Insights into Dietary Different Co-Forms of Lysine and Glutamate on Growth Performance, Muscle Development, Antioxidation and Related Gene Expressions in Juvenile Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2024; 26:74-91. [PMID: 38153607 DOI: 10.1007/s10126-023-10278-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to compare the effects of crystalline L-lysine and L-glutamate (CAA), Lys-Glu dipeptide (KE) on the growth and muscle development of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), and related molecular mechanisms. Five experimental diets (CR, 0.5% CAA, 1.5% CAA, 0.5% KE, 1.5% KE) containing Lys and Glu as free (Lys and Glu, CAA) dipeptide (Lys-Glu, KE) forms were prepared, respectively. A total of 450 juvenile grass carp with an initial weight of 10.69 ± 0.07 g were randomly assigned to 15 cages, and 5 treatments with 3 replicates of 30 fish each for 61 days of feeding. The results showed that the group of 0.5% KE exhibited the best growth performances according to the indicator's weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR), although no statistically significant occurred among all groups; diet supplemented with 0.5% CAA significantly elevated the condition factor (CF) and viscerasomatic index (VSI) of juvenile grass carp. Diet supplemented with different Lys and Glu co-forms at different levels promoted the muscle amino acid content compared with those of CR group. Comparing with the CR group and other groups, the hardness of 0.5% CAA group significantly increased, and the springiness of 0.5% KE group excelled. Both the muscle fiber diameter and density of 0.5% KE group showed significant difference with those of the CR group, and a negative correlation between them was also observed. To uncover the related molecular mechanism of the differences caused by the different co-forms of Lys and Glu, the effect of different diets on the expressions of protein absorption, muscle quality, and antioxidation-related genes was analyzed. The results suggested that comparing with those of CR group, the dipeptide KE inhibited the expressions of genes associated with protein metabolism, such as AKT, S6K1, and FoxO1a but promoted PCNA expression, while the free style of CAA would improve the FoxO1a expression. Additionally, the muscle development-related genes (MyoD, MyOG, and Myf5) were significantly boosted in CAA co-form groups, and the expressions of fMYHCs were blocked but fMYHCs30 significantly promoted in 0.5% KE group. Finally, the effect of different co-forms of Lys and Glu on muscle antioxidant was examined. The 0.5% CAA diet was verified to increase GPX1a but obstruct Keap1 and GSTP1 expressions, resulting in enhanced SOD activity and reduced MDA levels in plasma. Collectively, the different co-forms of Lys and Glu influenced the growth of juvenile grass carp, and also the muscle development and quality through their different regulation on the protein metabolism, muscle development- and antioxidative-related genes.

Effects of Dietary Vegetable Oil Mixtures including Soybean Oil on Intestinal Oxidative Stress in Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus aurata). Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13061069. [PMID: 36978610 PMCID: PMC10044481 DOI: 10.3390/ani13061069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Fish oil is commonly replaced by vegetable oils in sea bream diets, but little is known about their effects on intestinal health regarding oxidative stress biomarkers. The negative effects of lipid peroxidation on digestive mucosa could have consequences in animal nutrition and welfare. In this study, five isonitrogenous (46%) and isolipidic (22%) diets with 75% of vegetable oils inclusion were evaluated: soybean oil (S) alone or different mixtures containing soybean oil with linseed (SL), linseed and rapeseed (SLR), linseed and palm (SLP), and linseed, rapeseed, and palm (SLRP). Gilthead sea bream juveniles were fed twice a day for 18 weeks. Pyloric caeca and proximal intestine samples were collected 24 h post feeding for lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GPx, GST, and GR) and gene expression analyses. Pyloric caeca presented larger unhealthy changes in oxidative status than proximal intestine. Although SL-fed fish showed the highest antioxidant activities, they were unable to cope with LPO that in pyloric caeca was 31.4 times higher than in the other groups. Instead, SLP fish presented the best oxidative status, with low LPO levels, antioxidant enzyme activities, and gene expression. In summary, between the vegetable oils dietary mixtures tested, SPL would maintain better intestinal health.

