FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 153:109808. [PMID: 39102968 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
Selenium (Se), a trace element, is vital for the maintenance of cellular redox balance, thyroid hormone metabolism, inflammation, and immunity. Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) is a common Gram-negative conditional pathogenic bacterium in fish culture, posing a serious threat to intensive aquaculture. Our study investigated the influence of dietary Se on the intestinal immune function of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and the related regulatory mechanisms. The 2160 healthy juvenile grass carp (9.76 ± 0.005 g) were randomly assigned to 6 test groups of 6 replicates each, and fed graded selenomethionine (0.05, 0.20, 0.40, 0.61, 0.77, 0.98 mg Se/kg diet) for 70 days and then injected with A. hydrophila for a 6-day attack test. The results indicated that appropriate Se levels (0.40 mg/kg diet) alleviated intestinal damage caused by A. hydrophila and increased intestinal immune substances C3 and C4 levels as well as the activity of acid phosphatase (ACP) and lysozyme (LZ) (P > 0.05). Appropriate levels of Se (0.40 mg/kg-0.61 mg/kg diet) decreased intestinal pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ2, IL-6, IL-12p35, IL-17 A F and IL-17D) mRNA levels (P > 0.05) and increased intestinal anti-inflammatory factors (TGF-β1, IL-4/13A, IL-4/13B, IL-10 and IL-22) mRNA levels (P > 0.05) in juvenile grass carp. Further studies revealed that Se (0.40 mg/kg-0.61 mg/kg diet) inhibited intestinal endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related signaling pathway. Furthermore, we found that appropriate levels of Se (0.40 mg/kg-0.61 mg/kg diet) inhibited intestinal autophagy in juvenile grass carp, which may be related to ULK1, Beclin 1, ATG5, ATG12, LC3, and P62. In conclusion, appropriate levels of Se can alleviate intestinal inflammation and inhibit ERS and autophagy in juvenile grass carp. A quadratic regression analysis of intestinal ACP and LZ also indicated that the Se requirements of juvenile grass carp were 0.59 and 0.51 mg/kg, respectively.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities have led to increased levels of contaminants that pose significant threats to aquatic organisms, particularly fishes. One such contaminant is Selenium (Se), a metalloid which is released by various industrial activities including mining and fossil fuel combustion. Selenium is crucial for various physiological functions, however it can bioaccumulate and become toxic at elevated concentrations. Given that fishes are key predators in aquatic ecosystems and a major protein source for humans, Se accumulation raises considerable ecological and food safety concerns. Selenium induces toxicity at the cellular level by disrupting the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant capacity leading to oxidative damage. Chronic exposure to elevated Se impairs a wide range of critical physiological functions including metabolism, growth and reproduction. Selenium is also a potent teratogen and induces various types of adverse developmental effects in fishes, mainly due to its maternal transfer to the eggs. Moreover, that can persist across generations. Furthermore, Se-induced oxidative stress in the brain is a major driver of its neurotoxicity, which leads to impairment of several ecologically important behaviours in fishes including cognition and memory functions, social preference and interactions, and anxiety response. Our review provides an up-to-date and in-depth analysis of the various adverse physiological effects of Se in fishes, while identifying knowledge gaps that need to be addressed in future research for greater insights into the impact of Se in aquatic ecosystems.

Effects of Dietary Bio-Fermented Selenium Supplementation on Growth, Immune Performance, and Intestinal Microflora of Chinese Mitten Crabs, Eriocheir sinensis. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:9219. [PMID: 39273167 PMCID: PMC11394762 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25179219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Selenium is a vital trace mineral that is crucial for maintaining regular biological processes in aquatic animals. In this study, a four-week dietary trial was carried out to assess the impact of bio-fermented selenium (Bio-Se) on the growth and immune response of Chinese mitten crabs, Eriocheir sinensis. The crabs were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment groups, each receiving a different dose of Bio-Se. The doses included 0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/kg and were accurately measured in basal diet formulations. The results showed the weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), and survival rate (SR) in the 1.5 mg/kg Bio-Se group were the highest, and 3.0 mg/kg of Bio-Se has an inhibitory effect on the WGR, SGR, and SR. The activities of the immune enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and acid phosphatase (ACP), of the hepatopancreas were significantly (p < 0.05) increased in the 1.5 mg/kg Bio-Se group, while they decreased (p < 0.05) in the 3.0 mg/kg feeding group compared to the 0 mg/kg feeding group. The concentration of maleic dialdehyde (MDA) exhibited the opposite pattern. Similarly, the mRNA expression levels of antimicrobial peptides (ALF-1, Crus-1, and LYS), ERK, and Relish genes were also observed to be the highest in the 1.5 mg/kg Bio-Se group compared with the other groups. Furthermore, the administration of 1.5 mg/kg of Bio-Se resulted in an increase in the thickness of the intestinal plica and mucosal layer, as well as in alterations in the intestinal microbial profile and bacterial diversity compared to the dose of 0 mg/kg of Bio-Se. Notably, the population of the beneficial bacterial phylum Fusobacteria was increased after crabs were fed the 1.5 mg/kg Bio-Se diet. In conclusion, the oral administration of 1.5 mg/kg of Bio-Se improved the growth efficiency, antioxidant capabilities, immunity, and intestinal health of E. sinensis. Through a broken-line analysis of the WGR against dietary Bio-Se levels, optimal dietary Bio-Se levels were determined to be 1.1 mg/kg. These findings contribute valuable insights to the understanding of crab cultivation and nutrition.

