Poult Sci 2023; 102:102536. [PMID: 36764136 PMCID: PMC9929597 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous study showed that ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) and ginsenoside Re (Re) alleviated growth inhibition of broiler chicks with immune stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Rg1 and Re on inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in liver of broilers with immune stress induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Forty broiler chicks were randomly divided into 4 groups, each group consisting of 10 chickens. The model group, Rg1 group, and Re group were received continuously interval injection of 250 μg/kg body weight LPS at the age of 12, 14, 33, and 35 days to induce immune stress. Control group was injected with an equivalent amount of sterile saline. Then broilers in Rg1 group and Re group were given 1mg/kg body weight Rg1 and Re intraperitoneally 2 h after the LPS challenge respectively. Blood samples were collected for the detection of hormone levels, inflammatory mediators, and antioxidant parameters. Hepatic tissues were taken for pathological observation. Total RNA was extracted from the liver for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Our results showed that Rg1 or Re could alleviate histological changes of liver, reduce production of stress-related hormones, inhibit inflammatory responses, and enhance antioxidant capacity in broilers challenged by immune stress. In addition, Rg1 or Re treatment upregulated mRNA expression of antioxidant-related genes and downregulated mRNA expression of inflammation-related factors and apoptosis-related genes in the liver of immune-stressed broilers. The results suggest that the plant extracts containing Rg1 and Re can be used for ameliorating hepatic oxidative stress and inflammation and controlling immune stress in broiler chicks.

Pro-inflammatory cytokine release from chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Vet World 2022; 15:885-889. [PMID: 35698506 PMCID: PMC9178577 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2022.885-889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim: The principal cytokines released by the host on infection include pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). These cytokines were regarded as regulators of the host’s response to infection. This study aimed to determine the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from six Betong chickens. To isolate PBMCs, density gradient centrifugation was utilized. PBMC culture in RPMI1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum was stimulated with various concentrations of LPS (0, 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 μg/mL). The production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: When the PBMCs were cultured for 24 h with varying doses of LPS, there was no significant variation in cell viability. TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels were measured in Betong chicken PBMC. The release of these cytokines increased considerably as LPS concentration (0.01-1 μg/mL) increased (p<0.05). Conclusion: In vitro studies of the chicken immune response, notably the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, can be conducted using PBMCs obtained from chicken blood.
