[PMID: 36838858 PMCID: PMC9966172 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Baicalin is an active ingredient extracted from the Chinese medicine Scutellaria and has many beneficial effects. Pulmonary interstitial and alveolar edema are common symptoms of an acute lung injury (ALI). We investigated the effects of baicalin on LPS-induced inflammation and the underlying mechanisms in mice and cells. The protein contents and mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells and mice were detected using ELISA and qRT-PCR. Baicalin significantly suppressed TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels and expression, both in vitro and in vivo, compared with the LPS group. Baicalin inhibits the expression of TLR4 and MyD88, resulting in significant decreases in p-p65, p-p38, p-ERK, and p-JNK, as measured by the Western blotting of RAW264.7 cells. A baicalin treatment for 12 h resulted in a rapid increasing of the white blood cell number and significantly improved the pathological changes in the lung. We also found that the baicalin pretreatment for 12 h could decrease the MPO content and wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio, which indicates that baicalin can significantly reduce pulmonary edema. Furthermore, the baicalin pretreatment also resulted in the recovery of TGF-β protein levels and decreased iNOS. Baicalin inhibits ALI inflammation in mice and cells and is a potential candidate for the treatment of ALI.

Dietary supplementation of β-1, 3-glucan improves the intestinal health of white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei) by modulating intestinal microbiota and inhibiting inflammatory response. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1119902. [PMID: 36793729 PMCID: PMC9922984 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1119902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
The phenomenon of intestinal dysfunction is widely observed in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) culture, and β-1,3-glucan has been confirmed to be beneficial in intestinal health with a lack understanding of its underlying mechanism. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria served as the predominant phyla inhabiting the intestine of white shrimp, whilst a significant variation in their proportion was recorded in shrimp fed with basal and β-1,3-glucan supplementation diets in this study. Dietary supplementation of β-1,3-glucan could dramatically increase the microbial diversity and affect microbial composition, concurrent with a notable reduction in the ratio of opportunistic pathogen Aeromonas, gram-negative microbes, from Gammaproteobacteria compared to the basal diet group. The benefits for microbial diversity and composition by β-1,3-glucan improved the homeostasis of intestinal microbiota through the increase of specialists' number and inhibition of microbial competition caused by Aeromonas in ecological networks; afterward, the inhibition of Aeromonas by β-1,3-glucan diet dramatically suppressed microbial metabolism related to lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, followed by a conspicuous decrease in the intestinal inflammatory response. The improvement of intestinal health referred to the elevation in intestinal immune and antioxidant capacity, ultimately contributing to the growth of shrimp fed β-1,3-glucan. These results suggested that β-1,3-glucan supplementation improved the intestinal health of white shrimp through the modulation of intestinal microbiota homeostasis, the suppression of intestinal inflammatory response, and the elevation of immune and antioxidant capacity, and subsequently promoted the growth of white shrimp.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) reduces the reproductive performance of laying ducks, especially during the hot summer months. To study the underlying mechanisms, we investigated the effects of different LPS concentrations and heat on duck granulosa cell (GC) proliferation and steroid biosynthesis in vitro. We investigated GC proliferation, secretion, and activation of the MAPK pathway. The cell cycle results showed that LPS treatment alone did not significantly affect cell proliferation, whereas the mRNA expression levels of IGF2, IGFBP2, and CyclinD1 were downregulated and p27kip1 was significantly upregulated after 2000 ng/mL LPS treatment when compared to untreated cells. In steroid hormone synthesis, although LPS increased the expression of most steroid biosynthesis genes, it inhibited the expression of CYP11A1 at high LPS concentrations. High temperatures enhanced the inhibitory effect of LPS on the expression of proliferation-promoting genes. Heat significantly reduced CYP11A1 and CYP19A1 expression. In addition, the phosphorylation of P38 was significantly upregulated by high temperatures combined with LPS, whereas the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and JNK was downregulated. The relative protein expression of Bax/BCL-2 was upregulated at high temperatures in combination with LPS. Heat treatment enhanced the inhibitory effects of LPS on the proliferation and hormone biosynthesis of duck GCs in vitro.