Abstract
The lactic acid bacteria, including Latilactobacillus sakei and Latilactobacillus curvatus, have been widely studied for their preventive and therapeutic effects. In this study, the underlying mechanism of action for the antioxidant and immunostimulatory effects of two strains of heat-treated paraprobiotics was examined. Heat-treated L. sakei KU15041 and L. curvatus KU15003 showed higher radical scavenging activity in both the 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assays than the commercial probiotic strain LGG. In addition, treatment with these two strains exhibited immunostimulatory effects in RAW 264.7 macrophages, with L. curvatus KU15003 showing a slightly higher effect. Additionally, they promoted phagocytosis and NO production in RAW 264.7 cells without any cytotoxicity. Moreover, the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 was upregulated. These strains resulted in an increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2. Moreover, the nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways were stimulated by these strains. These findings suggest the potential of using L. sakei KU15041 and L. curvatus KU15003 in food or by themselves as probiotics with antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties.

Abstract
A 60-day study was carried out to determine the effect of dietary selenium nanoparticles (SeNP) on growth, digestive enzymes, and health status of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer, 46.5 ± 0.2 g) juveniles reared in high saline water (48 ppt). Five levels of SeNP were added to a basal diet (45% protein, 15% lipid), including control (0), 0.5 (SeNP0.5), 1.0 (SeNP1), 2 (SeNP2), and 4 (SeNP4) mg SeNP kg-1 diet. Fish were stocked into fifteen 2,000 L tanks (50 fish tank-1) filled with 1,800 L sand-filtered seawater (26.5 ± 1.5°C, 48.0 ± 0.2 ppt) in a flow-through system. Each dietary treatment was performed in three replicates. The growth rate positively increased in both linear and quadratic trends with increasing dietary SeNP level (P < 0.05). The liver Se concentration increased with increasing SeNP in diet (P < 0.05). Gut total protease, trypsin, chymotrypsin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lipase, and α-amylase activities were significantly enhanced in the SeNP4 group compared to the other treatments (P < 0.05). Antioxidant capacity improved in fish-fed SeNP2 and SeNP4 diets regarding catalase and superoxide dismutase activities and the liver glutathione content. Serum lysozyme and hemolytic activities and white blood cells' respiratory burst activity in the control were lower than in fish-fed SeNP-supplemented diets. Serum total protein, globulin, and globulin/albumin ratio in fish-fed SeNP1, SeNP2, and SeNP4 diets were higher than the other groups (P < 0.05). The interleukin-10 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor genes' relative transcription levels in the gut of fish-fed SeNP4 were higher than the other groups. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, ALP, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase significantly decreased in fish with increasing SeNP content in the diet. In conclusion, supplementing the diet with 4 mg kg-1, SeNP was recommended to improve growth and health indices in L. calcarifer juveniles reared in high saline water (48 ppt).

