We sought to identify novel genes involved in intestinal iron absorption by inducing iron deficiency in rats during postnatal development from the suckling period through adulthood. We then performed comparative gene chip analyses (RAE230A and RAE230B chips; Affymetrix) with cRNA derived from duodenal mucosa. Real-time PCR was used to confirm changes in gene expression. Genes encoding the apical iron transport-related proteins [ divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and duodenal cytochrome b] were strongly induced at all ages studied, whereas increases in mRNA encoding the basolateral proteins iron-regulated gene 1 and hephaestin were observed only by real-time PCR. In addition, transferrin receptor 1 and heme oxygenase 1 were induced. We also identified induction of novel genes not previously associated with intestinal iron transport. The Menkes copper ATPase (ATP7a) and metallothionein were strongly induced at all ages studied, suggesting increased copper absorption by enterocytes during iron deficiency. We also found significantly increased liver copper levels in 7- to 12-wk-old iron-deficient rats. Also upregulated at most ages examined were the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter, tripartite motif protein 27, aquaporin 4, lipocalin-interacting membrane receptor, and the breast cancer-resistance protein (ABCG2). Some genes also showed decreased expression with iron deprivation, including several membrane transporters, metabolic enzymes, and genes involved in the oxidative stress response. We speculate that dietary iron deprivation leads to increased intestinal copper absorption via DMT1 on the brush-border membrane and the Menkes copper ATPase on the basolateral membrane. These findings may thus explain copper loading in the iron-deficient state. We also demonstrate that many other novel genes may be differentially regulated in the setting of iron deprivation.

Abstract. Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a milk membrane-associated glycoprotein, which plays a critical role in phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells and mammary gland development, involution and remodeling. In the present study, the complete CDS of water buffalo MFG-E8 was obtained and characterized. The genetic variations of nine water buffalo were investigated. Further, the tissue expression profile was carried out using Quantitative real-time PCR method. The full-length coding region of MFG-E8 from water buffalo tissues consists of 1296 nucleotides, which encodes 431 amino acids with a molecular weight of 47.85 kDa and a pI of 7.02. Bioinformatic prediction indicates that the MFG-E8 protein contains one signal peptide, two repeated EGF-like domains in its N-terminal side and two repeated discoidinlike Factor 5/Factor 8 domains in its amino acids. The sequence homology analysis in Bovidae family revealed that the coding region of water buffalo MFG-E8 had 98.5, 98.3, 93.9, and 88.0 % identity with that of cattle, yak, goat and sheep. There was no polymorphism found in water buffalo, but there existed five nucleotide differences between water buffalo and other bovine species. The phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequences of MFG-E8 from thirteen species revealed that buffalo had a closer genetic relationship with the species of Bovidae family. Real-time PCR analysis showed that water buffalo MFG-E8 gene was expressed in various tissues, but at different levels. The expression levels of this gene were higher in the mammary gland than in other tissues, suggesting that the MFG-E8 protein plays a role in mammary gland functions.
