Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor-${\beta}$(TGF-${\beta}$ super-family. It acts as a negative regulator for skeletal muscle growth. Myostatin mutations are characterized by a visible, generalized increase in muscle mass in double muscled cattle breeds. To understand the biochemistry and physiology of the Chinese Yellow bovine myostatin gene, we report here for the first time expression of the gene in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Primers of the myostatin gene of Chinese Yellow Cattle were designed on the basis of the reported bovine myostatin mRNA sequence (Gen-Bank Accession No. NM005259) and optimized for E. coli codon usage. XhoI and EcoRI restriction enzyme sites were incorporated in the primers, and then cloning vector and expression vector were constructed in a different host bacterium. The expressed protein had a molecule mass of about 16 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. The expressed protein reacted specifically with myostatin monoclonal antibody on immunoblots. Our studies should lead to the investigation of the differences in myostatin genes of various cattle and could benefit human health and food animal agriculture.

Effect of kisspeptin on the proliferation and apoptosis of bovine granulosa cells

Previous studies have shown that kisspeptin (Kp-10) is expressed in mammalian ovaries; however, the expression and role of Kp-10 in bovine ovarian granulosa cells are still unclear. In this study, we assessed the expression of Kp-10 and its effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of bovine granulosa cells. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that Kp-10 was expressed in the cytoplasm of bovine ovarian granulosa cells. Moreover, MTT (3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2- H-tetrazolium bromide) assays showed that 100 nM Kp-10 significantly inhibited the viability of granulosa cells (P<0.01). Flow cytometry analysis showed that Kp-10 could significantly increase accumulation of cells in the G1 phase, decrease accumulation of cells in the S phase, and promote apoptosis in bovine granulosa cells (P<0.05). Additionally, Kp-10 decreased the mRNA levels of Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic gene; increased the mRNA levels of caspase-3, a pro-apoptotic gene; and increased the mRNA levels of Fas and Fasl, two membrane surface molecule genes (P<0.05). Thus, our findings demonstrated for the first time that Kp-10 inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis in bovine ovarian granulosa cells. These findings provide insights into our understanding of the role of Kp-10 in mediating the proliferation of bovine granulosa cells.