Abstract
The neurotransmitter dopamine has been shown to play an important role in modulating behavioral, morphological, and life history responses to food abundance. However, costs of expressing high dopamine levels remain poorly studied and are essential for understanding the evolution of the dopamine system. Negative maternal effects on offspring size from enhanced maternal dopamine levels have previously been documented in Daphnia. Here, we tested whether this translates into fitness costs in terms of lower starvation resistance in offspring. We exposed Daphnia magna mothers to aqueous dopamine (2.3 or 0 mg/L for the control) at two food levels (ad libitum vs. 30% ad libitum) and recorded a range of maternal life history traits. The longevity of their offspring was then quantified in the absence of food. In both control and dopamine treatments, mothers that experienced restricted food ration had lower somatic growth rates and higher age at maturation. Maternal food restriction also resulted in production of larger offspring that had a superior starvation resistance compared to ad libitum groups. However, although dopamine exposed mothers produced smaller offspring than controls at restricted food ration, these smaller offspring survived longer under starvation. Hence, maternal dopamine exposure provided an improved offspring starvation resistance. We discuss the relative importance of proximate and ultimate causes for why D. magna may not evolve toward higher endogenous dopamine levels despite the fitness benefits this appears to have.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) deficiency and excess can lead to protein degradation in fish. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is the main pathway of muscle proteolysis. This study aimed to investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of dietary Se on ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein degradation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The fish were fed with the Se-deficient diet (0 mg/kg, DSe), Se-adequate diet (4 mg/kg, ASe), and Se-excessive diet (16 mg/kg, ESe), respectively. After a 10-week feeding trial, the growth performance, body composition, antioxidant enzyme activities, and UPS-related gene and protein expressions were detected. Results indicated that DSe and ESe diets significantly decreased the weight gain rate, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, and muscle crude protein content compared with ASe diet. The histological analysis showed that the mean diameter of muscle fibers was significantly decreased in DSe and ESe groups. And DSe and ESe diets significantly increased the contents of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide, but reduced the glutathione peroxidase activity. Additionally, the abundance of muscle ubiquitinated proteins and the expression levels of MuRF1 and Atrogin-1 were significantly increased in DSe and ESe groups. Compared to ASe diet, DSe and ESe diets significantly decreased the phosphorylation level of Akt Ser473 and the ratio of p-FoxO3a/FoxO3a, but significantly increased the phosphorylation level of IκBα and upregulated the expressions of TNF-α, IL-8, and NF-κB. Overall, this study indicated that dietary Se deficiency and excess accelerated the ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein degradation through regulating Akt/FoxO3a and NF-κB signaling pathways in rainbow trout.

[PMID: 34958921 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2021.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sources and levels of selenium (Se) on juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A completely randomized design involving a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments was used in this study. Organic Se (L-selenomethionine; SeMet) and inorganic Se (sodium selenite; Na2SeO3) were each added to the basal diet at 1, 3 and 5 mg Se/kg. The basal diet, without Se supplementation, was used as a control. There was a total of 7 experimental diets, and each was fed in triplicate to groups of fish with an initial average body weight of 13.5 g for 8 weeks. The results showed that growth performance was significantly affected by dietary sources and levels of Se (P < 0.05). Fish fed diets supplemented with SeMet of 1.0 mg Se/kg resulted in higher growth performance compared to basal diet (P < 0.05), but Na2SeO3 supplementation did not affect growth. The feed conversion ratio was significantly decreased as dietary sources of SeMet (P < 0.05). Interestingly, fish fed diets supplemented with both forms of Se had lower cholesterol levels than those fed the basal diet (P < 0.05). Moreover, dietary sources and levels of Se significantly increased (P < 0.05) the antioxidant enzyme activities such as lysozyme, catalase, myeloperoxidase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Dietary sources and levels of Se significantly could enhance the Nile tilapia resistance against Streptococcusagalactiae infection (P < 0.05). Overall, it can be concluded that the inclusion level of 1.0 mg Se/kg of organic Se in the diet is suggested to be the optimal level for the growth performance and immune response of Nile tilapia. Therefore, dietary supplementation with Se is useful for improving growth, antioxidant status, immune response, and disease resistance.

Effects of hydroxy-selenomethionine on performance, innate immune system and antioxidant defense of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) exposed to a physical stressor. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 121:362-369. [PMID: 34986397 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2021.12.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Revised: 12/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a mineral with natural antioxidant properties that constitutes a number of enzymes with a fundamental role in the immunity and antioxidant systems and may confer a protective role against oxidative stress in fish following exposure to physical stressors. Adopting an integrated approach, this study investigated simultaneously the role of hydroxy-selenomethionine (OH-SeMet) supplementation in performance, hematological parameters, innate immune, antioxidant capacity and tissue Se retention of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) and the possible protective role of dietary selenium when fish are exposed to a physical stressor (transport). Juvenile specimens (15.71 ± 1.90 g) were fed one of five diets: a basal unsupplemented diet (0.0 mg kg-1 Se) or diets supplemented with OH-SeMet to provide 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 mg kg-1 Se of diet for 75 days prior to subjection of fish to transport stress. Dietary supplementation with Se in the form of OH-SeMet for 75 days did not affect the production performance of juvenile tambaqui, but increased innate immunity parameters (oxidative burst) from the Se inclusion level of 0.6 mg kg-1 and induced the activation of the antioxidant defense system (GPX, GSH and GST) especially at the Se inclusion level of 0.9 mg kg-1. In addition, the Se content in the fillet rose significantly, as the OH-SeMet contents in the diet were increased. The stress caused by transport resulted in alterations in hematological parameters, blood protein profile and immune and enzymatic responses in the species. However, Se supplementation at 0.9 mg kg-1 had a positive effect, increasing innate immunity and activating antioxidant defenses (CAT and GPx, especially) after this physical stressor was applied. These results demonstrate that, when submitted to transport stress, juvenile tambaqui use Se stored in the muscle and dietary supplementation with OH-SeMet at 0.9 mg kg-1 improves the innate immunity and antioxidant system parameters of fish after transport. These findings reinforce the need for supplementing hydroxy-selenomethionine in commercial diets for tambaqui to ensure tissue Se reserves as a contingency in cases of stress.

