June 2009

To: The Honorable David A. Paterson and Members of the New York State Legislature

As I present this annual report for 2008 on behalf of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Board of Directors, having just been installed as Chairman in the past month, I wish to reflect on the profound loss the New York racing community experienced in October 2008 with the passing of Lorraine Power Tharp, who so ably served the Fund as its Chairwoman. Her dedication to the Fund was consistent with her lifetime of tireless commitment to a variety of civic and professional organizations here in New York. She will long be remembered not only as a role model for women involved in the practice of law but also as a forceful advocate for the humane treatment of all animals.

I also wish to extend my appreciation to fellow Fund Member Harry D. Snyder for his capable and attentive leadership while he served as Acting Chairman of the Fund late last year and earlier this year.

This annual report provides an overview of the Fund’s activities which, as the Fund’s statement notes, are intended to “preserve, protect and promote the green-belt sector of New York State and to foster the growth and expansion of New York’s thoroughbred breeding industry.”

The breeding incentive awards program administered by the Fund is designed to be the cornerstone of efforts to expand the thoroughbred industry. Here in New York, we are fortunate to have a governor who recognizes the importance agriculture plays in the employment of tens of thousands of New Yorkers. In accepting this assignment from Governor Paterson to lead the Fund, which was created 35 years ago, it is my intention to enhance the activities of the Fund and identify new strategies with which we can stimulate this crucial sector of the New York economy. The people of New York rightfully expect our public agencies and authorities to operate in a manner that is efficient and fair, and I am eager to respond to the challenges before us.

In 2008, 2,949 mares were bred on more than 400 thoroughbred breeding farms across New York. New York again ranked among the top five states in foal production. Total land usage attributable to the thoroughbred breeding industry in New York exceeds 43,000 acres. This is land that is located in every region of New York’s green-belt sector.

The economic impact that New York’s thoroughbred industry has on rural communities cannot be overstated. The award money flowing from the Fund can be a great catalyst for bringing new economic vitality to a state that has long been acclaimed for producing magnificent thoroughbreds. We duly note that no state tax money is used to fund the Thoroughbred Breeding Program – it is entirely industry-driven. The small portion of the wagering handle earmarked for the Fund allows New York the opportunity to attract capital investments from out-of-state sources, and also to reward those who have chosen to breed, raise, and race their thoroughbreds in the Empire State.

Our objective at the Fund is to see to it that the achievements of New York-breds grow each and every year. In 2008, the Breeding Fund’s awards distribution surpassed $13.3 million. During 2008, New York-breds earned over $76 million dollars in purse money throughout North America. This is revenue that, by and large, returns to New York’s working farms, breeders, and owners. New York- breds continue to compete successfully in top graded stakes both nationally and internationally.

Given my combination of roles as Chairman of the New York State Racing Board, Chairman of the Agriculture & Horse Breeding Development Fund, and Chairman of this Fund, I am focused on advancing new synergistic strategies to ensure that every dollar that flows from the Fund benefits the public purpose for which the Fund was created.

Sincerely,

John D. Sabini, Chairman

Executive Summary

Throughout 2008, as it has for thirty-five years, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund served as a key element in the growth of the New York State thoroughbred breeding industry. The Breeding Fund has thus far returned over $343 million to New York=s agricultural and equine economy. This industry continues to grow and has become a vital sector in New York=s agribusiness economy, as well as in the overall statewide economy. In 2008, the Breeding Fund disbursed nearly $13.5 million directly to participants in the New York breeding and racing industry through its awards program and purse enrichment. Additionally, New York- breds earned over $81 million for their owners and breeders in both open races and those restricted to state-bred horses. New York remains a great place to breed, raise, and race top- quality thoroughbreds.

Significant advances were made in 2008 in achieving the Thoroughbred Breeding Fund=s overall mission – to preserve, protect, and promote the green-belt sector of NYS and to foster the growth and expansion of New York=s thoroughbred breeding industry. The Breeding Fund plays an important role as a catalyst in the state=s thoroughbred industry, which accounts for over 40,000 agribusiness jobs in all parts of New York’s rich agricultural sector.

The 2008 report highlights and details disbursements in the Breeding Fund=s three major incentive areas (breeder awards, stallion awards, and open-company owner awards). Additionally, it examines purse enrichments of races exclusively for New York-breds held at the New York Racing Association=s three facilities (Saratoga, Belmont, and Aqueduct) and at Finger Lakes Racetrack. Lastly, the report details performance results of New York-breds and provides an analysis of the success of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding Program in terms of farm growth, foal production, and New York-based stallions and their progeny.

The distribution of various awards is by far the most important component of the New York Breeding and Racing Program. These awards have helped incentivize thousands of participants in the Program to do business right here in New York. In 2008, however, the Breeding Fund award levels and purse enrichment decreased for only the second time in the past decade, due to sinking handle revenue. Awards to breeders in 2008 totaled $6.8 million – an increase of nearly 50% from just 10 years ago. These awards contributed to the success and viability of the more than 400 breeding farms located throughout the state. These farms, which cover nearly 43,000 acres of working “green space,” are vital to the agribusiness economy of New York.

The past year was the 16th consecutive in which New York-breds ranked among the top four states in the nation in average earnings per starter, always an important and reliable barometer of program success. In 2008, New York’s average earnings per starter of $20,881 ranked third in the US. From 1994 to 2008, New York’s average earnings per starter increased by nearly 67%. New York-bred earnings exceeded $81 million throughout North America during 2008. These earnings were over 84% higher than the $44 million earned in 1996. Buying or breeding a NY-bred is a good investment. New York-breds continued to run for increased purses in races restricted to state-breds at NYRA tracks and Finger Lakes during 2008. Nearly 1,000 races restricted to New York-breds were run in 2008 in the state, with total purses of over $40 million.

This report provides an outline of the Breeding Fund=s advertising efforts and promotional activities, comprehensive comparisons to other state programs, and a wide array of industry spokespersons= views regarding the benefits and impact of the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing Program.

It is significant to note that the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding Fund has continued to support equine research and education as part of its efforts to ensure the future success of the Program. The Breeding Fund recognizes that a healthy and growing equine population is critical to New York State, as reflected by our continued support of the Harry M. Zweig equine program at Cornell University. In 2008, the New York Breeding Program disbursed $272,000 to the Zweig Fund.

Please refer to the pages immediately following this Executive Summary for a quick graphic reference concerning recent trends in the growth of the NY Thoroughbred Breeding Program, as well as data on the overall status of the industry.

Resources of the Fund

In accordance with statute (Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law, Section 247), resources of the Fund for the years involved were obtained as specified below.

1985: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle 1986: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle 1987: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle 1988: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle 1989: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle 1990: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle * 1991: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle * 1992: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle * 1993: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle ** 1994: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle ** 1995: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle ** 1996: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle ** 1997: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle ** 1998: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle *** 1999: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle *** 2000: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle **** 2001: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle **** 2002: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle **** 2003: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle **** 2004: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle **** 2005: .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle ***** 2006: .7 percent of on-track and off-track handle ****** 2007: .7 percent of on-track and off-track handle 1/1–3/31/07 and .5 percent of on-track and off-track handle 4/1–12/31/07 **** 2008: .7 percent of on-track and off-track handle at NYRA and .5 percent from all other sources

* Beginning in 1991, an additional .25 percent of on-track and off-track handle for special events.

** Beginning in July 1994, the Fund began receiving 50% of ½ the breakage from regional Off-Track Betting Corporations on in-state racing. In 1995, breakage from races simulcast from out-of-state was included.

*** Beginning with the fall Belmont meet of 1999, the Fund began to receive an additional one-tenth of one percent of the handle on live racing at NYRA. From January 1 through year end, this additional .1 percent amounted to $372,062 in added revenue. Therefore, the Fund receives .6 of 1% from NYRA, while all other sources are received at .5 of 1% of handle.

**** Effective April 1, 2001, the additional one-tenth of one percent of the handle on live racing at NYRA is increased by two-tenths of one percent. Therefore, the Fund receives .7 of 1% of handle from NYRA. All other sources are received at .5 of 1% of handle.

***** Effective April 1, 2006, an additional two-tenths of one percent of the handle is received from NYRA’s signal to in-state tracks and OTB, as well as from the out-of-state thoroughbred simulcast handle at FLRA and OTB.

****** Effective April 1, 2007, our percentage of handle received reverted to .5 of 1%.

Receipts

As reported on the preceding page, the Fund’s receipts consist of handle revenue, revenue from breakage, and interest. The following is a comparison between total receipts and the source for each year from 2000 to 2008:

Breakage revenue was first received by the Fund for the latter part of 1994. In 1995, breakage for simulcast of out-of-state races was first included in the Fund’s revenue. The first full year in which the Fund received breakage revenue at its current formula was 1996.

VLT Commission

On February 18, 2004, Finger Lakes began operation of video lottery terminals. By agreement, the fund receives 1.247% of the net hold (vendor’s fee). In 2004, this amounted to $690,808. The first full year of receiving this VLT commission was 2005, during which a total of $885,715 was earned. In 2006, the VLT commission earned by the Fund totaled $1,080,924, an increase of 22% over the 2005 figure. In 2007, the VLT commission earned by the Fund increased to $1,163,041, up 31% over the 2005 figure. The year 2008 saw the VLT commission earned by the Fund increase to $1,299,655, an increase of more than 46% compared to the figure for 2005.

Distribution of Fund Monies in 1998

Per the same statute, the Fund was authorized to distribute monies as follows:

• For enrichment of purses for races exclusively for New York-breds (not to exceed 44%) • For awards to owners of New York-breds who have earned purse money in open competition at New York tracks (not to exceed 33%)

• For awards to breeders of New York-breds who have earned purse money in races (not to exceed 43%)

• For awards to New York stallion owners whose stallions have sired New York-breds who have earned purses in races (not to exceed 15%)

HORSE-INDUSTRY IMPACT STUDY

The most recent comprehensive economic impact study of the U.S. horse industry was conducted by the Barents Group. The American Horse Council commissioned the Barents Group to undertake the study for the benefit of our industry. The following excerpts are included in our annual report through the kind and generous permission of the American Horse Council. Although the information provided in this study has been included in the annual report each of the past few years, it remains the most current and comprehensive data available.

A comprehensive survey of the equine industry was commissioned by the State of New York Department of Agriculture and Markets, with the financial cooperation of the industry, including the Fund. Excerpts of this survey are included in this report and will follow the American Horse Council industry report.

On a national level, the horse industry impacts the U.S. economy as follows:

On an annual basis, the horse industry produces goods and services valued at $25.3 billion. It has a $112.1 billion impact on the U.S. economy when the multiplier effect of spending by industry suppliers and employees is taken into account. The industry accounts for 338,500 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs. Spending by suppliers and employees generates additional jobs. The total employment impact is approximately 1.4 million jobs. The industry pays approximately $1.9 billion in taxes.

The breeding sector has the following economic impacts:

A total of 328,000 horses are involved in breeding, with an additional 397,000 involved in racing and other forms of competition. Breeding produces goods and services valued at approximately $1.3 billion, and has a $7.4 billion impact on the U.S. GDP. Breeding provides 30,800 full-time jobs and generates an additional 96,100 jobs elsewhere in the economy.

The Barents Group, which conducted this study, warns that the figures for New York in particular appear to be understated, while the figures for Kentucky may be overstated. This is due to the method used in the survey.

NEW YORK

The horse industry is highly diverse and supports a wide variety of activities in all regions of the state. It combines the primarily rural activities of breeding, maintaining, and training horses with the more urban activities of operating racetracks, Off-Track Betting parlors, and horse shows. The following points highlight the importance of the New York horse industry.

The New York horse industry produces goods and services valued at $1.7 billion. The national industry has a $4.8 billion impact on the New York economy when the multiplier effect of spending by industry suppliers and employees is taken into account. Including the off-site spending of spectators would result in an even higher figure. A total of 258,100 New Yorkers are involved in the industry as horse owners, service providers, employees, and volunteers. Even more participate as spectators. The New York horse industry directly accounts for 12,800 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs. Spending by suppliers and employees (in New York and other states) generates additional jobs in New York, for a total employment impact of 49,500 jobs. A total of 146,000 horses are based in New York, over 60 percent of which are involved in showing and recreation. New York is the home of nine racetracks with long seasons and a large number of OTB facilities. Six of the 40 national horse shows in 1996 were held in New York.

As NY Tables 4a and 5a clearly show, 61% of the jobs created in New York by the horse industry are directly attributable to the thoroughbred industry. In addition, the thoroughbred industry accounts for nearly 55% of the New York State GDP contributed by the horse industry, as shown in NY Tables 2a and 3a.

As indicated by the results of the Barents Study, the thoroughbred industry in New York is a major factor in the state’s GDP, and is also responsible for many jobs in the state’s rural communities.

NATIONAL ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY

In 2004, the American Horse Council (AHC) commissioned Deloitte Consulting LLP to undertake a current economic-impact analysis of the horse industry in the United States. The study, issued in July 2005, updates and expands upon the original economic-impact study released by Barents Group LLC in 1996, which determined the size of the horse industry and, for the first time, its impact on the national economy.

Once again, The Jockey Club was among the industry organizations that provided major funding support for the updated study. Others include the American Association of Equine Practitioners, American Quarter Horse Association, American Paint Horse Association, Keeneland Association, National Thoroughbred Racing Association/Breeders’ Cup Ltd., Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, U.S. Equestrian Federation, and U.S. Trotting Association.

Calendar Year Average Breeder Award

2008 $7,909 2007 $9,194 2006 $9,490 2005 $10,286 2004 $9,647 2003 $9,314 2002 $9,497 2001 $9,337 2000 $9,031 1999 $8,740 1998 $7,933 1997 $8,081 1996 $7,689

The year 2008 again saw the Fund board increase the percentage allocated for breeder awards from 43% to 50%, which is the highest level of allocation allowed by our statues. This Board action increased the amount available for breeder awards by nearly a million dollars. Over the nine years (2000 to 2008) since the enabling legislation was enacted, the Fund’s Board has allocated more than an additional $8,000,000 in breeder awards.

In 2000, the amount of Fund revenue available for distribution was less than the total amount of the awards at the standard rates. This shortfall was largely attributed to an improvement in the performance of New York-breds. As a result of the 2000 shortfall, Breeder awards were paid at 95.18% of the standard rates.

In 2001, breeder awards were paid at a premium. All awards were paid at 00.2578% above the standard rates.

In 2002, breeder awards were paid at a premium. All awards were paid at 00.29526% above the standard rates.

In 2003, breeder awards were paid at the standard rates.

In 2004, breeder awards were paid at the standard rates.

In 2005, breeder awards were paid at 95.52% of the standard rate.

In 2006, breeder awards were paid at 97.825% of the standard rate.

In 2007, breeder awards were paid at 87.25% of the standard rate.

In 2008, breeder awards were paid at 80.89% of the standard rate.

In 2000, the amount of Fund revenue available for distribution was less than the total amount of the awards at the standard rates. This shortfall was largely attributable to an improvement in New York-bred performance. As a result of this shortfall, in 2000 stallion awards were disbursed at 95.18% of the standard rates.

In 2001, the stallion awards were paid at 0.39109% over the standard award rates.

In 2002, the stallion awards were paid at 1.00% over the standard award rates.

In 2003, the stallion awards were paid at 1.04096% over the standard award rates.

In 2004, the stallion awards were paid at 1.52934% over the standard award rates.

In 2005, the stallion awards were paid at 1.1575% over the standard award rates.

In 2006, the stallion awards were paid at 1.28625% over the standard award rates.

In 2007, the stallion awards were paid at 1.26574% over the standard award rates.

In 2008, the stallion awards were paid at 1.0374% over the standard award rates. This marks the eighth straight year in which the Fund Board has approved a supplemental award to stallion owners.

2008 OPEN-COMPANY OWNER AWARDS

The Fund allocated 10.18% of its budget for 2008 to pay awards to owners of horses that finished first through third (effective as of 9/1/08) in open competition in races with conditions satisfying the criteria set forth by the Fund. The following shows the total open-company owner awards paid for each year from 1996 to 2008:

Calendar Year (% of Amount Paid Budget) 2008 (10.18%) $1,388,649 2007 (8.97%) $1,340,363 2006 (8.68%) $1,372,430 2005 (9.17%) $1,424,780 2004 (7.98%) $1,145,343 2003 (9.41%) $1,273,002 2002 (9.67%) $1,311,678 2001 (10.91%) $1,458,310 2000 (10.48%) $1,339,376 1999 (8.64%) $1,104,407 1998 (11.35%) $1,394,945 1997 (13.56%) $1,697,698 1996 (11.13%) $1,371,443

In 2000, the amount of Fund revenue available for distribution was less than the total amount of the awards at the standard rates. This shortfall was largely attributable to an improvement in New York-bred performance. As a result of this shortfall, open-company owner awards were disbursed at 95.18% of the standard rates.

In 2001, open-company owner awards were disbursed at 1.15927% over the standard award rates.

In 2002, open-company owner awards were disbursed at the standard award rates.

In 2003, open-company owner awards were disbursed at the standard award rates.

In 2004, open-company owner awards were disbursed at the standard award rates.

In 2005, open-company owner awards were disbursed at the standard award rates.

In 2006, open-company owner awards were disbursed at the standard award rates.

In 2007, open-company owner awards were disbursed at the standard award rates.

PURSE ENRICHMENT

Pursuant to statutory guidelines, the Fund allocated 12.58% of its 2008 budget for the enrichment of purses for New York-bred restricted races at NYRA tracks and Finger Lakes Race Track. The following amounts include 75% of the breakage the Fund received for races that were not simulcast from out of state for purse enrichment at Finger Lakes. This began in July 1994. Purse enrichment was disbursed as follows from 1997 through 2008:

Calendar Year (% of Amount of Enrichment Budget) 2008 (12.58%) $1,715,440 2007 (12.43%) $1,858,457 2006 (13.94%) $2,204,245 2005 (14.48%) $2,248,908 2004 (15.77%) $2,262,870 2003 (16.75%) $2,265,475 2002 (17.29%) $2,345,657 2001 (17.43%) $2,336,630 2000 (18.11%) $2,315,983 1999 (19.13%) $2,445,312 1998 (20.38%) $2,503,822 1997 (21.37%) $2,674,245

In 2008, the New York Racing Association scheduled and ran a total of 761 New York-bred restricted races with total purses of $35,269,800. The year 2008 saw Finger Lakes Racing Association schedule and run 228 New York-bred restricted races with purses totaling $5,124,200.

The high point of our New York-bred restricted race program is New York-bred Showcase Day, which was held at Belmont Park on October 18, 2008. Showcase Day consists of seven scheduled stakes races with total purses exceeding $1,000,000. In addition to Showcase Day, another highlight of the year is our Big Apple Triple, which is a series of three restricted stakes, each held at a different New York track. This series offers a bonus of $250,000 to any New York-bred who wins all three races. The Big Apple Triple consists of the Mike Lee Handicap ($109,700 purse), held at Belmont on June 22nd; the New York Derby ($159,600 purse), held at Finger Lakes on July 12th; and the Albany Handicap ($150,000 purse), held at Saratoga on August 20th. The purses for these three stakes totaled $419,300 in 2008. The Triple received extra attention in 2008, when the since-deceased Tin Cup Chalice became the first horse to sweep the series, earning the $250,000 bonus for his connections.

RACING PROGRAM AND PERFORMANCE

By Michael Veitch

This section compares the racetrack performance of New York-breds with that of other horses at the three New York Racing Association tracks – Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga – for 2008.

