Abstract

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of different dietary corn starch supplemental levels on growth performance, serum biochemical indices, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and hepatic gene expression in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀×Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂). Hybrid groupers with an initial body weight of (18.97±0.04) g were randomly divided into 5 groups with 3 replicates per group and 25 fish per replicate. Fish in each group were fed isonitrogenous (crude protein content 46.00%) and isolipidic (crude lipid content 12.00%) experimental diets with corn starch supplemental levels of 0 (D1 group), 7% (D2 group), 14% (D3 group), 21% (D4 group) and 28% (D5 group), respectively. The experimental period was 56 d. The results showed as follows: 1) dietary corn starch supplemental level significantly affected weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency (FE) of groupers (P<0.05). All the above indices showed a quadratic curve change with the increase of corn starch level (P<0.05), and reached the peak in the D3 group. The optimal corn starch supplemental level fitted with SGR as the evaluation index was 12.5%; the hepatosomatic index (HSI) of the D5 group was significantly higher than that of the other groups (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the D1 group, the contents of hepatic crude lipid, serum glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), as well as the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the D5 group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) With increasing dietary corn starch supplemental levels, hepatic glycogen content exhibited linear and quadratic responses (P<0.05), peaking in group D4; muscle glycogen content showed linear and quadratic responses (P<0.05). Among the key enzymes of hepatic glycolysis, the activity of hexokinase (HK) displayed linear and quadratic responses, while the activities of pyruvate kinase (PK) and phosphofructokinase (PFK) exhibited only quadratic responses (P<0.05). For key gluconeogenic enzymes, the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and protein content of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) presented linear and quadratic responses (P<0.05). The protein contents of fatty acid oxidation-related key enzymes carnitine palmitoyltransferase-Ⅰ (CPT-Ⅰ), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) showed linear and quadratic responses (P<0.05), whereas the protein content of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) exhibited only a linear response (P<0.05). 4) The results of KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the D1 and D3 groups were mainly enriched in the forkhead box O (FoxO) signaling pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway; DEGs between the D3 and D5 groups were mainly enriched in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway. The screening results of key differentially expressed genes in pathways showed that compared with the D1 group, the expression levels of hepatic 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1α-hydroxylase (cyp27b1) and insulin-like growth factor 2b (igf2b) in the D3 group were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05); compared with the D3 group, the expression level of hepatic lipoprotein lipase (lpl) gene in the D5 group was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), while the expression levels of NF-κB inhibitor alpha a (nfkbiaa) and NF-κB inhibitor alpha b (nfkbiab) genes were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). In conclusion, appropriate level of corn starch can significantly improve the growth performance and feed utilization efficiency of hybrid grouper, while excessive starch level will disrupt the homeostasis of glucose and lipid metabolism in fish, and induce hepatic lipid deposition and injury. This may be related to that high starch load activates the PPAR signaling pathway to promote lipid deposition, and down-regulates nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitors to induce inflammatory response.

谷物淀粉是畜禽的重要能量来源,其中玉米淀粉因其产量高、价格低廉成为畜禽饲料最主要的淀粉来源[1]。和畜禽相比,鱼类对谷物淀粉的供能依赖程度更低,但依旧能利用淀粉供给生长所需部分能量[2]。研究表明,饲料中添加适宜水平的淀粉可提高饲料利用率,节约饲料成本[3],但添加过量淀粉会抑制鱼类生长,降低饲料利用率,并伴随肝脏脂肪沉积增加等现象发生[4-5]。鱼类食性、种类、生存水温以及淀粉的物理化学特性如生熟度、来源等因素均可影响鱼类对淀粉的利用程度[6-7]。因此,充分研究鱼类对谷物淀粉的利用机制,是科学合理配制渔用饲料的前提。
珍珠龙胆石斑鱼(Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀×Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂)是典型的肉食性海水鱼类,凭借生长速度快、抗病能力强等优势,成为我国重要的海水养殖品种。《2024中国渔业统计年鉴》资料显示,2023年石斑鱼的养殖产量达到24.15万t,已成为我国主要海水养殖鱼类之一。近十余年来,石斑鱼营养与饲料方面的研究已有大量报道,虽已有少量文献探究石斑鱼对淀粉的利用特性,但现有研究仅局限于常规生理生化指标分析[8],而基于组学层面探索淀粉利用机制仍缺乏。鉴于此,本试验以玉米淀粉为淀粉源,配制等氮等脂、淀粉梯度分别为0、7%、14%、21%和28%的配合饲料开展饲养试验,系统测定饲料中不同玉米淀粉添加水平对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼生长、饲料利用及糖、脂代谢指标的影响,并通过转录组学技术进一步阐明玉米淀粉影响珍珠龙胆石斑鱼糖、脂代谢的相关机制,为合理配制石斑鱼配合饲料提供数据支撑与理论参考。