Abstract
Abstract
The concept of probiotics is widely applied in the field of aquaculture for their beneficial and friendly influences. In this sense, the role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the growth, immune and antioxidative responses of European seabass was tested in this study. Fish were distributed in 3 groups (triplicates) with ten fish in each replicate and fed 0, 1, and 2 g/kg of S. cerevisiae (15×109 CFU/g) for 90 days. Fish fed S. cerevisiae showed higher final body, weight gain, and specific growth rate as well as lower FCR than fish fed the basal diet (P<0.05). The RBCs, WBCs, Hb, and PCV values were increased in fish fed dietary S. cerevisiae when compared to the control (P<0.05). The blood total protein, albumin, and globulin were higher in fish fed S. cerevisiae than the control (P<0.05). Fish fed dietary S. cerevisiae had enhanced phagocytic index, phagocytic, and lysozyme activity comparing the control. In a similar sense, the antioxidative enzymes (SOD, GPx, and CAT) were higher in fish fed S. cerevisiae than the control (P<0.05). However, the level of MDA was lowered (P<0.05) by S. cerevisiae in European seabass. Gene expression of IL-8, IL-1β, GH, and IGF-1 was upregulated and HSP70 was downregulated by S. cerevisiae (P<0.05). It can be concluded that European seabass fed S. cerevisiae at 1–2 g/kg (15×109 CFU/g) diet had markedly enhanced growth, haemato-biochemical, and immune performances.

Dietary organic selenium improves growth, serum biochemical indices, immune responses, antioxidative capacity, and modulates transcription of stress-related genes in Nile tilapia reared under sub-optimal temperature. J Therm Biol 2021; 99:102999. [PMID: 34420631 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.102999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
A 56-day feeding experiment was carried out to investigate the influences of dietary organic selenium (OS) on the growth, body composition, serum biochemistry, stress responses, and immune indices of Nile tilapia reared under sub-optimal temperature. Fish (5.61 ± 0.5 g) were allotted in seven experimental groups (5 replicates per each) and fed on a basal diet supplemented with 0.0 (CTR), 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 mg OS/kg diet and reared under temperature ranged 21.50 ± 0.50 °C. Final body weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate were significantly increased in OS groups compared to the CTR group. Moreover, the feed conversion ratio was significantly decreased in OS groups, especially at fish groups fed 0.3-0.6 mg OS/kg diet compared to the other groups. The lowest survival rate (%) was found in OS groups between 0.0 and 0.2 mg/kg diet. A significant increase in the crude protein (%) and dry matter (%) in OS groups alongside a significant decrease in the ash (%) compared to the CTR group. Blood proteins (total protein, albumin, and globulin), reduced glutathione, immunoglobulin M, and complement C3 values alongside the serum lysozyme and catalase activities were significantly increased compared to the CTR group. Contrarywise, serum transaminases (alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase), cortisol, urea, and creatinine values were significantly decreased in OS groups than the CTR group. No significant differences were noticed in the mRNA transcripts of the hepatic heat shock protein 70 among all experimental groups. Meanwhile, significant differences were observed in the mRNA transcripts of hepatic heat shock protein 27, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase genes among all experimental groups. The second order polynomial regressions illustrated that the optimal inclusion OS level in diets for Nile tilapia reared under sub-optimal temperature is 0.36-0.39 mg/kg diet based on weight gain and cortisol levels, respectively. Conclusively, the present study exemplified that dietary inclusion with 0.36-0.39 mg OS/kg diet improved the growth, immunity and modulate the stress responses in Nile tilapia reared under sub-optimal temperature.

