Chronic heat stress is capable of reducing the growth performance, causing damage to the liver structure, and altering the liver glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides L.). FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2025; 51:1-12. [PMID: 39666229 DOI: 10.1007/s10695-024-01416-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 11/09/2024] [Indexed: 12/13/2024]
Abstract
High temperatures cause abnormal energy metabolism and inhibit the growth of fish in aquaculture. However, the mechanism of energy metabolism under chronic heat stress is still unknown. In this study, largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, LMB) was treated with 25℃, 29℃, and 33℃ for 8 weeks. Then, the growth performance, liver tissue damage, serum lipid indicator, hepatic glycogen, and triglyceride levels were analyzed. The growth data showed that the 33℃ group had a lower weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), feeding rate (FR), and higher feed conversion rate (FCR) in comparison with those in the 25℃ and 29℃ groups. However, there were no significant differences between the 25℃ and 29℃ groups. The most severe damage to liver tissue was observed in the 33℃ group, characterized by cellular vacuolation and marginalization of cell nuclei. The levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the serum were decreased with the rising temperatures. However, the hepatic triglyceride levels were increased, with a decrease in hepatic glycogen levels. Compared with the 25℃ group, the expressions of gluconeogenesis pathway-related genes (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pepck) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase)) and glucose transport pathway-related gene (glucose transporter 2 (Gltu2)) were down-regulated in the 33℃ group. In contrast, the expression of the glycolysis pathway-related gene (pyruvate kinase (Pk)) was up-regulated. In addition, the expressions of fatty acid β oxidation pathway-related genes (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-Alpha (Pparα) and carnitine palmityl transferase 1 (Cpt1)), adipogenesis pathway-related genes (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-Gamma (Pparγ), fatty acid synthase (Fas), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (Acc)), and lipolysis pathway-related genes (adipose triglyceride lipase (Agtl) and hormone-sensitive lipase (Hsl)) were down-regulated under chronic heat stress. In conclusion, our results indicated that enhancement of the glycolysis pathway and inhibition of the gluconeogenesis pathway and lipid metabolism contribute to coping with chronic heat stress for LMB. Our study provides useful information for alleviating the heat stress response of LMB through nutritional regulation in the future.

Fei S, Chen Z, Liu H, Jin J, Yang Y, Han D, Zhu X, Xie S. Dietary carbohydrate to lipid ratio affects growth, reproductive performance and health of female yellow catfish ( Pelteobagrus fulvidragrus): A lipidomics analysis. ANIMAL NUTRITION (ZHONGGUO XU MU SHOU YI XUE HUI) 2024; 19:429-441. [PMID: 39640551 PMCID: PMC11617697 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2024.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 12/07/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the impact of dietary carbohydrate to lipid (CHO/L) ratio on the growth, reproductive, and offspring performance of broodstock yellow catfish, and to elucidate the metabolic differences between mothers and offspring using lipidomics. Five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets with varying CHO/L ratios (0.65, 1.44, 2.11, 3.13, and 5.36) were fed to five groups of female broodfish with three replicates per group and 35 female broodfish per replocate in a pond-cage culture system. After an eight-week feeding trial, the dietary CHO/L ratio had a significant impact on the growth and reproductive performance of female yellow catfish. The weight gain ratio (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) in the CHO/L0.65 and CHO/L2.11 groups were significantly higher than those in the CHO/L5.36 group (P < 0.05). The fertilization and hatching rates were the highest when the dietary CHO/L ratio was 0.65 and 2.11, respectively. When the dietary CHO/L ratio was 3.13 and 5.36, the plasma contents of testosterone (T) was significantly lower than those of other groups (P = 0.013), and the plasma vitellogenin (VTG) content was the lowest when the CHO/L ratio was 5.36. The plasma contents of estradiol (E2) significantly decreased with increasing dietary CHO/L ratio (P L = 0.012). Lipidomic analysis revealed that the ovary primarily consisted of five subclasses in terms of lipid composition, namely triglyceride, fatty acyl, sterol, glycerophospholipid, and sphingolipid; however, sphingolipids were not detected in the larvae. The relative expression levels of the ovarian lipid metabolism-related genes sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (srebp1), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (acc), delta (12)-oleate desaturase (fad2), and elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 5 (elvol5) significantly increased with increasing dietary CHO/L ratio (P < 0.05). The relative expression levels of lipid metabolism-related genes srebp 1, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (pparα), carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 isoform (cpt), adipose triglyceride lipase (atgl), fad2, and elvol5 in offspring larvae were initially increased and then decreased with increasing dietary CHO/L ratios until reaching a maximum at a ratio of 2.11 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, based on the broken-line regression of the dietary CHO/L ratio and egg diameter, the optimal dietary CHO/L ratio was 1.91 for broodfish yellow catfish. A high CHO/L ratio diet results in increased lipogenesis and hepatic lipid accumulation in maternal organisms, leading to impaired reproductive performance and reduced offspring quality.

