The 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1 (BDH1) mainly participates in the regulation of milk fat synthesis and ketone body synthesis in mammary epithelial cells. In our previous study, BDH1 was identified as a key candidate gene regulating lipid metabolism in mammary glands of dairy goats by RNA-seq. This study aimed to investigate the effect of BDH1 on lipid metabolism in mammary epithelial cells of dairy goats (GMECs).
The results suggest that BDH1 plays a significant role in reducing triacylglycerol content and lipid droplet accumulation in GMECs (p < 0.05). Overexpression of BDH1 significantly decreased the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes (SREBF1 and GPAM) and reduced the levels of C14:0 and C17:1, while increasing FABP3 expression and C10:0 concentration (p < 0.05). Interference with BDH1 significantly increased the expression of SREBF1 and GPAM and the concentration of C14:0, C15:1, and C20:1, but significantly decreased FABP3 and C18:0 (p < 0.05). Treatment of GMECs with β-hydroxybutyric acid (R-BHBA) significantly decreased the expression of FASN, ACACA, LPL, SREBF1, FABP3, ACSL1, GPAM, DGAT1, and triacylglycerol content, while significantly increasing the expression of BDH1 (p < 0.05). Interference with BDH1 rescued the reduction of cellular TAG content and the expression of FASN, LPL, SREBF1, ACSL1, and GPAM in BHBA-treated GMECs.
In conclusion, BDH1 negatively regulates lipid metabolism in mammary glands of dairy goats. Furthermore, it may mitigate the inhibitory effect of R-BHBA on lipid metabolism in GMECs.
3-羟基丁酸脱氢酶1(BDH1)主要参与乳腺上皮细胞中乳脂肪合成和酮体合成的调控。在我们之前的研究中,通过RNA测序将BDH1鉴定为调控奶山羊乳腺脂质代谢的关键候选基因。本研究旨在探讨BDH1对奶山羊乳腺上皮细胞(GMECs)脂质代谢的影响。
结果表明,BDH1在降低GMECs中三酰甘油含量和脂滴积累方面发挥着重要作用(p < 0.05)。BDH1的过表达显著降低了脂质代谢相关基因(SREBF1和GPAM)的表达,降低了C14:0和C17:1的水平,同时增加了FABP3的表达和C10:0的浓度(p < 0.05)。干扰BDH1显著增加了SREBF1和GPAM的表达以及C14:0、C15:1和C20:1的浓度,但显著降低了FABP3和C18:0(p < 0.05)。用β-羟基丁酸(R-BHBA)处理GMECs显著降低了FASN、ACACA、LPL、SREBF1、FABP3、ACSL1、GPAM、DGAT1的表达和三酰甘油含量,同时显著增加了BDH1的表达(p < 0.05)。干扰BDH1挽救了BHBA处理的GMECs中细胞TAG含量以及FASN、LPL、SREBF1、ACSL1和GPAM表达的降低。
总之,BDH1对奶山羊乳腺脂质代谢起负调控作用。此外,它可能减轻R-BHBA对GMECs脂质代谢的抑制作用。