Molecular characterization of adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 and its regulatory mechanism for inosine monophosphate formation in triploid crucian carp. Front Physiol 2022; 13:970939. [PMID: 36111156 PMCID: PMC9468423 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.970939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Inosine monophosphate (IMP) is the main flavoring substance in aquatic animal, and adenosine monophosphate deaminase1 (AMPD1) gene is a key gene in IMP formation. At present, the research on the mechanism of AMPD1 regulating IMP formation in aquatic animal is still blank. In this study, in order to study the mechanism of AMPD1 regulating IMP formation in fish, the full open reading frame (ORF) of AMPD1 which was 2160bp was obtained for the first time in triploid crucian carp (Carassius auratus). It encoded 719 amino acids with a molecular mass of 82.97 kDa, and the theoretical isoelectric point value was 6.31. The homology analysis showed that the homology of triploid crucian carp and diploid Carassius auratus was the highest, up to 99%. And the phylogenetic tree showed that triploid crucian carp was grouped with diploid Carassius auratus, Culter alburnus, and Danio rerio. And real-time fluorescence quantitative results showed that AMPD1 was expressed specifically in muscle of triploid crucian carp (p < 0.05). The results of detection the localization of AMPD1 in cells indicated that the AMPD1 was mainly localized in cytoplasm and cell membrane. Further, we examined the effects of glutamate which was the promotor of IMP formation on the expression of AMPD1 and the formation of IMP in vivo and in vitro experiments, the results showed that 3% glutamate and 2 mg/ml glutamate could significantly promote AMPD1 expression and IMP formation in triploid crucian carp muscle tissue and muscle cells (p < 0.05). Then we inhibited the expression of AMPD1 in vivo and in vitro experiments, we found the formation of IMP in muscle tissue and muscle cells of triploid crucian carp all were inhibited and they affected the gene expression of AMPK-mTOR signaling pathway. The all results showed that AMPD1 mediated glutamate through AMPK-mTOR signaling pathway to regulate the formation of fish IMP.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 119:373-378.

Abstract
Soya-saponins represent key anti-nutritional factors that contribute to soybean meal-induced enteritis, and glutamine is an effective fish intestine protectant that combats the negative effects of soya-saponins. Nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-кB) systems are involved in the interactions between soya-saponins and glutamine, and the goal of the present work was to clarify the related molecular mechanisms used by the NF-кB kinase (IKK)/inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB)/NF-кB system. Primary cultured turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) intestinal epithelial cells were concurrently administrated with 1 mg/mL of soya-saponins and several levels of glutamine (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM) for 12 h and then subjected to real-time PCR and Western blot assays. Compared with cells treated with soya-saponins alone, glutamine significantly decreased the expression of interleukin-1 beta, interleukin 8 and tumor necrosis factor α genes, significantly reduced nuclear and cytosolic NF-κB p65 abundance levels in a dose-dependent manner, increased the IκBα protein level but decreased its phosphorylation, and down-regulated the IKKα/β and phosphorylated IKKα/β levels. In conclusion, this in vitro work confirmed that glutamine attenuated soya-saponin-induced inflammatory responses in turbot intestines. Moreover, it identified molecular pathways in which glutamine first decreased the p65 level and then prevented its nuclear translocation. In addition, glutamine reduced IκBα phosphorylation and maintained its level. Finally, glutamine decreased IKK expression and phosphorylation.

Abstract
Aquaculture is increasingly important for providing humans with high-quality animal protein to improve growth, development and health. Farm-raised fish and shellfish now exceed captured fisheries for foods. More than 70% of the production cost is dependent on the supply of compound feeds. A public debate or concern over aquaculture is its environmental sustainability as many fish species have high requirements for dietary protein and fishmeal. Protein or amino acids (AAs), which are the major component of tissue growth, are generally the most expensive nutrients in animal production and, therefore, are crucial for aquatic feed development. There is compelling evidence that an adequate supply of both traditionally classified nutritionally essential amino acids (EAAs) and non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) in diets improve the growth, development and production performance of aquatic animals (e.g., larval metamorphosis). The processes for the utilization of dietary AAs or protein utilization by animals include digestion, absorption and metabolism. The digestibility and bioavailability of AAs should be carefully evaluated because feed production processes and AA degradation in the gut affect the amounts of dietary AAs that enter the blood circulation. Absorbed AAs are utilized for the syntheses of protein, peptides, AAs, and other metabolites (including nucleotides); biological oxidation and ATP production; gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis; and the regulation of acid-base balance, anti-oxidative reactions, and immune responses. Fish producers usually focus on the content or digestibility of dietary crude protein without considering the supply of AAs in the diet. In experiments involving dietary supplementation with AAs, inappropriate AAs (e.g., glycine and glutamate) are often used as the isonitrogenous control. At present, limited knowledge is available about either the cell- and tissue-specific metabolism of AAs or the effects of feed processing methods on the digestion and utilization of AAs in different fish species. These issues should be addressed to develop environment-friendly aquafeeds and reduce feed costs to sustain the global aquaculture.

