Abstract

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of fermented black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) on hepatic histoarchitecture, antioxidant indexes, and intestinal non-specific immune enzyme activities, antioxidant indexes, tight junction protein gene expression, and microbiota composition of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). Based on a conventional diet formulation, four isonitrogenous and isolipidic experimental diets were prepared by adding 0 (G0), 2% (G2), 4% (G4), and 8% (G8) of fresh fermented black soldier fly larvae, respectively. A total of 480 channel catfish with an initial body weight of (2.75±0.01) g were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups (with 3 replicates per group and 40 fish per replicate). These groups were fed the corresponding four experimental diets for a 56-day feeding trial. The results showed as follows: 1) histological examination showed no pathological liver damage, with hepatocytes exhibiting regular arrangement, distinct nucleocytoplasmic boundaries, and no vacuolization or inflammatory infiltration was observed. 2) Compared with the control group (G0 group), hepatic total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and catalase (CAT) activity in the G2 and G4 groups were significantly increased (P<0.05), hepatic total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity in the G4 group was significantly elevated (P<0.05), while hepatic protein carbonyl (PrC) content in the G2, G4 and G8 groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 3) Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity in the G2 group and acid phosphatase (ACP) activity in the G4 group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); compared with the control group, intestinal CAT activity was significantly increased in the G2 group (P<0.05), while intestinal malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly reduced in the G2, G4, and G8 groups (P<0.05). 4) The relative expression levels of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and claudin-2 (Claudin-2) genes in the G2 group were significantly upregulated compared with the control group (P<0.05). 5) The α and β diversity of intestinal microbiota in channel catfish among all groups showed no significant changes (P>0.05). In intestinal microbiota, G2 group showed increased Firmicutes relative abundance and G8 group displayed decreased Proteobacteria with elevated Fusobacteria (mainly Cetobacterium) relative abundance. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 2% to 4% fresh fermented black soldier fly can improve hepatic antioxidant capacity, enhance intestinal mechanical barrier and immune barrier functions, and improve the intestinal microbiota structure of channel catfish.

鱼类肝脏与肠道健康是其维持正常生长、发育与抗病能力的生物学基础。肝脏作为物质代谢和毒素转化的中枢器官,其组织结构的完整性直接影响营养物质的代谢周转、储存效率及内源性毒物的清除能力[1]。肠道除负责营养吸收外,更凭借机械屏障、免疫屏障与微生物屏障共同构成防御体系,在抵抗病原侵袭和维持机体稳态中发挥关键作用[2]。在集约化水产养殖条件下,饲料引起的营养代谢负荷易导致肝细胞脂肪蓄积、抗氧化系统功能紊乱以及肠道屏障损伤,进而引发生长性能下降和疾病易感性上升。因此,开发能够协同改善肝肠健康的新型饲料原料,已成为推动水产养殖业可持续发展的重要研究方向。
黑水虻(Hermetia illucens L.),隶属于双翅目水虻科扁角水虻属,广泛分布于全球热带和温带地区[3],其幼虫能有效转化多种有机废物为高营养价值的蛋白质和生物肥料。黑水虻富含优质蛋白质且氨基酸均衡,同时还含有多种维生素及矿物质[4],在水产饲料中被视为最有应用前景的饲料原料之一[5]。除作为优质蛋白质源外,黑水虻还含有甲壳素[6]、抗菌肽[7]和月桂酸[8]等多种生物活性物质,是一种具有良好应用前景的功能性饲料原料。本团队在前期已探究了黑水虻干幼虫粉、脱脂幼虫粉、虫油以及鲜虫浆等常用制品在水产饲料上的应用效果,作为饲料中蛋白质或者脂肪原料的部分替代物,黑水虻制品在大口黑鲈(Micropterus salmoides)[9-10]、花鲈(Lateolabrax japonicus)[11-12]、杂交鳢(Channa maculate♀×Channa argus ♂)[13-14]、黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)[15-18]、吉富罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)[19]及凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)[20-21]等水产动物上均具有较好的应用效果,并辅有降低血脂、减少肝脏脂肪沉积、促进肝脏和肠道发育、提高免疫能力、增强抗氧化功能以及改善肠道菌群结构等益处。作为饲料添加剂,饲料中添加黑水虻虫浆对大口黑鲈[22-23]、杂交鳢[24-25]有明显的促生长作用,并且表现出促进蛋白质和脂质沉积、增强免疫与抗氧化能力、增加肠道菌群多样性、改善肠道健康等作用。
采用微波或热风等干燥方法制备黑水虻干虫或虫粉成本较高且加工过程会损失生物活性物质[26],黑水虻鲜虫浆的运输与储存成本较高[27]。相比之下,将黑水虻幼虫匀浆及酵解处理制成发酵黑水虻,不仅可降低加工成本,且产物中还富含由黑水虻蛋白转化产生的抗氧化肽[28]及外壳几丁质转化产生的壳聚糖[29]等生物活性物质,理论上发酵黑水虻作用效果更优。然而,关于发酵黑水虻的应用研究较为匮乏,目前仅见大口黑鲈[30-31]、对虾[32]及杂交鳢[27]上有相关报道。
斑点叉尾鮰(Ictalurus punctatus)隶属于鲶形目鮰科,是我国重要的水产养殖品种,具有对环境适应性强、食性广、抗病抗逆能力强、肉质紧致、味道鲜美以及几乎没有肌间刺的优点,深受养殖者和消费者青睐。据统计,2023年我国斑点叉尾鮰养殖产量达44.1万t[33]。本团队在前期研究中发现,饲料中添加2%和4%的发酵黑水虻可提高斑点叉尾鮰的增重率,并且添加2%的发酵黑水虻还可改善脂质代谢并减轻肝脏负担,促进肠道发育并提升营养吸收效率,增强非特异性免疫力[34]。然而,上述有益效应背后的深层机制,尤其是其对肝脏抗氧化防御体系及肠道屏障功能的调控作用,仍有待深入阐明。本试验旨在系统探究发酵黑水虻对斑点叉尾鮰肝脏组织形态、抗氧化能力以及肠道免疫与抗氧化能力、紧密连接蛋白基因表达、菌群结构的影响,从肝脏与肠道健康的角度揭示发酵黑水虻的作用机理,为其作为一种功能性饲料原料在斑点叉尾鮰精准饲料配方中的应用提供理论依据,这对促进黑水虻资源的高值化利用和水产养殖业的减抗、健康养殖具有重要的实际应用价值。

