The aim of the study was to construct a recombinant adenovirus overexpression vector for Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein-1(SREBP-1) of Xinong Saanen dairy goat, and to detect its effect on genes related to fatty acid metabolism in goat mammary epithelial cells, to establish foundation for further study of its roles in metabolism of fatty acid synthesis and lactation. First, we designed primers based on the SREBP-1 gene sequence in GenBank for PCR amplification and inserted the sequence into shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV. The recombinant plasmid pAdTrack-CMV-SREBP-1 linearized by PmeⅠ was transformed into E.?coli BJ5183 competence cell containing the backbone vector pAdEasy-1 to obtain recombinant vector pAd-SREBP-1 by homologous recombination. pAd-SREBP-1 was linearized by PacⅠ and transfected into HEK 293 cell. Then we infected goat mammary epithelial cells with recombinant adenovirus which was packaged in HEK 293 cell line. The results showed that the recombinant adenovirus vector containing SREBP-1 was successfully constructed, and the titer of virus was 109 U/mL. Compared with the control group, mRNA level of SREBP-1 increased by about 15 times after infected for 48 h and 30 times after infected for 72 h. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) and Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) was upregulated by almost 2 times. The expression level of Peroxisome proliferator activated receptorγ (PPARγ) increased by 1.5 times. Liver X receptorα (LXRα) and Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) upregulated by 1.2 times compared with that of control. But Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase (SCD) had no obvious change. In conclusion, SREBP-1 can activate the expression of genes related to fatty acid synthesis in mammary epithelial cells of Xinong Saanen dairy goat, demonstrated a regulatory function on the fatty acid metabolism in goat mammary gland.
