Abstract:

The aim of this study was to clone the silent mating type information regulator 2-related enzyme 7(SIRT7)gene,detect its expression pattern in different tissues and investigate its effect on milk fat synthesis in mammary epithelial cells of dairy goats.The results showed that by designing the primers of SIRT7 gene,the sequence of SIRT7 gene in dairy goat was successfully cloned,with 1 376 bp and a coding region of 1 203 bp,encoding 400 amino acids and showing the highest homology with sheep.SIRT7 was a hydrophilic protein,free of signal peptides and transmembrane structures,with secondary structures such as irregular coils,α-helices,extended chains and β-turns.The relative expression of SIRT7 gene was the highest in the liver tissues of dairy goats,and it also had certain expression levels in other tissues by qRT-PCR.The pcDNA3.1-SIRT7 overexpression vector was successfully constructed and transfected into mammary epithelial cells of dairy goats.Compared with the control group,the mRNA level of SIRT7 gene in the overexpression group was up-regulated about 33 times.After SIRT7 gene overexpression,the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1(SCD1)gene was significantly decreased,and the expression levels of cluster of differentiation 36(CD36),diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1(DGAT1),sterol regulatory element binding protein 1(SREBP1)genes extremely significantly reduced.The content of triglyceride in cells was significantly decreased.The results of oil red O staining showed that the accumulation of lipid droplets around the nucleus was significantly reduced.Thus, SIRT7 gene inhibited lipid metabolism in mammary epithelial cells of dairy goats,which laid a foundation for further exploration of the regulatory mechanism of SIRT7 in mammary epithelial cells of dairy goats.
