Nucleotide sequence polymorphisms in the promoter region of bovine growth hormone receptor gene (GHR) have no effect on its expression level in liver*

چکیده
The gene coding for bovine GHR consists of nine protein-coding exons and untranslated, alternative exons 1A, 1B, and 1C in its 5’-region. Distinct promoters regulate transcription from each of the alternative exons. The P1 promoter which drives growth hormone receptor expression in the liver is associated with exon 1A. Earlier the nucleotide sequence polymorphisms have been identified in the bovine GHR gene promoter region, including several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one TG repeat (microsatellite) of variable length. Using computer-aided analysis in TESS programme it has also been shown that the A/G transition at position -154 (RFLP-NsiI) and the C/T transition at position -1104 (Fnu4HI), both located upstream the exon 1A, co-localized with putative transcription factor-binding sites. In light of this the authors decided to study possible effects of these polymorphisms on GHR gene expression in cattle of different GHR genotypes, using Real-time PCR. Interestingly, no difference was found in GHR mRNA accumulation in liver between young Black-and-White (BW) bulls carrying (+/+), (+/-) or (-/-) genotypes at RFLP-NsiI site, (+/-) or (+/+) genotypes at RFLP-Fnu4HI site, and TG17/17 or TG21/21 alleles at TGn microsatellite, located within the P1 promoter of the bovine GHR gene.

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

The objective of this study was to determine whether and how GH regulates hepatic expression of GH receptor (GHR) mRNA in cattle. Ribonuclease protection assays revealed that injection of GH in a slow-release formula increased both hepatic GHR and IGF-I mRNAs 1 wk after the injection. The increases in GHR and IGF-I mRNAs were highly correlated. Western blot analysis showed that the injection al...
