Abstract: | Bovine mycoplasmosis caused by Mycoplasma bovis results in pneumonia and mastitis in cattle. We previously demonstrated that the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway is involved in immune dysfunction during M. bovis infection and that prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) suppressed immune responses and upregulated PD-L1 expression in Johne's disease, a bacterial infection in cattle. In this study, we investigated the role of PGE(2) in immune dysfunction and the relationship between PGE(2) and the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in M. bovis infection. In vitro stimulation with M. bovis upregulated the expressions of PGE(2) and PD-L1 presumably via Toll-like receptor 2 in bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PGE(2) levels of peripheral blood in infected cattle were significantly increased compared with those in uninfected cattle. Remarkably, plasma PGE(2) levels were positively correlated with the proportions of PD-L1(+) monocytes in M. bovis-infected cattle. Additionally, plasma PGE(2) production in infected cattle was negatively correlated with M. bovis-specific interferon (IFN)-gamma production from PBMCs. These results suggest that PGE(2) could be one of the inducers of PD-L1 expression and could be involved in immunosuppression during M. bovis infection. In vitro blockade assays using anti-bovine PD-L1 antibody and a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor significantly upregulated the M. bovis-specific IFN-gamma response. Our study findings might contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for bovine mycoplasmosis that target PGE(2) and the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. |
