Redox profile of silver catfish challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila and treated with hexane extract of Hesperozygis ringens (Benth.) Epling through immersion bath. AN ACAD BRAS CIENC 2024; 96:e20230188. [PMID: 38597489 DOI: 10.1590/0001-3765202420230188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
The growing increase in the fish farming sector has favored the establishment of bacterial outbreaks caused by Aeromonas hydrophila in several species. The hexane extract of Hesperozygis ringens (HEHR) (Lamiaceae) leaves increased the survival rate of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) experimentally infected by A. hydrophila. However, it is noteworthy that no reports have been found on the possible mechanisms of action of this extract in infected fish. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the HEHR, administered through single immersion bath, on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defenses in muscle and liver tissue of silver catfish challenged with A. hydrophila. The results showed that the oxidative status of silver catfish was altered, although oxidative stress was not triggered during the experiment. HEHR at 30 mg/L (HEHR30) was not characterized as a pro-oxidant agent in the presence of infection, unlike florfenicol and HEHR at 15 mg/L treatments in some cases. In short, HEHR30 provided an important increase in hepatic catalase activity, characterizing one of the possible mechanisms involved in the greater survival of fish experimentally infected by A. hydrophila. Additionally, HEHR30 did not induce lipid peroxidation, nor reduced antioxidant defenses of silver catfish infected or not by A. hydrophila.

Abstract
Because of their unique glycosidic bond structure, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are difficult for the stomach to break down. NSP can be classified as insoluble NSP (iNSP, fiber, lignin, etc.) and soluble NSP (sNSP, oligosaccharides, β-glucan, pectin, fermentable fiber, inulin, plant-derived polysaccharides, etc.). sNSP is viscous, fermentable, and soluble. Gut microbiota may catabolize sNSP, which can then control fish lipid, glucose, and protein metabolism and impact development rates. This review examined the most recent studies on the impacts of various forms of sNSP on the nutritional metabolism of various fish in order to comprehend the effects of sNSP on fish. According to certain investigations, sNSP can enhance fish development, boost the activity of digestive enzymes, reduce blood sugar and cholesterol, enhance the colonization of good gut flora, and modify fish nutrition metabolism. In-depth research on the mechanism of action is also lacking in most studies on the effects of sNSP on fish metabolism. It is necessary to have a deeper comprehension of the underlying processes by which sNSP induce host metabolism. This is crucial to address the main issue of the sensible use of carbohydrates in fish feed.

The effects of Pandanus tectorius leaf extract on the resistance of White-leg shrimp Penaeus vannamei towards pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus. FISH AND SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY REPORTS 2023; 4:100101. [PMID: 37397801 PMCID: PMC10313901 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsirep.2023.100101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Pandanus tectorius leaf extract effect on the White-leg shrimp Penaeus vannamei tolerance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus were investigated in this study. Thirty shrimp post-larvae measured at approximately 1 cm were exposed for 24 h to 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 g/L leaf extract and subsequently observed for survival and immune-related genes expression (Hsp70, ProPO, peroxinectin, penaeidin, crustin and transglutaminase), followed by determination of their tolerance and histological tissue profiles upon Vibrio challenge. Survival of shrimps treated with 6 g/L of leaf extract improved by up to 95% to controls. Hsp70, crustin, and prophenoloxidase mRNA levels were observed to be 8.5, 10.4, and 1.5-fold higher, respectively. Histopathological analysis of the hepatopancreas and the muscle tissues revealed major tissue degeneration in Vibrio-challenged shrimps but not in shrimps primed with P. tectorius leaf extract. Of all the dose examined, the best pathogen resistance results were obtained with a 24 h incubation of shrimp in 6 g/L P. tectorius methanolic leaf extract. The tolerance towards V. parahaemolyticus might be associated with the increased regulation of Hsp70, prophenoloxidase and crustin upon exposure to the extract, all immune-related proteins essential for pathogen elimination in Penaeid shrimp. The present study primarily demonstrated that P. tectorius leaf extract is a viable alternative for enhancing P. vannamei post-larvae resistance against V. parahaemolyticus, a major bacterial pathogen in aquaculture.

Abstract
Non-conventional yeast species, or non-Saccharomyces yeasts, are increasingly recognized for their involvement in fermented foods. Many of them exhibit probiotic characteristics that are mainly due to direct contacts with other cell types through various molecular components of their cell wall. The biochemical composition and/or the molecular structure of the cell wall components are currently considered the primary determinant of their probiotic properties. Here we first present the techniques that are used to extract and analyze the cell wall components of food industry-related non-Saccharomyces yeasts. We then review the current understanding of the cell wall composition and structure of each polysaccharide from these yeasts. Finally, the data exploring the potential beneficial role of their cell wall components, which could be a source of innovative functional ingredients, are discussed. Such research would allow the development of high value-added products and provide the food industry with novel inputs beyond the well-established S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of C. butyricum on the growth performance, microbiota, immunity response, and disease resistance in hybrid grouper fed with cottonseed protein concentrate (CPC) replacement of fishmeal. Six groups of isonitrogenous and isolipid diets were formulated including a positive control group (50% fishmeal, PC), a negative control group (CPC replaced 50% of fishmeal protein, NC), and Clostridium butyricum supplemented with 0.05% (C1, 5 × 108 CFU/kg), 0.2% (C2, 2 × 109 CFU/kg), 0.8% (C3, 8 × 109 CFU/kg), and 3.2% (C4, 3.2 × 1010 CFU/kg), respectively, to the NC group. The results showed that weight gain rate and specific growth rate were significantly higher in the C4 group than that in the NC group (P < 0.05). After supplementation with C. butyricum, the amylase, lipase, and trypsin activities were significantly higher than the NC group (P < 0.05; except group C1), and the same results were obtained for intestinal morphometry. The intestinal proinflammatory factors were significantly downregulated, and the anti-inflammatory factors were significantly upregulated in the C3 and C4 groups compared with the NC group after supplementation with 0.8%-3.2% C. butyricum (P < 0.05). At the phylum level, the PC, NC, and C4 groups were dominated by the Firmicutes and the Proteobacteria. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Bacillus in the NC group was lower than that in the PC and C4 groups. After supplementation with C. butyricum, grouper in the C4 group showed significantly higher resistance to V. harveyi than the NC group (P < 0.05). Above all, taking into account the effects of immunity and disease resistance, it was recommended to supplement 3.2% C. butyricum in the diet of grouper fed the replacement of 50% fishmeal protein by CPC.

Mannan oligosaccharides alleviate oxidative injury in the head kidney and spleen in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) via the Nrf2 signaling pathway after Aeromonas hydrophila infection. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2023; 14:58. [PMID: 37060042 PMCID: PMC10105433 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-023-00844-1] [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: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) are recommended as aquaculture additives owing to their excellent antioxidant properties. In the present study, we examined the effects of dietary MOS on the head kidney and spleen of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) with Aeromonas hydrophila infection. METHODS A total of 540 grass carp were used for the study. They were administered six gradient dosages of the MOS diet (0, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 mg/kg) for 60 d. Subsequently, we performed a 14-day Aeromonas hydrophila challenge experiment. The antioxidant capacity of the head kidney and spleen were examined using spectrophotometry, DNA fragmentation, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting. RESULTS After infection with Aeromonas hydrophila, 400-600 mg/kg MOS supplementation decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species, protein carbonyl, and malonaldehyde and increased the levels of anti-superoxide anion, anti-hydroxyl radical, and glutathione in the head kidney and spleen of grass carp. The activities of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, manganese superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase were also enhanced by supplementation with 400-600 mg/kg MOS. Furthermore, the expression of most antioxidant enzymes and their corresponding genes increased significantly with supplementation of 200-800 mg/kg MOS. mRNA and protein levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 also increased following supplementation with 400-600 mg/kg MOS. In addition, supplementation with 400-600 mg/kg MOS reduced excessive apoptosis by inhibiting the death receptor pathway and mitochondrial pathway processes. CONCLUSIONS Based on the quadratic regression analysis of the above biomarkers (reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and protein carbonyl) of oxidative damage in the head kidney and spleen of on-growing grass carp, the recommended MOS supplementation is 575.21, 557.58, 531.86, 597.35, 570.16, and 553.80 mg/kg, respectively. Collectively, MOS supplementation could alleviate oxidative injury in the head kidney and spleen of grass carp infected with Aeromonas hydrophila.