The Aqueduct inner dirt track was in use from January 1 to March 30 and December 3 through December 31. Only times in 6-furlong races are used for time comparison purposes, as that is the standard sprint distance on the inner dirt track. Races of 7 furlongs are not run on the surface, and only a few are carded at 8 furlongs.

The best 6-furlong time on the surface in 2008 was 1:09, recorded by Acclimate on February 23. New York champion Bustin Stones was timed in 1:09 2/5 in the Promonroe Stakes on January 21.

The Aqueduct main track was in use from April 2 through April 27 and October 29 through November 30. Times here are compared for distances of 6, 7, and 8 furlongs on the main track.

At 6 furlongs, the best time was posted by Desert Key on April 26, while the best time by a New York- bred (1:10) was recorded by Half Moon Street on April 13. At 7 panels, Mister Nobody was clocked in 1:21 1/5 on April 27, while New York-bred Mor Chances went in 1:22 3/5 in a division of the New York Stallion Stakes series on November 9. At 8 furlongs, or one mile, Harlem Rocker was best at 1:34 2/5 in the Withers Stakes on April 26, while New York-bred Stormin Normandy was timed in 1:35 on April 27.

The Belmont main track was used from April 30 through July 19 and September 5 through October 26.

At 6 furlongs, the best time was recorded by New York-bred On With It, at 1:08 3/5, on October 31. This time was equaled by Sixthirteen on September 14. At 7 furlongs, Not For Money was best on May 23 at 1:20 3/5, while New York-bred Northern Netti came in at 1:21 1/5 in the Bouwerie Stakes on May 4.

The top Belmont mile belonged to Divine Park at 1:32 3/5 in the Westchester Handicap on April 30, while New York-bred Trinity Magic recorded a mile in 1:35 4/5 in the Sleepy Hollow Stakes on October 18.

The Saratoga meeting was held from July 23 through September 1. Times here are compared for 6 and 7 furlongs, as there is no racing at one mile on the main track.

At 6 panels, the best time of 1:08 3/5 was registered by Eternal Star in the James Marvin Stakes on August 9, while New York-bred Rollers went in 1:09 2/5 on August 30.

At 7 furlongs, the best time was recorded by First Defence in the Forego Handicap at 1:21 2/5 on August 30, while New York-bred Megapixel went in 1:22 1/5 while capturing the Van Raalte Stakes on August 14.

There were 209 open races won by New York-breds at NYRA tracks in 2008, up from 197 in 2007. The figure was 173 in 2006, 142 in 2005, and 151 in 2004.

EARNINGS PER STARTER

The past year saw New York-breds again finish third nationally in earnings per starter. The past four years have seen bordering states Pennsylvania and New Jersey achieve dramatic increases in purses. It should be noted that this increase in New Jersey is due largely to the three-year extension of a court settlement that had been scheduled to end in 2007. The settlement for 2004 to 2007 increased purses in the state by $86 million, and the extension should realize an additional increase of $90 million. The rise in purses in Pennsylvania is due primarily to the opening of on-track casinos in the state. It should also be noted that the 2008 average earnings per starter of $20,881 for New York-breds is the state’s highest average since this statistic has been kept.

In 1994, the average earnings per starter for New York-breds was $12,513. By 2008, the New York-bred average had reached $20,881, representing a 66% increase of $8,368 over this 15-year period. The following pages show in detail the yearly New York-bred average earnings per starter, with comparisons to other leading selected states for 1994 through 2008.

In 1994, New York ranked fourth nationally in average earnings per starter in North America.

1st Place Kentucky ...... $15,779 2nd Place Virginia ...... $14,349 3rd Place Florida...... $13,225 4th Place New York...... $12,513

In 1995, New York ranked third nationally in average earnings per starter in North America.

1st Place Kentucky ...... $17,030 2nd Place Maryland ...... $15,168 3rd Place New York...... $14,509 4th Place Florida...... $14,082

In 1996, New York ranked fourth nationally in average earnings per starter in North America.

1st Place Kentucky ...... $18,274 2nd Place Florida...... $15,323 3rd Place Maryland ...... $15,216 4th Place New York...... $14,723

The average 1996 earnings per starter in North America for the following states are included for purposes of comparison.

California...... $9,844 Illinois ...... $10,611 Virginia ...... $12,298 New Jersey ...... $13,652

In 1997, New York again ranked fourth nationally in average earnings per starter in North America. The following is the ranking of the top ten states for that year.

1st Place Kentucky ...... $18,474 2nd Place Florida...... $16,670 3rd Place Maryland ...... $15,994 4th Place New York...... $15,361 5th Place Virginia ...... $13,626 6th Place New Jersey ...... $13,580 7th Place Pennsylvania ...... $13,381 8th Place Illinois ...... $11,909 9th Place Michigan ...... $11,297 10th Place California ...... $10,755

In 1997, the average earnings per starter of $15,361 for New York-breds represented an increase of 4% over the 1996 average. When the fact that owner awards were included in the 1996 New York average is taken into consideration, this increase is even more dramatic. The 1997 average of $15,361 represents an increase of nearly 23% over the New York average earnings per starter for 1994. The 1997 Kentucky average per starter increased by only 1% over the 1996 average.

It should be noted that it is the practice of both Kentucky and Florida to include state-bred owner awards in their purses. New York stopped this practice at NYRA tracks in May 1997, and at FLRA in June 1997. If the owner awards that were paid for 1997 after the payout for the third period were included, the New York average per starter would be $15,784, an increase of almost 7% over our 1996 average per starter. With the owner award factored in, our 7% increase over our 1996 average compares very favorably to Kentucky•s 1% increase over their 1996 average.

The following shows the number of runners, the total number of starts, and the total earnings for the top ten states and Canada in 1997.

* Jockey Club estimate of US and North American foal crop size ** New York foal crop size estimated based on data obtained by the NYS Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund field team

From 1999 to 2008, New York State accounted for 5.7% of the US foal crop and 5.2% of the North American foal crop. The New York foal crop in 2008 totaled 1,888. The 2004 New York foal crop of 2,183 represents the largest crop in the 35-plus years of the Fund’s existence. According to this year’s Jockey Club Fact Book, among the ten largest foal-producing states since 1997, New York has experienced the third-largest increase in production. New York’s growth rate was 56.4%, compared to 16.4% for Kentucky and 19.8% for Florida.

The following charts and data have been taken directly from The Jockey Club Facts Book, with the New York numbers adjusted in accordance with our field inspection records.

2004 Distribution of Registered US Foal Crops by State

Kentucky, which annually leads the list of states producing registered thoroughbred foals, continues to rebound from the effects of MRLS. The number of registered foals born in the Bluegrass State in 2004 approached the 2000 pre-MRLS level of more than 10,100. Kentucky is one of seven states among the top twelve foal producers to increase its production of registered foals since 1994, with New York showing the largest percentage increase. New York has showed the highest growth percentage over the past twelve years.

2005 DISTRIBUTION OF REGISTERED US FOAL CROPS BY STATE

Since the registered thoroughbred foal crop bottomed out in 1995 following nine consecutive years of decline, seven of the top ten foal-producing states have increased their production of registered foals, with New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and New York each increasing their production by more than 50%. Kentucky, which annually produces more registered foals than any other state, continues to approach the 10,000-foal mark last achieved in the year 2000, just prior to the Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome that afflicted the state’s mare population during the spring of 2001.

In the following charts, which are taken from the Jockey Club Online Facts Book, the listing begins with the number of stallions standing in the state. Also included is the number of mares covered by these stallions, starting with the highest number of mares covered in the state, and the average size of the indicated state’s stud book. The following chart shows that Kentucky, Florida, California, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma have larger stallion rosters than New York. Of these seven states, only Kentucky (with an average book of 62.5 mares per stallion), Florida (24.7 mares per stallion), and Maryland (25 mares per stallion) have larger books than New York. New York’s average book was 20.4 mares per stallion in 2008, marking the fifth consecutive yearly increase from 2004 to 2008.

The following report includes 2,814 thoroughbred stallions standing in the United States. These stallions covered 51,176 mares, which makes the average book nationally 18.2 mares per stallion. The number of mares being bred has decreased over the period of 2004 through 2008. In addition, the number of stallions standing has fallen significantly during this period. The number of stallions standing has decreased by 1,162, representing a 25% drop over a five-year period.

Several new sires are either starting their stud careers or have moved to New York State for the 2009 season. They are listed here alphabetically.

Bustin Stones: This is an undefeated Grade 1 winner who begins his career as a 5-year- old. Himself a New York-bred, Bustin Stones won the Grade 1 Carter Handicap and Grade 2 General George Handicap during his six-race career. He descends from the Raise A Native line as a son of City Zip, also a Grade 1 winner who at one time stood in New York. Bustin Stones is out of Shesasurething, by Prospectors Gamble. His family includes stakes winners No No Nona and Split the Tab.

Dark Mystery: The son of Grade 1 winner Mining is a half-brother to multiple stakes winner Crafty Alfel. Mining, another in the Raise A Native line, captured the Vosburgh Handicap and is the sire of Grade 1 winner Roamin Rachel. Dark Mystery’s female family includes New York-bred stakes winner Shuffling Madness, as well as stakes winners Frond and Captor.

Dr. Rockett: This son of champion and top New York sire Regal Classic is a half-brother to multiple graded stakes winner Evening Attire, who won the 2002 Jockey Club Gold Cup.

2008 Registry Compliance Report

The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Corporation’s registry compliance team spent 2008 visiting the more than four hundred thoroughbred breeding farms in New York State. These farms consist of long-established as well as newly opened operations, and also include a number of farms that have been inactive and are again actively participating in thoroughbred breeding.

The farms visited vary in size from large commercial operations that may require several days for identification purposes, to smaller family operations that may only require a few hours to perform the identifications. Many of the larger operations are visited on a number of occasions throughout the year, due to their size as well as to the frequent arrivals and departures of mares and foals.

The Fund’s field-compliance representatives perform more than just the identification processing of mares, stallions, and foals during farm visits. The visits also give the Fund an opportunity to monitor capital improvement projects and expansions of farms. They also provide breeders and farm managers with an opportunity to voice their opinions to the Fund representatives, as well as to make inquiries and obtain vital information regarding both the Fund and the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing Program.

In the process of conducting visits to farms, the team also distributes promotional packages and various forms and applications. If a new farm is being visited for the first time, our field representatives spend additional time explaining the New York-bred program in detail, supported by the promotional handouts that we distribute. Therefore, our field representatives not only serve as information gatherers, but also help to assure farms that the Fund is ready to assist them whenever possible.

A review of our notes and the documentation obtained from the farm visits made by the Fund during the past year make it clear that our industry remains rather healthy in light of the state of the national economy. Besides upgrades of and additions to bloodstock, a number of farms are making capital improvements, such as the building of new structures and the repair of existing ones, the installation or replacement of fencing, and the purchase of new farm machinery. New farms have also been cropping up throughout the state.

During 2008, all active New York thoroughbred farms were either contacted or visited. Each representative is assigned a specific area of the state to enable the development of a rapport with farm owners and/or managers in that region and to establish continuity.

Through our visits, we have found that many farms regularly use the Fund’s website to stay current on the New York State Breeding and Racing Program. The wider use of our website has served to increase the level of communications within the New York thoroughbred farm community. In fact, a number of farms are now advertising on and actively participating in the website.

Respectfully,

Thomas J. Reynolds & Thomas Conley

Fund Field Representatives

NEW YORK-BREDS AT AUCTION

By Michael Veitch

Topped by a $400,000 colt, eight New York-breds grossed $1,330,000 at the Ocala Breeders Sales Company (OBS) two-year-old sale held on Feb. 12. New York sire Read the Footnotes did very well at the sale, with three of his juveniles grossing $400,000, for an average of $133,333. That is an excellent return for a stud fee of $7,500. The top- selling Read the Footnotes juvenile was a $220,000 filly from the family of New York- bred filly Don't Mind Me. In addition, a filly by state sire Freud sold for $110,000 at this auction.

The strong showing by New York-bred juveniles continued at the Fasig-Tipton Calder two-year-old sale held on Feb. 26, as all five sold hit the $100,000 mark or higher. Topping the Fasig-Tipton group was a $230,000 filly from the family of graded stakes winner Orange Sunshine. New York sire Hook and Ladder was represented at Fasig- Tipton by a $120,000 colt from the family of New York-bred Keesler, a stakes winner at Finger Lakes.

The OBS juvenile sale held on March 18-19 saw six New York-breds hit the six-figure mark, topped by a $350,000 colt. He is a half-brother to Long Distance, winner of the New York Stallion Stakes. Also at this sale, a colt from the family of talented New York- bred Shesastonecoldfox, winner of the New York Breeders Futurity, was sold for $195,000.

At the Tattersalls Craven juvenile sale in England held on April 17, a New York-bred colt from the family of champion filly Heavenly Cause was purchased for $750,000.

As the OBS juvenile season continued in mid-April, a son of Hook and Ladder sold for $120,000. Named Stately Chief, he is from the family of graded stakes-placed runner Silvardara. Another son of Hook and Ladder went for $92,000 at this sale, while a son of Freud sold for $80,000 and a filly by New York sire Desert Warrior went for $65,000.

The OBS June sale of two-year-olds saw two of the top three prices of the entire sale garnered by New York-bred fillies. The sale-topper, at $250,000, was from the family of stakes-placed Britten's Beauty, while a filly from the family of champion Talking Picture sold for $170,000.

A filly by Mr. Greeley, purchased for $500,000, topped the New York-bred contingent at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale in August. She is a half-sister to New York-bred stakes winner Jesse's Justice. Five New York-breds in this sale grossed $975,000. The annual New York-bred Preferred Yearling Sale followed the select session, with a top price of $250,000 for a colt who is a half-brother to stakes winner North Beach Condo from the family of Carter Handicap winner On The Line. This sale produced a record average of $54,390 for 100 sold, with a half-sister to the popular New York-bred champion Naughty New Yorker going for $200,000.

At the Keeneland September yearling sale, a New York-bred colt sold for $190,000 to top its respective session at the marathon auction. He is from the same family as the above- mentioned juvenile at the Tattersalls sale.

Promotion and Advertising

In 2008, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund continued its promotion and advertising campaign using print media and the Internet. The Fund’s website, nybreds.com, also continues to be maintained and improved, and serves as a valuable asset to both breeders and owners. By eliminating venues that have not proven to be cost-effective, we have concentrated our promotional campaigns in areas that better reach our target audience, in order to highlight our success, provide information on how to participate in the Program, promote special New York-bred racing events, and increase awareness of the awards distributed by the Program.

In 2008, the Fund continued its Stallion Cooperative Campaign, which was introduced in 1997. This campaign was designed to provide an incentive to New York farms and or stallion principals to better advertise their advertising efforts of promoting registered New York stallions. The Fund extends the opportunity to have the Fund reimburse the stallion owner 25% of the cost for ads placed which bear the New York Breeding and Racing Program and the advertising catch phrase, “GET WITH THE PROGRAM – NEW YORK-BREDS.”

In 2008, OTB’s Big Apple Triple series was swept for the first time ever by Tin Cup Chalice, who was trained by Michael A. Lecesse and owned by Lecesse and Scott Van Lear. The owners received a $250,000 bonus for sweeping all three races. New York City OTB, Capital OTB, and Nassau Downs OTB participated in the promotion, and representatives from each OTB were on hand to present the winners with their check at Saratoga Race Course, the site of the final leg of the series.

In addition to the Stallion Cooperative Campaign, the Big Apple Triple series, and other promotional activities throughout the year, the Fund has also continued to support the efforts of New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc.

RECENT EVENTS IN SELECTED STATES

By Michael Veitch

Slots revenue enriched the purses and state incentive awards at the 2008 Hoosier Park meet in Indiana. A dozen restricted races for Indiana-breds saw purses double from $50,000 to $100,000 per event, while the added money per race on daily cards for Indiana-breds increased by $3,000. Breeder and owner awards equaled 20 percent of purses, while stallion awards equaled 10 percent of purses.

Louisiana Champions Day at Louisiana Downs offered eight stakes races worth a total of $750,000 last year, with races in all divisions for state-breds on turf and dirt. The three other Louisiana tracks, Evangeline Downs, Delta Downs, and Fair Grounds, also offer similar programs. The purses for the four days total approximately $3.5 million.

With revenue streaming in from slots, the Pennsylvania breeding program is growing rapidly. More than 20 new stallions were scheduled to join the state stallion roster for the 2009 breeding season. Further, the Pennsylvania incentive program neared the $22 million mark, up from $4.6 million in 2004.

Late-season races for juvenile state-breds are customary for many states with incentive programs. The New York Breeders Futurity remains among the most lucrative, having been worth $318,525 in 2008. The California Cup series in October was worth $125,000 for juvenile males and females, while the Charles Town series of juvenile events carried purses of $100,000. The Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes was worth $75,000, while the Louisiana Futurity was worth $108,185.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

By Michael Veitch

The increasing quality of New York-breds racing in open company was in evidence throughout 2008.

Giant Moon got things underway with a victory in the Count Fleet Stakes at Aqueduct, one of the New York stops on the road to the Triple Crown. The same month, Z Fortune captured the Grade 3 LeComte Stakes at Fair Grounds, to remain unbeaten at that point in three outings.

In February, Bustin Stones won the Grade 2 General George Stakes at Laurel. He would later close out his career with a 6-for-6 record by winning the Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct. Bustin Stones is now a New York-based sire.

The outstanding older runner Commentator won the Grade 2 Richter Scale Handicap at Gulfstream Park in March. He would later win his second Grade 1 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga, a race he is being pointed for again in 2009. At Aqueduct, Sweet Vendetta won the Andover Way Stakes. Another graded winner of note was Big Truck, who took the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby at Tampa Bay Downs.

The consistent filly Weathered won the Lizzy Cool Stakes at Aqueduct in April. She also captured the rich Susan's Girl Stakes at Delaware Park in a subsequent start. Weathered was joined by Sherine, winner of the Grade 2 Comely at the Big A that month, and Icabad Crane, who captured the Tesio Stakes at Pimlico before hitting the board in the Preakness Stakes.

Speaking of the Preakness, it was run on May 17, the day on which Pays to Dream won the Grade 2 Dixie Handicap at Pimlico on the Preakness Day card. Another Grade 2 win by a New York-bred came in the National Hunt Cup, which was won by Be Certain, while By the Light won the Pearl City Stakes at Aqueduct.

In June, on Queen's Plate Day at Woodbine, Mission Approved won the Grade 3 Singspiel Stakes on grass. Extra Sexy Psychic, by leading state sire Freud, won the Cozy Lace Stakes at Presque Isle Downs. Other open victories by state-breds during the month included a win by Dagnabit in the historic Tremont Stakes, and by Chestoria in the Mariensky Stakes, both at Belmont.

The good turf filly I Lost My Choo, by New York sire Western Expression, won the Grade 3 Virginia Oaks at Colonial Downs in July.

In August, the now-deceased Tin Cup Chalice, by state sire Crusader Sword, became the first winner of the Big Apple Triple, which provided a $250,000 bonus. The series consists of the Mike Lee at Belmont, the New York Derby at Finger Lakes, and the

Albany Handicap at Saratoga. Tin Cup Chalice also won the Grade 2 Indiana Derby in 2008. Also at Saratoga, Remarkable Remy won the Caveat Competor Stakes on turf.

The classy turf mare J'ray won the Grade 2 Canadian Stakes at Woodbine in September, the fourth graded victory of her career. She retired at the end of 2008 following a solid performance in the La Prevoyante Handicap. Another open win was recorded by Doremifasollatido in the Grade 2 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park. Commentator won the rich Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs, while Rollers won the Gallant Bob Stakes at Philadelphia Park.