Individual and Combined Effects of Aflatoxin B1 and Sterigmatocystin on Lipid Peroxidation and Glutathione Redox System of Common Carp Liver. Toxins (Basel) 2021; 13:toxins13020109.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the short-term effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1 100 µg/kg feed) and sterigmatocystin (STC 1000 μg/kg feed) exposure individually and in combination (100 μg AFB1 + 1000 μg STC/kg feed) on the parameters of lipid peroxidation and glutathione redox system both in biochemical and gene expression levels in one-year-old common carp. Lipid peroxidation parameters were slightly affected, as significant differences were observed only in conjugated diene and triene concentrations. Reduced glutathione content decreased more markedly by STC than AFB1 or AFB1+STC, but glutathione peroxidase activity did not change. Expression of gpx4a, gpx4b, gss, and gsr genes was down-regulated due to STC compared to AFB1 or AFB1+STC, while an induction was found as effect of AFB1+STC in the case of gpx4a, but down-regulation for gpx4b as compared to AFB1. Expression of the glutathione biosynthesis regulatory gene, gss, was higher, but glutathione recycling enzyme encoding gene, gsr, was lower as an effect of AFB1+STC compared to AFB1. These results are supported by the changes in the expression of transcription factors encoding genes, nrf2, and keap1. The results revealed that individual effects of AFB1 and STC on different parameters are synergistic or antagonistic in multi-toxin treatment.

Abstract
This study was performed to determine effects of dietary isoleucine (Ile) on growth performance, and intestinal immunological and physical barrier function of hybrid catfish Pelteobagrus vachelli × Leiocassis longirostris. Six hundred and thirty fish (33.11 ± 0.09 g) were randomly divided into seven experimental groups with three replicates each, and respectively fed seven diets with 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, and 20.0 g Ile kg-1 diets for 8 weeks. The results showed improvement of growth performance, feed intake, feed utilization, relative gut length (RGL), and intestinal fold height and width by dietary Ile (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, dietary Ile (12.5 g kg-1 diet) improved the activities of lysozyme (LZM), acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and the contents of complement 3 (C3), C4, and immunoglobulin M (IgM) (P < 0.05). The c-type-lectin, c-LZM, g-LZM, and hepcidin mRNA expressions in the intestine were up-regulated in fish fed diets with 10.0-20.0 g Ile kg-1 diet (P < 0.05). Dietary Ile (10.0-12.5 g Ile kg-1 diet) increased intestinal β-defensin mRNA expression partially in association with Sirt1/ERK/90RSK signaling pathway. Dietary Ile (12.5-15.0 g Ile kg-1 diet) decreased oxidative damage and improved antioxidant ability by increasing activities and expressions of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase (P < 0.05). The occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2, claudin3, and claudin 7 mRNA expressions in the intestine were up-regulated in fish fed diets with 10.0 and 12.5 g Ile kg-1 diet (P < 0.05), whereas the myosin light chain kinase gene expression was decreased in fish fed diets with 7.5-17.5 g Ile kg-1 diet. Dietary Ile (10-12.5 g Ile kg-1 diet) decreased apoptotic responses by reducing the expression of caspase3 and caspase 9 via the AKT/TOR signaling pathway. Based on the quadratic regression analysis of PWG, the dietary Ile requirement of hybrid catfish was estimated to be 12.43 g Ile kg-1 diet, corresponding to 32.05 g Ile kg-1 dietary protein. Collectively, dietary Ile improved growth performance and immunological and physical barrier function of intestine in hybrid catfish.

