Abstract

In recent years, using a genome-wide association study (GWAS), a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been suggested to be associated with susceptibility to leukemia in cattle. However, all studies have been done with purebred Holstein cows and their hybrids. In this regard, it is important to confirm the functional role of polymorphisms previously identified in a GWAS study in Russian cattle breeds. The aim of this study was to verify the association between rs110861313 in the intergenic region of bovine chromosome 23 and leukemia in the Russian Black Pied cattle. Based on the levels of bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-specific antibodies detected in serum using serodiagnostic techniques, animals were divided into three groups: healthy animals (n = 115), asymptomatic virus carriers (n = 145) and animals with leukemia (n = 107). Genotyping of rs110861313 was carried out using polymerase chain reaction followed by analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms. A significant decrease in the frequency of the A/A genotype (11.2 %) was revealed in animals with persistent lymphocytosis compared to virus carriers (27.6 %) (p < 0.002). At the same time, the frequency of animals with the C/C genotype in animals with persistent lymphocytosis (41.1 %) was significantly higher than that of virus carriers (21.4 %) (p < 0.001). In this case, asymptomatic virus carriers can be considered a more suitable control than healthy animals that have not been in contact with the virus. According to bioinformatics analysis, resistance to BLV can be due to the presence of the transcription factor FOXM1 binding site in the region of rs110861313. FOXM1 is expressed in immune cells and can potentially affect the expression of the neighboring genes (LY6G5B, GPANK1, ABHD16A, LY6G6F, LY6G6E, CSNK2B, ApoM). Thus, we found that SNP rs110861313 in the intergenic region of bovine chromosome 23 is associated with the development of leukemia following BLV infection in the Russian Black Pied cattle.

Summary

Expression in the immune system**

Ционных факторов (ССТФ), сходство которых с весовой матрицей могло измениться в результате нуклеотидной зам­ ены в районе rs110861313. Благодаря программе было выявлено шесть ССТФ, сходство которых с весовой матрицей оценивалось значением p-value < 5 · 10–4 и было выше для альтернативного аллеля A, связанного с устойчивостью к лейкозу. Что все шесть сай­ тов соответствовали транскрипционным факторам, экспрессирующимся в клетках иммунной системы (TBR1, FOXM1, FOXG1, ZSCA4, FOXD3, MTF1) Обсуждение С помощью метода ПЦР-ПДРФ была исследована частота генотипов и аллелей ОНП rs110861313 в межгенном участке хромосомы 23 в выборках здоровых и больных лейкозом животных, а также бессимптомных вирусоносителей черно-пестрой породы крупного рогатого скота. Нами обнаружено достоверное снижение частоты ге­ но­типа А/А по ОНП rs110861313 у больных лейкозом жи­ вотных по сравнению с вирусоносителями При этом у больных животных была существенно снижена частота аллеля А и увеличена частота аллеля С по сравнению с вирусоносителями. Для онкогенеза осо­ бенно важны антиапоптотические функции СК2: эта про­теинкиназа способствует репарации ДНК, влияет на сигнальные каскады NF-kB, Wnt, PI3K/Akt и JAK-STAT, взаимодействует с шаперонами, активирует антиапоптотические и инактивирует проапоптотические белки, в том
