Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) produce copious type I interferon (IFN) upon sensing nucleic acids through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and TLR9. Uncontrolled pDC activation and IFN production are implicated in lymphopenia and autoimmune diseases; therefore, a mechanism controlling pDC IFN production is essential. Human pDCs specifically express an orphan receptor, immunoglobulin-like transcript 7 (ILT7). Here, we discovered an ILT7 ligand expressed by human cell lines and identified it as bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (BST2; CD317). BST2 directly binds to purified ILT7 protein, initiates signaling via the ILT7–FcεRIγ complex, and strongly inhibits production of IFN and proinflammatory cytokines by pDCs. Readily induced by IFN and other proinflammatory cytokines, BST2 may modulate the human pDC’s IFN responses through ILT7 in a negative feedback fashion.

Endometritis adversely affects the ability of cattle to reproduce and significantly reduces milk production. The is mainly composed of epithelial and stromal cells, and they produce the first immune response to invading pathogens. However, most of the epithelial cells are disrupted, and stromal cells are exposed to an inflammatory environment when endometritis occurs, especially postpartum. Many bacteria and toxins start attacking stromal cell due to loss of epithelium, which stimulates Toll-like receptor (TLRs) on stromal cells and causes upregulated expression of cytokines. Understanding the genome-wide characterization of bovine endometritis will be beneficial for prevention and treatment of endometritis. In this study, whole-transcriptomic gene changes in bovine endometrial stromal cells (BESCs) treated with LPS were compared with those treated with PBS (control group) and were analyzed by RNA sequencing. Compared with the control group, a total of 366 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the LPS-induced group (234 upregulated and 132 downregulated genes), with an adjusted P < 0.05 by DESeq. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were most enriched in interleukin-1 receptor binding, regulation of cell activation, and lymphocyte-activated interleukin-12 production. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed DEGs were most enriched in the TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, NF-κB signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway. The results of this study unraveled BESCs affected with LPS transcriptome profile alterations, which may have a significant effect on treatment inflammation by comprehending molecular mechanisms and authenticating unique genes related to endometritis.

Abstract Background: Endometritis adversely affects the ability of cattle to reproduce, and significantly reduces milk production. Consequently, it has great influence on the economic value of dairy cows. The endometrium is mainly composed of epithelial and stromal cells and they produce the first immune response to invading pathogens. Epithelial cells are the first cellular barrier through which bacteria enter the uterine endometrium. However, most of the epithelial cells are disrupted and stromal cells are exposed to an inflammatory environment when endometritis occurs, especially postpartum. A loss of the protective epithelium allows bacteria or toxins to access the underlying stromal cells. The activation of Toll-like receptor(TLRs)on stromal cells induces increased production of cytokines. Understanding the genome-wide characterization of the bovine endometritis will be beneficial for prevention and treatment of endometritis. In this study, whole-transcriptomic gene changes in bovine stromal cells treated with LPS were compared with those treated with PBS (control group) and were analyzed by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). This was done in a cell culture model in vitro.Results: Compared with the control group, a total of 366 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in LPS-induced group (234 upregulated and 132 downregulated genes), with an adjusted P-value<0.05 by DESeq. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed DEGs were most enriched in lymphocyte activation, interleukin-1 receptor binding, regulation of cell activation, and lymphocyte-activated interleukin-12 production. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed DEGs were most enriched in TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like (NOD-like) receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway.Conclusion: The results of this study unraveled bovine endometrial stromal cells affected with LPS transcriptome profile alterations,which may have a significant effect on the treatment inflammation by comprehending molecular mechanisms and authenticating unique genes related to endometritis.
