摘要
Mastitis caused by multiple factors remains one of the most common and costly disease of the dairy industry. Multi-omics approaches enable the comprehensive investigation of the complex interactions between multiple layers of information to provide a more holistic view of disease pathogenesis. Therefore, this study investigated the genomic and epigenomic signatures and the possible regulatory mechanisms underlying subclinical mastitis by integrating RNA sequencing data (mRNA and lncRNA), small RNA sequencing data (miRNA) and DNA methylation sequencing data of milk somatic cells from 10 healthy cows and 20 cows with naturally occurring subclinical mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus chromogenes. Functional investigation of the data sets through gene set analysis uncovered 3458 biological process GO terms and 170 KEGG pathways with altered activities during subclinical mastitis, provided further insights into subclinical mastitis and revealed the involvement of multi-omics signatures in the altered immune responses and impaired mammary gland productivity during subclinical mastitis. The abundant genomic and epigenomic signatures with significant alterations related to subclinical mastitis were observed, including 30,846, 2552, 1276 and 57 differential methylation haplotype blocks (dMHBs), differentially expressed genes (DEGs), lncRNAs (DELs) and miRNAs (DEMs), respectively. Next, 5 factors presenting the principal variation of differential multi-omics signatures were identified. The important roles of Factor 1 (DEG, DEM and DEL) and Factor 2 (dMHB and DEM), in the regulation of immune defense and impaired mammary gland functions during subclinical mastitis were revealed. Each of the omics within Factors 1 and 2 explained about 20
