Project description:Human milk fat globules, by enveloping cell contents during their secretion into milk, are a rich source of mammary cell RNA. Here, we pair this non-invasive mRNA source with RNA sequencing technology to probe the milk fat layer transcriptome during three stages of lactation: colostral, transitional, and mature milk production. We find that transcriptional profiles cluster not by postpartum day, but by milk Na:K ratio, indicating that women sampled during the same postpartum time frame could be at markedly different stages of gene expression. Each stage of lactation is characterized by a dynamic range (105-fold) in transcript abundances not previously observed with microarray technology. We discovered that transcripts for isoferritins and cathepsins are strikingly abundant during colostrum production, highlighting the potential importance of these proteins for neonatal health. Two transcripts, encoding M-NM-2-casein (CSN2) and a-lactalbumin (LALBA), make up 45% of the total pool of mRNA in mature lactation. Genes significantly expressed across all stages of lactation are associated with making, modifying, transporting, and packaging milk proteins. Stage-specific transcripts are associated with immune defense during the colostral stage, up-regulation of the machinery needed for milk protein synthesis during the transitional stage, and the production of lipids during mature lactation. We observed strong modulation of key genes involved in lactose synthesis and insulin signaling. In particular, PTPRF may serve as a biomarker linking insulin resistance with insufficient milk supply. This study provides the methodology and reference data set to enable future targeted research on the physiological contributors to sub-optimal lactation in humans. Milk fat mRNA profiles were generated from Day 2 and mature milk samples obtained from lactating mothers

Project description:Donkey milk (DM) has been considered a valuable alternative to human and bovine coun-terparts as well as to infant formulas. Milk extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been proposed to influence key biological processes. The purpose of this study is to provide a compre-hensive characterization of the protein composition of extracellular vesicles (EVs) by ex-tending quantitative proteomic comparisons to EVs derived from donkey colostrum (DC) and mature donkey milk (MDM). The EVs were isolated from DC and MDM samples, characterized, and subjected to proteomic analysis using the tandem mass tag-based quantitative approach

Project description:The objective of the present study was to examine the proteome dynamics of somatic cells from colostrum to mature milk. Milk somatic cells are a mixture of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) and immune cells, secreted in milk during milking. Besides protecting the mammary gland, the milk somatic cells have a dual role of contributing to the newborn calf’s health and development and it is unclear how their cargo is altered during the initiation of lactation. Somatic cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation method from milk obtained from buffaloes on postpartum day 1 (D1; colostrum), 4 (D4; early transitional), 7 (D7; late transitional), and 15 (D15; mature). Quantitative proteomic analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/ MS) of homogenate D1, D4, D7, and D15 (n = 6), identified a total of 4429 proteins. 71 proteins were uniquely expressed on D1, while 10, 25 and 15 unique proteins respectively on D4, D7 and D15. Of the high-confidence proteins, 3949 were common among all 4 days of lactation. The significantly changed proteins from the colostrum to mature milk were analyzed using gene ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, and their interactions were generated using the Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database. Results indicated the up-regulated proteins across the days were involved in metabolic processes like PPAR signaling, biosynthesis of lipids, amino acids and cofactors, amino and nucleotide sugar metabolism, glycolysis, and peroxisome. The down-regulated proteins were involved in phospholipid efflux and triglyceride (TG) homeostasis, electrolyte balance, mineral absorption and associated hormone regulation, complement and coagulation cascades, and immune-related functions like negative regulation of cytokine production, antigen processing and presentation, and mRNA processing, etc. Our study provides comprehensive alterations in the milk somatic cell proteome. In conclusion, the changes in biological functions indicate both mammary function/metabolism and the specific developmental requirements during the initial phases of calf development.

