氨基酸对奶牛乳腺蛋白质合成调控及其分子机制的研究进展

乳蛋白中含有大量人体所需的必需氨基酸,其组成平衡、含量丰富,是一种具有极高营养价值的蛋白质,而乳中 90%以上的蛋白质是乳腺利用氨基酸从头合成的,因此氨基酸对奶牛乳蛋白合成发挥着重要的作用。此外,氨基酸不仅是合成乳蛋白不可或缺的前体物质,而且还是重要的信号调控因子,通过哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白（mTOR） 信号通路调控乳蛋白的合成。基于此,作者就影响奶牛乳腺氨基酸供应、摄取、利用的因素及氨基酸的信号传导作用的研究进展进行综述,以期为提高乳蛋白的合成提供一定的理论基础。     

Research Progress on Milk Protein Synthesis Regulated by Amino Acids in the Mammary Gland and Its Molecular Mechanism in Dairy Cows

Milk proteins have great nutritional value,rich contain and balanced profile of amino acid,which provide nearly all the essential amino acids for the human body.However more than 90% of milk proteins are synthesed by the amino acids in the mammary gland.Furthermore,the amino acid is not only funcion as the substrates of milk protein synthesis,but also as the signaling molecules to regulate milk protein sysnthesis through mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways.It is essential to further study milk protein synthesis regulated by amino acids in the mammary gland and the molecular mechanism in dairy cows.The paper reviewed the supply of amino acids,metabolism of amino acids by mammary gland,factors affecting amino acid utilization and signal pathway for amino acid regulation in milk protein synthesis.     

Characterisation of adiponectin and its receptors in the bovine mammary gland and in milk

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone, which circulates in the form of homo-multimers. The individual oligomers have a distinct profile of activity, playing crucial roles in several biological processes, including metabolism and inflammation. Adiponectin exerts many of its effects by interacting with the receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. In the present study, mRNA expression of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 was evaluated by quantitative PCR in different areas of the mammary gland in healthy lactating cows. The adiponectin isoforms in milk and blood were investigated by Western blotting and 2D-electrophoresis, and the presence of adiponectin protein was determined by immunohistochemistry.Low level expression of adiponectin mRNA was found in all areas of bovine mammary gland tissues examined. AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNAs were also detected in mammary tissues and their expression was particularly prominent in the parenchyma and cistern. Western blotting revealed a heterogeneous electrophoretic pattern, indicating that different adiponectin isoforms exist in milk, compared with blood. In particular, milk shows a low molecular weight isoform of adiponectin, corresponding to the globular domain. Adiponectin in milk is characterised by a more complex 2D electrophoretic pattern, compared with blood, as illustrated by the presence of proteins of different molecular weights and isoelectric points. Adiponectin protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in epithelial cells lining the secretory alveoli, in secretum within the alveolar lumen and in small peripheral nerves. The study findings support a role for adiponectin in regulating metabolism and immunity of the bovine mammary gland and potentially the calf intestine, following ingestion of milk.     

乳腺对氨基酸的摄取及其调控机制研究进展

乳蛋白是乳中重要的营养成分之一,超过90%的乳蛋白是乳腺利用从血液中摄取的氨基酸从头合成,因此在保证氨基酸充足供给的前提下,乳腺对氨基酸摄取率的高低是影响乳蛋白产量的关键因素。血液中的氨基酸不能自由扩散进出乳腺,需要由乳腺上皮细胞膜上特异的氨基酸转运载体(AAT)协助完成。而乳腺AAT活性受到营养物质和激素水平的调节,当乳腺感知到营养物质和激素水平变化的信号,能够通过激活或抑制以哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白复合物1(mTORC1)和一般性调控阻遏蛋白激酶2(GCN2)为核心的2条信号通路的活性,进而影响AAT活性,调节乳腺对氨基酸的摄取。本文主要从乳腺AAT的分类和功能、影响乳腺摄取氨基酸的主要因素以及调控乳腺氨基酸摄取的信号通路机制3个方面作一综述,旨在从氨基酸摄取的角度为提高乳蛋白的合成提供参考。     

葡萄糖代谢与利用对奶牛生产的影响

葡萄糖是脑细胞等中枢神经系统和胚胎的主要供能物质,也是泌乳奶牛合成乳糖的前体物质,并且与乳脂、乳蛋白合成密切相关,对泌乳奶牛具有重要的营养生理功能。为了提高奶牛泌乳性能以及生理健康,有必要深入研究奶牛葡萄糖的营养与生理功能。本文从葡萄糖的生成、乳腺中葡萄糖代谢与调节、葡萄糖代谢对奶牛生产影响等几个方面对泌乳奶牛葡萄糖的代谢与利用进行综述,为进一步揭示奶牛葡萄糖的代谢机制、提高奶牛对葡萄糖利用、促进奶牛生产提供参考依据。     

