Apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes of the juvenile bovine mammary gland during induced influx

Abstract: -The dynamics of apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) during induced influx of PMN into the cavity system of the juvenile bovine mammary gland in order to investigate the role of apoptosis of PMN in the resolution of mastitis was studied. The instillation of a synthetic analogue of muramyl dipeptide into teat sinus of the sixteen mammary glands was followed by a massive influx of PMN culminating after 24 h and resolving after 96 h. Every 24 h following the influx, apoptotic PMN were microscopically … Show more

“…This decrease became apparent at 48 h in PBS-induced and at 72 h in LPS-induced mammary gland injury. These changes closely correlate with the clearance of apoptotic neutrophils, as determined in our previous paper in which the highest counts of apoptotic neutrophils and myeloperoxidase-positive mononuclear phagocytes were found at 48 and 72 h in PBS-induced and LPS-induced mammary gland injury, respectively [23,24]. This difference can be attributed to LPS which prolonged the influx of neutrophils and delayed the onset of neutrophil apoptosis.…”

“…Sládek and Rys lánek [16] were the first to show that bovine PMN are phagocytosed by macrophages in the mammary gland of heifers. In contrast, necrosis can lead to an inflammatory reaction because of the release of the cellular content into the surrounding tissue.…”
