MicroRNA-221 regulates proliferation of bovine mammary gland epithelial cells by targeting the STAT5a and IRS1 genes
23 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNA) play an essential role in mammary gland development and lactation. Previous studies in cattle have shown that miR-221 is highly expressed in peak compared with early lactation. However, the functions of miR-221 in bovine mammary gland epithelial cells and the mechanisms by which this miRNA affects cell proliferation and milk synthesis remain unclear. We hypothesized that miR-221 targets and...
