    Abstract The organic anion transporter (OAT) family is the subfamily of the solute carrier (SLC) superfamily, which plays a vital role in regulating essential nutrients in milk. However, little is known about the members’ identification, evolutionary basis, and function characteristics of OAT genes associated with milk performance in buffalo. Comparative genomic analyses were performed to identify the potential role of buffalo OAT genes in milk performance in this study. The results showed that a total of 10 and 7 OAT genes were identified in river buffalo and swamp buffalo, respectively. These sequences clustered into three groups based on their phylogenetic relationship and had similar motif patterns and gene structures in the same groups. Moreover, the river-specific expansions and homologous loss of OAT genes occurred in the two buffalo subspecies during the evolutionary process. Notably, the duplicated SLCO3A1 gene specific to river buffalo showed higher expression level in mammary gland tissue than that of swamp buffalo. These findings highlight some promising candidate genes that could be potentially utilized to accelerate the genetic progress in buffalo breeding programs. However, the identified candidate genes require further validation in a larger cohort for use in the genomic selection of buffalo for milk production.

    Abstract Cytochrome P450 aromatase 19A1 (CYP19A1) is a critical enzyme in estrogen synthesis. However, the effect of CYP19A1 on cell growth and hormone secretion of buffalo follicular granulosa cells (BFGCs) is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to assess the role of CYP19A1 in cell proliferation and hormone secretion of BFGCs by knocking down CYP19A1 mRNA expression. The mRNA expression level of CYP19A1 gene was knocked down in BFGCs using the siCYP19A1-296 fragment with the best interference efficiency of 72.63%, as affirmed by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and cell morphology analysis. The CYP19A1 knockdown promoted the proliferation of BFGCs through upregulating the mRNA expression levels of six proliferation-related genes (CCND1, CCNE1, CCNB1, CDK2, CDKN1A, and CDKN1B). Moreover, CYP19A1 knockdown increased (

    Abstract Collagens, as extracellular matrix proteins, support cells for structural integrity and contribute to support mammary basic structure and development. This study aims to perform the genomic identification, evolution, and expression analyses of the collagen gene family in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) during lactation. A total of 128 buffalo collagen protein sequences were deduced from the 45 collagen genes identified in silico from buffalo genome, which classified into six groups based on their phylogenetic relationships, conserved motifs, and gene structure analyses. The identified collagen sequences were unequally distributed on 16 chromosomes. The tandem duplicated genes were found within three chromosomes, while only one segmental event occurred between Chr3 and Chr8. Collinearity analysis revealed that a total of 36 collagen gene pairs were orthologous between buffalo and cattle genomes despite having different chromosome numbers. Comparative transcription analyses revealed that a total of 23 orthologous collagen genes were detected in the milk samples at different lactation periods between the two species. Notably, the duplicated gene pair of COL4A1-COL4A2 during lactation had a higher mRNA expression level than that of cattle, while a higher expression level of COL6A1-COL6A2 pair was found in cattle compared with that of buffalo. The present study provides useful information for investigating the potential functions of the collagen family in buffalo during lactation and helps in the functional characterization of collagen genes in additional research.

    Abstract Acylglycerophosphate acyltransferases (AGPATs) are the rate-limiting enzymes for the de novo pathway of triacylglycerols (TAG) synthesis. Although AGPATs have been extensively explored by evolution, expression and functional studies, little is known on functional characterization of how many members of the AGPAT family are involved in TAG synthesis and their impact on the cell proliferation and apoptosis. Here, 13 AGPAT genes in buffalo were identified, of which 12 AGPAT gene pairs were orthologous between buffalo and cattle. Comparative transcriptomic analysis and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) further showed that both AGPAT1 and AGPAT6 were highly expressed in milk samples of buffalo and cattle during lactation. Knockdown of AGPAT1 or AGPAT6 significantly decreased the TAG content of buffalo mammary epithelial cells (BuMECs) and bovine mammary epithelial cells (BoMECs) by regulating lipogenic gene expression (p < 0.05). Knockdown of AGPAT1 or AGPAT6 inhibited proliferation and apoptosis of BuMECs through the expression of marker genes associated with the proliferation and apoptosis (p < 0.05). Our data confirmed that both AGPAT1 and AGPAT6 could regulate TAG synthesis and growth of mammary epithelial cells in buffalo. These findings will have important implications for understanding the role of the AGPAT gene in buffalo milk performance.

    Abstract The study reported in this Research Communication was conducted to investigate the molecular characterisation of buffalo SCAP gene, expression analysis, and the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and milk production traits in 384 buffaloes. Sequence analysis revealed the SCAP gene had an open reading frame of 3837 bp encoding 1279 amino acids. A ubiquitous expression profile of SCAP gene was detected in various tissues with extreme predominance in the mammary gland during early lactation. Moreover, eleven SNPs in buffalo SCAP gene were identified, six of them (g.1717600A>G, g.1757922C>T, g.1758953G>A, g.1759142C>T, g.1760740G>A, and g.1766036T>C) were found to be significantly associated with 305-day milk yield. Thus, buffalo SCAP could sever as a candidate gene affecting milk production traits in buffalo and the identified SNPs might potentially be genetic markers.