Abstract
In the present work, a total 180 monosex male Nile tilapia fingerlings (15.73 ± 0.05 g) were stocked in 150-l FRP tanks categorised into four diet groups with triplicate each and fed with dietary nano-selenium-supplemented diets at different concentration (T1-0, T2-0.5, T3-1.0 and T4-2.0 mg/kg of feed) for 90 days and different nutrition physiological parameters (feed utilization, haematology, serum biochemistry), immune response and antioxidant were analysed during pre- and post-challenge against Aeromonas hydrophila. The study results depicted that significantly (p < 0.05) better growth and feed utilization (absolute weight gain, specific growth rate, average daily gain, protein efficiency ratio, food conversion ratio) found in fish fed diet supplemented with 1 mg/kg of nano-Se. Significantly (p < 0.05) improved haematological (red blood cells, haemoglobin, white blood cells, platelets) and serum biochemical parameters (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides) observed in the same diet group. The same trend was followed by immune parameters (nitro blue tetrazolium, lysozyme activity, myeloperoxidase, total immunoglobulin). Also observed the statistically (p < 0.05) improved antioxidant activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxides, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, malondialdehyde, total antioxidant capacity) in the same diet group. Relative percent survival after the fishes challenged with A. hydrophila was significantly (p < 0.05) differed. The findings suggested that supplementation of 1 mg/kg of dietary nano-Se could able to ameliorate nutrition physiology, immunity, antioxidant activity and disease resistance in tilapia and proved that it may be one of the best element for fish farmers to increase the production in an economically feasible way.

Abstract
The current study investigated the role of selenium (Se) nanoparticles on the growth performance, hemato-biochemical indices, antioxidative, and immune-related genes of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Therefore, fish with initial weight of 20.53 ± 0.10 g/fish were fed diets with 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg Se nanoparticles/kg diet for 90 days. The final body weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate of fish fed dietary nano-Se varying levels were significantly higher than the control with the highest performances and lowest FCR in the group of fish fed nano-Se at 0.5 mg/kg. The values of Hb, PCV, RBCs, and WBCs were significantly higher in fish fed varying levels of Se nanoparticles than fish fed the basal diets. The values of total serum protein and globulin were significantly higher in fish fed varying levels of Se nanoparticles than fish fed the basal diets. Additionally, globulin had higher value in the group of fish fed 0.25 and 0.5 mg nano-Se/kg than fish fed 1 mg nano-Se/kg (P < 0.05). No significant alterations were observed on albumin, ALT, and AST variables (P > 0.05). Phagocytic index, phagocytic, lysozyme activities were significantly higher in fish fed varying levels of Se nanoparticles than fish fed the basal diets in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.05). Further, SOD activity had higher value in the group of fish fed 0.25 and 0.5 mg nano-Se/kg than fish fed 1 mg nano-Se/kg, whereas CAT was increased in the group of fish fed dietary 0.5 mg nano-Se/kg diet (P < 0.05). The level of MDA was significantly lowered by dietary nano-Se where the group of fish fed 0.25 mg/kg had the lowest level followed by those fed 0.5 and 1 mg/kg. The expression of GH, IGF-1, IL-8, and IL-1β genes had the highest mRNA levels in the group of fish fed 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg followed by those fed 1 mg/kg, whereas HSP70 was downregulated. Based on the overall results, Se nanoparticles are recommended at the rate of 0.5-1 mg/kg diet to maintain the optimal growth performance, hemato-biochemical indices, antioxidative status, and immune-related genes in European seabass.

