Liu S, Yu Q, Liu J, Wang H, Wang X, Qin C, Li E, Qin J, Chen L. The interaction between lipid and vitamin D 3 impacts lipid metabolism and innate immunity in Chinese mitten crabs Eriocheir sinensis. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 147:109455. [PMID: 38369072 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin D3 relies on fat to perform its biological function, affecting lipid metabolism and innate immunity. This study used different percentages of lipid and vitamin D3 diets to evaluate the synergistic effects on the growth, lipid metabolism and immunity of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis (5.83 ± 0.01 g) for 56 days, including low lipid (LL, 1.5%) and normal lipid (NL, 7.5%) and three levels of vitamin D3: low (LVD, 0 IU/kg), medium (MVD, 9000 IU/kg) and high (HVD, 27,000, IU/kg). The synergistic effect of lipid and vitamin D3 was not significant on growth but significant on ash content, total protein, hepatopancreas lipid content, hemolymph 1α,25-hydroxy vitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] content, hepatopancreas lipolysis and synthesis genes. Crabs fed normal lipid (7.5%) and medium vitamin D3 (9000 IU/kg) had the highest hepatopancreas index, hemolymph 1α,25(OH)2D3 content, antibacterial ability, immune-related genes and hepatopancreatic lipid synthesis genes expression, but down-regulated the lipolysis genes expression. In contrast, crabs fed diets with low lipid percentage (1.5%) had low growth performance, hemolymph 1α,25(OH)2D3, mRNA levels of lipid synthesis genes, antibacterial ability and immune-related gene expression. At the 1.5% lipid level, excessive or insufficient vitamin D3 supplementation led to the obstruction of ash and protein deposition, reduced growth and molting, aggravated the reduction in antioxidant capacity, hindered antimicrobial peptide gene expression and reduced innate immunity, and resulted in abnormal lipid accumulation and the risk of oxidative stress. This study suggests that diets' lipid and vitamin D3 percentage can enhance antioxidant capacity, lipid metabolism and innate immunity in E. sinensis. A low lipid diet can cause growth retardation, reduce antioxidant capacity and innate immunity, and enhance lipid metabolism disorder.

Abstract
Several nutrients are crucial in enhancing the immune system and preserving the structural integrity of bodily tissue barriers. Vitamin D (VD) and zinc (Zn) have received considerable interest due to their immunomodulatory properties and ability to enhance the body's immune defenses. Due to their antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and immunomodulatory properties, the two nutritional powerhouses VD and Zn are crucial for innate and adaptive immunity. As observed with COVID-19, deficiencies in these micronutrients impair immune responses, increasing susceptibility to viral infections and severe disease. Ensuring an adequate intake of VD and Zn emerges as a promising strategy for fortifying the immune system. Ongoing clinical trials are actively investigating their potential therapeutic advantages. Beyond the immediate context of the pandemic, these micronutrients offer valuable tools for enhancing immunity and overall well-being, especially in the face of future viral threats. This analysis emphasizes the enduring significance of VD and Zn as both treatment and preventive measures against potential viral challenges beyond the current health crisis. The overview delves into the immunomodulatory potential of VD and Zn in combating viral infections, with particular attention to their effects on animals. It provides a comprehensive summary of current research findings regarding their individual and synergistic impacts on immune function, underlining their potential in treating and preventing viral infections. Overall, this overview underscores the need for further research to understand how VD and Zn can modulate the immune response in combatting viral diseases in animals.

Vitamin D ameliorates Aeromonas hydrophila-induced iron-dependent oxidative damage of grass carp splenic macrophages by manipulating Nrf2-mediated antioxidant pathway. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 142:109145. [PMID: 37805110 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) is one of major pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture and potentially virulent to grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). As an essential nutrient for fish, vitamin D3 (VD3) has been reported to play a role against oxidative stress, but the exact mechanism remains to be elusive. In this study, we found that A. hydrophila induced ferrugination and macrophage aggregation in the spleen of grass carp. Along this line, using the splenic macrophages as the model, the effects of VD3 on A. hydrophila-caused iron deposition and subsequent injuries were determined. In the context, 1,25D3 (the active form of VD3) significantly reduced cellular free Fe2+, lipid peroxidation and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release induced by A. hydrophila in the splenic macrophages, indicating the protective effects of VD3 on A. hydrophila-led to ferroptosis-related injuries. In support of this notion, 1,25D3 was effective in hindering ferroptosis inducers-stimulated LDH release in the same cells. Mechanically, 1,25D3 enhanced iron export protein (ferroportin1) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protein levels, and glutathione (GSH) contents via vitamin D receptor (VDR). Moreover, NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway mediated the regulation of 1,25D3 on GPX4 protein expression and GSH synthesis. Meanwhile, 1,25D3 maintained the stability of Nrf2 proteins possibly by attenuating its ubiquitination degradation. Furthermore, in vivo experiments showed that 1,25D3 injection could not only improve the survival of fish infected by A. hydrophila, but also enhance GSH amounts and decrease malonaldehyde (MDA) contents and iron deposition in the spleen. In summary, our data for the first time suggest that VD3 is a potential antioxidant in fish to fight against A. hydrophila induced-ferroptotic damages.