Comparing effects of high starch diet or high lipid diet supplemented with different levels of zinc on intestinal barrier and microbe community in largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 154:109911. [PMID: 39293705 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109911] [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: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 08/21/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/20/2024]
Abstract
Zinc is essential for normal growth and reproduction in all animals and plays a crucial role in many biological processes. The present study aimed to compare the intervention effects of zinc on intestinal health in a high lipid diet or high starch diet. Seven iso-nitrogenous (∼520 g kg-1) diets were formulated containing a positive control diet (115 g kg-1 lipid + 115 g kg-1 starch + 20 mg kg-1 Zn), three high starch diets (HS, 166 g kg-1 starch) and three high lipid diets (HL, 182 g kg-1 lipid), with 0 (HS-LZn, HL-LZn), 20 (HS-MZn, HL-MZn) and 150 (HS-HZn, HL-HZn) mg kg-1 Zn being supplemented. High starch diet and high lipid diet promoted feed efficiency, as evidenced by the lower feed conversion ratio. Three-way factorial ANOVA analysis showed high starch diet (166 g kg-1) significantly decreased final body weight and weight gain compared to the normal starch level (115 g kg-1). Diamine oxidase in serum significantly increased in diets HS-LZn and HL-LZn. In addition, distal intestinal mucosal fold damage and inflammatory infiltration were observed in the HS-LZn, HS-HZn, HL-LZn and HL-HZn groups. Fish fed HL diets (HL-LZn, HL-MZn, HL-HZn) showed lower expressions of claudin 5 and claudin 34, and higher IgD and IgM. Diets HL-LZn and HL-MZn significantly up-regulated C4 and C7. Proinflammatory cytokines including il8, il1β and tnfα significantly up-regulated in diet HL-LZn, even higher than the HS-LZn. Intestinal microbial composition indicated the abundance of Cetobacterium in HL-LZn was significantly higher than the control and HL-MZn diets. Similarly, LEfSe showed that Cetobacterium (P = 0.039) significantly enriched in the HL-LZn group. This study clarified high energy diet induced intestinal damage, which can be alleviated by zinc.