Effect of feed restriction on dairy cow milk production: a review

In the dairy cow, negative energy balance affects milk yield and composition as well as animal health. Studying the effects of negative energy balance on dairy cow milk production is thus essential. Feed restriction (FR) experiments attempting to reproduce negative energy balance by reducing the quantity or quality of the diet were conducted in order to better describe the animal physiology changes. The study of FR is also of interest since with climate change issues, cows may be increasingly faced with periods of drought leading to a shortage of forages. The aim of this article is to review the effects of FR during lactation in dairy cows to obtain a better understanding of metabolism changes and how it affects mammary gland activity and milk production and composition. A total of 41 papers studying FR in lactating cows were used to investigate physiological changes induced by these protocols. FR protocols affect the entire animal metabolism as indicated by changes in blood metabolites such as a decrease in glucose concentration and an increase in non-esterified fatty acid or β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations; hormonal regulations such as a decrease in insulin and insulin-like growth factor I or an increase in growth hormone concentrations. These variations indicated a mobilization of body reserve in most studies. FR also affects mammary gland activity through changes in gene expression and could affect mammary cell turnover through cell apoptosis, cell proliferation, and exfoliation of mammary epithelial cells into milk. Because of modifications of the mammary gland and general metabolism, FR decreases milk production and can affect milk composition with decreased lactose and protein concentrations and increased fat concentration. These effects, however, can vary widely depending on the type of restriction, its duration and intensity, or the stage of lactation in which it takes place. Finally, to avoid yield loss and metabolic disorders, it is important to identify reliable biomarkers to monitor energy balance.     

乳腺内氨基酸调控乳蛋白合成的分子作用机制

作为维持哺乳动物生命活动重要的"生物工厂",乳腺利用从流经血液中摄取的氨基酸等营养物质为底物合成乳蛋白。研究证实,氨基酸还可作为一种信号因子,通过乳腺内多种信号级联传导通路,调控乳蛋白基因的转录及翻译过程,从而影响乳腺中乳蛋白的合成。酪氨酸蛋白激酶-信号转导子和转录激活子(JAK-STAT)信号通路和哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(m TOR)信号通路是乳蛋白基因转录和翻译过程中的主要调控路径。本文综述了乳腺JAKSTAT和m TOR信号通路的分子机制及氨基酸通过这些通路调控乳蛋白合成的研究进展,旨在进一步阐明氨基酸调控乳蛋白合成的作用机理。     

Effect of Intramammary Infusion of Tumour Necrosis Factor‐α on Milk Protein Composition and Induction of Acute‐Phase Protein in the Lactating Cow

The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) on lactating bovine mammary functions such as milk protein secretion and the integrity of the milk‐blood barrier. The effect on the induction of the systemic inflammatory response was also examined using concentrations of serum haptoglobin (Hp), a major inflammatory acute‐phase protein, as an index. One hundred micrograms per mammary gland of recombinant bovine (rBo) TNF‐α or placebo saline was individually infused into a rear mammary gland of each of four lactating cows, and milk and blood samples were collected before and 4, 8, 24, 32, 48, 96 and 168 h after infusion. In the rBoTNF‐α‐infused gland, increases of somatic cell counts were observed at 4–48 h. Although concentrations of total milk protein were not changed, compositions of milk proteins varied following rBoTNF‐α infusion. Concentrations of caseins, α‐lactalbumin and β‐lactoglobulin were significantly decreased at 4 and 8 h. Lactoferrin concentrations were significantly increased at 4 h. Significant infiltrations of serum albumin, immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and IgG2 were observed at 4 and 8 h. Elevations of the serum concentration of Hp were detected at 8‐32 h, but were very small in comparison with those reported in inflammatory diseases. Changes in rectal temperature and white blood cell counts were not significant. These results show that single rBoTNF‐α infusion into the lactating mammary gland suppresses the lactogenic function of the gland and influences the function of the milk‐blood barrier, with little effect on the generalized inflammatory response.

