Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of prolactin (PRL) on the synthesis and secretion of lactoferrin (LF) mediated by the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5(JAK2/STAT5) signaling pathway in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). BMECs were treated with different concentrations of PRL [0(control), 10, 100, 1 000 ng/mL] for 24 h. The effects of PRL on LF content and the expression of LF, prolactin receptor (PRLR) and JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway genes and related proteins were analyzed to verify the key role of STAT5 in prolactin-induced LF synthesis and secretion in BMECs. BMECs were treated with STAT5 inhibitor Pimozide [no Pimozide(control), 10 μmol/L Pimozide, 100 ng/mL PRL, and 10 μmol/L Pimozide+100 ng/mL PRL] 24 h, effects of PRL and Pimozide on LF content and gene and related protein expression and relative fluorescence intensity of LF and JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway were determined. The results showed as follows:1)compared with the control group, 10, 100, 1 000 ng/mL PRL could significantly or very significantly increase the LF content in the cell supernatant of BMECs (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the Pimozide was able to significantly reduce the LF content in the cell supernatant of BMECs (P<0.01);the PRL was able to significantly increase the LF content in the supernatant of BMECs cells (P<0.01). 2) The relative expression levels of LF, PRLR, JAK2 and STAT5 genes in the 10 ng/mL PRL group were significantly increased (P<0.05);the relative expression levels of LF, PRLR, JAK2 and STAT5 gene were very significantly higher in the 100 ng/mL PRL group (P<0.01); the relative expression levels of PRLR and STAT5 genes in the 1 000 ng/mL PRL group were significantly or extremely significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the relative expression level of LF gene in the Pimozide group decreased significantly (P<0.05); the relative expression level of LF gene in BMECs in the PRL group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) The expression of LF protein in BMECs in the 100 and 1 000 ng/mL PRL groups gradually increased (P<0.01); 10, 100, 1 000 ng/mL PRL significantly or very significantly increased the expression of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT5/STAT5 in BMECs (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the Pimozide and the Pimozide+PRL significantly reduced the expression of LF protein in BMECs (P<0.01). LF protein expression was significantly increased in BMEC of PRL group (P<0.01). 4) The Pimozide and Pimozide+PRL significantly or very significantly reduced the relative fluorescence intensity of LF or p-STAT5 in BMECs (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the relative fluorescence intensity of LF and p-STAT5 in BMECs was very significantly increased in the PRL group (P<0.01). In summary, PRL promotes PRL synthesis and secretion in BMECs cells of dairy cows through the JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway.

乳铁蛋白(LF)是一种天然的属于转铁蛋白家族的阳离子糖基化球状蛋白,存在于各种哺乳动物分泌物中,包括初乳、牛奶、唾液、眼泪和黏液,在先天免疫防御系统中起着至关重要的作用[1]。近年来,LF因在治疗病理方面和调节生理方面的潜在应用而受到诸多学者的关注。除了螯合游离的二价铁离子(Fe2+)和三价铁离子(Fe3+),LF的生物学功能也涉及抗菌、抗炎、抗病毒、参与铁代谢、抗氧化、抗肿瘤和提高自身抗体等多领域[2]。我国乳制品工业所需LF原料98%依靠进口,如何提高牛乳中LF的含量也是目前的难题,能否保障LF的自主可控供应直接决定了我国乳品产业的安全水平和核心竞争力[3]
目前为止,LF的基因表达和合成分泌受到多维性和整体性的不同影响。根据体内和体外研究,LF的表达和分泌受核受体、转录因子、生长因子、刺激和炎症的调控[2]。已有研究表明,频繁刺激乳头挤奶可显著降低牛奶中LF的含量,延长挤奶间隔可增加LF的产量[4-5]。另外,4 mmol/L缬氨酸处理山羊乳腺上皮细胞增加了细胞内LF的分泌[6]。在试验中给小鼠喂食铁(120 mg/kg),结果表明铁显著增加哺乳期第1天和第25天乳腺组织LF mRNA的表达[7]。报道显示,视黄醇和雌激素呈时间和剂量依赖性诱导小鼠胚胎干细胞中LF的表达[8]。与此同时,在人类和小鼠LF启动子上发现的雌激素受体结合元件以受体和激素依赖的方式上调乳腺上皮细胞LF mRNA的表达水平,同时甲氧氯通过GC-Ⅱ序列刺激雌激素受体无效小鼠子宫中LF基因的表达[9-10]。因此,明确LF基因表达调控规律对通过体外生物技术合成LF具有重要意义。
LF启动子区域存在多个转录结合位点,特异性蛋白-1(SP-1)和雌激素受体结合在鼠LF启动子上,电泳迁移率转移试验中证明激活蛋白-2(AP-2)和SP-1在调控猪LF的转录中发挥重要作用[11-12]。同时,牛LF具有信号传导及转录激活蛋白5(STAT5)的转录结合位点,而催乳素(PRL)调控STAT5在奶牛乳腺上皮细胞(BMECs)产奶过程中起到核心作用[13-14]。此外,PRL通过酪氨酸激酶2/STAT5(JAK2/STAT5)信号通路的活化,可以促进哺乳期乳腺中乳脂、乳糖和乳蛋白的合成与分泌[15-16]。不同浓度的PRL和赖氨酸组合升高体外BMECs中LF的基因表达[17]。因此,本试验检测了PRL对BMECs中LF合成和分泌的影响,分析了PRL调控LF合成的作用机制,旨在为提升牛奶中功能性蛋白含量提供理论依据。

