Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of isomaltooligosaccharide synbiotics (composed of isomaltooligosaccharide, Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus johnsonii) on intestinal permeability, fecal microbiota and short chain fatty acid concentrations of Holstein calves. Selected 40 healthy Holstein calves and divide them into 4 groups according to the similar body weight and days of age, and each group had 10 calves. The calves in the 4 groups were supplemented with 0 (Con group), 2.5 (LC group), 5.0 (MC group) and 10.0 g/(head·d) (HC group) isomaltooligosaccharide synbiotics, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 5 days, and the experimental period lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: 1) on day 21 of the experiment, the serum endotoxin (ET) content of the LC group was significantly lower than that of Con group (P<0.05); on day 42 of the experiment, the serum D-lactic acid (D-LA) content of the LG and HG groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the serum D-LA content and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity of the MG group were significantly decreased compared with the Con group (P<0.05). On day 21 of the experiment, the concentration of propionic acid in feces of the MG and HG groups was significantly higher than that of the Con group (P<0.05); on day 42 of the experiment, the concentration of propionic acid in feces of the MG group was significantly increased, and the concentrations of propionic acid and isovaleric acid in feces of the LG group were significantly increased compared with the Con group (P<0.05). At the phylum level, the dominant bacteria phyla in all groups were Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Actinobacteriota. On day 24 of the experiment, the fecal Actinobacteriota relative abundance of HG group was significantly higher than that of the Con group(P<0.05); On day 42 of the experiment, the fecal Firmicutes relative abundance of MG group was significantly higher than that of Con group (P<0.05). At the genus level, the dominant bacteria genera in all groups were Blautia and Lactobacillus. And the fecal relative abundance of Lactobacillus of the three trial groups was higher than that of the Con group. The correlation analysis fecal microbiota and intestinal permeability indexes and fecal short chain fatty acids showed that the Lachnoclostridium relative abundance was extremely significant positively correlated with the D-LA content (P<0.01) and the DAO activity (P<0.001). The norank_f_Erysipelotrichaceae relative abundance was significant positively correlated with the ET content (P<0.05). The Holdemanella relative abundance was significant negatively correlated with the DAO activity (P<0.05). The Lactobacillus relative abundance was significant positively correlated with the concentrations of butyric acid, isobutyric acid and isovaleric acid (P<0.05). The Parabacteroides relative abundance was significant negatively correlated with the concentrations of propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid and isovaleric acid (P<0.05). The Bacteroides relative abundance was extremely significant positively correlated with the butyric acid concentration (P<0.001). In summary, isomaltooligosaccharide synbiotics can improve the intestinal permeability of Holstein calves, increase the concentrations of short chain fatty acids in the intestine, change the structure of the intestinal microbiota, and its optimal supplementary dosage is 5 g/(head·d).