1.2 试验动物及饲养管理

本研究涉及的试验动物处理按照集美大学试验动物伦理委员会的规定进行(批准编号:2011-58)。试验所用珍珠龙胆石斑鱼为同一批孵化的鱼苗,先置于30 m2水泥池暂养。暂养2周后,鱼苗禁食24 h,挑选体重[(18.97±0.04) g]均匀的个体随机分配到15个养殖网箱(长100 cm×宽60 cm×高50 cm)中,每箱放鱼25尾,并进行称重,加盖网罩,共设置5个梯度玉米淀粉添加水平,各水平下设3个平行网箱。将网箱统一放置于80 m2的水泥池(池水深度1.8 m)中,沿池均匀排布,用四角绳索固定。试验期为56 d。饲养期间,各组每日于06:00和17:00定时投喂对应试验饲料;试验前期统一投喂粒径2.50 mm颗粒饲料,自试验第20天起更换为4.00 mm颗粒饲料直至试验结束。每次投喂至鱼表观饱食,即鱼群无上浮摄食行为时停止投料,记录各组投喂量;每日换水1次,换水量约为养殖水体的3/5,每周清洁1次水池;试验采用自然光照,水温维持28~30 ℃,水体持续充氧气,池水氨氮含量小于0.2 mg/L,水溶氧含量大于6 mg/L。

1.3 样品采集

饲养试验结束后,试验鱼禁食24 h,称取每箱鱼的总重并记录鱼数。从每箱中随机捞取11尾鱼,用丁香酚(100 μL/L)麻醉,逐尾测量体长;随后对每尾鱼进行尾静脉采血,将血液样品转移至离心管中,4 ℃下静置12 h,随后在4 ℃、1 027×g条件下离心10 min,收集血清,分装后于-80 ℃冰箱中保存,用于测定生化指标;采血完成后解剖试验鱼,分离肝脏并称重,用于计算肝体比。去除鱼体表皮后剥离背部肌肉,将肝脏与背部肌肉分别装入冻存管,于-20 ℃冰箱保存,用于测定肝脏和肌肉成分。另从每个网箱中选取6尾鱼,分离肝脏组织并经液氮速冻,置于-80 ℃冰箱中保存,用于糖、脂代谢相关指标测定和转录组学分析。

1.4.1 常规营养成分测定

饲料、肝脏和肌肉成分均采用国家标准测定,即水分、粗蛋白质、粗脂肪、粗纤维、粗灰分含量分别采用GB/T 6435—2014、GB/T 24318—2009、GB/T 6433—2025、GB/T 6434—2022、GB/T 6438—2007中的方法测定。总能参照 GB/T 45104—2024进行测定。无氮浸出物和蛋能比计算公式如下:
无氮浸出物含量(%)=100-水分含量-粗蛋白质含量-粗脂肪含量-粗灰分含量-粗纤维含量;
蛋能比(g/MJ)=(粗蛋白质含量×10)/总能。
式中:各营养成分含量单位为%。

1.4.2 生长性能计算

生长性能相关指标计算公式如下:
增重率(WGR,%)=100×(终末体重-初始体重)/初始体重;
特定生长率(SGR,%/d)=100×(ln终末体重-ln初始体重)/饲养天数;
蛋白质效率(PER)=(终末体重-初始体重)/(摄食饲料总量×粗蛋白质含量);
饲料效率(FE)=(终末体重-初始体重)/总摄食量;
肝体比(HSI,%)=100×肝脏重/单尾鱼重;
肥满度(CF,g/cm3)=100×单尾鱼重/鱼体长3;
摄食率(FR,%/d)=100×总摄食量/[饲养天数×(初始体重+终末体重)/2];
存活率(SR,%)=100×终末尾数/初始尾数。
式中:重量单位为g;时间单位为d;长度单位为cm。

1.4.3 血清生化指标测定

糖原含量以及丙酮酸激酶(PK)、己糖激酶(HK)、磷酸果糖激酶(PFK)、磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶(PEPCK)活性使用南京建成生物工程研究所生产的试剂盒测定;果糖-1,6-二磷酸酶(FBP)、肉碱脂酰转移酶-Ⅰ(CPT-Ⅰ)、脂肪酸合成酶(FAS)、激素敏感脂肪酶(HSL)和脂蛋白脂肪酶(LPL)含量使用江苏酶免实业有限公司生产的ELISA试剂盒检测。