3 讨论

3.1 饲料中添加发酵黑水虻对斑点叉尾鮰肝脏健康的影响

鱼类肝脏结构的完整性是其生理功能的基础,营养代谢异常引发的病理改变常伴随氧化应激[35]。研究表明,黑水虻外骨骼高几丁质含量是诱导肝脏损伤的关键限制因子。本团队前期发现,添加9.6%的脱脂黑水虻虫粉可致鲈鱼肝脏空泡化[11],添加2%~8%黑水虻鲜虫浆可导致大口黑鲈肝细胞液泡变性及炎症浸润[23]。上述研究结果均显示了黑水虻中几丁质的负面影响。高剂量的几丁质通过干扰脂质代谢[36]以及激活炎症通路[37]损伤肝脏。本试验发现,黑水虻虫浆经发酵处理制成发酵黑水虻后,适宜的添加量(2%~8%鲜物质)下未对斑点叉尾鮰的肝脏产生损伤。该结果与在巴沙鱼(Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)[38]及大口黑鲈[30]的研究中得出的发酵黑水虻维持肝脏健康的结论一致,其关键机制在于发酵过程可将几丁质降解为小分子壳聚糖。
本试验进一步研究发现,发酵黑水虻不仅可缓解斑点叉尾鮰的肝脏损伤,还可通过调节氧化-抗氧化平衡系统提高鱼体健康水平。氧化应激本质是机体氧化-抗氧化系统失衡[39],其中线粒体膜超极化促进的活性氧(ROS)过度生成[40],可攻击生物膜多不饱和脂肪酸引发以MDA为标志物的脂质过氧化[41],同时导致蛋白质氧化形成羰基化产物。本研究中,与未添加发酵黑水虻的对照组相比,添加不同水平发酵黑水虻的3个试验组斑点叉尾鮰的肝脏PrC含量显著降低,说明在斑点叉尾鮰饲料中添加发酵黑水虻可降低鱼体氧化损伤,减少蛋白质氧化产物的产生,这与在大口黑鲈上得出的饲料中添加发酵黑水虻降低氧化损伤的研究结论[30]一致。T-AOC反映的是机体的整体抗氧化能力,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和CAT通过消除自由基提供对氧化损伤的保护,是关键抗氧化酶[42]。本研究中,饲料中添加2%~4%发酵黑水虻鲜物质可显著提高斑点叉尾鮰肝脏T-AOC和CAT活性,添加4%发酵黑水虻鲜物质还可显著提高肝脏T-SOD活性,说明适宜添加量的发酵黑水虻可通过增强自由基清除效能改善机体抗氧化功能。这一结论在不同的鱼种也得到了验证:在大口黑鲈[30-31]和杂交鳢[27]饲料中添加适量发酵黑水虻均可增强鱼体的抗氧化能力;当巴沙鱼饲料中发酵黑水虻虫粉替代鱼粉量超过25%时,其抗氧化能力增强[38]。减少氧化产物及增强抗氧化能力这种双重保护机制可能与黑水虻虫浆经发酵后的产物特性密切相关:一方面,黑水虻虫浆中几丁质的降解极大消除了促氧化因素;另一方面,黑水虻虫浆中富含的月桂酸可能通过激活核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)/抗氧化反应元件(ARE)信号通路上调抗氧化酶表达,协同增强机体的抗氧化防御能力[43]