Abstract
The effects of a single oral dose of 1.82 mg kg-1 bw of T-2 and HT-2 toxin (T-2), 1.75 mg kg-1 bw deoxynivalenol (DON) and 15-acetyl DON, 1.96 mg kg-1 bw fumonisin B1 (FB1) or 1.85 mg kg-1 bw ochratoxin A (OTA) were investigated in common carp juveniles on lipid peroxidation, the parameters of the glutathione redox system including the expression of their encoding genes in a short-term (24 h) experiment. Markers of the initiation phase of lipid peroxidation, conjugated dienes, and trienes, were slightly affected by DON and OTA treatment at 16-h sampling. The termination marker, malondialdehyde, concentration increased only as an effect of FB1. Glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase activity showed significantly higher levels in the T-2 and FB1 groups at 8 h, and in the DON and FB1 groups at 16 h. The expression of glutathione peroxidase genes (gpx4a, gpx4b) showed a dual response. Downregulation of gpxa was observed at 8 h, as the effect of DON, FB1, and OTA, but an upregulation in the T-2 group. At 16 h gpx4a upregulated as an effect of DON, T-2, and FB1, and at 24 h in the DON and T-2 groups. Expression of gpx4b downregulated at 8 h, except in the T-2 group, and upregulation observed as an effect of T-2 at 24 h. The lack of an increase in the expression of nrf2, except as the effect of DON at 8 h, and a decrease in the keap1 expression suggests that the antioxidant defence system was activated at gene and protein levels through Keap1-Nrf2 independent pathways.

Abstract
The study investigated the effects of dietary isoleucine (Ile) on skin mucus barrier and epithelial physical barrier functions of hybrid bagrid catfish Pelteobagrus vachelli × Leiocassis longirostris. A total of 630 fish (33.11 ± 0.09 g) were fed semi-purified isonitrogenous diets containing 5.0 (control), 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, and 20.0 g Ile kg -1 diet for 8 weeks. The results indicated that dietary Ile increased (P < 0.05) in skin (1) mucus protein content and antimicrobial activity against three gram-negative bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli, and Yersinia ruckeri) and two gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus), (2) mucus lysofew information is available about the influencezyme (LZM), acid phosphatase (ACP), and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities, and complement 3 and 4 (C3 and C4) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) contents, (3) intelectin 1 (intl1), intelectin 2 (intl2), c-type-lysozyme (c-LZM), g-type-lysozyme (g-LZM), and β-defensin mRNA levels. Dietary Ile decreased (P < 0.05) reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonyl (PC) contents, and up-regulated (P < 0.05) CuZnSOD, GST, GPX1a, muc5ac, muc5b, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), zonula occludens-2 (ZO-2), occludin, and claudin 3 mRNA levels in skin. These results indicated that Ile improved skin mucus barrier function via increasing mucus protein, C3 and C4, and IgM contents and antibacterial factors activities, and promoted epithelial physical barrier function via decreasing skin antioxidant damage and improving tight junction structure in hybrid bagrid catfish.

