1
Q

stages of mammary development

A

mammogenesis = mammary epithelial cell (MEC) proliferation

  • stimulated by estrogen (+ GH + IGF-1)
  • ductal elongation
  • throughout puberty
  • fluctuation of progesterone influences alveolar development

lactogensis = ductal development & differentiation of MEC into alveolar cells capable of synthesizing & secreting milk

  • initiation of lactation
  • late pregnancy milk production
  • inititated by rising estrogen, prolactin, GH, & placental lactogen

galactopoiesis = lactation

  • parturition ➔ weaning
  • stimulus = emptying of milk & sucking

involution = apoptosis of MEC & regression of mammary gland

Q

udder tissue

A

supramammary lymph node

parenchyma = glandular secretory tissue

gland cistern = milk storage once its made

teat cistern = milk storage

furstenberg’s rosette = mucosal folding that folds over the streak canal as barrier → protection from bacteria/infx

streak canal = channel ate bottom of teat where milk exits

mammary epithelial cells (MEC) in single layer lining lumen (central cavity) = secretory tissue

myoepithelial cells contract when oxytocin is present (muscular)

alveoli form during pregnancy when progesterone causes full differentiation

Q

gene editing tools

A
  1. DNA binding proteins using engineered nucleases
  2. complex of nuclease & RNA: CRISPR-Cas9 = clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR-Cas9) uses elements of a bacterial defense system that guide complementary RNA to site in genome they want to cut
  3. repair pathways
    • introduce targeted, double-strand break in DNA for cell to repair using non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) but mistakes in repair ➔ indels (small insertions & deletions) that make DNA non-functional
    • homology directed repair (HDR) ➞ looks at pieces on end that match target site & replaces with new/changed DNA

Q

how can genetic engineering/gene editing be used in animals

A
  1. ↑ growth: GE Salmon with ↑ growth rates
    • ↓ production footprint
    • better utilization of feed (digestion & absorption)
    • more efficient at converting feed into body mass
    • reach market weight twice as fast
    • can grow year round
  2. ↓ environmental pollution
    • pigs need P → all feed has phytate (good source of P) but cannot break down in GI so need supplementation → a lot of P comes out in manure = bad for envir
    • transgenic pigs express transgene in saliva of parotid gland so they can digest phosphorus & produce 75% less P in their manure
  3. ↓ heat stress
    • editing to produce SLICK cattle → less hair
    • color dilution phenotype → lighter coat attracts less heat
  4. ↑ disease resistance
  5. treat diarrha in children under 5 via SI villi & absorption
  6. pharmaceuticals
  7. pigs as medical models
  8. xenotransplantation
  9. change food composition
  10. antimicrobial proteins ➔ treat & prevent diarrhea
    • malnourishment damages intestinal villii
    • cannot absorb nutrients
