Abstract
Hybrid crude palm oil (HCPO) HIE OxG is notable for its abundance of carotenoids, tocopherols, and tocotrienols. Investigating cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) and the non-cytotoxicity of oil nanoparticles is crucial for understanding the behavior of these phytochemicals in biological systems and ensuring the safety of products. Nanoparticles of HCPO, encapsulated with jackfruit by-products were produced and characterized for CAA and cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells. The nanoparticles exhibited nanoscale diameters (<250 nm), uniform distribution and stability (polydispersity index < 0.25; zeta potential JSF-NP -12.46 ± 0.15 mV and JAF-NP -13.73 ± 1.28 mV). JSF-NP and JAF-NP demonstrated superior CAA compared to the free HCPO across all concentrations, without inducing cytotoxic effects on differentiated Caco-2 cells. This study underscores the importance of investigating the CAA of edible oil nanoparticles, with non-cytotoxicity indicating biological safety and the potential to safeguard intestinal epithelial cells. Thus, JSF-NP and JAF-NP emerge as promising delivery systems for future HCPO applications.

Zhang H, Wang Y, Hu L, Cong J, Xu Z, Chen X, Rao S, Li M, Shen Z, Mauck J, Loor JJ, Yang Z, Mao Y. Potential Role of Lauric Acid in Milk Fat Synthesis in Chinese Holstein Cows Based on Integrated Analysis of Ruminal Microbiome and Metabolome. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:1493. [PMID: 38791709 PMCID: PMC11117337 DOI: 10.3390/ani14101493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The composition and metabolic profile of the ruminal microbiome have an impact on milk composition. To unravel the ruminal microbiome and metabolome affecting milk fat synthesis in dairy cows, 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene sequencing, as well as ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) methods were used to investigate the significant differences in ruminal bacterial and fungal communities as well as metabolome among Chinese Holstein cows with contrasting milk fat contents under the same diet (H-MF 5.82 ± 0.41% vs. L-MF 3.60 ± 0.12%). Another objective was to culture bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) to assess the effect of metabolites on lipid metabolism. Results showed that the acetate-to-propionate ratio and xylanase activity in ruminal fluid were both higher in H-MF. Microbiome sequencing identified 10 types of bacteria and four types of fungi differently abundant at the genus level. Metabolomics analysis indicated 11 different ruminal metabolites between the two groups, the majority of which were lipids and organic acids. Among these, lauric acid (LA) was enriched in fatty acid biosynthesis with its concentration in milk fat of H-MF cows being greater (217 vs. 156 mg per 100 g milk), thus, it was selected for an in vitro study with BMECs. Exogenous LA led to a marked increase in intracellular triglyceride (TG) content and lipid droplet formation, and it upregulated the mRNA abundance of fatty acid uptake and activation (CD36 and ACSL1), TG synthesis (DGAT1, DGAT2 and GPAM), and transcriptional regulation (SREBP1) genes. Taken together, the greater relative abundance of xylan-fermenting bacteria and fungi, and lower abundance of bacteria suppressing short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria or participating in fatty acid hydrogenation altered lipids and organic acids in the rumen of dairy cows. In BMECs, LA altered the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism in mammary cells, ultimately promoting milk fat synthesis. Thus, it appears that this fatty acid plays a key role in milk fat synthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hesperidin is a citrus flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential. However, its protective effects on bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) exposed to oxidative stress have not been elucidated. RESULTS In this study, we investigated the effects of hesperidin on H2O2-induced oxidative stress in bMECs and the underlying molecular mechanism. We found that hesperidin attenuated H2O2-induced cell damage by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, increasing catalase (CAT) activity, and improving cell proliferation and mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, hesperidin activated the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway by inducing the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and the expression of its downstream genes NQO1 and HO-1, which are antioxidant enzymes involved in ROS scavenging and cellular redox balance. The protective effects of hesperidin were blocked by the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385, indicating that they were Nrf2 dependent. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that hesperidin could protect bMECs from oxidative stress injury by activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway, suggesting that hesperidin as a natural antioxidant has positive potential as a feed additive or plant drug to promote the health benefits of bovine mammary.

