Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine whether different amino acid (AA) patterns could affect casein synthesis in mammary epithelial cells of dairy cows. A completely random design was used. Four AA patterns were as follows: blood in low protein diet AA pattern (LPBP group), milk protein AA pattern (MP group), 80% casein+20% lactoalbumin AA pattern (CLP group) and casein AA pattern (CP group). Each group had 3 replicates, and all experiments were repeated 3 times. The mRNA expression levels of αs1-casein (CSN1S1) and κ-casein (CSN3) genes and the content of αs-casein were determined by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) method and ELISA, respectively. The results showed that different AA patterns could significantly affect the mRNA expression levels of CSN1S1 and CSN3 genes (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of CSN1S1 and CSN3 gens in MP group were significantly higher than those in LPBP group (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). Compared with the LPBP group, the mRNA expression levels of CSN1S1 and CSN3 genes in MP group were increased by 1.70-fold and 2.12-fold,respectively. The synthesis content of αs-casein in MP group was significantly higher than that in CLP and CP groups (P<0.05), and was significantly higher than that in LPBP group (P<0.01). In conclusion, different AA patterns play a very important role in milk protein synthesis in mammary epithelial cells of dairy cows, and the milk protein AA pattern may be an appropriate AA pattern.