Abstract
Pacu is a tropical fish with important value to aquaculture. During cellular metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced, which can influence muscle growth. Resveratrol is an effective antioxidant that scavenges ROS and can modulate physical performance preventing oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of resveratrol and exercise on pacu muscle growth characteristics. Four groups were used: fish fed with control diet /without exercise (C); fish fed with control diet/subjected to exercise (CE); fish fed resveratrol-supplemented diet/without exercise (R); and fish fed resveratrol-supplemented diet/subjected to exercise (RE). At 30 days, the RE group presented a significant increase in body weight, fewer muscle fibers in the 20-40 μm and more fibers in the >60 μm diameter class compared to the C group. At day 7, catalase activity decreased in CE and RE groups. Superoxide dismutase activity decreased only in the CE group. Myod and mtor gene expression was higher in R and RE and igf-1 was up-regulated in the RE group. Murf1a level decreased in CE, R, and RE, while sdha expression was higher in the RE group. We suggest that resveratrol in combination with exercise was beneficial for muscle growth and metabolism, increasing the expression levels of genes related to muscle anabolism and oxidative metabolism, besides the decrease of catabolic gene expression. Notably, all of these changes occurred together with muscle hypertrophy and increased body weight. Our results show a positive application for resveratrol in association with exercise as a strategy to improve the growth performance of juvenile pacus.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary selenium (nanoparticles, organic, and inorganic forms), curcumin (CUR), and their combination on survival, growth performance, body composition, innate immune responses, and glutathione peroxidase activity of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). CUR at level of 400 mg/kg dry diet and each of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs), organic selenium (Sel-Plax®), and sodium selenite at level of 1 mg/kg Se dry diet were added to basal diet. A total of 240 rainbow trout with mean initial weight of 14.65 ± 0.86 g were fed eight diets including control (basal diet), CUR, Se-NPs, Se-NPs + CUR, organic Se, organic Se + CUR, sodium Se, and sodium Se + CUR for 8 weeks. No significant increase in survival rate, growth performance, feed utilization, and body composition was observed in fish-fed CUR and Se included diets compared to control (P > 0.05). The highest lysozyme and alternative hemolytic complement activity was observed in fish-fed CUR and organic Se + CUR-supplemented diets (P < 0.05). Fish-fed Se-NPs and Se-NPs + CUR-supplemented diets had the highest glutathione peroxidase activity (P < 0.05). The results of the present study indicated that the combination of CUR and Se in nanoparticles and organic forms was more effective in promoting innate immune responses of rainbow trout compared to the other combined or separated Se and CUR forms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTIONS Tuberculosis is spreading throughout the globe, while it is a crucial cause of death in developing countries. In this study, trace elements concentrations and their alterations were determined in TB patients during anti-tuberculosis treatment period. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have collected blood samples from a total of 180 TB patients with pulmonary Tuberculosis, and 180 healthy controls in Sistan, Iran. The serum iron, copper, lead, calcium, arsenic and selenium concentrations were detected at the beginning of anti-TB chemotherapy, at the end of 2nd, 4th and 6th month after treatment initiation. Data were then analyzed using SPSS version 20. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Although Ca, Pb, and As levels did not change during the treatment period, serum concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, and Se were diminished in TB patients significantly during treatment in comparison with controls (P < 0.001).We also found that there was a significant difference in the Cu/Se and Cu/Zn ratios in tuberculosis patients in comparison with healthy individuals (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Trace elements serum concentrations are affected by TB infection and anti-TB therapy. Their serum levels were strongly perturbed during infection as well as anti-TB treatment.

Yu Z, Yin D, Hou M, Zhang J. Effects of food availability on the trade-off between growth and antioxidant responses in Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to sulfonamide antibiotics. CHEMOSPHERE 2018; 211:278-285. [PMID: 30077107 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.07.173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2018] [Revised: 07/06/2018] [Accepted: 07/29/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Adverse effects of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) include growth inhibition and antioxidant activation which showed trade-off effects. Yet, the influence of food availability on such effects have not been thoroughly investigated. Caenorhabditis elegans were exposed to four SAs at high and low food availabilities which were represented by the optical densities of bacteria at 600 nm. The nematode feeding, growth and antioxidants including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) were determined. Results showed that the control nematodes at low food availability had less growth and greater antioxidant responses than the nematodes at high food availability. In SA exposure, the nematode growth in the presence of food (at both high and low food availability) was less than that in its absence, supporting the role of food as an exposure pathway. The nematode growth at low food availability showed significantly greater inhibition than at high food availability (p < 0.05). The nematode antioxidants showed stimulations, and CAT had the greatest stimulation. Moreover, the stimulation on CAT at low food availability were significantly higher than those at high food availability (p < 0.05). That is to say, SA exposure at low food availability further biased the trade-off effects towards more energy investment in antioxidant with less in growth. Further studies on the expression levels of CAT encoding genes demonstrated that cells in intestines were the main antioxidant response sites, which further supported the contributions of food to the observed toxicities.

Speciation Analysis of Selenium in Candida utilis Yeast Cells Using HPLC-ICP-MS and UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS Techniques. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2018.

Abstract
Selenium plays a key role in the proper metabolism of living organisms. The search for new selenium compounds opens up new possibilities for understanding selenometabolome in yeast cells. This study was aimed at the identification of compounds containing selenium in the feed yeasts Candida utilis ATCC 9950. Yeast biomass was kept in aqueous solutions enriched with inorganic selenium (20 mg·L−1) for 24 h. Speciation analysis of the element was performed using the HPLC-ICP-MS and UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS techniques. The obtained selenium value in the yeast was 629 μg·g−1, while the selenomethionine value was 31.57 μg·g−1. The UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS analysis conducted allowed for the identification of six selenium compounds: dehydro-selenomethionine-oxide, selenomethionine, selenomethionine-NH3, a Se-S conjugate of selenoglutathione-cysteine, methylthioselenoglutathione, and 2,3-DHP-selenocysteine-cysteine. In order to explain the structure of selenium compounds, the selected ions were subjected to fragmentation. The selenium compounds obtained with a low mass play a significant role in the metabolism of the compound. However, the bioavailability of such components and their properties have not been fully understood. The number of signals indicating the presence of selenium compounds obtained using the UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS method was characterized by higher sensitivity than when using the HPLC-ICP-MS method. The obtained results will expand upon knowledge about the biotransformation of selenium in eukaryotic yeast cells. Future research should focus on understanding the entire selenium metabolism in cells and on the search for new transformation pathways for this element. This opens up new possibilities for obtaining functional food, rich in easily absorbable selenium sources, and constituting an alternative to dietary supplements based on this compound found primarily in inorganic form.

