Aim: To analyze the promoter sequence of toll-like receptor (TLR) genes in Vechur cattle, an indigenous breed of Kerala with the sequence of Bos taurus and access the differences that could be attributed to innate immune responses against bovine mastitis.
Materials And Methods: Blood samples were collected from Jugular vein of Vechur cattle, maintained at Vechur cattle conservation center of Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, using an acid-citrate-dextrose anticoagulant. The genomic DNA was extracted, and polymerase chain reaction was carried out to amplify the promoter region of TLRs. The amplified product of TLR2, 4, and 9 promoter regions was sequenced by Sanger enzymatic DNA sequencing technique.
Results: The sequence of promoter region of TLR2 of Vechur cattle with the B. taurus sequence present in GenBank showed 98% similarity and revealed variants for four sequence motifs. The sequence of the promoter region of TLR4 of Vechur cattle revealed 99% similarity with that of B. taurus sequence but not reveals significant variant in motifregions. However, two heterozygous loci were observed from the chromatogram. Promoter sequence of TLR9 gene also showed 99% similarity to B. taurus sequence and revealed variants for four sequence motifs.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that significant variation in the promoter of TLR2 and 9 genes in Vechur cattle breed and may potentially link the influence the innate immunity response against mastitis diseases.

Cattle contribute to the nutritional needs and economy of a place. The performance and fitness of cattle depend on the response and adaptation to local climatic conditions. Genomic and genetic studies are important for advancing cattle breeding, and availability of relevant reference genomes is essential.

In the present study, next generation sequencing was employed to identify and explore the differential expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of crossbred ( x ) and Vechur () cattle in response to the bacterial endotoxin-lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The PBMCs from adult apparently healthy female crossbred cows and Vechur cattle, a native cattle breed of Kerala, India were stimulated with 10 μg/mL of LPS for 6 h. Among the differentially expressed miRNAs, the expression of 13 miRNAs showed statistically significant up regulation while, significant decrease in the expression of 15 miRNAs was noticed in LPS treated PBMCs of Vechur cattle compared to crossbred cows.

Background: Indian cattle breeds (Bos indicus) are known for their remarkable adaptability to hot and humid climates, higher nutritious quality of milk, better disease tolerance, and greater ability to perform in poor feed compared to taurine cattle (Bos taurus). Distinct phenotypic differences are observed among the B. indicus breeds; however, the whole genome sequences were unavailable for these indigenous breeds.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a transcription factor stabilized by hypoxia by inducing or suppressing the homeostatic regulatory gene expression, enabling tissues and cells to survive despite fluctuations in environmental circumstances. As the name implies, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 is secreted not only as a cellular response to hypoxia but also in heat stress and oxidative stress. The goal of this work was to determine the molecular characterisation of the gene coding region as well as the differences in HIF-1αprotein primary structure between Vechur cattle and other cattle breeds in the online databases.
