Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) on liver injury of mice induced by deoxynivalenol (DON). Thirty-two 7-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into four groups after 1 week of adaptation: control group (CON group), alginate oligosaccharides group (AOS group), deoxynivalenol group (DON group) and alginate oligosaccharides+deoxynivalenol group (AOS+DON group), each group contained 8 mice. The experiment lasted for 28 days, which was divided into DON pre-treatment and post-treatment. For the first 21 days, mice in AOS group and AOS+DON group were daily administrated with 200 μL (200 mg/kg BW) AOS, and mice in CON group and DON group were daily administrated with equal volume sterile saline. After 7 days, mice in DON group and AOS+DON group were daily administrated with 100 μL (4.8 mg/kg BW) DON, and mice in CON group and DON group were daily administrated with equal volume sterile normal saline. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the CON group, the body weight at 10 and 11 weeks of age of the AOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the CON group, the body weight at 12 weeks of age of the DON group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the liver index was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with the DON group, the body weight at 12 weeks of age of the AOS+DON group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the liver index was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the CON group, the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum and liver of the DON group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) content was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with the DON group, the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and liver of the AOS+DON group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the serum IL-8 content was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the CON group, the liver malondialdehyde (MDA) content of the DON group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the liver total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity was significantly decreased (P<0.05); compared with the DON group, the liver MDA content of the AOS+DON group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the liver T-SOD activity was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) The liver histopathology analysis results showed that the hepatic cell of the DON group showed obvious punctate necrosis, deformation and swollen, inflammatory infiltration and lipid deposition, with characteristic radiative fibers, adding AOS can improve the above pathological damage symptoms. The F4/80 immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with the DON group, the liver macrophage content of the DON group was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with the DON group, the macrophage content of the AOS+DON group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 5) Compared with the CON group, the activities of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and contents of triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in serum of the DON group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with the DON group, the activities of AST, ALT, LDH and contents of TG and TC in serum of the AOS+DON group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the AOS can improve the liver index and pathological tissue structure, reduce the contents of cytokines and inflammatory cytokines in serum and liver, and alleviate liver injury of mice induced by DON.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition, 2023, 35(10):6748-6758]

脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(deoxynivalenol,DON)因可引起猪产生呕吐现象,又称为呕吐毒素,主要由禾谷镰刀菌、梨孢镰刀菌等多种镰孢菌属真菌产生,属于单端孢霉菌素类毒素,是畜禽饲料生产中最常见的真菌毒素之一,也是当前全球范围内饲料中污染最为严重的霉菌毒素之一[1]。畜禽采食DON污染的饲粮或饲料原料后,会出现采食量减少、生长性能降低、呕吐、腹泻等症状,甚至死亡,给我国畜禽养殖造成巨大的经济损失[2-4]。本课题组前期研究发现,从吉林、湖南、安徽等区域采集了1 304份饲料原料进行检测,DON检出率为93.56%,超标率为51.76%,其中玉米、玉米副产品和小麦及麸皮的检出率分别高达96.49%、96.59%和100%[5]。侯楠楠等[6]收集我国山东、江苏、东北等地区的饲粮和饲料原料,对DON污染情况进行监测,结果显示DON的污染率达97.22%,超标率为27.42%。最新调研结果表明,2021年调查的我国1 025份饲粮和饲料原料样品中DON检出率均达到88%以上[7]。由此可见,我国饲粮和饲料原料的DON检出率和超标率维持在较高水平。摄入DON污染的饲粮和饲料原料,容易引起畜禽不同程度的中毒情况,其中DON的毒性作用主要表现为细胞毒性、多器官组织病理毒性、神经毒性、免疫毒性、消化道毒性、肝脏毒性和致畸致癌等[8-11]。肝脏作为DON主要作用的靶器官之一,可以导致肝细胞脂肪变性及肝细胞癌,DON可增加肝脏谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)活性,破坏机体氧化/抗氧化酶系统,导致氧化应激,诱导肝脏组织发生病理损伤[12]。DON对肝脏的影响鲜有系统研究[12],肝脏作为机体主要的合成代谢和分解代谢器官,参与能量代谢、异种生物解毒、营养物质代谢和吸收、蛋白质合成和胆汁的产生[13]。研究表明,肝脏是DON主要靶器官之一,DON可改变肝脏组织形态,诱导炎症反应,增加细胞凋亡和氧化应激[14-16]。已有研究证实,添加具有抗炎、抗氧化的功能活性物质,可以改善机体的氧化还原状态,进而缓解炎症和氧化损伤。
褐藻寡糖(alginate oligosaccharides,AOS)也称褐藻胶低聚糖,包括低聚甘露糖醛酸和低聚古罗糖醛酸,是由褐藻胶经过降解得到聚合度为2~25的功能性寡糖[17]。AOS具有非免疫、无毒性、生物可降解的低聚合度特性[17-19],其分子质量小、溶解度高,容易被机体吸收和利用,已有大量研究证实了AOS具有多种活性功能,例如抗氧化、抗炎、抗细胞凋亡、抗菌、抗肿瘤和调节肠道菌群等[20-23]。虽然AOS的各种生物学功能得到广泛关注,但对于AOS是否具有改善DON诱导小鼠肝脏损伤的研究鲜有报道。因此,本试验旨在研究AOS对DON诱导小鼠肝脏损伤的缓解效果,旨在为AOS在畜禽生产中的应用提供理论科学依据。