Endocrinology of milk production

The physiology of lactation includes development of the mammary gland from the foetal to the adult stage, further development during pregnancy and onset of lactation, with the accompanying metabolic and behavioural adaptation. At the onset of pregnancy the endocrine system undergoes dramatic changes. The growth of the mammary gland is stimulated by growth hormone and prolactin, adrenocortical steroids, oestrogens and progesterone, and that of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by gastrin, CCK and secretin. The onset of lactation is accompanied by increases in the blood volume, cardiac output, mammary blood flow and blood flow through the GI-tract and liver, aiming to provide the udder with nutrients and hormones for regulation of milk synthesis. Food intake and distribution of nutrients to the mammary gland are partially regulated by hormones as well as the repartitioning of nutrients away from body stores towards the udder. To improve milk production, administration of growth hormone has been practised, but also much discussed. Besides central mechanisms, local mechanisms within the mammary gland regulate initiation of lactation, maintenance, regulation of blood flow and mammary gland cell apoptosis. Most of the milk in a filled dairy cow udder is stored in the alveolar compartments. The milk ejection reflex must be activated to gain access to the udder milk, i.e. oxytocin contracts the myoepithelial cells. Recent studies show that vasopressin may also elicit milk ejection. More efficient oxytocin release is achieved if the cows are fed during milking. Beyond milk let down, oxytocin influences maternal behaviour and metabolism. Furthermore, it has been indicated that suckling or milking activates a vagal reflex, which may link the milk production to the endocrine system of the GI-tract. The question has been raised whether the mammary gland is a supporting or consuming organ.

Effect of intramammary infusion of tumour necrosis factor-alpha on milk protein composition and induction of acute-phase protein in the lactating cow

The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on lactating bovine mammary functions such as milk protein secretion and the integrity of the milk-blood barrier. The effect on the induction of the systemic inflammatory response was also examined using concentrations of serum haptoglobin (Hp), a major inflammatory acute-phase protein, as an index.

Concentrations of caseins, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin were significantly decreased at 4 and 8 h. Lactoferrin concentrations were significantly increased at 4 h. Significant infiltrations of serum albumin, immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and IgG2 were observed at 4 and 8 h. Elevations of the serum concentration of Hp were detected at 8-32 h, but were very small in comparison with those reported in inflammatory diseases. Changes in rectal temperature and white blood cell counts were not significant. These results show that single rBoTNF-alpha infusion into the lactating mammary gland suppresses the lactogenic function of the gland and influences the function of the milk-blood barrier, with little effect on the generalized inflammatory response.     

An overview of aflatoxin B1 biotransformation and aflatoxin M1 secretion in lactating dairy cows

Milk is considered a perfect natural food for humans and animals. However, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contaminating the feeds fed to lactating dairy cows can introduce aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), the main toxic metabolite of aflatoxins into the milk, consequently posing a risk to human health. As a result of AFM1 monitoring in raw milk worldwide, it is evident that high AFM1 concentrations exist in raw milk in many countries. Thus, the incidence of AFM1 in milk from dairy cows should not be underestimated. To further optimize the intervention strategies, it is necessary to better understand the metabolism of AFB1 and its biotransformation into AFM1 and the specific secretion pathways in lactating dairy cows. The metabolism of AFB1 and its biotransformation into AFM1 in lactating dairy cows are drawn in this review. Furthermore, recent data provide evidence that in the mammary tissue of lactating dairy cows, aflatoxins significantly increase the activity of a protein, ATP-binding cassette super-family G member 2 (ABCG2), an efflux transporter known to facilitate the excretion of various xenobiotics and veterinary drugs into milk. Further research should focus on identifying and understanding the factors that affect the expression of ABCG2 in the mammary gland of cows.     

Measurement of Carbonic Anhydrase Isozyme VI (CA-VI) in Bovine Sera,Saliva, Milk and Tissues

Concentrations of bovine carbonic anhydrase isozyme VI (CA-IV) in bovine serum, saliva, normal milk, colostrum, submandibular gland, liver, and mammary gland were determined. CA-VI was purified from bovine saliva and an antibody to CA-VI was generated. The concentrations of CA-VI in the saliva (7.8 ± 7.9 μg/ml), serum (2.1± 5.7 ng/ml), milk (7.9 ± 12.1 ng/ml), submandibular gland (284.7 μg/g protein), liver (921.0 ± 180.7 ng/g protein) and mammary gland (399.6 ± 191.2 ng/g protein) were determined by ELISA. No seasonal change in CA-VI levels was observed in normal milk. The concentration of CA-VI in colostrum (day 1 post partum) was 119 ng/ml and decreased rapidly by 1 month following birth. Mammary gland contained much smaller amounts than the submandibular gland. CA-VI mRNA was detected in the liver and mammary gland of cow by RT-PCR. The ELISA used in this study proved to be a precise and sensitive method for determining CA-VI concentrations in saliva, serum, milk and tissue specimens from cows. The ELISA may enable the study of changes in CA-VI associated with hereditary or metabolic disorders of the salivary gland, mammary gland and liver using small samples of saliva, serum or milk.
