Scavenger receptor B1 facilitates the endocytosis of Escherichia coli via TLR4 signaling in mammary gland infection.

SCARB1 belongs to class B of Scavenger receptors (SRs) that are known to be involved in binding and endocytosis of various pathogens. SRs have emerging role in regulating innate immunity and host-pathogen interactions by acting in co-ordination with Toll-like receptors.Query Little is known about the function of SCARB1 in milk-derived mammary epithelial cells (MECs).

Comparative RNA-Seq analysis reveals insights in Salmonella disease resistance of chicken; and database development as resource for gene expression in poultry.

Salmonella, one of the major infectious diseases in poultry, causes considerable economic losses in terms of mortality and morbidity, especially in countries that lack effective vaccination programs. Besides being resistant to diseases, indigenous chicken breeds are also a potential source of animal protein in developing countries. For understanding the disease resistance, an indigenous chicken line Kashmir faverolla, and commercial broiler were selected.

Expression of lncRNAs in response to bacterial infections of goat mammary epithelial cells reveals insights into mammary gland diseases.

Mastitis or inflammation of the mammary gland is a highly economic and deadly alarming disease for the dairy sector as well as policymakers caused by microbial infection. Transcriptomic and proteomic approaches have been widely employed to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms of bacterial infections in the mammary gland. Numerous differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs, and proteins together with their associated signaling pathways have been identified during bacterial infection, paving the way for analysis of their biological functions.

Gene expression and antibody response in chicken against Salmonella Typhimurium challenge.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a primary avian pathogen responsible for severe intestinal pathology in younger chickens and economic losses to poultry industry. Furthermore, S.
