Visfatin was originally identified as a growth factor for immature B cells, and recently demonstrated to bind insulin receptor. Visfatin mRNA and protein were detected by RTPCR and Western blot analysis in cloned bovine mammary epithelial cells, lactating bovine mammary gland and human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Immunocytochemical staining localized the visfatin protein in the cytosol and nucleus of both cells. Quantitative-RT-PCR analysis revealed that the expression of the visfatin mRNA was significantly elevated when treated with forskolin (500 mu M), isopreterenol (1-10 mu M) and dibutyric cyclic AMP (1 mM) for 24 h, and significantly reduced when treated with insulin (5-50 ng/ml) and dexsamethasone (0.5-250 nM) for 24 h. These results indicate that mammary epithelial cells express the visfatin protein and secrete them into the milk. (c) 2006 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
