GosB Inhibits Triacylglycerol Synthesis and Promotes Cell Survival in Mouse Mammary Epithelial Cells

Figure 1

Effects of GosB on the expression of genes related to milk fat synthesis in cultured mouse mammary gland epithelial cells (MEC). (a) Relative mRNA levels of GosB in various mice tissues. (b) The mRNA expression of GosB in the mouse mammary gland on day 5 of lactation or nonlactation. (c) Relative mRNA levels of GosB in MEC transfected with Ad-GosB or Ad-siGosB for 48 hours. The effect of GosB on the expression of genes related to (d) fatty acid (FA) uptake (LPL, CD36); (e) FA de novo synthesis and desaturation (SCD, FASN); (f) triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis and hydrolysis (FABP4, AGPAT6, and DGAT1); (g) lipid-droplet formation (PLIN2, PLIN3); (h) transcription factors (C/EBPα and SREBF1) were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Values are means ± SEM for three individuals. ; ; . The abbreviations were shown in supplementary information.