Abstract
Carp is an important aquaculture species globally, and the production is expected to increase with the growing market demands. Despite that, disease outbreaks remain a major challenge, impeding the development of sustainable carp farming. Moreover, the application of antibiotics, a common prophylactic agent, can adversely impact public health and the environment. Therefore, polysaccharide has been recognized as a novel prophylactic agent in the health management of carp farming, as well as gaining consumers' confidence in carp farming products. In this review, the definition, sources, and main roles of polysaccharides in improving growth performance, stimulating the immune system, enhancing disease resistance, and alleviating abiotic stresses in carp farming are discussed and summarized. In addition, the use of polysaccharides in combination with other prophylactic agents to improve carp farming production is also highlighted. This review aims to highlight the roles of polysaccharides and provide valuable information on the benefits of polysaccharides in carp farming.

Abstract
In recent years, with the harm caused by the abuse of antibiotics and the increasing demand for green and healthy food, people gradually began to look for antibiotic alternatives for aquaculture. As a Chinese herbal medicine, leaf extract chlorogenic acid (CGA) of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver can improve animal immunity and antioxidant capacity and can improve animal production performance. In this study, crucian carp (Carassius auratus) was fed with complete feed containing 200 mg/kg CGA for 60 days to evaluate the antioxidant, immuno-enhancement, and regulation of intestinal microbial activities of CGA. In comparison to the control, the growth performance indexes of CGA-added fish were significantly increased, including final body weight, weight gain rate, and specific growth rate (P < 0.01), while the feed conversion rate was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Intestinal digestive enzyme activity significantly increased (P < 0.01); the contents of triglyceride in the liver (P < 0.01) and muscle (P > 0.05) decreased; and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes in the liver was promoted. Additionally, the non-specific immune enzyme activities of intestinal and liver tissues were increased, but the expression level of the adenylate-activated protein kinase gene involved in energy metabolism was not affected. The antioxidant capacity of intestinal, muscle, and liver tissues was improved. Otherwise, CGA enhanced the relative abundance of intestinal microbes, Fusobacteria and Firmicutes and degraded the relative abundance of Proteobacteria. In general, our data showed that supplementation with CGA in dietary had a positive effect on Carassius auratus growth, immunity, and balance of the bacteria in the intestine. Our findings suggest that it is of great significance to develop and use CGA as a natural non-toxic compound in green and eco-friendly feed additives.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of dietary supplementation with Moringa oleifera leaf extract on the resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila infection in crucian carp. The fish were randomly divided into five groups: the basal diet, the basal diet supplied with 0.25% (0.25 M), 0.5% (0.5 M), 0.75% (0.75 M) and 1.0% M. oleifera leaf extract (1.0 M) for 8 weeks. The growth, antioxidant capabilities, related immune genes as well as resistance to A. hydrophila infection were determined. The results showed that compared with the control group, the weight gain, specific growth rate in the group of 0.5% M. oleifera leaf extract, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), albumin (ALB) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), the gene expression of hepatopancreas BTB and CNC homolog 1 (Bach1), NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), peroxidases (PRX) and NADPH oxidase (NOX) in the group of 0.5%-1.0% M. oleifera leaf extract increased, while feed conversion ratio, serum cortisol, red blood cell (RBC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), malonaldehyde (MDA) decreased in the group of 0.5%-1.0% M. oleifera leaf extract before the stress. After the infection, the group of 0.5% or 0.75% M. oleifera leaf extract also could improve the serum ALB, hepatopancreas Kelch-like-ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), Bach1, Nrf2, TOR, PRX and NOX and reduce cortisol compared with the control group. In summary, this study suggested that 0.5% M. oleifera leaf extract inclusion increased the growth performance, even had positive effects on physiological and immune function, and enhanced resistance against pathogenic infections in crucian carp. The optimum level of M. oleifera leaf extract for crucian carp was estimated to be 0.35%-0.48% based on polynomial comparison with FCR and SGR.

Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is a common pathogen of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila infection was shown to cause tissue damage, trigger physiological changes as well as alter the expression profiles of immune- and metabolic-related genes in immune tissues of red crucian carp (RCC). Transcriptome analysis revealed that acute A. hydrophila infection exerted a profound effect on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation linking metabolic regulation to immune response. In addition, we further identified cellular senescence, apoptosis, necrosis and mitogen-activated protein kinase signal pathways as crucial signal pathways in the kidney of RCC subjected to A. hydrophila infection. These findings may have important implications for understanding modulation of immunometabolic response to bacterial infection.

Abstract
The original objective was to explore the potential benefiting effects of three prebiotics in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus♂ × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀). Therefore, three experimental diets (basal diet + 1% fructooligosaccharide, Diet F; basal diet + 1% inulin, Diet I; basal diet + 0.3% mannan-oligosaccharide, Diet M) and one basal diet (Diet C) were prepared and a feeding trial was conducted. However, at the end of the fourth week into the feeding experiment, a water-leaking accident occurred and fishes of all groups went through an unexpected air exposure event. Surprisingly, different prebiotic-supplemented groups showed significantly different air exposure tolerance: the mortality of M group was significantly lower (P ≤ 0.05) than all the other groups. Examination of antioxidant, non-specific immunity, and stress parameters revealed that comparing to control group, M group showed significantly increased catalase (CAT), acid phosphatase (ACP), and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities, decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and similar cortisol level (P ≤ 0.05). Real-time PCR experiment revealed that M group significantly increased the expression of CAT, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) genes in head kidney (P ≤ 0.05). Overall, M exhibited the best anti-air exposure/antioxidative stress effects among the three prebiotics and could be considered a promising feed additive to relieve air exposure/oxidative stress in hybrid grouper culture.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess possible beneficial effects of dietary β-mannanase supplementation on the nutrient digestibility, growth performance, digestive and metabolic enzyme activity, and immune response of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fed plant protein-rich diets. An experiment was conducted in triplicate, and a total of 225 fingerlings of common carp with an average body weight of 13.17 ± 0.12 g were stocked in 15 fiberglass tanks (15 fish/tank). Five dietary treatments (control 35% crude protein, plant-rich basal diet without supplement and four diets supplemented with β-mannanase from two sources (commercially available and locally isolated), each at two dosage levels (500 and 1,000 U/kg diet) were prepared and fed to respective groups of fish, twice a day (8:00 AM and 4:00 PM) at 4 % body weight. During the trial, changes in the level of DO and temperature ranged from 5.5 to 6.1 mg L-1 and 21.5 to 23.5°C, respectively. At the end of the feeding experiment, all fish in each tank were weighed and counted to determine growth parameters, while for the study of other indices, nine samples/treatment group were selected. The results of the study indicated a positive effect of both sources and dosage levels of β-mannanase supplementation on all studied indices, that is, significantly improved (P < 0.05), growth performance (%weight gain, specific growth rate), survival %, hematological indices (RBC, Hb, HCT, and MCHC), immunological indices (lysozyme activity, WBC, respiratory burst activity, and phagocytic activity), improved apparent digestibility of nutrients (crude protein, crude fat, and carbohydrates), and digestible energy. Furthermore, higher activity (P < 0.05) of the digestive enzymes (cellulase, lipase, and protease) and upregulation of MyoD gene in muscle and TNF-α gene in liver, intestine, and muscle were also observed, while the activity of serum AST (serum aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine transaminase) as compared to control group was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Based on the results, β-mannanase supplementation (500 U/kg) could be recommended for obtaining better carp production when low-cost plant protein-rich diets are used.

Abstract
Ferritin M is involved in the regulation of fish immunity. In this study, open reading frame (ORF) sequences of ferritin M from hybrid fish and its parental species were 534 bp. Tissue-specific analysis indicated that the highest level of ferritin M from red crucian carp was observed in kidney, while peaked expressions of ferritin M from white crucian carp and hybrid carp were observed in gill. Elevated levels of ferritin M from hybrid carp and its parental species were detected in immune-related tissues following Aeromonas hydrophila infection or in cultured fish cell lines after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Ferritin M overexpression could attenuate NF-κB and TNFα promoter activity in their respective fish cells. Purified ferritin M fusion proteins elicited in vitro binding activity to A. hydrophila and Edwardsiella tarda, lowered bacterial dissemination to tissues and alleviated inflammatory response. Furthermore, treatment with ferritin M fusion proteins could mitigate bacteria-induced liver damage and rescue antioxidant activity. These results suggested that ferritin M in hybrid fish showed a similar immune defense against bacteria infection in comparison with those of its parental species.

