Corticosterone-mediated physiological stress modulates hepatic lipid metabolism, metabolite profiles, and systemic responses in chickens.

ABSTRACT: The impact of physiological stress on lipid metabolism, the metabolome, and systemic responses was examined in chickens. To incite a stress response, birds were continuously administered corticosterone (CORT) in their drinking water at three doses (0?mg/L, 10?mg/L, and 30?mg/L), and they were sampled 1, 5, and 12 days after commencement of CORT administration. Corticosterone administration to birds differentially regulated lipogenesis genes (i.e. FAS, ACC, ME, and SREBF1), and histopathological examination indicated lipid deposition in hepatocytes. In addition, CORT affected water-soluble metabolite profiles in the liver, as well as in kidney tissue and breast muscle; thirteen unique metabolites were distinguished in CORT-treated birds and this was consistent with the dysregulation of lipid metabolism due to physiological stress. Acute phase responses (APRs) were also altered by CORT, and in particular, expression of SAA1 was decreased and expression of CP was increased. Furthermore, CORT administration caused lymphoid depletion in the bursa of Fabricius and elevated IL6 and TGF?2 mRNA expression after 5 and 12 days of CORT administration. Collectively, incitement of physiological stress via administration of CORT in chickens modulated host metabolism and systemic responses, which indicated that energy potentials are diverted from muscle anabolism during periods of stress.

Project description:This research was to determine effects of supplemental dietary microalgal astaxanthin (AST) on hepatic gene expression and protein production of redox enzymes, heat shock proteins (HSPs), cytokines, and lipid metabolism in broilers (BR) and laying hens (LH) under high ambient temperatures. A total of 240 (day old) Cornish male BR and 50 (19 wk old) White Leghorn Shavers LH were allotted in 5 dietary treatments with 6 and 10 cages/treatment (8 BR or 1 LH/cage), respectively. The birds were fed corn-soybean meal basal diets supplemented with microalgal (Haematococcus pluvialis) AST at 0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg diet for 6 wk. Supplemental AST to the BR diet linearly decreased (P < 0.10, R2 = 0.18-0.36) hepatic mRNA levels of several redox status-controlling genes, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSTF1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1), tumor necrosis factor-α, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1). The supplementation linearly elevated (P = 0.04, R2 = 0.20) diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) mRNA level and produced quadratic changes (P < 0.10, R2 = 0.15-0.47) in mRNA levels of glutathione S-transferase (GST), serine/threonine kinase (AKT1), P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38MAKP), lipid metabolism-controlling genes, and the protein production of HSP90 and P38MAPK in the liver. Supplementing AST to the LH diets linearly decreased (P < 0.10, R2 = 0.18-0.56) mRNA levels of GST, HSF1, JNK1, and interleukin 10; lipogenesis genes; and JNK1 protein production. However, supplemental dietary AST produced quadratic changes (P < 0.10, R2 = 0.26-0.72) in mRNA levels of most antioxidant-, stress-responsive, and lipid metabolism-related genes in the liver of LH. In conclusion, supplemental dietary AST affected the hepatic gene expression and protein production related to redox status, heat stress and inflammation, and lipid metabolism in both BR and LH. The impacts varied with the chicken type and demonstrated linear and quadratic regressions with the inclusion levels of AST.