Project description:α-Lactalbumin is an abundant protein present in the milk of most mammals, and is associated with biological, nutritional and technological functionality. Its sequence presents N-glycosylation motifs, the occupancy of which is species-specific, ranging from no to full occupancy. Here, we investigated the N-glycosylation of bovine α-lactalbumin in colostrum and milk sampled from four individual cows, each at 9 time points starting from the day of calving up to one month post-partum. Using a glycopeptide-centric mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics approach, we identified N-glycosylation at both Asn residues found in the canonical Asn-Xxx-Ser/Thr motif, i.e., Asn45 and Asn74 of the secreted protein. We found similar glycan profiles in all four cows, with partial site occupancies averaging at 35% and 4% for Asn45 and Asn74, respectively. No substantial changes in occupancy occurred over lactation at either site. Fucosylation, sialylation primarily with N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and a high ratio of N,N'-diacetyllactosamine (LacdiNAc)/N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) antennae were characteristic biochemical features of the identified N-glycans. While no substantial changes occurred in site occupancy at either site during lactation, the glycoproteoform profile revealed lactational dynamics; the maturation of the α-lactalbumin glycoproteoform repertoire from colostrum to mature milk was marked by substantial increases in neutral glycans and the number of LacNAc antennae per glycan, at the expense of LacdiNAc antennae. While the implications of α-lactalbumin N-glycosylation on functionality are still unclear, we speculate that N-glycosylation at Asn74 results in a structurally and functionally different protein, due to competition with the formation of its two intra-molecular disulphide bridges.

Project description:The protein profile of bovine milk serum was characterised as milk transitions from colostrum to transition milk over the first 5 days of lactation. Samples were collected from first and third parity cows at days 0, 2, 5 (D0, D2, D5) after calving. Following isolation of the milk serum fraction, label-free quantitative proteomics was carried out following normalisation by total protein concentration. Protein profiles indicated samples clustered by day postpartum, but not by parity. Proteins (n = 471) were identified and relative quantification was performed, with 199 protein groups showing altered abundance by day of lactation (fold change ≥ 2, P < 0.05). Elevated levels of immune proteins, including immunoglobulins and complement proteins were detected in colostrum with levels significantly decreasing by D2. These findings provide an outline of the dynamics of the protein profile of bovine milk and colostrum in early lactation.

Project description:The Jeryak is the hybrid offspring of yaks and Jersey cattle and exhibit improved milk and meat yields. Biomolecules carried within milk exosomes are important for cell growth, development, immune regulation, and various pathophysiological processes. Previous studies showed that miRNAs regulate mammary gland development, lactation, and milk quality. This study explored the relationship between milk exosomes miRNAs and lactation performance. A comparison of the milk content showed that yak milk was of a better quality compared to Jeryak milk (casein, fat, TS, SNF, lactose). Milk collected in December was superior to that collected in June for both yak and Jeryak, except for lactose concentrations. Exosomes were extracted by density gradient centrifugation and miRNA expression profiles in milk exosomes from three yaks and three Jeryaks collected in June and December were detected by small RNA sequencing. In all, 22, 120, 78, and 62 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified in Jun_ JY vs. Jun_ Y (P1: Jeryak in June vs. Yak in June), Jun_ JY vs. Dec_ JY (P2: Jeryak in June vs. Jeryak in December), Dec_ JY vs. Dec_ Y (P3: Jeryak in December vs. Yak in December), and Jun_ Y vs. Dec_ Y (P4: Yak in June vs. Yak in December) groups. These DEMs were enriched in functions and signaling pathways related to lactation performance. In conclusion, these findings are a reference tool to study the molecular basis of lactation performance.

Project description:Milk is an easily digestible source of nutrients and bioactive factors, and its composition reflects the neonate's needs and changes from colostrum to transitional and mature milk. Our objective was to measure milk fat, lactose, total carbohydrate, and protein content in parallel with global proteome of homogenate milk samples to characterize changes across the three phases of swine lactation. Milk samples were collected from multiparous sows on postnatal day 0 (D0: colostrum), 3 (D3: early transitional), 7 (D7: late transitional) and 14 (D14: mature). Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry proteomic analysis of homogenate D0, D3, and D14 milk samples (n=6) identified 772 proteins corresponding to 501 non-redundant protein-coding genes, of which 207 proteins were high confidence (detected in n=3 sows/day). Of the high confidence proteins, 81 were common to all days. Among the proteins that changed between the days was the decrease in multiple apolipoproteins and the milk fat globule membrane protein XDH. There were variable changes in complement factors, where as 14-3-3 proteins (YWHAQ,YWHAE) increased across the days. Our data provide a good characterization of milk proteome changes that likely reflect mammary function as well as the neonate's phase-specific developmental needs. These data, may be useful in developing approaches to enhance the health and welfare of swine.