The Effect of High Levels Carbohydrate on Intestinal Microbiota, Metabolites, and Health of Common Carp ( Cyprinus carpio L.). AQUACULTURE NUTRITION 2024; 2024:7631021. [PMID: 39555544 PMCID: PMC11524719 DOI: 10.1155/2024/7631021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 09/28/2024] [Indexed: 11/19/2024]
Abstract
Long-term consumption of high-carbohydrate feed may adversely affect intestinal health of fish; however, the underlying roles remain ambiguous. This study examined the effects of varying carbohydrate levels on the intestinal flora of common carp and assessed how microbial metabolites influence intestinal health. Two hundred seventy common carps were chosen and distributed randomly into three groups that fed diets containing starch at levels of 15% (low-carbohydrate diet [LCD]), 28% (medium-carbohydrate diet [MCD]), and 45% (high-carbohydrate diet [HCD]) for 60 days. A significant increase in final body weight, weight gain rate, and specific growth rate within the MCD group, while feed conversion ratio exhibited a decrease in comparison to the other groups (p < 0.05). Feeding with a HCD led to decreased activity of catalase and increased malondialdehyde content, which was consistent with reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis results (p < 0.05). Specifically, the RT-qPCR results revealed that HCD treatment significantly upregulated il1β, il6, and il8 transcript levels. Whereas, the il10 messenger RNA (mRNA) was markedly reduced in comparison to the LCD group. Furthermore, the HCD group exhibited an increased abundance of Proteobacteria, accompanied by a reduction in Fusobacteria abundance, and also revealed an upsurge in opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, such as Aeromonas and Shewanella. The correlation analysis demonstrated negative correlations of anti-inflammatory active substances such as fucoxanthin, (S)-reticuline, hecogenin, and uridine with Aeromonas, but positive correlations with Luteolibacter. In summary, dietary carbohydrates might mediate intestinal flora to regulate their metabolites and affect intestinal inflammatory response.

Hydrolysable tannin improves growth performance and liver health of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fed high soybean meal diets. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133773.

Abstract
This study provided evidence that the inclusion of hydrolysable tannin (HT) in high soybean meal (SBM) diets improved growth performance and glycolipid metabolism of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). In vivo, various levels of HT were added to high SBM diets and fed to largemouth bass (initial weight: 6.00 ± 0.03 g) for 56 days. Results showed that a high level of SBM led to the reduction in growth performance, as evidenced by decreased weight gain rate and impaired hepatic function. Dietary supplementation with HT (1.0 g/kg) improved growth performance of largemouth bass, accompanied by the enhancements in hepatic antioxidant capacity and glycolipid metabolism. In vitro, HT facilitated glucose utilization in hepatocytes and positively influenced the modulation of crucial genes within the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conversely, administration of LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) reversed the detrimental effects observed in hepatocytes exposed to high glucose levels. Overall, incorporating HT (1.0 g/kg) into the diet enhanced liver health and improved the absorption and utilization of SBM in largemouth bass, potentially achieved through modulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective Food accumulation fever (FAF), a common clinical disease in children, is generally induced by the excessive intake of high-calorie or high-fat foods. Zhiqiao Chuanlian decoction (ZQCLD) is a classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that may have therapeutic effects on FAF. Methods Network pharmacological analyses of ZQCLD and FAF were conducted. Animal experiments lasted for 14 days. Rats in the model, positive control, and low-, medium-, and high-dose groups were fed a high-calorie diet. On days 11-14, the positive group was given a domperidone solution. The low-, medium-, and high-dose groups were administered different concentrations of ZQCLD. The body temperature, gastric emptying rate, and intestinal propulsion rate were measured. Relevant indicators were determined by ELISA. Results The main target proteins included IL-1β, C-C motif chemokine 2 (CCL2), prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 (PTGS2), transcription factor AP-1 (JUN), haem oxygenase 1 (HMOX1), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2/iNOS). Compared with those in the control group, body weight, gastric emptying rate, intestinal propulsion rate, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1/nNOS) levels were significantly lower in the model group, whereas body temperature and endotoxin, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), PGE2, and iNOS levels were increased. In each treatment group, body temperature and PGE2 levels returned to normal levels. Compared with those in the model group, the gastric emptying rates in the positive group and the low- and medium-dose groups increased; the intestinal propulsion rates were higher in the medium- and high-dose groups, whereas the endotoxin and IL-1β levels were lower; and the nNOS level was higher in the high-dose group, whereas the iNOS level was lower. Conclusions ZQCLD may treat FAF by regulating jejunal IL-1β and nNOS, serum endotoxin, and hypothalamic PGE2 and iNOS levels.

