Crucial gene networks for fatty acid metabolism during lactation revealed by RNA-Sequencing of the goat mammary gland

ABSTRACT: Milk fatty acids secreted by the mammary glands are one of the most important determinants of the nutritional value of goat milk. However, there are few data available on the transcriptome-wide changes across lactation in the goat. In this study, goat mammary tissue from the periods encompassing lactation, cessation of milking and involution were used for digital gene expression sequencing (DGE) using the goat transcriptome as reference sequence. A total of 51299 unigenes were identified and annotated to 12763 genes, of which 9131 genes were differentially expressed (DEG) among the various stages of lactation. Functional classification through KOG, GO, and KEGG was used for selection of the top expressed genes and the differentially expressed genes (DEG). DEG series-cluster analysis revealed 16 possible expression patterns. Using co-expression analysis, within the lipid transport and metabolism KOG categories, PLA2, CPT1, PLD had the most number of correlated genes. GGA, SRPRB and AP4S1 were the top 3 with the highest number of correlated genes associated with intracellular trafficking, secretion, and vesicular transport. These data may provide candidate genes with a high probability of having functional roles in regulating of goat fatty acid metabolism during the various stages of 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.

A food deprivation affects the miRNome in the lactating goat mammary gland

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.

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

Project description: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.

Gene expression of lipid metabolism-related genes correlated with milk fatty acids in dairy cows

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.

Screening and functional investigation of miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism in dairy goat mammary gland

Project description:Fat metabolism is a complicated process regulated by a series of factors. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of negative regulator of proteins and play crucial roles in many biological processes, including fat metabolism. Although there have been some researches indicating that miRNAs could influence the milk fat metabolism through targeting some factors, little is known about the effect of miRNAs on goat milk fat metabolism. Here we utilized an improved miRNA detection assay, S-Poly(T), to profile the expression of miRNAs in the goat mammary gland in early-lactation and dry-lactation. Overall, we found 146 miRNAs expression changed between early-lactation and dry-lactation, with 81 up-regulation and 65 down-regulation, among which the miR-27a, miR-200a and miR-200c have been reported to be involved in the milk fat metabolism process.

Dynamic profiles of the Yak mammary transcriptome during lactation

Project description:Dynamic transcriptome profiles in yak mammary gland were evaluated by sampling mammary tissue at -30, -15, 1, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 d relative to parturition and using a bovine commercial microarray platform. Several bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the data, both as expression relative to -30 d and as expression relative to the previous time point. There were >6,000 differentially expressed transcript (DEG; FDR＜0.05; P＜0.05) throughout lactation with larger DEG observed at the onset (1 vs. -15d) and at the end of lactation (240 vs. 180d). Bioinformatics analysis allowed to identify lactation-related genes on yak chromosomes which laid the foundation for determination of QTL location. Among most-impacted bovine chromosomes (BTA), BTA6, BTA9 and BTA28 were induced while BTA3, BTA4 and BTA14 were inhibited throughout lactation. Functional analysis underlined an overall induction of lipid metabolism, suggesting increases in triglycerides synthesis likely regulated by PPAR signaling. Data suggested induction of amino acid metabolism while increasing secretion or protein, but decreasing proteasome, indicating a major role of amino acid handling and reduced protein degradation in the synthesis and secretion of milk proteins. Glycan biosynthesis, both for N-glycan and O-glycan, was induced suggesting increased glycan content in milk. Cell cycle and immune response, especially antigen processing and presentation, were strongly inhibited during lactation suggesting morphological changes were minimized while the mammary gland prevents immune hyper responses during lactation. Transcripts associated with response to radiation and low oxygen were enriched in the down-regulated DEG affected by stage of lactation. Except for the latter, functions affected by the transcriptomic adaptation to lactation in mammary tissue of yak were very similar to the ones observed in dairy cows.

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.
