MiR-24-3p regulates cell proliferation and milk protein synthesis of mammary epithelial cells through menin in dairy cows.


ABSTRACT: MiR-24-3p, a broadly conserved, small, noncoding RNA, is abundantly expressed in mammary tissue. However, its regulatory role in this tissue remains poorly understood. It was predicted that miR-24-3p targets the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), an important regulatory factor in mammary tissue. The objective of this study was to investigate the function of miR-24-3p in mammary cells. Using a luciferase assay in mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T), miR-24-3p was confirmed to target the 3'-UTR of MEN1. Furthermore, miR-24-3p negatively regulated the expression of the MEN1 gene and its encoded protein, menin. miR-24-3p enhanced proliferation of MAC-T by promoting G1/S phase progression. MiR-24-3p also regulated the expression of key factors involved in phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activators of transcription signaling pathways, therefore controlling milk protein synthesis in epithelial cells. Thus, miR-24-3p appears to act on MAC-T by targeting MEN1. The expression of miR-24-3p was controlled by MEN1/menin, indicating a negative feedback loop between miR-24-3p and MEN1/menin. The negatively inhibited expression pattern of miR-24-3p and MEN1 was active in mammary tissues at different lactation stages. The feedback mechanism is a new concept to further understand the lactation cycle of mammary glands and can possibly to be manipulated to improve milk yield and quality.