Abstract
Colibacillosis is one of the major health threats in the poultry industry worldwide. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms involved in Escherichia coli-induced inflammatory response may lead to the development of new therapies to combat the disease. To address this, a total of 96 1-day-old male lean Pekin ducklings were employed and randomly allocated to two treatments, each with six replicates of eight ducks. Ducks in the experiment group (EG) and the control group (CG) were separately orally administered with 0.2 ml of pathogenic E. coli O88 (3 × 109 CFU/ml) or equivalent volumes of 0.9% sterile saline solution on day 7, two times with an 8-h interval. Serum and intestinal samples were collected on days 9, 14, and 28. Results showed that ducks challenged with E. coli had lower average daily gain and higher feed intake/weight gain during days 9–14 and overall (P < 0.05). Histopathological examination showed that E. coli decreased the villus height and the ratio of villus height/crypt depth in the jejunum (P < 0.05) on days 9 and 14. The intestinal barrier was disrupted, presenting in E. coli ducks having higher serum DAO and D-LA on days 9 and 14 (P < 0.05) and greater content of serum LPS on day 9 (P < 0.05). Escherichia coli infection also triggered a systemic inflammatory response including the decrease of the serum IgA, IgM, and jejunal sIgA on day 14 (P < 0.05). In addition to these, 1,062 differentially expressed genes were detected in the jejunum tissues of ducks by RNA-seq, consisting of 491 upregulated and 571 downregulated genes. Based on the KEGG database, oxidative phosphorylation and the ribosome pathway were the most enriched. These findings reveal the candidate pathways and genes that may be involved in E. coli infection, allow a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of inflammation progression and may facilitate the genetic improvement of ducks, and provide further insights to tackle the drug sensitivity and animal welfare issues.

Abstract
Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is assumed to be a common disease in high-yielding dairy cows. Despite this, the epidemiological evidence is limited by the lack of survey data. The prevalence of SARA has mainly been determined by measuring the pH of ruminal fluid collected using rumenocentesis. This may not be sufficiently accurate, because the symptoms of SARA are not solely due to ruminal pH depression, and ruminal pH varies among sites in the rumen, throughout a 24-h period, and among days. The impact of SARA has mainly been studied by conducting SARA challenges in cows, sheep, and goats based on a combination of feed restriction and high-grain feeding. The methodologies of these challenges vary considerably among studies. Variations include differences in the duration and amount of grain feeding, type of grain, amount and duration of feed restriction, number of experimental cows, and sensitivity of cows to SARA challenges. Grain-based SARA challenges affect gut health. These effects include depressing the pH in, and increasing the toxin content of, digesta. They also include altering the taxonomic composition of microbiota, reducing the functionality of the epithelia throughout the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and a moderate inflammatory response. The effects on the epithelia include a reduction in its barrier function. Effects on microbiota include reductions in their richness and diversity, which may reduce their functionality and reflect dysbiosis. Changes in the taxonomic composition of gut microbiota throughout the GIT are evident at the phylum level, but less evident and more variable at the genus level. Effects at the phylum level include an increase in the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio. More studies on the effects of a SARA challenge on the functionality of gut microbiota are needed. The inflammatory response resulting from grain-based SARA challenges is innate and moderate and mainly consists of an acute phase response. This response is likely a combination of systemic inflammation and inflammation of the epithelia of the GIT. The systemic inflammation is assumed to be caused by translocation of immunogenic compounds, including bacterial endotoxins and bioamines, through the epithelia into the interior circulation. This translocation is increased by the increase in concentrations of toxins in digesta and a reduction of the barrier function of epithelia. Severe SARA can cause rumenitis, but moderate SARA may activate an immune response in the epithelia of the GIT. Cows grazing highly fermentable pastures with high sugar contents can also have a low ruminal pH indicative of SARA. This is not accompanied by an inflammatory response but may affect milk production and gut microbiota. Grain-based SARA affects several aspects of gut health, but SARA resulting from grazing high-digestible pastures and insufficient coarse fiber less so. We need to determine which method for inducing SARA is the most representative of on-farm conditions.

