Abstract

Bovine mastitis seriously affects bovine health and dairy product quality. Escherichia coli is the most important pathogen in the environment and dairy products. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a zoonotic pathogen, which seriously threatens the health of people and dairy cows. We recently reported that E. coli can induce endogenous apoptosis in bovine mammary epithelial cells. However, the mechanism of EPEC-damaged mitochondria and -induced bovine mastitis is unclear. In this study, we found that EPEC can induce DRP-1-dependent mitochondrial fission and apoptosis. This was verified by the application of Mdivi, a DRP-1 inhibitor. Meanwhile, in order to verify the role of the Map virulence factor in EPEC-induced bovine mastitis, we constructed a map mutant, complementary strain, and recombinant plasmid MapHis. In the present study, we find that Map induced DRP-1-mediated mitochondrial fission, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. These inferences were further verified in vivo by establishing a mouse mastitis model. After the map gene was knocked out, breast inflammation and apoptosis in mice were significantly alleviated. All results show that EPEC targets mitochondria by secreting the Map virulence factor to induce DRP-1-mediated mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endogenous apoptosis in bovine mastitis.
