| Abstract: | Associations between the AC150887.4:c.-1768T>A SNP (rs41255711), which is located in the 5' upstream region of the IL8RA gene (also known as CXCR1), and the estimated breeding values for somatic cell score in the first (P = 0.019) and second (P = 0.035) lactations were previously reported in a population of Canadian Holstein bulls. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of this SNP on the expression of IL8RA by qRT-PCR. Neutrophils were isolated from whole blood samples from a group of cows with genotypes c.-1768AA (n = 4), c.-1768AT (n = 5) and c.-1768TT (n = 5) after the cows had been challenged in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This study demonstrated that LPS-induced expression of IL8RA in cows with the c.-1768AA genotype was significantly greater when compared with the c.-1768AT and c.-1768TT genotypes (P < 0.05) before as well as after in vitro LPS challenge. |
