Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of prolactin (PRL) on development of secondary skin follicles in cashmere goats. Goats were randomly assigned to either a bromocriptine treatment or control group. Samples of cashmere fiber, blood, and skin were collected from all goats after 1 mo. The results indicated that the length, growth rate, and diameter of fibers were not influenced (P > 0.05) by the inhibition of PRL resulting from the treatment with bromocriptine. There was a tendency for increases in total follicle number, primary and secondary follicle numbers, and in the ratio of secondary to primary follicles following treatment with bromocriptine, but these differences were not significant (P > 0.05). The percentage of active secondary follicles in anagen was increased (P < 0.05) in the bromocriptine-treated goats, but there was no effect of treatment on the percentage of active primary follicles. Bromocriptine decreased (P < 0.05) circulating concentrations of PRL and Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and increased (P < 0.05) those of melatonin (MT), but there was no effect of this treatment on the serum concentrations of cortisol, growth hormone, tetraiodothyronine, and triiodothyronine. In bromocriptine-treated goats, mRNA expressions of PRL and MT membrane receptor 1a (MTNR1a) were decreased (P < 0.05) and mRNA expression of MT nuclear receptor (RORα) was increased (P < 0.05), but there was no effect of the treatment on expression of long PRL receptor, short PRL receptor, MT membrane receptor 1b and IGF1. It is concluded that inhibition of PRL promotes secondary hair follicle development in the anagen phase, possibly by downregulating MTNR1a and up-regulating RORα gene expression in the skin.

Abstract
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are important structural components of fibers that predominantly present in the ortho-cortex. These proteins form a cross-linked network with keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs), thus producing a strong hair shaft. The keratin-associated protein 6-1 gene (KAP6-1) is a member of the KAPs family that has a potential correlation with fiber traits. In this study, we investigated the influence of KAP6-1 sequence polymorphisms on the fiber characteristics of a Chinese cashmere-producing goat breed (n = 844). Two main variants were found, including a three base pair (bp) deletion (namely B) and a 36-bp deletion (namely C), while the reference genotype of KAP6-1 was named A. Among them, the B variant was first reported on cashmere goats. This study then correlated these genotypes with the collected fiber data to investigate the potential association of these variants. The results showed that variant A is associated with decreased fiber diameter (p < 0.01), while variant C is associated with deceased fiber length (p < 0.01). These two related variants of the KAP6-1 gene have potential applications as gene-makers to improve the fiber diameter and length in cashmere-producing goats.

Abstract
The undercoat fiber of the cashmere goat, from the secondary hair follicle (HF), possesses commercial value. However, very few studies have focused on the molecular details of primary and secondary HF initiation and development in goat embryos. In this study, skin samples at embryonic day 45, 55, and 65 (E45, E55, and E65) were collected and prepared for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We found that the HF probably initiated from E55 to E65 by analyzing the functional pathways of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Most key genes in canonical signaling pathways, including WNT, TGF-β, FGF, Hedgehog, NOTCH, and other factors showed clear expression changes from E55 to E65. We, for the first time, explored alternative splicing (AS) alterations, which showed distinct patterns among these three stages. Functional pathways of AS-regulated genes showed connections to HF development. By comparing the published RNA-seq samples from the E60, E120, and newborn (NB) stages, we found the majority of WNT/β-catenin signaling genes were important in the initiation of HF development, while other factors including FOXN1, GATA3, and DLX3 may have a consistent influence on HF development. Our investigation supported the time points of embryonic HF initiation and identified genes that have potential functions of embryonic HF initiation and development. We further explored the potential regulatory roles of AS in HF initiation, which extended our knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of HF development.

Abstract
Guard hair and cashmere undercoat are developed from primary and secondary hair follicle, respectively. Little is known about the gene expression differences between primary and secondary hair follicle cycling. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from cashmere and milk goats grown at four different seasons. We studied the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the yearly hair follicle cycling, and between cashmere and milk goats. WNT, NOTCH, MAPK, BMP, TGFβ and Hedgehog signaling pathways were involved in hair follicle cycling in both cashmere and milk goat. However, Milk goat DEGs between different months were significantly more than cashmere goat DEGs, with the largest difference being identified in December. Some expression dynamics were confirmed by quantitative PCR and western blot, and immunohistochemistry. This study offers new information sources related to hair follicle cycling in milk and cashmere goats, which could be applicable to improve the wool production and quality.

Abstract
It has been long established that the right balance in trace elements is required to ensure animal health and optimal growth. Hair is particularly rich in trace elements such as sulfur and it has been proposed that the quality of fibres derived from hair may be influenced by the amount of trace elements present. In this study, we evaluated the quality and mineral content of Raeini goat cashmere over the course of 1 year. Potential factors that can influence the mineral content of cashmere were further considered, including sex, age, seasons, herd variables and serum trace elements. Twenty-four male and 48 female Raeini goats were selected and a total of 216 fibre samples were taken during two 6-month intervals of annual fibre growth from nomadic, rural and breeding station flocks. In addition, samples of blood, soil, range forage, animal ration (hand feeding), and surface and deep water from four seasons were also obtained. The results indicate a positive correlation between cashmere percentage and zinc content. In addition, we also observed a negative correlation between cashmere tenacity and its zinc, sulfur and serum copper content. These results provide new insights into the factors affecting cashmere quality, and will aid in designing new studies for determining the best combination of factors that lead to optimal cashmere quality.