3 讨论

3.1 AOS对DON诱导小鼠体重及肝脏指数的影响

研究表明,与对照组相比,小鼠采食DON饲粮后,食糜中DON含量升高,造成小鼠胃肠道损伤,进而降低其平均日增重和平均日采食量[24]。与前人研究结果一致,本研究发现DON可导致小鼠体重降低,阻碍其生长;与CON组相比,灌胃3周的AOS可显著增加小鼠体重和体增重;与DON组相比,AOS可缓解DON诱导的小鼠体重降低。张丽等[25]研究表明,饲粮中添加20、40或80 mg/kg AOS显著提升断奶仔猪的平均日增重和平均日采食量,改善仔猪生长性能。刘萍等[26]研究发现,饲粮添加褐藻糖胶可显著降低1~14天仔猪料重比,但对试验全期仔猪平均日增重和平均日采食量无显著影响。
研究发现,给小鼠灌胃放射性同位素示踪标记的DON,血浆和组织的吸收峰值在30 min;小鼠口服DON(25 mg/kg BW),5 min后检测不同组织中DON浓度为:肝脏(19.5±1.9) μg/kg,血浆12.1 μg/mL,肾脏(7.6±0.5) μg/kg,脾脏(7.3±0.8) μg/kg,心脏(6.8±0.9) μg/kg和大脑(0.8±0.1) μg/kg[27]。由此可见,肝脏是机体代谢DON的重要解毒器官之一。本试验研究结果发现,与CON组相比,DON灌胃小鼠可显著增加肝脏指数,表明DON对肝细胞系和实体肝脏组织具有明显的毒性作用[13]。然而,AOS可显著减少DON诱导的小鼠肝脏指数增加。这可能是因为AOS能下调促炎细胞因子的表达,上调抗炎细胞因子的表达和分泌,发挥抗炎和抗氧化损伤功能,进而缓解组织器官的炎症损伤[27]。因此,AOS通过调控小鼠的生长性能和肝脏功能缓解DON诱导的肝脏损伤。

