Project description:The aim of the present study was to correlate lipid metabolism genes in the mammary gland tissue affected by stage of lactation and nutrition to the resulting milk fatty acids composition in grazing dairy cows, and to classify milk fatty acid (FA) groups based on variations in lipid metabolism gene expression patterns. Identifying the relationship between lipid metabolism genes in the mammary gland tissue and the resulting milk fatty acid composition is expected to greatly contribute to our understanding of milk fatty acid metabolism and to enhance opportunities to improve milk fat composition through nutrition. In fact, SNCA, SCD5, and PNPLA2 lipid metabolism-related genes affected by unsaturated fatty acids supplementation, were found to strongly correlated to different milk FA groups, but also contributed most to the classification of these FA groups, suggesting a significant role in mediating the lipid metabolism in the mammary gland tissue and determining the milk fatty acids composition. A total of 28 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows in mid-lactation were blocked according to parity (2.4 ± 0.63 years), days in milk (DIM; 153 ± 32.8 days), milk yield (25.7 ± 3.08 kg/d) and fat content (4.3 ± 0.12%). Cows were then randomly assigned to four UFA-sources based on rapeseed, soybean, linseed or a mixture of the three oils for 23 days (Period I) after which, all 28 cows were switched to a control diet for an additional 28 days (Period II). On the last day of both periods, mammary gland biopsies were taken to study genome-wide differences in lipid metabolism gene expression.

Project description:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of unprotected dietary unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) from different plant oils on gene expression in the mammary gland of grazing dairy cows. Milk composition and gene expression in the mammary gland tissue were evaluated in grazing dairy cows supplemented with different unsaturated fatty acids (UFA). The UFA supplementation improves the health and nutrition quality aspects of dairy milk, but also affects the gene networks expression signature associated with cellular growth and proliferation, cell-death, signalling, nutrient metabolism, and immune response, and in turn, the mammary gland integrity and health. A total of 28 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows in mid-lactation were blocked according to parity (2.4 ± 0.63 years), days in milk (DIM; 153 ± 32.8 days), milk yield (25.7 ± 3.08 kg/d) and fat content (4.3 ± 0.12%).

Project description:Maternal health and diet can have important consequences for offspring nutrition and metabolic health. Signals are communicated from the mother to the infant during lactation through milk via macronutrients, hormones and bioactive molecules. In this study we designed experiments to probe the mother-milk-infant triad in the condition of normal maternal health and upon exposure to high fat diet (HFD) with or without concurrent metformin exposure. We examined maternal characteristics, milk composition and offspring metabolic parameters on postnatal day 16, prior to offspring beginning to wean. We found that lactational HFD increased maternal adipose tissue, mammary gland adipocytes, and altered milk lipid composition causing a higher amount of n-6 long chain fatty acids and lower n-3. Offspring of HFD dams were heavier with more body fat during suckling. Metformin exposure decreased maternal glucose and several amino acids. Offspring of met dams were smaller during suckling. Gene expression in the lactating mammary glands was impacted to a greater extent by metformin but both metformin and HFD altered genes related to muscle contraction, indicating that these genes may be more susceptible to lactational stressors. Our study demonstrates the impact of common maternal exposures during lactation on milk composition, mammary gland function and offspring growth with metformin having little capacity to recuse from the effects of a maternal HFD during lactation.

Project description:Nutrition affects milk composition influencing its nutritional properties. Nutrition also modifies the expression of mammary genes, whose regulation is not completely known. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA that work as important post-transcriptional gene expression regulators by targeting messenger RNAs. Our goal was to characterize miRNA whose expression is regulated by nutrition in the lactating goat mammary gland, and which may give clues to decipher the regulations of milk components biosynthesis and secretion. Using high-throughput sequencing technology, miRNomes of the lactating mammary gland have been established from 4 goats fed ad libitum and 6 goats food deprived during 48h. Food deprivation affected the expression of 30 miRNA (padj<0.1), 16 were downregulated and 14 were upregulated. Prediction tools Diana-microT suggests a potential role of several nutriregulated miRNA in the lipid metabolism. Among putative targets 19 differently expressed genes (DEG) previously identified in the same sample, were found. Functions of these 19 DEG revealed their involvement in tissue remodeling. This study constitutes the first evidence of nutriregulated miRNA in the ruminant mammary gland. The characterization of these 30 miRNA could contribute to a better understanding of genes regulations in the mammary gland in response to nutrition.

