This study explores the feasibility of utilizing in vitro cultivated milk-derived bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) for the production of milk constituents. BMECs were isolated from milk and treated with various lactogenic agents in 3D transwell systems. By proteomics, >900 proteins were identified and quantified in the secretomes, including >100 milk-related proteins such as caseins and enzymes.

Heightened energetic and nutrient demand during lactogenic differentiation of the mammary gland elicits upregulation of various stress responses to support cellular homeostasis. Here, we identify the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) as an immune supporter of the functional development of mouse mammary epithelial cells (MECs). An in vitro model of MEC differentiation revealed that STING is activated in a cGAS-independent manner to produce both type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokines in response to the accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species.

Ketosis is a common metabolic disorder in high-yielding cows and is characterized by high concentrations of BHB and free fatty acids (FFA). High concentrations of FFA induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in multiple organs including mammary tissue, and result in reduced milk production and lower milk quality. In nonruminants, loss of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 1 (NFE2L1) results in ER stress.

Excess growth hormone (GH) has been implicated in multiple cancer types and there is increasing interest in the development of therapeutic inhibitors targeting GH-GH receptor (GHR) signalling. Here we describe a panel of anti-GH monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) generated using a hybridoma approach and identify two novel inhibitory mAbs (1-8-2 and 1-46-3) that neutralised GH signalling. mAbs 1-8-2 and 1-46-3 exhibited strong inhibitory activity against GH-dependent cell growth in a Ba/F3-GHR cell viability assay, with EC50 values of 1.

In vitro investigation of bovine lactation processes is limited by a lack of physiologically representative cell models. This deficiency is most evident through the minimal or absent expression of lactation-specific genes in cultured bovine mammary tissues. Primary bovine mammary epithelial cells (pbMECs) extracted from lactating mammary tissue and grown in culture initially express milk protein transcripts at relatively representative levels.
