Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate effects of supplementation of arginine (Arg) in culture medium at different levels on proliferation and κ-casein (CSN3) gene expression of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) in vitro. MECs of Chinese Holstein dairy cow were used in this in vitro study. Supplementation levels of Arg were 0.00 (0 group, control group), 69.50 (0.25 group), 139.00 (0.50 group), 278.00 (1.00 group), 556.00 (2.00 group), 1 112.00 (4.00 group) and 2 224.00 mg/L (8.00 group), respectively. The results showed as follows: proliferation of MECs was promoted by Arg, after cultured for 24 h, compared with 0 group, promotion efficiencies of groups 0.25 to 4.00 were significantly higher (P<0.05), while that of 8.00 group was not significantly changed (P>0.05); after cultured for 48 and 72 h, there were significant differences in promotion efficiency between all experimental groups and the control group (P<0.05). Expression level of CSN3 gene was increased by Arg, CSN3 gene expression level of all experimental groups was significantly higher than that of 0 group (P<0.05), and the expression level was highest when the Arg concentration was 556.00 mg/L in culture medium. In conclusion, Arg has a stimulatory effect on proliferation and CSN3 gene expression of MECs. The stimulatory effect on cell proliferation is better when Arg concentration is from 69.50 to 1 112.00 mg/L in culture medium, and the stimulatory effect on CSN3 gene expression is the best when Arg concentration is 556.00 mg/L in culture medium.