In October, Canadian Ballet won the P. G. Johnson Stakes at Meadowlands, while My Magic Moment won the Missymooiloveyou Stakes at Belmont Park.

In November, Get Serious captured the Alysheba Stakes at the Meadowlands, and Wishful Tomcat won the Grade 3 Discovery Handicap at Aqueduct. Weathered won another open stakes in the Kamikazie Rick Stakes at Aqueduct.

In December, Borrowing Base won the historic Ladies Handicap at Aqueduct.

CLIMATE AND SOIL CONDITIONS OF NEW YORK STATE

The promotion and expansion of the thoroughbred industry in New York would not be possible without the abundance that nature has provided to our state.

Breeders find New York State ideal for the development and growth of thoroughbred horses. The climate is cool and temperate, and the annual rainfall of approximately 37" is distributed evenly throughout the year. As a result, New York ranks among the leading states in many farming activities.

The topography of New York varies greatly, from the mountainous areas upstate to the upland and coastal plains. Two things remain constant throughout the state, however – fertile soil and plentiful water. These two factors enable highly active grass, cereal, and fruit production, and in the areas where they combine with the limestone subsoil they promote the growth of pasture land the equal of any in the world.

New York State ranks as a leader in the US in the production of various types of hay, apples, and milk. In that respect it is very much like other areas around the world renowned for thoroughbred breeding, including the Normandy region of France and the green pastures of Ireland.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE GENESEE VALLEY BREEDERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

By Dr. Joseph C. O’Dea

Thoroughbred breeding in the Genesee Valley developed in the early 1880's through the efforts of Austin Wadsworth, Thomas Hitchcock, N.G. Lorillard, Samuel S. Howland and his wife, Rickie, the daughter of August Belmont, and others. In 1885, Howland organized the first Genesee Valley Horse Fair and Hunt Races, which will see its 115th renewal in the year 2000.

The breeding of Thoroughbreds and all of the horse sport developed rapidly on the fertile limestone soil and in 1914 Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth founded the Genesee Valley Breeders Association, Inc., an agricultural endeavor devoted to the breeding of horses the produce of Thoroughbred sires. The Association flourished through the years and the Genesee Valley Horse Fair, moved to Avon by Mrs. Wadsworth and the GVBA, has become internationally famous.

In 1935 The Jockey Club which had been actively supportive of the breeding endeavors in the Genesee “bluegrass”, purchased and assumed the operation of the Lookover Stallion Station at Avon. It was the continuation of a cordial and mutually supportive relationship which has endured for over 40 years. In the early 1960's, the Genesee Valley Breeder’s Association accepted responsibility for the operation of the Station and the management of the twelve Thoroughbreds sires standing there and eventually purchased it from the Jockey Club. Lookover continues the tradition of Thoroughbred breeding as a private stud farm.

When the Finger Lakes Race Track was built in 1961-62 with the active encouragement of the GVBA, it made possible a New York-bred racing program. In those days the number New York-breds were few, less than 10% of the horse population. In 1999 the population there was 77% due in large measure to the GVBA and the State Fund Program. It is generally held that Finger Lakes Race Track has endured because of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund’s program.

In order to validate that a horse was a New York-bred, the author founded the New York Thoroughbred Registry and invested its management and proceeds in the GVBA. In time, the New York Breeder’s Futurity; then the two Futurity prep race, the Aspirant and the Lady Fingers. New York-bred racing was here to stay.

As the sport at Finger Lakes developed under the guidance of the GVBA, breeders in the Hudson Valley and Long Island formed the Eastern New York Thoroughbred Breeders Association. During the chairmanship of Joseph Gimma of the old Racing Commission, a Breeders Bureau was developed within the Commission to aid the development of Thoroughbred breeding. With the support of the GVBA and ENYTBA, legislation was introduced and the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund was signed into law.

The Genesee Valley, centered at Geneseo, comprises Livingston County and the adjoining counties from Erie on the west to Oneida on the east and from the Pennsylvania border on the south to Lake Ontario on the north. It is a limestone rich area of strong native bluegrass. It is without a doubt the ideal horse breeding area of New York State. The strong grass, the bountiful forage and grain crops, the horsewise infrastructure, low taxes and a broad-scope equestrian sport in the area makes the GVBA territory not only the best but also the most practical locale in New York State in which to breed Thoroughbred Horses.

Much of the affluence which Thoroughbred breeding in New York enjoys today is directly attributable to the Genesee Valley Breeders Association and the spirit in which it has conducted and continues to conduct its activities.

EQUINE RESEARCH

The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund Corporation gives two percent of its total annual revenue to the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. In 2008, the Fund remitted the sum of $272,000.

The board of directors of the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund consists of Dean Donald Smith of Cornell and of representatives of New York’s thoroughbred and harness racing industries. The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund is currently represented on the Zweig Board by three members of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund’s board: John Sabini, Chairperson, Mr. Philip Trowbridge, and Dr. William B. Wilmot.

At the annual meeting of the Zweig Fund, various equine research proposals are reviewed and evaluated. The Board then decides which proposals will be funded and at what level. Below is a list of the research projects in which our remittance will be used, as well as the guidelines of the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund. In addition, there is an overview of the recent accomplishments of the research programs supported by the Zweig Fund.

FURTHER SECURED FUNDING FROM RESEARCH AWARDS IN 2008

Research funded by the Zweig program continues to provide core support for faculty in securing funding to aid equine research. The following grant award resulted from Zweig funding in 2008:

Dr. Gary Whittaker “Emergence and Establishment of Influenza Virus in Equines” sponsored by the NIH-University of Rochester

Project Period: 3/30/07-3/29/14 Amount of Award: $420,335

Dr. Whittaker was awarded $5,000 from the Zweig Memorial Fund’s Incentive Program upon support from the NIH-University of Rochester. A report from Professor Whittaker on the use of these funds is provided below.

The $5,000 Incentive Award, awarded in May of 08 in conjunction with my Zweig Award, “Emergence & Establishment of Influenza Virus in Equines” was made based on the use of Zweig funds to support preliminary experiments that in turn supported the award of an NIH contract entitled, NIAID Centers for Excellence of Influenza Research and Surveillance” from the University of Rochester. The NIAID centers comprise a nationwide network of laboratories, for which one of the goals is to respond to a new influenza pandemic. While human and avian viruses are well represented among the network, my laboratory is the only one with an active interest in equine influenza. As such, I am pleased to report that equines will be represented in this network, via the involvement of my laboratory. Thank you for the award it has proven to be very useful for my research program.

Dr. Alan Nixon “Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Targets in Joint Disease as Check-Points for Gene Inhibition” sponsored by the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Grant Foundation Inc.

Project Period: 4/1/08-3/31/10 Amount of Award: $147,328

Dr. Nixon’s was awarded $5,000 from the Zweig Memorial Fund’s Incentive Program upon support from the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Grant Foundation, Inc. Dr. Nixon has provided the following report on the use of the funds.

The Zweig Incentive award monies were utilized to expand the study of interleukin gene silencing in chondrocytes and cartilage to include cultured bone marrow derived stem cells. The concept aims to repair damaged cartilage surfaces using differentiated stem cells, and employs gene silencing motifs generated in the Zweig project to enable better stem cell based cartilage repair in clinical grafting. Supplies and reagents were purchased to allow an undergraduate student and a PhD student to examine the ability of stem cells to control the flux of cytokines when confronted with reactive joint environments. Dose response of LPS (bacterial cell wall derivative to create cytokine response) showed optimal dosing of LPS (Fig 1). The gene delivered IL-1 suppression through IL-1 silencing then verified gene knockdown in these cultured stem cells (Fig 2). This has provided data that will aid grafted cells survive after populating articular defects in an attempt to control joint degradation.

Fig 1. Characterizing the MSC cytokine model. Cultured MSCs were exposed to increasing concentrations of LPS and corresponding increases in IL-1 are shown.

Fig 2. Interleukin proliferation in cultured MSCs exposed to LPS (LPS only), compared to MSCs receiving the gene for IL-1 silencing (LPSpSirenDX), where the IL-1 flux has been substantially quelled by gene silencing, making these MSCs more capable of surviving the hostile environment in a stem cell grafted arthritic joint.

Bettina Wagner, DVM, PhD Harry M. Zweig Assistant Professor in Equine Health

At the November 20, 2008 Annual meeting, Dr. Bettina Wagner was appointed as the second Harry M. Zweig Assistant Professor in Equine Health. A copy of the press release follows. Her three-year appointment is for the period January 1, 2009 through December 1, 2011.

Bettina Wagner Named Zweig Professor

Dr. Bettina Wagner, assistant professor of immunology at the College of Veterinary Medicine, has been named the Harry M. Zweig Assistant Professor in Equine Health. The three-year term endowed position recognizes a junior faculty member who shows promise and productivity in the field of equine research.

Dr. Wagner’s research focuses on equine immunology. She studies the regulation of the immune system and the relationship between the innate and adaptive immune responses. The innate immune system is the horse’s first line of defense against invading organisms while the adaptive immune system acts as a second line of defense as well as protecting the horse from re-infection from harmful pathogens. Funded with grants from the USDA and the Zweig Fund for Equine Research, Dr. Wagner’s lab is credited with developing several reagents that are available to the global research community. Reagents are used in immunological procedures to detect, measure, or examine the innate immune response in health and disease. The new tools are used in the lab to study the immune response to Equine herpesvirus type I and the mechanisms leading to immunity and protection from disease in foals.

“The new immune reagents have the potential to revolutionize the field of equine immunology,” said Dr. Wagner, who began riding horses at age 12 and is pleased to have found an opportunity to combine two of her passions: horses and research. “We were not able to look at many functions and cellular responses of the equine immune system because we did not have the tools to do so. The reagents facilitate scientific exploration in areas such as neonatal immunology, inflammatory and infectious diseases, vaccine development, and equine allergies.”

Equine research, according to Wagner, has often been limited by both funding and the availability of reagents. Her approach to immunological research in horses - by developing essential tools -allows her to support her own research and that of others in the equine research community as well.

“The new reagents and technologies we have developed enable us to detect the cellular immune response and will improve therapeutic and preventative treatments for horses,” said Dr. Wagner. “Through the basic and applied research that these reagents drive, equine health will be strengthened.”

Dr. Wagner is the director of the serology section at the New York State Animal Health Diagnostic Center at Cornell. She obtained her DVM degree and habilitation (PhD) in Hannover, Germany and spent several years researching and teaching at the Institute of Genetics in Cologne and at the School of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover. In 2002, she came to Cornell University as a visiting scientist to work on projects in equine genetics at the Baker Institute for Animal Health. In 2004, she became a senior research associate at the Baker Institute, and in 2006 was hired as an assistant professor in the Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences.

Established in 2005, the Harry M. Zweig Assistant Professor in Equine Health is given to a junior faculty member who shows promise and productivity in the field of equine research. Dr. Julia Flaminio was named the 1st recipient of the award. Dr. Flamino provides the following:

“The Harry M. Zweig Assistant Professor in Equine Research Chair has facilitated the establishment of a research program in equine immunology at Cornell University that combines my training in both science and medicine. This award helped me to go beyond basic research and build a sustainable program that supports the study of important issues that affect the equine industry. We have been changing the timid presence of clinical immunology in the veterinary curriculum, and bringing greater attention to this discipline through didactic and clinical teaching, graduate training, clinical consultations, presentations of clinical immunology topics in national and international meetings, publications of research and applied-research articles in peer-reviewed journals, and contributions with book chapters.“

Dr. Flaminio will present her findings at the 2009 annual meeting.

CORNELL CLINICAL FELLOW IN EQUINE HEALTH

At the 2007 Annual meeting, the Harry M. Zweig Committee approved the allocation of funds to help support a Cornell Clinical Fellow in Equine Health. Dr. Sophy Jesty was selected as Cornell’s 1st Clinical Fellow, supported in part by Zweig funds. See article in the Zweig Newscapsule (Appendix D). Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine’s new two-year Clinical Fellows Program is the first in the country to address a growing shortage of academic veterinarians who conduct research on animal diseases and basic biology. The program is designed to help students meet the financial and time demands of qualifying for a position in veterinary academic medicine, which has traditionally required students to complete an M.S. or Ph.D. after they finish their doctorate in veterinary medicine (DVM). Newly minted DVM’s graduate with loans of $80,000 on average. The two-year program, available to veterinarians who have completed a three-year residency, offers an annual salary of $50,000 plus benefits and an additional $15,000 per year to fund a research project.

2008 Progress Report (November 3, 2009)

Title: “Modeling Equine Pulmonary Disorders in Vitro: Epithelial-derived proteins and inflammatory airway disease.”

Investigators: Dorothy M. Ainsworth DVM PhD DACVIM (Principal investigator) Hollis N. Erb DVM PhD (statistical consultant) Claudia L. Reyner (CALS 2009, Pre-vet Student)

Hypothesis: Equine Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD), a disorder of young athletic horses characterized by accumulation of mucus and granulocytes in tracheobronchial fluid, can be modeled in vitro.

Objectives: 1. Establish differentiated equine bronchial epithelial cell cultures in vitro. 2. Determine functional responses (gene expression) of cells to ligands likely to be encountered by the airway epithelial cells of the horse in vivo including autologous blood (EIPH), autologous serum (EIPH), hay dust and lipopolysaccharide (hay dust, infection). 3. Describe morphological and immunohistochemical features of cell cultures exposed to these ligands.

Progress to date: Ms. Claudia Reyner, a pre-vet student is assisting with this project.

1. Primary bronchial epithelial cell cultures and differentiated epithelial cell cultures (air- liquid interface) have been established from lung tissues extracted from 3 horses thus far. Cultures have been exposed to 4 log dilutions of hay dust; 3 log dilutions of autologous blood, autologous serum and 2 log dilutions of LPS. One additional treatment that has been added was the inclusion of human recombinant IL-17 (2 log dilutions) to determine if this protein up-regulates chemokine (IL-8, CXCL2) and mucus (MUC5AC, MUC5b) expression. Over the next 2 months, cell cultures from 4 additional horses will have been established and exposed to the same ligands. [NB: In order to reduce the number of horses that would be euthanized, we elected to delay the start of this project so that we could utilize horses that were involved in another study. That study has now been completed.]

2. Gene expression studies: To reduce variability, the gene expression studies will be conducted on batched samples, once all cell cultures have been treated. Primer and probes have been validated for IL-8, CXCL2, TLR2, TLR4, IL-1R2. The remaining primers and probes (MUC5AC, MUC5b, β- defensin, Cath1, ICAM-1) have been designed and are ready to be ordered. Note: CXCL2 was sequenced this summer by Ms. Reyner and the sequence will soon be submitted to GenBank.

3. Histopathological analysis: Tissue blocks have been collected and stored for 3 of the horses: Once the remaining tissue blocks have been obtained from the other 4 horses, this section of the study would be undertaken.

2008 Final Report

P.I.: Dr. Sylvia Bedford-Guaus Title: Characterization of Equine Phospholipase C Zeta (PLC) as it Related to Stallion Fertility Project Period: 1/1/08-12/31/08

A final report is provided.

PROGRESS REPORT: FOR RENEWAL APPLICATIONS ONLY (Not to exceed 2 pages) A Zweig proposal was submitted in 2007 to “characterize equine phospholipase C zeta (PLC ) as it relates to stallion fertility”. We proposed to study PLC because it plays a central role in the fertilizing ability of sperm 2+ by inducing [Ca ]i oscillations that direct embryonic development following fertilization (reviewed by Kurokawa et al., 2004). The long term goal of this research is to be able to apply our knowledge about equine PLC expression, activity and quantification to assess and predict stallion fertility. In our previous proposal we hypothesized that equine PLC is a sperm-borne factor that is central to oocyte activation and thus is a crucial marker for stallion fertility. To test this hypothesis we proposed three Specific Aims (SA): SA 1 - To characterize the activity of equine PLC in oocytes. Our hypothesis was that equine PLC RNA 2+ induces [Ca ]i oscillations in oocytes. 2+ Because the role of PLC in all mammalian species studied thus far is to initiate the intracellular Ca 2+ oscillations ([Ca ]i) that trigger embryonic development of the fertilized oocyte, an essential component of our 2+ research is to characterize the specific [Ca ]i-releasing activity of equine PLC . Previous work in our 2+ laboratory has shown that mouse PLC complementary (c)RNA supports [Ca ]i oscillations, activation and embryonic development in mare oocytes (Bedford et al., 2006, 2008). However, rates of advanced embryonic development were low in this study, presumably due to inherent differences in PLC sequence and activity between species. Due to the fact that our previous proposal was only partially funded with the request of obtaining further preliminary data prior to resubmission, this part of our research has not yet been undertaken. This specific aim has been further revised to include new findings in our research (see experimental approach). SA 2 - To determine the expression pattern of equine PLC throughout the testis, and in immature, freshly ejaculated and capacitated stallion sperm. Our hypothesis was that expression of PLC would be observed in more mature cells of the sperm producing lineage and that the expression pattern would change when comparing epididymal, freshly ejaculated and capacitated sperm. To test this we used specific anti-PLC antibodies raised against the N-terminal region of porcine PLC to label sections of fixed equine testicular tissue, and epididymal (immature), freshly ejaculated and capacitated sperm using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence techniques. Interesting results emanated from these experiments: 2a. PLC is expressed only in the later stages of the spermatogenic A B lineage. Immunohistochemistry on sections of testicular tissue from mature stallions A B revealed that only spermatogenic cells forming an acrosomal cap nearest to the lumen of the seminiferous tubules displayed PLC expression. These cells correspond to round and elongating spermatids, and fully differentiated spermatozoa (Fig.1). Interestingly, mouse round C D spermatids are unable to initiate activation when injected into oocytes (Kimura and Yanagimachi, 1995). Our results suggest physiological differences in the timing of

PLC expression between the horse and the mouse. We plan to further investigate our findings by injecting stallion round spermatids into oocytes to 2+ E F monitor [Ca ]i signaling. E F

2b. PLC is localized to the acrosomal, equatorial segment and flagellum of stallion sperm (Fig.2). Localization to the equatorial segment or post-acrosomal region is in agreement with previous reports in hamster, mice and bull sperm (Yoon and Fissore, 2007; Young et al., 2008). Additionally, Young et al. (2008) reported Fig. 1: Im mu nohisto chem istry for PL C in PLC localization over the acrosomal region in hamster and mouse sperm. equine testicular t issue (630X ).

2008 Final Report

P.I.: Dr. Yung-Fu Chang Title: Vaccination Against Equine Leptospirosis Project Period: 1/1/08 - 12/31/08 A final report is provided.

PROGRESS REPORT: FOR RENEWAL APPLICATIONS ONLY (Not to exceed 2 pages) Applicants submitting requests for continuing support are required to submit a summary of progress made during the past year. The report should list the objectives proposed in the previous year and the extent to which those objectives were accomplished. Reasons for deviating from the originally proposed research should be explained. List publications in refereed journals, symposia, and/or abstracts. Unpublished results also may be included.

