Evaluation of Some Ecute Phase Proteins, Cytokines and Hepcidin Levels in Naturally Infected Saanen Goats with Paratuberculosis

Abstract

Johne's Disease or paratuberculosis is a mycobacterial infection of ruminants and has a global economical impact. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is the cause of this disease. It reduces milk production, cause chronic weight loss leading death and major losses. Acute phase reactions are defined as minimum 25% increase or decrease in serum concentrations of acute phase proteins which are triggered by pro or antiinflammatory cytokines released from various cells or tissues. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis on blood parameters, some acute phase proteins, cytokines and hepcidin in naturally infected goats with paratuberculosis. In this study, total 45 Saanen goats aged 2-5 years from both sex were used as animal material. Study group were included 35 and control group were included 10 animal for evaluation. Complete blood counts were performed on blood taken from all animals. Also interleukin 6, interleukin 10, serum amyloid A, haptoglobin, fibrinogen, and hepcidin levels were evaluated from serum samples. As a result, interleukin 6 (p<0.01), interleukin 10 (p<0.01) serum amyloid A (p<0.001), haptoglobin (p<0.001), fibrinogen (p<0.05), and hepcidin (p<0.05) differences between groups were statistically important and they can be used to support the diagnosis of paratuberculosis.

Efficacy of Paromomycin Sulphate for the Treatment of Cryptosporidiosis in Goat Kids

“…Showing a faster response to an experimental inflammatory stimulus than other APPs in goats, SAA can be a major APP (increase up to 22 folds) indicating an acute condition (González et al, 2008). In a study on goats naturally infected with paratuberculosis, SAA concentration was reported to increase (Sevgisunar and Şahinduran, 2021). Demirbas and Kabu (2021) determined in their study on pneumonic goats that SAA concentration was higher in the pneumonic group than the healthy goats.…”

“…The haemogram (for whole blood analysis) from samples was obtained before necropsy in the sodium EDTA-containing tubes. The procedure was then carried out utilising a Diatron (Budapest, Hungary) Abacus Junior vet haematology analyser device (Sevgisunar, 2017).…”

“…Hepcidin (HEPC) is also classified as an AMP, namely defensin, with multiple immune activities despite having four cysteine (disulfide) bridges instead of three (as in classical defensins). The main site of HEPC production is the liver, but it is also detected in the kidneys, pancreatic beta cells, adipose tissue, heart, and body fluids [14]. It has direct antiviral and antimicrobial activity, but HEPC also takes part in iron metabolism.…”
