摘要:

试验旨在研究氨基酸转运体钠离子依赖的中性氨基酸转运蛋白(the sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter 2,SNAT2)在牛乳腺上皮细胞(bovine mammary epithelial cell,BMEC)中对氨基酸调节乳合成的影响。利用组织块法成功培养原代BMEC,添加不同氨基酸(蛋氨酸(Met)、赖氨酸(Lys)和亮氨酸(Leu)刺激BMEC后,通过实时荧光定量PCR、Western blotting技术和甘油三酯试剂盒检测SNAT2、酪蛋白(β-casein)基因的表达量和BMEC培养液上清甘油三酯的分泌量;将N-flag-SNAT2真核表达载体及SNAT2 siRNA分别转入细胞中进行SNAT2基因的过表达和敲低试验;通过Western blotting和甘油三酯试剂盒分别检测SNAT2、哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(the mammalian target of rapamycin,mTOR)、β-casein蛋白表达量和BMEC培养液上清的甘油三酯含量。结果显示,3种氨基酸(Met、Lys、Leu)均能显著促进BMEC分泌乳蛋白和乳脂,并激活mTOR信号途径,其中Met、Lys还能够显著上调SNAT2基因表达;SNAT2能够正向调节BMEC乳蛋白和乳脂肪的合成,并激活mTOR信号通路,说明氨基酸激活mTOR信号通路是通过SNAT2基因介导完成的,进而调节了BMEC乳蛋白和乳脂肪合成。

Abstract:

This experiment was aimed to investigate the effect of amino acid transporter the sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter 2 (SNAT2) on amino acid-stimulated milk protein and milk fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cell (BMEC).After stimulating BMEC with methionine (Met),lysine (Lys) and leucine (Leu),the expression level of SNAT2 and β-casein gene was detected by Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting,and the secretion of triglyceride in culture supernatant was detected using BMEC triglyceride kit.The N-flag-SNAT2 eukaryotic expression vector and SNAT2 siRNA were transfected into the cells for SNAT2 overexpression and knockdown experiments,respectively.The expression level of SNAT2,β-casein,the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR),and the content of triglyceride in the culture supernatant of BMEC were detected by Western blotting and triglyceride kit,respectively.The results showed that all three amino acids (Met,Lys and Leu) could significantly increase the content of milk protein and milk fat secreted by BMEC and activate the mTOR signaling pathway.Met and Lys also up-regulated significantly the expression of SNAT2 gene.SNAT2 regulated positively the synthesis of milk protein and milk fat in BMEC,and activated the mTOR signaling pathway,indicating that amino acid activation of the mTOR signaling pathway was mediated through SNAT2,which in turn regulated BMEC milk protein and milk fat synthesis.
