Project description:In this study, two small RNA libraries were constructed using dry period and peak lactation dairy goat mammary gland tissues and sequenced by the Illumina Solexa high-throughput sequencing system. A total of 346 conserved and 95 novel miRNAs were identified in the dairy goat. The expression of miRNAs was confirmed by qRT-PCR in nine tissues and the mammary gland during development cycles. In addition, several candidate miRNAs that may be involved in mammary gland development and lactation were found by the comparison of miRNA expression profiles among different tissue and developmental stages of the mammary gland. This study provides the identification and profile of miRNAs related to the biology of the mammary gland in the dairy goat. The identification of these miRNAs could contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms of lactation physiology and the development of the mammary gland in the dairy goat.

Project description:Developmental programming is the concept that environmental factors, particularly during foetal life, can alter development, metabolism and physiology of an organism and this can have consequences later in life. There is growing interest in developmental programming in livestock species, particularly effects of maternal pregnancy nutrition, which is easy to manipulate. Recent research, using a sheep model, has shown that milk production in ewe offspring may be susceptible to maternal nutritional programming, such that over nutrition (ad libitum) of the pregnant dam, compared with maintenance nutrition, may impair their first lactation performance and result in the weaning of lighter lambs. RNA-seq was performed to identify gene expression differences as a result of maternal nutrition in ewe offspring during their first parity. Samples were collected in late pregnancy and during lactation, allowing us to examine gene expression changes during maturation of the ovine mammary gland. Three biological replicates were sequenced for each of the treatment conditions (maternal nutrition: sub-maintenance, maintenance, and ad libitum) and time points (late pregnancy and lactation). Each biological replicate consisted of RNA from multiple individuals (late pregnancy n=3, lactation n=2).

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.

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:miRNAs have been implicated in the regulation of milk protein synthesis and development of mammary gland. However, the function of miRNAs in regulating lactation is unclear. Therefore, the elucidation of miRNA expression profiles in MG provides a crucial entry into the understanding of the mechanisms of lactation initiation. Our present work is to examine miRNA expression profiles in bovine mammary gland, and to evaluate miRNAs function through the identification of differentially expressed miRNA between lactation and non-lactation mammary gland. Identification of novel miRNAs highlights the important function of low abundance and less conserved miRNAs. An interaction network of known miRNAs and their target genes around the lactation function was constructed to postulate the functional roles of miRNAs in mammary gland. This integrated analysis provides important information that will inspire further experimental investigations into the field of miRNAs and their targets during lactation.

Project description:Background: The mammary gland is a dynamic organ that undergoes important physiological changes during reproductive cycles. Until now, data regarding the characterisation of miRNA in the mammary gland have been scarce and mainly focused on their abnormal expression in breast cancer. Our goal was to characterise the microRNA (miRNA) involved in mechanisms regulating the mammary function, with particular focus on the lactation stage Methodology/principal findings: Using high-throughput sequencing technology, an exhaustive repertoire of miRNA (miRNome) expressed in mouse and bovine mammary glands during established lactation was identified, characterised and compared. Furthermore, in order to obtain more information on miRNA loading in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), the miRNome was compared with that obtained from RNA associated with the AGO2 protein (AGO2-miRNome) in mouse lactating mammary gland. This study enabled the identification of 164 and 167 miRNA in mouse and bovine, respectively. Among the 30 miRNA most highly expressed in each species, 24 were common to both species and six of them tended to be more highly expressed in lactating than in non-lactating mammary gland. The potential functional roles of these 24 miRNA were deduced using DIANA-miRPath software, based on miRNA/mRNA interactions. Moreover, seven putative novel miRNA were identified. Using DAVID analysis, it was concluded that the predicted targets of two of these putative novel miRNA are involved in mammary gland morphogenesis. Conclusion/significance: Our study provides an overview of the characteristics of lactating mouse and bovine mammary gland miRNA expression profiles. Moreover, species-conserved miRNA involved in this fundamental biological function were identified. These miRNomes will new be used as references for further studies during which the impact of animal breeding on the miRNA expression will be analysed. microRNA profiles of mammary glands from 2 FVB/N mice at lactation day-12 and mammary biopsies from 4 Holstein dairy cows at mid-lactation, generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Background: Protein phosphorylation plays an important role in lactation. Differentially modified phosphorylation sites between peak lactation (PL, 90 days postpartum) and late lactation (LL, 280 days postpartum) were investigated using an integrated approach, namely, liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and tandem mass tag (TMT) labelling, to know the molecular changes in different stages of goat mammary tissues. Results: A total of 1,938 (1,111 up-regulated, 827 down-regulated) differentially modified phosphorylation sites of 1,172 proteins were identified (P values < 0.05 and fold change of phosphorylation ratios > 1.5). In addition, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that calcium signalling pathway, oxytocin signalling pathway and MAPK signalling pathway were enriched. The results of western blot showed phosphorylation levels of ACACA, EIF4EBP1 and IRS1 increased and JUN decreased in PL compared with LL. The results were consistent with the results of phosphoproteome. Conclusions: In this study, we first differentially proteins modified phosphorylation sites between PL and LL in goat mammary tissues. On the other hand, these results analysis indicate that multiple differentially modified phosphorylation sites of FASN, ACACA, mTOR, PRKAA, IRS1, RPS6KB, EIF4EBP1, TSC2 and proteins of Calcium signalling pathway, Oxytocin signalling pathway, and MAPK signalling pathway are worthy of further exploration.
