Protective Effects of Inorganic and Organic Selenium on Heat Stress in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells.

ABSTRACT: When dairy cows are exposed to high-temperature environment, their antioxidant capacity and productive performance decrease, leading to economic losses. Emerging evidence has shown that selenium (Se) can effectively alleviate heat stress in dairy cows; however, the cellular mechanism underlying this protection is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the protective effects of inorganic Se (sodium selenite, SS) and organic Se (selenite methionine, SM) in MAC-T (mammary alveolar cells-large T antigen, a bovine mammary epithelial cell (BMEC) line) cells during heat stress. MAC-T cells were treated in 4 ways unless otherwise described: (i) cells in the heat treatment (HT) group were cultured at 42.5°C for 1?h and then recovered in 37°C for another 12?h; (ii) the SM group was pretreated with organic Se for 2?h, cultured at 42.5°C for 1?h, and then recovered in 37°C for 12?h; (iii) the SS group was treated similarly to the SM group except that the cells were pretreated with inorganic Se instead of organic Se; and (iv) the control group was continuously cultured in 37°C and received no Se treatment. The results showed that heat shock at 42.5°C for 1?h triggered heat shock response, sabotaged the redox balance, and reduced cell viability in MAC-T cells; and pretreatment of cells with SM or SS effectively alleviated the negative effects of heat shock on the cells. However, the cells were much more sensitive to SS treatment but more tolerant to SM. In addition, two forms of Se appeared to affect the expression of different genes, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the SM group and thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) in the SS group in Nrf2-ARE (antioxidant response element) antioxidant pathway and inflammation response. In summary, results showed the mechanistic differences in the protective effects of organic and inorganic Se on heat stress in BMECs.

Project description:BackgroundHeat stress has a substantial negative economic impact on the dairy industry. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common internal RNA modification in eukaryotes and plays a key role in regulating heat stress response in animals. In dairy cows, however, this modification remains largely unexplored. Therefore, we examined the effects of heat stress on the m6A modification and gene expression in bovine mammary epithelial cells to elucidate the mechanism of heat stress response. In this study, Mammary alveolar cells-large T antigen (MAC-T) cells were incubated at 37 °C (non-heat stress group, NH) and 40 °C (heat stress group, H) for 2 hours, respectively. HSP70, HSF1, BAX and CASP3 were up regulated in H group compared with those in the NH group.ResultsMethylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were conducted to identify m6A peaks and to produce gene expression data of MAC-T cells in the H and NH groups. In total, we identified 17,927 m6A peaks within 9355 genes in the H group, and 18,974 peaks within 9660 genes in the NH groups using MeRIP-seq. Compared with the NH group, 3005 significantly differentially enriched m6A peaks were identified, among which 1131 were up-regulated and 1874 were down-regulated. In addition, 1502 significantly differentially expressed genes were identified using RNA-seq, among which 796 were up-regulated and 706 were down-regulated in the H group compared to the NH group. Furthermore, 199 differentially expressed and synchronously differentially methylated genes were identified by conjoint analysis of the MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data, which were subsequently divided into four groups: 47 hyper-up, 53 hyper-down, 59 hypo-up and 40 hypo-down genes. In addition, GO enrichment and KEGG analyses were used to analyzed the potential functions of the genes in each section.ConclusionThe comparisons of m6A modification patterns and conjoint analyses of m6A modification and gene expression profiles suggest that m6A modification plays a critical role in the heat stress response by regulating gene expression.
