Liver X Receptor α Activation Enhances Cholesterol Secretion in Lactating Mammary Epithelium

ABSTRACT: We profiled differential gene expression in vivo between pregnant day 14 (secretory differentiation) and lactation day 4 (established secretory activation) using isolated mouse mammary epithelial cells depleted of the mammary adipocytes. Liver-X-Receptors are ligand-dependent transcription factors activated by cholesterol metabolites. These receptors induce a suite of target genes required for de novo synthesis of triglycerides and cholesterol transport in many tissues. Two different isoforms -LXRα and LXRβ- have been well characterized in liver, adipocytes, macrophages and intestinal epithelium among others, but their contribution to cholesterol and fatty acid efflux in the lactating mammary gland is poorly understood. We hypothesize that LXR regulates lipogenesis during milk fat production in lactation. Global mRNA analysis of mouse mammary epithelial cells (MECs) revealed multiple LXR/RXR targets are upregulated sharply at the onset of lactation compared to mid-pregnancy. LXRα is the primary isoform and its protein levels increase throughout lactation in MECs. The LXR agonist GW3965 markedly induced several genes involved in cholesterol transport and lipogenesis and enhanced cytoplasmic lipid droplet accumulation in the HC11 MEC cell line. Importantly, in vivo pharmacological activation of LXR increased the milk cholesterol percentage and induced Srebp1c and Abca7 expression in MECs. Cumulatively, our findings identify LXRα as an important regulator of cholesterol incorporation into the milk through key nodes of de novo lipogenesis, suggesting a potential therapeutic target in women with difficulty initiating lactation.

Isolation and Identification of Mammary Epithelial Cells from Goat Milk

Project description:Mammary epithelial cells (MECs) have strong secretory function, which is an important target cell for studying mammary gland bioreactor. It is also a unique cell with lactation function in mammary gland. It can be used to study cell biological characteristics and molecular biological mechanism in the process of mammary gland growth, development and lactation. At present, mammary epithelial cells are obtained from mammary tissue, and the extraction of tissue block involves surgical anesthesia, which may lead to breast tissue injury and infection. This study aimed to describe the process of isolating and culturing goat mammary epithelial cells (GMECs) from goat milk, and to identify the biological characteristics of GMECs. Our study laid a foundation for the study of the regulation mechanism of mammary gland development and lactation, the improvement of milk quality, the increase of milk production and the establishment of mammary gland bioreactor.

Transcription profiling of mouse mammary gland at key stages in development

Project description:The transition from pregnancy to lactation is a critical event in the survival of the newborn since all the nutrient requirements of the infant are provided by milk. While milk contains numerous components, including proteins, that aid in maintaining the health of the infant, lactose and milk fat represent the critical energy providing elements of milk. Much of the research to date on mammary epithelial differentiation has focused upon expression of milk protein genes, providing a somewhat distorted view of alveolar differentiation and secretory activation. While expression of milk protein genes increases during pregnancy and at secretory activation, the genes whose expression is more tightly regulated at this transition are those that regulate lipid biosynthesis. The sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) family of transcription factors is recognized as regulating fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis. We propose that SREBP1 is a critical regulator of secretory activation with regard to lipid biosynthesis, in a manner that responds to diet, and that the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt influences this process, resulting in a highly efficient lipid synthetic organ that is able to support the nutritional needs of the newborn. Experiment Overall Design: Key points are examined in a time series of FVB mouse mammary gland development, secretory activation, lactation and involution. Quadruplicate mice (four biological replicates) at each time point were used for statistical power totalling 40 individual arrays in this study. Mice were as staged pregnant day 1 the day that post coital plug was observed, and similarly, lactation day 1 was the first day after birth. Involution day 2 is a forced weening model, where day 9 lactating dams had their litters removed for two days and then the dams were killed.

Expression profiling on lactation day 2 mammary epithelial cells from constitutive miR-150 expressing mice compared to controls.