3.2 AOS对DON诱导小鼠血清和肝脏炎症细胞因子和氧化/抗氧化指标的影响

炎症细胞因子含量是反映机体炎症损伤和免疫失调的重要生物标志物[28]。研究发现,DON暴露上调机体炎症反应,并选择性促进机体促炎细胞因子mRNA表达上调,例如DON诱导的仔猪小肠上皮细胞系(IPEC-J2)的细胞损伤是通过促进氧自由基的产生,显著上调与凋亡、炎症相关基因mRNA和蛋白质的表达[29],而通过外源补充杜仲黄酮能显著缓解DON诱导的促炎细胞因子含量的增加[30]。同时,氧化应激是DON诱导的重要毒性机制之一,研究发现,DON可导致小鼠肝脏发生明显的氧化应激,增加肝脏组织中MDA含量和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)活性,降低过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性[31]。且随着DON浓度的增强,对动物的毒性作用加强,导致氧化应激现象加剧,并伴随肝脏组织损伤、免疫失调等现象[32]。大量研究证明,海藻多糖的水解产物寡糖对小鼠肝脏损伤具有一定保护作用。例如,壳寡糖具有良好的抗氧化活性,能够增强体内抗氧化酶活性,在肝脏损伤中起到保护作用,多种植物或海藻来源的多糖或寡糖能不同程度地降低机体促炎细胞因子的合成和分泌[33]。与前人研究结果一致,本试验中DON组的小鼠肝脏MDA含量较CON组显著增加,而AOS可以抑制MDA含量的升高,并提高肝脏T-SOD活性。因此,AOS能够通过降低DON导致的炎症因子分泌,缓解机体炎症损伤,同时中和DON的氧化应激毒性,促进小鼠体内氧化还原代谢平衡。

3.3 AOS对DON诱导小鼠肝脏组织病理学和肝脏功能指标的影响

在本研究中,与健康小鼠相比,DON组肝脏组织出现明显病理变化,出现细胞点状坏死、细胞间界限模糊,且凋亡增多,存在明显脂质沉积,提示了DON导致小鼠肝脏组织出现明显病理损伤,然而,添加AOS可显著缓解上述肝脏病理损伤症状。肝脏和胃肠道是霉菌毒素代谢的主要部位[34],依据最新综述文章,霉菌毒素显著破坏机体的肠道屏障、免疫机能、抗氧化功能、微生态平衡和营养物质代谢等,其中DON造成肠道屏障功能障碍、免疫失调以及细胞死亡等毒性作用较为强烈[35],而且大量研究证实了不同浓度DON可导致机体出现急性或慢性肝脏组织损伤[36],同时,DON能影响动物肝脏组织结构完整性和功能[37]。Peng等[38]研究发现,小鼠摄入DON(25 μg/kg BW)30和90 d会导致肝脏中央静脉周围轻度炎症浸润,IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α含量升高,ALT活性升高,提示肝脏功能损伤。此外,已有研究证实了DON可引起肝细胞破裂、空泡化和巨噬细胞增殖[14]。与本试验结果一致,均提示了DON可破坏肝脏形态和功能,导致肝脏毒性和炎症。
研究发现,饲粮中添加AOS可激活脂肪酸代谢相关途径,减少肝脏组织脂肪积累,增加抗氧化活性,从而使机体免受氧化损伤[39]。Hao等[33]研究发现,添加AOS 10 mg/kg可改善与免疫和抗肿瘤作用相关的血液代谢产物,从而改善小鼠的肝脏组织损伤,上述结果与本试验结果一致。这提示AOS能够通过减少某些脂质过氧化物的产生,激活小鼠机体内抗氧化防御系统,缓解DON诱导的肝脏损伤。AST、ALT和LDH活性是反映肝脏功能损伤的重要指标,肝细胞发生严重坏死时,上述酶活性显著升高。同时,TC和TG作为血脂的重要组分,如果肝脏发生病变,其含量会有所增加,且其含量升高可促进脂肪肝的发生与发展,一定程度上反映肝脏损伤程度。有研究表明,海藻酸寡糖显著缓解高脂饲粮诱导小鼠血清中肝脏功能损伤指标(AST、ALT和LDH)和血脂代谢指标(TG和TC)异常[40]。与上述结果类似,本试验表明AOS可缓解DON诱导的小鼠脏肝功能紊乱和脂类代谢异常,减少机体脂质过氧化物的产生和肝脏脂质沉积,进而缓解DON诱导的小鼠肝脏损伤。

4 结论

AOS能够改善肝脏病理学损伤、机体炎症和氧化应激,维护肝脏功能,进而缓解DON诱导的小鼠肝脏损伤。
