This study aimed to evaluate the effect of heat stress on mammary epithelial cell (MEC) losses into milk, secretory mammary tissue structure, and mammary epithelial cell activity. Sixteen multiparous Holstein cows (632 ± 12 kg BW) approximately 100 DIM housed in climate-controlled rooms were paired by BW and randomly allocated to one of 2 treatments, heat stress (HS) or pair-feeding thermoneutral (PFTN) using 2 cohorts. Each cohort was subjected to 2 periods of 4 d each. In period 1, both treatments had ad libitum access to a common TMR and were exposed to a controlled daily temperature-humidity index (THI) of 64. In period 2, HS cows were exposed to controlled cyclical heat stress (THI: 74-80), while PFTN cows remained at 64 THI and daily DMI was matched to that of the HS cows. Cows were milked twice daily, and milk yield was recorded at each milking. Individual milk samples on the last day of each period were used to quantify MEC losses by flow cytometry using butyrophilin as a cell surface marker. On the final day of period 2, individual bovine mammary tissue samples were obtained for histomorphology analysis, assessment of protein abundance, and evaluation of gene expression of targets associated with cellular capacity for milk and milk component synthesis, heat response, cellular proliferation, and autophagy. Statistical analysis was performed using the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS. Milk yield was reduced by 4.3 kg by HS (n = 7) compared with PFTN (n = 8). Independent of treatment, MEC in milk averaged 174 cells/mL (2.9% of total cells). There was no difference between HS and PFTN cows for MEC shed or concentration in milk. Alveolar area was reduced 25% by HS, and HS had 4.1 more alveoli than PFTN. The total number of nucleated MEC per area was greater in HS cows (389 ± 1.05; mean ± SE) compared with PFTN (321 ± 1.05); however, cell number per alveolus was similar between groups (25 ± 1.5 vs. 26 ± 1.4). There were no differences in relative fold expression for GLUT1, GLUT8, CSN2, CSN3, LALBA, FASN, HSPA5, and HSPA8 in HS cows compared with PFTN cows. Immunoblotting analyses showed a decrease in abundance for phosphorylated STAT5 and S6K1, and an increase in LC3 II in HS cows compared with PFTN cows. These results suggest that even if milk yield differences and histological changes occur in the bovine mammary gland after 4 d of heat exposure, MEC loss into milk, nucleated MEC number per alveolus, and gene expression of nutrient transport, milk component synthesis, and heat-stress-related targets are unaffected. In contrast, the abundance of proteins related to protein synthesis and cell survival decreased significantly, whereas proteins associated with autophagy were upregulated in HS cows compared with PFTN cows.

Regulation of gene expression in milk secretory pathways during secretory activation in Holstein cows

Increased transcription of genes involved in lactose synthesis is a key feature of secretory activation of the mammary gland. We determined which genes are transcriptionally regulated during the transition from colostrum to milk in cows and whether more frequent milking of one udder half would increase milk yields and alter gene expression. We enrolled 12 Holstein cows immediately after calving, harvested colostrum, then randomly assigned one udder half to 12 h (2X) or 6 h (4X) milking intervals for 48 h after first milking. After 48 h, all quarters were milked twice daily until d7, when final quarter milk yields were collected. Yields and composition of colostrum and milk were recorded for each 12 h interval. After each milking, a strip sample of hind milk was collected for isolation of RNA from milk fat and quantification of selected transcripts via qPCR. Milk, milk fat, total protein, and lactose yields increased significantly over the initial 48 h and at d7 after calving. Quarters on 4X treatment produced more milk than the contralateral 2X quarters. Genes upregulated concomitantly with milk yields encoded α-lactalbumin (LALBA), β-1,4-galactosyltransferase (B4GALT1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), β casein (CSN2), and folate receptor α (FOLR1). Downregulated genes encoded monosaccharide transporters (SLC2A3, SLC2A8, SLC35A2) and enzymes involved in galactose synthesis (HK1, PGM1, GALE). Three genes were initially downregulated but later upregulated at d7 (LPIN1, SLC2A1, UGP2). Notably, milking frequency had no effect on gene expression. Sequential upregulation first of genes encoding the former enzymes, then of UGP2, may be necessary for copious milk production. However, the local effects of milking frequency on milk production during lactogenesis do not appear to be controlled by transcription of these genes related to lactose synthesis.

BACKGROUND/AIMOver-expression of glucose transporters (GLUTs), membrane proteins that facilitate glucose transport, has been implicated in cutaneous melanomas. Our prior studies have demonstrated increased expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 in melanomas and their association with poorer prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression of GLUT isoforms 4 and 8 in melanocytic lesions, examine the co-expression status of multiple GLUTs, and evaluate their prognostic significance.MATERIALS AND METHODSWe analyzed 171 melanocytic lesions (97 primary melanomas, 19 metastatic melanomas, and 55 nevi) using a tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry using antibodies against GLUT4 and GLUT8. Membranous expression of GLUTs was scored using a semi-quantitative method. A combined GLUT total score was generated by summing scores from GLUT1, GLUT3, GLUT4, and GLUT8 (including data from previous studies).RESULTSA significant up-regulation of GLUT4 and GLUT8 expression was found in melanomas compared to nevi (p<0.0001 for both). Concurrent over-expression of multiple GLUTs was more prevalent in melanomas compared to nevi (p<0.0001), and it was also more frequent in metastatic melanomas compared to primary melanomas (p=0.047). Importantly, high total GLUT expression scores were significantly correlated with negative prognostic factors, such as ulceration and mitoses (p=0.03 and p=0.008 respectively). Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that patients with elevated GLUT total score in their melanomas had a lower disease-specific survival (p=0.006). Furthermore, analysis of multiple GLUTs improved diagnostic sensitivity.CONCLUSIONSimilar to GLUT1 and GLUT3, melanoma exhibits up-regulation of GLUT 4 and GLUT8 compared to nevi. Evaluation of multiple GLUT isoforms improves diagnostic and prognostic values.