Abstract
of supporting mucosal immune barrier integrity and prevention of some pathogenic infections in aquatic species, are key areas of active study, often focusing on feed additives. The objectives of this study were to explore the effects of feeding cMOS (concentrated mannan oligosaccharide) on the gill and skin mucosal barriers of goldfish (Carassius auratus Linnaeus) and evaluate health status during Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infection. After feeding the cMOS-containing diet for 60 days, Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed greater length of gill lamella and thicker dermal dense layer, while Alcian Blue and Periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) staining showed higher numbers of mucin cells in cMOS fed fish. Chemical analysis showed that fish fed cMOS had greater enzyme activity of lysozyme (LZM) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) in gill and skin tissues, while qRT-PCR revealed higher expression of Muc-2 and IL-1β, as well as lower expression of IL-10. After Ichthyophthirius multifiliis challenge, goldfish fed the cMOS diet had lower mortality and infection rates, as well as fewer visible white spots on the body surfaces. Histologically, the gill and skin of these fish presented less tissue damage and fewer parasites, and had a greater number of mucus cells. In addition, the expression of Muc-2 and IL-10 were notably higher while the expression of IL-1β was significantly lower in cMOS fed goldfish than control fed fish. In this study, cMOS fed goldfish had stronger immune barrier function of skin and gill mucous, and better survival following Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infection.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:863657.

Abstract
Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) have been studied and applied as a feed additive, whereas their regulation on the growth performance and immunity of aquatic animals lacks consensus. Furthermore, their immunoprotective effects on the freshwater fish Megalobrama amblycephala have not been sufficiently studied. Thus, we investigated the effects of dietary MOS of 0, 200, and 400 mg/kg on the growth performance, non-specific immunity, intestinal health, and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila infection in juvenile M. amblycephala. The results showed that the weight gain rate of juvenile M. amblycephala was not significantly different after 8 weeks of feeding, whereas the feed conversion ratio decreased in the MOS group of 400 mg/kg. Moreover, dietary MOS increased the survival rate of juvenile M. amblycephala upon infection, which may be attributed to enhanced host immunity. For instance, dietary MOS increase host bactericidal and antioxidative abilities by regulating the activities of hepatic antimicrobial and antioxidant enzymes. In addition, MOS supplementation increased the number of intestinal goblet cells, and the intestine was protected from necrosis of the intestinal folds and disruption of the microvilli and junctional complexes, thus maintaining the stability of the intestinal epithelial barrier. The expression levels of M. amblycephala immune and tight junction-related genes increased after feeding dietary MOS for 8 weeks. However, the upregulated expression of immune and tight junction-related genes in the MOS supplemental groups was not as notable as that in the control group postinfection. Therefore, MOS supplementation might suppress the damage caused by excessive intestinal inflammation. Furthermore, dietary MOS affected the richness and composition of the gut microbiota, which improved the gut health of juvenile M. amblycephala by increasing the relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota. Briefly, dietary MOS exhibited significant immune protective effects to juvenile M. amblycephala, which is a functional feed additive and immunostimulant.

Comparative Proteomic Analysis Revealed the Mechanism of Tea Tree Oil Targeting Lipid Metabolism and Antioxidant System to Protect Hepatopancreatic Health in Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Front Immunol 2022; 13:906435. [PMID: 35711420 PMCID: PMC9195101 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.906435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Tea tree oil (TTO) is a pure natural plant essential oil. The studies evaluated the hepatopancreas lipid metabolism and antioxidant efficacy of Macrobrachium rosenbergii fed with 0 (CT group) and 100 mg/kg TTO (TT group) by label-free quantification proteomic analysis. Compared to the CT group, the TT group improved growth performance and increased the survival rate after stress. Dietary TTO also decreased hemolymph AST and ALT activities and decreased hepatopancreatic vacuolation. At the same time, hepatopancreas lipids droplets and hemolymph lipids (TG, TC, LDL-C) were decreased, and the peroxidation products content (MDA, LPO, 4-HNE) was also decreased. In addition, the levels of hepatopancreas antioxidant enzymes (T-AOC, CAT, and SOD) were increased in the TT group. With proteomic analysis, a total of 151 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (99 up-regulated and 52 down-regulated) were identified in the hepatopancreas. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and protein-protein interaction analysis showed that the 16 DEPs have interactions, which are mainly involved in the pathways related to lipid metabolism (fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism) and redox reaction (cytochrome P450 enzyme systems). Furthermore, the mRNA expression of 15 proteins followed the proteomic analysis with qRT-PCR validation. Pearson correlation analysis showed that fatty acids and glycerophospholipid metabolism-related proteins were highly correlated to peroxide content, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and cytochrome P450 system-related proteins (CYP1A1, GSTT1, GPX4) were highly correlated to AST and ALT. Additionally, GPX4 is closely related to peroxide content and antioxidant enzyme activity. Our results revealed that TTO plays a protective role in the hepatopancreas targeting the critical enzymes and antioxidant reactions in lipid metabolism. Provides a new perspective to elucidate the action path of TTO in protecting invertebrate hepatopancreas, highlights the influence of lipid metabolism on hepatopancreas health and the interaction between lipid metabolism and antioxidant system in the regulation of TTO.

Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila can threaten the survival of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila challenge could induce tissue damage, promote antioxidant imbalance as well as alter the transcript levels of oxidative stress indicators, apoptotic genes and metabolic enzyme genes in kidney of red crucian carp (RCC). Metabolomics analysis revealed that A. hydrophila challenge had a profound effect on amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism. In addition, we further identified dipeptides, fatty acid derivatives, cortisol, choline and tetrahydrocortisone as crucial biomarkers in kidney of RCC subjected to A. hydrophila infection. These results highlighted the importance of metabolic strategy against bacterial infection.

Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila can pose a great threat to survival of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila infection could decrease blood cell numbers, promote blood cell damage as well as alter the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lysozyme (LZM), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in immune-related tissues of red crucian carp (RCC, 2 N = 100) and triploid cyprinid fish (3 N fish, 3 N = 150). In addition, the significant alternation of antioxidant status was observed in PBMCs isolated from RCC and 3 N following LPS stimulation. The core differential expression genes (DEGs) involved in apoptosis, immunity, inflammation and cellular signals were co-expressed differentially in RCC and 3 N following A. hydrophila challenge. NOD-like receptor (NLR) signals appeared to play a critical role in A. hydrophila-infected fish. DEGs of NLR signals in RCCah vs RCCctl were enriched in caspase-1-dependent Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion, interferon (IFN) signals as well as cytokine activation, while DEGs of NLR signals in 3Nah vs 3Nctl were enriched in caspase-1-dependent IL-1β secretion and antibacterial autophagy. These results highlighted the differential signal regulation of different ploidy cyprinid fish to cope with bacterial infection.

A novel ferritin L (FerL) in hybrid crucian carp could participate in host defense against Aeromonas hydrophila infection and diminish inflammatory signals. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 120:620-632.

Abstract
FerL, a multifunctional iron-storage polypeptide, not only exhibited a regulatory role in iron metabolism, but also participated in the regulation of fish immunity. In this study, ORF sequence of WR-FerL was 522 bp, encoding 173 amino acid residues. Tissue-specific analysis revealed that the highest expression of WR-FerL was detected in spleen. A. hydrophila challenge and LPS stimulation could sharply enhance WR-FerL mRNA expression in tissues and fish cells, respectively. Purified WR-FerL fusion peptide exhibited in vitro binding activity to A. hydrophila and endotoxin, limited bacterial dissemination to tissues as well as attenuated A. hydrophila-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, WR-FerL overexpression could abrogate NF-κB and TNFα promoter activity in fish cells. These results indicated that WR-FerL could play an important role in host defense against A. hydrophila infection.

Abstract
Songpu mirror carp, Cyprinus carpio L., is a new variety of common carp that has become an economically important freshwater fish in China. However, it remains unknown how its metabolism is regulated under starvation. Here, we investigated how intestinal digestion, antioxidant status, microbiota and immune activities were affected under starvation stress. The feeding regimes were designed as follows: ST0 comprised fish allowed to feed continuously; ST1 comprised fish starved for 1 week; ST2 comprised fish starved for 2 weeks; ST3 comprised fish starved for 3 weeks; ST4 comprised fish starved for 4 weeks. Our results showed a significant decrease in the level of intestinal amylase, lipase, and protease activities in the group ST4 (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, intestinal antioxidant enzyme activities were significantly increased during short-term starvation. The gene expression levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were elevated in the groups ST3 and ST4. We also detected the reduction in the expression levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β2) compared with those of the group ST0. Notably, the gut microbial composition was dominated by Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes. The relative abundance of the dominant microbial phyla changed significantly under starvation stress. Taken together, our results suggest that starvation can induce the change of intestinal digestion, non-specific immunity and microbiota in Songpu mirror carp, and provide new insights into its habitat selection and adaptation to environmental changes.