Impacts of polyclonal antibody preparations from avian origin on nutrient digestibility and performance of backgrounding beef cattle. Transl Anim Sci 2022; 6:txac016.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of feeding an avian-derived polyclonal antibody preparation (PAP; CAMAS, Inc.) against Streptococcus bovis, Fusobacterium necrophorum, and lipopolysaccharides (LPS; 40%, 35%, and 25% of the preparation, respectively) on growth performance (Exp. 1) and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients (Exp. 2) of beef cattle consuming a backgrounding diet. In Exp. 1, Angus crossbred heifers (n = 70; 360 ± 24 kg of initial body weight; BW) and steers (n = 20; 386 ± 24 kg of BW) were used in a generalized randomized block design. Heifers and steers were allocated to 1 of 18 concrete-surfaced pens (6 pens per treatment) to receive a common ad libitum diet (35% cottonseed hulls, 34% dry-rolled corn, and 20% corn gluten pellets; 15.9% crude protein on a dry matter [DM] basis, 1.58 Mcal/kg DM of net energy [NE] of maintenance, and 0.98 Mcal/kg DM of NE of gain) and 1 of the 3 treatments consisting of feeding 1 (PAP1), 3 (PAP3), or 0 g (CON) of PAP per day for 56 d. Feed intake was recorded daily and BW was obtained on days −1, 0, 14, 28, 42, 55, and 56 to assess average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), and gain:feed (G:F). Plasma concentrations of glucose and haptoglobin were measured on days 0, 14, 28, 42, and 56. In Exp. 2, 25 Angus crossbreed steers (390 ± 24 kg BW) were used in a completely randomized design to receive the same diet and treatments from Exp. 1 (CON: n = 8; PAP1: n = 9; and PAP3: n = 8). Following a 14-d adaptation to diets, feed and fecal samples were collected to determine apparent total tract nutrient digestibility. In Exp. 1, overall BW, DMI, ADG, G:F, and plasmatic measurements did not differ among treatments over the 56-d period (P ≥ 0.16). However, from days 0 to 14, a quadratic effect was observed for ADG, in which cattle receiving PAP1 had greater (P = 0.04) ADG compared with CON. In Exp. 2, no difference in DMI was observed (P = 0.88), yet DM, organic matter, neutral and acid detergent fiber, and starch digestibility were least (P ≤ 0.05) for PAP3, whereas digestibility of neutral detergent fiber was greatest (P < 0.01) for PAP1. In summary, feeding 1 g/d of a PAP against S. bovis, F. necrophorum, and LPS improved growth performance in the first 14 d and increased fiber digestibility of beef cattle consuming a backgrounding diet. Further research is needed to understand the impaired responses on nutrient digestibility when greater doses are provided.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of feeding an avian-derived polyclonal antibody preparation (PAP; CAMAS, Inc.) against Streptococcus bovis, Fusobacterium necrophorum, and lipopolysaccharides (LPS; 40%, 35%, and 25% of the preparation, respectively) on immune responses (haptoglobin [Hp], serum amyloid A [SAA], rectal temperature [RT], leukocyte counts, and expression of cell adhesion molecules cluster of differentiation [CD] CD11b, CD14, and CD62L) of beef steers during a 21-d step-up adaptation to a high-grain diet. Eight ruminally cannulated Angus crossbred beef steers (658 ± 79 kg of BW) were assigned in a cross-over design and transitioned from a diet containing bermudagrass hay (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) ad libitum plus 0.45 kg/d of molasses with 0 (CON) or 3 g of PAP to a high-grain diet. Transition consisted of three 7-d steps of increased inclusion of cracked corn (35%, 60%, and 82% of the diet dry matter for STEP1, STEP2, and STEP3, respectively). On each transition day and 7 d after STEP3 (STEP3-7d), RT was obtained every 3 h for a total of 24 h, whereas blood was collected on days 0, 1, and 3, relative to diet transition. There were no effects of PAP inclusion in any of the blood parameters (P > 0.11). However, a tendency for day effect (P = 0.10) was observed for concentrations of Hp, which were greater on days 3 and 7 vs. day 0 relative to the second diet transition (STEP2). Plasma concentrations of SAA were greater on days 1, 3, and 7 compared to day 0 during STEP1 (P = 0.01), while during STEP2 and STEP3, SAA concentrations increased (P < 0.01) from day 0 to 3. During STEP2, PAP steers tended to have lower (P = 0.08) RT than CON steers. Neutrophil and monocyte counts were the least during STEP3 (P < 0.01), whereas expression of CD11b and CD62L was the least through forage feeding (P < 0.01). Concentration of starch in the diet was correlated to all the variables tested (P ≤ 0.01), except for the percentage of B cells (P = 0.22). Yet only ruminal pH, RT, monocyte, and neutrophil counts presented strong correlation coefficients. In conclusion, the step-up transition from forage to high-grain diets triggered systemic inflammation in beef steers as observed by increased plasma concentrations of Hp, SAA, and expression on adhesion molecules in leukocytes. However, feeding polyclonal antibody preparations against S. bovis, F. necrophorum, and LPS did not provide benefits to mitigate inflammation.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has several adverse effects to patients, some of which are life-threatening. We hypothesized that Doxorubicin induced microbiome imbalance and intestinal damage may contribute to Doxorubicin induced cardiac dysfunction. Male adult (2-3 months) C57BL/6 mice were administered 3 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 7.5 mg/kg,15 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg doses of Doxorubicin. Echocardiography was performed at 7 and 14 days after Doxorubicin administration. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to characterize microbiome changes. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was performed to evaluate the role of the microbiota on Doxorubicin induced cardiac dysfunction. Doxorubicin dose dependently increases mortality rate and induces cardiac dysfunction. 5 mg/kg-Doxorubicin significantly induces decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fraction shortening (FS) as well as increased cardiac fibrosis, inflammation and oxidative stress respond without increasing mortality. 5 mg/kg-Doxorubicin induces significant decreased colorectum length, increased loss of goblet cells, numbers of ulcers and infiltration of lymphocyte clusters and decreased tight junction protein ZO-1, as well as increased plasma endotoxin level measured by ELISA assay. 16S rRNA microbiota analysis shows that Doxorubicin-induced microbiota dysbiosis with decreased community richness compared with normal control mice. FMT to Doxorubicin-5 mg treated mice significantly improved cardiac function by increasing LVEF and FS as well as decreased perivascular and interstitial fibrosis; increased colorectum length, decreased the loss of goblet cells,infiltration of lymphocyte clusters,the number of ulcers and plasma endotoxin level; improved microbiota composition, function and diversity with increased abundance of Alloprevotella, Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group. We find that normal fecal transplantation improves cardiac function, decreases gut damage and alter microbiota composition induced by Doxorubicin. The microbiota appears to contribute to heart-gut interaction.