1. Evaluation of protective immunity of Leptospira immunoglobulin like protein A (LigA) DNA vaccine against challenge in hamsters. We demonstrated earlier that immunization with recombinant Leptospira immunoglobulin like protein A (LigA) induced significant protection against virulent L. interrogans serovar Pomona challenge in hamsters. However, the protective immune mechanism remains unclear. In the present study we demonstrated the protective efficacy of a LigA DNA vaccine and evaluated the immune mechanism underlying the protection against leptospirosis in hamsters. The LigA DNA vaccine was constructed in two truncated forms as a conserved portion (LigAcon) and a variable portion (LigAvar). Three-week-old hamsters were immunized three times at two-week intervals with vector alone or an equal amount of a recombinant construct containing either LigAcon or LigAvar. All animals were challenged intraperitoneally two weeks after 8 the last immunization with a lethal dose (10 ) of virulent L. interrogans serovar Pomona. Prior to challenge, four animals were sacrificed, the spleen was removed aseptically, and splenocytes were assayed for lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine profiles in response to recall antigen. The protective efficacy was evaluated on the basis of survival and histopathological lesions in the kidney. The immuno-protective mechanism was assessed on the basis of Th1/Th2 profile of cytokines in immunized animals. Our results indicate that immunization with LigA DNA vaccine provides significant protection against leptospirosis. We suggest that immuno-protection is conferred by both humoral and cellular immunity as revealed by an increase in antibody titers during subsequent boosters as well as a significant enhancement of Th1 cytokines (IL-12, IFN-γ). Taken together, the present study suggests that a LigA DNA vaccine is a 1 promising candidate for prevention of leptospirosis .

2. Immunogenicity and protection of the recombinant Leptospiral immunologic proteins as vaccine candidates. We focused on 12 putative OMPs that had no homology with other organisms listed in the NCBI database except MceI and MceII of Leptospira which display ~25% homology to that of Mycobacterium tuberculosis MceI. All putative OMPs were cloned, expressed and purified as glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins. Primary screening for immunoprotective potential was performed in hamsters challenged with an LD50 inoculum of low passage serovar Pomona. The fusion proteins rLp1454, rLp1118 and rMceII were found to be protective when compared rGST administered to hamsters as the negative control. All these recombinant proteins were evaluated again for protective efficacy based on lethality, histopathological lesions and antibody responses. rLp1454, rLp1118 and rMceII induced protection as far as lethality is concerned. Histopathological analyses of rLp1454, rLp1118 and rMceII immunized animals showed renal lesions of lesser severity thaqn those found in rGST-immunized animals. To improve the protective efficacy, three recombinant protective antigens were evaluated in combination with rGST and rLigA as negative and positive control, respectively. Our results indicate that rLp1454, rLp1118, and rMceII showed protection individually and in combination against serovar Pomona infection. Our results indicate the utility 2 in developing a functioning multicomponent vaccine for leptospirosis .

3. Recombinant Leptospira Immunoglobulin-Like Protein B (rLigB) protects hamsters against lethal Leptospira interrogans infection. Leptospiral Immunoglobulin like protein (LigB) was truncated into conserved (LigBcon) and variable (varB1, varB2) fragments and expressed as GST/His-tag fusion proteins. Four-week-old hamsters were immunized with equal amounts of each construct individually or combined in alum adjuvant at day 0 and 21 and subsequently challenged three weeks after the booster with 2.5 LD50 live virulent L. interrogans serovar Pomona. Our results demonstrate that immunization with LigB produces strong humoral immune responses as revealed by high titers against each fragment and significant enhancement in Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-10). A significant activation of CMI is revealed by enhanced proliferation of lymphocytes and up regulation of Th1 cytokines (IL-12p40, IFN-γ). Of the peptides studied, LigBcon was able to impart maximum protection

(71%), followed by VarB1 (54%), whereas VarB2 was not able to impart a significant level of protection (33%) against lethal infection as revealed by enhanced survival and reduced severity of histopathological lesions in vital organs (viz. kidney, liver, spleen) of the immunized animals. Moreover, concurrent administration of all three fragments significantly enhanced the protective efficacy of the vaccine (83%). Overall, our results clearly 3 demonstrate that LigB has emerged as novel protective antigen that can be used in future subunit vaccines against leptospirosis .

4. Variable region of Leptospira immunoglobulin like protein A (LigAvar) incorporated in Liposomes and PLGA-Microspheres produces a robust immune response correlating to protective immunity against challenge in hamsters. Subunit vaccines are attractive as an intervention strategy against leptospirosis, an important zoonotic disease afflicting both humans and livestock. However, the success of subunit vaccines has been hampered by weak or short term immunity and unavailability of nontoxic, potent adjuvants. In the present study, the variable region of recombinant Leptospira immunoglobulin like protein A (LigAvar) incorporated into conventional liposomes and PLGA microspheres produced robust immune responses that induced significant protection against virulent L. interrogans serovar Pomona challenge in hamsters. Four-week-old hamsters were immunized subcutaneously with LigAvar incorporated into conventional liposomes or adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide (alum) and subsequently boosted after three weeks. Additionally, LigAvar incorporated into PLGA microspheres was evaluated as a single dose vaccine. All animals were challenged intraperitoneally three weeks after booster with a lethal dose (10 X LD50) of virulent L. interrogans serovar Pomona. Animals were bled at various time points to evaluate antibody response, then sacrificed. Splenocytes were isolated and assayed for lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine profiles in response to recall antigen. Our results indicate that both liposomes and microspheres prove to be better adjuvants compared to conventional alum as revealed by enhanced antibody titers, lymphocyte proliferation and significant enhancement in both Th1(IL-12, IFN-γ) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines. Moreover, antigen associated with liposomes and microspheres is able to provide better protection than antigen with alum as revealed by enhanced survival and reduced histopathological lesions in vital organs. Taken together, the data of the present study suggests that both liposomes and PLGA microspheres are promising adjuvants for use with future subunit vaccines 4 for prevention of leptospirosis .

5. Calcium binds to Leptospiral immunoglobulin-like protein, LigB and modulates fibronectin-binding. Pathogenic Leptospria spp. express immunoglobulin-like proteins, LigA and LigB, which serve as adhesins to bind to extracellular matrices and mediate their attachment on host cells. However, nothing is known about the mechanism by which these proteins are involved in pathogenesis. We 2+ demonstrate that LigBCen2 binds Ca as evidenced by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, energy dispersive spectrometry, 45 2+ 2+ Calcium overlay, and mass spectrometry though there is no known motif for Ca -binding. LigBCen2 binds four Ca as determined by 2+ MALDI-TOF. The dissociation constant, KD, for Ca -binding is 7 μM as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry and calcium 2+ competition experiments. The nature of Ca -binding site in LigB is possibly similar to that seen in the βγ-crystallin superfamily, since structurally, both families of proteins possess 2+ the Greek key type fold. The conformation of LigBCen2 was significantly influenced by Ca -binding as shown by far- and near-UV CD, and by fluorescence spectroscopy. In the apo form, the protein appears to be partially unfolded as seen in far-UV 2+ 2+ CD spectrum and upon Ca -binding, the protein acquires significant β-sheet conformation. Ca -binding stabilizes the protein as monitored by thermal unfolding by CD (50.7°C to 54.8°C) 2+ and by differential scanning calorimetry (50.0°C to 55.7°C). Ca significantly assists the binding of LigBCen2 to 2+ the N-terminal domain of fibronectin and perturbs the secondary structure, suggesting the involvement of Ca in adhesion. We demonstrate 2+ 2+ that LigB is a novel bacterial Ca -binding protein and suggest that Ca -binding plays 5 a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of leptospirosis .

PROJECT TITLE:

Factors affecting airway stability at exercise: A combined neuroanatomical, clinical and engineering methodology

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Norm G Ducharme, Jeremy J Rawlinson

LAY SUMMARY:

The upper airway of horses is subjected to large stresses (pressure and airflow turbulence), which may cause the larynx (voice box) and the nasopharynx (area in front of voice box) to collapse during exercise. These two main upper airway areas are the subject to collapse in horses during exercise because they are not supported by bone and require muscle stabilization. Some form of nasopharyngeal collapse is estimated to affect 10 to 20% of racehorses (Standardbred and Thoroughbred) and laryngeal collapse (roaring or paralyzed flapper) reportedly affects 3- to-8% of Thoroughbreds. Laryngeal collapse is not limited to racehorses but is also similarly prevalent in Warm Bloods and is seen in up to 42% of draft horses. Recently we have been able to demonstrate that collapse in the voice box changes the wall pressure in the nasopharynx linking these two conditions- treatment of one should take into considerations treatment of the other. The purpose of this study is to develop more integrated and effective treatments for these two conditions targeting a restoration of normal airway size and function with fewer complications. Indeed, complications after surgery can be quite significant and include feed aspiration into the windpipe and coughing. Use of a combined approach will avoid later duplication in terms of animal use and funding. For years, we have been able to measure the speed of airflow at the nose and airway pressures in one area of the windpipe of horses at exercise and then test the effect various treatments have on those parameters in horses exercising on a high- speed treadmill. This has led to incremental increases in treatment success for horses with “throat problems.” Success is defined here as a percentage of horses returning to race competition and a level of earnings (purse money) equivalent to pre-disease levels – a very different measure from restoring normal airway patency. Furthermore, some treatments are initially successful but fail after a few months, presumably because of cyclic loading on the repair or the wall in the adjacent part of the airway. This indicates that knowing windpipe pressure or airflow speed at the nose without identifying airflow patterns (i.e. “eddy” currents) and the wall pressure along every aspect of the upper airways is insufficient. In addition, the minimum degree of voice box opening required to restore “normal” airway function has not been determined. Recently, collaboration with a Biological and Environmental Engineering program headed by Professor Datta has generated a validated computer model that has provided important insight into how air flows through the horse’s upper airway. This has highlighted regions in the airway of high wall pressure and turbulence in horses at exercise and the effects when an area like the voice box is restricted. This has opened up exciting possibilities for new treatments. For example, we knew that laryngeal hemiplegia restricts the diameter of the voice box, but we now know that it also affects the increase wall pressure in the nasopharynx at specific locations. This information will allow areas susceptible to collapse because of this altered wall pressure to be reinforced. Beyond new treatment approaches, it became evident that equine investigators and surgeons must now redefine successful treatment to include minimizing wall pressures that lead to airway collapse while restoring the normal airway pressures and airflow speed. The contribution of all collapsible sections of the upper airway to the stability or instability must now be considered. The biomechanical consequences and respective dysfunction of palate displacement and roaring are interrelated and must be considered in conjunction with functional and biomechanical data to expose potential new treatments. In this proposal, we plan parallel, interlinked studies to increase our understanding of factors contributing to upper airway stability (both palate and voice box).

We now know the magnitude of forces present on the collapsible walls of the upper airway (voice box and nasopharynx) but we do not know the normal structural capacity of those walls (i.e. compliance), what forces act on the structures that stabilize the walls, and how the voice box and nasopharynx interrelationship provides strength or weakness to the walls. To develop more effective treatments, we need to understand the stiffness these walls require to resist collapse and understand more the mechanisms that stabilize the overall upper airways (palate and voice box) at exercise. The study proposed will acquire some information through live animal studies and some through biomedical testing on cadavers followed by computer modeling. The larynx will be the first focus to investigate the structural properties needed to resist collapsing forces. In this area, we know the dorsal cricoarytenoid (DCA) muscle resists collapse where it attaches to the muscular process on the flappers (i.e. arytenoid cartilages). This is akin to opening a door in a wind tunnel. We know how much force is on the wall due to the wind, but we do not know how much force is needed on the door handle to open it, the amount of force needed to open the door at different degrees, nor the actual strength of the door (e.g. wood versus fiberglass versus metal). Regarding the voice box, we do not know the force acting on the muscular process (i.e. door handle) at various degrees of opening; and we do not know the biomechanical properties of the arytenoid cartilage (flapper). MRI images of the voice box with the flapper opened to different degrees of abduction will enable us to construct a three-dimensional model of the flapper’s relationship with that joint and other laryngeal cartilages. Biomechanical analysis to determine the material properties of the cartilage will then be performed using fresh specimens from horses euthanized for reasons unrelated to airway disease. Computer modeling will be performed next to determine the forces applied to the laryngeal cartilage, the amount of deformation or bending, and the specific forces acting on the muscular process (i.e. door handle). Potentially, this would help in the design of stabilizing implants that would be biocompatible and not cut through the cartilage, a problem that has plagued the common tie-back surgery treatment for roaring. Parallel studies aim to increase knowledge about the factors and mechanisms that stabilize the nasopharynx by inducing collapse (palate displacement) at exercise utilizing a new physiological finding that focuses on the hypoglossal nerve and increasing stiffness of the palate. In a recent breakthrough, soft palate displacement in horses at exercise was reproduced by a specifically located block of the hypoglossal nerve. The anatomical and physiological function of the hypoglossal nerve in humans with snoring and sleep apnea bears much resemblance to palate displacement in horses. The muscle(s) responsible for nasopharyngeal collapse will be identified by electromyelography (EMG) of horses at exercise prior to and after hypoglossal block. This will provide the lines of action of the muscle forces for computer modeling. The effects of increasing stiffness of the palate upon collapsibility and downstream effects to other areas of the airway will be evaluated. In addition, the resulting change in position of the voice box and hyoid apparatus (bones that suspend the voice box) after the block is made will be characterized by radiography and CT scan. This biomechanical and fluid dynamical modeling information will then be entered into our computer model to understand how these mechanisms provide stability. In summary the proposed studies will answer the following questions. What are the material properties of the arytenoid cartilage, including the muscular process (door handle), and what are the forces acting on the muscular process? What would be the best biomechanical implant on the muscular process to neutralize these forces? How does a horse’s voice box position influence palatal instability? Does the voice box position cause a change in soft palate stiffness and is the palate stiffness irrelevant to airway stability?

PROGRESS REPORT: A) Our aims are progressing forward as presented in our originial proposal. Aim 1. Determine the effects of selected muscles (hyoglossus, genioglossus, styloglossus, and geniohyoideus) activity on laryngohyoid conformation and nasopharyngeal stability by in-vivo studies using imaging (radiography and CT) and a treadmill stress test to collect airway pressures EMG, and video endoscopic images. Aim 2. Determine cricoarytenoid joint movement using MRI studies and determining the biomechanical properties of the laryngeal cartilages and soft palate by testing laryngeal cadavers. Aim 3. Measure palatal stiffness and the maximal physiological increase possible by implants to test how changes in soft palate stiffness and laryngohyoid position affects upper airway wall pressures using a computer fluid model. Aim 4. Determine the ideal implant for stabilizing the larynx using biomechanical modeling to quantify the direction and magnitude of the forces acting on the muscular process. B) Aim 1: Experiment 1. Two pairs of stainless steel bipolar EMG electrodes were implanted using a conventional technique in two mature thoroughbred horses. A perineural catheter (Arrow Stimucath, Arrow International, Reading,PA) was placed bilaterally immediately adjacent to the hypoglossal nerve lateral to the ceratohyoid bone and secured. Three days following surgery both horses were evaluated to check implant placement and to make test recordings from the EMG electrodes. In one horse the left perineural catheter was dislodged. When the catheter was tested five days after surgery the catheter had become blocked with fibrin and could not be flushed. In the second horse one catheter become dislodged and the other clogged with fibrin within two days of surgery and the experiment was discontinued. As a result of this pilot study we determined that the surgical placement of perineural catheters, while technically straightforward, is not a reliable method for inducing dysfunction of the hypoglossal nerve as the catheter may dislodged or become clogged with fibrin. At this point we determined that we needed greater anatomical knowledge of the equine hypoglossal nerve. Isolated tongues from eight mature horses were dissected to determine the distal anatomy and branching of the equine hypoglossal nerve. Using this information, a peripheral nerve location technique was used to perform bilateral block of the common trunk of the hypoglossal nerve. Nasopharyngeal stability at exercise was determined using videoendoscopy of the upper airway and measurement of tracheal and pharyngeal pressure. Three main nerve branches were identified: medial and lateral branches; and a discrete branch which innervated the geniohyoid muscle alone. Bilateral hypoglossal block induced nasopharyngeal instability (Dorsal Displacement of the Soft Palate) in 7/15 trials. None of the control trials resulted in DDSP (p<0.01). The mean speed (± se) at the onset of DDSP was 11.1±1.1 m/s. Expiratory pharyngeal pressure was lower in the trials with DDSP than in the matched controls (p<0.05), suggesting expiratory airway obstruction and deviation of airflow through the mouth. These data suggest for the first time that stability of the equine nasopharynx at exercise may be mediated through the hypoglossal nerve. Experiment 2. A radiographic reference system (Cheetham 2008) was used to determine the effect of a hypoglossal block on laryngohyoid position and the effect of surgery on the position of the basihyoid bone and the larynx ( thyrohyoid-thyroid articulation and ossification at ventral aspect of thyroid) in seven horses. Following hypoglossal block the thyrohyoid-thyroid articulation was 6.2mm more dorsal (95%CI 0.7-11.7mm, p=0.03). There were no other significant differences in the positions of the references points. Taken together these experiments suggest that the hypoglossal nerve has an important role in stabilizing the equine nasopharynx and that this effect may be mediated through positioning of the laryngohyoid apparatus and so alteration of the relationship between the palate and the larynx. Aim 2: To determine cricoarytenoid motion and laryngeal biomechanical properties. Experiment 1. A single prosthetic laryngoplasty suture was placed in a standard fashion in one cadaver Thoroughbred larynx. The whole larynx was imaged in the resting state (1.3 Tesla, 0.7 mm slice thickness). The larynx was then rescanned at increasing levels (n=8) of abduction until maximal abduction was reached. These images were then reconstructed and the movement of the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage plotted against abduction in three dimensions. These data are now being correlated with arytenoid movements viewed endoscopically in a live horse and will give valuable information on the sliding and rotational components of the cricoarytenoid joint. Experiment 2. Gross dissection was performed on horses euthanized for other reasons to obtain laryngeal specimens. These specimens were then either frozen within 90 minutes or further dissected to produce both

biopsy samples (6mm diameter x 1mm height) or beam samples (40mm x 5mm x 1-2mm). Frozen samples were stored at -20 degrees C for approximately 3-4 weeks, then thawed, and further dissected. Two larynges were cut in half before freezing so that one half was tested fresh and the other after freezing. Samples were stored in phosphate-buffered saline with protease inhibitors prior to testing. The mechanical properties of the cricoid and arytenoid are being determined using an Enduratec ELF3200 testing frame and confined compression and flexural (bending) tests. Cartilage maintains its structural integrity by sharing an applied load between the water in the tissue and the tissue itself. Eventually, the fluid flows out depending on the permeability of the tissue, leaving the solid to support the load. The confined compression test measured the load necessary to first compress the specimen and then maintain this reduced height as water flowed from the tissue. Using a porous indenter, the machine applied step-wise reductions in disc height of biopsy specimens. An exponential model was used to capture the permeability and the equilibrium load for each step. Over all steps, a linear fit at equilibrium produced the aggregate modulus of the tissue. Currently, we have tested specimens obtained from 7 larynges for cricoid cartilage and 3 larynges for the arytenoids. To date, the arytenoids were significantly less stiff (t-test, p<0.01) than the cricoid cartilage; mean aggregate modulus was 0.32 ± 0.18 MPa for the arytenoids (n=8 discs), and 2.2 ± 0.62 MPa (n=21 disc) for the cricoid. An additional assumption that we are currently testing is whether the tissue has large regional variations in compressive properties. Preliminary analysis of our cricoid testing indicates relative homogeneity within the dorsal region from rostral to caudal. Cored samples from the rostral, middle, and caudal sections yielded mean aggregate moduli in confined compression of 2.0±0.63, 2.2±0.51, and 2.4±0.61 MPa, respectively. Pooling these data produced the mean modulus reported above in the comparison to the arytenoid, but, in a one-way analysis of variance of these regional data for the cricoid, there was no statistically significant variation of modulus (p=0.24) from caudal to rostral. One problem that has arisen with the tissue testing concerns the flexure samples for beam bending tests. Due to difficulty in tissue handling, producing consistent beam samples has proven imprecise in that thickness variations of 0.25 mm over the length of the beam has produced variations in compressive moduli from the theoretical model that assumes uniform cross sections. Currently, we are assessing the possible use of a freezing stage microtome to yield more consistent specimens. Secondly, the imaging dataset that was originally slated for use as the reconstruction model did not have a high enough resolution to capture the geometry of a small cricoarytenoid joint. This month, however, we redesigned our scanning protocol with a larger specimen used in ongoing Aim 1 to capture higher resolution sections of the cricoid and arytenoids. These scans will be further processed as in Aim 4 to calculate the three-dimensional congruity of the joint, produce joint motion, and assess precision. C) Aim 3. Measure palatal stiffness and the maximal physiological increase possible by implants to test how changes in soft palate stiffness and laryngohyoid position affects upper airway wall pressures using a computer fluid model. We have developed an ex vivo model which simulates airflow during exercise at high speed in horses. We have used this model to test a palate implant (Pillar Palatal Implant System, Restore Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN) in the soft palate of the six cadavers. This preliminary testing has demonstrated that the current implant is too short. We have communicated this to the manufacturer and the implant is in the process of being redesigned. We plan to test the improved longer implant in our second year of funding. The mechanical testing of palate tissue will continue, utilizing the same protocols that we are using for the laryngeal cartilage. With these data and new implant specifications, the fluid dynamics model will be updated to simulate the airway pressures and determine changes with respect to stiffness and position. Aim 4. Determine the ideal implant for stabilizing the larynx using biomechanical modeling to quantify the direction and magnitude of the forces acting on the muscular process. To compute the forces and motion of arytenoid articulation, the material properties of the cartilage will be introduced into the geometric model of the laryngeal cartilage. As noted above, the 3D model we were originally using for this purpose was sufficiently refined for computing the data in the first part of Aim 2, but not for the geometry at the cricoarytenoid joint. We are actively processing this model to differentiate the cartilage, muscle, and joint geometry. The cartilage will be converted to a volumetric mesh with the testing material properties and a contact model will be incorporated given the at the cricoarytenoid junction. The structural analysis will compute the level of force in the suture, and load transfer to the underlying cartilage for given levels of abduction.