1.4.5 肝脏转录组学文库构建及测序

选取D1、D3和D5组肝脏样本,送至武汉迈维代谢生物科技股份有限公司进行测定。提取样本总RNA并进行质量检测,质检合格后富集mRNA并将其片段化为短序列,经反转录合成双链cDNA。cDNA经纯化、末端修复、加A尾并连接测序接头后,筛选目标长度片段进行PCR扩增,构建cDNA测序文库。文库质检合格后,采用Illumina测序平台测序,并对数据进行严格的筛选过滤。使用HISAT2软件将质控后的clean reads与参考基因组比对,通过featureCounts工具计算基因表达量FPKM值,基于DESeq2法开展组间转录组差异表达分析,筛选得到差异表达基因(DEGs)。DEGs筛选阈值设置为|log2(差异倍数)|≥1且P<0.05。对筛选得到的DEGs进行GO功能富集分析与功能分类注释,并进行KEGG通路富集分析。

1.5 数据统计分析

采用SPSS 29.0软件进行试验数据的统计分析。所有数据先进行正态分布检验与方差齐性检验,满足条件后采用单因素方差分析(one-way ANOVA),组间差异显著时采用Duncan氏法进行多重比较。试验结果均以“平均值±标准误”表示,P<0.05表示差异具有统计学意义。采用线性与非线性回归模型,分析饲料中玉米淀粉添加水平与各指标间的剂量-效应关系。使用GraphPad Prism 10.1.2软件作图。

2 结果与分析

2.1 饲料中玉米淀粉添加水平对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼生长性能的影响

表2可知,饲料中玉米淀粉添加水平显著影响珍珠龙胆石斑鱼WGR、SGR、FE及HSI(P<0.05),WGR、SGR和FE随饲料玉米淀粉添加水平升高呈二次曲线变化(P<0.05)。3项指标均在D3组达到峰值,且显著高于D1、D4、D5组(P<0.05);此外,当饲料玉米淀粉水平由14%增加至28%时,珍珠龙胆石斑鱼SGR和FE显著下降(P<0.05),且上述指标低于D1组。HSI随饲料玉米淀粉添加水平升高呈线性和二次曲线变化(P<0.05),D5组HSI显著高于其余各组(P<0.05)。CF与SR在各组间无显著差异(P>0.05),不受饲料玉米淀粉添加水平的影响。将SGR与饲料玉米淀粉添加水平进行拟合,得出珍珠龙胆石斑鱼适宜饲料玉米淀粉添加水平为12.5%(图1)。

3 讨论

3.1 饲料中玉米淀粉添加水平对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼生长性能的影响

本试验结果表明,珍珠龙胆石斑鱼幼鱼的SGR和FE随饲料玉米淀粉添加水平升高呈先升后降的剂量效应关系,上述指标均在玉米淀粉添加水平14%时达到峰值;以SGR为评价指标拟合得出,该鱼饲料适宜玉米淀粉添加水平为12.5%。翘嘴鳜(Siniperca chuatsi)、虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)的饲料适宜淀粉添加水平分别为13.03%[9]和12.62%[10],与本试验所得适宜玉米淀粉添加水平相近。当饲料玉米淀粉水平由14%增加至28%时,珍珠龙胆石斑鱼的SGR和FE反而降至D1组水平,说明过量淀粉无法持续发挥促生长作用,多余淀粉所含能量难以被鱼体充分利用。已有研究证实,高淀粉饲料会对肉食性鱼类产生多重不利影响:大口黑鲈饲料中添加12%淀粉会抑制其生长性能[11];乌鳢摄食高淀粉饲料后,促炎因子表达上调[12];饲料淀粉水平高于15%时,杂交鳢(Channa maculata♀×Channa argus ♂)的PER出现下降[13]。上述结果提示,肉食性鱼类对碳水化合物的利用能力较低,过多的碳水化合物摄入易导致机体代谢负荷,从而降低蛋白质利用。
HSI是反映鱼体营养状态的重要指标,营养缺乏或过量均会对该指标产生影响[14]。本试验中,D5组HSI显著高于其余各组,这表明高淀粉条件下,未被机体有效利用的淀粉能量在肝脏蓄积,进而诱导肝脏代谢异常。该现象与高淀粉负荷引起大口黑鲈[15]、卵形鲳鲹[16]出现肝脏代谢异常的研究结论一致。此外,珍珠龙胆石斑鱼肝脏粗蛋白质含量随玉米淀粉添加水平升高呈逐渐下降趋势,表明高淀粉摄入会显著干扰鱼类蛋白质正常沉积与代谢过程。过量淀粉作为非适宜能量来源,会替代蛋白质供能,降低机体蛋白质利用率,造成肝脏蛋白质积累减少,进而导致全鱼蛋白质沉积比例下降。该结果与乌鳢幼鱼随饲料淀粉水平升高,肝脏粗蛋白质含量显著降低的结论[12]一致。

