Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of incubation time on casein gene expressions in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) in three-dimensional culture. Mammary parenchymal tissue was obtained from three healthy Holstein dairy cows aged from 3 to 5 years. The first generation of BMECs was purified and cultured in three-dimensional culture for 3, 5, 7 and 9 days, respectively. The expression levels of αs1-casein, β-casein and κ-casein genes in BMECs in three-dimensional culture were detected. The results showed that the expression levels of αs1-casein and κ-casein genes in BMECs in three-dimensional culture for 5 days were significantly higher than those for 3, 7 and 9 days (P<0.01). The expression level of β-casein gene in BMECs in three-dimensional culture for 5 days was higher than that for 3 (P<0.01), 7 (P<0.01) and 9 days (P>0.05).The results indicate that the expression levels of αs1-casein, β-casein and κ-casein genes in BMECs are affected by incubation time in three-dimensional culture, and the optimal culture time is 5 days.