PROJECT TITLE: (Not to exceed 100 characters)

The phagocyte response against R. equi in foals.

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): M. Julia B.F. Flaminio, Ute Schwab and Daryl Nydam

LAY SUMMARY: Provide the original lay summary from last year’s award. If it has changed, an updated summary may be included. Susceptibility to R. equi pneumonia in foals is exclusive to the first 2-3 months of life. This bacterium causes severe pneumonia, enteritis and occasionally joint infection, with significant economic losses to the horse industry, and critical concerns about equine health and well-being. R. equi is prevalent in the horse environment (soil), and foals are exposed to it immediately after birth. Importantly, R. equi survives and replicates inside immune cells (macrophages); therefore, this bacterium has developed a mechanism to escape the immune system and cause disease.

Our hypothesis is that phagocytes of the susceptible foal have impaired killing activity against R. equi because of inadequate signaling from the airway epithelial cells.

Our previous studies funded by the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund for Equine Research revealed that specialized phagocytes present an age-dependent limitation in their activation, which may be a consequence of inadequate stimulus. This age-dependent development of the immune system of the foal may be involved, at least in part, in the exclusive susceptibility to disease in early life. We know from studies in mice that efficient intracellular killing of R. equi is dependent on the activation of phagocytes by immune mediators (cytokines), for the generation of pathogen killing products. Cytokines can be produced by both immune cells and respiratory epithelial cells.

We would like to include in our studies the cells of the respiratory tract that encounter the bacterium in the early stages of infection. We will test the direct effect of cytokines on the immune cells for killing of R. equi. In addition, we want to learn how the epithelial cells that line the respiratory tract signal phagocytes for the presence of R. equi. The failure of these cells in the foal may lead to the progression of the infection and development of the disease. Achieving these aims will readily enhance our ability to understand this disease, such that it can be prevented and managed more effectively.

Objectives of this Proposal: In this proposed investigation, we will: 1) test the capacity of foal phagocytes to kill R. equiin the presence or absence of cytokines in culture. We will measure bacterial survival, and the generation of pathogen killing products by the foal phagocytes, and compare those to adult horse cells. 2) examine how the function of phagocytes is affected by contact with the airway epithelium and, conversely, the modulation of epithelial cells by the presence of phagocytes and R. equi. For this purpose, we have already established a three dimensional laboratorial model of equine bronchial epithelial tissue, which expresses a fully differentiated cell phenotype with ciliary beating and mucus production. This is a very unique model that utilizes excess tissues from horses in necropsy, therefore with no need to euthanize animals for this purpose. This system will allow us to make observations of the phagocytic and bactericidal capacity of macrophages in living airway tissues from foals and adult horses. Bacterial survival and the generation of pathogen killing products by phagocytes will be measured as above. In addition, we will determine the cytokines produced by macrophages and epithelial cells.

233

Importance for the Horse Industry: The results of this study may elucidate the limiting factors in protection against R. equi disease in young foals. The understanding of the faulty mechanisms may guide future studies for the prevention of disease, including modulation of the immune system of the foal. Conventional vaccines for Rhodococcus equi have been designed and tested, but result in only marginal protection early in life. Therefore, the identification of an effective means to augment the immune system of foals soon after birth (for instance, an immunostimulant) would reduce the period of susceptibility to pathogenic organisms, and the chances of disease. This project will attempt to identify the areas of the immune system of the foal that are not competent to fight R. equi infection. The information from this study will support future investigations on prophylaxis for R. equi infection in the young foal.

PROGRESS REPORT: (Not to exceed 2 pages) The report should include the following: A) State the Specific Aims as actually funded. Our hypothesis is that phagocytes have impaired microbicidal activity against R. equi because of inadequate signaling from the airway epithelial cells of the susceptible foal. This proposal investigates the efficiency of the first line of defense against R. equi: the cells that populate the respiratory tract. Those cells comprise phagocytes (neutrophils and macrophages), ciliary beating and mucus producing epithelial cells. The mechanisms of activation of phagocytes against R. equi in this environment are poorly understood. In addition to direct contact with the pathogen, activation of phagocytes may require signaling from airway epithelial cells, including ciliary beating and mucus producing cells. Those signals, mediated by soluble or cell surface molecules, increase the ability of phagocytes to remove and kill bacteria in the respiratory tract. The specific aims of our 2-year study are to: 1) test the capacity of phagocytes to kill R. equi in the presence or absence of cytokines in culture. 2) examine how the function of phagocytes is affected by contact with the airway epithelium and, conversely, the modulation of epithelial cells by the presence of phagocytes and R. equi.

B) Describe the studies direction, positive and/or negative, toward the specific aims during the current budget year and the results obtained. In this first year, we worked on developing and characterizing the in vitro systems to be applied to our experimental questions. Figure 1 depicts oxidative burst activity (OBA) of neutrophils infected with R. equi measured by flow cytometry. We learned that nonopsonized (NONOPS) R. equi induced low OBA in phagocytes, whereas opsonized (OPS 10% or 40% with hyperimmune plasma against R. equi) bacteria induce greater activity (phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) was used as a positive control). Therefore, OBA is significantly increased when bacteria are efficiently internalized (promoted here by the opsonization with antibodies), in comparison to nonopsonized bacteria. Similar results were obtained with monocyte-derived infected macrophages.

Np alone Using an R. equi strain 103S luciferase-expressing construct from Dr. James Graham laboratory (University of Louisville), we were able to measure bacteria viability (in the presence of luciferin (substrate), bacteria activity (viability) is measured using a luminometer). The results suggest that macrophages are more efficient in killing bacteria when 10 or 40% plasma opsonization is performed. In agreement with these experiments, the production of TNFα is greater in macrophages infected with 10% or 40% plasma opsonized bacteria. 300 Figure 3 (right) - Opsonization of R. equi also 60 Figure 2 (left) promotes greater activation of macrophages with 0 200 - R. equi TNFα production. viability in

after growing isolated respiratory cells on porous supports placed at air-liquid interface. Over the last year, we have successfully studied the topology of the airway surface liquid interface using a nonaqueous fixative (OsO4 solution dissolved in a perfluorocarbon FC-72) that preserves airways mucins in situ. After fixation, samples were processed for epoxy resin embedding, and sections prepared for light microscopy. This technique allowed us to

demonstrate a thick mucus layer covering the epithelium (Figures dCiliate cells A Gobl C 4 B and C). et Basal Mucus In addition, this in vitro model of equine bronchial cell cells epithelial cells allowed us to examine phagocytic capture of live R. ebranMem B Mucus equi in mucus by confocal microscopy. Adult horse monocyte- derived macrophages were labeled with CellTracker™ Green CMFDA, and R. equi with CellTracker™ Red CMTPX. When we added the phagocytes and bacteria (MOI 1:10) to the apical cell Figure 4 - Equine bronchial epithelial cells cultured on membranes developed into mucin producing surface of the epithelium (established from adult horse bronchial (goblet) and ciliated cells.

Still, after 3h of incubation, phagocyte-adhered and ingested bacteria were seen as demonstrated by the co-localization of live bacteria within live macrophages resulting in yellow stained areas (Figure5 lower panel). We also succeeded in showing live phagocytes transmigrating across the airway epithelium in the more physiologic basolateral-to-apical direction. We inverted the transwell with bronchial epithelial cells while maintained in medium. Phagocytes were then placed on the bottom side of the membrane and allowed to attach for 60 min. After the inserts were inverted back to their original orientation, the airway epithelium was infected with R. equi and incubated for 3 h. Figure 5 upper panel shows a sequence of optical sections (z- stack) collected at different levels from the epithelium using computer controlled stepping in the Z (vertical) direction by preset distances. These images confirm that phagocytes (green) are able to migrate from underneath the membrane, through the pores of the Figure 5 - Series of sections of z-stacks of live macrophages membrane, to the apical surface of the epithelium to capture R. (fluoresce green) migrating from underneath the membrane through equi. Indeed, we found single macrophages, which also the epithelium (upper panel) and of a single macrophage with migrated through the intracellular R. equi 103S (fluoresce red, lower panel); airway epithelium brightfield. epithelium, with intracellular bacteria (Figure 5 lower panel). We are currently in the process of capturing images of various areas of the epithelium for quantitative assessment of bacteria- associated phagocytes. Finally, we were able to establish an improved method for quantitating bacteria- associated phagocytes, and the number of intracellular bacteria. After incubation with R. equi, macrophages were harvested from the epithelial surface and fixed in 1% glutaraldehyde (instead of 4% paraformaldehyde as proposed in our original grant Figure 6 – Macrophages proposal). With the new method, the cells could be embedded in epoxy, sections stained with intracellular R. equi. with Richardson, and the bacteria clearly identified as demonstrated in Figure 6. C) Summarize your plans to address the Specific Aims during the next year of support. Based on the data presented herein, we have developed in vitro systems to measure R. equi cell infection or phagocytosis, bacteria viability, phagocyte activation (OBA) and signaling (TNFα). Importantly, we have also developed an in vitro model to study the interaction of respiratory epithelial cells, R. equi and phagocytes. We learned that opsonization of bacteria improves phagocyte bacterial killing and signaling. Now we will test if the addition of cytokines will improve such cell function in the absence of effective opsonization of bacteria (which is possible in the airways of a naïve foal). Our preliminary data using IFNg in this system suggest that this cytokine alone may not activate phagocytes at the same level as opsonization. Therefore, we will add lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from ultraviolet inactivated E. coli as a second signal for the phagocytes. This approach is commonly used in the study of immunity against other types of bacteria, including Mycobacterium.

Most excitingly, our microscopy data using adult horse tissues clearly show that macrophages are able to migrate through and capture R. equi present in the airway epithelium. We will now be able to apply the same technique for imaging foal monocyte-derived macrophages in the presence of in vitro generated foal airway epithelium to determine whether there are differences in the phagocytic activity of foal macrophages. We also harvested supernatants from our airway epithelial cultures for cell-cell signaling (TNFα) measurements. These results are quite promising, and we are currently writing a manuscript describing this unique equine in vitro model.

2008 Interim Report

P.I.: Dr. Lisa Fortier Title: Characteristics of Stem Cells Derived from Bone Marrow Aspirate, Adipose Tissue and Muscle Project Period: 1/1/08-12/31/08 Extension Period: 1/1/09-7/31/09 Dr. Fortier was awarded a no cost extension until July 31, 09. An interim report is provided.

PROGRESS REPORT: The present proposal is a request to extend funding beyond the current budget period. The proposal “Characteristics of stem cells derived from bone marrow aspirate, adipose tissue and muscle” was submitted in 2006 for two years of funding. The committee noted that the proposal was well written and in an area of important research. However, a major concern was that the proposal was overly ambitious. Funding for Year 1 was approved with a recommendation that if Year 1 studies proved successful, then a second year of funding would be considered. Indeed, we just recently completed the studies proposed in Year 1 and a no-cost extension is in effect. There were no substantial scientific obstacles which delayed our timeline, the proposal was simply, as the committee noted, overly ambitious. In addition, the studies in this proposal became the focus of Catherine Radcliffe’s Ph.D. work. While performing the studies, she was also fulfilling course requirements, and successfully completed the certifying examination of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.

We have successful completed the studies outlined in Year 1 of the original submission where our aim was To establish a cell surface molecular marker profile for identification of stem cells in bone marrow aspirate, adipose tissue, and muscle. Using flow cytometry of native and enriched cell population, we have generated a panel of antibodies which can be used in combination to identify stem cells from bone marrow aspirate, adipose tissue, and muscle (Table 1). Stem cells were enriched using combinations of ficoll separation to remove erythrocytes, carbonyl iron to remove neutrophils and monocytes, and/or magnetic-based tandem affinity chromatography to selectively retain cells with certain cell surface markers. Our premise is that stem cells are identified as those cells positive for at least two cell markers and negative for at least two cell markers listed in Table 1. In addition to identifying suitable antibodies, and positive/negative control for these flow cytometry assays, we have successfully cloned the genes for the antibody proteins for use in the present proposal. Novel sequence data files have been submitted to Genbank (accession #’s, EF442070 for CD13, EF442071 for CD29, EF576851 for CD45, and EF576852 for CD172a). Portions of the CD44 and CD14 gene were also cloned and agreed with previously reported data (AF200416 for CD14 and X66862 for CD44).

Further results obtained from the studies performed in Year 1 are presented below:

Preliminary Data Flow cytometry: In our preliminary studies, we developed a cell surface marker profile for equine MPCs using bone marrow aspirate as the source of MPCs (Figure 1, and Table 1 in Progress Report). Data from cultured bone marrow aspirate demonstrates that equine MPCs grown in culture label positively for CD172a, CD29, CD44, and CD90. They are also negative for CD14, CD45, and CD11a. Cells with no antibody exposure and cells exposed to mouse anti-parvo (MxP) antibody were used as negative controls. The MxP antibody verifies no non-specific cross reactivity with the secondary fluorescent antibody is present. The flow cytometer is calibrated so cells with no antibody exposure are less than 2% positive. The increase in percentage of positive cells following MxP exposure should also be <2% above unlabeled cells. The 5 CD29 antibody is conjugated with PE; all others are labeled with FITC secondary. All cells (1 x10 ) are read with each sample to prevent bias in gating. Percentage of positive cells is measure in the gate where cells are dividing as identified by a propidium iodide assay.

For example, bone marrow aspirate samples were separated using Ficoll density separation to remove erythocytes, and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) with an equine anti-CD14 antibody was performed (Figure 2).

morphology remaining. C)CD14 positive fraction A B C (macrophages/monocytes are CD14 positive); this allows for early removal of macrophage and monocyte fractions. An additional technique uses an incubation of bone marrow aspirate with carboneal iron prior to density gradient centrifugation. This eliminates the majority of phagocytic cells from the sample (Figure 3).

Taken together, our preliminary data suggest that equine MPCs can be identified and isolated based on their molecular markers. The studies outlined in this proposal are intended to further examine the unique molecular characteristics and differentiation capacity of the subpopulations within the larger MPC pool derived from bone marrow aspirate, muscle, and adipose tissue.

PROJECT TITLE: Indices of Intra-abdominal Fibrinolysis in Colic Foals: Pathogenic and Prognostic Markers

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Dr. Susan L. Fubini

LAY SUMMARY: Provide the original lay summary from last year’s award. If it has changed, an updated summary should be submitted.

Acute abdominal disorders are common in adult horses and foals. However, published case series and clinical experience reveal that the prognosis for foals following abdominal surgery is less favorable than for adults. The poor surgical outcome for foals is largely due to the formation of intra-abdominal adhesions.

Intra-abdominal adhesions form following an injury to the lining of the abdominal cavity or to the intestine itself. The nature of injury varies, and can include parasite-induced or traumatic disruption of blood supply to the intestine, dietary indiscretions, foreign material in the abdominal cavity, and traumatic or surgical insult to the delicate intestinal wall.

While the inflammatory reaction is necessary and integral to the healing process, inflammation leads to the deposition of sticky inflammatory material (fibrinogen) that matures into a firm meshwork of fibrous strands if not completely cleared by the process of fibrinolysis. The fibrous strands can subsequently limit mobility or completely entangle the bowel, leading to pathologic adhesions that obstruct or “kink” the intestine. This can lead to another colic episode with risk of decline in the horse’s condition or the need to re-operate, and ultimately to death or euthanasia.

We recently conducted a small pilot study (supported by The Dean’s Fund) to examine indices that measure fibrin deposition and lysis in the abdominal fluid and plasma of foals <6 months of age. The study consisted of 3 groups: healthy foals (n=6), foals euthanized because of a non-abdominal inflammatory process (n=6), and foals having colic surgery (n=3).

In spite of low numbers, we found that foals with colic had a dramatic increase (11 fold) in the fibrinogen concentration of their abdominal fluid. This finding was statistically and clinically significant because fibrinogen is the immediate precursor of fibrin, the substance that forms fibrous adhesions. We also found that the measurable indices that promote and result from the breakdown of fibrin (plasminogen and D- dimer) were increased by only two-fold in the colic group. These results indicate a shift in hemostatic balance within the abdomen favoring fibrin deposition. In contrast to the differences in peritoneal fluid fibrinolysis, the values obtained from blood samples did not significantly differ between colic foals and the other 2 groups.

Our pilot study in foals showed some similarities and some differences with previous studies of adult (1) horses. A study by Collatos and coworkers found that adult horses with colic had significant increases in abdominal fluid fibrinogen and plasminogen levels compared with healthy controls. However, the magnitude of increase for these two indices was proportionate in adults. Furthermore, adult horses had a small relative increase of abdominal fluid fibrinogen (2 to 3 fold), compared with the foals’ observed 11- fold increase in abdominal fibrinogen (in our study).

243

Our findings suggest that high fibrinogen in the abdomen of foals with colic provides an excess of substrate for fibrin formation, while at the same time the foals’ abilities to lyse or clear fibrin is less effective than adults. This would ultimately put foals at risk for intra-abdominal adhesions and further complications.

In our proposed project, we aim to confirm the findings of our pilot study by increasing the number of healthy and colic foals evaluated. In addition, we will compare our foal data with that obtained from adult horses, using consistent sample collection and assay procedures. (Given the different methodologies in previously published reports, it is difficult to make valid comparisons using historical data.) In this larger sample set (n= 40) we will also examine the relationship of the various laboratory indices of fibrinolysis with the clinical outcome of the adult and foal colic cases. In contrast to assays performed on blood samples, direct measures of abdominal fibrinolysis may provide more clinically relevant data to develop prognostic indicators and ultimately guide post-surgical management of equine colic.

