Texte intégralRemodeling of the mouse mammary gland is a highly coordinated process that occurs after the removal of suckling pups from the mother. Involution, or shrinking of the mammary gland, after removal of the pups has been linked to apoptotic events within the mouse mammary tissue during forced weaning. Several transcription factors are hypothesized to be involved in this process. A transcription factor known as GATA-3, which was first identified in the thymus, is also important for maintenance of various tissue types within the mouse mammary gland; its loss leads to epithelial cell detachment and eventual death. Another transcription factor known as fetal zinc liver finger protein 1, or Fliz1, has been found to regulate GATA-3 in T-cells. This interaction had not been elucidated during involution in mouse mammary tissue. I hypothesized that Fliz1 is expressed at heightened levels during mouse mammary gland involution following forced weaning of pups, and that this expression correlates with a decrease in GATA-3 levels, with increased expression of the pro-apoptotic protein BAD. Using qRT-PCR, immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry I have shown that Fliz1 is indeed expressed in involuting mouse mammary gland tissue as well as several other tissue types. However, levels of Fliz1 remain fairly constant during involution. The findings also show that Cathepsin L, a known apoptotic marker for mammary gland involution, is substantially up-regulated during the process of mammary gland involution in the mouse. The study also revealed that GATA-3 levels as hypothesized decrease substantially during the process of mouse mammary gland involution, indicating that GATA-3 is required for maintenance of the mouse mammary gland.

Texte intégralThe dry-off is an important phase of the lactation cycle. It represents a stressful event for dairy cows because it includes several changes in animal management and physiology. Inflammatory events in this phase seem to have a carryover effect on the ensuing lactation. Moreover, the high milk yield still achieved by modern cows in late gestation can affect the adaptation to the non-lactating period and might impair future performance and health. Furthermore, the public demand to reduce antibiotic use in livestock and the spread of selective dry-cow therapy raise additional concerns about this phase. In this thesis, the effect of systemic inflammatory conditions at dry-off on the adaptation to the subsequent calving has been investigated. Then, a selective dry-cow therapy approach was evaluated, particularly focusing on the immunometabolic responses and the implications on the ensuing early lactation. Moreover, to optimize this strategy, the supplementation of a nutraceutical (Aloe arborescens Mill.) has been tested with a similar approach. Furthermore, circulating leukocyte gene expression was analyzed at the turn of the dry-off, to understand what happens at a molecular level, comparing cows with different yields, and confirming the detrimental effect of high yield on the inflammatory response. Several strategies have been proposed over the years to gradually reduce milk yield before dry-off, promoting the beginning of the mammary involution process. Thus, we evaluated the effects of feed restriction on performance and metabolism.

An influx of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) immediately after drying-off was observed to increase the proportion of PMN of somatic cell counts (SCC) of bovine mammary gland. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) involve in the remodeling of tissue under many physiological circumstances. PMN is the richest source of the MMP-9, which functions to degrade collagen Ⅳ of basement membrane proteins during tissue remodeling. It was also demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) released by PMN can induce mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) mediated-MMP-9 degranulation. The objectives of this study were to determine the involvement of MMP-9 in involution of cow mammary gland after drying-off and to assess the mechanisms by which MMP-9 might be regulated by TNF-α via autocrine/paracrine loop. Six cows were used to provide weekly mammary secretion samples from 0-3 weeks after milk-stasis. Skimmed mammary secretion were used to prepare serum and somatic cells to evaluate the alteration of content of MMP-9 and TNF-α in serum, the expression and activation of MAPK pathways of somatic cells after drying-off. Results show that SCC of mammary dry secretion abruptly increased at wk 1 and continued climbing up to wk 3. MMP-9 was not detected in regular milk but appeared at wk 0 and elevated significantly thereafter. MMP-2, on the other hand, was detected both in regular milk and dry secretion, only was higher during the latter period. The increasing MMP-9/MMP-2 ratio in mammary tissue after milk stasis suggests a greater contribution of MMP-9 to mammary involution. Content of 17kDa TNF-α in serum of dry secretion was lower than regular milk and decreased along the dry period. The expressions of MAPK family and TNF-α on somatic cells as revealed by Western blot show that less 17 kDa TNF-α relative to 26 kDa TNF-α was expressed on somatic cells of regular milk compared to that of dry glands, confirming that greater amount of 17 kDa TNF-α was released from somatic cells during lactation. The ratio of expression of phosphorylated to unphosphorylated MAPK family remained similar to wk 0 throughout dry period which suggest no MAPK pathway. Results of in vitro studies indicate that mammary dry secretion stimulated MMP-9 degranulation from PMN to 1.6 folds after 30 min incubation, which was partially abolished in the presence of p38 inhibitor but was not for anti-TNF-α antibody. A 6.1 folds of stimulatory effect on TNF-α release was observed under similar incubation environment, so did the effect of p38 inhibitor. It is postulated that the release of MMP-9 and TNF-α from PMN is partially mediated by MAPK pathway and is TNF-α autocrine/paracrine loop independent. In conclusion, SCC and MMP-9 in mammary lumen continuously increase after milk stasis of dairy cows implying their close association with mammary gland involution. The release of MMP-9 and TNF-α from somatic cells during mammary gland involution is partially mediated by activation of MAPK pathway to collaborate tissue remodeling and boost glandular immunity. The bioactive components of dry mammary secretion which promote these functions of somatic cells warrant further identification.

