Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of tannic acid (TA) on the growth performance, intestinal barrier function and antioxidant capacity of piglets infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Twenty-four 7-day-old healthy piglets (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire), with an initial body weight of (2.72±0.22) kg, were divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group, and 1 pig per replicate. The groups were as follows: control group, TA group, PEDV group and PEDV+TA group. The experiment was divided into 2 stages as pre-infected stage (days 1 to 8) and infected stage (days 9 to 12). On days 1 to 8, piglets in the TA group and PEDV+TA group were orally administered with 190 mg/kg BW TA, and piglets in the control group and PEDV group were orally administered with liquid milk replacer at the same volume; on day 9, piglets in the PEDV group and PEDV+TA group were orally administered PEDV suspension at a dose of 106 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infection dose) per pig, piglets in the control group and TA group were orally administered with phosphate buffered solution at the same volume. The results showed that, before PEDV infection, the average daily gain (ADG) of piglets in TA group was significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.05). After PEDV infection, the ADG of piglets was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the feed/gain (F/G) and diarrhea index were significantly increased (P<0.05); the serum D-xylose content was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and serum diamine oxidase activity and intestinal damage scores of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon were significantly increased (P<0.05); the villus height (VH) of duodenum, jejunum and ileum and the villus area (VA) of duodenum and ileum were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the crypt depth (CD) of jejunum, ileum and colon was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the VH/CD of duodenum, jejunum and ileum was significantly decreased (P<0.05); the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) in serum were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the activities of GSH-Px in jejunum, ileum and colon, T-SOD in ileum and colon, and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in jejunum were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) in jejunum and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in duodenum and colon were significantly increased (P<0.05). TA administration could significantly mitigate the increase of F/G, diarrhea index, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and CD of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon of piglets by PEDV infection (P<0.05), significantly mitigate the decrease of ADG, jejunal VH, VA and VH/CD of duodenum and jejunum (P<0.05), and significantly increase the activities of GSH-Px in duodenum and jejunum, colonic T-SOD and T-AOC of duodenum and colon of PEDV-infected piglets (P<0.05). Overall, administration of 190 mg/kg BW TA can improve the ADG and decrease the diarrhea rate of neonatal piglets, and mitigate the intestinal injury of piglets caused by PEDV infection by increasing antioxidant capacity and improving intestinal morphology.

猪流行性腹泻病毒(porcine epidemic diarrhea virus,PEDV)属于冠状病毒科,可引起仔猪急性腹泻,因其高传染性和高死亡率给生猪养殖业造成巨大经济损失[1-2]。禁抗限抗背景下,高锌饲粮预防断奶仔猪腹泻的弊端已日益显露,如土壤锌富集和畜产品高锌残留等问题[3]。目前,已有研究证实益生菌、益生素和有机酸等饲料添加剂可以降低断奶仔猪腹泻率,但对PEDV引起的腹泻的改善效果不稳定[4]
植物提取物或其衍生物可能是抗生素的潜在替代品。其中,单宁酸(tannins,TA)作为多酚类化合物,因其收敛性强,具有抗腹泻、抗菌、抗氧化、调节肠道微生物稳态等作用而受到广泛关注[5]。TA已被证明可以通过与肠道黏膜黏蛋白结合形成保护膜,从而起到防治腹泻、提高生长性能的作用[6-7]。此外,TA还可以增加肠道绒毛高度,降低隐窝深度,从而改善肠道形态结构完整性,修复肠道损伤[6,8-9],但TA在PEDV感染仔猪上的研究较少。因此,本试验拟通过建立仔猪PEDV感染模型,研究TA对PEDV感染仔猪生长性能、肠道屏障功能和抗氧化能力的影响,以探讨其作用机制。

