The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Involucrin (INV) is a well-known early stage marker of terminal keratinocyte differentiation in humans. Besides its importance in human cancer, it has been predicted to be a prognostic marker in canine skin cancer. However, there is very little information available on canine INV. Therefore, for the first time, a three-dimensional (3D) cultured canine keratinocyte cell line was evaluated for the expression level of INV and two other cancer prognostic parameters, cytokeratin 10 (CK10) and Ki67, compared to that in canine normal skin (CN) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) cells. The INV protein and transcript expression levels were significantly (p < 0.005) higher in canine CN compared to in CSCC, whereas Ki67 expression levels were significantly (p < 0.05) lower in CN than in CSCC. The culture of a commercial canine keratinocyte cell line (CPEK; CELLnTEC Advanced Cell Systems, Switzerland) to produce the 3D epidermal skin was successfully achieved under an air-liquid interface for 14 d of culture. There was no statistical difference in the INV and CK10 expression levels between the 3D-cultured CPEK cells and CN. A custom designed INV siRNA transfected at 300 pmol showed the high efficacy of INV knockdown with minimum cytotoxicity to cultured CPEK cells, significantly reducing the INV mRNA expression level after 5 h transfection for up to 48 h. This is the first report on the custom design of siRNA transfection in monolayer cultured CPEK cells for INV gene knockdown in dogs and it could be useful for future studies on the carcinogenesis of CSCC.

Although the major dog population in Thailand is the Thai native dog, its anatomy has rarely been studied. This study aimed to investigate anatomical variations of the canine coeliac trunk (CT) in Thailand by observing 62 cadavers including 46 Thai native dogs and 16 non-Thai native dogs. All cadavers were preserved in formalin solution, and the arteries were illustrated by injection of red coloured latex. Variations of CT were initially classified into 2 main types and 7 subtypes (type 1a-e and 2a-b) basedon the previous reports. Type 1 was described as CT separated from the cranial mesenteric artery (CMA) while …

Staphylococcus aureusis the leading cause of mastitis in dairy goats and is globally recognized as a significant mastitis-causing pathogen in dairy animals. Previous studies have established it as the causative agent of various human disorders, including food poisoning and Staphylococcal enterotoxins. Furthermore, poor sanitary conditions suit infection by this bacterium. This study determined the occurrence of S. aureusin infected dairy goats by molecular analysis. A hundred raw milk samples were collected from two infected dairy goat breeds (Beetal = 71; Teddy = 29) and cultured on blood agar media. The strain identified as S. aureusby morphological method (Gram staining), biochemical …

Competitive exclusion (CE) relies on the activity of normal flora to limit intestinal colonization by enteric pathogens. This study aims to investigate the effects of CEon Salmonellainfectionin broilers. The protective effect of CE on Salmonella cecal colonization was evaluated in 1 day-old chicks.In the laboratory trial, CE products were administered by oral inoculation, drinking water and whole body spray. Three days after treatment,the chickens were challenged with 107cfu/mL of SalmonellaEnteritidisorally, and were evaluated for 10 days. The CE-treated chickens showed comparable protection andthe number of Salmonella in the cecal contents significantly decreased(P<0.05)compared with those of the positive control. In the farm trial,CE was administeredby whole body spray at the hatchery and the second was administered by drinking water and evaluated at 32 and 42 days, respectively. The CE significantly reduced Salmonellacontamination in the farm trial andno Salmonellawas detected in the cecal contents compared with the control group. Average body weight gains, feed conversion ratioand theperformance indexof the chickens were greater than thecontrol group. Thus, the use of CEhad a positive effect on broiler performance. Furthermore, the CE-treated chickens displayed greater intestinal histology including villous height, submuscular layerand cell mitosis.These studies demonstrate that CEwas able to protect chickens from Salmonella cecalcolonization and it is apparent that new methodologies associated with the development of a workable CE program are needed in thepoultry industry.
