Project description:Breastfeeding is vital for reducing morbidity and mortality, yet exclusive breastfeeding rates are low, with insufficient milk supply being a major weaning factor whose molecular causes remain largely unknown. In this study, we collected fresh milk samples from 30 lactating individuals, classified as low, normal, or high milk producers at multiple postpartum stages, and conducted extensive genomic and microbiome analysis. Using bulk RNA sequencing on human milk fat globules (MFG), milk cells, and breast tissue, we found that MFG-derived RNA closely resembles RNA from milk luminal cells. Furthermore, bulk and single-cell RNA-seq revealed changes in the transcriptome and cellular content linked to milk production. We identified specific genes and cell-type proportions differing in low and high milk production. Infant microbiome diversity was affected by feeding type, but not by maternal milk supply. This study provides a comprehensive human milk transcriptomic catalog, identifies genes associated with milk production, and highlights MFG as a useful biomarker for milk transcriptome analysis.

Project description:The concept of milk as a healthy food has opened the way for studies on milk components, from nutrients to microRNAs, molecules with broad regulatory properties present in large quantities in milk. Characterization of these components has been performed in several species, such as humans and bovine, depending on the stages of lactation. Here, we have studied the variation in milk microRNA composition according to genetic background. Using high throughput sequencing, we have characterized and compared the milk miRNomes of Holstein and Normande cattle, dairy breeds with distinct milk production features, in order to highlight microRNAs that are essential for regulation of the lactation process. In Holstein and Normande milk, 2,038 and 2,030 microRNAs were identified, respectively, with 1,771 common microRNAs, of which 1,049 were annotated and 722 were predicted. The comparison of the milk miRNomes of two breeds allowed to highlight 182 microRNAs displaying significant differences in the abundance. They are involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and mammary morphogenesis and development, which affects lactation. Our results provide new insights into the regulation of molecular mechanisms involved in milk production.

Project description:Milk can mediate maternal-neonatal signal transmission by the bioactive component-extracellular vesicles (EVs), which select specific types of miRNA to encapsulate. The miRNA profiling of sheep milk EVs was characterized by sequencing and compared with that of cow milk. Sheep milk EVs contained various small RNAs, including tRNA, Cis-regulatory element, rRNA, snRNA, other Rfam RNA, and miRNA, which held about 36% of all the small RNAs. Totally 84 types of miRNAs were annotated with Ovis aries by miRBase (version 22.0) in sheep milk EVs, with 75 shared types of miRNAs in all samples. Fourteen sheep milk EV-miRNAs in the top 20, occupying 98% of the total expression, were immune-related.

Project description:In dairy cows, milk production and composition are affected by numerous factors, including diet. Milk is the body fluid with the highest RNA concentration, including numerous microRNA. These microRNA presence in the different milk compartments is still poorly documented and the effect of feed restriction on milk miRNome has not been described yet. The aim of this study was to describe the effects of feed restrictions of different intensitizes on milk compartment miRNome composition. Two feed restriction trials were performed on lactating dairy cows, one of high intensity and one of moderate intensity. 2 896 mature microRNA were identified in milk, including 1 493 that were already known in bovine specie. Among the 1 095 miRNA that were abundant enough to be informative, 10% were exclusive to one milk compartment and the abundance of 155 varied between compartments, revealing a specific miRNome for each milk fraction. Feed restriction affected differently these miRNome, with microRNA in whole milk and milk extracellular vesicles being the most affected and microRNA in fat globules and exfoliated mammary epithelial cells being relatively or completely unaffected. Target prediction of known microRNA that varied under feed restriction reflected modification of some key pathways for lactation related to milk fat and protein metabolisms, cell cycle and stress responses. These findings open up opportunities for future research on the use of milk miRNA as biomarkers of energy status in dairy cows.