1.3 饲养管理

本试验在湖北省武汉市农业科学院畜牧兽医研究所进行,采用2栋饲养条件完全一致的全封闭式猪舍[舍内温度为(32±2) ℃,相对湿度为60%~70%],试验仔猪均单栏饲养于0.8 m×1.0 m的漏缝式地板圈内,每天清扫猪舍1次,并用聚维酮碘消毒液喷洒消毒栏舍,严格防止2栋猪舍之间发生交叉感染。仔猪每天饲喂5次(饲喂时间为07:30、11:00、15:00、18:30、21:00),代乳料用温水(45~55 ℃)冲泡,早、中、晚各喂1次温水。

1.4 样品采集与处理

于试验第12天06:00,所有仔猪均口服10% D-木糖(1 mL/kg BW),1 h后对所有仔猪进行前腔静脉采血并保存于肝素钠抗凝管中。全群仔猪采血后肌肉注射50 mg/kg BW戊巴比妥钠,麻醉后进行屠宰取样。取十二指肠、空肠、回肠和结肠各肠道中间段(长度为10~15 cm),纵向剖开肠段,用预冷的生理盐水冲洗肠道内容物,刮取肠黏膜快速置于液氮中冷冻,后转移至-80 ℃保存。

1.5 检测指标与方法

1.5.1 生长性能

每天记录仔猪采食量,于试验第1、9和12天07:30给隔夜禁食的仔猪进行空腹称重,按照如下公式计算平均日增重(ADG)、平均日采食量(ADFI)和料重比(F/G):
ADG=总增重/试验天数;
ADFI=总采食量/试验天数;
F/G=ADFI/ADG。

1.5.2 腹泻评分

试验期间视觉观察并记录仔猪每天的粪便形态。按照粪便形态进行评分,分为4个等级:0=干燥成形,1=糊状,2=半液体状,3=液体状,计算每日平均值,得分≥2视为腹泻[10]。按如下公式计算腹泻指数:
腹泻指数(%)=(每头仔猪粪便评分之和/观察总天数)×100。

1.5.3 血清生化指标

使用全自动生化分析仪(日立HITEC-7100,上海曼普生物科技有限公司)测定血清生化指标,试剂盒购于富士胶片和光纯耀化学有限公司。

1.5.4 肠道屏障功能指标

参照Vilaseca等[11]描述的方法进行肠道损伤评分,分为4个评分等级:无肉眼可见出血点记0分;偶有损伤或有零星出血点记1分;有肉眼可见明显损伤即肠道出现溃疡或肠壁变薄变透记2分;肠道出现溃疡、糜烂,肠壁严重变薄变透并充血记3分。使用光学显微镜(Olympus,日本)对肠道组织切片进行观察,选取10根不同走向且完整的绒毛,测量绒毛高度(villous height,VH)、隐窝深度(crypt depth,CD)以及绒毛表面积(villous area,VA),计算绒毛高度/隐窝深度(VH/CD)。
采用南京建成生物工程研究所生产的试剂盒测定血清D-木糖含量和二胺氧化酶(DAO)活性。

1.5.5 血清和肠道抗氧化指标

采用南京建成生物工程研究所生产的试剂盒使用多功能酶标仪(Spectra Max M5,Molecular Devices)测定血清和肠道组织总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)与谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活性以及丙二醛(MDA)和过氧化氢(H2O2)含量。

1.6 数据统计分析

试验数据先采用Excel 2010软件进行预处理,再使用SPSS 23.0软件对仔猪感染前生长性能数据进行单因素方差分析,对感染后的试验数据进行双因素方差分析(two-way ANOVA),组间多重比较用Duncan氏法进行。试验结果以平均值±标准差体现,P<0.05表示显著差异,0.05≤P<0.10表示有趋势。

