Özet
Ovine pulmonary adenomatosis (OPA) is a contagious pulmonary tumor of sheep caused by Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus, whereas Maedi is a chronic lentiviral infection characterized by persistent pulmonary inflammation. Although both diseases affect the lung, their interaction during natural co-infection remains poorly understood. This study investigated how chronic Maedi infection may influence inflammatory, oncogenic, and apoptotic signaling pathways in OPA-affected lung tissue. Lung samples from naturally infected sheep were classified by PCR and histopathological examination into Maedi (n = 6), OPA (n = 6), and Maedi+OPA co-infection (n = 6) groups. Key inflammatory, oncogenic, and apoptotic markers were evaluated at the protein and transcript levels. Maedi and mixed infection groups showed increased activation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression …
