155 Effects of sustained hyperprolactinemia in late gestation on the mammary parenchymal transcriptome of gilts

ABSTRACT: Abstract The study objective was to determine the effects of hyperprolactinemia on the mammary parenchymal transcriptome in late-pregnant gilts. Gilts were divided into 3 groups on day 90 of gestation to receive IM injections of 1) canola oil (CTL, n = 18) until day 109 of gestation, 2) domperidone (dopamine antagonist) until day 96 (T7, n = 17) or, 3) domperidone until day 109 (T20, n = 17). Mammary glands were collected on day 110 and parenchymal tissue was sampled for transcriptomic analyses. Total RNA was isolated from 6 CTL and 6 T20 gilts for microarray analysis. The GeneChip® Porcine Gene 1.0 ST Array (19,202 genes) was used for hybridization. Array quality control, data normalization and expression level analyses were performed with the Affymetrix Expression Console and Transcripto
