Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with coated cysteamine (CCS) and coated betaine (CBet) on lipid metabolism and fat deposition in Sujiang pigs during the fattening period. Fifty-four Sujiang pigs from the same batch, each weighing (60.0±3.0) kg, were randomly assigned to 3 groups with 3 replicates per group and 6 pigs per replicate. Pigs in control group were fed a basal diet, pigs in CCS group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 200 mg/kg CCS, and pigs in CBet group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 1 250 mg/kg CBet. The pre-trial period lasted for 7 days and the formal experimental period lasted for 50 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, both the CCS and CBet groups had significantly reduced backfat thickness and leaf-fat weight (P<0.05), and had a significantly increased lean meat rate (P<0.05); serum total protein (TP) content was also significantly increased (P<0.05), while the contents of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the content of insulin (INS) was significantly or extremely significantly reduced (P<0.01 or P<0.05); additionally, the mRNA relative expression levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FASN) in backfat and liver tissues were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), while the mRNA relative expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the intramuscular fat (IMF) content of the CBet group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the mRNA relative expression level of fatty acid transporter 1 (FATP1) in backfat tissue was also significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), while the mRNA relative expression level of triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in backfat tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, adding either CCS or CBet to the diet can improve lipid metabolism capacity of Sujiang pigs, and reduce fat synthesis and deposition by altering hormone secretion and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes. Furthermore, adding CBet to the diet can increase the IMF content and improve the pork quality of Sujiang pigs.

胴体品质是衡量商品猪等级的重要指标,在商品猪饲养后期,脂肪合成和沉积会逐渐增加,胴体脂肪沉积过多直接影响胴体品质和胴体等级,从而影响商品猪等级[1-2]。为了提高商品猪的胴体品质,减少胴体脂肪沉积,科研人员一直在寻求高效、无害的抗脂剂。半胱胺和甜菜碱作为安全、高效的新型功能性饲料添加剂,具有促进动物生长、提高饲料报酬、调节脂质代谢、改善胴体品质的作用,在养殖行业备受关注[3-4]。半胱胺为半胱氨酸的脱羧产物,是辅酶A的重要组成部分,含有活性的氨基和巯基,可以调节脂质代谢相关酶的活性,从而影响脂肪的合成和分解[5]。甜菜碱又称为三甲基甘氨酸,具有3个活性甲基,作为渗透压调节剂和甲基供体(转甲基作用),参与氨基酸、肉碱、磷脂酰胆碱、肌酸等的合成,调节脂质的合成、分解和转运,在脂质代谢过程中发挥着重要的作用[6]。研究表明,饲粮中添加半胱胺可影响育肥猪脂肪组织中激素敏感脂肪酶、脂肪酶等的活性,并可调节肝脏组织中脂肪酸合成酶(FASN)、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α(PPARα)等脂质代谢相关基因的表达[7-8];饲粮中添加甜菜碱可影响育肥猪脂肪组织中乙酰辅酶A羧化酶、脂肪酸合成酶、苹果酸脱氢酶等的活性,并可调节脂肪组织中FASN、甘油三酯脂酶(ATGL)等脂质代谢相关基因的表达[9];在育肥猪饲粮中添加半胱胺或甜菜碱能减少胴体脂肪沉积、降低背膘厚和提高胴体瘦肉率[10-11]
胴体脂肪沉积是由脂肪合成和分解之间的平衡引起的[12],脂肪组织的主要成分为甘油三酯,是由脂肪酸和甘油构成的酯类化合物,脂肪沉积是甘油三酯合成的过程[13],脂质代谢受到FASN、PPARα、ATGL等调控因子的影响[14]。虽然目前研究表明,饲粮中添加半胱胺或甜菜碱能影响猪体内脂质代谢调控因子的表达,并具有调节体内脂质代谢和脂肪沉积的功能,但其调节机制尚不清楚。苏姜猪为国内培育的新品种猪,其胴体脂肪沉积能力处于地方猪与外来猪之间[15],是研究脂质代谢和脂肪沉积的理想动物。在饲料添加剂领域,半胱胺和甜菜碱通常包被成溶解性和稳定性更好的盐酸盐使用,包被后的半胱胺和甜菜碱不仅能保护营养成分不被氧化和破坏,还能改善其适口性[16]。因此,本试验以苏姜猪为试验对象,研究饲粮中添加包被半胱胺(CCS)和包被甜菜碱(CBet)对育肥猪体内脂质代谢及脂肪沉积的影响,探索CCS和CBet调节脂质代谢和脂肪沉积的机制,以期为在生猪生产上应用CCS和CBet改善胴体品质提供参考。

