Effects of Cow's Milk Processing on MicroRNA Levels.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression and might resist adverse physicochemical conditions, which makes them potential biomarkers. They are being investigated as biomarkers of dairy production systems, based on the variations in their levels in raw milk depending on animal diet and management. Whether miRNA levels can serve as biomarkers for dairy products remains unclear, since technological or culinary treatments, such as fermentation, may alter their levels. Here, 10 cow dairy farms were sampled in Asturias (north-west Spain) and milk samples were subjected to microwave heating or used to produce yogurt or cheese. Total RNA was isolated from raw milk and three derived products, and levels of seven miRNAs, selected based on previous studies as possible milk production system biomark