PROGRESS REPORT: (Not to exceed 2 pages) The progress report should include the following:

The broad objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that colic induces dysregulation of fibrinolysis in horses and that the resultant hemostatic imbalance is more pronounced in foals than adult horses.

Our specific aim is to measure indices of fibrinolysis (fibrinogen, plasminogen, D-dimer, antiplasmin) in paired plasma and peritoneal fluid samples from adult horses and foals, from both normal animals and those presented for colic. We aim to recruit 20 healthy horses (10 adults, 10 foals) to establish reference values, and 20 horses (10 adults, 10 foals) with colic in a 2-year study period. We plan to determine if there is any difference in fibrin deposition and clearance between the different age groups and disease states.

B) Work to Date and Future Plans

We have been collecting plasma and abdominal fluid from horses less than 6 months of age. This includes “normal” foals that are being euthanized for life threatening problems (fractures, neurologic disease, severe limb deformities) and foals presenting with abdominal pain that are subjected to a ventral midline celiotomy.

In this study period we have made one change in laboratory assay procedures: a new, quantitative D-dimer assay has been substituted for the previously utilized semi-quantitative D-dimer test. The new assay is an automated turbidometric assay using commercially available monoclonal antibodies bound to latex beads (Hemosil D-dimer, Instrumentation Laboratories). This assay method yields a specific value, rather than concentration range. In human medicine, quantitative immunoturbidometric D-dimer assays are accurate indicators of systemic thrombosis and are used in clinical diagnostic algorithms. The increased sensitivity and accuracy of this new D-dimer test will improve our ability to assess abdominal and systemic fibrinolysis, and our data will provide new information on clinical utility of quantitative D-dimer monitoring in colic foals.

We have encountered problems in obtaining samples from all eligible cases, especially when Dr. Watts and Fubini are not directly involved with admission and case management. To help increase clinician awareness of the study and increase case enrollment, we have posted study contact information, sent reminder emails, and reminder announcements in rounds and staff meetings. We decided recently to start a raffle for a nice dinner as an incentive program for samples collected or brought to our attention.

244

Nevertheless, we are close to our targeted recruitment goals. As of September 2008 we have collected a total of 10 foals with abdominal disorders (6 of which had strangulating obstructions- we would like to secure at least 4 more- we have one being processed) and 8 true “normal” foals. We have 5 “normal” adults being processed. We anticipate being able to secure more adult samples easily as our original emphasis was on foal samples.

Results to date show that when compared with healthy animals, foals with colic had a significant increase in their peritoneal fluid fibrinogen (6 fold increase) and plasminogen (2.5 fold increase) and a trend of increased peritoneal D-dimer and antiplasmin.

Based on the lack of significant increases in D-dimer in the plasma of foals with colic in the face of significantly elevated peritoneal plasminogen and fibrinogen, it appears that fibrinolysis may be down- regulated in the foal with colic which is in contrast to published data in adult horses with colic. These differences may help to explain an apparent increased risk of intra-abdominal adhesion formation following abdominal surgery in foals.

We intend to finish data collection by June 2009 and be ready to present the data at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons meeting in October of 2009 in Washington, DC.

Future work in the pathophysiology of foal and adult horse colic will focuson the effects of intra-abdominal inflammation on systemic hemostatic balance. The Coagulation laboratory has recently acquired a global hemostasis analyzer (thromboelastograph) and the instrumentation to measure thrombin generating potential. These sophisticated tools and techniques hold promise for better defining hypercoagulable syndromes and may ultimately have clinical applications in identifying horses at risk for adhesion formation, thromboembolism, laminitis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This would be of tremendous benefit when determining appropriate therapy for critical clinical cases.

Significance to the Equine Industry

In the current study, we aim to identify characteristics of foal fibrinolysis that favor intra-abdominal adhesion formation following abdominal surgery. This may ultimately improve clinical decision making in treating the foal with colic; providing owners and breeders more clear cut data regarding treatment and prognosis. Like every good study, other questions surface along the way. Our data from this study will generate new hypotheses regarding the interplay of inflammation and hemostasis in horses. Further investigation and new approaches are urgently needed to improve clinical outcomes for horses with inflammatory syndromes that lead to the catastrophic complications of laminitis and DIC.

PROJECT TITLE: Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Targets in Joint Disease as Check-Points for Gene Inhibition

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Alan J. Nixon

LAY SUMMARY: Provide the original lay summary from last year’s award. If it has changed, an updated summary should be submitted.

Athletic horses often start to develop insidious concussive joint erosions as the intensity of training and competition increases. The early warning signs in 2-year-old racehorses include joint fluid build-up and pain on manipulation of the affected joints. Alert trainers treat these signs by changes in exercise patterns and intensity, cold therapy, oral anti-inflammatory agents, and occasionally systemic joint medication. Rarely, flaking and chip fragmentation of the joint surface requiring surgery develops. As 3- to 4-year-olds, actual cartilage loss limits the response to most therapies. Steroids are introduced to more potently quell the symptoms, but often accelerate structural damage to the joint and can lead to insidious arthritic degradation with increasing pain and dysfunction. Estimates of the annual cost of joint injury and arthritis to the equine industry approach $100 million. It has become increasingly clear that control of arthritis will not progress until we understand the key degradatory cytokines in equine joint disease. Prevention of arthritis is the major focus of our research in cell- based cartilage repair using growth factor gene or protein methods to drive healing of traumatized joints. Research in the investigator’s laboratory has focused on both cartilage and adult stem cell transplants, bolstered by growth factor composites added at surgery. Application of mixtures of cartilage cells and IGF-1 has been used in over 120 equine cases suffering from stifle, shoulder, fetlock, and knee injuries and developmental syndromes such as OCD. However, these systems add cells and growth factors to stimulate cartilage cell function, but do not quell the enzymes and degradation pathways that continue to erode the joint surface. Osteoarthritis has a complex of precipitating traumatic causes. However, it follows a common pathway after perturbation of cartilage homeostasis, with proliferation of degradatory enzymes and other inflammatory proteins that erode the joint.

Figure 1. Acute stifle injury often leads to chronic degeneration and arthritis, with meniscal tearing and joint surface erosions (left). The number and type of degradatory enzymes and other destructive agents in equine joint disease that weaken and fibrillate the cartilage (right), are largely unknown. This grant profiles these agents, develops mechanisms to control their flux, and tests them separately and in combination.

Our research program aims to better understand the fundamental interaction of these inflammatory mediators in acute joint injury, chronic surface erosion and chip fracture, and subsequent arthritis. Targeted treatment with cytokine gene silencing may halt the progression from joint surface injury and fragmentation to

arthritis. Two cytokines, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), are thought to be the principal messengers of destruction in arthritis. Our previous work suggests that controlling IL-1 through overexpression of its own natural inhibitor or gene silencing through IL-1 RNA interference restores cartilage function for several weeks. Despite the benefit of local knockdown of the IL-1 gene product (before it can be synthesized into the active cytokine), our studies indicate continued expression of other degradatory players such as TNF-α may partly account for the poor recovery of suppressed cartilage structural components. The current proposal will examine the fundamental interactions of cytokines in natural joint disease, develop a tier of inflammatory targets for treatment, examine the repercussions of single gene knockdown on other cytokine profiles, and finally develop multimodal gene silencing constructs that may provide a comprehensive therapeutic product. We hypothesize that numerous inflammatory cytokines and enzymes are elevated in arthritis and that IL- 1 and TNF are the master regulators, both of which need to be silenced before cartilage structural genes can function to rebuild cartilage matrix. Our previous studies show catabolic IL-1 gene fluxes can be controlled in articular tissues by gene knockdown. Despite reduced IL-1 formation, our experiments show a recalcitrant suppression of cartilage component formation, essentially failing to rebuild the damage to the joint surface. This grant will examine the fundamental interactions of degradatory cytokines in natural joint disease, develop a tier of inflammatory targets, examine the repercussions of single gene knockdown on other cytokine profiles, and finally develop multicomponent gene silencing constructs that may provide a therapeutic modality. Previous Zweig Funded grants during 2005-2006 screened IL-1 silencing motifs and in 2007 allowed development of stable IL-1 gene induced silencing suitable for clinical application. This proposal uses the Cornell equine genome project gene chip, developed in our lab, to deepen our understanding of the inflammatory agent profile in equine traumatic joint disease, and assesses the interplay of inflammatory cytokines/enzymes and growth factors. Until we understand these molecular events, we can not hope to appropriately target the most destructive cytokines, nor which cytokine group more profoundly suppresses active cartilage reformation. This 2-year proposal aims to: 1) Use gene chip and other molecular expression assays to profile damaging gene expression in equine joint disease, specifically horses with knee chips. 2) Test IL-1 and TNF gene silencing motifs alone and in combination to determine how completely they can control joint reaction. 3) Evaluate expression of other cytokines and pro-inflammatory mediators suppressing cartilage rebound after silencing IL-1 or TNF.

Previous work has identified one highly efficient IL-1 gene knockdown agent from dozens tested in cartilage and joint lining cells. This coding segment has been assembled into a DNA fragment capable of self- sustained production of new silencing agents from the individual target cells. This “silencing microfactory” is unique in medicine and has cross-over to arthritis in man. Moreover, we have established a collaboration with Dr John Rossi in California, a leader in the field of gene silencing to control HIV infection, who has guided our work in developing multiple coding regions in the one construct. Additionally, through another collaboration with Dr Perry Hackett of the University of Minnesota, we have further formed this coding region into a gene package (coined Sleeping Beauty™) capable of permanent integration into target cells so the gene is not lost during cell division. Both plasmids effectively knockdown IL-1, but do little to help rebuild cartilage. We have developed two strategies to overcome this. 1) Supplement stimulatory growth factors through gene therapy which has been a focus of our lab for 6 years. (now the major part of a pending NIH grant). 2) Verify the target hierarchy in naturally occurring joint disease and widen the search by assessing expression of all major degradatory agents. The experiments in this two-year grant will use gene expression arrays and histologic techniques to profile pro- inflammatory cytokine expression in the joint lining from a range of Thoroughbred and Standardbred knee chip and arthritis cases, employ laboratory culture techniques to examine the efficiency of

248

IL-1 and TNF cytokine RNA interference products, and use gene and protein assays to measure cross-talk between these cytokines and other agents in the joint lining and adjacent cartilage. The project long-term goal is to assemble multiple coding regions targeting the key elements in joint destruction onto the one DNA backbone, and eventually to test this gene based anti-inflammatory motif in animals with cartilage injury and finally in horses with arthritic joints. Ultimately, we hope to return horses with possible career-ending joint injury back to being competitive athletes.

B) Describe the studies direction, positive and/or negative, toward the specific aims during the current budget year and the results obtained.

TIMETABLE: (This was the timetable for the two-year funding period). Jan 1, 2008 – Sept 30, 2008 Harvest synovial membrane and fluid from chip cases. May 1, 2008 – Sept 30, 2008 Prep RNA, assay IL-1 and TNF in membrane and fluids. Develop pSIREN-TNF. Oct 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009 Microarray data assessment. qPCR of candidate genes. Jan 1, 2009 – April 1, 2009 Evaluate pSIREN and SB for IL-1 shRNA. Evaluate pS-TNF & SB-TNF. Apr 1, 2009 – Dec 31, 2009 Evaluate secondary impact of pS and SB gene silencing-long-term culture.

Eleven Thoroughbred and 1 Standardbred have had chip fractures removed from the carpi since the grant commenced January 2008. Synovial fluid was saved and synovial tissue harvested and stored. Similar fluids and tissues were harvested from carpi of 15 normal horses in this same time period. Size and location of the fracture fragment, extent of cartilage damage beyond the fragment (scored using published scale 1-4), and concurrent radiographic OA score (1=normal; 2=perimeter osteophytes; 3=osteophytes and joint space narrowing; 4=osteophytes/exostoses/joint collapse) were recorded for each horse. The synovial tissue has been homogenized and RNA extracted. Sample collection continues to achieve the goal of 20 samples from affected and 20 from normal horses. Anticipated candidate gene qPCR assay of gene expression is expected to start within the next 30 days. Candidate genes will include IL-1α & β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase 1), ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase 2), nitric oxide synthase, interferon (IFN), NFκB, collagen type I, and decorin. A poorly performing TNF-a qPCR has been replaced with new primer probe sets after comparison of 3 new primer pairs using Primer Express. Microarray gene chips have been designed and manufactured, and were delivered September 18, 2008. RNA purification is complete and representative samples from carpi with similar OA stages have been pooled. Microarray is expected to commence on schedule. Small interfering RNA’s (siRNA) targeting TNF-α were synthesized and screened by electroporation into chondrocyte monolayers exposed to LPS to stimulate an inflammatory state. Gene expression for catabolic cytokines and cartilage matrix gene expression was determined by real-time PCR. The most efficient siRNA ribo-oligo’s were used to design a short-hairpin coding region to code for sense and antisense RNA interference motifs in a pSIREN plasmid, to prolong TNF-α knockdown (pSH-TNF2). TNF-α expression was substantially reduced by 2 of seven siRNA targeting TNF (Fig 1). LPS treated chondrocyte cultures showed a small rebound

This project has allowed us gather the majority of the projected samples required to complete the subsequent screening assays of cytokine expression. The remaining samples should be collected in the remaining months of 2008, given the current case load. In vitro work has screened TNF-α silencing motifs and resulted in development of a plasmid based shRNA TNF silencing motif (pSH-TNF2). These data show novel TNF knockdown using a plasmid coding a short hairpin loop (shRNA) form of a TNF interference motif. Moreover, development of this plasmid by recombination into the Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon has been completed and provides the potential for chromosomal integration and selection of chondrocytes resistant to TNF effects. These culture experiments have been finished and await qPCR data. Target gene knockdown provides a non- competitive path to control of TNF action, compared to previous receptor decoy and soluble antibody approaches. Similarly, post-transcriptional gene silencing has the advantage of persistence, particularly when combined with simple plasmid or integrating vectors such as SB. Combinatorial therapy, targeting both IL-1 and TNF-α, has been developed to achieve global knockdown of the two major catabolic agents and improve anabolic recovery.

Preliminary data on longer term combination silencing of IL-1b and TNF-α in chondrocyte cultures indicate that aggrecan and collagen type II expression can be returned to levels closer to normal.

C) Summarize your plans to address the Specific Aims during the next year of support. Much of the work in aims 2 and 3 has already commenced ahead of the projected timeline. This should allow concentrated focus on the microarray studies, which will consume much of the 08-09 winter period.

PROJECT TITLE: Genomic Profiling of Osteochondritis Dissecans Using an Equine Whole Transcript Exon Array

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Alan J. Nixon

LAY SUMMARY: Provide the original lay summary from last year’s award. If it has changed, an updated summary should be submitted.

Significance: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) remains a prominent and debilitating musculoskeletal syndrome among growing horses. In concert with other forms of developmental orthopedic disease (DOD), including physitis, angular limb deformity, cuboidal bone collapse, and wobbler syndrome, this complex continues to affect 35 to 40% of the annual weanling and yearling crop. For individual animals, the impact has largely been through joint and growth plate pain, deformity and mechanical dysfunction, and subsequent osteoarthritis (Fig 1)

Figure 1. Radiographic (A) and morphologic appearance (B) of early OCD (arrows) in the stifle of the horse, compared to normal appearance (C,D). These early affected tissues may yield important causative gene expression information that is at the center of this grant. Defining gene family changes will allow a more focused study of specific gene dysfunction that may flesh out the genetic basis or otherwise of OCD. At the very least, this study should elucidate the se-ries of early gene dysfunctions that set OCD in motion deep within the joint surface.

The economic costs of lameness and cosmetic disfigurement, add to the morbidity associated with OCD, spinal ataxia, and angular limb diseases. Further, osteochondrosis (OC) seems to affect the more rapidly growing animals, making this group of related diseases a frustrating syndrome for owners and farm managers. Despite adoption of environmental controls such as trace mineral supplementation to mares and weanlings, overall growth rate restrictions, and consistent exercise regimens, the incidence of osteochondrosis (OC) and OCD remains unacceptably high. The predominant sites for occurrence vary between horse breeds, but epiphysitis (physitis) and OCD are particularly common in Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, Warmbloods, Arabians and Quarter Horses. In addition to the pain and debility of physitis and joint disease, there are serious mechanical consequences to OCD induced joint surface disruption. Fetlock and shoulder OCD frequently degenerate to osteoarthritis with permanent lameness. Other common OCD sites such as the hock and stifle can also be debilitating, and frequently require surgery or intraarticular medication for adequate resolution. Better longer- term control will only come through an understanding of the cause and cascade of events in OCD formation.

We consider OCD and other forms of DOD remain as unresolved key targets in equine health research. Defining the cause of OC at a molecular and genetic level is fundamental to reducing the incidence and consequences of DOD.

Progress: Despite corrections to pasture and water quality for mares, and improvements in the composition and volume of supplements for weanlings, DOD and particularly OCD remain at a high incidence plateau. Our pilot studies using global gene scans of cartilage specimens from OCD and normal animals identified several candidate causative genes which were subsequently analyzed in more detail. These studies determined that OCD cartilage has a prominent footprint of gene expression derangements, spanning from increases in growth factors and bioactive peptides important in the control of growth plate development and maturation, to changes in gene modulators and proteins controlling the cell cycle and cell developmental states. The prioritization and interaction of these developmentally important proteins in OCD remains essentially uncharted. This largely stems from the lack of global gene array tools. Although the equine genome project completed the horse gene sequence detection earlier in 2007, it is not clear that a full genome equine gene chip will ever be commercialized due to market limitations. Given these constraints our group developed a custom gene chip capable of interrogating the equine genome.

Research Plan: We hypothesize that OCD is the result of aberrations in the signaling processes of key regulatory proteins controlling cartilage maturation and formation into bone.

Objectives of this study include a complete gene expression profiling in OCD tissues using the Cornell equine gene chip, developed by our lab for this project, and providing interrogation of the full equine genome. Commercial versions will not be available for several years, if at all. This proposal expands previous work on 4 animals with early OCD lesions. Microarray techniques will be used for global gene expression mapping, and selected microarray and targeted gene data will be verified with precise gene quantitative assays, in situ definition of gene expression dysfunction on actual microscopic tissue sections, and laser microdissection to punch out microscopic islands of specific regions of the OCD flap to establish gene profiles of discrete zones within the diseased cartilage. Functional verification of the role of key molecules in OCD will use gene overexpression and gene knockdown techniques to study the impact of differential gene regulation on cartilage matrix structure and competency. In so doing we will characterize whether the suspect genes actually perturb cartilage formation in the way we see in the natural disease.