1.2 检测指标及检测方法

1.2.1 生长性能指标测定

正试期开始和结束时,试验猪在清晨空腹称活重,计算各组的平均日增重(ADG)。记录每天的饲喂量和余料量,统计正试期内的饲粮消耗,计算各组的平均日采食量(ADFI)和料重比(F/G)。生长性能指标的计算公式如下:
ADG=(终末体重-初始体重)/试验天数;
总采食量=饲喂饲粮的总量-余料的总量;
ADFI=总采食量/(试验天数×试验猪只数);
F/G=ADFI/ADG。

1.2.2 屠宰性能及胴体与肉质性状的测定

当试验结束时,从每个重复里随机选择2头试验猪,每组6头,进行屠宰试验。试验猪屠宰前禁食24 h,屠宰后的胴体沿背中线分开,左半部胴体用于胴体和肉质性状的测定。瘦肉率、眼肌面积、背膘厚等胴体性状的测定方法参照《瘦肉型猪胴体性状测定技术规范》(NY/T 825—2004)[19],肌内脂肪(IMF)含量、大理石纹评分、眼肌面积等肉质性状的测定方法参照《猪肉品质测定技术规程》(NY/T 821—2019)[20]

1.2.3 血清生化指标及激素含量的测定

试验猪屠宰前,前腔静脉采集全血,1 000×g离心分离血清,-20 ℃冰箱保存备用。采用AU-2700全自动生化分析仪进行血清总蛋白(TP)、白蛋白(ALB)、球蛋白(GLO)、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)含量的测定。采用酶联免疫吸附检测(ELISA)试剂盒(购于上海岚派生物科技有限公司)进行血清生长激素(TG)、生长抑素(SS)、甲状腺素(T4)、胃泌素(GAS)、胰岛素(INS)含量的测定。

1.2.4 脂质代谢相关基因表达的测定

试验猪屠宰后,无菌采取背膘和肝脏组织,-70 ℃冰箱保存备用。样品总RNA的提取按照天根DP431 RNAprep Pure动物组织总RNA提取试剂盒说明书操作,采用Nanodrop-2000核酸蛋白分析仪检测样品总RNA的质量浓度和纯度。根据NCBI数据库中的基因序列设计引物(表2)。在LightCycler-480荧光定量PCR仪上进行荧光定量PCR,测定基因的转录水平,每个样品设3个重复,以猪3-磷酸甘油醛脱氢酶(GAPDH)为内参基因,使用2-ΔΔCt方法计算目的基因的mRNA相对表达量。

