Dietary choline supplementation attenuated high-fat diet-induced inflammation through regulation of lipid metabolism and suppression of NF?B activation in juvenile black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii).

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to investigate whether dietary choline can regulate lipid metabolism and suppress NF?B activation and, consequently, attenuate inflammation induced by a high-fat diet in black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii). An 8-week feeding trial was conducted on fish with an initial weight of 8·16 ± 0·01 g. Five diets were formulated: control, low-fat diet (11 %); HFD, high-fat diet (17 %); and HFD supplemented with graded levels of choline (3, 6 or 12 g/kg) termed HFD + C1, HFD + C2 and HFD + C3, respectively. Dietary choline decreased lipid content in whole body and tissues. Highest TAG and cholesterol concentrations in serum and liver were recorded in fish fed the HFD. Similarly, compared with fish fed the HFD, dietary choline reduced vacuolar fat drops and ameliorated HFD-induced pathological changes in liver. Expression of genes of lipolysis pathways were up-regulated, and genes of lipogenesis down-regulated, by dietary choline compared with fish fed the HFD. Expression of nf?b and pro-inflammatory cytokines in liver and intestine was suppressed by choline supplementation, whereas expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines was promoted in fish fed choline-supplemented diets. In fish that received lipopolysaccharide to stimulate inflammatory responses, the expression of nf?b and pro-inflammatory cytokines in liver, intestine and kidney were all down-regulated by dietary choline compared with the HFD. Overall, the present study indicated that dietary choline had a lipid-lowering effect, which could protect the liver by regulating intrahepatic lipid metabolism, reducing lipid droplet accumulation and suppressing NF?B activation, consequently attenuating HFD-induced inflammation in A. schlegelii.

Project description:An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary carbohydrate to lipid (CHO:L) ratios on growth performance, muscle fatty acid composition, and intermediary metabolism in juvenile black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii). Five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets (48.0% crude protein and 18.0 MJ kg-1 gross energy) were formulated to contain different CHO:L ratios ranging from 0.33 to 3.75. Triplicate groups of 20 fish averaging 0.51 ± 0.01 g were fed with experimental diets twice daily to apparent satiation. The results indicated that final body weight (FBW), percentage weight gain (PWG), specific growth rate (SGR), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were significantly influenced by the dietary CHO:L ratios (p < 0.05). The highest FBW, PWG, and SGR were observed in fish fed the diet with a CHO:L ratio of 1.36 (p < 0.05). A two-slope broken-line regression analysis based on PWG indicated that the optimal dietary CHO:L is 1.08. Lipid content in the whole body decreased, and glycogen concentration in the liver increased with the increase of dietary CHO:L ratios from 0.33 to 3.75 (p < 0.05). Moreover, there was a positive correlation between muscle fatty acid composition and dietary fatty acid composition. The relative expression levels of genes involved in glucose metabolism, such as gk, pepck, and glut2 were upregulated by increasing the dietary CHO:L ratio. Also, the mRNA expression level of genes related to lipid synthesis, such as fas and acc? were significantly upregulated with dietary CHO:L ratios increasing from 0.33 to 3.75. The highest expression of genes involved in fatty acid ?-oxidation, such as cpt1 and acox1, were observed in fish fed the 1.36 CHO:L ratio diet. The gene expression of ?6 fatty acyl desaturase (fads2) in the liver significantly increased with increase of dietary CHO:L ratios from 0.33 to 3.75. Fish fed the diet with CHO:L ratios of 2.26 and 3.75 had lower expression levels of elovl5 than those fed the other diets. These results demonstrate that dietary optimal CHO:L ratios could improve PWG and SGR but also influence expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Based on the overall results, the optimal dietary CHO:L ratio is 1.08 for black seabream.

Project description:The fish-gut microbiota play a key role in the physiology, development, and fitness of its host. An understanding of fish-gut microbial communities and the factors influencing community composition is crucial for improving fish performance. In this study, we compared the gut microbiota of juvenile black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegelii among habitats: (1) wild, (2) offshore cage-culture, and (3) pond-culture. We also explored the relationships between the gut microbiota and host-associated environmental factors. Gut samples and associated environmental compartments were investigated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Our results revealed significant habitat-specific differences among the gut microbiota of juvenile A. schlegelii. Wild populations of juvenile A. schlegelii had more diverse gut microbiota than populations cultured in pond habitats due to their omnivorous feeding habits and the corresponding abundance of natural food resources. Significant variations in the composition, core taxa, and diversity of the microbiota were also found between the gut and the environmental compartments. However, no significant differences were observed among the microbiota of the environmental compartments in the relatively isolated pond habitat. Source tracking analysis recovered connections between the fish-gut microbiota and the diet, water and sediment environmental compartments. This connection was especially strong between the microbiota of the fish gut and that of the diet in the pond habitat: the diet microbiota accounted for 33.48 ± 0.21% of the gut microbiota. Results suggested that all A. schlegelii shared a core gut microbiota, regardless of differences in diet and habitat. However, environmental factors associated with both diet and habitat contributed to the significant differences between the gut microbiota of fish living in different habitats. To the authors' knowledge, this study presents the first comparison of gut microbiota among juvenile A. schlegelii with different diets and habitats. These findings enrich our understanding of the gut microbiota of A. schlegelii and help to clarify the interaction between gut microbiota and environmental factors. Our results may also help to guide and improve fish ecological fitness via the regulation of gut microbiota, thereby increasing the efficacy of stock enhancement programs for this species.
