Abstract

Mammary gland involution is one of the most important stages of the dry period. In the process of mammary gland involution, the number of vesicles and lipid droplets in mammary epithelial cells gradually increased, organelle atrophied, cell tight junction permeability increased, milk composition synthesis decreased, cell apoptosis increased. In recent years, more and more studies have paid attention to the mechanism and control measures of mammary gland involution in dry cows. The main reason is that accelerating the early stage of dry period may reduce the risk of intramammary infections in the dry period, and may increase the milk production of short dry dairy cows in the subsequent lactation. Recent studies demonstrated that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad and Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signal pathways play important role in the mammary gland involution, and several nutritional strategies could regulate this process. In this review, the latest research progress of related mechanisms and nutritional regulation of dairy cow mammary gland involution were summarized, which could provide new insights for healthy dairy cow production and for the further mammary gland involution research.