Vitamin D Promotes Mucosal Barrier System of Fish Skin Infected with Aeromonas hydrophila through Multiple Modulation of Physical and Immune Protective Capacity. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11243. [PMID: 37511003 PMCID: PMC10379486 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The vertebrate mucosal barrier comprises physical and immune elements, as well as bioactive molecules, that protect organisms from pathogens. Vitamin D is a vital nutrient for animals and is involved in immune responses against invading pathogens. However, the effect of vitamin D on the mucosal barrier system of fish, particularly in the skin, remains unclear. Here, we elucidated the effect of vitamin D supplementation (15.2, 364.3, 782.5, 1167.9, 1573.8, and 1980.1 IU/kg) on the mucosal barrier system in the skin of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. Dietary vitamin D supplementation (1) alleviated A. hydrophila-induced skin lesions and inhibited oxidative damage by reducing levels of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and protein carbonyl; (2) improved the activities and transcription levels of antioxidant-related parameters and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 signaling; (3) attenuated cell apoptosis by decreasing the mRNA and protein levels of apoptosis factors involved death receptor and mitochondrial pathway processes related to p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling; (4) improved tight junction protein expression by inhibiting myosin light-chain kinase signaling; and (5) enhanced immune barrier function by promoting antibacterial compound and immunoglobulin production, downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and upregulating anti-inflammatory cytokines expression, which was correlated with nuclear factor kappa B and the target of rapamycin signaling pathways. Vitamin D intervention for mucosal barrier via multiple signaling correlated with vitamin D receptor a. Overall, these results indicate that vitamin D supplementation enhanced the skin mucosal barrier system against pathogen infection, improving the physical and immune barriers in fish. This finding highlights the viability of vitamin D in supporting sustainable aquaculture.

Abstract
Vitamin D (VD) plays a vital role in various physiological processes in addition to its classic functions on maintaining the balance of Ca and P metabolism. However, there still are gaps to understand in depth the issues on the precise requirement, metabolic processes and physiological functions of VD in fish. In this study, we investigated the effects of VD on the growth, intestinal health, host immunity and metabolism in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.), one important commercial carnivorous fish in aquaculture, through the supplementation of different doses of dietary VD3 (0, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 μg VD3/kg diet). According to our results, the optimal VD3 level in the feed for turbot growth was estimated to be around 400 IU/kg, whereas VD3 deficiency or overdose in diets induced the intestinal inflammation, lowered the diversity of gut microbiota and impaired the host resistance to bacterial infection in turbot. Moreover, the level of 1α,25(OH)2D3, the active metabolite of VD3, reached a peak value in the turbot serum in the 400 μg group, although the concentrations of Ca and phosphate in the turbot were stable in all groups. Finally, the deficiency of dietary VD3 disturbed the nutritional metabolism in turbot, especially the metabolism of lipids and glucose. In conclusion, this study evaluated the optimal dose of dietary VD3 for turbot and provided the evidence that VD has a significant impact on intestinal health, host immunity and nutritional metabolism in fish, which deepened our understanding on the physiological functions and metabolism of VD3 in fish.

Abstract
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin D3 supplementation on the growth performance, tissue Ca and P concentrations, antioxidant capacity, immune response and lipid metabolism in Litopenaeus vannamei larvae. A total of 720 shrimp (initial weight 0·50 ± 0·01 g) were randomly distributed into six treatments, each of which had three duplicates of forty shrimp per duplicate. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to contain graded vitamin D3 (0·18, 0·23, 0·27, 0·48, 0·57 and 0·98 mg/kg of vitamin D3, measured) supplementation levels. The results revealed that L. vannamei fed diet containing 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 achieved the best growth performance. Compared with the control group, supplementing 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 significantly increased (P < 0·05) the activities of catalase, total antioxidative capacity, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in serum and hepatopancreas. Expression levels of antioxidant and immune-related genes were synchronously increased (P < 0·05). Carapace P and Ca concentrations were increased (P < 0·05) with the increased vitamin D3 supplementation levels. Further analysis of lipid metabolism-related genes expression showed that shrimp fed 0·48 mg of vitamin D3 per kg diet showed the highest value in the expression of lipid synthesis-related genes, while shrimp fed 0·98 mg of vitamin D3 per kg diet showed the highest value in the expression of lipolysis-related genes. In conclusion, the results of present study indicated that dietary supplementation of 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 could increase Ca and P concentrations, improve antioxidant capacity and immune response, and influence lipid metabolism in L. vannamei.

