The study showed that Dihydromyricetin (DMY) can protect dairy cow mammary epithelial cells against heat stress-induced injury by preventing oxidative stress and balancing mitochondrial fission and fusion. This finding provides evidence for DMY as a potential therapeutic drug for treating heat stress-induced mammary gland injury and mastitis.
It is well known that the dairy cow production is very sensitive to environmental factors, including high temperature, high humidity and radiant heat sources. High temperature-induced heat stress is the main environmental factor that causes oxidative stress and apoptosis, which affects the development of mammary glands in dairy cows. Dihydromyricetin (DMY) is a nature flavonoid compound extracted from Ampelopsis grossedentata; it has been shown to have various pharmacological functions, such as anti-inflammation, antitumor and liver protection. The present study aims to evaluate the protective effect of DMY on heat stress-induced dairy cow mammary epithelial cells (DCMECs) apoptosis and explore the potential mechanisms. The results show that heat stress triggers heat shock response and reduces cell viability in DCMECs; pretreatment of DCMECs with DMY (25 ?M) for 12 h significantly alleviates the negative effects of heat stress on cells. DMY can provide cytoprotective effects by suppressing heat stress-caused mitochondrial membrane depolarization and mitochondrial dysfunction, Bax and Caspase 3 activity, and modulation of oxidative enzymes, thereby preventing ROS production and apoptosis in DCMECs. Importantly, DMY treatment could attenuate heat stress-induced mitochondrial fragmentation through mediating the expression of mitochondrial fission and fusion-related genes, including Dynamin related protein 1 (Drp1), Mitochondrial fission 1 protein (Fis1), and Mitofusin1, 2 (Mfn1, 2). Above all, our findings demonstrate that DMY could protect DCMECs against heat stress-induced injury through preventing oxidative stress, the imbalance of mitochondrial fission and fusion, which provides useful evidence that DMY can be a promising therapeutic drug for protecting heat stress-induced mammary glands injury and mastitis.
