Effects of the bovine SLICK1 mutation in PRLR on sweat gland area and FOXA1 abundance and on global gene expression


ABSTRACT: The SLICK1 mutation confers thermotolerance to cattle inheriting one or two copies of the gene. Results are unclear as to whether the mutation changes capacity of animals to undergo sweating during heat stress. Accordingly, differences in characteristics of sweat glands between slick and wildtype Holstein heifers was determined. There were no differences in the proportion of skin occupied by sweat glands but sweat glands from slick heifers had higher amounts of immunoreactive FOXA1 than wildtype heifers. FOXA1 is a transcription factor important for sweating. While results do not support the idea that the SLICK1 mutation changes the abundance of sweat glands in skin, it did affect functional properties of sweat glands, as indicated by increased abundance of immunoreactive FOXA1.