IFP35 Is a Relevant Factor in Innate Immunity, Multiple Sclerosis, and Other Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: A Review. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10121325.

Abstract
Simple Summary In this review, we focused on the emerging role of IFP35, a highly conserved leucine zipper protein from fish to humans, with a still unknown biological function. The considered literature indicates this protein as a key-pleiotropic factor reflecting JAK-STAT and DAMPs pathways activation in innate immunity-dependent inflammation, as well as in the physiology and general pathology of a wide range of phylogenetically distant organisms. These findings also indicate IFP35 as a biologically relevant molecule in human demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, including Multiple Sclerosis, and other organ-specific chronic inflammatory disorders. Abstract Discovered in 1993 by Bange et al., the 35-kDa interferon-induced protein (IFP35) is a highly conserved cytosolic interferon-induced leucine zipper protein with a 17q12-21 coding gene and unknown function. Belonging to interferon stimulated genes (ISG), the IFP35 reflects the type I interferon (IFN) activity induced through the JAK-STAT phosphorylation, and it can homodimerize with N-myc-interactor (NMI) and basic leucine zipper transcription factor (BATF), resulting in nuclear translocation and a functional expression. Casein kinase 2-interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1), retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), and laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 Epinephelus coioides (EcLGP2) are thought to regulate IFP35, via the innate immunity pathway. Several in vitro and in vivo studies on fish and mammals have confirmed the IFP35 as an ISG factor with antiviral and antiproliferative functions. However, in a mice model of sepsis, IFP35 was found working as a damage associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule, which enhances inflammation by acting in the innate immune-mediated way. In human pathology, the IFP35 expression level predicts disease outcome and response to therapy in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), reflecting IFN activity. Specifically, IFP35 was upregulated in Lupus Nephritis (LN), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and untreated MS. However, it normalized in the MS patients undergoing therapy. The considered data indicate IFP35 as a pleiotropic factor, suggesting it as biologically relevant in the innate immunity, general pathology, and human demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Vitamin D3 (vit-D3), as an indispensable and fat-soluble nutrient, is associated with skeletal mineralization and health in mammals. However, such associations have not been well studied in economically important crustaceans. Six levels of vit-D3 with isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were used to feed Eriocheir sinensis. The range of optimal vit-D3 requirements is 5685.43-10,000 IU/kg based on growth. The crabs fed 9000 IU/kg vit-D3 showed the best growth performance. This vit-D3 dose significantly increased antioxidant capacity in the hepatopancreas and intestine and was optimal for molting and innate immunity via quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Transcriptomics analyses indicate that vit-D3 could alter protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, steroid biosynthesis, and antigen processing and presentation. As shown by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, vit-D3 could improve vitamin D receptor, retinoic acid receptor, and C-type lectins concentrations. The 1α,25-dihydroxy vit-D3 content in serum was significantly higher in 3000-9000 IU/kg vit-D3. The study suggests that dietary vit-D3 and its metabolites can regulate molting and innate immunity in crabs.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a kind of iron-dependent programed cell death. Vitamin D has been shown to be an antioxidant and a regulator of iron metabolism, but the relationship between vitamin D and ferroptosis is poorly studied in fish. This study used zebrafish liver cells (ZFL) to establish a ferroptosis model to explore the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on cell ferroptosis and its mechanism of action. The results showed that different incubation patterns of 1,25(OH)2D3 improved the survival rate of ZFL, mitigated mitochondrial damage, enhanced total glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (LPO), and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as iron ion levels, with the best effect at 200 pM 1,25(OH)2D3 preincubation for 72 h. Preincubation of ZFL at 200 pM 1,25(OH)2D3 for 72 h downgraded keap1 and ptgs2 gene expression, increased nrf2, ho-1, fth1, gpx4a,b expression, and lowered the expression of the nf-κb p65,il-6,il-1β gene, thus reducing the expression of hamp1. The above results indicate that different incubation patterns of 1,25(OH)2D3 have protective effects on ferroptosis of ZFL induced by ferroptosis activator RSL3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 can inhibit ferroptosis of ZFL by regulating Keap1-Nrf2-GPx4 and NF-κB-hepcidin axis.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 2021; 77:276-282.