Project description:This study presents a dynamic characterization of the sheep milk transcriptome aiming at achieving a better understanding of the sheep lactating mammary gland. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on total RNA extracted from milk somatic cells from ewes on days 10, 50, 120 and 150 after lambing. The experiment was performed in Spanish Churra and Assaf breeds, which differ in their milk production traits. Nearly 67% of the annotated genes in the reference genome (Oar_v3.1) were expressed in ovine milk somatic cells. For the two breeds and across the four lactation stages studied, the most highly expressed genes encoded caseins and whey proteins. We detected differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across lactation points, with the largest differences being found, between day 10 and day 150. Upregulated GO terms at late lactation stages were linked mainly to developmental processes linked to extracellular matrix remodeling. A total of 256 annotated DEGs were detected in the Assaf and Churra comparison. Some genes selectively upregulated in the Churra breed grouped under the endopeptidase and channel activity GO terms. These genes could be related to the higher cheese yield of this breed. Overall, this study provides the first integrated overview on sheep milk gene expression.

Project description:Feed restriction during the early life of ewe lambs (F0) triggers the transfer of epigenetic marks to the next generation, thus impairing the reproductive performance of F1. However, the effects of this factor on milk production and composition, including its abundance in regulatory miRNA (many of which are contained in exosomes, small vesicles of endocytic origin that play a role in the modulation of immune response of the offspring), has not been tested so far. Therefore, in this study, the replacement ewe lambs (F0) obtained in a previous project (a group of ewes fed milk replacer ad libitum –ADL– vs. a group of ewes restricted –RES– to 62.5% the intake level of milk replacer during the suckling period) were raised under similar post-weaning conditions and mated to obtain the progeny (F1). The F1 dairy ewes were also mated, and six of these F1 dairy ewes were selected and divided into two groups: the F1-ADL group (n=3) born from F0-ADL and the F1-RES group (n=3), born from F0-RES animals. Milk production was controlled during the peak lactation period, and milk samples were obtained for each gland separately to measure chemical composition, somatic cell counts, and bacteriology. Exosomes were also isolated for each gland separately to define the miRNA content. The miRNAome was determined following a Next Generation Sequencing approach. The first preliminary results indicate significant differences in the abundance of five miRNAs in the milk obtained during the peak of lactation. Thus, oar-miR-150, oar-miR-221, oar-miR-23a, oar-miR-27a, oar-miR-376c were all down modulated in F1-RES when compared to F0-ADL. Most of these miRNAs have been found to play a role in biological functions such as development, apoptosis, muscle differentiation, reproduction, or milk production. Moreover, somatic cell count (SCC) was reduced significantly in milk samples during the peak of lactation of F1-RES dairy sheep. No significant differences were found in milk production, the chemical composition of milk (fat, protein, lactase), or bacteriology (colony forming units, CFU). This study's results provide some evidence of the effects of nutritional programming events on the milk's bioactive components.

Project description:Milk microRNAs (miRNAs) encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a novel class of bioactive food compounds. Milk produced by cows with subclinical mastitis threatens animals healthy and milk safety. However, little is known about the differentially expressed miRNA in milk-derived EVs related to subclinical mastitis. This study profiled miRNAs in milk-derived EVs from healthy cows and cows with subclinical mastitis. The potential targets for differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were predicted. Milk-derived EVs were isolated from healthy cows (n = 7, the control group) and cows with subclinical (n = 7, the SM group). Two hundred ninety miRNAs (221 known and 69 novel ones) were identified. The top 20 miRNAs were commonly abundant (> 0.1% of the total read counts) in Healthy and SM groups, were regarded as abundant bovine milk-derived EVs miRNAs. MiR-21-5p was the most highly expressed known miRNA. Target genes of the top 20 abundant miRNAs were significantly enriched in Ras signaling pathway. The bta-miR-21-5p, bta-miR-30a-5p and miR-6-1096 were differentially expressed. For DE miRNAs, there was no significantly enriched pathways were found in the KEGG enrichment analysis. The linkage between the validated target genes and diseases suggested that we pay particular attention to exosome miRNAs from mastitic milk in milk safety.
