Owing to its inherent antimicrobial effect and positive charge, the expression of human lysozyme in bovine milk could be beneficial by altering the overal microbial level and the functional and physical properties of the milk. We have used transgenic mice as model systems to evaluate the expression of human lysozyme containing fusion gene constructs in the mammary gland. Expression of human lysozyme was targeted to the mammary gland by using the 5 promoter elements of either the bovine (line B mice) or s1 (line H mice) casein genes coupled to the cDNA for human lysozyme. Expression of human lysozyme mRNA was not found in mammary tissue from any of line B mice. Tissues were analysed from six lines of H mice and two, H6 and H5, were found to express human lysozyme mRNA in the mammary gland at 42% and 116%, respectively, of the levels of the endogenous mouse whey acidic protein gene. At peak lactation, female mice homozygous for the H5 and H6 transgene have approximately twice the amount of mRNA encoding human lysozyme as hemizygous animals. Expression levels of human lysozyme mRNA in the mammary gland at time points representing late pregnancy, early, peak and late lactation corresponded to the profile of casein gene expression. Human lysozyme mRNA expression was not observed in transgenic males, virgin females or in the kidney, liver, spleen or brain of lactating females. A very low level of expression of human lysozyme mRNA was observed in the salivary gland of line H5. 相似文献

Establishment and characterization of a lactating dairy goat mammary gland epithelial cell line 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To study milk synthesis in dairy goat mammary gland, we had established an in vitro lactating dairy goat mammary epithelial
cell (DGMEC) line. Mammary tissues of Guan Zhong dairy goats at 35 d of lactation were dispersed and cultured in a medium
containing epithelial growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-1, insulin transferrin serum, and fetal bovine serum. Epithelial
cells were enriched by digesting with 0.25% trypsin repeatedly to remove fibroblast cells and were identified as epithelial
origin by staining with antibody against cytokeratine 18. The DGMECs displayed monolayer, cobble-stone, epithelial-like morphology,
and formed alveoli-like structures and island monolayer aggregates which were the typical characteristics of mammary epithelial
cells. A one-half logarithmically growth curve and cytoplasmic lipid droplets in these cells were observed. In this paper,
we also studied the lactating function of DGMECs. Results showed that DGMECs could secrete lactose and β-casein. Lactating
function of the cells had no obvious change after 48 h treated by insulin, while prolactin could obviously raise the secretion
of milk proteins and lactose. 相似文献

Studies have shown that not only does palmitic acid promote triglyceride (TG) accumulation, but it also affects cell viability in in vitro steatosis models. However, to what degree these effects are mediated by steatosis in goose primary hepatocytes is unknown. In this study, the effects of palmitic acid on the lipid metabolism homeostasis pathway and on apoptosis were determined. The authors measured the mRNA levels of genes involved in TG synthesis, lipid deposition, fatty acid oxidation and the assembly and secretion of VLDL-TG in goose primary hepatocytes. The results indicated that palmitic acid can significantly reduce the activity of goose hepatocytes, and that palmitic acid had a significant effect on TG accumulation; however, with increasing palmitic acid concentrations, the extracellular TG and extracellular VLDL concentration gradually decreased. With increasing palmitic acid concentrations, the gene expression levels of DGAT1, DGAT2, PPARα, CPT-1, FoxO1 and MTTP (which regulate hepatic TG synthesis, fatty acid oxidation and the assembly and secretion of VLDL-TGs) first increased and then decreased; the change in PLIN gene expression was palmitic acid dose-dependent, similar to the regulatory mode of intracellular TG accumulation. In conclusion, this study clearly shows that palmitic acid can promote TG accumulation and induce apoptosis in goose primary hepatocytes, and this effect may be related to the lipid metabolism pathway. 相似文献

