Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) on expressions of genes involved in milk protein synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). The 3rd passage BMECs with proper densities were cultured for 48 h, then were divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 1 culture pore per replicate. Culture mediums containing different concentrations of BHBA [0 (control group), 0.58, 1.16, 2.32, 4.64 and 9.28 mmol/L, respectively] were used in each group. Cells were continuous incubated in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 ℃ for 48 h, then were collected for the analysis of expressions of milk protein and the expression of related genes in real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR with SYBR Green. The results showed as follows: with the increasing of BHBA concentration, the expression of CSN1S1 gene was significantly increased quadratically (R2=0.931 6, P=0.018), 2.32 to 9.28 mmol/L had better effect, and 4.64 mmol/L was optimal concentration. With the increasing of BHBA concentration, leptin gene expression was linearly down-regulated at a certain extent (R2=0.482 5, P=0.126), and 0.58 mmol/L was optimal concentration in value. With the increasing of BHBA concentration, signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) gene expression were not significantly changed (P=0.459, P=0.398). Taken together, the expression of CSN1S1 gene is up-regulated when cells areincubated with BHBA at 2.32 to 9.28 mmol/L, and the synthesis of milk proteins in BMECs has better effect when the concentration of BHBA is 4.64 mmol/L.
