Title: | Feeding level regulates the expression of some genes involved with programed cell death and remodeling in goat and sheep mammary tissue | Authors: | Tsiplakou, Eleni Mitsiopoulou, Christina Skliros, Dimitrios Mavrommatis, Alexandros Flemetakis, Emmanouil |
Major Field of Science: | Agricultural Sciences | Field Category: | Animal and Dairy Science | Keywords: | Apoptosis;Autophagy;Feeding level;Genes | Issue Date: | Nov-2020 | Source: | Journal of Dairy Research, 2020, vol. 87, no. 4, pp. 448–455 | Volume: | 87 | Issue: | 4 | Start page: | 448 | End page: | 455 | Journal: | Journal of Dairy Research | Abstract: | Mammary tissue (MT) turnover is characterized by programed cell death and remodeling which might be affected by both feeding level and animal species. Thus, twenty-four dairy goats and the same number of sheep were assigned to three homogenous sub-groups per animal species and fed the same diet in quantities which met 70% (FL70), 100% (FL100) and 130% (FL130) of their daily energy and crude protein requirements. Individual MT samples were taken by biopsy from the animals on the 30th and 60th experimental day. The results showed, in the first sampling time, a significant reduction in the mRNA abundance for selected genes involved in programed cell death in both FL 70 fed goats (STAT3 and BECN1) and sheep (CASPASE8 and BECN1) compared with the respective FL100 groups. The FL130, in comparison with the FL100, caused a significant increase in transcripts accumulation of STAT3 gene in both sampling times and CASPASE8 gene in the second sampling time in goat MT, while the opposite happened for the mRNA expression of CASPASE8 and BECN1 genes in sheep MT, but only in the first sampling time. Moreover, a significant up regulation in the mRNA levels of MMP2 gene in MT of FL130 fed sheep was observed. The FL130, in comparison with the FL70, caused an enhancement in the mRNA expression levels of BECN1, CASPASE8, BAX and STAT3 genes in goat MT only. It was also shown that apoptosis and autophagy can be affected simultaneously by the feeding level. Overfeeding affects MT programed cell death and remodeling by a completely different way in goats than sheep. In conclusion, feeding level and animal species have strong effects on both MT programed cell death (apoptosis and autophagy) and remodeling but the molecular mechanisms need further investigation. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/28984 | ISSN: | 14697629 | DOI: | 10.1017/S002202992000103X | Rights: | © The Author(s).