Abstract
Ruminant animals are generally fed with starch-rich grain as the main energy source, and the incidence of metabolic diseases such as subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is high due to the intensive farming. Thiamin has been reported to alleviate SARA caused by high-concentrate diets, but the exact mechanism is not well understood. The goal of this study was to examine the role of thiamine in intestinal inflammation and microbiota caused by high-concentrate diets. The SARA model was induced by low neutral detergent fibre/starch ration to study the effects of thiamine on intestinal tissue structure and microbiota. 18 mid-lactation (148 ± 3 d in milk; milk yield = 0.71 ± 0.0300 kg/d) Saanen goats (BW = 36.5 ± 1.99 kg; body condition score = 2.73 ± 0.16, where 1 = emaciated and 6 = obese) in parities 1 or 2 were selected. The goats were randomly divided into three groups with six replicates: (1) control diet (C; concentrate:forage 30:70), (2) high-concentrate diet (H; concentrate:forage 70:30), and (3) high-concentrate diet with 200 mg of thiamine/kg of DM intake (H + T;concentrate:forage 70:30). The experimental period was lasted for 56 d. The small and large intestine, expression of inflammatory factor genes, tight junction protein genes, total antioxidant capacity, and intestinal microbiota were measured. The results showed that SARA was observed in treatment H, whereas rumen fluid pH was improved in treatment H + T. Treatment H + T also significantly repaired the intestinal tissue structure damaged by SARA, improved the total antioxidant capacity of the small intestinal mucosa, reduced mRNA expression of inflammatory factors in the small intestine tissue, and increased the mRNA expression of tight junction genes in small intestine tissue. The high-concentrate diet reduced the diversity of intestinal microbiota. When thiamine is added to the high-concentrate diet, the relative abundance of intestinal Firmicutes and beneficial bacteria represented by Lactobacilli were upregulated, and the relative abundance of Proteus, a marker of intestinal dysbacteriosis, returned to normal. In conclusion, thiamine supplementation could alleviate the damage to the intestinal tissue structure and microbial environment caused by SARA condition in dairy goats fed a high-concentrate diet.