Integrated biomarker parameters response to the toxic effects of high stocking density, CuSO 4, and trichlorfon on fish and protective role mediated by Angelica sinensis extract. FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2020; 46:1679-1698. [PMID: 32557080 DOI: 10.1007/s10695-020-00821-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The present study explored the protective role of dietary the extract of Angelica sinensis (EAs) on high density, CuSO4, or trichlorfon-treated Crucian carp (Carassius auratus auratus). Firstly, the study showed that the optimum density for growth and growth inhibition was 0.49 and 0.98 fish L-1 water, respectively. Dietary EAs relieved the high density-induced growth inhibition in Crucian carp. The appropriate concentration of EAs for recovery of growth was estimated to be 4.30 g kg-1 diet in high-density fish. Moreover, high density decreased both digestive and absorptive enzyme activities and increased lipid oxidation in digestive organs, suggesting the ability of high density to induce oxidative damage. However, dietary EAs inhibited the oxidative damage through elevating ROS scavenging ability and enzymatic antioxidant activity in digestive organs. Secondly, our data demonstrated that the appropriate concentration of CuSO4 to induce the decrease in feed intake (FI) was 0.8 mg Cu L-1 water. Dietary EAs returned to FI of Crucian carp treated with CuSO4. The appropriate concentration of EAs for recovery of FI was estimated to be 4.25 g kg-1 diet. Moreover, dietary EAs suppressed the CuSO4-induced decrease in digestion and absorption capacity and increase in protein metabolism in digestive organs of Crucian carp. Finally, the present results suggested that dietary EAs inhibited the trichlorfon-induced rollover (loss of equilibrium) in Crucian carp. The appropriate concentration of EAs for inhibition of rollover was estimated to be 4.18 g kg-1 diet. Moreover, trichlorfon stimulated not only the decrease in energy metabolism but also lipid and protein oxidation, suggesting that trichlorfon caused loss of function and oxidative damage in muscles of fish. However, dietary EAs improved muscular function and inhibited oxidative damage via quenching ROS and elevating non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant activity in muscles of trichlorfon-induced fish. So, EAs could be used as an inhibitor of high density, CuSO4, and trichlorfon stress in fish.

Abstract
The present study explored effects of L-glutamate (Glu) levels on growth, digestive and absorptive capability, and intestinal physical barrier functions of Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of 600 Jian carp (126.40 ± 0.21 g) were randomly distributed into 5 groups with 3 replicates each, fed diets containing graded levels of Glu (53.4 [control], 57.2, 60.6, 68.4, and 83.4 g/kg) for 63 d. Results showed compared with control diet, feed intake and percent weight gain (PWG) in fish fed 83.4 g of Glu/kg diet were increased and feed conversion ratio in fish fed 68.4 g of Glu/kg diet was decreased (P < 0.05). Similarly, body crude protein and lipid contents in fish fed 68.4 g of Glu/kg diet were higher (P < 0.05). The activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin in the hepatopancreas and intestine, and amylase, alkaline phosphatase (AKP), Na+, K+-ATPase (NKA), and creatine kinase (CK) in intestine were higher in fish fed 68.4 g of Glu/kg diet (P < 0.05). Dietary Glu (57.2 to 83.4 g/kg diet) decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl (PCO) contents in the intestine (P < 0.05). The activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) in the hepatopancreas and intestine were higher in fish fed 60.6 and 68.4 g of Glu/kg diets (P < 0.05). Intestinal the glutathione reductase (GR) activity and glutathione (GSH) content in fish fed 60.6, 68.4, and 83.4 g of Glu/kg diet were increased (P < 0.05). The GPx1a, GST, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA expressions in the intestine were up-regulated in fish fed 60.6 and 68.4 g of Glu/kg diet (P < 0.05). The zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1), occludin1, and claudin3 mRNA expressions were also up-regulated in fish fed 83.4 g of Glu/kg diet (P < 0.05). Fish fed 68.4 g of Glu/kg diet had higher levels of claudin 2, claudin7, and protein kinase C (PKC) mRNA (P < 0.05). These results indicated that Glu improved fish growth, digestive and absorptive ability, and intestinal physical barrier functions. Based on the quadratic regression analysis of PWG, and MDA of the hepatopancreas and intestine, the optimal dietary Glu levels were estimated to be 81.97, 71.06, and 71.36 g/kg diet, respectively.

Abstract
Glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) comprise a large proportion of total amino acids (AAs) in fish in the free and protein-bound forms. Both Glu and Gln are synthesized de novo from other α-amino acids and ammonia. Although these two AAs had long been considered as nutritionally non-essential AAs for an aquatic animal, they must be included adequately in its diet to support optimal health (particularly intestinal health) and maximal growth. In research on fish nutrition, Glu has been used frequently as an isonitrogenous control on the basis of the assumption that this AA has no nutritional or physiological function. In addition, purified diets used for feeding fish generally lack glutamine. As functional AAs, Glu and Gln are major metabolic fuels for tissues of fish (including the intestine, liver, kidneys, and skeletal muscle), and play important roles not only in protein synthesis but also in glutathione synthesis and anti-oxidative reactions. The universality of Glu and Gln as abundant intracellular AAs depends on their enormous versatility in metabolism. Dietary supplementation with Glu and Gln to farmed fish can improve their growth performance, intestinal development, innate and adaptive immune responses, skeletal muscle development and fillet quality, ammonia removal, and the endocrine status. Glu (mainly as monosodium glutamate), glutamine, or AminoGut (a mixture of Glu and Gln) is a promising feed additive to reduce the use of fishmeal, while gaining the profitability of global aquaculture production. Thus, the concept of dietary requirements of fish for Glu and Gln is a paradigm shift in the nutrition of aquatic animals (including fish).

