Isolation and Identification of Mammary Epithelial Cells from Goat Milk
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 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.