Abstract
Acute and subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) are common nutritional problems in both beef and dairy cattle. Therefore, the objective of this review is to describe how ruminal Gram-negative bacteria could contribute to the pathogenesis of ruminal acidoses, by releasing lipopolysaccharides (LPS; a component of their cell wall) in the ruminal fluid. When cattle consume excessive amounts of highly fermentable carbohydrates without prior adaptation, normal fermentation become disrupted. The fermentation of these carbohydrates quickly decreases ruminal pH due to the accumulation of short-chain fatty acids and lactate in the rumen. As a consequence, ruminal epithelium may be damaged and tissue function could be impaired, leading to a possible translocation of pathogenic substances from the rumen into the bloodstream. Such changes in fermentation are followed by an increase in Gram-positive bacteria while Gram-negative bacteria decrease. The lyses of Gram-negative bacteria during ruminal acidosis increase LPS concentration in the ruminal fluid. Because LPS is a highly proinflammatory endotoxin in the circulatory system, past studies have raised concerns regarding ruminal LPS contribution to the pathogenesis of ruminal acidosis. Although animals that undergo these disorders do not always have an immune response, recent studies showed that different Gram-negative bacteria have different LPS composition and toxicity, which may explain the differences in immune response. Given the diversity of Gram-negative bacteria in the rumen, evaluating the changes in the bacterial community during ruminal acidosis could be used as a way to identify which Gram-negative bacteria are associated with LPS release in the rumen. By identifying and targeting ruminal bacteria with possible pathogenic LPS, nutritional strategies could be created to overcome, or at least minimize, ruminal acidosis.

Abstract
The application of permeation enhancers (PEs) to improve transport of poorly absorbed active pharmaceutical ingredients across the intestinal epithelium is a widely tested approach. Several hundred compounds have been shown to alter the epithelial barrier, and although the research emphasis has broadened to encompass a role for nanoparticle approaches, PEs represent a key constituent of conventional oral formulations that have progressed to clinical testing. In this review, we highlight promising PEs in early development, summarize the current state of the art, and highlight challenges to the translation of PE-based delivery systems into safe and effective oral dosage forms for patients.

Abstract
Due to their high energy requirements, high-yielding dairy cows receive high-grain diets. This commonly jeopardises their gastrointestinal health by causing subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) and hindgut acidosis. These disorders can disrupt nutrient utilisations, impair the functionalities of gastrointestinal microbiota, and reduce the absorptive and barrier capacities of gastrointestinal epithelia. They can also trigger inflammatory responses. The symptoms of SARA are not only due to a depressed rumen pH. Hence, the diagnosis of this disorder based solely on reticulo-rumen pH values is inaccurate. An accurate diagnosis requires a combination of clinical examinations of cows, including blood, milk, urine and faeces parameters, as well as analyses of herd management and feed quality, including the dietary contents of NDF, starch and physical effective NDF. Grain-induced SARA increases acidity and shifts availabilities of substrates for microorganisms in the reticulo-rumen and hindgut and can result in a dysbiotic microbiota that are characterised by low richness, diversity and functionality. Also, amylolytic microorganisms become more dominant at the expense of proteolytic and fibrolytic ones. Opportunistic microorganisms can take advantage of newly available niches, which, combined with reduced functionalities of epithelia, can contribute to an overall reduction in nutrient utilisation and increasing endotoxins and pathogens in digesta and faeces. The reduced barrier function of epithelia increases translocation of these endotoxins and other immunogenic compounds out of the digestive tract, which may be the cause of inflammations. This needs to be confirmed by determining the toxicity of these compounds. Cows differ in their susceptibility to poor gastrointestinal health, due to variations in genetics, feeding history, diet adaptation, gastrointestinal microbiota, metabolic adaptation, stress and infections. These differences may also offer opportunities for the management of gastrointestinal health. Strategies to prevent SARA include balancing the diet for physical effective fibre, non-fibre carbohydrates and starch, managing the different fractions of non-fibre carbohydrates, and consideration of the type and processing of grain and forage digestibility. Gastrointestinal health disorders due to high grain feeding may be attenuated by a variety of feed supplements and additives, including buffers, antibiotics, probiotics/direct fed microbials and yeast products. However, the efficacy of strategies to prevent these disorders must be improved. This requires a better understanding of the mechanisms through which these strategies affect the functionality of gastrointestinal microbiota and epithelia, and the immunity, inflammation and 'gastrointestinal-health robustness' of cows. More representative models to induce SARA are also needed.

