ABSTRACT
The PPARGC1A gene plays a fundamental role in regulating cellular energy metabolism, including adaptive thermogenesis, mitochondrial biogenesis, adipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, and glucose/fatty acid metabolism. In a previous study, our group investigated seven SNPs in Mediterranean buffalo associated with milk production traits, and the current study builds on this research by exploring the regulatory influences of the PPARGC1A gene in buffalo mammary epithelial cells (BuMECs). Our findings revealed that knockdown of PPARGC1A gene expression significantly affected the growth of BuMECs, including proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis. Additionally, we observed downregulated triglyceride secretion after PPARGC1A knockdown. Furthermore, the critical genes related to milk production, including the STATS, BAD, P53, SREBF1, and XDH genes were upregulated after RNAi, while the FABP3 gene, was downregulated. Moreover, Silencing the PPARGC1A gene led to a significant downregulation of ß-casein synthesis in BuMECs. Our study provides evidence of the importance of the PPARGC1A gene in regulating cell growth, lipid, and protein metabolism in the buffalo mammary gland. In light of our previous research, the current study underscores the potential of this gene for improving milk production efficiency and overall dairy productivity in buffalo populations.