Characterization and gene expression analysis of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) following Aeromonas dhakensis infection. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2018; 74:94-100. [PMID: 29277697 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2017.12.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2017] [Revised: 12/01/2017] [Accepted: 12/16/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important effector molecule which is involved in a myriad of biological processes, including immune responses against pathogens such as parasites, virus and bacteria. During the inflammatory processes in vertebrates, NO is produced by the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzyme in practically all nucleated cells to suppress or kill intracellular pathogens. The aim of the present study was to characterize the full coding region of the iNOS gene of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), an economically and ecologically important South American fish species, and to analyze mRNA expression levels following intraperitoneal infection with the pathogenic bacterium Aeromonas dhakensis by means of quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). The results showed that the pacu iNOS transcript is 3237 bp in length, encoding a putative protein composed of 1078 amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence showed similarities ranging from 69.03% to 94.34% with other teleost fish and 57.70% with the human iNOS, with all characteristic domains and cofactor binding sites of the enzyme detected. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the iNOS from the red-bellied piranha, another South American characiform, was the closest related sequence to the pacu iNOS. iNOS transcripts were constitutively detected in the liver, spleen and head kidney, and there was a significant upregulation in the liver and spleen at 12, 24 and 48 h after infection with A. dhakensis. No significant variations were observed in the head kidney during the periods analyzed. These results show that iNOS expression was induced by A. dhakensis infection and suggest that this enzyme may be involved in the response to this bacterium in pacu.

Abstract
Salmon farming may face stress due to the intensive culture conditions with negative impacts on overall performance. In this aspect, functional feed improves not only the basic nutritional requirements but also the health status and fish growth. However, to date no studies have been carried out to evaluate the effect of functional diets in salmon subjected to crowding stress. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of yeast extract (Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous; diet A) and the combination of plant extracts (common Saint John's wort, lemon balm, and rosemary; diet B) on the antioxidant and immune status of Atlantic salmon grown under normal cultured conditions and then subjected to crowding stress. Fish were fed with functional diets during 30 days (12 kg/m3) and then subjected to crowding stress (20 kg/m3) for 10 days. The lipid peroxidation in gut showed that both diets induced a marked decrease on oxidative damage when fish were subjected to crowding stress. The protein carbonylation in muscle displayed at day 30 a marked decrease in both functional diets that was more marked on the stress condition. The expression of immune markers (IFNγ, CD4, IL-10, TGF-β, IgMmb, IgMsec, T-Bet, and GATA-3) indicated the upregulation of those associated to humoral-like response (CD4, IL-10, GATA-3) when fish were subjected to crowding stress. These results were confirmed with the expression of secreted IgM. Altogether, these functional diets improved the antioxidant status and increased the expression of genes related to Th2-like response suggesting a protective role on fish subjected to crowding stress.

[PMID: 28965605 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2017.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2017] [Revised: 04/19/2017] [Accepted: 04/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Selenium is a crucial mineral with antioxidant and immune functions, and selenium deficiency may increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the effect of selenium supplementation on CHD is still controversial according to numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The aim of our meta-analysis study was to investigate the impact of selenium on CHD. METHODS PUBMED, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were systematically searched to identify RCTs evaluating the effect of selenium supplementation on CHD mortality, blood lipid profile (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol), serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and the level of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) from inception until September 20, 2016. Odds ratio of CHD mortality and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the fixed effect model. Weighted mean difference or standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to determine the lipid profile, serum CRP, and GSH-PX using fixed effect or random effect models depending on the observed heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 16 eligible RCTs with 43998 participants were included. Significant effects were observed for serum CRP (SMD=-0.48; 95% CI, -0.96 to 0; p=0.049) and GSH-PX (SMD=0.5; 95% CI, 0.36-0.64; p<0.001) after selenium supplementation. However, selenium supplementation was not statistically associated with CHD mortality and an aberrant lipid profile. CONCLUSION Selenium supplementation decreased serum CRP and increased the GSH-PX level, suggesting a positive effect on reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in CHD. However, selenium supplementation is not sufficient to reduce mortality and to improve the lipid status.