Project description:The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the DGAT1 K232A polymorphism on the global mRNA expression pattern of genes in the mammary gland tissue of grazing dairy cows in order to get more insight into the effects of this polymorphism on the physiology of the mammary glandgland of grazing dairy cows. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes whose expression was affected by the DGAT1 polymorphism in the mammary gland biopsies of 9 A232A cows, 13 K232A cows, and 4 K232K cows. The Microarray Analysis of Variance (MAANOVA) and Factor Analysis for Multiple Testing method (FAMT) were used to associate the expression of the genes present on Affymettrix Bovine Genome Arrays with the DGAT1 polymorphism. The data was also analysed at the level of functional modules by gene set enrichment analysis. In this experimental setting, DGAT1 polymorphism did not modify milk yield and composition significantly, although changes occurred in the yields of C14:0, C16:1cis-9, and some long chain fatty acids in milk. The DGAT1 polymorphism resulted in 30 differentially expressed genes related to cell growth, proliferation and development, signalling, remodelling and immune system. At the functional level, the pathways most affected by DGAT1 polymorphism were related to lipid biosynthesis, which likely reflected counter mechanisms of mammary tissue to respond to changes in milk FA composition, signalling, as well as immune system responses.

A total of 28 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows in mid-lactation (DIM; 153 M-BM-1 32.8 days), milk yield (25.7 M-BM-1 3.08 kg/d) and fat content (4.3 M-BM-1 0.12%) were used in the study. Two consecutive milk samples (a.m. and p.m. milking) were obtained and pooled. One aliquot was stored at 4M-BM-0C until analysis of fat, protein and lactose percentage, and another aliquot was frozen at -20M-BM-0C until analysis for FA composition by gas chromatography. Specific details regarding the analysis of FA in milk are presented in Mach et al. (2011). Approximately 750 to 1,000 mg of mammary tissue from each cow was obtained by surgical biopsy. One part of the tissue was used for isolation of DNA and the other for extraction of the RNA. Genotyping of the DGAT1 polymorphism was performed using a TaqMan allelic discrimination method in an Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) as described by Schennink et al. (2007). The genotype at the DGAT1 locus was designated KK, KA, or AA for homozygous Lysine, heterozygous Lysine/Alanine, or homozygous Alanine, respectively. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes whose expression was affected by the DGAT1 polymorphism in the mammary gland biopsies of 11 A232A cows, 13 K232A cows, and 4 K232K cows. Total RNA from mammary gland tissue (50-100 mg) was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Breda, The Netherlands), following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. The RNA purity and concentrations were determined using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Isogen, Maarssen, the Netherlands), and the RNA quality was assessed using the BioAnalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). The RNA of each biopsy was amplified, biotin-labeled, and hybridized to single-dye Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Bovine Genome Array (#900493) by ServiceXS (Leiden, the Netherlands)

Project description:Animal nutrition considerably affects milk composition that influences its nutritional quality. Milk component synthesis and secretion by the mammary gland involve expression of a large number of genes whose nutritional regulation remains poorly defined. In this study, we examined the effect of food deprivation (FD) on the expression of 8379 genes in caprine mammary gland using a bovine oligonucleotide microarray. Twelve lactating goats were assigned to 2 groups based on their feeding level (control diet ad libitum vs. 48-h FD). We identified 161 genes whose expression was altered by FD. Most of these genes (88%) were downregulated, suggesting a stress response by the mammary gland. In particular, the decrease in expression of genes involved in milk protein, lactose, and lipid metabolism could contribute together with the shortage of nutrients to the drop in milk protein, lactose, and fat secretion. In addition, this study highlights modification of the expression of at least 14 genes that could be responsible for a slowdown in mammary cell proliferation and differentiation and/or an increase in programmed cell death in response to 48-h FD in goats.
