Supranutritional selenium level minimizes high concentrate diet-induced epithelial injury by alleviating oxidative stress and apoptosis in colon of goat.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:High concentrate (HC) diet-induced oxidative stress causes gut epithelial damages associated with apoptosis. Selenium (Se) being an integral component of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) plays an important role in antioxidant defense system. Therefore, increasing dietary Se level would alleviate HC diet-induced injuries in gut mucosa. The present study investigated eighteen cross-bred goats, randomly divided into three groups (n?=?6/group) fed either low concentrate (LC, roughage: concentrate ratio 65:35), high concentrate (HC, 35:65) or HC plus Se (HC-SY) diets for 10 weeks. Se was supplemented at the dose rate of 0.5 mg Se kg^-?1 diet in the form of selenium yeast. The background Se level in HC and LC diets were 0.15 and 0.035 mg.kg^-?1 diet, respectively. The Se at the dose of 0.115 mg.kg^-?1 diet was added in LC diet to make its concentration equivalent to HC diet and with the supplementation of 0.5 mg Se kg^-?1, the goats in group HC-SY received total Se by 0.65 mg.kg^-?1 diet. RESULTS:The molar concentrations of individual and total short chain fatty acids (TSCFA) significantly increased (P?

Project description:High-concentrate diets are continually used in ruminants to meet the needs of milk yield, which can lead to the occurrence of subacute rumen acidosis in ruminants. This study investigated the protective effects of dietary thiamine supplementation on the damage of the ruminal epithelium barrier function in goats fed a high-concentrate diet. Twenty-four healthy Boer goats (live weight of 35.62 ± 2.4 kg; age, 1 year) were randomly assigned into three treatments, with eight goats in each treatment, consuming one of three diets: a low-concentrate diet (CON; concentrate/forage, 30:70), a high-concentrate diet (HC; concentrate/forage, 70:30), or a high-concentrate diet with 200 mg of thiamine/kg of dry matter intake (HCT; concentrate/forage, 70:30) for 12 weeks. The additional dose of thiamine was based on our previous study wherein thiamine ameliorates inflammation. Compared with HC treatment, the HCT treatment had markedly higher concentrations of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidant capacity (P < 0.05) in plasma and rumen epithelium. The results showed that the apoptosis index was lower (P < 0.05) in the HCT treatment than in that of the HC treatment. Compared with the HC treatment, permeability and the electrophysiology parameter short circuit current for ruminal epithelial tissue were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in the HCT treatment. The immunohistochemical results showed that the expression distribution of tight junctions including claudin-1, claudin-4, occludin, and zonula occludin-1 (ZO-1) was greater (P < 0.05) in the HCT treatments than in the HC treatment. The mRNA expression in the rumen epithelium of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-1, B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 2, nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase 1, and the phase II metabolizing enzymes quinone oxidoreductase and heme oxygenase in the HCT group was significantly increased in comparison with the HC diet treatment (P < 0.05), whereas the mRNA expression of caspase 3, caspase 8, caspase 9, bcl-2 associated X protein, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, toll-like receptor 4, nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB), tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1β, interleukin, and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 decreased significantly in the HCT treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the HC treatment, the HCT diet significantly increased the protein expression of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-1, NQO1, HO-1, SOD2, serine/threonine kinase, p-Akt, Nrf2, and p-Nrf2; conversely, the expression of NFκB-related proteins p65 and pp65 was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). In addition, thiamine relieved the damage on the ruminal epithelium caused by the HC diet. The results show that dietary thiamine supplementation improves the rumen epithelial barrier function by regulating Nrf2-NFκB signaling pathways during high-concentrate-diet feeding.

Project description:PurposeIt is widely accepted that lipopolysaccharide and volatile fatty acids (VFA) accumulate in the digestive tract of ruminants fed diets containing high portions of grain. Compared to the ruminal epithelium, the hindgut epithelium is composed of a monolayer structure that is more "leaky" for lipopolysaccharide and susceptible to organic acid-induced damage. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in epithelial structure, apoptosis and inflammatory response in the hindgut of goats fed a high-concentrate diet for 6 weeks.Experimental designEight local Chinese goats with rumen cannulas were randomly assigned to two groups: one group was fed a high-concentrate diet (65% concentrate of dry matter, HC) and the other group was fed a low-concentrate diet (35% concentrate of dry matter, LC) for 6 wks. Ruminal fluid, plasma, and hindgut mucosa tissues were collected. Histological techniques, real-time PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate the tissues structure, cell apoptosis and local inflammation in the hindguts.ResultsFeeding HC diet for 6 wks resulted in a significant decrease of ruminal pH (p<0.01), and ruminal lipopolysaccharide concentrations were significantly increased in HC goats (p<0.05). Obvious damage was observed to mucosal epithelium of the hindgut and the intercellular tight junctions in HC, but not in LC, goats. The expression of MyD88 and caspase-8 mRNA was increased in colonic epithelium of HC goats compared to LC (p<0.05), and the expression of TLR-4 and caspase-3 showed a tendency to increase. In the cecum, interleukin-1β mRNA expression was decreased (p<0.05), and caspase-3 showed a potential increase (p = 0.07) in HC goats. The level of NF-κB protein was increased in colonic epithelium of HC goats. Caspase-3 activity was elevated in both colon and cecum, whereas caspase-8 activity was statistically increased only in colon.ConclusionsFeeding a high-concentrate diet to goats for 6 wks led to hindgut mucosal injuries via activating epithelial cells apoptosis and local inflammatory response.
