Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different concentration of seaweed polysaccharides on expression of tight junction protein and related genes in nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2 cells). The IPEC-J2 cells were treated with seaweed polysaccharides culture medium with concentrations of 0 (control), 60, 120 and 240 μg/mL, cultured for 24 h, and the effects of seaweed polysaccharides on expression of mechanical barrier and immune barrier related gene and protein in IPEC-J2 cells were analysed. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, 60 and 120 μg/mL seaweed polysaccharides significantly upregulated the mRNA relative expression levels of occludin and zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) (P<0.05); but no significant differences were observed in the mRNA relative expression levels of occludin and ZO-1 between control group and 240 μg/mL seaweed polysaccharides group (P>0.05). Compared with control group, 120 and 240 μg/mL seaweed polysaccharides significantly upregulated the mRNA relative expression level of claudin-1 (P<0.05). Compared with control group, 120 and 240 μg/mL seaweed polysaccharides significantly upregulated the protein relative expression levels of claudin-1 and ZO-1 (P<0.05). 2) Compared with control group, 60, 120 and 240 μg/mL seaweed polysaccharides significantly decreased the mRNA relative expression levels of myeloid differentiation protein 88 (MyD88) and p65 (P<0.05), and 240 μg/mL seaweed polysaccharides significantly decreased the mRNA relative expression levels of Toll like receptor-4 (TLR-4) and nuclear transcription factor inhibitor protein α (IκBα) (P<0.05). In conclusion, seaweed polysaccharides can upregulate the mRNA relative expression levels of occludin, claudin-1 and ZO-1 in IPEC-J2 cells, and decrease the expression of NF-κB signaling pathway related gene in IPEC-J2 cells, and have positive effects on improv the barrier function of porcine epithelial cells.
