摘要: Heat stress-induced reductions in milk yield and the dysfunction of mammary glands are economically important challenges that face the dairy industry, especially during summer. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of heat stress on mitochondrial function by using dairy cow mammary epithelial cells (DCMECs) as an in vitro model. Live cell imaging shows that the mitochondria continually change shape through fission and fusion. However, heat stress induces the fragmentation of mitochondria, as well as the decreased of ATP level, membrane potential, and anti-oxidant enzyme activity and the increased of respiratory chain complex I activity. In addition, the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and cytochrome c expression (Cyto-c) were increased after heat stress treatment. Both qRT-PCR and western blot analysis indicate that mitofusin1/2 (Mfn1/2) and optic atrophy protein-1 (Opa-1) are downregulated after heat stress, whereas dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) and fission 1 (Fis-1) are upregulated, which explains the observed defect of mitochondrial network dynamics. Accordingly, the present study indicated that heat stress induced the dysfunction of DCMEC through disruption of the normal balance of mitochondrial fission and fusion.