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the short-term effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1 ) and deoxynivalenol (DON) exposure on the expression of the genes encoding the glutathione redox system glutathione peroxidase 4a (gpx4a), glutathione peroxidase 4b (gpx4b), glutathione synthetase (gss) and glutathione reductase (gsr) and the oxidative stress response-related transcription factors Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (keap1) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (nrf2) in liver, kidney and spleen of common carp. During the 24-hr long experiment, three different doses (5 µg AFB1 and 110 µg DON; 7.5 µg AFB1 and 165 µg DON or 10 µg AFB1 and 220 µg DON/kg bw) were used. The results indicated that the co-exposure of AFB1 and DON initiated free radical formation in liver, kidney and spleen, which was suggested by the increase in Nrf2 dependent genes, namely gpx4a, gpx4b, gss and gsr. Expression of keap1 gene showed upregulation after 8 hr of mycotoxin exposure, and also upregulation of nrf2 gene was found in kidney after 8 hr of exposure, while in the liver, only slight differences were observed. The changes in the expression of the analysed genes suggest that level of reactive oxygen species reached a critical level where other signalling pathway was activated as described by the hierarchical model of oxidative stress.

Abstract
We have developed a novel thermal hydrolysis process (THP) to extract and hydrolyze keratin from keratinous animal body wastes without using any chemicals. Our process consists of two heating steps: one is to swell and denature the keratin protein network in the intermediate filaments, while the other is to cleavage the disulfide bonds that connect the tight keratinous fibrils together. Using hog hair as an example, the two-step process achieved a nearly 70% keratin recovery yield, with respect to the original keratin in the hog hair, which is comparable to one of the best recovery yields by conventional chemical processes. The extracted keratin hydrolysate by THP was filtered by the shear wave-induced membrane ultrafiltation for characterization. The molecular weight (MW) analysis using SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy has demonstrated that our keratin hydrolysis obtained by our two-step THP has a wide range of MW distribution, similar to those already in the hair-care product market. The amino acid composition analysis has shown that our keratin hydrolysate by THP had twice as much essential amino acids as soybean meals on a dry mattter basis. As to the cysteine residue content, we have shown that it can be controlled by adjusting the 2nd heating temperature.

Abstract
The 56-day feeding trial was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary tryptophan (Trp) on growth performance, digestive and absorptive enzyme activities, intestinal antioxidant capacity, and appetite and GH-IGF axis-related genes expression of hybrid catfish (Pelteobagrus vachelli♀ × Leiocassis longirostris♂). A total of 864 hybrid catfish (21.82 ± 0.14 g) were fed six different experimental diets containing graded levels of Trp at 2.6, 3.1, 3.7, 4.2, 4.7, and 5.6 g kg-1 diet. The results indicated that dietary Trp increased (P < 0.05) (1) final body weight, percent weight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake, feed efficiency, and protein efficiency ratio; (2) fish body protein, lipid and ash contents, protein, and ash production values; (3) stomach weight, stomach somatic index, liver weight, intestinal weight, length and somatic index, and relative gut length; and (4) activities of pepsin in the stomach; trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, and amylase in the pancreas and intestine; and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, Na+, K+-ATPase, and alkaline phosphatase in the intestine. Dietary Trp decreased malondialdehyde content, increased antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione content, but downregulated Keap1 mRNA expression, and upregulated the expression of NPY, ghrelin, GH, GHR, IGF1, IGF2, IGF1R, PIK3Ca, AKT1, TOR, 4EBP1, and S6K1 genes. These results indicated that Trp improved hybrid catfish growth performance, digestive and absorptive ability, antioxidant status, and appetite and GH-IGF axis-related gene expression. Based on the quadratic regression analysis of PWG, SGR, and FI, the dietary Trp requirement of hybrid catfish (21.82-39.64 g) was recommended between 3.96 and 4.08 g kg-1 diet (9.4-9.7 g kg-1 of dietary protein).

