Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of mulberry leaf polysaccharide (MLP) supplementation in high starch diet on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, glucose and lipid metabolism, and intestinal microbiota of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). A total of 270 largemouth bass with an initial weight of (35.34±0.52) g were randomly divided into three groups as low starch group (CK group, 7.58% starch in diet), high starch group (HD group, 12.68% starch in diet), and high starch supplemented with MLP group (MLP group, 12.68% starch supplemented with 0.6% MLP in diet), with 3 replicates per group and 30 fish per replicate, and fed for 60 d. The results showed as follows: 1) compared to the HD group, the MLP group showed a significant increase in weight gain rate and condition factor (P<0.05), and a significant decrease in viscerosomatic index, hepatosomatic index, and feed coefficient (P<0.05). 2) Compared to the HD group, the MLP group exhibited a significant decrease in serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities, liver malondialdehyde content, and the mRNA relative expression levels of liver interleukin-8, nuclear factor-κB, and tumor necrosis factor-α (P<0.05); a significant increase in liver total superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, and the mRNA relative expression levels of interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β (P<0.05). 3) Compared to the HD group, the MLP group showed a significant decrease in serum triglyceride (TG) and glucose contents, liver TG and glycogen contents, and the mRNA relative expression levels of liver diacylglycerol acyltransferase, fatty acid synthase, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (P<0.05); a significant increase in the mRNA relative expression levels of liver phosphofructokinase, glucokinase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (P<0.05). 4) Compared to the HD group, the MLP group exhibited a significant increase in intestinal muscle layer thickness and propionic acid content (P<0.05), and an upward trend in the Shannon index, Simpson index, and the relative abundances of Bacteriodota, Firmicutes, and Lactobacillus in the intestinal microbiota (P>0.05). In summary, the high starch diet supplemented with MLP can enhance the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, intestinal microbiota diversity, and beneficial bacterial relative abundance of Micropterus salmoides. It also alleviates the liver inflammation and promotes the glucose and lipid metabolism by accelerating carbohydrate and fatty acid oxidation and inhibiting insulin resistance.

大口黑鲈(Micropterus salmoides)具有生长快、肉质细腻等特点,是我国主要的经济养殖鱼类之一。淀粉作为饲料主要的能量来源和制作膨化饲料不可或缺的原料,在水产饲料中扮演着重要角色[1]。然而,许多关于大口黑鲈的研究表明,长期投喂超过10%淀粉含量的饲料会降低大口黑鲈的消化率,引起糖原和脂质沉积,并诱导炎症反应、氧化应激和免疫低下,抑制其生长[2-4]。化学合成的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制剂虽能达到降血糖的效果,但毒性大、成本高、作用单一[5],亟需寻求天然、健康和高效的饲料添加剂来保护鱼体健康。
桑叶多糖(mulberry leaf polysaccharide,MLP)是脱脂桑叶经热水提取(超声辅助)或酶辅助提取后制得的天然植物多糖,主要组成成分为半乳糖、阿拉伯糖、鼠李糖和葡萄糖(glucose,GLU),具有无毒、无残留和高效等特点[6]。研究表明,MLP通过上调胰岛细胞中抗凋亡的B细胞淋巴瘤-2(Bcl-2)、胰腺-十二指肠同源框-1(PDX-1)、葡萄糖激酶(GK)和葡萄糖转运蛋白2(GLUT2)的表达以及促进胰岛素的分泌,调节糖尿病小鼠肝脏的GLU代谢[7]。陈晓兰等[8]发现,MLP能通过激活Toll样受体4(TLR4)/髓样分化因子88(MyD88)/p65信号通路,改变小鼠肠道微生物群落结构,修复肠道屏障功能,以及调节免疫细胞因子来拮抗免疫抑制。目前鲜有研究探寻化合物形式的MLP对水产动物中的影响,而是通常以桑叶提取物的形式添加,如鲫鱼(Carassius auratus gibelio)饲料中添加60 g/kg的桑叶提取物(换算成多糖添加量为18 g/kg)能显著提高其消化吸收能力,从而促进生长[9];添加12 g/kg的桑叶提取物能改善花鲈(Lateolabrax maculatus)肝脏功能和肠道菌群组成[10-11];添加10 g/kg的桑叶醇提取物(换算成多糖添加量为5.1 g/kg)能提高鳜鱼(Siniperca chuatsi)抗氧化能力和促进肠道发育,而不影响生长性能[12]。但这可能是桑叶提取物中各种活性成分相互作用的结果,MLP对鱼类真正的效用尚不明确。因此,本研究以大口黑鲈为试验对象,研究高淀粉饲料中添加MLP对大口黑鲈生长性能、抗氧化能力、糖和脂代谢以及肠道菌群的影响,旨在为MLP在水产动物配合饲料中的应用提供依据。