The production of recombinant proteins in the milk of non-transgenic goats can be achieved by transducing the mammary gland with recombinant adenoviral vectors. However, this process involves several regulatory issues. The current study evaluates the biosafety of this production system. We present a preliminary biosafety profile based on detection of adenoviral particles in different body fluids and the antibody response after adenoviral transduction of the goat mammary gland. In addition, two methods of adenoviral inactivation in milk were tested. Although adenoviral particles were detected in the milk until day 4 after transduction, they were absent in serum, saliva, urine and feces. Anti-adenovirus antibodies were detected in serum and milk. The virus inactivation methods neutralized adenoviral particles and preserved the immunological identity of the recombinant protein. These results support the idea of a safe production of recombinant proteins using adenoviral vectors. 相似文献

Production of recombinant human type I procollagen homotrimer in the mammary gland of transgenic mice 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The large scale production of recombinant collagen for use in biomaterials requires an efficient expression system capable of processing a large (>400Kd) multisubunit protein requiring post-translational modifications. To investigate whether the mammary gland of transgenic animals fulfills these requirements, transgenic mice were generated containing the S1-casein mammary gland-specific promoter operatively linked to 37Kb of the human 1(I) procollagen structural gene and 3 flanking region. The frequency of transgenic lines established was 12%. High levels of soluble triple helical homotrimeric [(1)3] type I procollagen were detected (up to 8mg/ml) exclusively in the milk of six out of 9 lines of lactating transgenic mice. The transgene-derived human procollagen chains underwent efficient assembly into a triple helical structure. Although proline or lysine hydroxylation has never been described for any milk protein, procollagen was detected with these post-translational modifications. The procollagen was stable in mil; minimal degradation was observed. These results show that the mammary gland is capable of expressing a large procollagen gene construct, efficiently assembling the individual polypeptide chains into a stable triple helix, and secreting the intact molecule into the milk. 相似文献

Human lysozyme (hLYZ) has important potential applications as antimicrobial medicine and food additive. To develop a robust expression vector that ensures expression of large amounts of hLYZ in milk, here a 26,267 bp chimeric mouse whey acidic protein (mWAP)::hLYZ cassette was constructed and used as a mammary gland-specific expression vector, in which a 3,010 bp genomic sequence in the 24,466 bp mWAP gene locus was substituted by a 4,811 bp genomic sequence of hLYZ, exactly from the start codon to the stop codon. Corresponding transgenic mice were generated, and enzymatically-active hLYZ was expressed at 18.4–35 g l?1 in the milk of most transgenic mouse lines. Our transgenic mice carrying chimeric mWAP::hLYZ represent a model system for cost-effective production of hLYZ. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a well-defined group of small RNAs containing about 22 nucleotides, participate in various biological metabolic processes. miR-27a is a miRNA that is known to regulate fat synthesis and differentiation in preadipocyte cells. However, little is known regarding the role that miR-27a plays in regulating goat milk fat synthesis. In this study, we determined the miR-27a expression profile in goat mammary gland and found that miR-27a expression was correlated with the lactation cycle. Additionally, prolactin promoted miR-27a expression in goat mammary gland epithelial cells. Further functional analysis showed that over-expression of miR-27a down-regulated triglyceride accumulation and decreased the ratio of unsaturated/saturated fatty acid in mammary gland epithelial cells. miR-27a also significantly affected mRNA expression related to milk fat metabolism. Specifically, over-expression of miR-27a reduced gene mRNA expression associated with triglyceride synthesis by suppressing PPARγ protein levels. This study provides the first experimental evidence that miR-27a regulates triglyceride synthesis in goat mammary gland epithelial cells and improves our understanding about the importance of miRNAs in milk fat synthesis. 相似文献

