Mycoplasma mycoides  subsp.  mycoides  ( Mmm ) is the etiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), one of the major diseases affecting cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Some evidences suggest that the immune system of the host (cattle) plays an important role in the pathogenic mechanism of CBPP, but the factors involved in the process remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the cell response of bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) after  Mmm in vitro  exposure using one step RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Data obtained indicate that gene and protein expression levels of some pro-inflammatory factors already change upon 30 min of PMNs exposure to  Mmm . Of note, mRNA expression level in  Mmm  exposed PMNs increased in a time-dependent manner and for all time points investigated; targets expression was also detected by Western blotting in  Mmm  exposed PMNs only. These data demonstrate that when bovine PMN cells are triggered by  Mmm , they undergo molecular changes, upregulating mRNA and protein expression of specific pro-inflammatory factors. These results provide additional information on host-pathogen interaction during CBPP infection.