Abstract
Metformin, a clinical agent of type 2 diabetes, is reported as a potential geroprotector. Viral infection induces phenotypes of senescence in human T cells, and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a viral mimic, induces upregulation of SA-β-gal activity in ovary of the annual fish Nothobranchius guentheri. However, the effects and mechanisms of metformin on poly I:C-induced aging-like phenomena are poorly understood in vertebrates. In this study, the activity of SA-β-gal increased in gut of 12-month-old fish and poly I:C-injected 6-month-old fish, compared to 6-month-old control fish, indicating that poly I:C induces aging-like phenomena in gut of the fish. Metformin supplementation retarded accumulation of SA-β-gal in gut of old fish and poly I:C-treated young fish. The results of q-PCR analysis showed that metformin reduced NF-κB mediated inflammatory response including decreased level of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 and increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in gut of the fish with natural aging and poly I:C-injected 6-month-old fish. Metformin also exhibited antioxidant effects, as it reduced ROS production which is associated with the upregulation of FoxO3a and PGC-1α in gut of 6-month-old fish with poly I:C-injection. Expression of AMPK and SIRT1 was reduced in gut of 6-month-old fish with poly I:C-treatment, and feeding metformin reversed these declines. Taken together, the present study suggested that poly I:C-injection led to aging-like phenomena in gut and metformin activated AMPK and SIRT1 to reduce NF-κB mediated inflammation and resist oxidative stress via enhanced expression of FoxO3a and PGC-1α, and finally delayed gut aging in vertebrates.

Influences of dietary vitamin D 3 on growth, antioxidant capacity, immunity and molting of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) larvae. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2021; 210:105862. [PMID: 33675950 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2021.105862] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2020] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
This study investigates the effects of vitamin D3 (VD3) on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity and molting of larval Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. A total of 6,000 larvae (7.52 ± 0.10 mg) were fed with six isonitrogenous and isolipidic experimental diets with different levels of dietary VD3 (0, 3000, 6000, 9000, 12000 and 36000 IU/kg) respectively for 23 days. The highest survival and molting frequency were found in crabs fed 6000 IU/kg VD3. Weight gain, specific growth rate, and carapace growth significantly increased in crabs fed 3000 and 6000 IU/kg VD3 compared to the control. Broken-line analysis of molting frequency, weight gain and specific growth rate against dietary VD3 levels indicates that the optimal VD3 requirement for larval crabs is 4825-5918 IU/kg. The highest whole-body VD3 content occurred in the 12000 IU/kg VD3 group, and the 25-dihydroxy VD3 content decreased with the increase of dietary VD3. The malonaldehyde content was lower than the control. Moreover, the superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidant capacity of crab fed 6000 IU/kg VD3 were significantly higher than in control. Crabs fed 9000 IU/kg showed the highest survival after 120 h of salinity stress, and the relative mRNA expressions indicate vitamin D receptor (VDR) is the important regulatory element in molting and innate immunity. The molting-related gene expressions showed that the response of crab to salinity was self-protective. This study would contribute to a new understanding of the molecular basis underlying molting and innate immunity regulation by vitamin D3 in E. sinensis.

Vitamin D 3 mitigates lipopolysaccharide-induced oxidative stress, tight junction damage and intestinal inflammatory response in yellow catfish, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2021; 243:108982. [PMID: 33497802 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2021.108982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The present study explored the possible mitigative effects of vitamin D3 (VD3) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal oxidative stress, inflammatory response and tight junction damage in yellow catfish, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. Herein, four experimental groups were established by injecting yellow catfish with NaCl, LPS, VD3 or LPS plus VD3. The results showed that LPS induced oxidative stress and that exogenous VD3 mitigated the adverse effects of LPS. Additionally, LPS suppressed the activity of antioxidant enzymes (Cat, Sod and Gr) and upregulated the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines (Tnf-α, Il-1β, Il-8). Furthermore, the mRNA expression of "fencing" tight junctions (Claudin-1, Claudin-5, Occludin, Zo-1) was downregulated, while that of "pore-forming" tight junctions (Claudin-2, Claudin-12) was upregulated, however no effect on apoptosis genes was observed (p53, Bax, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9). These LPS-induced effects were significantly reversed by pretreatment with VD3. Taken together, this study suggests that exogenous VD3 substantially alleviates LPS-induced intestinal inflammation by upregulating antioxidant activity, suppressing inflammation and promoting fencing tight junctions in the intestine.