3.2 饲料中添加发酵黑水虻对斑点叉尾鮰肠道屏障功能的影响

肠道是鱼类进行营养物质消化吸收的场所,其屏障系统更承担着抵御病原体入侵及维持内环境稳态的重要功能[44]。本试验探究了发酵黑水虻对斑点叉尾鮰肠道多重屏障的协同调控机制。
在机械屏障层面,肠道紧密连接由闭合蛋白(Claudins)和闭锁小带蛋白(ZOs)等紧密连接蛋白构成,通过连接肠上皮细胞形成选择性屏障,其完整性破坏将导致病原体入侵并诱发炎症反应[45]。本研究结果显示,饲料中添加2%发酵黑水虻鲜物质可显著上调斑点叉尾鮰肠道ZO-1和Claudin-2基因的相对表达量,表明该添加量下发酵黑水虻可提高斑点叉尾鮰肠道紧密连接蛋白的完整性,降低肠道通透性,从而强化机械屏障功能。这与吴佳瑄[46]报道的黄粉虫粉改善大口黑鲈肠道屏障功能的结果相一致。发酵处理可使黑水虻外骨骼中的几丁质降解为生物活性更高的壳聚糖,后者可通过激活细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(ERK1/2)信号通路促进紧密连接蛋白合成[47],这可能是发酵黑水虻改善肠道屏障完整性的重要分子基础。
在免疫屏障层面,LZM通过水解细菌肽聚糖层破坏细胞壁完整性,介导广谱抗菌作用[46]。AKP和ACP参与非特异性免疫反应,在免疫系统中起重要作用[48-50]。本试验中,饲料中添加2%和4%发酵黑水虻分别显著提高斑点叉尾鮰肠道AKP及ACP活性,表明发酵黑水虻可通过增强非特异性免疫酶活性改善肠道免疫功能。发酵黑水虻中高含量的月桂酸可能通过直接提高AKP和ACP活性以及调节TLR/NF-κB等炎症信号通路来增强肠道免疫功能[51]。此外,本试验中添加发酵黑水虻能显著改善斑点叉尾鮰肠道的抗氧化状态,具体表现为G2组CAT活性显著升高以及各添加组MDA含量显著降低。发酵黑水虻对肠道抗氧化状态的改善与其对免疫功能的增强密切相关,一方面,CAT活性的提升和MDA含量的下降,直接清除了过量的ROS,减轻了氧化应激对肠道上皮细胞的损伤,这不仅保护了细胞膜的完整性,也避免了过量ROS破坏紧密连接蛋白,从而为前述ZO-1和Claudin-2基因表达的上调创造了有利的微环境,巩固了机械屏障;另一方面,氧化应激的缓解间接稳定了免疫屏障,MDA等脂质过氧化产物本身即可激活炎症通路,其含量的降低有助于抑制过度的炎症反应。同时,一个氧化还原稳定的肠道环境确保了AKP及ACP等非特异性免疫酶能够高效行使功能。
在微生物屏障方面,饲料中添加发酵黑水虻虽未显著改变斑点叉尾鮰肠道菌群的α多样性和β多样性,但引发了具有功能特异性的菌群结构变化。饲喂添加2%发酵黑水虻鲜物质饲料的斑点叉尾鮰肠道菌群中,擅长分解复杂碳水化合物并产生如丁酸和乙酸等短链脂肪酸的厚壁菌门的相对丰度增加,这些短链脂肪酸可为肠上皮细胞供能并提升营养吸收效率[52],这与本团队前期观察到的该组增重率提高相呼应[34];饲喂添加8%发酵黑水虻鲜物质饲料的斑点叉尾鮰肠道菌群中,梭杆菌门尤其是鲸杆菌属的相对丰度异常升高。梭杆菌门可利用发酵产物进行增殖,并通过维生素B12合成和短链脂肪酸代谢等途径直接促进宿主生长并抑制致病菌[53-54],此类功能变化无需依赖整体菌群多样性的改变。在大口黑鲈饲料中添加发酵黑水虻后也观察到类似的梭杆菌门优势转变[30]。此外,含有多种条件致病菌的变形菌门的相对丰度降低,这可能与发酵产物中几丁质衍生物及有机酸等成分的抗菌作用有关,进一步优化了肠道微生态环境。

4 结论

综上所述,在斑点叉尾鮰饲料中添加2%~4%的发酵黑水虻鲜物质能维持肝脏健康,提高肝脏抗氧化能力,增强肠道机械屏障、免疫屏障功能以及抗氧化能力,改善肠道菌群结构。