犊牛作为养牛业的后备力量,其早期发育程度和存活率决定了经济效益的高低。犊牛在哺乳期经历了巨大的生理变化,即从母体胎盘提供营养到体外依靠自身消化道吸收营养,再加上此时消化道尚未发育成熟,机体免疫力和抗病力较低,所以极易发生胃肠道疾病[1-2]。抗生素在各种疾病的预防和治疗中占有重要地位,但其大量使用及滥用所带来的安全问题也日益突出,因此,寻找绿色、安全的抗生素替代品已经引起畜牧业领域的广泛关注[2]
低聚异麦芽糖是一种能够调节肠道菌群、增加免疫力和促进消化道发育的功能性寡糖。益生菌可以通过占位效应、分泌代谢物、影响免疫细胞等抑制致病菌生长。由益生菌和益生元组成的合生元可以通过协同作用促进宿主健康[3-5]。薛晨曦[6]研究表明,在饲粮中添加黄芪多糖合生元能够降低犊牛腹泻,促进肠道发育,改善犊牛生长性能。Sharma等[7]报道,饲粮中补充合生元制剂能够适当增加犊牛肠道中短链脂肪酸含量和肠道中有益菌群数量,抑制病原菌生长。Singh等[8]研究发现,补充合生元可以改善犊牛腹泻情况,显著降低肠道中致病菌的数量。肠道微生物能够通过影响胃肠道的内外条件,在维持动物健康和抑制疾病发展方面起着关键作用。短链脂肪酸作为肠道微生物产生的非直接营养物质,在保护肠黏膜屏障、促进营养物质吸收、抑制有害菌生长等方面发挥着重要作用。本课题组前期研究发现,低聚异麦芽糖与罗伊氏乳杆菌、约氏乳杆菌组成的低聚异麦芽糖合生元的添加量为5 g/(头·d)时,在降低犊牛腹泻、提高犊牛生长性能及免疫性能方面有较好的作用[9],但其对犊牛肠道菌群、短链脂肪酸是否发挥调控作用,如何发挥调控作用,能否通过改善肠道菌群结构、调节短链脂肪酸浓度改善肠道健康却不得而知。因此,本试验拟研究低聚麦芽糖合生元对犊牛肠道通透性、粪便菌群和短链脂肪酸浓度的影响,以期为低聚异麦芽糖合生元作为抗生素替代品在犊牛生产中的应用提供参考依据。

1 材料与方法

1.1 试验材料

低聚异麦芽糖合生元由60%的低聚异麦芽糖、21%的罗伊氏乳杆菌、9%的约氏乳杆菌和10%的保护剂组成。低聚异麦芽糖纯度≥90%;罗伊氏乳杆菌和约氏乳杆菌有效活菌数为1.58×109 CFU/g,由石河子大学动物科技学院自行分离得到。

3 讨论

3.1 低聚异麦芽糖合生元对犊牛肠道通透性的影响

肠黏膜屏障可以阻止肠腔内未消化的大分子物质、代谢废物或毒素等进入血液循环危害机体健康。肠道通透性是反映肠道健康的重要指标。正常情况下,由肠腔进入血液中的D-LA、ET含量很低,血液中DAO活性也较低。Singh等[10-11]研究发现,小鼠补饲低聚异麦芽糖可以改善肠道通透性,维持肠道菌群平衡。Ahrne等[12]研究发现,罗伊氏乳杆菌可以降低大鼠结肠炎造成的肠道通透性。
Zhang等[13]研究表明,约氏乳杆菌能够降低非酒精性脂肪肝大鼠肠道通透性,修复破损的肠道细胞。在犊牛生长过程中,环境压力、气候变化、饲养管理不当均会导致犊牛肠道受到损伤,在肠道受损时血清中的D-LA和ET含量就会升高,DAO活性也会增加[14]。ET是肠道中革兰氏阴性细菌外膜的主要糖脂成分,当肠道屏障受损时,ET通过受损的肠上皮进入血液,导致机体发生急性炎症反应。本试验结果表明,补饲5 g/(头·d)低聚异麦芽糖合生元显著降低了试验第21天时犊牛血清中ET含量,表明其对提高犊牛肠道屏障功能,减少肠道中病原菌的数量发挥着积极作用;MG组和HG组血清中ET含量也均有不同程度降低,但高于LG组,推测低聚异麦芽糖合生元的过量补充会破坏动物肠道菌群平衡,导致一些有害的繁殖和生长,进而导致血液中ET含量增加。本研究发现,试验第42天时,各组犊牛血清中D-LA含量均低于试验第21天时,推测这与随着犊牛日龄的增加肠道屏障功能不断完善有关;此外,LG组、MG组和HG组血清中D-LA含量均显著低于Con组,表明补饲低聚异麦芽糖合生元可使犊牛肠道屏障功能更加完善。本研究还发现,试验第42天时HG组犊牛血清中D-LA含量高于LG组和MG组,这可能与低聚异麦芽糖合生元经微生物代谢产生了较多有害气体,并且内源微生物对低聚异麦芽糖发酵过快对肠黏膜产生负面影响有关[15]

