摘要： Blood is an important component for maintaining animal lives and synthesizing sugars, lipids, and proteins in organs. Revealing the relationship between genes and metabolite expression and milk somatic cell count (SCC), milk fat percentage, milk protein percentage, and lactose percentage in blood is helpful for understanding the molecular regulation mechanism of milk formation. Therefore, we separated the buffy coat and plasma from the blood of Xinjiang Brown cattle (XJBC) and Chinese Simmental cattle (CSC), which exhibit high and low SCC/milk fat percentage/milk protein percentage/lactose percentages, respectively. The expression of genes in blood and the metabolites in plasma was detected via RNA-Seq and LC-MS/MS, respectively. Based on the weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and functional enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we further found that the expression of genes in the blood mainly affected the SCC and milk fat percentage. Immune or inflammatory-response-related pathways were involved in the regulation of SCC, milk fat percentage, milk protein percentage, and lactose percentage. The joint analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome further indicated that, in blood, the metabolism pathways of purine, glutathione, glycerophospholipid, glycine, arginine, and proline are also associated with SCC, while lipid metabolism and amino-acid-related metabolism pathways are associated with milk fat percentage and milk protein percentage, respectively. Finally, related SCC, milk fat percentage, and milk protein percentage DEGs and DEMs were mainly identified in the blood.