Abstract
Dietary arginine (Arg) could improve the intestinal structure and absorption of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus); however, the mechanism of Arg on intestinal morphology improvement was unclear. The present study aimed to explain the possible mechanism of the positive effect of Arg on intestinal epithelial cells of grass carp. An in vitro study was conducted through a primary culture model to assess the growth, cell viability, mRNA expressions of TOR signal pathway, and tight junction proteins of enterocytes after culture in the medium with 6 levels of Arg (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mmol/L). The results showed that 0.5 mmol/L Arg improved the cell number and decreased the lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase activities in culture medium (P < 0.05). The alkaline phosphatase activity in cell lysis buffer was depressed by 1 and 2 mmol/L Arg (P < 0.05). The nitric oxide (NO) content showed an increasing trend with the Arg content (P < 0.05), whereas the NO synthase activity showed an opposite trend to NO. TOR expression was higher in 0.2 and 0.5 mmol/L groups, whereas S6K1 expression in 1.0 mmol/L and 2.0 mmol/L groups were lower (P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of occludin, claudin 3, and claudin c in 0.5 mmol/L group were the highest, while ZO-1 and claudin b expressions were higher in 0.2 and 0.5 mmol/L groups (P < 0.05). This study indicated that Arg enhanced the growth and integrity of intestinal epithelial cells of grass carp through upregulation of mRNA expression of TOR signal pathway and tight junction proteins at an optimal Arg content of 0.2-0.5 mmol/L.

Abstract
Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter involved in neural function. Excess accumulation of intercellular glutamate leads to increasing concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in neuronal cells. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant activity of several typical superior compounds among four neuronal cells, and determined the scavenging activity of free radicals. The in vivo assay was also carried out to compare the protective effect of glutamate-induced cell damage. Hierarchical clustering analysis was used to identify the common properties. Glutamate induced neurotoxicity and ROS production, suggesting glutamate cytotoxicity was related to oxidative stress and widely exists in different cell lines. Those screening compounds exhibited strong antioxidant ability, but low cytotoxicity to neuronal cells, acting as agents against neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, a hierarchical clustering analysis assay indicated that hyperoside and rutin hydrate are the most effective compounds for attenuating intercellular ROS levels. The results suggested the activity more or less relies on structure, rather than residues. These data generate new supporting ideas to remove intracellular ROS and the identified compounds serve as potential therapeutic agents in multiple neurological diseases.

Abstract
The present study explored the possible preventive effects of dietary glutamate (Glu) on LPS-induced oxidative damage, mRNA expression changes of tight junction (TJ) and defensin proteins, inflammatory and apoptosis response signaling molecules in fish intestine. Young Jian carp were fed five diets supplemental graded levels of Glu (0, 4, 8, 16 and 32 g kg-1 diet) for 63 days. The results indicated that Glu supplementation depressed LPS induced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and severe oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation) in fish intestine, which was partially due to the increased glutathione (GSH) content and antioxidant enzyme activities including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and glutathione reductase (GR) (P < 0.05). Further investigations indicated that Glu supplementation caused elevation of those antioxidant enzyme activities are related to the up-regulation of corresponding antioxidant enzymes and the related signaling factor Nrf2 mRNA levels (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, Glu pre-treatment significantly suppressed LPS-induced COX-2 and inflammatory cytokines mRNA expression and down-regulated NF-κB p65 and MAPK p38 transcription. Furthermore, pre-treatment with Glu prevented LPS induced apoptosis-related gene expression (caspase 3 and 9, P < 0.05). Lastly, Glu supplementation also attenuated LPS induced intestinal barrier function-related gene TJ proteins (ZO-1, occludin1, claudin2, 3, and 7), β-defensin1 and 3 mRNA expressions decreasing (P < 0.05). Taken together, the present results showed Glu could attenuate LPS induced the oxidative damage by Nrf2 signal pathway and depress LPS induced inflammation response (cytokines, COX-2, NF-κB p65, and MAPK p38), apoptosis (caspase3 and 9), and barrier function (ZO-1, occludin1, claudin2, 3 and 7, and β-defensin 1 and 3)-related gene expression changes of fish intestine.

