Screening and functional investigation of miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism in dairy goat mammary gland
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Fat metabolism is a complicated process regulated by a series of factors. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of negative regulator of proteins and play crucial roles in many biological processes, including fat metabolism. Although there have been some researches indicating that miRNAs could influence the milk fat metabolism through targeting some factors, little is known about the effect of miRNAs on goat milk fat metabolism. Here we utilized an improved miRNA detection assay, S-Poly(T), to profile the expression of miRNAs in the goat mammary gland in early-lactation and dry-lactation. Overall, we found 146 miRNAs expression changed between early-lactation and dry-lactation, with 81 up-regulation and 65 down-regulation, among which the miR-27a, miR-200a and miR-200c have been reported to be involved in the milk fat metabolism process.
