Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow February 2016 © E. L. O’Reilly, 2016 2 Abstract Acute phase proteins (APPs) are proteins synthesised predominantly in the liver, whose plasma concentrations increase (positive APP) or decrease (negative APP) as a result of infection, inflammation, trauma and tissue injury. They also change as a result of the introduction of immunogens such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), turpentine and vaccination. While publications on APPs in chickens are numerous, the limited availability of anti-sera and commercial ELISAs has resulted in a lot of information on only a few APPs. Disease is a threat to the poultry industry, as pathogens have the potential to evolve, spread and cause rapid onset of disease that is detrimental to the welfare of birds. Low level, sub-acute disease with non-specific, often undiagnosed causes can greatly affect bird health and growth and impact greatly on productivity and profitability. Developing and validating methods to measure and characterise APPs in chickens will allow these proteins to be used diagnostically for monitoring flock health. Using immune parameters such as APPs that correlate with disease resistance or improvements in production and welfare will allow the use of APPs as selection parameters for breeding to be evaluated. For APPs to be useful parameters on which to evaluate chicken health, information on normal APP concentrations is required. Ceruloplasmin (Cp) and PIT54 concentrations were found to be much lower in healthy birds form commercial production farms than the reported normal values obtained from the literature. These APPs were found to be significantly higher in culled birds from a commercial farm and Cp, PIT54 and ovotransferrin (Ovt) were significantly higher in birds classified as having obvious gait defects. Using quantitative shotgun proteomics to identify the differentially abundant proteins between three pools: highly acute phase (HAP), acute phase (AP) and non-acute phase (NAP), generated data from which a selection of proteins, based on the fold difference between the three pools was made. These proteins were targeted on a individual samples alongside proteins known to be APPs in 3 chickens or other species: serum amyloid A (SAA), C-reactive protein (CRP), Ovt, apolipoprotein A-I (apo-AI), transthyretin (Ttn), haemopexin (Hpx) and PIT54. Together with immunoassay data for SAA, Ovt, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and Cp the results of this research reveal that SAA is the only major APP in chickens. Ovotransferrin and AGP behave as moderate APPs while PIT54 and Cp are minor APPs. Haemopexin was not significantly different between the three acute phase groups. Apolipoprotein AI and Ttn were significantly lower in the HAP and AP groups and as such can be classed as negative APPs. In an effort to identify CRP, multiple anti-sera cross reacting with CRP from other species were used and a phosphorylcholine column known to affinity purify CRP were used. Enriched fractions containing low molecular weight proteins, elutions from the affinity column together with HAP, AP and NAP pooled samples were applied to a Q-Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole–Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) for Shotgun analysis and CRP was not identified. It would appear that CRP is not present as a plasma protein constitutively or during an APR in chickens and as such is not an APP in this species. Of the proteins targeted as possible novel biomarkers of the APR in chickens mannan binding lectin associated serine protease-2, α-2-HS-glycoprotein (fetuin) and major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 10 were reduced in abundance in the HAP group, behaving as negative biomarkers. Myeloid protein and putative ISG(12)2 were positively associated with the acute phase being significantly higher in the HAP and AP groups. The protein cathepsin D was significantly higher in both HAP and AP compared to the NAP indicating that of all the proteins targeted, this appears to have the most potential as a biomarker of the acute phase, as it was significantly increased in the AP as well as the HAP group. To evaluate APPs and investigate biomarkers of intestinal health, a study using re-used poultry litter was undertaken. The introduction of litter at 12 days of age did not significantly increase any APPs measured using immunoassays and quantitative proteomics at 3, 6 and 10 days post introduction. While no APP was found to be significantly different between the challenged and control groups at anytime point, the APPs AGP, SAA and Hpx did increase over time in all birds. The protein apolipoprotein AIV (apo-AIV) was targeted as a possible APP and 4 because of its reported role in controlling satiety. An ELISA was developed, successfully validated and used to measure apo-AIV in this study. While no significant differences in apo-AIV plasma concentrations between challenged and control groups were identified apo-AIV plasma concentrations did change significantly between certain time points in challenged and control groups. Apoliporotein AIV does not appear to behave as an APP in chickens, as it was not significantly different between acute phase groups. The actin associated proteins villin and gelsolin were investigated as possible biomarkers of intestinal health. Villin was found not to be present in the plasma of chickens and as such not a biomarker target. Gelsolin was found not to be differentially expressed during the acute phase or as a result of intestinal challenge. Finally a proteomic approach was undertaken to investigate gastrocnemius tendon (GT) rupture in broiler chickens with a view of elucidating to and identify proteins associated with risk of rupture. A number of proteins were found to be differentially expressed between tendon pools and further work would enable further detailing of these findings. In conclusion this work has made a number of novel findings and addressed a number of data poor areas. The area of chicken APPs research has stagnated over the last 15 years with publications becoming repetitive and reliant on a small number of immunoassays. This work has sought to characterise the classic APPs in chickens, and use a quantitative proteomic approach to measure and categorise them. This method was also used to take a fresh approach to biomarker identification for both the APR and intestinal health. The development and validation of assays for Ovt and apo-AIV and the shotgun data mean that these proteins can be further characterised in chickens with a view of applying their measurement to diagnostics and selective breeding programs. 5 Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................... 2 Table of Contents ....................................................................... 5 List of Tables ............................................................................. 12 List of Figures ............................................................................ 14 Acknowledgements ...................................................................... 18 Author‟s Declaration .................................................................... 20 Dedication ................................................................................ 21 List of Publications and Presentations ............................................... 22 List of Abbreviations .................................................................... 24 Chapter 1: General Introduction 1.1 .