Plasminogen activator（PA）/plasmin system and matrix metalloproteins（MMPs）are vital proteases which breakdown extracellular matrix（ECM）and basement membrane. Large amount of proteolysis is required for tissue remodeling during involution of mammary gland. The present study explored the activity of PA/plasmin system at various lactation states. Furthermore their activities in plasma and milk neutrophils were also compared to establish the sources of variation in PA/plamsin activity in milk of goat. Plasmin activity in milk of goat was significantly higher（P < 0.05）in involution stage（including gradual involution; GI and steady involution; SI）than lactation stage but not for plasma. Therefore, the change in plasmin activity of milk was not systemic. Plasmin seemed directly participate in ECM breakdown of mammary gland during involution, and served a very important role in tissue remodeling. Plasminogen activity in milk of SI stage was higher（P < 0.05） compare to those of very active latation（VL）, less active lactation and GI stage but not in plasma. Plasminogen might be supplied as abundant precursor of plasmin during involution of mammary gland. Urokinase-PA（uPA）activity in milk of goat displayed the similar tendency as plasmin and plasminogen. Since uPA activated plasminogen to plasmin that contributed the increased plasmin activity in mammary gland during involution. Activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in milk of SI and GI were higher（P < 0.05）compare to those of VL and LL, but not in plasma. During involution, the increased activity of plasmin and uPA enhanced the activation of pro-MMP-9 and pro-MMP-2 in milk. Also, the release of MMP-9 from milk neutrophils was higher（P < 0.05） at involution stage compare to lactation stage. It is suggested that the increased activity of uPA during involution further stimulated the released of gelatinase from milk neutrophils. The results of zymography showed that plasmin in milk and plasma were approximately 75 kDa and 85 kDa in molecular weight, respectively. uPA in milk was approximately 60 kDa. The type of plasmin in milk of goats were slightly different from the 88 kDa plasmin of cow milk but the type of uPA in milk of these two species were similar. Study of the expression of uPA and uPAR（uPA-receptor） in mammary tissue of dried goats using Western blot analysis indicated that both expressed mostly in plasma membrane. uPA bound to uPAR on cell membrane was enhanced in activity towards plasminogen activation and gelatinase release. Expressions of uPA and uPAR on neutrophils from milk were also increased during involution stage. uPA up-regulates its own expression via the uPAR pathway. Therefore, increase uPA in milk elevated, the expression of both uPA and uPAR on milk neutrophils. The results of the present study suggest that the expression of uPA and uPAR in mammary tissue of involution satge increased to enhance the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Simultaneously, MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity in milk were also elevated by uPA. In turn, increase uPA activity in milk during involution stage stimulated uPA and uPAR expression on neutrophils which further released more MMP-9. Therefore, the cascades interplayed by PA/plasmin system and MMPs within mammary gland during involution work together to promote the process of tissue regression. Changes in activity of these proteases are reliable indicators of the extent of mammary involution.

Abstract Mammary gland involution is a highly complex multi-step process that is characterized by a high degree of epithelial cell death, redevelopment of the mammary adipose tissue and tissue remodeling. A significant infiltration of leukocytes and macrophages into the lumen and between the mammary epithelial cells is also a crucial process during involution that showed drastically altered expression of adhesion molecules. CD200 is an adhesion molecule belonging to immunoglobulin superfamily and well known as an immunosuppressive molecule. In our previous study, CD200 does exist on the myoepithelia of rat mammary glands and be closely related to the physical stages of the mammary epithelial cells. We hypothesize that myoepithelial CD200 may constitutively have an immunosuppressive influence on infiltrated leukocytes/macrophages during normal mammary involution to maintain an appropriate immune reaction. To verify this assumption, the evolution of immunomolecules during gland involution of rats will initially be examined. The neutralization with CD200 antiserum will then be applied to evidence the rigorous immune reaction and epithelial destruction after CD200 antibody ligation. Our preliminary data demonstrated that immune cells varied in distribution dependent on their immunomolecules and the stage of mammary regression. During the first 7 days mammary involution, CD45+ cells were mainly distributed at the intraepithelial site and increased in packing density with time through which their cell density per acinus and ROS were significantly declined. Antibody against CD200 to some extent reinforced the immune activity that showed an increased expression of ROS, immunomolecules and population of the immune cells and may lead to more advanced involution. The present data therefore suggested a constitutively immunosuppressive influence of myoepithelial cells on the immune cells during normal involution of rat mammary gland.