Mahanty A, Mohanty S, Mohanty BP. Dietary supplementation of curcumin augments heat stress tolerance through upregulation of nrf-2-mediated antioxidative enzymes and hsps in Puntius sophore. FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2017; 43:1131-1141.

Abstract
Heat stress is one of the major environmental concerns in global warming regime and rising temperature has resulted in mass mortalities of animals including fishes. Therefore, strategies for high temperature stress tolerance and ameliorating the effects of heat stress are being looked for. In an earlier study, we reported that Nrf-2 (nuclear factor E2-related factor 2) mediated upregulation of antioxidative enzymes and heat shock proteins (Hsps) provide survivability to fish under heat stress. In this study, we have evaluated the ameliorative potential of dietary curcumin, a potential Nrf-2 inducer in heat stressed cyprinid Puntius sophore. Fishes were fed with diet supplemented with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% curcumin at the rate 2% of body weight daily in three separate groups (n = 40 in each group) for 60 days. Fishes fed with basal diet (without curcumin) served as the control (n = 40). Critical thermal maxima (CTmax) was determined for all the groups (n = 10, in duplicates) after the feeding trial. Significant increase in the CTmax was observed in the group fed with 1.5% curcumin- supplemented fishes whereas it remained similar in groups fed with 0.5%, and 1% curcumin-supplemented diet, as compared to control. To understand the molecular mechanism of elevated thermotolerance in the 1.5% curcumin supplemented group, fishes were given a sub-lethal heat shock treatment (36 °C) for 6 h and expression analysis of nrf-2, keap-1, sod, catalase, gpx, and hsp27, hsp60, hsp70, hsp90, and hsp110 was carried out using RT-PCR. In the gill, expression of nrf-2, sod, catalase, gpx, and hsp60, hsp70, hsp90, and hsp110 was found to be elevated in the 1.5% curcumin-fed heat-shocked group compared to control and the basal diet-fed, heat-shocked fishes. Similarly, in the liver, upregulation in expression of nrf-2, sod, catalase, and hsp70 and hsp110 was observed in 1.5% curcumin supplemented and heat shocked group. Thus, this study showed that supplementation of curcumin augments tolerance to high temperature stress in P. sophore that could be attributed to nrf-2-induced upregulation of antioxidative enzymes sod, catalase, gpx, and the hsps.

Glutamate ameliorates copper-induced oxidative injury by regulating antioxidant defences in fish intestine. Br J Nutr 2016; 116:70-9.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine the protective effect of glutamate (Glu) in Cu-induced oxidative injury in fish intestine in vivo and enterocytes in vitro. The results indicated that exposure to 6 mg/l Cu for 72 h induced the production of reactive oxygen species, thereby increasing protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation in enterocytes of grass carp in vitro. Cells exposed to Cu alone resulted in a significant increase in lactate dehydrogenase release, which is accompanied by depletions of antioxidants, including total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), anti-superoxide anion (ASA), anti-hydroxy radical (AHR) activities and GSH content. Pre-treatment with Glu remarkably prevented the toxic effects of Cu on the T-SOD, GST, GR, AHR, and ASA activities and GSH content in enterocytes. However, Cu induced an adaptive increase in the activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Glu supplementation further increased GPx activity in enterocytes. Interestingly, the experiment in vivo showed that Glu pre-supplementation significantly elevated SOD, GPx, GST, GR, ASA and AHR activities, as well as GSH content. Further results showed that pre-treatment with Glu could alleviate Cu-induced oxidative injury by elevating antioxidant enzyme activities through regulating the expression of NF-E2-related nuclear factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA. Together, these results indicated that Glu could attenuate Cu-induced cellular oxidative damage in fish intestine, likely mediated through Nrf2 signalling pathways regulating mRNA expressions of antioxidant enzyme genes and synthesis of GSH.
