Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of sanguinarine (SAG) on growth performance, immune function and gut heath of immune-stressed weaned piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Twenty-four healthy "Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire" weaned piglets at (21±1) days of age with average body weight of (6.20±0.09) kg were randomly assigned to 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 1 piglet per replicate according to similar body weight. The 4 groups were control (CON) group (basal diet), LPS group (basal diet and injected intraperitoneally with 100 μg/kg BW LPS), SAG group (basal diet supplemented with 50 mg/kg SAG) and SAG+LPS group (basal diet supplemented with 50 mg/kg SAG and injected intraperitoneally with 100 μg/kg BW LPS), respectively. A 2×2 double-factor design was used, and the main factors were SAG (added or not in diet) and LPS (injected intraperitoneally or not). Weaned piglets were injected intraperitoneally with 100 μg/kg BW LPS or an equivalent amount of sterile saline at days 14 and 21. The trail lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follows:1) before challenged with LPS (days 1 to 14), dietary SAG significantly increased average daily feed intake (ADFI) and average daily gain (ADG) of weaned piglets and significantly decreased the ratio of feed to gain (F/G) (P<0.05). During the period of challenged with LPS (days 15 to 21), LPS challenge significantly decreased ADG and ADFI and significantly increased F/G (P<0.05), and dietary SAG significantly increased ADFI and ADG and significantly decreased F/G (P<0.05). 2) After the LPS challenge, both dietary SAG and LPS challenge significantly increased the contents of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in serum of weaned piglets (P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the contents of IgG and IgM in serum were significantly increased in SAG+LPS group (P<0.05). 3) After the LPS challenge, LPS challenge significantly increased the contents of interleukin (IL)-1β、IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum of weaned piglets (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the content of IL-10 in serum (P<0.05). Dietary SAG significantly decreased the contents of IL-1β、IL-6 and TNF-α in serum (P<0.05), and significantly increased the content of IL-10 in serum (P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the contents of IL-1β、IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were significantly decreased and the content of IL-10 in serum was significantly increased in the SAG+LPS group (P<0.05). The interaction of dietary SAG and LPS challenge had a significant effect on the content of TNF-α in serum (P<0.05). 4) After the LPS challenge, LPS challenge significantly increased the content of D-lactate (D-LA) and the activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) in serum of weaned piglets (P<0.05). Dietary SAG significantly decreased the content of D-LA and the activity of DAO in serum (P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the content of D-LA and the activity of DAO in serum were significantly decreased in SAG+LPS group (P<0.05). The interaction of dietary SAG and LPS challenge had a significant effects on the content of D-LA and the activity of DAO in serum (P<0.05). 5) After the LPS challenge, LPS challenge significantly decreased villus height (VH) and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth (V/C) of duodenum and ileum of weaned piglets (P<0.05), and significantly increased crypt depth (CD) of duodenum (P<0.05). Dietary SAG significantly increased VH and V/C of duodenum, jejunum and ileum (P<0.05), and significantly decreased CD of duodenum (P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, VH and V/C were significantly increased of duodenum, jejunum and ileum (P<0.05), and CD of duodenum was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary SAG can alleviate the decline of growth performance of weaned piglets caused by immunological stress, increase the contents of IgG and IgM in serum, inhabit the increase of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α contents and the decrease of IL-10 content in serum, and then improve immune resistance, alleviate the increase of intestinal permeability and improve intestinal mucosal morphology, and improve the intestinal health of weaned piglets.