PROGRESS REPORT: (Not to exceed 2 pages) The progress report should include the following:

A) State the Specific Aims as actually funded. If they have been modified, provide the revised aims and the reason for the modification. Substantial changes must be reviewed by the Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Education as directed by the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund post-award guidelines. 1) Determine differentially expressed genes in OCD cartilage using a custom exon array equine GeneChip. 2) Verify predominantly dysregulated genes by quantitative real time PCR measurement of gene expression in OCD and normal cartilage. 3) Assess the spatial distribution of gene dysfunction in focal OCD lesions by laser-capture microdissection of specific cell groups and study of the differentially expressed genes within precise zones or clusters by quantitative PCR. 4) Verify the direct impact of overexpressed genes identified on microarray by transient transfection of chondrocytes and quantification of cartilage matrix response genes. 5) Use RNA interference to examine the effects of candidate gene knockdown on chondrocyte gene profiles and matrix assembly B) Describe the studies direction, positive and/or negative, toward the specific aims during the current budget year and the results obtained. TIMETABLE: (Provide a tentative sequence or timetable for the investigation for the two-year funding period). January 1, 2008 - Sept 1, 2008 Collect OCD and normal cartilage samples March 1, 2008 - Dec 31, 2008 Isolate RNA and run microarray, decal §ion osteochondral blocks Sept 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009 Analyze chip data; Analyze candidate gene expression by taqman April 1, 2009- Dec 31, 2009 Transient overexpression and gene silencing experiments

Osteochondral blocks and cartilage for RNA isolation have been collected from a total of 17 OCD cases and 14 age and site matched controls. All have been decalcified and sectioned. Histology verified the classical clefting and separation of OCD cartilage from underlying bone (Fig 1). Microarray data using version 1 of the CU Equine gene chip showed over 800 genes were differentially regulated in OCD compared to normal cartilage (p<0.05, fold-change ≥1.2, ≥50% present call in ≥1 group). The new version 2 chip was delayed in production but has now been secured and is being used in new expression profiling. A wide range of differentially expressed mRNAs were identified in OCD cartilage, which encoded key players of various functional pathways, biological processes, and functionally related gene families (Fig 2). Validation of 4 predominantly dysregulated genes on microarray using real-time PCR (Taqman) showed the same differential expression pattern in OCD cartilage (Table 1). Major gene expression abnormalities in OCD affected cartilage included (i) VEGF ligand and receptor pathway overexpression, (ii) increased signaling through Ephrin ligand over- abundance, (iii) increased apoptotic activity by overexpression of caspase 3 & 7 and downregulation of bcl-2, (iv) increased protein Fig 1.

(14-fold on microarray; 25-fold by qPCR). Followup verification by immunohistochemistry showed connexin-43 was abundantly expressed around the separation cleft between cartilage and bone (Fig 3).

Studies of ephrin expression have also commenced. Ephrin pathways are the most differentially regulated (Fig 2), and we are examining the possibility of ephrin induced changes in vascular entry to cartilage columns in the base of the OCD defect and the possible Fig 3. Connexin 43 is adundantly overexpressed implication for osteoclastic proliferation (Fig 4). in the OCD cleft, which suggests a vascular role in cleft formation

This project is moving along well, with new cases being added and RNA preps being purified for microarray on the version 2 chip. Further candidate gene analysis and overexpression and underexpression experiments are anticipated for early 2009.

Therapy and Prevention of Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1)-Induced Disease

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Gillian Perkins and Nikolaus Osterrieder

LAY SUMMARY: Provide the original lay summary from last year’s award. If it has changed, an updated summary should be submitted. Rationale. This proposal is focused on an important, yet poorly researched area with respect to the control of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1), namely the metaphylaxis and therapy of EHV-1 infection. Historically, and rightly so, attention has focused on improving the immune prophylaxis of the disease and to define parameters that are surrogate markers for protection. These studies are ongoing in many university laboratories, including ours, and in pharmaceutical companies, and it is important that they be continued. However, recent outbreaks at race-tracks and boarding facilities involving large numbers of animals have raised the well-justified question whether vaccination by itself will be sufficient to protect contact animals in an outbreak scenario when high virus loads are shed from infected and sometimes poorly immunized horses. In addition, recent studies assessing the efficacy of standard anti-herpesvirus drugs, such as acyclovir or even the more readily bioavailable valacyclovir, in horses have been sobering in that therapeutically efficacious levels could not be reached in the serum, let alone in the target tissues such as the central nervous system or the reproductive organs, even after continuous administration at high doses.

Here we will examine whether a recently discovered approach to reduce virus replication and shedding, RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) would present an alternative therapeutic approach. Only recently has siRNA-mediated repression of a related virus, Herpes simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) in a murine model system be demonstrated [18]. The salient findings of this study were that siRNA that was topically administered by cationic liposomes could repress virus replication at mucosal sites and clinical signs (vulvovaginitis) quite effectively. It could be used both therapeutically, i.e. shortly before and for up to 6 h after challenge infection, but also metaphylactically as evidenced by the fact that siRNA antiviral responses were still detectable 9 days after application. Importantly, these authors of this report were unable to detect viruses that could mutate to circumvent siRNA-mediated protection from disease [8,18].

Based on our preliminary data that show that EHV-1 replication can be reduced to undetectable levels in cell culture by certain siRNA’s in vitro, we believe that siRNA treatment of horses could be a valuable therapeutic alternative in outbreak situations or as a metaphylactic measure. This is especially at racetracks, sales, and other places with dense horse populations and where health status of other animals may be unknown. It is important to note that siRNA seems to be an ideal complementation of vaccination as it is not expected to interfere with prophylactic measures, which is a critical quality when we discuss novel regimens to contain local and population-wide spread of the virus.

Background. EHV-1 affects horse populations worldwide [15]. Within the large family of the Herpesviridae it has been classified under the subfamily of the Alphaherpesvirinae. Owing to its biological properties and genomic organization, it has been grouped into the genus Varicellovirus together with its close relative Equine Herpes- virus Type 4 (EHV-4) {Minson, 2000 24568 /id}. EHV-1 targets three organ systems in the natural host: the

258

respiratory tract, the reproductive organs, and the central nervous system (CNS). The affection of these three systems determines the clinical signs observed after EHV-1 infection, which are respiratory distress including nasal discharge, dyspnoea, and coughing, late- time abortions in pregnant mares, and neurological disease. The latter is usually characterized by a paralysis of the hind limbs and the organs that are innervated by the lumbar nerves (e.g., the bladder) [16,34]. More recently, the neurological form of the disease has been predominant and caused considerable losses to the equine industry. Large-scale epidemics of EHV-1 paralytic disease have been documented in the past years, and more than 25 outbreaks have been recorded all over the United States since 2001, 11 of which occurred in 2006. This latest surge has resulted in the classification of paralytic equine herpesvirus infection or equine herpesvirus-induced myelo-encephalopathy (EHM) as a potentially emerging disease by the United States Department of Agriculture [30]. These recent cases also suggest the emergence of an epidemiological picture that resembles the well known “abortion storms” caused by EHV-1, i.e. that large numbers of animals per affected premise are developing severe clinical disease. For example, in the case of EHV-1 infection at the University riding school in Findlay, OH, more than 90% of the 138 horses became clinically sick, 35% developed neurological disease and 9% (12 horses) died or had to be euthanized. Another striking feature is that recent neurological cases of EHV-1 infection occurred despite regular vaccinations in very short intervals, indicating the possibility of the circulation of EHV-1 variants that can break vaccine protection.

The pathogenesis of EHV-1 abortions and neurological disease is probably a consequence of an infection and damage of the endothelia of small blood vessels, which results in inflammation (vasculitis) and thrombosis. The thrombosis in turn causes impaired microcirculation in affected areas, including oxygen deprivation of predominantly the white matter (hypoxia), axonal swelling, and ultimately neuronal death. Abortions and stillbirths can also be caused by the same pathogenic mechanism of vasculitis, thrombus formation, and hypoxia, with a complete or partial detachment of the placenta and malnutrition of the fetus [24-26]. A matter of considerable controversy and an active area of research is the identification of correlates of virulence of individual strains and to identify cellular and tissue tropisms of various strains. The recent discovery of a polymorphism in one of the important virus enzymes, the DNA polymerase [14], and the recent proof that this mutation is at least necessary for the neurologic potential of certain EHV-1 strains, which our laboratory provided in collaboration with the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket (see Appendix 1), seems to support the notion of two different EHV-1 pathotypes circulating in the equine population.

Expected advantages and possible limitations of siRNA therapy and metaphylaxis of EHV-1 infection. Since horses acquire EHV-1 infections through contact with infectious secretions or via inhalation of infectious aerosols, and the primary site of replication is the epithelium of the upper respiratory tract [21], blockade of virus at the port of entry at mucosal surfaces seems a reasonable target for intervention. After the virus has penetrated the epithelial barrier, reaches deeper tissues of the respiratory tract and finally draining lymph nodes and the circulation via infected B and T cells [9,10,23], intervention to avoid infection is no longer possible much less likely to be successful [19]. During an EHV-1 infection, substantial viral shedding occurs via the nose and can be observed from day 1 up until approximately day 7, but low levels of virus – as determined by quantitative real-time PCR – are continually shed to a lesser extent at least until day 21 after infection [4].

As mentioned above, there currently is no efficacious antiviral treatment available for EHV-1 infections, and managing of an outbreak is mainly by biosecurity measures and supporting therapy of diseased animals [34]. Over the last years, interest in using RNA interference to prevent and treat viral infections has grown. Double- stranded siRNAs are designed such that they are complementary to a specific mRNA, shuttled to a so-called silencing complex, which is present in virtually all cell types. This complex cleaves double-stranded siRNA resulting in a small, single-stranded RNA which can then bind to its target mRNA. The binding results in degradation of target mRNA and translation from mRNA can no longer occur. Several siRNAs have been used successfully to inhibit viral infections from HIV to many respiratory viruses [7,22]. We here intend to

259

investigate the ability of siRNA to inhibit the growth and replication of EHV-1 at the primary site of infection, namely the upper respiratory tract. As such, not only viral replication in the affected animals can be controlled, but also, by diminishing viral shedding from the nose, the overall viral load in the population or herd can be reduced. In an outbreak scenario it is conceivable that infected and non-infected contact animals are treated with siRNA in order to prevent clinical manifestation of the disease. Generally, horses can be treated with siRNA before attending races, performances, shows, or any other place where a large number of potential shedders gather at a reasonable cost of about $5 to $20 per treatment. The versatility of siRNA applications, the lack of interference with vaccination, and the low frequency of viral escape mechanisms to the treatment make this approach an attractive candidate for therapy and metaphylaxis.

PROGRESS REPORT: (Not to exceed 2 pages) The progress report should include the following:

Specific aim 1:

A) Specific aim 1: To test the efficacy of siRNA directed against the gB and UL9 genes and combinations thereof in vitro and in mice. We have accumulated preliminary data that show antiviral activity of small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) against EHV-1 in cultured cells. Using standard liposomal transfection of combinations of gB and UL9 siRNA’s found to be effective, the most efficacious and cost-effective combination will be determined in various cell lines. Effective cocktails will be administered topically (intranasally) to mice using various delivery vehicles, and protection against EHV-1 disease and shedding will be determined.

B) The siRNAs and varied delivery methods have been tested in mice and showed protection against EHV-1 infection by reduction in weight loss and viral titers in the lungs. This data has been compiled and submitted to PLoS One (see Appendix) and presented at the ACVIM Forum in June of 2008 and the Dorothy Havemeyer Workshop on Equine Herpesvirus Disease in Steamboat, CO, in September of 2008.

C) The work described in Specific Aim 1 has been completed. Specific aim 2: A) To test the efficacy of siRNA directed against the gB and UL9 genes in horses. The most promising combination of siRNA cocktail and delivery vehicle will ultimately be tested in horses for their prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy using clinical and virological parameters including nasal virus shedding, induction of fever, and viremia. siRNA will be applied at three time points before (6 hr, 24 hr, 48 hr) and two time points after challenge infection (6 hr, 24 hr).

B & C) Currently, a horse experiment testing the most effective of combination of siRNA is ongoing. The horses were given a combination of gB3 and ori2 siRNAs intranasally both 12 hours before and 12 hours after experimental infection 7 with EHV-1 (strain Ab4 at 10 PFU per horse). We are monitoring their clinical parameters as well as viremia and nasal virus shedding by both virus isolation and qPCR.

Title: Emergence and Establishment of Influenza Virus in Equines

Investigator: Dr. Gary R. Whittaker

Equine influenza remains one of the most common respiratory diseases of horses. It is a highly contagious viral disease that affects large numbers of thoroughbred race horses each year. In common with other species, the potential exists for pandemic influenza outbreaks, notably from birds, which would be accompanied by significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Equine influenza virus occurs in two serotypes H7N7 and H3N8. The first documented equine influenza virus was isolated from an extensive outbreak of respiratory disease in Czechoslovakia in 1956. The virus isolated from this outbreak became the prototype H7N7 equine influenza virus (A/equine/Prague/56). This virus spread around the world and continued to circulate in horses. Subsequent studies indicated that this virus was directly introduced from birds. In 1963, a second equine influenza virus was isolated (A/equine/Miami/63, H3N8), which also likely represents a direct introduction of an avian influenza virus. Equine H3N8 was recently was the cause of an epizootic in dogs.

The influenza virus coat protein (hemagglutinin or HA) is a major factor in the ability of influenza viruses to emerge and cause disease, and the so-called HA "cleavage site" is a primary factor in the ability of viruses to spread within a host. Before HA can mediate virus infection, it must be primed. In this priming step, the precursor HA is cleaved into two subunits. In humans, HA is normally cleaved by specific proteases released from cells of the respiratory epithelium, whose localization restricts tissue tropism to the respiratory tract. However viruses that possess a "polybasic stretch" of amino acids at their cleavage site (typically highly pathogenic avian influenza, HPAI) have the possibility of circumventing normal tissue tropism restraints, resulting in systemic lethal infections.

Equine influenza viruses are significant in that they can have features that are associated with HPAI, i.e. they possess a polybasic cleavage site. However, equine influenza viruses do not ordinarily undergo systemic spread in horses. What is unique about equine influenza viruses is that the HA can possess an additional, and highly conserved, 9-11 amino acid insert adjacent to the cleavage site. By molecular modeling, we have shown specific interactions of this insert, which likely result in attenuation of virus entry and spread within the host. Based on this, we hypothesize that the unique insert is critical to the adaptation of emergent influenza virus to the equine host.

We propose to carry out a structure-function analysis of two representative equine H7 viruses, A/equine/Prague/56 and A/equine/Comell/74, as well as the prototype A/equine/Miami/63, H3N8 virus, with the goal of understanding the adaptation of these viruses to the equine host. Our specific aims will be to clone the equine HA genes and introduce these into recombinant influenza systems for mutagenesis studies, in combination with molecular modeling with the Cornell Theory Center. We will also generate an antigenic map of equine HA using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. These studies will be invaluable in our understanding of equine influenza virus and how novel emergent viruses adapt to the equine host. A study of this adaptation will be a critical part of our response to future influenza outbreaks in horses.

PROGRESS REPORT

A) SPECIFIC AIMS:

In our original application we had two specific aims: 1 - To characterize the process of fusion activation for equine influenza virus. In this aim we propose to carry out a mutagenesis study of selected equine H3 and H7 HA proteins, with the goal of understanding controlling fusion activation and virus emergence and spread within the equine host. 2- To understand the antigenic architecture of equine influenza viruses. Influenza virus is a highly antigenically variable pathogen that can escape from immunity induced by prior infection or vaccination. Analysis of antigenic differences is critical for surveillance and vaccine strain selection. We propose to determine an antigenic map for both the H3 and H7 influenza virus, using structural information available in the literature and generated as part of this proposal.

Characterization of equine influenza viruses Our work has focused on establishing systems for structure-function studies of HA, with a focus on H7 viruses. We have made significant progress in this area and are now in the final stages of our initial analysis of the cleavage-activation of influenza A/equine/Cornell/1974 (and A/equine/Prague/1956), with a focus on role of the non-conventional connecting peptide between HA1 and HA2. We are currently working on a manuscript for publication with the working title “A unique insert in a non-conventional influenza H7 virus suggests a novel mechanism of triggering membrane fusion”. Our results to date can be summarized as follows: Role of the connecting peptide on HA0 cleavage. The unique insert (NST/APA)HKQLTHHM adjacent to the equine H7 cleavage site allows the utilization of a minimal furin recognition site (RKKR), which is normally unavailable for cleavage by host cell proteases. For influenza viruses in general, we consider this finding to be non-conventional, but not unique—however the majority of (avian) H5 and H7 viruses have at least one additional basic residue at the cleavage site (e.g. KKRKKR or RRKRR). Possibly the equine H7 connecting peptide helps position the cleavage site in the uncleaved form of HA to allow better access to the protease? The use of a glycosylation site (NST) in A/equine/Cornell/1974 (as opposed to APA in A/equine/Prague/1956) helps a little in the above cleavage event, but has only a minor role. Role of the connecting peptide on HA structure / structural stability. Based on a protease- protection assay, the presence of the insert (NST/APA)HKQLTHHM helps stabilize the cleaved form of HA. This also applies to a construct with IPKKRKKR at the cleavage site of A/equine/Cornell/1974, which also seems to stabilize the structure of the cleaved HA. The use of the glycosylation site NST has no apparent role on stability. Individual histidines within the connecting peptide (i.e. H344 and H343) also have no apparent role on stability. We consider these two findings to be interesting, but not particularly significant. Role of the connecting peptide on HA fusion activation. To date, the most significant findings of the work on A/equine/Cornell/1974 relate to the activation of membrane fusion. Whereas A/equine/Cornell/1974 has been previously studied with regard to cleavage and HA structural stability (Takeuchi et al., 1994), the fusion reaction itself has not been investigated. Using a quantitative cell–cell fusion assay, we have shown that wild type A/equine/Cornell/1974, with the connecting peptide comprising (NST/APA)HKQLTHHM has a very low pH threshold for fusion activation (fusion threshold = pH 5.1, 50% maximum fusion = pH 4.875). To our knowledge, this is a unique example. This is a very low pH of activation compared to most other influenza viruses; e.g. low pathogenicity influenza A/turkey/Italy (H7) or A/X:31 (H3) which show 50% maximum fusion around pH 5.3, and highly pathogenic avian influenza A/FPV/Rostock (H7) which shows 50% maximum fusion around pH 5.8–5.9. The comparison with H7 Rostock is probably most valid, as both viruses are cleaved intracelluarly. We find that H343 is critical for this low fusion threshold. Examination of the other histidine residues in the connecting peptide is ongoing.

263

Fusion activity of A/equine/Cornell/1974 compared to a conventional mouse-adapted human H1 influenza strain A/WSN/33. The HA genes form A/equine/Cornell/1974 and A/WSN/33 were cloned into a mammalian expression vector and expressed in cells. Membrane fusion was induced by lowering the pH to defined values and fusion activity was measured using a quantitative luciferase-based reporter gene assay. Fusion activity was normalized to 100%, based on a control fusion assay.

Our rationale is that the connecting peptide "protects" the cleaved HA in transit though the relatively acidic Golgi; it is already known that A/equine/Cornell/1974 does not need a functional M2 ion channel for assembly like A/FPV/Rostock (H7) – see (Takeuchi et al., 1994). Currently, we are re-evaluating our molecular models of A/equine/Cornell/1974 to attempt to rationalize the molecular interactions with the histidines relative to the fusion peptide. The use of the glycosylation site NST has no apparent role on fusion activation. We have also produced MLV pseudovirions of the H343 and H344 mutants, which are efficiently produced, but show very limited transduction compared to wild type. This work is still in a relatively early phase and is still ongoing. Overall, we believe the presence of the A/equine/Cornell/1974 and A/equine/Prague/1956 connecting peptide provides a possible mechanism for adaptation of an influenza virus with an intracellularly cleaved HA. Future studies in mice with our A/equine/Cornell/1974 mutants to investigate viral pathogenesis are possible, but will need to be evaluated before we commence these studies. To date we have generated the following mutants:

connecting peptide fusion peptide LATGMKNVPENSTHKQLTHHMRKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – wild type LATGMKNVPE------RKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – D318-328 LATGMKNVPENSTHKQLTHHM---R-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – D329-331 LATGMKNVPENST------RKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – D321-328 LATGMKNVPEIP------RKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – IP D318-328 LATGMKNVPEIP------KRKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – IP-K D318-328 LATGMKNVPEAPAHKQLTHHMRKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – NST-APA LATGMKNVPEASTHKQLTHHMRKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – NST-AST LATGMKNVPENSTHKQLTAHMRKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – H326A LATGMKNVPENSTHKQLTHAMRKKR-GLFGAIAIGFIENGWEGLIDGWYGY – H347A The mutants were grouped into several categories, with the goal of investigating a) the importance of the unique connecting peptide, and the specific role of histidines within the connecting peptide (D318- 328,H326A,H327A); b) the role of the adjacent glycosylation site (NST-APA; NST-AST); c) the effect of an IP sequence commonly found in low-path avian H7 viruses (IP D318-328; IP-KD318-328) (Lee et al., 2006), and d) the role of the consensus furin- cleavage site (D329-331). Analysis of these mutants is currently ongoing, and is encompassing cell-surface expression studies, cleavage analysis and function in H7-pseudotyped retroviruses. Based on the final results from these experiments, mutagenesis studies will continue, and selected viruses will be rescued by reverse-genetics, and studied in more detail for their fusion properties.