Abstract
Ferritin H can participate in the regulation of fish immunity. Tissue-specific analysis revealed that the highest expressions of Ferritin H in parental species were observed in spleen, while peaked level of Ferritin H mRNA in hybrid fish was observed in liver. In addition, A. hydrophila challenge could sharply enhance their Ferritin H mRNA expression in liver, kidney and spleen. To further investigate their roles in immune regulation, their Ferritin H fusion proteins were produced in vitro. Ferritin H fusion proteins could exhibit a direct binding activity to A. hydrophila and endotoxin in a dose-dependent manner, restrict dissemination of A. hydrophila to tissues and abrogate inflammatory cascades. Moreover, treatment with Ferritin H fusion proteins could reduce A. hydrophila-induced lipid peroxidation. These results indicated that Ferritin H in hybrid fish elicited a similar immune regulation of A. hydrophila-induced inflammatory signals in comparison with those of its parents.

Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila can pose a great threat to survival of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila challenge could promote the erythrocyte hemolysis, increase free hemoglobin (FHB) level and generate malondialdehyde (MDA) production in plasma but decrease the levels of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lysozyme (LZM) of red crucian carp (RCC, 2 N = 100) and triploid hybrid fish (3 N fish, 3 N = 150) following A. hydrophila challenge. Elevated expression levels of heat shock protein 90 alpha (HSP90α), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), free fatty acid receptor 3 (FFAR3), paraoxonase 2 (PON2) and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) were observed in A. hydrophila-infected fish. In addition, A. hydrophila challenge could significantly increase expressions of cortisol, leucine, isoleucine, glutamate and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in RCC and 3 N, while glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle appeared to be inactive. We identified differential fatty acid derivatives and their metabolic networks as crucial biomarkers from metabolic profiles of different ploidy cyprinid fish subjected to A. hydrophila infection. These results highlighted the comparative metabolic strategy of different ploidy cyprinid fish against bacterial infection.

Abstract
The effect of Agaricus bisporus polysaccharides (ABPs) supplemented diet on growth rate, antioxidant capacity, innate-adaptive immune response, proinflammatory and antiinflammatory genes expression in Ctenopharyngodon idella against Aeromonas hydrophila is reported. In both normal and challenged groups fed with 1.0 and 1.5 mg kg-1 ABPs diets resulted in a significant weight gain and feed intake. The survival was 100% in normal fish fed without or with any ABPs diet; the challenged fish fed with 1.0 mg kg-1 ABPs diet had 98.6% survival. The RBC and WBC counts, Hb, and Hct levels were significant in both normal and challenged groups fed with 1.0 and 1.5 mg kg-1 ABPs diets. A significant increase in total protein and albumin level was observed in both groups fed with 1.0 and 1.5 mg kg-1 ABPs diets. Significant increase in GPx, ROS, GR, GSH, PC, and MnSOD activity was observed in HK of both groups fed with 1.0 and 1.5 mg kg-1 ABPs diets; similarly both groups when fed with the same ABPs diets showed significant Lz, C3, and C4 activity. However, both groups fed with 1.0 mg kg-1 ABPs diet showed significant β-defensin, LEAP-2A, IL-6, and NF-κB P65 mRNA expression. Similarly, IFN-γ2, IL-10, and TNFα mRNA expressions were significant in both groups fed with 1.0 mg kg-1 ABPs diet. The results indicate that both normal and challenged C. idella fed with a 1.0 mg kg-1 ABPs diet had better growth, antioxidant status, immune response, and pro-anti-inflammatory gene modulation against A. hydrophila.

A Tentative Study of the Effects of Heat-Inactivation of the Probiotic Strain Shewanella putrefaciens Ppd11 on Senegalese Sole ( Solea senegalensis) Intestinal Microbiota and Immune Response. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9040808. [PMID: 33921253 PMCID: PMC8070671 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9040808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Concerns about safety, applicability and functionality associated with live probiotic cells have led to consideration of the use of non-viable microorganisms, known as paraprobiotics. The present study evaluated the effects of dietary administration of heat-inactivated cells of the probiotic strain Shewanella putrefaciens Ppd11 on the intestinal microbiota and immune gene transcription in Solea senegalensis. Results obtained were evaluated and compared to those described after feeding with viable Pdp11 cells. S. senegalensis specimens were fed with basal (control) diet or supplemented with live or heat inactivated (60 °C, 1 h) probiotics diets for 45 days. Growth improvement was observed in the group receiving live probiotics compared to the control group, but not after feeding with a probiotic heat-inactivated diet. Regarding immune gene transcription, no changes were observed for tnfα, il-6, lys-c1, c7, hsp70, and hsp90aa in the intestinal samples based on the diet. On the contrary, hsp90ab, gp96, cd4, cd8, il-1β, and c3 transcription were modulated after probiotic supplementation, though no differences between viable and heat-inactivated probiotic supplemented diets were observed. Modulation of intestinal microbiota showed remarkable differences based on the viability of the probiotics. Thus, higher diversity in fish fed with live probiotic cells, jointly with increased Mycoplasmataceae and Spirochaetaceae to the detriment of Brevinemataceae, was detected. However, microbiota of fish receiving heat-inactivated probiotic cells showed decreased Mycoplasmataceae and increased Brevinemataceae and Vibrio genus abundance. In short, the results obtained indicate that the viable state of Pdp11 probiotic cells affects growth performance and modulation of S. senegalensis intestinal microbiota. On the contrary, minor changes were detected in the intestinal immune response, being similar for fish receiving both, viable and inactivated probiotic cell supplemented diets, when compared to the control diet.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to summarize the current knowledge regarding the effects of aeromonosis on fish oxidative status. The bibliographic survey was carried out on the research platforms: Scopus and Science Direct. The keywords 'Aeromonas', 'fish' and 'oxidative status' (or 'oxidative stress', 'oxidative damage' and similar terms) were used. Scientific papers and short communications were considered. Studies involving fish aeromonosis and enzymatic or non-enzymatic markers of oxidative status were selected. The results of antioxidant enzymes activities/expressions after infection lack consistency, suggesting that these findings should be interpreted with caution. Most of the analysed studies pointed to an increase in reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde and protein carbonylation levels, indicating possible oxidative damage caused by the infection. Thus, these three biomarkers are excellent indicators of oxidative stress during infection. Regarding respiratory burst activity, several studies have indicated increased activity, but other studies have indicated unchanged activity after infection. Nitric oxide levels also increased after infection in most studies. Therefore, it is suggested that the fish's immune system tries to fight a bacterial infection by releasing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

Abstract
In this study, the protective effects and potential mechanisms of (2-Carboxyethyl) dimethylsulfonium Bromide (Br-DMPT) were evaluated in relation to the gill health status of on-growing young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 450 grass carp (216.49 ± 0.29 g) were randomly distributed into five treatments of three replicates each (30 fish per replicate) and were fed diets supplemented with gradational Br-DMPT (0-520.0 mg/kg levels) for 60 days. Subsequently, the fish were challenged with Flavobacterium columnare for 3 days, and the gills were sampled to evaluate antioxidant status and immune responses evaluation. Our results showed that, when compared to the control group, dietary supplementation with appropriate Br-DMPT levels resulted in the following: (1) decreased gill rot morbidity and improved gill histological symptoms after exposure to F. columnare (P < 0.05); (2) improved activities and gene expression levels (except GSTP2 gene) of antioxidant enzymes and decreased oxidative damage parameter values (reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl) (P < 0.05), which may be partially associated with the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signalling pathway (P < 0.05); (3) increased lysozyme (LZ) and acid phosphatase (ACP) activities and complement 3 (C3), C4 and immunoglobulin M (IgM) contents, and upregulated genes expressions of antibacterial peptides (liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide-2A, -2B, hepcidin, β-defensin and mucin2) (P < 0.05); (4) upregulated gene expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines (except IL--4/13B) that may be partially to the TOR/(S6K1, 4E-BP1) signalling pathway, and downregulated gene expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines (except IL-12P35) may be partially to the IKK β, γ/IκBα/NF-kB) signalling pathway (P < 0.05). Taken together, our results indicate that dietary supplementation with appropriate amounts of Br-DMPT may effectively protect on-growing grass carp from F. columnare by strengthening gill antioxidant capacity and immunity. Furthermore, based on measures of combatting gill rot, antioxidant indices (MDA) and immune indices (LZ), the dietary Br-DMPT supplementation levels for on-growing grass carp are recommended to be 291.14, 303.38 and 312.01 mg/kg diet, respectively.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 106:341-356.

