In vitro effects of nonesterified fatty acids and β-hydroxybutyric acid on inflammatory cytokine expression in bovine peripheral blood leukocytes

Negative energy balance (NEB) occurs in dairy cows during the transition period, during which time the blood concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and metabolic ketones such as β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) are elevated. These increased levels may disrupt immune functions and are regarde...

Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of NEFAs and BHBA on inflammatory cytokine expression in bovine peripheral leukocytes in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) were collected from 16 Holstein cows and treated for 4 h with NEFA (0.1, 0.6, and 1.5 mM) or BHBA (5 and 10 mM), alone or combination with lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 1 µg/mL).

Combination treatment of LPS with NEFA further increased the levels of IL-10 expression in PBMCs and IL-1β and IL-6 expression in PMNLs. Taken together, these findings suggest that NEFA and BHBA enhance the expression of inflammatory cytokines in PBMCs and PMNLs and may disrupt the immune regulation of peripheral leukocytes, leading to an increased risk of inflammatory disorders.
