[ Method] Expression pattern of bbu-miR-103-1 at lactation and non-lactation periods were detected by qRT-PCR. The precursor expression plasmid of bbu-miR-103-1 was constructed and named LpEZX-pre-miR-103-1. It was packaged and propagated to produce high-titer lenti- virus in 293T cell lines, which could be used to infect buffalo mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and over express bbu-miR-103-1. The inhibitor of bbu-miR- 103-1 was chemically synthesized and transfected into BMECs to suppress bbu-miR-103-1 at the same time. The relative expression of pantothenate kinase 3 ( PANK3 ) and milk fat metabolism related genes were detected by qRT-PCR. [ Result] The relative expression of bbu-miR-103-1 at lactation period was 5.29 times higher than that at non-lactation period in buffalo ( P 〈 0.01 ). The LpEZX-pre-miR-103-1 had been successfully constructed and packaged with the infection titer of 3.47×10^6 PFU/mL. Overexpress or suppress of bbu-miR-103-1 extremely down-regulated or up-regulated the expression level of PANK3 in BMECs ( P 〈 0.01 ). Over expression of bbu-miR-103~l extremely enhanced the expression of Acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha(ACACA), Glycerol-3-phosphate acyhransferase 1 mitochon- drial (GPAM), Diacylglycerol Oacyhransferase l (DGAT1) and Pyrnvate dehydrogenase lipoamide kinase isozyme 4 (PDK4) (P 〈0.01 ), and also significantly up-regulated the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 c (SREBPI c), Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP), Cluster of differentiation 36 ( CD36), Acetyl-CoA synthetase short-chain subfamily member 1 (ACSS1) (P 〈0.05). Over expression of bbu-miR-103-1 down-regulated the expression of PANK3, and improved the mRNA level of SREBPlc by feedback regulation, finally promoting the de novo synthesis of fatty acid beginning with ACACA. [ Conclusion] bbu-miR-103-1 plays an important role in enhancing milk fatty acid synthesis, which provides a molecular base for revealing formation and regulatory mechanism of high-level milk fat in buffalo.展开更多