Abstract
Fish fed a high plant protein diet exhibit intestinal inflammation, the mechanism of which needs to be clarified. We preliminarily elucidate the mechanism of the TLRs/MyD88-PI3K/Akt signalling pathway in intestinal inflammation induced by plant proteins. The diets contained 60% fish meal (FM, controls), or had 45% of the fish meal protein replaced by soybean meal (SBM), peanut meal (PM), cottonseed meal (CSM) or cottonseed protein concentrate (CPC). After an 8-week feeding trial, fish were challenged by injection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria for 7 days until the fish stabilized. The results showed that the specific growth rate (SGR) of the FM group was higher than other groups. The SGR of the CPC group was higher than those of the SBM, PM and CSM groups. The catalase (CAT) contents in the serum of fish fed a plant protein diet were higher than in FM fish. The abundances of Rhodobacteraceae and Microbacteriaceae in the MI (mid intestine) were higher in the CPC group. The TLR-2 expressions in the MI and DI of plant protein-fed fish were up-regulated. The expressions of IL-6 in the PI and MI, of hepcidin and TLR-3 in the MI, and of TLR-3 in the DI, were all lower than those of fish fed FM. In the PI, MI and DI, the protein expressions of P-PI3K/T-PI3K in the SBM and PM groups were higher than in the FM group. After the challenge, the cumulative mortalities in the FM and CPC groups were lower than those of the SBM, PM and CSM groups. These results suggested that plant protein diets reduced antioxidant capacity and glycolipid metabolism, hindered the development of the intestine and reduced intestinal flora diversity. TLR-3 is involved in the immune regulation of the PI in CPC group, MI and DI in SBM, PM, CSM and CPC groups, while might be involved in the immune regulation of the PI in SBM, PM and CSM groups. Furthermore, PI3K/Akt signaling does not participate in the regulation of PI and MI in the CSM group, MI and DI in the CPC group.

Abstract
We identified an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from Lactobacillus acidophilus that was antagonistic to Aeromonas hydrophila. In vitro studies such as well-diffusion and field trials revealed that the AMP was active against A. hydrophila. The field trials of AMP using A. hydrophila-infected Channa striatus with a mannone oligosaccharide (MOS) prebiotic, A. hydrophila antigens, A. hydrophila-infected fish serum, L. acidophilus, and Lactobacillus cell free-supernatant (LABS-CFS) on an indicator organism further revealed that the antimicrobial agent could protect C. striatus. Other than the AMP, none of the above were able to eliminate the infectious agent A. hydrophila, and were only able to delay the death rate for 3-4 days. Thus, we conclude that the AMP is antagonistic to A. hydrophila and may be used for treatment of A. hydrophila infections. Subsequent L. acidophilus whole-genome sequence analyses enabled an understanding of the (probable) gene arrangement and its location on the chromosome. This information may be useful in the generation of recombinant peptides to produce larger quantities for treatment.

Abstract
Peppermint is a popular herbal medicine due to its several pharmaceutical applications. In this study, peppermint powder was used as a feed additive to evaluate growth performance, hematological parameters, protein profile of skin mucus, and immune parameters, as well as growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), and 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) gene expression in Caspian roach (Rutilus caspicus). The fingerlings (average weight of 2.40 ± 0.12 g) were fed with diet containing 0 (control), 2, 3, and 4 g/kg peppermint for 8 weeks. The addition of peppermint significantly enhanced the growth parameters and decreased the food conversion ratio. Hematological indices of fish fed with peppermint-supplemented diets were significantly different from the control group (P < 0.05). Soluble protein, alkaline phosphatase, and lysozyme enzyme activity in mucus samples showed an incremental trend by increasing the peppermint levels in the diet. Evaluation of mucosal immunity indicated a remarkable difference between the protein profile in treatments fed with peppermint-supplemented diets and the control group. A new protein band (approximately 27 kDa) was also found in the skin mucus of fish fed with the diet containing 4 g/kg peppermint, and the highest band density was observed in this treatment. The highest IGF and GH gene expression were observed in 4 g/kg peppermint treatment. There was a significant difference in HSP70 expression between the fish fed with peppermint powder and the control group (P < 0.05). Overall, the results showed that dietary oral administration of peppermint at 4 g/kg of feed can act as a growth promoter and immunostimulant.

Abstract
Heat stress is a major concern in broiler's production, which can damage liver of broilers. This study investigated the protective effects of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) on heat stress-induced hepatic injury in broilers. A total of 144 day-old male chicks were allocated into three treatment groups. Broilers raised under normal ambient temperature were fed a basal diet (control group), and broilers under heat stress (32-33 °C for 8 h daily) were given the basal diet supplemented without MOS (heat stress group) or with 1 g/kg MOS (MOS group) for 42 days. Compared with the control group, heat stress reduced liver weight, whereas increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities in the serum. It also reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the serum and liver, GSH content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the liver, but increased malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in the serum and liver. Dietary MOS decreased serum ALT activity in heat-stressed broilers. MOS inclusion also decreased serum MDA content, but elevated hepatic GSH-Px and SOD activities, with MDA content and GSH-Px activity still being different from the control group, and SOD activity being similar to the control group. Heat stress increased concentrations of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in the serum and liver, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the liver, and mRNA abundances of HSP70, TLR4, MyD88, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the liver of broilers. Serum TNF-α content and mRNA abundances of hepatic TLR4 and TNF-α in MOS group were lower than the heat stress group, whereas these indexes were still higher than the control group. Our results indicated that dietary MOS ameliorated hepatic damage in heat-stressed broilers through alleviation of oxidative stress and inflammation.

Inconsistently impairment of immune function and structural integrity of head kidney and spleen by vitamin A deficiency in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 99:243-256. [PMID: 32058097 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2020.02.019] [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: 10/06/2019] [Revised: 02/06/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
To investigate effects of vitamin A (VA) on fish immune function and structural integrity in the head kidney and spleen of fish, total of 540 on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were divided into six groups, feeding graded levels of VA (0, 600, 1200, 1800, 2800 and 3800 IU/kg diet) for 70 days. Results showed that dietary VA deficiency depressed antibacterial ability and aggravated inflammatory response partially linked to nuclear factor κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathways in the head kidney and spleen of fish. Meanwhile, VA deficiency caused oxidative damage, apoptosis and disruption of tight junctions (TJs), which were partially attributed to the down-regulation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling mediated antioxidant ability, the up-regulation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling mediated apoptosis and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) signaling mediated disruption of tight junctions (TJs). Taken together, current study firstly demonstrated that VA deficiency decreased the immune function and damaged the structural integrity of the head kidney and spleen in fish.

Antibacterial and immunoregulatory activity of a novel hepcidin homologue in diploid hybrid fish (Carassius auratus cuvieri ♀ × Carassius auratus red var ♂). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 98:551-563.

Abstract
Hepcidin, a multifunctional hormone oligopeptide, not only exhibits a regulatory role in iron metabolism, but also participates in the regulation of teleostean immunity. In this study, ORF sequence of WR-hepcidin was 258 bp and encoded 85 amino acid residues. Tissue-specific analysis revealed that the highest expression of WR-hepcidin was observed in liver. Aeromonas hydrophila challenge can sharply increased WR-hepcidin mRNA expression in liver, trunk kidney and spleen. The purified WR-hepcidin fusion peptide can directly bind to A. hydrophila and Streptococcus agalactiae, reduce the relative bacterial activity, limit bacterial growth and attenuate their dissemination to tissues in vivo. In addition, the treatment of WR-hepcidin fusion protein can diminish the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results indicated that WR-hepcidin can play a negative regulatory role in bacteria-stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokines production and MyD88-IRAK4 activation.

Abstract
LEAP-2, a multifunctional peptide, not only exhibits a regulatory role in pathogenic infection, but also participates in the regulation of teleostean immunity. In this study, ORF sequence of WR-LEAP-2 was 240 bp and encoded 79 amino acid residues. Tissue-specific analysis revealed that the highest expression of WR-LEAP-2 was observed in liver. Aeromonas hydrophila challenge can sharply increase WR-LEAP-2 mRNA expression in liver, kidney and spleen. The purified WR-LEAP-2 peptide can directly bind to A. hydrophila and S. agalactiae, reduce the relative bacterial activity and limit bacterial growth in vitro. In addition, the treatment of WR-LEAP-2 can restrict bacterial dissemination in vivo and reduce production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results indicated that WR-LEAP-2 can confer protection against A. hydrophila- or S. agalactiae-stimulated MyD88-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokines activation.