1.3 样本采集

饲养试验结束后,禁食24 h,统计每个重复试验鱼的数量、总重量和总摄食量,计算终末体重、增重率(weight gain rate,WGR)、特定生长率(specific growth rate,SGR)和饲料系数(feed coefficient,FCR);每个重复随机取9尾试验鱼测定体长和体重,计算肥满度(condition factor,CF),随后尾静脉采血,4 ℃静置2 h,1 324×g离心10 min,取上清液测定血清生化指标;分离内脏和肝脏并称重,计算脏体比(viscerosomatic index,VSI)和肝体比(hepatosomatic index,HSI);每个重复随机取6尾试验鱼,在无菌操作台冰上解剖后,取全肠和肝脏于-80 ℃冰箱保存,用于肠道菌群、短链脂肪酸含量以及肝脏生化和抗氧化指标、糖和脂代谢以及炎症相关基因表达测定;每个重复随机另取3尾试验鱼的中肠和肝脏分别固定于4%多聚甲醛,用于组织切片分析。

1.4 指标测定

1.4.1 饲料营养水平

饲料中粗蛋白质、粗脂肪、粗灰分和淀粉含量的测定分别参照GB/T 6432—2018、GB/T 6433—2006、GB/T 6438—2007和GB/T 42491—2023中方法进行。

1.4.2 生长性能

生长性能指标计算公式如下:
WGR(%)=100×(Wf-Wi)/Wi;
SGR(%/d)=100×(lnWf-lnWi)/T;
摄食量(feed intake,FI,g/尾)=Ft/[(Mi+Mf)/2];
FCR=Ft/(Wft-Wit);
CF(g/cm3)=100×Wf/Lf3;
VSI(%)=100×Wv/Wf;
HSI(%)=100×Wh/Wf
式中:Wi为初始体重;Wf为终末体重;T为养殖时间;Ft为总摄食量;Mi为初始尾数;Mf为终末尾数;Wft为终末总重;Wit为初始总重;Lf为终末体长;Wv为内脏团湿重;Wh为肝脏湿重。