Effects of Dietary Fish Meal Replaced by Fish Steak Meal on Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, Intestinal Health and Microflora, Inflammatory Response, and Protein Metabolism of Large Yellow Croaker Larimichthys crocea. AQUACULTURE NUTRITION 2023; 2023:2733234. [PMID: 38152156 PMCID: PMC10752682 DOI: 10.1155/2023/2733234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
Although fish steak meal (FSM) is a potentially available protein source, its efficiency as a fish meal (FM) substitute remains unclear to date. To this end, this study was carried out to determine the effects of dietary FM replaced by FSM on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, intestinal health and microflora, inflammatory response, and protein metabolism of large yellow croaker. Five isolipidic and isonitrogenous diets were formulated by substituting FM with FSM at levels of 0% (FSM0, control diet), 25% (FSM25), 50% (FSM50), 75% (FSM75), and 100% (FSM100), and were fed to juvenile large yellow croaker for 8 weeks. Compared with the control diet, the replacement of 25% dietary FM with FSM did not markedly alter the weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR). When the FM substitution level was over 25%, WG and SGR markedly reduced. The intestinal structure observation found that the FSM75 and FSM100 diets markedly decreased villus height, villus width, and muscle thickness of the anterior intestine. The FSM75 and FSM100 diets significantly decreased enzyme activities of amylase (AMS), lipase (LPS), trypsin, catalase (CAT), and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the liver of large yellow croaker. The mRNA expression levels of intestinal barrier and inflammatory response-related genes suggested that the FSM50, FSM75, and FSM100 diets significantly decreased the mRNA abundances of intestinal barrier-related genes and anti-inflammatory response-related genes, and increased the mRNA abundances of proinflammatory gene il-6 in the anterior intestine. The compositions of intestinal microflora displayed that the FSM50, FSM75, and FSM100 diets decreased relative abundances of Firmicutes phylum and increased relative abundances of Proteobacteria phylum. In addition, the results of protein expression levels showed that the phosphorylation level of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) in FSM75 and FSM100 groups were markedly reduced. In conclusion, FSM can replace up to 25% dietary FM without compromising the growth performance, intestinal health, and protein metabolism of the large yellow croaker.

C33 for Enhancing Nile Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus) Cultures. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2922. [PMID: 38138066 PMCID: PMC10745334 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11122922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The bacterium strain Cetobacterium sp. C33 was isolated from the intestinal microbial content of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) under anaerobic conditions. Given that Cetobacterium species are recognized as primary constituents of the intestinal microbiota in cultured Nile tilapia by culture-independent techniques, the adaptability of the C33 strain to the host gastrointestinal conditions, its antibacterial activity against aquaculture bacterial and its antibiotic susceptibility were assessed. The genome of C33 was sequenced, assembled, annotated, and subjected to functional inference, particularly regarding pinpointed probiotic activities. Furthermore, phylogenomic comparative analyses were performed including closely reported strains/species relatives. Comparative genomics with closely related species disclosed that the isolate is not phylogenetically identical to other Cetobacterium species, displaying an approximately 5% sequence divergence from C. somerae and a 13% sequence divergence from Cetobacterium ceti. It can be distinguished from other species through physiological and biochemical criteria. Whole-genome annotation highlighted that Cetobacterium sp. nov. C33 possesses a set of genes that may contribute to antagonism against competing bacteria and has specific symbiotic adaptations in fish. Additional in vivo experiments should be carried out to verify favorable features, reinforcing its potential as a probiotic bacterium.