Abstract
Rumen-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is translocated from the rumen into the bloodstream when subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) occurs following long-term feeding with a high-concentrate (HC) diet in dairy cows. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism of inflammatory responses in the liver caused by HC diet feeding. We found that SARA was induced in dairy cows when rumen pH below 5.6 lasted for at least 3 h/d with HC diet feeding. Also, the LPS levels in the portal and hepatic veins were increased significantly and hepatocytes were impaired as well as the liver function was inhibited during SARA condition. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression of immune genes including TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) MAPK, Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in the liver were significantly increased in SARA cows. Moreover, the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 and p38 MAPK proteins in the liver and the concentration of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in peripheral blood were obviously increased under SARA condition. In conclusion, the inflammatory injury in the liver caused by LPS that traveled from the digestive tract to the liver through the portal vein after feeding with a HC diet.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest infectious diseases that affected humankind and remains one of the world's deadliest communicable diseases that could be considered as global emergency, but the discovery and development of isoniazid (INH) in the 1950s paved the way to an effective single and/or combined first-line anti-TB therapy. However, administration of INH induces severe hepatic toxicity in some patients. Previously, we establish a rat model of INH hepatotoxicity utilizing the inflammatory stress theory, in which bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) potentially enhanced INH toxicity. These enhancing activities ranged between augmenting the inflammatory stress, oxidative stress, alteration of bile acid homeostasis, and CYP2E1 over-expression. Although pre-treatment with dexamethasone (DEX) helped overcome both inflammatory and oxidative stress which ended-up in alleviation of LPS augmenting effects, but still minor toxicities were being detected, alongside with CYP2E1 over expression. This finding positively indicated the corner-stone role played by CYP2E1 in the pathogenesis of INH/LPS-induced liver damage. Therefore, we examined whether INH/LPS co-treatment with CYP2E1 inhibitor diallyl sulfide (DAS) and DEX can protect against the INH/LPS-induced hepatotoxicity. Our results showed that pre-administration of both DAS and DEX caused significant reduction in serum TBA, TBil, and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels. Furthermore, the histopathological analysis showed that DAS and DEX could effectively reverse the liver lesions seen following INH/LPS treatment and protect against hepatic steatosis as indicated by absence of lipid accumulation. Pre-treatment with DAS alone could not completely block the CYP2E1 protein expression following INH/LPS treatment, as appeared in the immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry results. This is probably due to the fact that the combined enhancement activities of both INH and LPS on CYP2E1 protein expression levels might resist the blocking probabilities of DAS. In the meantime, addition of DEX to the DAS/INH/LPS combination caused a significant reduction in CYP2E1 protein expression as revealed by the immunoblotting and fading coloration in immunohistochemistry results. Thus, addition of DEX and DAS together caused strong protection against INH/LPS-induced hepatic damage. These findings reveal the potential therapeutic value of combining DAS and DEX with INH in TB management for reducing the potential risk and incidences of hepatotoxicity.

Metabolic and hematological consequences of dietary deoxynivalenol interacting with systemic Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. Toxins (Basel) 2015; 7:4773-96.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that chronic oral deoxynivalenol (DON) exposure modulated Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation, whereby the liver was suspected to play an important role. Thus, a total of 41 barrows was fed one of two maize-based diets, either a DON-diet (4.59 mg DON/kg feed, n = 19) or a control diet (CON, n = 22). Pigs were equipped with indwelling catheters for pre- or post-hepatic (portal vs. jugular catheter) infusion of either control (0.9% NaCl) or LPS (7.5 µg/kg BW) for 1h and frequent blood sampling. This design yielded six groups: CON_CONjugular‑CONportal, CON_CONjugular‑LPSportal, CON_LPSjugular‑CONportal, DON_CONjugular‑CONportal, DON_CONjugular‑LPSportal and DON_LPSjugular‑CONportal. Blood samples were analyzed for blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, pH, lactate and red hemogram. The red hemogram and electrolytes were not affected by DON and LPS. DON-feeding solely decreased portal glucose uptake (p < 0.05). LPS-decreased partial oxygen pressure (pO₂) overall (p < 0.05), but reduced pCO₂ only in arterial blood, and DON had no effect on either. Irrespective of catheter localization, LPS decreased pH and base-excess (p < 0.01), but increased lactate and anion-gap (p < 0.01), indicating an emerging lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis was more pronounced in the group DON_LPSjugular-CONportal than in CON-fed counterparts (p < 0.05). DON-feeding aggravated the porcine acid-base balance in response to a subsequent immunostimulus dependent on its exposure site (pre- or post-hepatic).