Axin is a component of the canonical Wnt pathway that negatively regulates signal transduction by promoting degradation of beta-catenin. To study the role of Axin in development, we developed strains of transgenic mice in which its expression can be manipulated by the administration of doxycycline (Dox). Animals carrying both mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-reverse tetracycline transactivator and tetracycline response element (TRE)2-Axin-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenes exhibited Dox-dependent Axin expression and, when induced from birth, displayed abnormalities in the development of mammary glands and lymphoid tissues, both sites in which the MMTV promoter is active. The transgenic mammary glands underwent normal ductal elongation and side branching during sexual maturation and early pregnancy, but failed to develop lobulo-alveoli, resulting in a defect in lactation. Axin attenuated the expression of cyclin D1, a Wnt target that promotes the growth and differentiation of mammary lobulo-alveoli. Increased apoptosis occurred in the mammary epithelia, consistent with the inhibition of a Wnt/cyclin D1 survival signal by Axin. High levels of programmed cell death also occurred in the thymus and spleen. Immature thymocytes underwent massive apoptosis, indicating that the overexpression of Axin blocks the normal development of T lymphocytes. Our data imply that the Axin tumor suppressor controls cell survival, growth, and differentiation through the regulation of an apoptotic signaling pathway. 相似文献

Consumption of milk from transgenic goats expressing human lysozyme in the mammary gland results in the modulation of intestinal microflora 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Lysozyme is a key antimicrobial component of human milk that has several health-promoting functions including the development
of a healthy intestinal tract. However, levels of lysozyme in the milk of dairy animals are negligible. We have generated
transgenic dairy goats that express human lysozyme (HLZ) in their milk in an attempt to deliver the benefits of human milk
in a continual fashion. To test the feasibility of this transgenic approach to achieve a biological impact at the level of
the intestine, feeding trials were conducted in two animal models. Pasteurized milk from HLZ transgenic animals was fed to
both kid goats (ruminant model) and young pigs (human model), and the numbers of total coliforms and Escherichia coli present in the small intestine were determined. Data from this proof-of-principle study demonstrate that milk from transgenic
animals was capable of modulating the bacterial population of the gut in both animal models. Pigs that consumed pasteurized
milk from HLZ transgenic goats had fewer numbers of coliforms and E. coli in their intestine than did those receiving milk from non-transgenic control animals. The opposite effect was seen in goats.
Milk from these transgenic animals not only represent one of the first transgenic food products with the potential of benefiting
human health, but are also a unique model to study the development and role of intestinal microflora on health, well-being
and resistance to disease. 相似文献

The rabbit κ-casein (κ-Cas) encoding gene has been isolated as a series of overlapping DNA fragments cloned from a rabbit genomic library constructed in bacteriophage λEMBL3. The clones harboured the 7.5-kb gene flanked by about 2.1 kb upstream and 9 kb downstream sequences. The cloned gene is the most frequently occurring of two κ-Cas alleles identified in New Zealand rabbits. Comparison of the corresponding domains in rabbit and bovine κ-Cas shows that both genes comprise 5 exons and that the exon/intron boundary positions are conserved whereas the introns have diverged considerably. The first three introns are shorter in the rabbit, the second intron showing the greatest difference between the two species: 1.35 kb instead of 5.8 kb in the bovine gene. Repetitive sequence motives reminiscent of the rabbit C type repeat and the complementary inverted C type repeat were identified in the fourth and first introns, respectively. Transgenic mice were produced by microinjecting into mouse oocytes an isolated genomic DNA fragment which contained the entire κ-Cas coding region, together with 2.1-kb 5′ and 4.0-kb 3′ flanking region. Expression of transgene rabbit κ-Cas mRNA could be detected in the mammary gland of lactating transgenic mice and the production of rabbit κ-Cas was detected in milk using species-specific antibodies. The cloned gene is thus functional. 相似文献