Abstract
Sustained dysfunction of the intestinal barrier caused by early weaning is a major factor that induces postweaning diarrhea in weaned piglets. In both healthy and diseased states, the intestinal barrier is regulated by goblet cells. Alterations in the characteristics of goblet cells are linked to intestinal barrier dysfunction and inflammatory conditions during pathogenic infections. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) in maintaining intestinal barrier function and how modifications to these systems affect mucus barrier characteristics and goblet cell dysregulation. We highlight a novel mechanism underlying the UPR-AGR2 pathway, which affects goblet cell differentiation and maturation and the synthesis and secretion of mucin by regulating epidermal growth factor receptor and mucin 2. This study provides a theoretical basis and new insights into the regulation of intestinal health in weaned piglets.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 267:115672. [PMID: 37951092 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/13/2023]
Abstract
This experiment aimed to investigate the protective effects of berberine on copper-induced liver and gill toxicities in freshwater grouper (Acrossocheilus fasciatus). Fish (initial weight 1.56 ± 0.10 g) were randomly distributed into 12 tanks (80 L, 20 fish per tank) and divided into four experimental groups: The control group, exposed to 0.02 mg/L Cu2+ (Cu group), exposed to 0.02 mg/L Cu2+ and fed 100 mg/kg berberine (BBR100 group), and exposed to 0.02 mg/L Cu2+ and fed 400 mg/kg berberine (BBR400 group). After a 30-day experiment, the results showed that berberine significantly increased the activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the liver, gills, and serum inhibited by Cu2+ exposure (P < 0.05). Berberine inclusion significantly decreased the activities of lysozyme and acid phosphatase, as well as the content of immunoglobulin M compared to the Cu group (P < 0.05). Berberine significantly suppressed the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 signaling transducer, and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 in the liver and gills induced by Cu2+ exposure while downregulating the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor β1. Additionally, berberine significantly reduced the activities of the liver injury markers alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase, the levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride in serum, as well as alleviated the histopathological damage in the liver and gills caused by Cu2+ exposure. In summary, berberine enhanced antioxidant capacity, mitigated inflammation, and exerted significant protective effects on liver and gill damage in freshwater grouper under Cu2+ exposure.

Abstract
Lipid-lowering therapy is an important tool for the treatment of lipid metabolic diseases, which are increasing in prevalence. However, the failure of conventional lipid-lowering drugs to achieve the desired efficacy in some patients, and the side-effects of these drug regimens, highlight the urgent need for novel lipid-lowering drugs. The liver and intestine are important in the production and removal of endogenous and exogenous lipids, respectively, and have an important impact on circulating lipid levels. Elevated circulating lipids predisposes an individual to lipid deposition in the vascular wall, affecting vascular function. Berberine (BBR) modulates liver lipid production and clearance by regulating cellular targets such as cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP), scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI), low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). It influences intestinal lipid synthesis and metabolism by modulating gut microbiota composition and metabolism. Finally, BBR maintains vascular function by targeting proteins such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1). This paper elucidates and summarizes the pharmacological mechanisms of berberine in lipid metabolic diseases from a multi-organ (liver, intestine, and vascular system) and multi-target perspective.

Abstract
Nanoplastics and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) are ubiquitous emerging contaminants that are transferred among organisms through food chain in the ecosystem. This study evaluated the trophic transfer of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) and DEHP in a food chain including Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Daphnia magna and Micropterus salmoides (algae-crustacean-fish) and lipid metabolism at a higher trophic level in fish. Our results showed that the PSNPs and DEHP accumulated in C. pyrenoidosa or D. magna were transferred to the M. salmoides, of which the DEHP were not biomagnified, while the PSNPs were trophically amplified by the food chain. It is suggested that more PSNPs might be accumulated by higher level consumers in a longer food chain. Additionally, the trophic transfer of PSNPs and DEHP resulted in antioxidant response and histopathological damage in M. salmoides. Moreover, the lipid biochemical parameters and lipid metabolism related genes (fasn, hsl, cpt1a, atgl, apob, fabp1, lpl, cetp) of M. salmoides were significantly affected, which indicated disturbance of lipid metabolism. This study offers great insight into the transfer of contaminants by trophic transfer and their negative effects on organisms at higher trophic levels, which cause human exposure to MNPs and organic contaminants in the ecosystem.

