Role of breast milk lipid composition in postnatal brain development.

ABSTRACT:

Lipids in the brain play a crucial role as structural and signaling molecules, accounting for approximately 60% of the brain’s dry weight. Several lipid classes exhibit concentration profile differences between humans and other species, including closely related primates, with the most pronounced differences occurring during the first year of life. The long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) that accumulate specifically in the brain are largely derived from nutrition – primarily breast milk during infancy. In this study, we analyze 837 milk samples from seven mammalian species and 194 brain samples from four mammalian species across two brain regions using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). We show that differences in brain fatty acid composition are reflected in milk fatty acid composition and identify human-specific lipids present in both breast milk and the brain. Our findings highlight the influence of milk composition on brain development and suggest its potential role in shaping the unique cognitive features of the human brain.

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.

Impact of CSN1S1 polymorphism on mammary transcriptome of food-deprived lactating goats

Project description:Genetic (animal species, breed and genotype) has a considerable effect on milk composition. In particular, goats present a remarkable polymorphism at the alpha-S1-casein (CSN1S1) locus which results in large differences in milk protein content and indirectly in milk fat content and its fatty acids composition. In order to decipher the mammary metabolic pathways involved, we examined the effect of CSN1S1 polymorphism on the expression of 8,379 genes in caprine mammary gland using a bovine oligonucleotide microarray. Six 48-h food-deprived lactating goats were assigned to 2 groups based on their genotype at the CSN1S1 locus: High vs. Low genotype goats carrying, respectively, two reference alleles associated with high CSN1S1 synthesis and two defective alleles associated with low CSN1S1 synthesis. Keywords: Genotype comparison

Transcription profiling by array of pig liver from neonatal pigs fed milk and soy formula

Project description:The majority of babies in the US are formula-fed instead of breast fed. There are major differences in the composition of formulas and breast milk and yet little is known about metabolic differences in babies as the result of feeding these very different diets and how that might affect development or disease risk in later life. One concern is that soy-based formulas might have adverse health effects in babies as a result of the presence of low levels of estrogenic phytochemicals genistein and daidzein which are normally present in soy beans. In the current study, we used a piglet model to look at this question. Piglets were either fed breast milk from the sow or were fed two different infant formulas (cow's milk-based or soy-based) from age 2 days to 21 days when pigs are normally weaned onto solid food. Blood glucose and lipids were measured. Formula-fed pigs were found to have lower cholesterol than breast fed piglets and in addition had larger stores of iron in their liver.Microarray analysis was carried out to see if changes in liver gene expression could explain these effects of formula feeding. It was found that overall gene expression profiles were influenced by formula feeding compared to breast fed neonates. Gender-independent and unique effects of formula influenced cholesterol and iron metabolism. Further, soy formula feeding in comparison to milk-based formula failed to reveal any estrogenic actions on hepatic gene expression in either male or female pigs. Piglets (female, male) were either fed breast milk from the sow or were fed two different infant formulas (cow's milk-based or soy-based) from age 2 days to 21 days when pigs are normally weaned onto solid food.

Alteration of gene expression in mammary gland tissue of dairy cows in response to dietary unsaturated fatty acids

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%). 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.

The effect of LAO1 in mouse breast milk on the offspring hippocampal brain

Project description:L-amino acid oxidase 1 (LAO1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-amino acids to α-keto acids, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. Previous studies have shown that offspring fed breast milk from LAO1 knockout (KO) mice show clear differences in gut microbiota composition compared to both wild-type (WT) and LAO1 KO mice. LAO1 KO mice also show impaired hippocampal memory function. The primary objective of this study is to determine how changes in the gut microbiota induced by breast milk in LAO1 KO mice affect the brain development of their offspring. To account for potential effects of endogenous LAO1, foster parents were switched on the day the pups were born, with the mother mice being either WT or LAO1 KO and the pups themselves being LAO1 KO. Hippocampi were collected from these mice at postnatal 10 days of age and microarray analysis was performed to reveal altered gene expression associated with the myelin.

Infant milk formula enriched in dairy cream brings its digestibility closer to human milk and supports intestinal health

Project description:Human breast milk (HBM) is the “gold standard” for infant nutrition. When breast milk is insufficient or unavailable, infant milk formula (IMF) can provide a safe and nutritious alternative. However, IMFs often differ considerably from HBM in composition, particularly fatty acid profiles, and health function. Here, we compared the digestibility and potential health functions of IMF containing low cream (LC-) or high cream (HC-) content compared to pooled HBM. After simulated infant digestion of these samples, bioavailability of key nutrients and immunomodulatory activities were determined via cell-based in-vitro assays. A Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) leaky gut model was also established to investigate effects on gut health. Distinct differences were observed in higher diversity of peptides released from HC-IMF when compared to LC-IMF during simulated digestion. Higher levels of free fatty acids were absorbed through 21-day differentiated Caco-2/HT-29MTX monolayers from HC-IMF, when compared to LC-IMF and HBM. Furthermore, the immune-modulating properties of HC-IMF appeared to be more in line with HBM than LC-IMF, as observed by comparable secretion of IL-10 and IL-1β from THP-1 cells following exposure. HC-IMF also supported significantly faster intestinal recovery following distortion, vs. LC-IMF in C.elegans. These initial observations suggest that increasing the cream content in infant milk formulation may provide added nutritional and functional benefits which are closer to that of HBM.
