Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of chronic heat stress (HS) on the chemical composition, oxidative stability, muscle metabolism, and meat quality of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Compared with the control (26 °C), chronic HS (32 °C) lowered growth performance, the contents of whole-body lipid, muscle protein, and muscle lipid. Also, HS significantly increased the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased antioxidative status, causing a decline in meat quality, including increased lipid and protein oxidation, the centrifugal water loss, and cooking loss as well as decreased the fragmentation index and pH at 24 h, which may be attributed to induced apoptosis by excessive ROS in Nile tilapia meat. Moreover, metabolomic analysis showed HS lowered flavor and nutritional value by affecting amino acid, lipid, and nucleotide metabolism. These results reveal that HS adversely affects oxidative stability, meat quality, flavor, and nutrition, warranting its recognition and prevention.

[PMID: 36117193 PMCID: PMC9484139 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-022-00759-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Chronic heat stress has a negative impact on poultry meat quality. Although this has been extensively investigated, previous studies have primarily focused on metabolic alterations and oxidative stress in the pectoralis major (PM) muscle under chronic heat stress, and not all of the underlying molecular mechanisms are completely understood.
Methods
A total of 144 male Arbor Acres broilers (28 d old) were randomly allocated into 3 treatment groups: (1) the normal control (NC) group, with broilers raised at 22 °C and fed a basal diet; (2) the heat stress (HS) group, with birds raised at 32 °C and fed a basal diet; and (3) the pair-fed (PF) group, with birds raised at 22 °C and fed the amount of feed equal to the feed consumed on the previous day by the HS group. The experiment lasted for 14 d.
Results
Chronic heat stress decreased the average daily feed intake and average daily gain, increased feed:gain ratio (P < 0.05); and increased drip loss, cooking loss, shear force, hardness, and decreased pH, redness (a*); and springiness of PM muscle (P < 0.05). Furthermore, chronic heat stress decreased muscle fiber density, increased connective tissue, and led to intracellular vacuolation. The transcriptome analyses indicated that the effect of chronic heat stress on meat quality was not only related to metabolism and oxidative stress, but also to signal transduction, immune system, transport and catabolism, cell growth and death, and muscle structure.
Conclusions
Chronic heat stress has a negative impact on the growth performance, meat quality, and the PM muscle structure of broilers. Transcriptome analysis revealed a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of the chronic heat stress-induced deterioration of broiler meat quality at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Severe heat exposure causes mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction, which contribute to the pathogenesis of heat-related illness. L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid and has been suggested to influence heat shock responses. This study aimed to test whether L-citrulline supplementation would preserve mitochondrial integrity and attenuate heat-induced skeletal muscle injury, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. At 37°C, L-citrulline (2 mM) increased mitochondrial elongation in mouse C2C12 myoblasts, a process associated with a reduction in mitochondrial fission protein Drp1 levels. Mechanistic studies revealed that L-citrulline increased cellular nitric oxide (NO) levels, but not S-nitrosylation of Drp1. L-citrulline caused a decrease in phosphorylation of Drp1 at Ser 616 and an increase in phosphorylation of Drp1 at Ser 637, which resulted in a reduced mitochondrial localization of Drp1. L-NAME, a non-selective NO synthase inhibitor, abolished the increase in L-citrulline-induced NO levels and inhibited Drp1 phosphorylation changes and mitochondrial elongation, which indicates involvement of a NO-dependent pathway. Under 43°C heat stress conditions, L-citrulline prevented translocation of Drp1 to mitochondria, mitochondrial fragmentation and decreased membrane potential. Finally, L-citrulline pretreatment inhibited heat-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, caspase 3/7 activation, apoptotic cell death, and improved cell viability. NO inhibitor L-NAME abolished all the above protective effects of L-citrulline under heat stress. Our results suggest that L-citrulline prevents heat-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cell injury through NO-mediated Drp1 inhibition in C2C12 myoblasts. L-citrulline may be an effective treatment for heat-related illnesses and other mitochondrial diseases.

Insights into molecular pathways and fatty acid membrane composition during the temperature stress response in the murine C2C12 cell model. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 807:151019.