3 讨论

饲料中适宜的淀粉含量可以提高鱼类的生长性能,但添加量过高会损伤肠道,降低鱼体对营养物质的吸收能力。研究报道,饲喂高淀粉饲料会显著降低杂交鳢(Channa maculata♀×Channa argus♂)[17]、虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)[18]、珍珠龙胆石斑鱼(Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀×Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂)[19]和黄鳝(Monopterus albus)[20]的饲料利用率。在花鲈[21]和大口黑鲈[22]上的研究发现,投喂高淀粉饲料能促进摄食以维持自身的生长。本试验中,高淀粉饲料不改变大口黑鲈的FI和SGR,但显著降低了WGR,提高了FCR,添加MLP后WGR和FCR恢复到CK组水平,说明MLP可以提高大口黑鲈对饲料的利用率。Hao等[23]报道,豹纹鳃棘鲈(Plectropomus leopardus)饲料中添加黄芪多糖可以促进肠道组织发育,改善肠道菌群多样性和结构,从而显著提高其生长性能。高淀粉饲料中添加枸杞多糖能显著提高大口黑鲈肠道和肝脏消化酶活性,使其生长性能恢复甚至超过对照组[24]。研究表明,丁酸盐能改善受损黏膜细胞的修复,对于保持肠道上皮细胞的完整性和促进肠道发育至关重要[25]。类似地,本试验HD组肠道短链脂肪酸中的丙酸含量在添加MLP后显著升高,丁酸含量也呈上升趋势,同时肌层厚度显著增加,进而改善了肠道屏障,促进了营养物质的吸收。本试验结果表明,在高淀粉饲料中添加MLP可以显著提高鱼体对饲料的利用率,缓解高淀粉对大口黑鲈生长性能的负面影响。
当摄入过量的碳水化合物时,鱼体会将多余的GLU储存为GLY或脂质。血糖水平由肝脏通过糖异生和糖酵解等途径调控[26]。本试验中,高淀粉提高了血清TG和GLU以及肝脏TG和GLY含量,同时下调了肝脏PFK和GK的表达。PFK和PK是糖酵解途径中重要的限速酶。在本试验条件下,高淀粉饲料中添加MLP显著上调了肝脏PFKGK的表达,表明MLP可能通过促进丙酮酸的合成,从而加速糖类的氧化。同时,MLP通过刺激磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(PI3K)-蛋白激酶B(AKT)信号通路,缓解胰岛素抵抗,显著降低了血糖含量[27]。本试验中,HD组肝脏GLY含量在添加MLP后显著降低,进一步表明MLP能促进肝糖原的分解。这与在黄鳝[20]和欧洲海鲈(Dicentrarchus labrax)[28]上的研究结果相似。研究表明,饲料中过高的淀粉含量会提高鱼类脂肪合成酶(如FAS和ACC)活性,促进脂质积蓄,导致肝脏肿大和HSI升高[29]。CPT1是参与脂肪分解代谢的关键酶之一,在PPARα的介导下,CPT1催化硫酰辅酶A转化为硫酰肉碱,从而启动线粒体中长链脂肪酸的β氧化;ACC催化乙酰辅酶A羧化为丙二酰辅酶A,随后FAS将之转化为棕榈酸,最终酯化为TG[30-31]。本研究结果表明,高淀粉饲料中添加MLP通过下调ACCFAS的表达,上调CPT1和PPARα的表达来抑制脂肪生成,加速脂肪酸氧化,从而降低了血清TG含量和肝脏的脂质沉积,这与MLP组大口黑鲈HSI显著降低的结果相一致。类似的结果在杂交鲶鱼(Pangasianodon gigas×Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)[32]和花鲈[33]上被证实。
研究表明,饲料中高碳水化合物压力超过机体的抗氧化能力时,肝脏会经历氧化应激,产生过量活性氧(ROS)和MDA,导致肝毒性和肝脏功能障碍,进而导致生理代谢紊乱[34-35]。肝脏的抗氧化系统[包括超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)、GSH-Px、T-AOC和过氧化物酶(peroxidase,POD)等]在捕获和消除过量的ROS方面起着关键作用。Qi等[24]研究发现,枸杞多糖能显著提高饲喂高碳水化合物饲料大口黑鲈肠道和肝脏中SOD、CAT和GSH-Px活性及mRNA相对表达量,降低MDA含量。体外试验表明,MLP能剂量依赖性提高过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导的团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)白细胞的抗氧化能力,有效缓解氧化损伤[36]。本研究中,饲喂高淀粉饲料显著降低了大口黑鲈肝脏T-AOC以及T-SOD和GSH-Px活性,显著提高了肝脏MDA含量,而添加MLP后显著提高了肝脏上述抗氧化酶的活性。这表明MLP能显著缓解高淀粉饲料造成的氧化应激和损伤,可能是MLP促进机体生成了谷氨酰胺、一氧化氮等物质,去除了各种组织细胞中的氧化物,从而减轻了对细胞的氧化损伤。