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a major B-trichothecene that draws importance from its natural occurrence in cereals worldwide. It has many effects on rapidly dividing cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin released from most Gram-negative bacteria, which plays a major role in induction of inflammation and sepsis under certain conditions. In our experiments we aimed to study the effects of different concentrations of DON (up to 8,000 ng/ml) on the electrogenic transport of nutrients and on tissue conductances in growing pigs using the Ussing chamber technique. The effect of DON-contaminated feed (2.9 mg/kg feed) on the respective parameters, as well as the interactions between DON and intraperitoneal (i.p.) LPS were assessed using porcine jejunal tissues. In vitro DON inhibited the absorption of alanine and glucose across the pig jejunum at concentrations of 4,000 and 8,000 ng/ml, suggesting that DON had an inhibitory effect on the electrogenic transport of nutrients across porcine small intestines. Electrogenic transport of alanine and glucose across porcine small intestines varied regionally among intestinal segments with higher response in ileal tissues. A synergistic effect was observed between DON in feed and injected LPS on tissue conductance. In response, glucose with higher short circuit currents was observed across porcine jejunal mucosa in nutrient stimulated conditions.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in the management of pain and endotoxaemia associated with colic in the horse. While NSAIDs effectively treat the symptoms of colic, there is evidence to suggest that their administration is associated with adverse gastrointestinal effects including right dorsal colitis and inhibition of mucosal barrier healing. Several studies have examined the pathophysiology of NSAID associated effects on the large and small intestine in an effort to avoid these complications and identify effective alternative medications. Differences in the response of the large and small intestines to injury and NSAID treatment have been identified. Flunixin meglumine has been shown in the small intestine to inhibit barrier function recovery and increase permeability to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A range of NSAIDs has been examined in the small intestine and experimental evidence suggests that those NSAIDs with cyclooxygenase independent anti-inflammatory effects or a COX-2 selective mode of action may offer significant advantages over traditional NSAIDs.

Abstract
Metabolic diseases such as obesity are characterized by a subclinical inflammatory state that contributes to the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Recent reports also indicate that (i) there are alterations of the intestinal microbiota in metabolic diseases and (ii) absorption of endogenous endotoxins (namely lipopolysaccharides, LPS) can occur, particularly during the digestion of lipids. The aim of the present review is to highlight recently gained knowledge regarding the links between high fat diets, lipid digestion, intestinal microbiota and metabolic endotoxemia & inflammation.

Abstract
The temporal pattern and sex effect of immune and stress hormone responses to a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge were assessed using a pig model. Secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6 increased in a time-dependent manner following LPS infusion. There was also a time-dependent increase in secretion of the stress-related hormones cortisol, epinephrine (E), and norepinephrine (NE) following LPS, with peak concentrations attained within 30 min. The magnitude of the TNF-alpha and IL-1beta responses were both positively associated (P < 0.05) with the magnitude of cortisol response following LPS, whereas serum IL-1beta and IL-6 were positively correlated with the magnitude of E and NE responses following LPS. Acute-phase protein production was also time-dependently increased following LPS. The concentration of immune cells in circulation was decreased (P < 0.05) at 5.5h post-LPS and negatively correlated with pro-inflammatory cytokine production. By 24h post-LPS, immune cell counts increased (P < 0.05) and were positively associated with both pro-inflammatory cytokine and stress hormone production. The amplitude of pro-inflammatory cytokine response following LPS was affected (P < 0.05) by sex classification; however, the magnitude of elevated cytokine concentrations was not. The magnitude of the NE response, but not of the E and cortisol responses, to LPS was influenced by sex (P < 0.05). Similar to the pro-inflammatory cytokines, the magnitude of exposure to the stress hormones following LPS was not influenced by sex. The production of serum amyloid A (SAA) was influenced by sex, with barrows producing more SAA than gilts at 24h post-LPS (P < 0.05). Collectively, these results demonstrate sex-specific, concomitant temporal changes in innate immune- and stress-related hormones.
