Abstract: In order to analyze the effect of miRNAs on growth hormone (GH) secretion in pituitary cells of Yanbian Yellow cattle,the differently expressed miR-93 in the blood of Yanbian Yellow cattle and Hanyan cattle was selected to analyze the effects of miR-93 on GH secretion in pituitary cells of Yanbian Yellow cattle.The primary culture of Yanbian Yellow cattle pituitary cells was carried out,and mimics (miR-93-mi group),mimics reference substance (NC control group),inhibitor (miR-93-in group) and inhibitor reference substance (iNC group) of miR-93 were transfected into the established pituitary primary cells.After 48 h,the cells were collected and the total RNA and protein were extracted.The target genes of miR-93 were predicted by targetscan and RNA hybrid analysis software,and the target relationship of miR-93 was validated by double luciferase reporter gene system.The GH mRNA transcription and protein expression were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting,respectively.The results showed that miR-93 targeted 3'UTR of growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR);The transcription and protein expression of GH in pituitary cells of Yanbian Yellow cattle in miR-93-mi group were extremely significantly lower than those of NC control group (P<0.01);The mRNA transcription and protein expression of GHRHR in miR-93-mi group were extremely significantly lower than those of NC control group (P<0.01),while the protein expression of GHRHR in miR-93-in group were significantly higher than those of iNC group (P<0.05).The above results demonstrated that miR-93 could regulate GH secretion in pituitary cells by regulating the expression of GHRHR gene and further regulated the growth and development of Yanbian Yellow cattle.