Abstract
Hybrid genotypes in fish may be less susceptible to pathogenic infection. ITLN, a novel lectin, not only exhibits a regulatory role in pathogenic infection, but also participates in the regulation of teleostean immunity. In this study, ORF sequence of WR-ITLN was 945 bp and encoded 314 amino acid residues. Tissue-specific analysis revealed that the highest expression of WR-ITLN was observed in liver. Aeromonas hydrophila challenge can sharply increased WR-ITLN mRNA expression in liver, kidney and spleen. The purified WR-ITLN protein can directly bind to A. hydrophila and S. agalactiae, reduce their relative bacterial activity and limit bacterial growth in vitro in the presence of Ca2+. In addition, the treatment of WR-ITLN + Ca2+ can restrict bacterial dissemination in vivo and attenuate production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results indicated that WR-ITLN can confer protection against bacteria-stimulated MyD88-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokines activation in a Ca2+-dependent manner.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) on growth performance, non-specific immunity, expression of some immune-related genes and resistance to Vibrio harveyi in juvenile hybrid grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ Epinephelus lanceolatu). Six isoproteic and isolipidic experimental diets were formulated with graded levels of n-3 HUFA (0.65, 1.00, 1.35, 1.70, 2.05 and 2.40% of dry matter, respectively), and the 0.65% group was used as control group. Each diet was randomly allocated to triplicate groups of fish in 1000 L fiberglass tank, and each tank was stocked with 40 fish (initial weight 12.06 ± 0.01 g) for 8 weeks. Results showed that feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival rate (SR), hepatosomatic index (HSI) and condition factor (CF) were all not significantly affected by dietary n-3 HUFA levels (P > 0.05). Weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) in 1.35% group were significantly higher than those in 2.40% group (P < 0.05). Crude lipid of body in 1.00% group was significantly lower than that in 1.70% and 2.40% groups (P < 0.05). Liver and muscle fatty acid profiles reflected that of diets. Before challenge with Vibrio harveyi, the activity of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and content of complement 3 (C3) in 1.35% and 1.70% groups significantly higher than those of control group (P < 0.05). After challenge with Vibrio harveyi, serum CAT, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), lysozyme (LZM) and C3 all increased sharply, while SOD showed the opposite trend. Before challenge with Vibrio harveyi, the expression levels of intestine toll-like receptor 22 (TLR22) and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) mRNA in 2.40% group were significantly increased, and the expression levels of tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) mRNA in 2.05% group were significantly higher than those in 1.00% and 1.35% groups (P < 0.05). In addition, the TLR22 and IL-1β mRNA levels in kidney of 1.70% group were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). After challenge with Vibrio harveyi, the expression level of MyD88 mRNA in intestine of 1.35% group was significantly higher than that in 1.00% group and from 1.70% to 2.40% groups (P < 0.05), while TNF-α and IL-1β obtained minimum values in 1.70% group. In the kidney, the interleukin 10 (IL10) mRNA expression was significantly higher in 1.70% group than that in other groups, while the IL-1β expression in 1.70% group was on the contrary and significantly lower than that in 2.40% group (P < 0.05). Results of this study suggested that moderate dietary n-3 HUFA (1.47%-1.70% HUFA) could improve the growth performance, non-specific immunity and inhibit the inflammatory response of hybrid grouper.

Abstract
This study investigated protective effects of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) inclusion on growth performance, intestinal oxidative status, and barrier integrity of cyclic heat-stressed broilers. A total of 240 one-day-old chicks were allocated into 3 treatments of 10 replicates each. Control broilers reared at a thermoneutral temperature were fed a basal diet, whereas broilers in heat stress and MOS groups raised at a cyclic high temperature (32 to 33°C for 8 h/d) were given the basal diet supplemented with 0 or 250 mg/kg MOS, respectively. Compared with control group, heat stress decreased (P < 0.05) average daily gain and feed conversion ratio during grower, finisher, and entire periods, average daily feed intake during finisher and entire periods, and ileal superoxide dismutase activity at 42 D, whereas increased (P < 0.05) rectal temperature at 21 and 42 D and jejunal malondialdehyde content at 42 D. Dietary MOS increased (P < 0.05) average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and feed conversion ratio during finisher and entire periods, but decreased (P < 0.05) jejunal malondialdehyde concentration of heat-stressed broilers at 42 D. Heat stress decreased (P < 0.05) jejunal villus height (VH) and claudin-3 gene expression at 21 D, and VH and VH: crypt depth (CD) ratio in jejunum and ileum as well as mRNA abundances of jejunal mucin 2 and occludin, and ileal mucin 2, zonula occludens-1, and occludin, and claudin-3 at 42 D, whereas increased (P < 0.05) serum D-lactate acid content at 21 and 42 D, and serum diamine oxidase activity and jejunal CD at 42 D. The MOS supplementation increased (P < 0.05) jejunal VH at 21 D, VH and VH: CD of jejunum and ileum at 42 D, mRNA abundances of jejunal occludin and ileal mucin 2, zonula occludens-1, and occludin at 42 D, whereas reduced (P < 0.05) ileal CD at 42 D. These results suggested that MOS improved growth performance, and oxidative status and barrier integrity in the intestine of broilers under cyclic heat stress.

Abstract
Skin plays an important role in the innate immune responses of fish, particularly towards bacterial infection. To understand the molecular mechanism of mucosal immunity of fish during bacterial challenge, a de novo transcriptome assembly of crucian carp Carassius auratus skin upon Aeromonas hydrophila infection was performed, the latter with Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform. A total of 118111 unigenes were generated and of these, 9693 and 8580 genes were differentially expressed at 6 and 12 h post-infection, respectively. The validity of the transcriptome results of eleven representative genes was verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. A comparison with the transcriptome profiling of zebrafish skin to A. hydrophila with regards to the mucosal immune responses revealed similarities in the complement system, chemokines, heat shock proteins and the acute-phase response. GO and KEGG enrichment pathway analyses displayed the significant immune responses included TLR, MAPK, JAK-STAT, phagosome and three infection-related pathways (ie., Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae and pathogenic Escherichia coli) in skin. To our knowledge, this study is the first to describe the transcriptome analysis of C. auratus skin during A. hydrophila infection. The outcome of this study contributed to the understanding of the mucosal defense mechanisms in cyprinid species.

Abstract
This trial was conducted to investigate the effect of mannose oligosaccharides (MOS) on the growth performance, antioxidation, immunity and disease resistance of Vibro Parahemolyticus in juvenile abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino. Four formulated diets were produced to contain 0.00 g/kg, 0.40 g/kg, 0.80 g/kg and 1.60 g/kg Actigen®, with functional ingredients of MOS, respectively. Accordingly, the experimental diets were named as A0, A4, A8 and A16. After 120-days feeding trial, the best growth performance was observed in A8 group (P < 0.05) and there was no significant difference in A0, A4 and A16 groups. With the increase of dietary MOS, the activity of the total antioxidant capacity in hepatopancreas is increasingly elevated (P < 0.05) while no significant difference was observed on activity of glutathione S-transferase (P > 0.05). The activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were firstly increased and then decreased, with the highest values in A8 group (P < 0.05). Immune-related parameters were significantly affected by dietary MOS inclusion. Specifically, the activities of alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in hepatopancreas and serum of abalone fed diets containing MOS were significantly higher than those of control A0 group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the highest values of both enzymes were observed in hepatopancreas of A8 group but in serum of A16 group, respectively. The lysozyme activities in hepatopancreas and serum of A4 group were significantly higher than those of other groups (P < 0.05) and there was no significant difference in A0, A8 and A16 groups (P > 0.05). The activities of cytophagy and respiratory burst in serum of abalone were not significantly affected by dietary MOS content (P > 0.05). The mRNA levels of focal adhesion kinase and integrin-linked kinase were gradually elevated with the increase of dietary MOS, with the highest value recorded in A16 group (P < 0.05). The gene expression of caspse-3 in A8 group was dramatically higher than those of other groups (P < 0.05) and there was no significant difference in A0, A4 and A16 groups (P > 0.05). The mRNA level of nuclear factor-κB was not significantly affected by dietary MOS (P > 0.05). During 56 h of V. Parahemolyticus challenge period, the accumulated mortality rate of abalone fed diets containing MOS were significantly lower than that of control A0 group in each time point (P < 0.05). Overall, the lowest rate was happened in A8 group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, MOS inclusion in diet has obviously positive effect on growth, immunity and disease resistance capability of abalone, with the optimal level of Actigen® at 0.80 g/kg in diet.