Abstract
Daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations are inevitable due to climate change, which highlights the importance of studying the detrimental effects of temperature fluctuations on the health, productivity, and product quality of farm animals. Muscle membrane composition and the molecular signals are vital for muscle cell differentiation and muscle growth, but their response to temperature stress is not well characterized. Temperature changes can lead to modification of membrane components of the cell, which may affect its surroundings and intracellular signaling pathways. Using C2C12 myoblast cells as a model of skeletal muscle development, this study was designed to investigate the effects of high temperature (39 °C and 41 °C) and low temperature (35 °C) on molecular pathways in the cells as well as the cell membrane fatty acid composition. Our results show that several genes were differentially expressed in C2C12 cells cultured under heat or cold stress, and these genes were enriched important KEGG pathways including PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, lysosome and HIF- signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway and AMPK signaling pathway. Our analysis further reveals that several membrane transporters and genes involved in lipid metabolism and fatty acid elongation were also differentially expressed in C2C12 cells cultured under high or low temperature. Additionally, temperature stress shifts the fatty acid composition in the cell membranes, including the proportion of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. This study revealed an interference between fatty acid composition in the membranes and changing molecular pathways including lipid metabolism and fatty acids elongation mediated under thermal stress. These findings will reinforce a better understanding of the adaptive mechanisms in skeletal muscle under temperature stress.

Protective effects of dietary curcumin and astaxanthin against heat-induced ROS production and skeletal muscle injury in male and female C57BL/6J mice. Life Sci 2022; 288:120160. [PMID: 34801514 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 11/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to: 1) investigate sex differences in heat-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS production, and skeletal muscle injury in mice; 2) evaluate whether curcumin and astaxanthin, alone or together, would prevent those heat-induced changes. MAIN METHODS Male and female C57BL/6J mice were treated with curcumin and astaxanthin for 10 days, then exposed to 39.5 °C heat for up to 3 h. Heat-induced hyperthermia, changes in mitochondrial morphology and function, and oxidative damage to skeletal muscle were evaluated. KEY FINDINGS Although female mice had a slightly higher basal core body temperature (Tc) than male mice, peak Tc during heat exposure was significantly lower in females than in males. Heat increased ROS levels in skeletal muscle in both sexes; interestingly, the increases in ROS were greater in females than in males. Despite the above-mentioned differences, heat induced similar levels of mitochondrial fragmentation and membrane potential depolarization, caspase 3/7 activation, and injury in male and female skeletal muscle. Individual treatment of curcumin or astaxanthin did not affect basal and peak Tc but prevented heat-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS increases, and apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, a low-dose combination of curcumin and astaxanthin, which individually showed no effect, reduced the heat-induced oxidative damage to skeletal muscle. SIGNIFICANCE Both male and female mice can develop mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in skeletal muscle when exposed to heat stress. High doses of either curcumin or astaxanthin limit heat-induced skeletal muscle injury, but a low-dose combination of these ingredients may increase their efficacy.

Telomere Length and Regulatory Genes as Novel Stress Biomarkers and Their Diversities in Broiler Chickens ( Gallus gallus domesticus) Subjected to Corticosterone Feeding. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11102759.

Abstract
Simple Summary Assessment of poultry welfare is very crucial for sustainable production in the tropics. There is a demand for alternatives to plasma corticosterone levels as they have received much criticism as an unsuitable predictor of animal welfare due to inconsistency. In this study, we noticed no effect of age on plasma corticosterone (CORT) although it was altered by CORT treatment. However, growth performances and organ weight were affected by CORT treatment and age. The broad sense evaluation of telomere length in this study revealed that telomere length in the blood, muscle, liver and heart was shortened by chronic stress induced by corticosterone administration. The expression profile of the telomere regulatory genes was altered by chronic stress. This study informed us of the potential of telomere length and its regulatory genes in the assessment of animal welfare in the poultry sector for sustainable production. Abstract This study was designed to characterize telomere length and its regulatory genes and to evaluate their potential as well-being biomarkers. Chickens were fed a diet containing corticosterone (CORT) for 4 weeks and performances, organ weight, plasma CORT levels, telomere lengths and regulatory genes were measured and recorded. Body weights of CORT-fed chickens were significantly suppressed (p < 0.05), and organ weights and circulating CORT plasma levels (p < 0.05) were altered. Interaction effect of CORT and duration was significant (p < 0.05) on heart and liver telomere length. CORT significantly (p < 0.05) shortened the telomere length of the whole blood, muscle, liver and heart. The TRF1, chTERT, TELO2 and HSF1 were significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated in the liver and heart at week 4 although these genes and TERRA were downregulated in the muscles at weeks 2 and 4. Therefore, telomere lengths and their regulators are associated and diverse, so they can be used as novel biomarkers of stress in broiler chickens fed with CORT.