肝脏对免疫系统的贡献非常重要,免疫应激与抗氧化、炎症系统的激活密切相关[37-38]。IL-8作为一种炎性趋化因子,可趋化多种细胞至炎性组织;NF-κB和TNF-α是2种有效的促炎因子,可以通过调节其他细胞因子的表达来诱导炎症反应[39]。TGF-β和IL-10是多效性抗炎因子,通过抑制炎性细胞因子的释放来有效缓解炎症[40]。以往的研究表明,高碳水化合物饲料会引起TNF-α和白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)基因表达的显著上调,从而诱导炎症反应[41-42]。植物多糖具有免疫双向调节作用,即在正常生理条件下,可以通过促进细胞因子的产生来增强机体的免疫力;而在炎症发生后,可以减少促炎细胞因子的表达并保护细胞[43]。本试验中,HD组大口黑鲈肝脏中免疫相关基因IL-8、NF-κBTNF-α表达显著上调,肝脏IL-10和TGF-β表达显著下调,在添加MLP后其表达量表现出相反的结果,这表明在高淀粉饲料中添加MLP显著缓解了大口黑鲈肝脏的炎症反应,保护肝脏免受氧化应激损伤。血液中ALT和AST的活性是诊断肝脏损伤的重要指标。Zhou等[44]研究报道,不添加淀粉或者高淀粉供应均会导致金鲳鱼(Trachinotus ovatus)幼鱼血浆AST和ALT活性的升高,免疫能力的降低,从而导致幼鱼死亡率升高。高碳水饲料会导致乌鳢(Channa argus)内质网应激,并伴随着细胞自噬以及血清AST和ALT活性的升高[45]。本试验中,高淀粉导致大口黑鲈血清AST和ALT活性的显著升高,肝细胞空泡化加剧;而添加MLP后血清AST和ALT活性以及肝细胞空泡化数目显著降低。本试验血清生化指标和肝脏组织切片分析的结果进一步表明MLP能缓解高淀粉导致的肝脏炎症和肝脏损伤,提高大口黑鲈的免疫能力。
碳水化合物可通过调节肠道微生物群落来影响肠道健康和肠道功能。研究表明,饲料中添加5%~20%的玉米淀粉会提高卵形鲳鲹肠道弧菌属(Vibrio)、发光杆菌属(Photobacterium)和支原体属(Mycoplasma)等致病菌的相对丰度,提高卵形鲳鲹患病概率[46]。Zhang等[29]报道,高淀粉会降低鳜鱼肠道产丁酸菌(厚壁菌门、拟杆菌门)的相对丰度,增加肠道脂滴的积聚,导致肠道通透性增加,最终导致肠道炎症。植物多糖在抑制有害菌增殖的同时,增加有益菌的数量,促进短链脂肪酸的生成[47]。类似地,本研究中,HD组肠道厚壁菌门、拟杆菌门相对丰度和丁酸含量低于CK组;而添加MLP后厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门相对丰度升高,丁酸含量也呈上升趋势。丁酸能刺激机体产生细胞免疫和体液免疫反应,说明高淀粉饲料中添加MLP能提高大口黑鲈的免疫和抗病能力。厚壁菌门中的乳杆菌属可显著提高鱼肠道消化酶活性,并参与体内碳水化合物的发酵[48]。本研究发现,MLP组肠道乳杆菌属相对丰度高于HD组,说明高淀粉饲料中添加MLP能增强大口黑鲈的消化吸收能力,这可能是该组生长性能显著提升并与CK组持平的原因之一。肠道菌群的α多样性分析可以反映微生物群落的丰富度和和多样性。本研究发现,相比于HD组,MLP组Simpson指数和Shannon指数呈现上升趋势,这与黄芪多糖在克氏原鳌虾(Procambarus clarkii)[49]、浒苔多糖在花鲈[50]上的研究结果类似,说明MLP能有效恢复高淀粉胁迫下肠道菌群的多样性,从而维持大口黑鲈肠道健康。

4 结论

高淀粉饲料诱导了氧化应激和炎症反应,造成糖、脂代谢和肠道菌群紊乱,导致大口黑鲈生长性能降低。在高淀粉饲料中添加MLP可以提高大口黑鲈生长性能、抗氧化能力、肠道菌群多样性和有益菌相对丰度,缓解肝脏炎症,并通过加速糖类和脂肪酸氧化,抑制胰岛素抵抗,促进糖和脂代谢。
