Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 toxin on intestinal barrier function, endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammatory response of laying hens under heat stress. Ninety-six 36-week-old Jinghong No.1 laying hens with similar body weight were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 replicates per group and 3 hens per replicate. Broilers in the control group (CON group) were fed a basal diet, and others in DON group, T-2 group and DON+T-2 group were fed basal diets supplemented with 3.00 mg/kg DON, 0.50 mg/kg T-2 toxin and 1.50 mg/kg DON+0.25 mg/kg T-2 toxin, respectively. The pretrial period lasted for 3 days, and the trial period lasted for 28 days. The average daytime temperature and humidity index was 84.87. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with CON group, the duodenal and jejunal crypt depth in T-2 group was significantly increased (P<0.05), the jejunal crypt depth in DON+T-2 group was significantly increased (P<0.05), the duodenal villus height/crypt depth (V/C) value in DON, T-2 and DON+T-2 groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the jejunal V/C value in T-2 and DON+T-2 groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the ileal crypt depth in DON group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with CON group, the serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content in DON, T-2 and DON+T-2 groups was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum diamine oxidase (DAO) content in DON+T-2 group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with CON group, the ileum mucosal interleukin-6 (IL-6) content in DON, T-2 and DON+T-2 groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with CON group, the ileum mucosal Occludin mRNA relative expression levels in T-2 and DON+T-2 groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 5) Compared with CON group, the mRNA relative expression levels of glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78) and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) in ileum mucosa in DON+T-2 group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the ileum mucosal activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4) mRNA relative expression level in DON group was significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, under the condition of summer heat stress, dietary supplementation of 3.00 mg/kg DON and 0.50 mg/kg T-2 can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation in small intestine tissues of laying hens, and damage mucosal morphology and barrier function, and the two have detailed cumulative effects.

我国南方地区夏季气候环境以高温高湿为普遍特征,极易造成饲料原料及配合饲料发生霉变,进而产生大量霉菌毒素。同时,南方夏季炎热潮湿,对于高密度养殖的蛋鸡,热应激问题时常存在。在热应激条件下,蛋鸡自身抵抗力下降,这时饲粮中的霉菌毒素对蛋鸡肠道的损伤会大大加重。脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON,又名呕吐毒素)、T-2毒素同属于单端孢霉烯族类毒素。DON属于B型单端孢霉烯族类毒素[1],能抑制蛋白质、DNA和RNA的合成,增加肠上皮的渗透性,损伤脑组织,有很强的细胞毒性、胃肠毒性和神经毒性[2-3]。T-2毒素属于A型单端孢霉烯族类毒素,具有细胞毒性,能抑制蛋白质合成,诱导细胞凋亡和程序性细胞死亡[4-5]
家禽的肠道不仅具有消化吸收功能,同时也具有阻止肠腔内的有害物质进入机体的屏障功能[6]。肠道黏膜上皮屏障主要由机械屏障、化学屏障、免疫屏障和微生物屏障组成,其屏障功能完整性对于维持肠道稳态乃至机体健康至关重要[7]。霉菌毒素污染会作用于肠上皮细胞内质网,导致未折叠或错误折叠的蛋白质在内质网腔中过量累积,从而引发内质网应激,持续的内质网应激则会导致动物肠黏膜屏障损伤并诱发肠道炎症[8-9]。研究报道,5 μmol/L黄曲霉毒素B1可引发牛乳腺上皮细胞内质网应激并诱导细胞凋亡,3-乙酰脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇可诱导巨噬细胞Raw264.7内质网应激相关蛋白表达水平升高[10-11]。用DON处理离体培养的猪空肠组织会导致肠绒毛变短、肠细胞裂解和水肿[12]。DON还可降低猪回肠组织中闭锁蛋白(Occludin)和闭合蛋白-1(Claudin-1)的基因表达[13]。DON与玉米赤霉烯酮(ZEA)联合会诱发仔猪血清和空肠炎症反应[14]
目前,国内外对霉菌毒素的毒性研究大多局限于单一毒素,DON与T-2毒素联合摄入对蛋鸡肠道屏障功能的影响报道尚少。因此,本试验以蛋鸡为研究对象,在夏季自然高温环境下,探讨DON与T-2毒素单一及联合暴露对热应激蛋鸡肠道屏障功能及内质网应激和炎症反应的影响,并进一步明确二者之间是否存在累加效应,为霉菌毒素单一及联合暴露在家禽肠道屏障方面的研究提供试验依据。