Dedication To Ron, my shining sun on cloudy days Abstract Ovomucin is a bioactive egg white glycoprotein responsible for its gel-like properties and is believed to be involved in egg white thinning, a natural process that occurs during storage. Ovomucin is composed of two subunits: a carbohydrate-rich β-ovomucin and a carbohydrate-poor α-ovomucin. N- glycosylation of ovomucin was studied by nano LC ESI-MS, MS/MS and MALDI MS. Both proteins were N-glycosylated and site-occupancy of 18 potential N-glycosylation sites in α-ovomucin and two sites in β-ovomucin was determined.

  • Functional Proteins and Peptides of Hen's Egg Origin
    Chapter 5 Functional Proteins and Peptides of Hen’s Egg Origin Adham M. Abdou, Mujo Kim and Kenji Sato Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/54003 1. Introduction Hen’s egg has long history as a food. It contains a great variety of nutrients to sustain both life and growth. Egg provides an excellent, inexpensive and low calorie source of high- quality proteins. Moreover, Eggs are a good source of several important nutrients including protein, total fat, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol, choline, folate, iron, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc and vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, D, E and K [1]. Eggs are also a good source of the antioxidant carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin [2]. The high nutritional properties of eggs make them ideal for many people with special dietary requirements. Egg proteins are nutritionally complete with a good balance of essential amino acids which are needed for building and repairing the cells in muscles and other body tissues [3]. Egg proteins are distributed in all parts of the egg, but most of them are present in the egg white and egg yolk amounting to 50% and 40%, respectively. The remaining amount of protein is in the egg shell and egg shell membranes. In addition to excellent nutritional value, egg proteins have unique biological activities. Hyperimmunized hens could provide a convenient and economic source of specific immunoglobulin in their yolks (IgY) that have been found to be effective in preventing many bacteria and viruses infections [4]. Proteins in the egg white as lysozyme, ovotransferrin, and avidin have proven to exert numerous biological activities.

  • Eggshell Membrane Proteins Provide Innate Immune Protection
    Eggshell Membrane Proteins provide Innate Immune Protection Cristianne Martins Monteiro Cordeiro This Thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Cellular and Molecular Medicine Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa Cristianne Martins Monteiro Cordeiro, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract The microbiological safety of avian eggs is a major concern for the poultry industry and for consumers due to the potential for severe impacts on public health. Innate immune defense is formed by proteins with antimicrobial and immune-modulatory activities and ensures the protection of the chick embryo against pathogens. The objective of this project was to identify the chicken eggshell membrane (ESM) proteins that play a role in these innate immune defense mechanisms. We hypothesized that ESM Ovocalyxin-36 (OCX-36) is a pattern recognition protein, and characterized purified ESM OCX-36. OCX-36 has antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and binds E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and S. aureus lipoteichoic acid (LTA). We additionally investigated the OCX-36 nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at cDNA position 211. The corresponding isoforms (proline-71 or serine-71) were purified from eggs collected from genotyped homozygous hens. A significant difference between Pro- 71 and Ser-71 OCX-36s for S. aureus LTA binding activity was observed. From these experiments, we confirmed the hypothesis that OCX-36 is a pattern recognition molecule. We also found that OCX-36 has anti-endotoxin properties and is a macrophage immunostimulator to produce NO and TNF-α.

Since the Transfac database (1) did not contain all of these TFs, we used PubMed literature searches to determine expression patterns for each. For each transcription factor, we searched PubMed for a combination of the protein and gene names, as determined by both NCBI and UniProt records. For example, Pax7 (gi:2576239; UniProt O42349) was searched as both PAX7 and Pax-7. In each case, articles were manually searched to confirm TF expression. We combined the TF names with the following terms to obtain reported tissue expression patterns: 1. Expression in the bursa. AND bursa* OR DT40 eg.