Abstract
Intestinal inflammation is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder with uncertain pathophysiology and causation that has significantly impacted both the physical and mental health of both people and animals. An increasing body of research has demonstrated the critical role of cellular signaling pathways in initiating and managing intestinal inflammation. This review focuses on the interactions of three cellular signaling pathways (TLR4/NF-κB, PI3K-AKT, MAPKs) with immunity and gut microbiota to explain the possible pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation. Traditional medicinal drugs frequently have drawbacks and negative side effects. This paper also summarizes the pharmacological mechanism and application of Chinese herbal compounds (Berberine, Sanguinarine, Astragalus polysaccharide, Curcumin, and Cannabinoids) and formulae (Wumei Wan, Gegen-Qinlian decoction, Banxia xiexin decoction) against intestinal inflammation. We show that the herbal compounds and formulae may influence the interactions among cell signaling pathways, immune function, and gut microbiota in humans and animals, exerting their immunomodulatory capacity and anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. This demonstrates their strong potential to improve gut inflammation. We aim to promote herbal medicine and apply it to multispecies animals to achieve better health.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase α subunit (AMPKα), the central regulatory molecule of energy metabolism, plays an important role in maintaining energy homeostasis and helping cells to resist the influence of various adverse factors. In the present study, an AMPKα was identified from Yesso scallop Patinopecten yessoensis (PyAMPKα). The open reading frame (ORF) of PyAMPKα was of 1599 bp encoding a putative polypeptide of 533 amino acid residues with a typical KD domain, a α-AID domain and a α-CTD domain. The deduced amino acid sequence of PyAMPKα shared 59.89-74.78% identities with AMPKαs from other species. The mRNA transcripts of PyAMPKα were found to be expressed in haemocytes and all the examined tissues, including gill, mantle, gonad, adductor muscle and hepatopancreas, with the highest expression level in adductor muscle. PyAMPKα was mainly located in cytoplasm of scallop haemocytes. At 3 h after high temperature stress treatment (25 °C), the mRNA transcripts of PyAMPKα, the phosphorylation level of PyAMPKα at Thr170 and the lactic acid (LD) content in adductor muscle all increased significantly, while the glycogen content decreased significantly. The activity of pyruvate kinase (PyPK) and the relative mRNA expression level of phosphofructokinase (PyPFK) were significantly up-regulated at 3 h after high temperature stress treatment (25 °C). Furthermore, the PyAMPKα activator AICAR could effectively upregulate the phosphorylation level of PyAMPKα, and increase activities of PyPFK and pyruvate kinase (PyPK). Meanwhile the glycogen content also declined under AICAR treatment. These results collectively suggested that PyAMPKα was involved in the high temperature stress response of scallops by enhancing glycolysis pathway of glycogen. These results would be helpful for understanding the functions of PyAMPKα in maintaining energy homeostasis under high temperature stress in scallops.

[PMID: 37520290 PMCID: PMC10374375 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6672985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
The present study investigated the sequential regulation signals of high-carbohydrate diet (HCD)-induced hepatic lipid deposition in gibel carp (Carassius gibelio). Two isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets, containing 25% (normal carbohydrate diet, NCD) and 45% (HCD) corn starch, were formulated to feed gibel carp (14.82 ± 0.04 g) for 8 weeks. The experimental fish were sampled at 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th week. In HCD group, the hyperlipidemia and significant hepatic lipid deposition (oil red O area and triglyceride content) was found at 4th, 6th, and 8th week, while the significant hyperglycemia was found at 2nd, 4th, and 8th week, compared to NCD group (P < 0.05). HCD induced hepatic lipid deposition via increased hepatic lipogenesis (acc, fasn, and acly) but not decreased hepatic lipolysis (hsl and cpt1a). When compared with NCD group, HCD significantly elevated the hepatic sterol regulatory element binding proteins 1 (SREBP1) signals (positive hepatocytes and fluorescence intensity) at 4th, 6th, and 8th week (P < 0.05). The hepatic SREBP1 signals increased from 2nd to 6th week, but decreased at 8th week due to substantiated insulin resistance (plasma insulin levels, plasma glucose levels, and P-AKTSer473 levels) in HCD group. Importantly, the hepatic carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) signals (positive hepatocytes, fluorescence intensity, and expression levels) were all significantly elevated by HCD-induced glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) accumulation at 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th week (P < 0.05). Compared to 2nd and 4th week, the hepatic ChREBP signals and G6P contents was significantly increased by HCD at 6th and 8th week (P < 0.05). The HCD-induced G6P accumulation was caused by the significantly increased expression of hepatic gck, pklr, and glut2 (P < 0.05) but not 6pfk at 4th, 6th, and 8th week, compared to NCD group. These results suggested that the HCD-induced hepatic lipid deposition was mainly promoted by SREBP1 in earlier stage and by ChREBP in later stage for gibel carp. This study revealed the sequential regulation pathways of the conversion from feed carbohydrate to body lipid in fish.