3 讨论

依据前人研究,产蛋鸡轻度热应激为温湿指数≥78,严重热应激为温湿指数≥83[16]。本试验中3个时间段平均温湿指数为84.87,表明本试验蛋鸡已经处于严重热应激状态。从产蛋性能分析,3.00 mg/kg DON与0.50 mg/kg T-2毒素单独暴露均无显著影响;两者联合暴露相较于对照组,36~37周龄、38~39周龄的平均日采食量分别降低了13.23%和7.50%,36~39周龄平均日采食量和平均蛋重分别降低了10.21%和6.87%,38~39周龄平均蛋重降低了11.31%。

3.1 DON与T-2对热应激蛋鸡小肠组织形态结构的影响

肠道是动物机体吸收各种营养物质的主要场所[17],其健康发育对家禽生长至关重要。小肠绒毛高度、隐窝深度及V/C值是衡量肠道机械屏障的重要指标[18-19]。绒毛高度越高与食糜接触的表面积就越多,对营养物质的吸收越充分;隐窝深度与肠上皮细胞的增殖率成反比,隐窝深度变浅表明肠黏膜上皮绒毛吸收能力增强[20]。V/C值则是小肠功能的综合体现,V/C值降低说明小肠的消化吸收能力减弱。研究表明,霉菌毒素可通过破坏肠上皮的形态和组织完整性来破坏肠黏膜的物理屏障功能[21]。DON促使猪和鸡肠道上皮病变,例如肠绒毛顶端坏死、绒毛萎缩、肠细胞出现空泡、固有层水肿等[22-24],而关于T-2毒素对家禽肠道屏障功能方面的影响少见报道。在本研究中,DON组回肠、T-2组十二指肠和空肠、DON+T-2组空肠隐窝深度显著升高,T-2、DON+T-2组十二指肠、空肠V/C值显著降低,DON组十二指肠V/C值显著降低。这说明DON(3.00 mg/kg)、T-2毒素(0.50 mg/kg)以及二者剂量减半(1.50 mg/kg DON+0.25 mg/kg T-2毒素)联合暴露均会损伤热应激蛋鸡的小肠黏膜组织形态,降低小肠上皮细胞增殖率,减弱肠道上皮绒毛的吸收能力,不利于肠道对营养物质的吸收。

3.2 DON与T-2毒素对热应激蛋鸡小肠组织屏障损伤的影响

肠道黏膜屏障功能和结构的完整性对维持家禽肠道健康有重要意义。肠道上皮细胞主要是通过紧密连接蛋白来维持细胞极性和调节黏膜屏障通透性的。闭合蛋白(Claudin)、Occludin、ZO-1是几个关键的紧密连接蛋白。研究发现,Occludin、Claudin-1和ZO-1会影响肠道通透性,因此在肠道紧密连接屏障中发挥着重要作用[25]。Pinton等[26]研究发现,DON通过降低紧密连接蛋白Claudin-4的表达,导致猪肠道上皮屏障功能损伤。Osselaere等[24]利用猪肠上皮细胞研究表明,单端孢霉烯族化合物通过降低紧密连接蛋白的表达来增加肠道通透性。在本研究中,饲粮中0.50 mg/kg T-2毒素和1.50 mg/kg DON+0.25 mg/kg T-2毒素暴露使得热应激蛋鸡回肠黏膜Occludin mRNA相对表达量显著降低。这表明饲粮中0.50 mg/kg T-2毒素、1.50 mg/kg DON+0.25 mg/kg T-2毒素暴露可增加家禽肠道通透性,不利于抵御病原菌入侵,破坏了肠道紧密连接结构,进而降低产蛋鸡对营养物质的吸收效率。LPS、DAO、D-LA可作为反映肠道屏障功能损伤的理想指标。当肠道黏膜屏障功能受损时,肠道通透性会增加,血液中DAO、D-LA、LPS含量会增加。张聪[27]研究表明,4 mg/kg DON暴露会提高仔猪血清DAO含量。在本研究中,饲粮中3.00 mg/kg DON与0.50 mg/kg T-2毒素单独暴露显著提高热应激蛋鸡血清LPS含量,两者联合暴露显著提高产蛋鸡血清LPS、DAO含量。这表明DON与T-2毒素单独及联合暴露均导致热应激蛋鸡肠道通透性增加,这与本试验发现T-2组、DON+T-2组回肠黏膜Occludin mRNA相对表达量显著降低结果相一致。因此我们推测DON和T-2毒素可能通过影响肠道紧密连接蛋白表达、增加肠道通透性的方式来损伤产蛋鸡肠道机械屏障功能,从而抑制肠道对营养物质的消化吸收。