Project description:Constitutive expression of miR-150 in mammary epithelium causes severe lactation defects. Mammary epithelial cells (MECs) at lactation day 2 were isolated from four homozygous ROSA26-lox-STOP-lox-miR-150 (Stop-150) mice with WAP-driven Cre (WAP-Cre) and compared to MECs from four WAP-Cre control mice. Statistical analysis of the mRNA changes between the two genotypes identified supression of many lipid and cholesterol synthesis genes due to constitutive expression of miR-150.

Liver X receptor beta is the dominant LXR subtype in skeletal muscle

Project description:Liver X receptors (LXRs) are important regulators of cholesterol, lipid and glucose metabolism and have been extensively studied in liver, macrophages and adipose tissue. However, their role in skeletal muscle is not yet fully elucidated and the functional role of each of the LXRα and LXRβ subtypes in skeletal muscle is at present unknown. To study the importance of each of the receptor subtypes, myotube cultures derived from wild type (WT), LXRα and LXRβ knockout (KO) mice were established. The present study shows that treatment with the unselective LXR agonist T0901317 increased mRNA levels of LXR target genes such as sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in myotubes established from WT and LXRα KO mice. However, only minor changes in expression level were observed for these genes after treatment with T0901317 in myotubes from LXRβ KO mice. Gene expression analysis using Affymetrix NuGO Genechip arrays showed that few other genes than the classical, well known LXR target genes were regulated by LXR in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, functional studies using radiolabeled substrates showed that treatment with T0901317 increased lipogenesis and apoA1 dependent cholesterol efflux, in myotubes from WT and LXRα KO mice, but not LXRβ KO mice. The data suggest that the lipogenic effects of LXRs, as well as the LXR-stimulated cholesterol efflux, are mainly mediated by LXRβ in skeletal muscle.

Expression of milk miRNA during the lactation cycle of the marsupial tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii)

Project description:High throughput sequencing of miRNAs collected from tammar milk at different time points of lactation showed high levels of miRNA secreted in milk and allowed the identification of differentially expressed milk miRNAs during the lactation cycle as putative markers of mammary gland activity and functional candidate signals to assist growth and timed development of the young. Comparative analysis of miRNA distribution in milk and blood serum suggests that milk miRNAs are primarily expressed from mammary gland rather than transferred from maternal circulating blood, likely through a new putative exosomal secretory pathway. 8 profiles were produced. Duplicates of day175

microRNA expression in postnatal mammary gland development -Pregnancy Day14 and Lactation day 2

Project description:Previoulsly miRNA expression profiling of the whole mammary gland across different stages of pregnancy and lactation has been performed in mice. Since mammary gland has both epithelial and stromal compartments, to specifically identify the miRNAs involved in the transition from pregnancy to lactation a process termed as secretory activation, expression profiling of isolated mammary epithelial cells (MECs) from four CD1 mice each at Pregnancy day 14 (P14) and Lactation day 2 (L2) was performed in the current study. Statistical analysis of the miRNA changes between P14 and L2 identified 32 miRNAs to be differentially expressed with a fold change greater than or equal to 2, of which, the majority of them declinied at the onset of lactation.

Xenobiotic transporter gene expression in isolated lactating and non-lactating human mammary epithelial cells

Project description:Despite the documented benefits of breastfeeding and major governmental advocacy efforts, a paucity of data exists regarding the transfer of most drugs into breast milk. Passive diffusion governs the extent of accumulation for most drugs and the exposure risk can therefore be predicted using mathematical models. However, examples of xenobiotic accumulation into breast milk well above that predicted by passive diffusion have been documented and attributed to drug transport. A thorough evaluation of the expression of xenobiotic transporters in mammary epithelial cells (MECs), the cells that form the anatomical barrier between maternal serum and breastmilk, during lactation is necessary to determine the drugs for which an active transport mechanism governs transfer into breast milk and to improve predictive models. We used microarrays to evaluate gene expression in human mammary epithelial cells and identified xenobiotic trasnporter genes that were upregulated during lactation.