Dietary berberine against intestinal oxidative stress, inflammation response, and microbiota disturbance caused by chronic copper exposure in freshwater grouper (Acrossocheilus fasciatus). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023:108910. [PMID: 37385463 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
Berberine (BBR) is known for its strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and capacity to preserve intestinal microbiota balance in fish. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of berberine against copper-induced toxicity in the intestine of freshwater grouper Acrossocheilus fasciatus. The experiment involved four groups: a control group, a Cu group exposed to 0.02 mg/L Cu2+, and two BBR groups fed with 100 or 400 mg/kg of berberine diets and exposed to the same Cu2+ concentration. Three replicates of healthy fish (initial weight 1.56 ± 0.10 g) were subjected to their respective treatments for 30 days. Results showed that none of the treatments significantly affected the survival rate, final weight, weight gain, and feed intake (P > 0.05). However, supplementation with 100 and 400 mg/kg of BBR significantly lowered the antioxidant activities, and glutathione peroxidase (gpx) and superoxide dismutase (sod) expression levels, as well as reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content caused by Cu2+ exposure (P < 0.05). Berberine inclusion significantly downregulated proinflammatory factors NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (nlrp3), interleukin 1 beta (il1β), interleukin 6 cytokine family signal transducer (il6st) but upregulated transforming growth factor beta 1 (tgfβ1) and heat shock 70kDa protein (hsp70) expression. Moreover, berberine at both levels maintained the intestinal structural integrity and significantly improved gap junction gamma-1 (gjc1) mRNA level compared to the Cu group (P < 0.05). Based on 16S rDNA sequencing, the richness and diversity of intestinal microbiota in different groups were not significantly influenced. Berberine reduced the Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio and stifled the growth of some specific pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Citrobacter, and Acinetobacter, while boosting the richness of potential probiotic bacteria, including Roseomonas and Reyranella compared with the Cu group. In conclusion, berberine showed significant protective effects against Cu2+-induced intestinal oxidative stress, inflammation response, and microbiota disturbance in freshwater grouper.

Attenuated glucose uptake promotes catabolic metabolism through activated AMPK signaling and impaired insulin signaling in zebrafish. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1187283. [PMID: 37305084 PMCID: PMC10250679 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1187283] [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: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Glucose metabolism in fish remains a controversial area of research as many fish species are traditionally considered glucose-intolerant. Although energy homeostasis remodeling has been observed in fish with inhibited fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO), the effects and mechanism of the remodeling caused by blocked glucose uptake remain poorly understood. In this study, we blocked glucose uptake by knocking out glut2 in zebrafish. Intriguingly, the complete lethality, found in Glut2-null mice, was not observed in glut2-/- zebrafish. Approxiamately 30% of glut2-/- fish survived to adulthood and could reproduce. The maternal zygotic mutant glut2 (MZglut2) fish exhibited growth retardation, decreased blood and tissue glucose levels, and low locomotion activity. The decreased pancreatic β-cell numbers and insulin expression, as well as liver insulin receptor a (insra), fatty acid synthesis (chrebp, srebf1, fasn, fads2, and scd), triglyceride synthesis (dgat1a), and muscle mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mtor) of MZglut2 zebrafish, suggest impaired insulin-dependent anabolic metabolism. Upregulated expression of lipolysis (atgl and lpl) and FAO genes (cpt1aa and cpt1ab) in the liver and proteolysis genes (bckdk, glud1b, and murf1a) in muscle were observed in the MZglut2 zebrafish, as well as elevated levels of P-AMPK proteins in both the liver and muscle, indicating enhanced catabolic metabolism associated with AMPK signaling. In addition, decreased amino acids and elevated carnitines of the MZglut2 zebrafish supported the decreased protein and lipid content of the whole fish. In summary, we found that blocked glucose uptake impaired insulin signaling-mediated anabolism via β-cell loss, while AMPK signaling-mediated catabolism was enhanced. These findings reveal the mechanism of energy homeostasis remodeling caused by blocked glucose uptake, which may be a potential strategy for adapting to low glucose levels.

