Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the expression changes of genes and miRNA related to inflammation and protein degradation in gastrocnemius of weaned piglets challenged by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 24 h. Twelve healthy Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshine 28-day-old weaned piglets[body weight:(7.09±0.90) kg] were selected, and randomly divided into 2 groups:control group (n=6) and LPS group (n=6). All piglets were allowed ad libitum access to water and feed. On day 15 of experiment, the piglets in LPS group were injected with LPS (100 μg/kg BW) and sacrificed at 24 h post-injection. The control group received the same amount of sterile saline, and sacrificed immediately after the injection. Gastrocnemius samples were selected for testing. The results showed as follows:at 24 h after LPS treatment, the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), as well as the key genes of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway including TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and interleukin receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) were significantly increased in gastrocnemius (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and protein degradation-related gene forkhead box O4 (FOXO4) were also significantly increased (P<0.05). Moreover, miR-145 expression level in gastrocnemius was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the expression levels of miR-30b, miR-155, miR-132, miR-130a and miR-146a were significantly decreased at 24 h after LPS treatment (P<0.05). The results indicate that the gastrocnemius injury can be caused by the up-regulation of FOXO4 expression mediated by TLR4 signaling pathway at 24 h after LPS treatment. The miRNA may be involved in muscle inflammation and protein degradation at 24 h after LPS stimulation.