[PMID: 37123620 PMCID: PMC10130354 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2023.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids are important nutrients that regulate milk fat synthesis. They regulate milk synthesis via the sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) pathway; however, the details are still unknown. Here, the regulation and mechanism of sodium acetate (SA) in milk fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) were assessed. BMECs were treated with SA supplementation (SA+) or without SA supplementation (SA-), and milk fat synthesis and activation of the SREBP1 pathway were increased (P = 0.0045; P = 0.0042) by SA+ and decreased (P = 0.0068; P = 0.0031) by SA-, respectively. Overexpression or inhibition of SREBP1 demonstrated that SA promoted milk fat synthesis (P = 0.0045) via the SREBP1 pathway. Overexpression or inhibition of TATA element modulatory factor 1 (TMF1) demonstrated that TMF1 suppressed activation of the SREBP1 pathway (P = 0.0001) and milk fat synthesis (P = 0.0022) activated by SA+. Overexpression or inhibition of TMF1 and SREBP1 showed that TMF1 suppressed milk fat synthesis (P = 0.0073) through the SREBP1 pathway. Coimmunoprecipitation analysis revealed that TMF1 interacted with SREBP1 in the cytoplasm and suppressed the nuclear localization of SREBP1 (P = 0.0066). The absence or presence of SA demonstrated that SA inhibited the expression of TMF1 (P = 0.0002) and the interaction between TMF1 and SREBP1 (P = 0.0001). Collectively, our research suggested that TMF1 was a new negative regulator of milk fat synthesis. In BMECs, SA promoted the SREBP1 pathway and milk fat synthesis by suppressing TMF1. This study enhances the current understanding of the regulation of milk fat synthesis and provides new scientific data for the regulation of milk fat synthesis.

Abstract
The sesquiterpene lactone, artemisinin, is a primary component of the medicinal plant Artemisia annua L., which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant activities. However, the potential effects of artemisinin on the mammary gland of dairy cows and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we utilized systematic network pharmacology and proteomics to elucidate the mechanism by which artemisinin affects milk production and the proliferation of bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). Nineteen bioactive compounds and 56 key targets were identified through database mining. To delineate the mechanism of artemisia’s activity, a protein-protein interaction network and integrated visual display were generated from bioinformatics assays to explore the relationships and interactions among the bioactive molecules and their targets. The gene ontology (GO) terms and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes annotation suggested that the apoptotic process, cell division, p53 pathway, prolactin and PI3K-Akt pathways played vital roles in mammary gland development. Using proteomics analysis, we identified 122 up-regulated and 96 down-regulated differentially significant expressed proteins (DSEPs). The differentially significant expressed proteins had multiple biological functions associated with cell division, apoptosis, differentiation, and migration. Gene ontology enrichment analysis suggested that differentially significant expressed proteins may promote cell proliferation and regulate apoptosis in bovine mammary epithelial cells. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis indicated that several biological pathways, such as those involved in antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion molecules and ribosomes, played significant roles in the effects of artemisinin on bovine mammary epithelial cells. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism by which artemisinin affects bovine mammary epithelial cells to improve mammary gland turnover by inducing cell proliferation and mammary gland development.

Abstract
Fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1), plays a major role in the transport and uptake of fatty acids into cells. The effect of FATP1 on the regulation of skeletal muscle fat uptake and deposition in stressed broiler chickens was investigated both in vivo and in vitro, and the effect of different fatty acid substrates were also included. Dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid (GCs), was employed to induce a hyper glucocorticoid milieu and simulate stress. The in vivo results showed that DEX would increase the mRNA expression of FATP1 and fat deposition in muscle tissues (P < 0.05), the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and insulin (INS) levels were significantly increased in the plasma by DEX (P < 0.05), and the mRNA levels of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), adiponectin receptor (ADPNR) and peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in thigh were also up-regulated by DEX (P < 0.05). In vitro experiment, DEX did not affect the myoblast fat deposition and PPARα and FATP1 expressions without the external fatty acid (P > 0.05). Under PA pre-treatment, both myoblast fatty acid uptake and fat deposition were promoted by DEX treatment (P < 0.05), and the effects of DEX on the gene expressions of GR, ADPNR, PPARα and FATP1 were upregulated first and then downregulated as the dose of DEX increases; while under OA pre-treatment, the myoblast fat deposition was not affected by DEX (P > 0.05), the fatty acid uptake was decreased by DEX at 500 nM compared to control (P < 0.05). When GR and PPARα were, respectively inhibited by specific inhibitors RU486 and GW6471, the effects of DEX on fatty acid uptake were reversed for PA pre-treated myoblasts (P < 0.05) but not for OA pre-treated myoblasts (P > 0.05). These results indicate that FATP1 regulation by GCs was affected by fatty acid substrate - saturated fatty acids were favorable for fat uptake and deposition, while unsaturated fatty acids were not. GCs may affect the ADPNR-PPARα-FATP1 pathway by binding to its receptors, thus regulating the uptake of saturated fatty acids into myoblasts.