Front Physiol 2023; 14:1147001. [PMID: 36969581 PMCID: PMC10033662 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1147001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
This study examined the role of intestinal microbiota in berberine (BBR)-mediated glucose (GLU) metabolism regulation in largemouth bass. Four groups of largemouth bass (133.7 ± 1.43 g) were fed with control diet, BBR (1 g/kg feed) supplemented diet, antibiotic (ATB, 0.9 g/kg feed) supplemented diet and BBR + ATB (1g/kg feed +0.9 g/kg feed) supplemented diet for 50 days. BBR improved growth, decreased the hepatosomatic and visceral weight indices, significantly downregulated the serum total cholesterol and GLU levels, and significantly upregulated the serum total bile acid (TBA) levels. The hepatic hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, GLU-6-phosphatase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activities in the largemouth bass were significantly upregulated when compared with those in the control group. The ATB group exhibited significantly decreased final bodyweight, weight gain, specific growth rates and serum TBA levels, and significantly increased hepatosomatic and viscera weight indices, hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate carboxylase activities, and serum GLU levels. Meanwhile, the BBR + ATB group exhibited significantly decreased final weight, weight gain and specific growth rates, and TBA levels and significantly increased hepatosomatic and viscera weight indices and GLU levels. High-throughput sequencing revealed that compared with those in the control group, the Chao one index and Bacteroidota contents were significantly upregulated and the Firmicutes contents were downregulated in the BBR group. Additionally, the Shannon and Simpson indices and Bacteroidota levels were significantly downregulated, whereas the Firmicutes levels were significantly upregulated in ATB and BBR + ATB groups. The results of in-vitro culture of intestinal microbiota revealed that BBR significantly increased the number of culturable bacteria. The characteristic bacterium in the BBR group was Enterobacter cloacae. Biochemical identification analysis revealed that E. cloacae metabolizes carbohydrates. The size and degree of vacuolation of the hepatocytes in the control, ATB, and ATB + BBR groups were higher than those in the BBR group. Additionally, BBR decreased the number of nuclei at the edges and the distribution of lipids in the liver tissue. Collectively, BBR reduced the blood GLU level and improved GLU metabolism in largemouth bass. Comparative analysis of experiments with ATB and BBR supplementation revealed that BBR regulated GLU metabolism in largemouth bass by modulating intestinal microbiota.

Abstract
MAFLD/NAFLD is the most ordinary liver disease categorized by hepatic steatosis with the increase of surplus fat in the liver and metabolic liver dysfunction, which is associated with bigger mortality and a high medical burden. An association between MAFLD/NAFLD and central nervous system disorders including psychological disorders has been demonstrated. Additionally, MAFLD/NAFLD has been correlated with various types of neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease. Contrasted to healthy controls, patients with MAFLD/NAFLD have a greater prevalence risk of extrahepatic complications within multiple organs. Dietary interventions have emerged as effective strategies for MAFLD/NAFLD. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway involved in the regulation of Th17/Treg balance might promote the pathogenesis of several diseases including MAFLD/NAFLD. As extrahepatic complications may happen across various organs including CNS, cooperative care with individual experts is also necessary for managing patients with MAFLD/NAFLD.