Towards the modulation of oxidative damage, apoptosis and tight junction protein in response to dietary leucine deficiency: A likely cause of ROS-induced gill structural integrity impairment. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2017; 70:609-620.

Abstract
The current study explored the protective effect of leucine on antioxidant status, apoptosis and tight junction damage in the gill of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.). The trial was conducted by feeding grass carp with six graded level of leucine (7.1, 8.9, 11.0, 13.3, 15.2 and 17.1 g kg-1 diet) for 8 weeks. The fish were fed to apparent satiation 4 times per day. The results indicated that compared with the leucine deficiency group, 8.9-11.3 g leucine kg-1 diet supplementations decreased protein carbonyl (PC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and ROS contents, which may be partially attributed to the improvement of antioxidant status in the gill by increasing hydroxyl radical capacity and anti-superoxide radicals, glutathione contents and the activities and mRNA levels of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR), that referring to the up-regulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA expression. Moreover, leucine deficiency induced DNA fragmentation via the up-regulation of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 expressions and down-regulation of target of rapamycin and ribosomal S6 protein kinase 1 expressions. Furthermore, leucine deficiency increased interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA expression and decreased IL-10 and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), which was partly related to nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and its inhibitor (IκB). In contrast, the relative mRNA expression of IL-1, IL-8 and TNF-α was down-regulated with 8.9-11.3 g leucine kg-1 diet supplementations. Finally, the relative mRNA expression of tight junction protein, including occludin, zonula occludens-1, claudin b, claudin 3 and claudin 12 was up-regulated with leucine diet supplementations. Our results indicate that leucine protected the fish gill structural integrity partially because of the inhibition of apoptosis, the improvement of antioxidant status, the regulation of tight junction protein and related signalling molecules mRNA expressions in the fish gill.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is considered one of the main obstacles to immune competence and high mortality rate of marine fish larvae due to the high dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and accelerated metabolic rate. This study was carried out to assess the effect of different dietary selenium (Se) yeast on growth, antioxidant status, hematological changes, and cellular and humoral immune parameters in meagre (Argyrosomus regius). Juvenile specimens (3.20 ± 0.17 g) were randomly assigned to four experimental groups, a control group fed a basal diet and another three groups fed Se-supplemented diets at doses of 1, 2 and 3 mg Se-yeast kg-1 diet for 63 days and the final analyzed selenium concentrations were 0.77, 1.51, 2.97 and 3.98 mg Se kg-1 diet, respectively. The results indicated that growth performance, feed conversion ratio and survival were significantly improved with 2.97 and 3.98 mg Se-yeast kg-1 compared to the control group. The catalase, superoxide dismutase activities and total antioxidant status were significantly increased, and thiobarbituric reactive substances in liver homogenate were significantly decreased with increasing Se supplementation respect to the control fish in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, hematological and innate immune parameters (immunoglobulin, lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, ACH50 and respiratory burst activity) were also significantly higher in fish fed the Se-yeast supplemented diets compared to the control group. The results demonstrated that the supplementation of 3.98 mg Se-yeast kg-1 diet improves growth performance, antioxidant balance and innate immune status of meagre juveniles.

Abstract
This study evaluated the protective effect of α-lipoic acid (LA) on n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs)-induced lipid peroxidation in grass carp. The result indicated that diets with n-3 HUFAs increased the production of malondialdehyde (MDA) (P < 0.05), thereby inducing lipid peroxidation in liver and muscle of grass carp. Meanwhile, compared with control group, the hepatosomatic index (HSI) and kidney index (KI) of grass carp were markedly increased in n-3 HUFAs-only group. However, diets with LA remarkably inhibited the n-3 HUFAs-induced increase of HSI, KI, and MDA level in serum, liver and muscle (P < 0.05). Interestingly, LA also significantly elevated the ratio of total n-3 HUFAs in fatty acid composition of muscle and liver (P < 0.05). Furthermore, LA significantly promoted the activity of antioxidant enzymes in serum, muscle and liver of grass carp (P < 0.05), including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione s-transferase (GST). The further results showed that LA significantly elevated mRNA expression of antioxidant enzymes with promoting the mRNA expression of NF-E2-related nuclear factor 2 (Nrf2) and decreasing Kelch-like-ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) mRNA level. From the above, these results suggested that LA could attenuate n-3 HUFAs-induced lipid peroxidation, remit the toxicity of the lipid peroxidant, and protect n-3 HUFAs against lipid peroxidation to promote its deposition in fish, likely strengthening the activity of antioxidant enzymes through regulating mRNA expressions of antioxidant enzyme genes via mediating Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathways.
