β-Hydroxybutyrate-induced mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release mediated innate inflammatory response in bovine mammary epithelial cells by inhibiting autophagy by Yihui Huo, Taiyu Shen, Tianyin Feng, Moli Li, Wanli Zhao, Juan J. Loor, Ben Aernouts, Androniki Psifidi, Chuang Xu

“…Results Our study found an increased cytoplasmic mtDNA abundance in mammary gland tissues of dairy cows with ketosis and bovine mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T) subjected to BHB stress. Further investigations revealed the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and inflammatory response, indicated by elevated levels of cGAS and STING, along with increased phosphorylation levels of TBK1, P65, and IκB, and higher transcript levels of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1B, IL-6, and TNF-α) in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. …”