3 讨论

半胱胺和甜菜碱作为功能性饲料添加剂,具有提高生猪生产效率及改善胴体品质的作用,但也有不同的试验报道,其促生长的效果还存在一些争议。Tao等[7]研究发现,在饲粮中添加200 mg/kg CCS可显著提高杜长大杂交育肥猪的ADG和降低F/G。Miller等[21]研究显示,在饲粮中添加70 mg/kg半胱胺对长大杂交育肥猪的生长性能无显著影响。Wray-Cahen等[22]在长大杂交育肥猪的饲粮中分别添加1 250和5 000 mg/kg甜菜碱,均可显著提高育肥猪的ADG和降低F/G。另有报道,在宁乡猪育肥期的饲粮中添加2 000 mg/kg甜菜碱对育肥猪的生长性能无显著影响[23]。本研究中,饲粮中添加200 mg/kg CCS或1 250 mg/kg CBet均未能显著影响苏姜猪的生长性能。因此,关于饲粮中添加CCS和CBet是否影响猪的生长性能可能与猪的品种及添加量有关,具体机理还有待于进一步研究。
现有研究已经证实饲粮中添加半胱胺或甜菜碱可调节猪体内脂质代谢、减少脂肪沉积、改善胴体品质[17,24]。胴体瘦肉率、背膘厚和IMF含量是评估脂肪沉积的重要指标。本研究中,饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均能显著降低苏姜猪的背膘厚,显著提高胴体瘦肉率,且饲粮中添加CBet还能显著提高IMF含量。板油重是评估腹腔脂肪沉积的重要指标,本研究结果显示,饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均能显著减少苏姜猪的板油重。以上试验结果表明,饲粮中添加CCS或CBet能通过降低背膘厚和板油重来减少体内脂肪沉积,从而改善猪的胴体品质,而且饲粮中添加CBet还能提高IMF含量,改善猪肉品质。
血液生化指标是反映动物体内新陈代谢和营养成分沉积的重要指标[25],血清中TG、TC和TP含量是反映血液中营养成分代谢的关键指标[26]。现有研究报道,饲粮中添加2 500 mg/kg的甜菜碱能够显著降低育肥猪血清TC和TG含量[27],饲粮添加100 mg/kg半胱胺也能够显著降低育肥猪血清TC和TG含量[18]。本研究结果显示,在饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均能显著降低苏姜猪血清TG和TC的含量,表明饲粮中添加CCS或CBet能有效提高猪体内脂质代谢能力。INS是调节机体血糖及脂质代谢的关键激素,当血液中INS含量不足时,机体的脂质代谢会受到影响,导致体内脂肪合成减少和脂质代谢增强[28]。本研究结果显示,在饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均能减少苏姜猪血清INS含量,表明CCS或CBet可通过调节血液INS分泌从而影响猪体内脂质代谢。TP是动物机体蛋白质的主要来源,血液中TP的含量与动物机体蛋白质的合成代谢呈正相关,血液中TP含量越高,表明其机体蛋白质的合成代谢越强[29]。本研究发现,饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均能显著提高苏姜猪血清TP含量,这说明饲粮中CCS或CBet的添加能够增强猪机体蛋白质的合成代谢能力。以上试验结果表明,饲粮中添加CCS或CBet能影响猪体内脂质代谢和蛋白质代谢,从而影响胴体脂肪沉积和蛋白质合成。
脂肪的主要成分为甘油三酯,脂肪沉积是甘油三酯合成及降解的平衡决定的[30]。ACC和FASN是调节脂肪沉积的关键转录因子,FASN是脂肪酸合成的限速酶[31],ACC是脂质合成的限速酶,ACC催化脂肪酸合成甘油三酯,促进脂肪沉积[32]。本研究结果显示,在饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均能显著下调苏姜猪背膘和肝脏组织中ACCFASN的mRNA表达,表明CCS和CBet均可以抑制脂质合成相关酶的表达,从而减少机体脂肪的合成。PPARα是脂肪降解关键酶,在调节脂肪降解方面发挥着重要作用。脂肪中的甘油三酯在PPARα调节下降解生成游离甘油、脂肪酸等[33]。本研究结果显示,在饲粮中添加CCS或CBet均可以促进猪皮下脂肪中PPARα的表达,从而促进脂肪组织中脂肪的分解。
本研究还发现,饲粮中添加CBet促进了背膘组织中FATP1的表达,减少了ATGL的表达。ATGL是脂肪酸水解作用的关键限速酶[34],当背膘脂肪降解增强时,游离脂肪酸含量上升,而ATGL表达的下调减少脂肪酸的水解,大量的脂肪酸可能通过脂肪酸转运蛋白(FATP)在不同组织中转运[35]。因此,饲粮中添加CBet可能通过下调背部脂肪中脂肪酸水解酶ATGL的表达,减少脂肪酸的水解,游离脂肪酸在脂肪酸转运蛋白FATP1的作用下在不同组织中转运,从而导致脂肪再分配,提高背最长肌中IMF含量。

4 结论

① 饲粮中添加CCS或CBet可降低苏姜猪的胴体背膘厚和板油重,提高胴体瘦肉率,从而改善胴体品质;此外,饲粮中添加CBet还可提高苏姜猪的IMF含量,改善猪肉品质。
② 饲粮中添加CCS或CBet可通过减少血液中INS分泌,下调背膘和肝脏组织中脂质合成调控因子ACCFASN的表达,上调脂质降解调控因子PPARα的表达,以减少体内脂肪合成及沉积,改善苏姜猪的胴体品质。
③ 饲粮中添加CBet可通过下调苏姜猪背膘组织中ATGL的表达,减少脂肪酸的水解,在FATP1作用下,游离脂肪酸转运至附近组织,起到脂肪再分配的作用。