3.2 低聚异麦芽糖合生元对犊牛粪便短链脂肪酸浓度的影响

短链脂肪酸是由特定肠道菌群分解膳食纤维和非淀粉多糖产生的一类饱和脂肪酸[16],可刺激肠道细胞增殖发育和促进营养物质的吸收,还可为机体提供部分能量,在保持肠道稳态和健康方面也发挥着重要作用[16-19]。He等[20]对犊牛粪便中菌群组成、功能和短链脂肪酸浓度进行了分析,发现致病性大肠杆菌可通过引起犊牛肠道菌群失衡、降低短链脂肪酸浓度诱导犊牛腹泻。司文瑾[21]对补充乙酸钠犊牛试验组粪便中菌群结构及短链脂肪酸浓度进行了测定,推测补充乙酸钠增加了产乙酸、丙酸有益菌的相对丰度,调节了肠道免疫反应,进而缓解了犊牛腹泻。Sharma等[22]研究发现,低聚异麦芽糖合生元可以增加小鼠盲肠中短链脂肪酸浓度,预防肠道炎症的发生。本试验结果表明,补饲一定剂量的低聚异麦芽糖合生元后犊牛粪便中丙酸、戊酸浓度显著提高。丙酸能通过影响肝脏和胆固醇代谢,促进上皮细胞生长[19],戊酸能够促进肠道黏膜细胞生长和受损细胞的修复,改善肠道屏障功能[23-24]。本课题组前期研究发现,低聚异麦芽糖合生元可以改善犊牛腹泻,提高免疫性能,推测该合生元可通过增加肠道短链脂肪酸浓度改善肠道屏障功能进而缓解腹泻。同时,本研究发现试验第42天时LG组异戊酸浓度过高,可能是由于个体消化道差异造成浓度偏高[25]

