effects of aflatoxin b1 on csn3 gene expression under in vitro cultured iranian holstein cow mammary epithelial cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
aflatoxins are toxic compounds which are produced by aspergillus flavus and a. parasiticus. these toxins can be transmitted into the animal body via contaminated feed. when these toxins enter the animal body, they can penetrate into different tissues. one of the most important tissues which can be influenced by aflatoxin is the mammary gland. milk protein is one the most important factors in determining the milk quality. this protein is controlled by different genes still, the most important gene that affects milk protein is csn3. when aflatoxin b1, as the most toxic aflatoxin, penetrates into the mammary gland, it can affect the expression of csn3 gene and consequently milk protein. to study this subject, a 2×2 cm specimen of the epithelial tissue of the bovine mammary gland in sterile condition was cut and transferred to the laboratory where enzyme digestion with collagenase was carried out. after enzyme digestion, in order to achieve a suitable cell count, primary cell culture was done. after 10 days, the cells were passaged to 24 flasks (6 repeats for each treatment) in order to exert the treatments. one week after passaging the cells, three concentrations (15, 25 and 35 µl) of aflatoxin b1 were exerted. twenty-four hours later, the cells were separated for rna extraction, cdna synthesis, and real-time pcr. mtt assay was performed to measure cell viability. the results showed that the 25 and 35 µl concentrations of aflatoxin b1 decreased the expression of csn3 gene (p<0.0001). in addition, the results of mtt assay showed that cell viability was reduced after increasing the concentrations of toxin and duration of exposure. according to the results, it seems that aflatoxin b1, by reducing the expression of csn3 gene, can decrease the milk protein.

Evaluation of STAT5A Gene Expression in Aflatoxin B1 Treated Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells.
PURPOSE Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent mycotoxin which has been produced by fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus as secondary metabolites due to their growth on food stuffs and induces hepatocellular carcinoma in many animal species, including humans. In the present study, the effect of AFB1 on STAT5A gene expression was investigated in bovine mammary epithelial cells u...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to establish a culture system and elucidate the unique characteristics of a bovine mammary epithelial cell line in vitro. METHODOLOGY Mammary tissue from a three year old lactating dairy cow (ca. 100 d relative to parturition) was used as a source of the epithelial cell line, which was cultured in collagen-coated tissue culture dishes. Fibroblasts an...

Epithelial cells from mammary gland tissue that are cultured in vitro are able to maintain specific functions of this gland, such as cellular differentiation and milk protein synthesis. These characteristics make these cells a useful model to study mammary gland physiology, development and differentiation; they can also be used for production of exogenous proteins of pharmaceutical interest.

Effects of glucose on lactose synthesis in mammary epithelial cells from dairy cow.
BACKGROUND Lactose, as the primary osmotic component in milk, is the major determinant of milk volume. Glucose is the primary precursor of lactose. However, the effect of glucose on lactose synthesis in dairy cow mammary glands and the mechanism governing this process are poorly understood. RESULTS Here we showed that glucose has the ability to induce lactose synthesis in dairy cow mammary ep...

PURPOSE Many studies have been showed transfer of aflatoxins, toxins produced by Aspergillus flvaus and Aspergillus parasiticus fungi, into milk. These toxins are transferred into the milk through digestive system by eating contaminated food. Due to the toxicity of these materials, it seems that it has side effects on the growth of mammary cells. Therefore, the present work aimed to investigate...