Abstract
Trans-fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that are considered to have health risks. 1,3,5,7-Tetramethyl-8-butyrethylenediamine-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene is a highly-sensitive fluorescent labeling reagent for carboxylic acids developed by our lab. In this study, using this pre-column fluorescent derivatization reagent, a rapid and accurate high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection method was developed for the determination of two trans-fatty acids in food samples. Under the optimized derivative conditions, two trans-fatty acids were tagged with the fluorescent labeling reagent in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide at 25 °C for 30 min. Then, the baseline separation of trans- and cis-fatty acids and their saturated fatty acid with similar structures was achieved with less interference using a reversed-phased C18 column with isocratic elution in 14 min. With fluorescence detection at λex /λem = 490 nm/510 nm, the linear range of the trans-fatty acids was 1.0-200 nM with low detection limits in the range of 0.1-0.2 nM (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). In addition, the proposed approach was successfully applied for the detection of trans-fatty acids in food samples, and the recoveries using this method ranged from 96.02% to 109.22% with low relative standard deviations of 1.2-4.3% (n = 6).

Abstract
Milk fat is the most important and energy-rich substance in milk and plays an important role in the metabolism of nutrients during human growth and development. It is mainly used in the production of butter and yogurt. Milk fat not only affects the flavor and nutritional value of milk, but also is the main target trait of ruminant breeding. There are many key genes involve in ruminant milk fat synthesis, including ACSS2, FASN, ACACA, CD36, ACSL, SLC27A, FABP3, SCD, GPAM, AGPAT, LPIN, DGAT1, PLIN2, XDH, and BTN1A1. Taking the de novo synthesis of fatty acids (FA) and intaking of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in blood to the end of lipid droplet secretion as the mainline, this manuscript elucidates the complex regulation model of key genes in mammary epithelial cells (MECs) in ruminant milk fat synthesis, and constructs the whole regulatory network of milk fat synthesis, to provide valuable theoretical basis and research ideas for the study of milk fat regulation mechanism of ruminants.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) are cell wall components of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which cause clinical and subclinical mastitis, respectively. However, the reason of the difference in symptoms by pathogen type remains unclear. In this study, the influence of LPS and LTA on early response and milk production in lactating bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) was comparatively investigated. The results showed that LPS decreased the secretion of β-casein, lactose, and triglycerides, whereas LTA decreased the secretion of lactose and triglycerides but increased lactoferrin production without any influence on β-casein secretion. In addition, the influence of milk lipid droplet size in BMECs and gene expression related to milk fat synthesis was different between LPS and LTA. LPS increased the gene expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-8 through the activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathways, whereas LTA increased IL-1β and CC chemokine ligand 5 expression through the activation of the NF-κB pathway. Moreover, these cytokines and chemokines differently affected the milk production ability of BMECs. These results suggested that the pathogen-specific symptoms may be related to the differences in the early response of BMECs to bacterial toxins.

Abstract
The mammary gland of the cow is particularly susceptible to infections of a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The endotoxins of these pathogenic bacteria include peptidoglycan (PGN), lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and they are the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to induce mastitis. LPS can directly inhibit proliferation and milk fat synthesis of bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) while inducing mastitis, but it is unclear whether PGN and LTA also have such effects. Furthermore, since the three PAMPs usually appear simultaneously in the udder of cows with mastitis, their synergistic effects on proliferation and milk fat synthesis of BMECs are worth investigating. The immortalized BMECs (MAC-T cells) were stimulated for 24 h using various concentrations of PGN, LTA and LPS, respectively, to determine the doses that could effectively cause inflammatory responses. Next, the cells were stimulated for 24 h with no endotoxins (CON), PGN, LTA, LPS, PGN + LTA, and PGN + LTA + LPS, respectively, with the predetermined doses to analyze their effects on proliferation and milk fat synthesis of BMECs. PGN, LTA and LPS successfully induced inflammatory responses of BMECs with doses of 30, 30 and 0.1 μg/mL, respectively. Although the proliferation of BMECs was significantly inhibited in the following order: LTA < PGN + LTA < PGN + LTA + LPS, there was no change in cell morphology and cell death. LTA significantly promoted the expression of fatty acid synthesis-related genes but did not change the content of intracellular triglyceride (TG), compared with the CON group. The mRNA expression of fatty acid synthesis-related genes in the LPS group was the lowest among all the groups. Meanwhile, LPS significantly decreased the content of intracellular non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and TG, compared with the CON group. PGN had no effects on milk fat synthesis. Co-stimulation with PGN, LTA and LPS significantly increased the expression of fat acid synthesis-related genes and the intracellular NEFAs, but decreased intracellular TG, compared with sole LPS stimulation. Collectively, PGN, LTA and LPS showed an additive effect on inhibiting proliferation of BMECs. The promoting role of LTA in fatty acid synthesis might offset the negative effects of LPS in this regard, but co-stimulation with PGN, LTA and LPS significantly decreased intracellular TG content.