264

Currently, it appears that there are significant differences in the expression pattern based on M2 co-expression, and that the connecting peptide has an important role in the ability of H7 to be cleaved. In this respect we are observing differences compared to the results expected from previous publications on A/equine/Cornell/1974 (Takeuchi et al., 1994), and analysis is ongoing. To date we have only limited evidence that the NST glycosylation site is important, at least in the assays performed to date. In this context, we have made a comparison with the prototypic A/equine/Prague/1956 HA (which contains APA in place of NST). Unexpectedly, sequence analysis of the A/equine/Prague/1956 viruses at Cornell University has shown the presence of NST at this position, which differs from the published H7 Prague sequences. We are currently determining whether the APA-NST mutation reflects a change upon virus passage in eggs. We obtained a new A/equine/Prague/1956 virus stock from ATCC/BEI Resources, and have confirmed the presence of NST as with existing database sequences. As reported previously, complete genome sequencing of A/equine/Cornell/1974 has been performed and sequences of the HA, PB2, PA, PB1, M1 and M2 segments has been deposited in GenBank (accession numbers ABY83099, ACB30161, ACB30161, ACB30162, ACB30163, ACB30164 and ACB30165). It is hoped that the sequence of the remaining segments will be deposited shortly. Some interesting aspects of this work include that the equine H7 sequences, in general, are highly divergent.

In the course of our analysis of equine H7 viruses, we also observed on unusual feature related to virus morphology. While it is known that certain virus strains (notably H3 Udorn viruses) have a filamentous morphology, this is generally only thought to be apparent in polarized cells (Roberts and Compans, 1998). We have observed that A/equine/Cornell/1974 is highly filamentous, and that this morphology is not dependent on cell polarity. The reasons for this are unknown, but might be related to the highly divergent sequences of some segments, especially in the M1 protein

Expression, purification and biophysical studies of influenza HA These studies also focused on the equine H7 subtype. We explored production and purification of the A/Cornell/74 HA in two ways – bromelain cleavage of HA from virus grown in embryonated eggs, and secretion of HA from baculovirus-infected cells. In both cases, we are comparing the relative efficiency of protein production with a conventional H3 virus (X:31) in order to optimize purification and determine a procedure for crystallization and other biophysical analyses (including small angle x-ray scattering). With regards to the bromelain-cleavage approach, we encountered some problems in the relative growth in A/equine/Cornell/1974 in eggs (at least compared to X:31), as well as a less-efficient bromelain cleavage. Optimization of bromelain cleavage conditions remains ongoing. Expression studies in baculovirus have followed a conventional approach of generating construct comprising: HAectodomain– recombinant protease cleavage site–foldon–HisTag. Expression of A/equine/Cornell/1974 is very good, however problems were encountered in the secretion of the protein from insect cells. Optimization of equine H7 baculovirus expression is also ongoing.

Antigenicity of H7 HA The use of the glycosylation site NST adjacent to the cleavage site/connecting peptide is predicted to modify the antigenicity of “early” vs. “late” strains of equine H7 influenza. Confirmation of this is currently ongoing.

Implant design, calibration and validation in vitro

To date, 8 E-type strain gauge based transducers has been constructed, validated and employed in experimental studies. For calibration purposes, each E-type transducer was affixed to a 7cm strand of #5 Fiberwire™ loaded in an Enduratec materials testing machine (Figure 1b). The suture was then loaded cyclically (2Hz) under load control between 5 and 50N (Figure 1a).

a b

Figure 1: Force over time for a series of 50 load cycles applied to a strand of #5 Fiberwire™ in an Enduratec materials testing machine (a). Load control results in a very predictable force trajectory as demonstrated by the extremely small standard deviation. The strain gauge based E-type transducer was affixed to the suture (b) and its output measured, allowing an individual calibration factor (slope of linear regression curve) to be determined.

Force and E-type transducer output data were collected for 30 seconds, or approximately 50 cycles (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Strain gauge E-type transducer and actual force data for 6 cycles during a cyclic loading calibration trial. E-type transducer output follows actual force changes well. Mimima and maxima occur simultaneously for the two outputs, indicating no or minimal phase delay.

Actual force was plotted against E-type transducer output to determine a calibration value. A near linear relationship was observed with minimal hysteresis between the rise and fall curves (Figures 3 and 4). Linear regression analysis of the rise and fall showed less than 5% difference in the slope, indicating good agreement between the rise and fall data. Across all trials and for all E-type transducers r-square values have been above 0.98. Linear regression analysis (for each E-type transducer individually) yielded a calibration value (the slope of the force-output curve) which was used in subsequent experiments to convert E-type transducer output to actual force change.

Figure 3: Rise and fall data for a single loading cycle during E-type transducer calibration. Red indicates rising force data and blue falling force data. Minimal hysteresis between rise and fall can be seen.

Figure 4: Rise and fall data for all loading cycles during E-type transducer calibration. The green line indicates the linear regression fit over all data. Linear regression was performed for rising force data alone, falling force data alone, and both rising and falling data together. Less than 5% difference in sloped between rising and falling confirmed that the data could be combined.

The calibration experiments confirmed that the custom designed E-type transducers were capable of accurately predicting suture force (See attached paper) Appendix 1.

276

Subsequently, in vitro experiments using a previously described physical model have validated use of the E- type transducer for the measurement of laryngoplasty suture force. The model applies physiological airflows and pressures to cadaveric larynges (Figure 5; Cheetham et al, under review). A laryngoplasty suture was tied in standard fashion on each side of the larynx and a transducer applied to each. Cyclic airflows similar to those seen in exercising horses were applied to the larynx. Laryngoplasty suture force was determined using the strain gauge E-type transducers. Resulting data were in agreement with the work of R Ducharme et al. (MSc Thesis, 2006), which measured cyclic suture force in the same physical model using a materials testing machine. Cyclic suture forces of only +/-1N were recorded while the larynges were subjected to exercising airflows and pressures.

Figure 5: Cadaveric larynx in situ in physical a model. Each arytenoid cartilage is maintained in abduction by a laryngoplasty suture in #5 Fiberwire™ between the muscular process of the arytenoid and the cricoid cartilage. E-type force transducers can be seen affixed to each suture (a). The strain gauge can be seen mounted on the central arm of the transducer. When force is applied to the suture the middle arm of the transducer is deformed, which results in a resistance change within the strain gauge, proportional to the force. Physiological airflows and pressures are applied to the trachea (to left in b).

IN VIVO IMPLANTATION Acute implantation: Following successful calibration and in vitro validation of the technique as described above, six horses have undergone surgical implantation of unilateral, left sided laryngoplasty sutures with E-type force transducers affixed. The surgical technique is identical to that performed in clinical cases of unilateral laryngeal paralysis. Size #5 Fiberwire™ is placed from the cricoid cartilage to the muscular process of the arytenoid cartilage and tied to place the arytenoid cartilage in an abducted position.

Chronic implantation: Two horses have been implanted with the strain gauge output cable remaining buried subcutaneously. These horses were subsequently stall rested for 6 weeks, before being brought back to the Equine Performance Testing clinic. The goal was to allow the surgery site to heal fully, before exercising these horses on a high speed treadmill to confirm the suture forces measured in vitro are representative. These horses

277

have been back in treadmill training for 2 weeks, and will undergo a controlled exercise test in the next 14 days.

RESULTS Acute implantation: These four horses were allowed to recover from anesthesia for 24 hours before being tested. Simultaneous nasopharyngeal endoscopy and measurement of suture force during induced coughing and swallowing (saline administration into the proximal trachea or nasopharynx, respectively) allowed the characterization of a typical suture force trajectory for a cough and a swallow (Figure 6a and 6b respectively). These events are of particular interest given that all data to date suggest that cyclic forces during exercise are small. Coughing and swallowing have both been implicated in the relatively high failure rates of laryngoplasty. After the induced coughing and swallowing test, the horses were returned to their stalls. Suture force alone was then recorded constantly for 24 hours. From these data, we plan to quantify the cyclic force that is experienced by a laryngoplasty suture in an average 24 hour period. The laryngoplasty suture and transducers were removed under standing sedation and local anesthesia immediately after this testing period. Two further horses will undergo the “acute” measurement protocol.

Figure 6: Transducer output during coughing (a) and swallowing (b). Figure (a) illustrates tracheal pressure (blue line) and laryngoplasty suture force transducer output (red line). Suture force increases from baseline during each episode of high tracheal pressure associated with coughing. Figure (b) illustrates transducer output during a single episode of swallowing (deglutition). Y axes currently represent arbitrary units (voltage output in response to force change). The implants will be retrieved and calibration tests performed, which will confirm no change in gauge sensitivity during the test and will allow these data to be converted to force in Newtons.

Chronic implantation: In both horses the e-transducers failed during the convalescence period. Further work would be needed to evaluate other constructs capable of sustaining prolong in-vivo implantation.

2008 Final Report of Harry M Zweig Memorial Fund for Equine Research

1) Title: Defining the cause of thrombosis in equine inflammatory disease: Role of tissue factor – a new diagnostic approach?

2) Specific Aims: Only Aim 1 of the original grant proposal was funded.

Aim 1: Measurement of monocyte and plasma TF expression in affected and healthy horses In the original proposal, we hypothesized that excessive activation of coagulation and clotting occurs in horses with colitis and pleuropneumonia (shipping fever) because of the over-expression of a specific coagulation factor called tissue factor (TF) on the surface of white cells in blood. Tissue factor is the main trigger of the coagulation cascade, the endpoint of which is the formation of clots. To test our hypothesis, we proposed to measure TF activity on white cells (called monocytes) isolated from the blood of healthy horses and horses affected with colitis or pleuropneumonia. The activity of TF is measured using a specific procoagulant assay in the laboratory. We also proposed to develop a novel anti-equine TF ELISA for measuring TF in the plasma of horses. In order to develop the ELISA, we had cloned the extracellular portion of equine TF into a bacterial expression vector. The recombinant equine TF would be purified from bacterial culture and used to immunize rabbits to produce polyclonal anti- equine TF antibodies.

3) Summary of Scientific Findings a) Measurement of tissue factor activity We have collected blood, performed TF activity assays and analyzed the data from 28 healthy horses, 10 horses with acute colitis and 2 horses with shipping fever. Using density-gradient centrifugation, we obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from these horses. This preparation consists of average ± standarad deviation of 5 ± 3% monocytes. Since monocytes are the only cells that can express TF, we further isolated monocytes by culturing the PBMC overnight on plastic. This enriched the monocyte population to 35 ± 15%. We then performed TF activity assays on two different preparations (surface and whole cell lysate) and expressed the results in ug/ml of TF activity): i) Surface TF activity: This was done on the cultured monocytes, which only measures TF on the surface of these cells, i.e. the only portion of TF available to activate clotting. ii) Whole cell lysate: Here we lysed PBMCs in a detergent. This measures all the TF in the cells, not only that expressed on the surface.

The results for these two assays, expressed as mean standard deviation of TF activity in ug/ml (numbers permitting) are shown in the table below.

280

n Surface Whole cell Healthy 28 0.07 0.16 0.01 0.00 Colitis 7 0.02 0.01 0.01* Shipping fever 1 0.02 0.01 * Done on 1/7 horses

The results indicate that TF expression on monocyte surfaces or whole cell lysates is not increased in horses with colitis or pleuropneumonia. These results are unexpected and prove the null hypothesis. There may be several reasons for this. Activation of monocytes may occur in healthy horses during the isolation procedure. In support of this, examination of Wright’s-stained cytospin smears of monocytes detached from tissue culture wells with trypsin-EDTA showed that monocytes were more activated in horses with higher baseline TF activity. This will contribute to unexpectedly high baseline TF activity in healthy horses, which is likely not occurring in vivo. Horses with colitis and pleuropneumonia are expected to be endotoxemic. Bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) is a known stimulus for monocyte TF expression. It is possible that the sick horses were not endotoxic, therefore their monocyte TF expression was low. However, these horses generally had severe inflammatory leukograms, suggestive of endotoxemia. We hypothesize that most of the TF expressed by monocytes is being released as procoagulant microparticles (these are very small [< 1 um] membrane-bound vesicles derived from budding of monocyte surfaces). Shedding of these microparticles would accelerate coagulation, because they are enriched in TF and provide a large negatively charged surface on which coagulation would proceed in vivo. To test this hypothesis, we can measure microparticles in plasma. This will be done when we have the plasma TF ELISA up and running (work in progress). In the interim, the TF activity can be determined on isolated microparticles. Microparticles can be enriched from plasma by high-speed centrifugation. We have begun to isolate microparticle-rich fractions from the citrated plasma of the sick and healthy horses. We have tested plasma from 13 healthy horses and 4 colitis horses to date. We have found that the TF activity in the microparticle-rich plasma fraction from colitis horses is more than twice that of healthy horses (0.04 0.02 and 0.02 0.01 ug/ml of TF activity, respectively), supporting our hypothesis that TF-rich microparticles are shed into the plasma of sick horses. We still plan to collect plasma from an additional 9 colitis horses and hopefully some more pleuropneumonia horses in the forthcoming year (despite completion of the funding period). b) Development of an equine plasma TF ELISA In this part of the proposal, we had to generate antibodies against equine TF to develop this ELISA. To do this, we had successfully cloned the extracellular portion of the equine TF gene (cDNA) into a bacterial expression vector. The cDNA had a GST tag which we used to purify the expressed protein from bacterial lysates. This was accomplished successfully, but when we tried to scale up bacterial purification and remove the GST tag, we found that the protein was unstable without the tag and degraded. Hence, we tried a different approach and cloned the cDNA into a new expression vector containing a different tag (HIS) and a specific sequence that targets the protein to the periplasmic space of the bacteria. Within this space, the protein should fold properly increasing its

281

stability. We have expressed this new clone successfully in small bacterial cultures and purified the protein with the HIS tag (using a nickel column which binds the HIS tag). Unfortunately, we found that expression with this HIS-tag was also low, which seems to be a persistent problem with this protein. So we have attempted two alternative approaches to obtaining expressed protein: 1) We are working with Dr. Bettina Wagner of the Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences to express the protein in a mammalian cell line, which Dr. Wagner has used successfully for expressing other equine recombinant proteins, e.g. interleukin-4 (IL-4). This approach will enable us to achieve small quantities of very pure correctly folded protein that we can use to generate monoclonal antibodies. This approach is desirable, because monoclonal antibodies may improve the sensitivity and specificity of an ELISA and enable us to measure TF in plasma using an automated (Luminex) machine. This will help make the plasma TF assay a more useful diagnostic test. Unfortunately, inserting the equine TF ectodomain into an equine IgG1 and IgG4-tagged mammalian expression vector (pcDNA3.1) yielded poorly expressing clones in a transient transfection (Figure 1). So now we are cloning the equine TF ectodomain into an IL-4 –tagged vector, which Dr. Wagner has recently generated and used successfully to express large amounts of difficult to express equine proteins. 2) We are collaborating with Dr. Moonsoo Jin of the Department of Biomedical Engineering to express the equine TF ectodomain in a yeast vector. Thus far, we have successfully expressed the protein in a Myc-tagged yeast vector and shown by flow cytometry that the protein is expressed on the yeast surface (Figure 2). We also tested a commercially available polyclonal antibody against the yeast-expressed protein and discovered that it did detect the equine protein, albeit weakly. We are currently in the process of developing an ELISA assay to detect the equine TF protein, using these polyclonal antibodies.

Top panel demonstrates yeast stained with a fluorescent-conjugated monoclonal anti-Myc antibody (left panel) and a rabbit polyclonal anti-TF antibody, followed by a fluorescent-conjugated goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (right panel). About 50% of the yeast were positive for the Myc-tag and TF, however the results with the polyclonal anti-TF antibody were weaker (by about a half log fluorescence). The bottom panel demonstrates results from yeast stained with isotype controls.

4) Significance to the equine industry At this point, we have shown, for the first time, that monocytes from sick horses release TF- enriched microparticles into plasma, which may be a better test (more sensitive, readily available) than measuring TF activity on cell surfaces. We are also progressing towards our goal of developing a novel TF ELISA to measure TF in the plasma of horses. Our hope is to use the ELISA and potentially the microparticle assay to determine if we can predict those horses that are going to develop clots secondary to inflammatory or infectious diseases, e.g. colitis, herpes virus induced abortion and/or neurologic syndrome.

Requirements and Regulations

for

New York-bred Registry

New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Corp. 19 Roosevelt Drive, Suite 250, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Lorraine Power Tharp, Chair Martin G. Kinsella, Executive Director

Interpretation The rules in this article shall be administered by the Fund and questions of interpretation and intent shall be determined by the Fund.

Administration Procedures for establishing compliance with or satisfaction of such rules shall be established by the Fund and administered by its Executive Director.

Registration and de-registration No horse shall be considered a “New York-bred” thoroughbred unless such horse is so registered by the Fund. Should the Fund be satisfied that grounds exist to cancel or void a registration, it may so determine and order any monies of the Fund due any person as a result of such questionable registration held and, if paid, to be returned to the Fund for proper disposition. In addition, pending such determination, the Fund shall be empowered to order retention of such monies as may be payable as a result of any questionable registration, for proper disposition, upon its final determination.

Sanctions For good cause shown, the Fund may order that any individual shall be disqualified from participating as a beneficiary of such Fund for such time as it may determine appropriate.

New York-bred (a) Definitions - as used in this article, the following terms shall mean: 1. Fund: The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund 2. Thoroughbred: A horse registered or qualified for registration as a thoroughbred by the Jockey Club 3. Horse: Except when from the context it appears otherwise, shall mean horse, stallion, mare, gelding, ridgling, colt, or filly 4. Foal: The offspring of a sire and dam, having been born 5. Foaled: Born 6. Sire: The male parent of a horse 7. Dam: The female parent of a horse 8. Breeder: The owner of the mare (dam) at the time it foals a New York-bred 9. “New York Stallion”: A thoroughbred stallion standing in New York State and registered with the Fund in accordance with the law

For requirements and regulations regarding your foals, please contact our offices.

For foals of 1996 and beyond (1995 and subsequent breeding seasons), for a foal to qualify as a registered New York-bred, the dam of such foal must:

A. Be continuously in residence in the State of New York from no later than 90 days after her last cover in the year of conception and thereafter remain in residence until foaling in New York State; or

B. Foal in the State of New York and be bred back to a registered New York stallion and thereafter remain in New York for a continuous period of 90 days after giving birth to such foal.

These simple rules effectively create two categories of mares – resident mares and transient or “visiting” mares – and should more participation in the Fund program more attractive for prospective breeders and owners.