[PMID: 31623222 PMCID: PMC6827142 DOI: 10.3390/ani9100817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2019] [Revised: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) can be used in poultry production to modulate immunity and improve growth performance. So, we hypothesized that our enzymatic MOS could achieve the same effects in broilers. To investigate this, a total of 192 one-day-old Partridge Shank chickens were allocated to four dietary treatments consisting of six replicates with eight chicks per replicate, and they were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g MOS per kg of diet(g/kg) for42 days. Treatments did not affect the growth performance of chickens. Dietary MOS linearly increased the relative weight of the bursa of Fabricius and jejunal immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) content, whereas it linearly decreased cecal Salmonella colonies at 21 days (p < 0.05). The concentration of jejunal secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) and IgG at 42 days as well as ileal sIgA, IgG, and IgM at 21 and 42 days were quadratically enhanced by MOS supplementation (p < 0.05). Also, chickens fed MOS exhibited linear and quadratic reduction in jejunal malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation (p < 0.05). In conclusion, this enzymatic MOS can improve the immune function and intestinal oxidative status of Partridge Shank chickens.

Abstract
Aeromonas veronii is a conditional pathogen causing high mortality in many freshwater fish species worldwide. Bacterial ghosts are nonliving Gram-negative bacteria devoid of cytoplasmic contents, which induce protective immunity against microbial pathogens. The aims of this study were: a) to produce A. veronii ghost (AVG) constructed by PhiX174 gene E; b) to evaluate the specific, non-specific immune effects and protective immunity of AVG against A. veronii in koi. The lysis plasmid pBBR-E was constructed by cloning PhiX174 gene E into the broad-host-range vector pBBR1MCS2, and then transformed into A. veronii 7231. AVG was generated by increasing the incubation temperature up to 42 °C. Lysis of A. veronii occurred 3 h after temperature induction and completed in 12 h. The efficiency of ghost induction was 99.9998 ± 0.0002%. Koi were immunized intraperitoneally with AVG, formalin-killed bacteria (FKC) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) respectively, and then respiratory burst (RB), myeloperoxidase (MPO), lysozyme (LZM), malondialdehyde (MDA), complement 3 (C3) and antibody activities were examined in serum. Compared with negative control of PBS, the RB, MPO, LZM activities were significantly higher in koi immunized with AVG (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, the MDA activities of AVG treatment were significantly lower than those of PBS treatment (P < 0.05). The serum agglutination titers and IgM antibody titers in AVG group were significantly higher than those in FKC or PBS groups. After challenged with the parent strain A. veronii 7231, the average mortality of AVG group was significantly lower than that of FKC and PBS groups (P < 0.05) and the relative percent survival (RPS) of AVG group (73.92%) was higher than that of FKC group (43.48%). Therefore, AVG have the potential to induce protective immunity and they may be ideal vaccine candidates against A. veronii in koi.

Deoxynivalenol decreased intestinal immune function related to NF-κB and TOR signalling in juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 84:470-484. [PMID: 30339843 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.10.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2018] [Revised: 10/04/2018] [Accepted: 10/15/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most common mycotoxins in animal feed worldwide and causes significant threats to the animal production. The intestine is an important mucosal immune organ in teleost, and it is also the first target for feed-borne toxicants in animal. However, studies concerning the effect of DON on fish intestine are scarce. This study explored the effects of DON on intestinal immune function in juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 1440 juvenile grass carp (12.17 ± 0.01 g) were fed six diets containing graded levels of DON (27, 318, 636, 922, 1243 and 1515 μg/kg diet) for 60 days. After the growth trial, fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. The results were analysed by the Duncan's multiple-range test (P < 0.05), indicating that compared with the control group (27 μg/kg diet), dietary DON levels up to 318 μg/kg diet: (1) decreased lysozyme (LZ) and acid phosphatase (ACP) activities, as well as complement 3 (C3), C4 and immunoglobulin M (IgM) content in the proximal intestine (PI), middle intestine (MI) and distal intestine (DI) of juvenile grass carp (P < 0.05); (2) down-regulated the mRNA levels of anti-microbial substance: liver expressed antimicrobial peptide (LEAP) -2A, LEAP-2B, hepcidin, β-defensin-1 and mucin2 in the PI, MI and DI of juvenile grass carp (P < 0.05); (3) up-regulated the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin 1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interferon γ2 (INF-γ2), IL-6 (only in PI), IL-8, IL-12p35, IL-12p40, IL-15 and IL-17D] in the PI, MI and DI of juvenile grass carp (P < 0.05), which might be partly related to nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signalling [IκB kinase β (IKKβ) and IKKγ/inhibitor of κBα (IκBα)/NF-κB (p65 and c-Rel)]; and (4) down-regulated the mRNA levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines [IL-10, IL-11, IL-4/13A (not IL-4/13B), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) (not TGF-β2)] in the PI, MI and DI of juvenile grass carp (P < 0.05), which might be partly related to target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling [TOR/ribosomal protein S6 kinases 1 (S6K1) and eIF4E-binding proteins (4E-BP)]. All data indicated that DON could impair the intestinal immune function, and its potential regulation mechanisms were partly associated with NF-κB and TOR signalling pathways. Finally, based on the enteritis morbidity, and the LZ and ACP activities as well as IgM content in the PI, the reasonable dose of DON for grass carp were estimated to be 251.66, 305.83, 252.34 and 309.94 μg/kg diet, respectively.

Abstract
Hemorrhage syndrome is one of the most prevalent and epidemic diseases that is mainly caused by Aeromonas hydrophila invasion in Megalobrama amblycephala. Recent studies have uncovered a number of immune enzymes and transcripts that are differently expressed in this disease, but the molecular mechanism elicited still remain largely unknown. Here, we constructed an in vivo A. hydrophila infection to investigate the immune mechanism in M. amblycephala using comparative proteomic approach at the one day after infection. 30 altered protein spots were found to undergo differential expression against A. hydrophila infection in the hepatopancreas of M. amblycephala based on 2-DE and were all successfully identified using MALDI-TOF/TOF, representing 18 unique proteins. These proteins were functionally classified into metabolism, antioxidant, cofactors and vitamins, chaperone and signal transduction. Network interaction and Gene Ontology annotation indicated 13 unique proteins were closely related to immune response and directly regulated by each other. Compared with the control group, A. hydrophila infection significantly decreased the metabolism-related mRNA expressions of ENO3, APOA1, CAT and FASN, but increased the mRNA expressions of MDH, ALDOB and RSP12, which was consistent with the protein expression. Nevertheless, FAH was down-regulated at both levels but had no significant difference in mRNA level, ALDH8a1 was down-regulated at protein level but non-significantly up-regulated at the mRNA level. GSTm was up-regulated at protein level but down-regulated at the mRNA level. Consequently, these results revealed that A. hydrophila infection altered the related antioxidative proteins via complex regulatory mechanisms and reduced the immune ability of M. amblycephala at the one day after infection.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2018; 81:318-328.