3.3 DON与T-2毒素对热应激蛋鸡小肠组织内质网应激和炎症反应的影响

霉菌毒素会引发动物机体发生内质网应激。内质网应激会激活未折叠蛋白质反应。过度的内质网应激可通过诱导肠上皮细胞凋亡和肠道促炎反应引起炎性肠病[28]。大量的研究表明,在肠上皮细胞中发生内质网应激时,常常伴随GRP78/免疫球蛋白结合蛋白(BiP)mRNA相对表达量的显著升高[29-30]。在本研究中,DON+T-2组热应激蛋鸡回肠黏膜GRP78 mRNA相对表达量显著升高,提示1.50 mg/kg DON+0.25 mg/kg T-2毒素引起热应激蛋鸡回肠发生了内质网应激。未折叠蛋白质反应共包含IRE1、PERK、ATF6 3条信号通路。细胞受到刺激诱发内质网应激时,IRE1会利用其核酸内切酶活性剪切XBP1,使其成为有功能活性的XBP1剪接异构体。在本研究中,DON+T-2组热应激蛋鸡回肠黏膜XBP1 mRNA相对表达量显著升高,提示DON与T-2毒素联合通过激活IRE1信号通路来引发肠内质网应激,从而损伤肠道黏膜。此外,肌醇需求酶1α(IRE1α)是将内质网应激与炎症反应串联起来的关键因子。IRE1自身磷酸化并与肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子2(TRAF2)结合,以IRE1α-TRAF2的复合形式招募核因子κB抑制蛋白(IκB),使得核因子-κB(NF-κB)被解离进入细胞核,进而诱发炎症基因转录。在本研究中,DON、T-2组热应激蛋鸡回肠黏膜IL-6含量显著升高,这可能是由于毒素诱发了内质网应激,内质网应激又诱发了肠道炎症反应引起的。ATF4是PERK信号通路中真核翻译起始因子2亚基α(eIF2α)的下游信号分子,当发生内质网应激时,活化的PERK会使eIF2α磷酸化,进一步研究发现,eIF2α磷酸化后可选择性促进ATF4的翻译[31]。在本研究中,DON组热应激蛋鸡回肠黏膜ATF4 mRNA相对表达量显著升高,提示3.00 mg/kg DON通过激活未折叠蛋白质反应中PERK信号通路引发的肠内质网应激。以上结果表明,3.00 mg/kg DON、1.50 mg/kg DON+0.25 mg/kg T-2毒素分别通过激活PERK、IRE1信号通路诱发热应激蛋鸡回肠黏膜发生内质网应激,且进一步诱发了肠道炎症反应。

4 结论

① 饲粮DON与T-2毒素暴露可能通过诱发热应激产蛋鸡小肠组织细胞内质网应激和炎症反应的机制,进而增加小肠组织通透性,降低紧密连接蛋白表达,损伤黏膜组织形态结构,从而破坏夏季热应激条件下36~39周龄产蛋鸡肠道屏障功能。
② DON与T-2毒素联合作用较单独作用的负面影响更大,说明DON和T-2毒素在热应激条件下存在一定的累加效应。