3.2 饲料中玉米淀粉添加水平对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼血清生化指标及糖、脂代谢的影响

INS的作用是降血糖,若高血糖状态下血清INS含量同步升高,则代表机体出现胰岛素抵抗[17]。GLC具有升血糖作用,与INS通过拮抗方式来调节血糖稳定[18]。本试验表明,随着饲料玉米淀粉添加水平升高,血清INS含量于D2组达到峰值,血清GLC含量在D3组降至谷值;D4、D5组2种激素含量均与D1组无显著差异。上述结果说明,较低淀粉负荷下INS与GLC可通过拮抗作用参与糖代谢调控;当淀粉负荷进一步升高时,血清INS与GLC不再发生明显响应,鱼类依靠INS、GLC调控糖代谢的调节能力减弱。这表明高淀粉负荷下INS与GLC的拮抗调节机制失效,该规律与虹鳟[6]相关研究所得结论一致。类似地,大口黑鲈摄食高淀粉饲料后,高血糖症状与血清INS含量不同步,反映出INS分泌相对不足[19]。IGF-Ⅰ可诱导细胞增殖与分化[20],但本试验中D3组血清IGF-Ⅰ含量显著高于其他各组,提示添加适宜水平的淀粉可通过提高IGF-Ⅰ含量促进机体蛋白质合成,淀粉添加水平过高反而降低血清IGF-Ⅰ含量[21]。据此推测,高淀粉负荷会引发高血糖应激,鱼类代谢优先应对血糖异常,蛋白质合成过程则被弱化。
HSL可水解TG并释放脂肪酸[22];CPT-Ⅰ则是促进脂肪酸向线粒体转运。细胞能量充足时其活性受抑,可阻断脂肪酸氧化通路,使代谢流转向脂肪酸合成[23]。FAS负责长链脂肪酸的从头合成[24],LPL负责水解极低密度脂蛋白和乳糜微粒中的TG[25]。在本试验中,饲料添加适宜水平的玉米淀粉(D3组)可使鱼体优先利用葡萄糖供能,脂肪酸氧化供能需求降低,肝脏HSL与CPT-Ⅰ蛋白含量相应处于较低水平。当鱼体处于高淀粉负荷(D5组)时,CPT-Ⅰ蛋白含量降低,游离脂肪酸通过抑制HSL的磷酸化,负向抑制脂肪分解。与此同时,高淀粉负荷使FAS和LPL蛋白含量上升,促进脂肪酸合成。这种“脂肪酸分解受抑”与“脂肪酸合成增强”的共同作用,导致血清TC、TG含量上升,进而促进肝脏脂质沉积。类似的结果在大口黑鲈[26]和尼罗罗非鱼[27]上均观察到。本试验中,血清HDL-C和LDL-C含量未受饲料玉米淀粉水平的显著影响,与部分研究结果[28-29]存在差异。推测与肝脏脂肪酸合成、外周脂类转运的动态平衡有关,原因可能有2方面:一是高淀粉负荷通过上调肝脏FAS蛋白含量促进脂肪酸合成与输出,使血清TC、TG含量升高,并在肝脏中堆积;二是高淀粉负荷通过上调肝脏LPL蛋白含量来加强外周脂肪酸和胆固醇向肝脏中输送,从而维持了HDL-C和LDL-C的表观稳态。此外,D5组血清ALT和AST活性显著升高,提示出现肝细胞损伤[30];结合肝糖原过度沉积、肝体比偏高的结果,该生理特征与代谢性脂肪肝的病理特征相符[31],在大口黑鲈[32]和大西洋鲑[33]中也有类似报道。

3.3 饲料中玉米淀粉添加水平对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼肝脏代谢影响的转录组分析

