ABSTRACT

 

Beyranvand Z, Mirhosseini Z, Ghaderi-Zefrehei M, Fazeil A, Hosseini Moghadam SH,  Kavyani KZ., Micro RNA cellular signaling pathways for mastitis in dairy cows, Onl J Vet Res., 22 (1):38-50, 2018. Epigenetics may affect signaling pathways for mastitis in dairy cattle. In recent years, the use of microRNA’s as biomarkers has been widespread for treatment of disease. We extracted micro-RNA’s  bta-mir’s-146a, -223, -21-5p, -181 and -16a and predicted target genes with Mirtarbase and Targetscan databases. Target gene mammary gland tissue expression was extracted from NCBI database. With DAVID software, signaling pathways were identified in KEGG.  We found bta-mir-146a affected 7 proteins, -223, 11 proteins and 21-5p 9 proteins involved in cellular signaling pathways in mastitis. Micro-RNA’s b-mir-181 and -16a may affect signaling pathways for Prolactin, TLR, TNF Progesterone and Estrogen molecular markers. In this study, we found that the microRNAs examined revealed pathways that could be drug targets and/or genes for breeding to reduce incidence of mastitis.