Porcine transgenic cloning has potential applications for improving production traits and for biomedical research purposes. To produce a transgenic clone, kidney fibroblasts from a newborn Guangxi Bama mini-pig were isolated, cultured, and then transfected with red and green fluorescent protein genes using lipofectamine for nuclear transfer. The results of the present study show that the kidney fibroblasts exhibited excellent proliferative capacity and clone-like morphology, and were adequate for generation of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)-derived embryos, which was confirmed by their cleavage activity and blastocyst formation rate of 70.3% and 7.9%, respectively. Cells transfected with red fluorescent protein genes could be passed more than 35 times. Transgenic embryos cloned with fluorescent or blind enucleation methods were not significantly different with respect to cleavage rates (92.5% vs. 86.8%, p?>?0.05) and blastocyst-morula rates (26.9% vs. 34.0%, p?>?0.05), but were significantly different with respect to blastocyst rates (3.0% vs. 13.2%, p?0.05). Cleavage (75.3%, 78.5% vs. 78.0%, p?>?0.05), blastocyst (14.1%, 16.1% vs. 23.1%, p?>?0.05) and morula/blastocyst rates (43.5%, 47.0% vs. 57.6%, p?>?0.05) were not significantly different between the groups of transgenic cloned embryos, cloned embryos, and parthenogenetic embryos. This indicates that long-time screening by G418 caused no significant damage to kidney fibroblasts. Thus, kidney fibroblasts represent a promising new source for transgenic SCNT, and this work lays the foundation for the production of genetically transformed cloned Guangxi Bama mini-pigs. 相似文献

During monocot embryo development, the zygote goes through a proembryo
stage characterized by a radial symmetry and later becomes a true embryo
with a bilateral symmetry. In order to determine culture conditions for
immature embryonic stages, proembryos and embryos were isolated from
controlled pollinated maize plants and developed in
vitro. Precise culture conditions were determined for each type
of explant: a monolayer system for embryos using NBM medium enriched with
maltose (0.25 M) but without hormones, and a bilayer system for proembryo
stages using N6 medium supplemented with maltose (0.35 M) and zeatin (3
mM). Morphological, cytological, and in situ
hybridization analysis have shown that the resulting embryos (stages 1-2),
developed in vitro, were similar to those formed
in vivo and subsequently gave rise to fertile plants.
This work demonstrates that successful embryo differentiation is dependent
on specific parameters including the genotype, the nature of the carbon
source, the type and concentration of hormones used and orientation of the
embryos on the medium. The potential use of these results for embryo rescue
and mutant analysis are discussed. 相似文献

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18 is a major pathogen that causes postweaning diarrhoea and edema disease in piglets. The alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FUT1) gene has been identified as an ideal candidate gene for controlling the expression of the receptor for ECF18 bacteria. Therefore, the use of RNA interference (RNAi) to study the function of the FUT1 gene and to produce FUT1 knockdown transgenic pig would be highly beneficial. We developed an effective strategy for the expression of multiple small hairpin RNA simultaneously using multiple RNA polymerase III (hU6, hH1, mU6 and h7SK) promoters in a single vector to knockdown the FUT1 gene. Stable FUT1 knockdown transgenic fibroblast lines were generated by transfecting porcine fetal fibroblasts with the constructed vectors. Real-time RT-PCR indicated that the mRNA level of FUT1 in the transgenic fibroblast lines was significantly lower than that in the control, as much as 29 %. Finally, we successfully obtained transgenic SCNT porcine embryos. Overall, the results demonstrated that this vector-based RNAi expression system is an efficient approach to knockdown FUT1 gene expression in porcine fetal fibroblast cells, which could thereby provide donor cells for somatic cell nuclear cloning and the potential production of a marker-free transgenic pig resistant to F18 related diseases. Furthermore, it also provides strong evidence that this approach could be useful both in the production of transgenic livestock resistant to disease, and in the development of effective strategies for the suppression of gene expression in clinical gene therapy. 相似文献

AbstractTissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. We have previously produced a human tPA (htPA)-overexpressing transgenic pig using a mammary gland-specific promoter. In this study, we have established a transgenic pig mammary gland cell line that produces recombinant htPA. The mammary gland cells grew well and retained their character over long periods of culture. There was no difference in the extent of apoptosis in transgenic cells compared to wild-type mammary gland cells. In addition, the transgenic mammary gland cells expressed and secreted htPA into the conditioned media at a concentration similar to that in milk. This transgenic cell line represents a simple and ethical method for recombinant htPA production. 相似文献
