Effects of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Microplastic Particles on Gut Microbiota Composition and Health Status in Rabbit Livestock. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:12646.

Abstract
The widespread use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and its entry into humans and livestock is of serious concern. In our study, we investigated the impact of PVC treatments on physiological, pathological, hormonal, and microbiota changes in female rabbits. Trend-like alterations in weight were observed in the spleen, liver, and kidney in both low (P1) and high dose (P2) PVC treatment groups. Histopathological examination revealed exfoliation of the intestinal mucosa in the treated groups compared to the control, and microplastic particles were penetrated and embedded in the spleen. Furthermore, both P1 and P2 showed increased 17-beta-estradiol (E2) hormone levels, indicating early sexual maturation. Moreover, the elevated tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels suggest inflammatory reactions associated with PVC treatment. Genus-level analyses of the gut microbiota in group P2 showed several genera with increased or decreased abundance. In conclusion, significant or trend-like correlations were demonstrated between the PVC content of feed and physiological, pathological, and microbiota parameters. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the broad-spectrum effects of PVC microplastic exposure in rabbits. These results highlight the potential health risks associated with PVC microplastic exposure, warranting further investigations in both animals and humans.

Abstract
There is a gradual transition from water to dryland rearing of geese. In this study, we performed 16S rRNA sequencing (16S rRNA-seq) and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) to reveal the effects of cage rearing (CR) and floor rearing (FR) systems on the microbial composition and transcriptome of the goose ileum. Through 16S rRNA-seq, Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) analysis identified 2 (hgcI_clade and Faecalibacterium) and 14 (Bacteroides, Proteiniphilum, Proteiniclasticum, etc.) differential microbiota in CR and FR, respectively. The rearing system influenced 4 pathways including biosynthesis of amino acids in ileal microbiota. Moreover, we identified 1,198 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the ileum mucosa, with 957 genes up-regulated in CR and 241 genes up-regulated in FR. In CR, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed the significant enrichment (p < 0.05) of 28 KEGG pathways, most of which were associated with amino acid metabolism. In FR, up-regulated DEGs were mainly enriched in KEGG pathways associated with cellular processes, including apoptosis, necroptosis, and cellular senescence. Spearman correlation analysis of differential microbiota and amino acid metabolism-related DEGs in CR showed a significant positive correlation. Additionally, differential microbiota of FR, Phascolarctobacterium and Sutterella, were positively correlated with FGF10 (p < 0.05) and PIK3R1 (p < 0.01), respectively. In conclusion, there might be differences in ileal amino acid metabolism levels between CR and FR geese, and the observed increase in harmful bacterial species in FR might impact the activity of ileal cells.

[PMID: 36070643 PMCID: PMC9468592 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2022.102110] [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: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The fishy odor of duck eggs has restricted their consumption and industrial development, a problem that producers need to address. We estimated the effects of cage, floor, and pond rearing systems on duck egg flavor, egg quality, and microbial diversity by evaluating yolk trimethylamine (TMA) content, egg quality, and the differences between duck cecum (cage cecum, CC; floor cecum, FC; pond cecum, PC) and the environment (cage environment, CE; floor environment, FE; pond environment, PE). The results show that the yolk TMA content of the floor-rearing and pond-rearing systems was significantly higher than that of the cage-rearing system (P < 0.001), with no difference between the floor and pond-rearing systems. No significant differences were detected in egg quality among the rearing systems. Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla in the cecum, and in the rearing environment, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla. The results of α and β diversity analyses show that changes in the rearing system affected the composition and diversity of duck cecal microbes. In addition, we screened several genera that may be related to the production of TMA in duck cecum under different rearing systems using LEfSe analysis; for example, Subdoligranulum in the CC group; Romboutsia in the FC group; and Lactobacillus, Clostridium, and Streptococcus in the PC group. In conclusion, the rearing system affects the cecal microbes of ducks, which in turn affect the deposition of TMA in duck eggs but have no adverse effect on egg quality. This study provides a basis for the development of rearing strategies to reduce the fishy odor of egg yolk in the duck industry.