3.3 低聚异麦芽糖合生元对犊牛粪便菌群的影响

肠道是重要的消化代谢器官,肠腔内生存有许多复杂的微生物群落。稳定的肠道菌群在保持宿主健康方面发挥着重要作用[26]。研究表明,与单独添加益生菌或者寡糖相比,添加合生元在调节动物肠道菌群、促进肠道发育方面具有更好的益生效果[26-28]。陈玉龙[29]在繁殖母猪上的研究表明,饲粮中添加低聚异麦芽糖合生元可以显著改善母猪的体况,提高奶的营养水平,提高母猪及子代的免疫水平,优化肠道菌群。谷雪玲[30]在围产期母猪上进一步证明,饲粮中添加低聚异麦芽糖合生元可以显著改善仔猪平均初生重和平均窝增重,增加母猪粪便中短链脂肪酸的浓度,提高肠道菌群的丰富度。Khan等[31]研究发现,合生元可以降低小鼠肠道菌群的多样性,增加有益菌群的数量。本研究发现,随着饲喂时间的延长,低聚异麦芽糖合生元降低了LG组Ace指数和Chao1指数,MG组和HG组粪便菌群丰富度也有不同程度的降低,这可能是由于添加低聚异麦芽糖合生元后增加了肠道有益菌群的数量和种类,减少了致病菌的定植和生长,这与Vu等[32]的研究结果一致。
本试验中,厚壁菌门、拟杆菌门和放线菌门是犊牛粪便中的主要优势菌门。厚壁菌门是反刍动物肠道中最主要的优势菌门之一,其所属的大部分细菌能够分泌胞外多糖降解酶,主要与膳食纤维的降解有关[33-35]。李旭廷等[35]研究发现,便秘母猪肠道中厚壁菌门相对丰度降低,表明厚壁菌门与动物肠道蠕动和消化有关。试验第42天时,厚壁菌门在MG组显著富集,通过LEfSe分析发现,补饲低聚异麦芽糖合生元的试验组富集的物种多为厚壁菌门,且犊牛肠道中厚壁菌门的相对丰度随着饲喂时间的延长不断提高,推测犊牛对碳水化合物尤其是对饲粮中的纤维消化能力得到提高。放线菌门能够降解各种碳水化合物,为动物本身生命活动提供所需的能量。管晓轩[36]研究发现,在饲粮中添加复合微生态制剂能显著增加粪便中放线菌门的相对丰度,明显改善犊牛的消化能力。试验第21天时,HG组放线菌门的相对丰度显著增加,表明犊牛补饲低聚异麦芽糖合生元能够增强其对各种碳水化合物的消化能力。
犊牛粪便中主要优势菌属为经黏液真杆菌属和乳杆菌属,低聚异麦芽糖合生元的补饲使乳杆菌属在犊牛肠道中富集,这也与属水平上观察到的乳杆菌属和拟杆菌属的结果一致。拟杆菌能够产生黏蛋白降解物质,诱发肠道炎症,而乳杆菌则能通过产生有机酸等代谢物抑制其生长[37]。以上结果表明,低聚异麦芽糖合生元可通过提高肠道有益菌群丰度来改善动物机体健康状况。
通过PICRUSt功能预测,基于KEGG数据库对组间粪便菌群差异通路进行分析,结果表明,低聚异麦芽糖合生元可以改变犊牛肠道菌群代谢通路,主要包括核苷酸代谢、氨基酸代谢、糖代谢以及脂肪代谢。Hu等[38]研究发现,猪体内罗伊氏乳杆菌和约氏乳杆菌减少会引起短链脂肪酸浓度的降低,这与核苷酸代谢相关。低聚异麦芽糖与乳酸菌组合会促使有益菌氨基酸代谢基因上调[39]。罗伊氏乳杆菌可以通过改变胆汁酸组成,提高脂肪酸合成酶活性,促进有益菌的生长,减少肝脏中甘油三酯在肝脏中的累积,使血清胆固醇含量降低[40-41]。这些结果表明,补饲低聚异麦芽糖合生元能够增强犊牛肠道菌群的功能,包括氨基酸代谢、糖代谢以及脂肪代谢等,但目前尚不清楚不同菌群与通路之间具体作用机制,还需进一步研究。

3.4 犊牛肠道通透性、粪便短链脂肪酸与粪便菌群相关性分析

肠道黏膜屏障的完整性与通透性是动物健康的基础,肠道菌群通过分解膳食纤维和非淀粉多糖产生短链脂肪酸,一方面为机体提供能量,另一方面调节肠道上皮细胞通透性,维持肠道健康[17-18]。Efremova等[42]研究发现,在肝硬化患者体内霍尔德曼氏菌属与肠道功能障碍呈负相关,这与本研究的发现一致,即霍尔德曼氏菌属相对丰度与肠道通透性呈负相关。Yang等[43]研究发现,拉克氏梭状芽孢杆菌属可诱导促炎因子发生,与肥胖和肠道疾病有关。本研究中发现,犊牛粪便中拉克氏梭状芽孢杆菌属相对丰度与血清中D-LA含量和DAO活性呈极显著正相关,可增加肠道通透性,但具体机制有待进一步探究。厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门是短链脂肪酸的主要产生者[44-45]。本研究发现,与短链脂肪酸浓度显著正相关的毛螺菌科未分类属和乳杆菌属都属于厚壁菌门,这些结果表明低聚异麦芽糖合生元通过调节肠道中不同菌群的相对丰度,调整肠道短链脂肪酸浓度,维持肠道屏障功能。

4 结论

综上所述,补饲低聚异麦芽糖合生元可以降低犊牛肠道通透性,提高肠道中短链脂肪酸浓度,改善肠道中有益菌的相对丰度,且补饲量为5 g/(头·d)时对肠道屏障功能的改善效果较优。
