The effects of different concentration (0, 1, 10 and 100 ng/mL) insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) on the mRNA expression of genes related to milk protein and fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells cultured in vitro were evaluated by Real-time PCR. The results showed that the mRNA abundance of insulin like growth factor-Ⅰ receptor (IGFIR), insulin-like binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), α-s1-casein (CSN1S1) and κ-casein (CSN3) did not differ significantly (P>0.05) within different concentrations of IGF-Ⅰ. However, with the increasing concentrations of IGF-Ⅰ, the mRNA abundance of β-casein (CSN2), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA), fatty acid synthase (FASN) and fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3) increased significantly (P<0.05). These results indicated that IGF-Ⅰ, as an important cytokine, might involve in regulating the mRNA expression of genes related to milk protein and fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells cultured in vitro.