在D1组vs D3组的肝脏DEGs中,上调基因包括25-羟基维生素D3-1α-羟化酶(cyp27b1)、生长阻滞与DNA损伤可诱导蛋白(gadd45g)和胰岛素样生长因子2b(igf2b),下调基因包括Polo样激酶1(plk1)、细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶2(cdk2)和G2/有丝分裂特异性周期蛋白B1(ccnb1),DEGs显著富集于类固醇生物合成通路与FoxO信号通路。cyp27b1编码的1α-羟化酶是维生素D合成的关键限速酶[34];维生素D可抑制前体脂肪细胞分化,其缺乏易引发机体脂质沉积[35]。本试验中,D3组肝脏cyp27b1基因表达较D1组显著上调,推测cyp27b1上调可促进维生素D合成,可能是机体缓解脂质沉积的保护性调节机制。已有研究证实,INS等生长因子可通过磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶/蛋白激酶B(PI3K/AKT)通路促进叉头框蛋白O1(FoxO1)磷酸化,抑制其转录活性[36];而氧化应激产生的活性氧(ROS)可通过激活c-Jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)、p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38 MAPK)通路增强FoxO1转录活性,进而调控靶基因参与细胞周期阻滞、细胞凋亡及DNA修复等过程[37-38]。本试验D3组gadd45g表达较D1组上调,结合FoxO信号通路显著富集的结果,提示该组FoxO转录活性可能增强;活化的FoxO一方面诱导gadd45g表达,另一方面参与抑制细胞周期关键基因plk1、cdk2和ccnb1,进而阻滞细胞周期进程,缓解氧化应激诱发的细胞异常增殖[39]。此外,D3组肝脏igf2b基因表达较D1组显著上调。IGF2b可结合并激活IGF-Ⅰ受体,启动下游丝裂原活化蛋白激酶/细胞外调节蛋白激酶(MAPK/ERK)信号级联反应,促进细胞增殖与生长[40],提示该基因上调是D3组生长性能提升的重要分子基础。值得注意的是,IGF-Ⅰ受体激活的PI3K/AKT信号分支是调控细胞能量代谢的核心枢纽[41],体现了适宜淀粉水平下葡萄糖优先用于生长供能的能量代谢特征。
D3组vs D5组的肝脏DEGs中,上调基因包括lpl、酰基辅酶A 6-去饱和酶2(fads2)和脂多糖结合蛋白(lbp),下调基因包括血管生成素样蛋白4(angptl4)、脂滴包被蛋白2(plin2)、核因子-κB抑制因子αa(nfkbiaa)和核因子-κB抑制因子αb(nfkbiab),且DEGs显著富集于PPAR信号通路。fads2属于脂肪酸去饱和酶,可催化必需脂肪酸合成长链多不饱和脂肪酸[42];D5组肝脏fads2表达较D3组上调,提示在脂质合成活跃的状态下,细胞需合成更多不饱和脂肪酸以满足代谢需求。plin2为脂滴包被蛋白,参与维持脂滴结构稳态[43];plin2下调理论上可降低脂滴稳定性、促进脂肪动员与周转,但脂肪酸β-氧化能力未能同步增强(CPT-Ⅰ下调),大量游离脂肪酸无法被及时氧化分解,脂质过度动员诱发脂毒性,并进一步启动肝脏炎症反应,转录组结果从分子层面验证了这一推论。
鱼类通过胞内受体感知病原体的脂多糖(LPS)[44-45],进一步通过信号转导级联激活核因子-κB(NF-κB)。活化的NF-κB能够促进lbp表达上调。本研究中,相较于D3组,D5组上调了肝脏lbp炎症基因表达,NF-κB抑制因子基因nfkbiaanfkbiab表达下调,同时DEGs富集到Toll样受体信号通路。正常情况下,NF-κB激活会立即诱导nfkbia表达形成负反馈,限制炎症持续激活;该家族基因下调表明NF-κB信号通路负反馈机制发生障碍,使NF-κB信号持续活化,机体呈现持续炎症状态,这与本试验及以往研究观测到的生长不良、肝损伤结果[46]一致。

饲料中添加适宜玉米淀粉(14%)可显著提升珍珠龙胆石斑鱼生长性能、FE,其效应与血清IGF-Ⅰ含量升高、肝脏糖酵解酶活性增强及脂肪合成受抑制有关。高负荷淀粉(28%)会扰乱鱼体糖、脂代谢稳态,维持高血糖状态并伴随糖代谢调节能力失效。转录组学分析进一步揭示,高淀粉负荷可激活肝脏PPAR信号通路,上调lpl基因的表达,加剧脂质合成与沉积,并通过下调nfkbiaanfkbiab激活炎症通路,共同介导肝脏代谢损伤。
