Effect of miR-142-3p on Lactation in Diary Goat Mammary Epithelial Cells

To determine the regulative role of miR-142-3p in lactation of dairy goat mammary epithelia cells (DGMECs),we selected the DGMECs in lactating dairy goat for material,used liposomal transfection techniques to silence miR-142-3p expression,and used Real-time quantitative PCR,Western blotting and Assay Kits to explore the changes of lactation after miR-142-3p inhibition.The results showed that when miR-142-3p was inhibited,the cell proliferation ability of DGMECs was increased,the secretion amount of β-casein and triglyceride were up-regulated.So we concluded that miR-142-3p could influence the lactation function of DGMECs,such as cell proliferation,β-casein and triglyceride secretion,by inhibiting the function of its target genes.