英文摘要 Apoptosis is a form of cell death which provides the organism with both the capability to remove specific cells during development and a way to continuously turnover cells in tissues. Oxidants such as oxygen free radicals may be essential biochemical intermediates in the progression of apoptosis. In the present study, involution of goat mammary gland following dry off was used as a model for researching apoptosis and antioxidants events. Mammary secretions were collected from goats in four different physiological stages：3 to 1 weeks before dry off（late）, 1 week following dry off（involution 1）, 2 weeks following dry off（involution 2）and 4 to 6 weeks after parturition（peak）. Cellular and non-cellular liquid parts of mammary secretion were separated（500×g, 10 min）and were used for assaying antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase（SOD）and glutathione peroxidase（GPx）and measurement of lipid peroxidation as represented by concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances（TBARS）. Cell type and morphology as well as the manner and extent of DNA degradation were also observed. Polymorphonuclear leukocyte（PMN）with an average diameter 10-15 μm was the major cell type in all stages. Mammary epithelial cell was identified immunohistochemically by fluorescence microscopy. Vacuoles and oligonucleosomal DNA laddering in ethidium bromide-stained gel indicated that cells loss by apoptosis occurred starting in late stage and most prominently during involution, but apparent not during peak stage. Direct microscopic somatic cell counts（DMSCC）for 1（56.8×105/ml）and 2（52.6×105/ml）weeks following dry off were significantly higher than those for late（28.2×105/ml）and peak（3.8×105/ml）stages. The contents of total cellular DNA（8.89mg/dl）and percentages of cellular DNA fragmentation（76﹪）during involution were higher than those of the rest stages. For non-cellular liquid of mammary secretion, SOD activity was the highest in stage involution 1（1.07 U/ml）, GPx was the highest during late stage（0.31 U/ml）. Concentrations of TBARS was the highest in stage involution 2. For the cellular part of mammary secretion, activities of SOD and GPx were significantly lower during involution than late and peak stages. No differences in concentrations of TBARS was observed for these four stages. Concentrations of cellular TBARS was highly correlated with the percentages of DNA fragmentation（r＝0.33）and cellular DNA content（r＝0.40）. Cellular activities of SOD and GPx were negatively correlated with percentages of DNA fragmentation（r＝-0.38 ＆ -0.39）. Concentrations of TBARS and SOD activity in non-cellular mammary secretion was highly correlated with percentages of DNA fragmentation（r＝0.32 ＆ 0.47）. In summary, during 1 to 2 weeks following dry off, there were significant elevation of DMSCC, total cellular DNA content, percentages of DNA fragmentation and concentrations of TBARS in mammary secretion. Meanwhile, activities of cellular SOD and GPx in mammary secretion were significantly depressed. Appearance of DNA laddering demonstrates the progression of apoptosis during involution. Finally, concentrations of TBARS in mammary secretion is a good index of mammary involution, and the lowering of antioxidative enzyme activities in cell of mammary secretion during involution probably caused DNA fragmentation therefore suggests a role of oxygen free radical in apoptosis of mammary involution.

Abstract In the present study, we demonstrated a similar CD200 expression in the myoepithelial cells of the mammary glands. Myoepithelial cells were well known to be altered morphologically under different hormonal conditions in a physiologic state correlative to the luminal epithelial cells. Indeed, our present study further showed a differential expression of myoepithelial CD200 in the rat mammary gland during resting, pregnancy, lactation and involution. CD200 is distributed at entire cytoplasmic membrane of myoepithelial cells in the virgin mammary gland. This expression is altered when rats are in pregnancy and myoepithelial CD200 is expressed only on the cytoplasmic membrane facing the basal lamina and absent on that facing the epithelium. The polarity of CD200 expression on myoepithelial cells is reversed during lactation. Interestingly, myoepithelial cells investing regressing alveoli of involuted glands showed a moderate but continuous CD200 immunoreactivity on the cytoplasmic membrane facing the basal lamina. Opposite degenerated epithelial cells, the immunoreactivity on the membrane is however intense but sporadic. Extended study on chronological changes of myoepithelial CD200 in the involuted glands showed an increased CD200 expression on myoepithelia that retracted their processes bearing more obvious protrusions with advance of the involution. At the final phase of mammary involution when the ducts and alveoli regressed towards a resting state, intense CD200 immunoreactivity was found at not only myoepithelia but some epithelial cells. The remarkable expression of epithelial CD200 was also evidenced in the mammary glands of 5-week-old pubertal rats that showed intense immunoreactivity on the cytoplasmic membrane including its apical modifications of major but not all epithelial cells. Interestingly, the outermost layer made up by cap cells of the terminal end buds has nerve possessed CD200. It is also true for epithelial cells of mammary glands during pregnancy, lactation and involution. These results indicated that myoepithelial cells of the mammary glands may be changed and related to the physiologic state of the epithelial cells by hormonal environments synchronizing the gland growth through in part CD200 adhesion molecules.
