Proteomic Analysis of Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland in Pre and Postpubertal Brahman Heifers
The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are directly involved in the complex systemic changes that drive the onset of puberty in cattle. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to elucidate the critical proteins underlying puberty and uncover potential molecular mechanisms from the hypothalamus...

description | The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are directly involved in the complex systemic changes that drive the onset of puberty in cattle. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to elucidate the critical proteins underlying puberty and uncover potential molecular mechanisms from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland of prepubertal (n = 6) and postpubertal (n = 6) cattle. Proteomic analysis in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland revealed 275 and 186 differentially abundant (DA) proteins, respectively (adjusted p-value < 0.01). The proteome profiles found herein were integrated with previously acquired transcriptome profiles. These transcriptomic studies used the same tissues harvested from the same heifers at pre- and post-puberty. This comparison detected a small number of matched transcripts and protein changes at puberty in each tissue, suggesting the need for multiple omics analyses for interpreting complex biological systems. In the hypothalamus, upregulated DA proteins at post-puberty were enriched in pathways related to puberty, including GnRH, calcium and oxytocin signalling pathways, whereas downregulated proteins were observed in the estrogen signalling pathway, axon guidance and GABAergic synapse. Additionally, this study revealed that ribosomal pathway proteins in the pituitary were involved in the pubertal development of mammals. The reported molecules and derived protein-protein networks are a starting point for future experimental approaches that might dissect with more detail the role of each molecule to provide new insights into the mechanisms of puberty onset in cattle. |