3 讨论

BMECs合成和分泌乳蛋白是复杂的过程,受到多种因素的影响。早期通过隔绝细胞与基质的接触途径的方式,通过引起细胞形态变化而直接影响着细胞的生长和分化,这种调节细胞形状的方式也被证明可以调节其细胞功能[25-26]。乳腺上皮细胞的形态具有其他贴壁细胞类型相似的特性,都是极其容易受到周围细胞密度和细胞外基质变化的影响。与牛奶中的β-酪蛋白和乳清蛋白不同,LF在乳房发育过程中由乳腺上皮细胞大量合成和分泌,乳腺上皮细胞形状的改变与LF的表达息息相关[27]。此外,乳腺上皮细胞中的细胞形状和肌动蛋白细胞骨架的改变可以介导LF的表达[28]。本试验通过组织块贴壁法提取原代BMECs,经过纯化培养后进行LF的检测。通过与前人ELISA检测BMECs中LF分泌量相比,本试验纯化的细胞分泌LF的能力与其他人差异不大[29]。因此,本试验获得纯化细胞形态良好的BMECs用于后续检测调控LF合成和分泌的机制研究。
乳腺上皮细胞的生长分化和蛋白质的合成分泌受到细胞基质、细胞形态、多肽类和类固醇类激素等多种因素的调控[30]。JAK2/STAT5信号通路参与乳腺上皮细胞的增殖、分化和乳蛋白的合成分泌。有研究报道,STAT5促进乳腺上皮细胞的增殖,JAK2/STAT5途径的抑制会破坏乳腺形态发生和分化,抑制STAT5活化会减弱小鼠乳腺上皮细胞的增殖[31-32]。同时,STAT5除了对乳腺发育很重要,也被认为是参与调节和控制哺乳动物乳蛋白合成的主要因子[33]。前人的结果表明,炎症反应、细胞因子、氨基酸和激素等都可以通过STAT5的活化调控牛奶蛋白的合成和分泌[34-36]。PRL是一种由垂体、乳腺、肝脏和性腺等组织分泌的多肽类激素,参与多种生理功能,包括葡萄糖和脂质代谢作用、泌乳和性腺功能以及免疫调节作用等[37-38]。Lollivier等[39]试验结果显示,喹那啉内酯可以减少奶牛的产奶量并抑制奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中α-乳清蛋白和κ-酪蛋白的基因表达。不同浓度的PRL和赖氨酸组合升高体外BMECs中LF、β-酪蛋白和α-乳白蛋白的基因表达[17]。目前已知PRL、STAT5和乳蛋白之间存在交互网络,因此我们研究了PRL调控LF合成和分泌的机制,探究JAK2/STAT5信号通路与LF之间的作用关系。本试验结果表明,不同浓度的PRL处理BMECs后可以提高LF的含量,且10、100、1 000 ng/mL PRL可以促进LFPRLRJAK2和STAT5的基因表达,p-JAK2、p-STAT5和LF的蛋白表达呈现上升趋势。
同时,LF基因表达调控位点除了STAT5,还具有类固醇激素、感染应答转录因子和细胞分化转录因子等多个重复元件和结合位点[40]。其中牛LF基因启动子区域的类固醇激素结合位点包括雌激素受体结合位点和糖皮质激素受体结合位点。在鼠LF的启动子上发现的雌激素受体结合元件能够以受体和激素依赖的方式上调鼠乳铁蛋白的启动子转录过程[41]。此外,乳腺上皮细胞中LF的表达和产生受到LPS的刺激,牛乳铁蛋白的转录活性可被LPS通过牛乳铁蛋白启动子区域上的核因子-κB(NF-κB)结合位点诱导,且具有剂量依赖性[42]。因此,为了进一步对LF基因表达调控位点进行分析。本试验添加了Pimozide处理BMECs。通过ELISA、qRT-PCR、免疫荧光技术和Western blot检测结果显示,添加Pimozide抑制了LF的合成和分泌。
综上所述,PRL对于LF的转录和分泌过程发挥了重要的调节作用。结果表明,PRL通过JAK2/STAT5途径,促进LF的合成和分泌,从而导致奶牛产奶量的升高。通过对PRL调控LF机制的深入研究,有助于激素与LF之间调控网络的构建,为调控牛奶中LF的含量提供理论依据,丰富了体外调节LF基因表达和分泌的理论知识。通过明确了PRL促进LF合成和分泌的机制,在生产实践中可以使用多巴胺受体抑制剂提高奶牛PRL分泌量进而提高奶产量和LF产量,也可以使用合成生物技术在构建的基盘细胞或元件中过表达STAT5结合位点序列,在PRL环境下大量分泌LF。因此,通过调节体内激素水平或体外构建过表达STAT5的方式,发挥激素调控LF合成和分泌的作用,将对我国牛奶功能性蛋白含量的提高和我国奶业持续健康的发展具有深远意义。

4 结论

添加10、100、1 000 ng/mL PRL处理BMECs可以促进LF的合成和分泌,其中100 ng/mL PRL处理结果最佳,并且STAT5抑制后,试验结果表明细胞中LF的表达下降。因此,PRL通过JAK2/STAT5信号通路促进BMECs中LF合成和分泌。