3 讨论

本试验中仔猪感染PEDV后出现急性腹泻和呕吐,解剖后小肠和结肠肠壁变薄变透明,与PEDV感染症状[12]相符,说明PEDV模型建立成功。研究表明,饲粮中添加250~1 500 mg/kg TA能显著提高仔猪的日增重,降低料重比,但添加高剂量(2 000~4 500 mg/kg)TA可能降低仔猪的采食量和日增重[7]。与前人研究结果一致,本研究发现,口腔灌服190 mg/kg BW (410 mg/kg饲粮)TA能显著改善试验仔猪的生长性能,说明TA可以有效降低PEDV感染导致的仔猪腹泻率上升和生长受阻。
动物机体血清生化指标受饲粮营养水平的影响,可以间接反映机体自身营养水平和健康状况[13]。ALT和谷草转氨酶(AST)主要存在肝细胞胞浆和线粒体中,其在血清中活性高低直接与肝细胞或线粒体的损伤程度相关[14-15]。本研究发现,感染PEDV显著提高了仔猪血清ALT活性,灌服TA后感染PEDV仔猪血清ALT活性显著下降,说明灌服TA可缓解PEDV造成的肝功能异常。血清TG和TC含量高低反映了动物对脂类的吸收和代谢能力,HDL和LDL是运输胆固醇的载体,对维持机体脂类代谢稳定起重要作用[16-17]。研究结果表明,PEDV感染导致仔猪血清TC、P、HDL和LDL含量显著下降,血清GLU含量显著升高,说明PEDV感染可能阻碍了营养物质转运,并且使仔猪糖代谢能力下降,导致生长性能的下降。
血清DAO活性和D-木糖含量能够直观反映肠道机械屏障的完整性和受损伤程度[18-19]。当肠黏膜上皮细胞受到损伤时,DAO会释放出来进入血液,导致血液中DAO活性增高,同时使D-木糖吸收能力下降,血液中D-木糖含量也会相应降低[20-21]。与上述结果一致,本研究发现仔猪感染PEDV后,血清中DAO活性显著升高,D-木糖含量显著下降;同时,十二指肠、空肠、回肠和结肠的肠道损伤评分显著升高,说明PEDV感染导致仔猪肠道屏障功能损伤,降低了肠道对营养物质的消化率,而灌服TA能在一定程度上缓解PEDV感染引起的仔猪肠道吸收功能下降。
仔猪的消化吸收功能与肠道黏膜形态完整性密切相关。小肠黏膜上皮绒毛变短、隐窝加深代表肠道黏膜上皮绒毛萎缩,吸收能力下降;VH/CD增大,代表黏膜比面积增大,消化吸收能力增强[22]。有研究表明,TA可显著提高断奶仔猪的肠道VH,降低CD,提高VH/CD[3]。本试验中,感染PEDV后,仔猪十二指肠、空肠和回肠VH以及十二指肠和回肠VA显著下降,空肠、回肠和结肠CD显著增加,十二指肠VH/CD显著下降,而灌服TA后,感染PEDV仔猪空肠VH显著上升,说明TA能有效缓解感染PEDV引起的肠黏膜萎缩,改善了肠道结构,提高了营养物质消化利用率,促进了PEDV感染后仔猪的生长。
T-SOD、GSH-Px和CAT属于机体主要的抗氧化酶系,其活性的高低直接反映了机体的抗氧化性能,并间接反映了机体清除自由基的能力[23-24]。MDA为脂质过氧化产物,其含量反映机体脂质过氧化物的生成速率和强度,MDA含量低代表动物抗氧化能力强[25]。T-AOC是代表机体酶性和非酶性抗氧化物的总体水平,直接反映机体抗氧化酶的活性及抗氧化系统的功能状态[26]。本试验结果发现,感染PEDV后,仔猪血清和肠道主要抗氧化酶活性下降,MDA含量显著上升,说明PEDV感染可引发机体氧化应激反应,造成氧化损伤;灌服TA可增强感染PEDV仔猪的机体抗氧化能力,从而改善PEDV造成的仔猪生长性能下降。

4 结论

灌服190 mg/kg BW TA能缓解PEDV感染造成的仔猪腹泻,改善肠道损伤,提高机体抗氧化能力,从而改善生长性能。
