen of cattle that is responsible for respiratory disease, septicemia, and systemic diseases such as thrombotic meningoencephalitis, myocarditis, and abortion. A variety of virulence factors have been identified in H. somni, including compositional and antigenic variation of the lipooligosaccharide (LOS). Phosphorylcholine (ChoP) has b...

Our previous studies showed that bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) followed by Histophilus somni causes more severe bovine respiratory disease and a more permeable alveolar barrier in vitro than either agent alone. However, microarray analysis revealed the treatment of bovine alveolar type 2 (BAT2) epithelial cells with H. somni concentrated culture supernatant (CCS) stimulated up-regul...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of bovine NK-lysin-derived peptides on bovine respiratory pathogen Histophilus somni
Bovine NK-lysins, which are functionally and structurally similar to human granulysin and porcine NK-lysin, are predominantly found in the granules of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and NK-cells. Although antimicrobial activity of bovine NK-lysin has been assessed for several bacterial pathogens, not all the important bacterial pathogens that are involved in the bovine respiratory disease complex have...
متن کاملDifferentiation between bovine and ovine strains of Histophilus somni based on the sequences of 16S rDNA and rpoB gene.
Nucleotide sequences of 16S rDNA and rpoB gene of 25 bovine and 6 ovine Histophilus somni strains were determined to detect subtle differences between the host animal species. The 1465 nucleotide residues of the 16S rDNA exhibited levels of sequence similarities of 99.4% or more. The high sequence similarity of the 16S rDNA of recently described species H. somni was confirmed in the 31 strains ...