Abstract
Cottonseed protein concentrate (CPC) has similar amino acid composition compared with fish meal, and has the characteristics of low gossypol and low toxicity. The present study was conducted to investigate the growth performance, antioxidant capacity and different intestinal segments immune responses of hybrid grouper to replacement dietary fish meal ofCPC. Six iso-nitrogenous (50% crude protein) and iso-lipidic (10% crude lipid) diets were formulated: a reference diet (FM) containing 60% fishmeal and five experimental diets (12%, 24%, 36%, 48 and 60%) in which fishmeal protein was substituted at different levels by CPC to feed fish (initial body weight: 11 ± 0.23 g) for 8 weeks. Thena challenge test with injection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was conducted for 7 days until the fish stabilized. The results showed that specific growth rate (SGR) was the highest with 24% replacement level and feed conversion ratio (FCR)was significantly increased when the replacement level reached 48% (P < 0.05). The content of malonaldehyde (MDA) in the serum was significantly increased when the replacement level reached 36% (P < 0.05). The plica height in the proximal, mid and distal intestine were significantly decreased with the replacement level up to 48% (P < 0.05). Hepatic fat deposition wasaggravatedwhen the replacement level reached 36% (P < 0.05). The expression of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β mRNAs were significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). The hepcidin mRNA expression was significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05). In proximal intestine (PI) and mid intestine (MI), IFN-γ mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). These results suggested that the CPC decreased hybrid grouper growth performance and inflammation function, and different inflammation function responses in PI,MI, and distal intestine (DI) were mediated partly by the TLR-2/MyD88 signaling pathway. According to the analysis of specific growth rate, the dietary optimum replacement level and maximum replacement level were estimated to be 17% and 34%, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of dietary myo-inositol on the intestinal immune barrier function and related signaling pathway in young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 540 young grass carp (221.33 ± 0.84 g) were fed six diets containing graded levels of myo-inositol (27.0, 137.9, 286.8, 438.6, 587.7 and 737.3 mg/kg) for 10 weeks. After the growth trial, fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. The results indicated that compared with the optimal dietary myo-inositol level, myo-inositol deficiency (27.0 mg/kg diet): (1) decreased lysozyme (LZ) and acid phosphatase (ACP) activities, as well as complement 3 (C3), C4 and immunoglobulin M (IgM) contents in the proximal intestine (PI), middle intestine (MI) and distal intestine (DI) of young grass carp (P < 0.05). (2) down-regulated the mRNA levels of anti-microbial substance: liver expressed antimicrobial peptide (LEAP) 2A, LEAP-2B, hepcidin, β-defensin-1 and mucin2 in the PI, MI and DI of young grass carp (P < 0.05). (3) up-regulated pro-inflammatory cytokines [IL-1β (not in DI), TNF-α and IL-8], nuclear factor kappa B P65 (not NF-κB P52), c-Rel, IκB kinaseα (IKKα), IKKβ and IKKγ mRNA levels in the PI, MI and DI of young grass carp (P < 0.05); and down-regulated pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-15 (not in DI) and inhibitor of κBα (IκBα) mRNA levels (P < 0.05). (4) down-regulated the mRNA levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines [IL-10 (not in DI), IL-11, IL-4/13B (not IL-4/13A), TGF-β1 and TGF-β2], target of rapamycin (TOR), eIF4E-binding proteins 1 (4E-BP1) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6k1) in the PI, MI and DI of young grass carp (P < 0.05). All data indicated that myo-inositol deficiency could decrease fish intestine immunity and cause inflammation under infection of A. hydrophila. Finally, the optimal dietary myo-inositol levels for the ACP and LZ activities in the DI were estimated to be 415.1 and 296.9 mg/kg diet, respectively.

Abstract
In aquaculture, the occurrence of enteritis has increased and dietary nutrition is considered as one of the major strategies to solve this problem. In the present study, we assume that dietary phosphorus might enhance intestinal immune barrier and physical barrier function to reduce the occurrence of enteritis in fish. To test this assumption, a total of 540 grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were investigated by feeding graded levels of available phosphorus (0.95-8.75 g/kg diet) and then infection with Aeromonas hydrophila. The results firstly showed that phosphorus deficiency decreased the ability to combat enteritis, which might be related to the impairment of intestinal immune barrier and physical barrier function. Compared with optimal phosphorus level, phosphorus deficiency decreased fish intestinal antimicrobial substances activities or contents and down-regulated antimicrobial peptides mRNA levels leading to the impairment of intestinal immune response. Phosphorus deficiency down-regulated fish intestinal anti-inflammatory cytokines mRNA levels and up-regulated the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines [except IL-1β and IL-12p35 in distal intestine (DI) and IL-12p40] causing aggravated of intestinal inflammatory responses, which might be related to the signalling molecules target of rapamycin and nuclear factor kappa B. In addition, phosphorus deficiency disturbed fish intestinal tight junction function and induced cell apoptosis as well as oxidative damage leading to impaired of fish intestinal physical barrier function, which might be partially associated with the signalling molecules myosin light chain kinase, c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase and NF-E2-related factor 2, respectively. Finally, based on the ability to combat enteritis, dietary available phosphorus requirement for grass carp (254.56-898.23 g) was estimated to be 4.68 g/kg diet.

Effect of Dietary Acidolysis-Oxidized Konjac Glucomannan Supplementation on Serum Immune Parameters and Intestinal Immune-Related Gene Expression of Schizothorax prenanti. Int J Mol Sci 2017; 18:E2558. [PMID: 29182557 PMCID: PMC5751161 DOI: 10.3390/ijms18122558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2017] [Revised: 11/22/2017] [Accepted: 11/26/2017] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary acidolysis-oxidized konjac glucomannan (A-OKGM) (0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, and 1.6%) supplementation on the immunity and expression of immune-related genes in Schizothorax prenanti. After feeding for eight weeks, the serum and guts were used for measurement of biochemical parameters, and immune-related gene expression in the gut were also analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). C-reactive protein and IgM levels were significantly higher in the A-OKGM fed groups than in the control group, regardless of the dosage. The 0.4% and 1.6% A-OKGM groups showed significant up-regulation of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) in the anterior gut. The 0.8% and 1.6% A-OKGM groups also showed significantly enhanced TNFα expression in the mid- and distal guts. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) expression in the anterior gut of fish fed with 0.4% and 1.6% A-OKGM diets was significantly enhanced. The 0.8% and 1.6% A-OKGM diets resulted in significantly increased the expression of IL-1β in the distal gut. Similarly, the interleukin-6 (IL-6) messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in the 0.4% and 1.6% diet groups were significantly higher in the anterior gut. The 0.8% and 1.6% A-OKGM diet groups showed significant induction of IL-6 gene expression in the distal gut. A-OKGM modified from KGM can act as an immunostimulant to enhance the immunity of S. prenanti.

Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is the causative agent of bacterial septicemia that is frequently observed in grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus. In this study, we evaluated the biological parameters and immune enzymes in the liver of grass carp following A. hydrophila infection and quantified the alterations in liver histology using a semi-quantitative system. For the biological parameters, we found that the liver somatic index (LSI) was more sensitive than Fulton's condition factor (CF) and was significantly decreased at three days post-injection (DPI). At the immune enzyme level, the level of peroxidase (POD) in the liver significantly increased at 1 and 3 DPI. The activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) significantly increased at 3 DPI. Similarly, acid phosphatase (ACP) activity significantly increased at 1, 3, and 5 DPI. Histologically, the results indicated that the liver index at 3, 5, and 7 DPI was significantly higher than that of control groups. The regressive alterations as the highly variable reactions patterns and its index at 5 DPI was significantly higher than that of 1, 21 DPI, and the control groups. Based on our results, we suggest that grass carp resist A. hydrophila infection via an innate immune mechanism in the liver. The findings of this study will help elucidate the underlying mechanisms of resistance to A. hydrophila infection.

Dietary pyridoxine deficiency reduced growth performance and impaired intestinal immune function associated with TOR and NF-κB signalling of young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2017; 70:682-700. [PMID: 28951222 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2017.09.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2017] [Revised: 09/15/2017] [Accepted: 09/22/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary pyridoxine (PN) deficiency on growth performance, intestinal immune function and the potential regulation mechanisms in young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Fish were fed six diets containing graded levels of PN (0.12-7.48 mg/kg) for 70 days. After that, a challenge test was conducted by infection of Aeromonas hydrophila for 14 days. The results showed that compared with the optimal PN level, PN deficiency: (1) reduced the production of innate immune components such as lysozyme (LZ), acid phosphatase (ACP), complements and antimicrobial peptides and adaptive immune components such as immunoglobulins in three intestinal segments of young grass carp (P < 0.05); (2) down-regulated the mRNA levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), interleukin 4/13A (IL-4/13A) (rather than IL-4/13B), IL-10 and IL-11 partly relating to target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling [TOR/ribosomal protein S6 kinases 1 (S6K1) and eIF4E-binding proteins (4E-BP)] in three intestinal segments of young grass carp; (3) up-regulated the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) [not in the proximal intestine (PI) and distal intestine (DI)], IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p35, IL-12p40, IL-15 and IL-17D [(rather than interferon γ2 (IFN-γ2)] partly relating to nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signalling [IκB kinase β (IKKβ) and IKKγ/inhibitor of κBα (IκBα)/NF-κB (p65 and c-Rel)] in three intestinal segments of young grass carp. These results suggest that PN deficiency could impair the intestinal immune function, and the potential regulation mechanisms were partly associated with TOR and NF-κB signalling pathways. In addition, based on percent weight gain (PWG), the ability against enteritis and LZ activity, the dietary PN requirements for young grass carp were estimated to be 4.43, 4.75 and 5.07 mg/kg diet, respectively.
