Transcriptomic analyses of co-treatment of AFB1 and curcumin in chicken liver

ABSTRACT: Purpose:In order to assess the toxicity of AFB1 in chicken liver and the mechanism of curcumin alleviating AFB1-induced liver toxicity in chicken, we established a co-administered model to investigate LncRNA and mRNA profiles of chicken liver. Methods: RNA extracted by Total RNA Extractor (Trizol) was utilized to construct the final library. Libraries were pooled and sequenced on a 150-bp paired-end Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 run. The sequencing data obtained from Illumina Hiseq™ was filtered to get clean reads using Trimmomatic. The reads themselves and their matching reads which length was less than 35nt were removed. Clean reads were aligned to the reference sequence (Gallus_gallus-5.0, NCBI) using HISAT2. Results: Sampling directly from the liver yielded sufficient quantities of RNA to assess transcripts from each chicken and mapped to 24,883 Gallus gallus genes. Conclusions: We used the method of RNA-seq to find the target genes and related signaling pathways involved in the co-administered (AFB1 and curcumin) and their underlying mechanisms.

Project description:Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is extremely carcinogenic and can cause liver cancer in humans and animals with continued ingestion. As a natural compound, curcumin (Cur) exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties with few side effects. In this study, a total of 60 male mice (6-week-olds, 15 per group). After one week of acclimatization feeding, the mice were divided into control group (Con), AFB1 group, curcumin group (Cur), and AF+Cur group. The mice were gavaged with curcumin (Cur, 100 mg/kg) and/or AFB1 (0.75 mg/kg). To identify a new therapeutic target for AFB1-induced pyroptosis, we performed proteomic profiling for curcumin alleviating liver injury caused by AFB1 to further validate the targets through volcano plot analysis, Venn analysis, heatmap analysis, correlation, cluster analysis, GO and KEGG enrichment. AFB1 exposure resulted in the loss of hepatocyte membrane, swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum, and a significant increase in transaminase (ALT and AST) contents, while curcumin greatly improved these changes. We found that differentially expressed proteins are enriched in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and identified ITPR2 as a target of curcumin that alleviates AFB1-induced liver injury by proteomics. Furthermore, ITPR2 expression was detected by immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR for mRNA expression of genes downstream of ITPR2 (calpain1, calpain2, caspase-12, caspase-3). ITPR2-activated endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins (calpain1, calpaini2, bcl-2, BAX, cl-caspase-12, cl-caspase-3), apoptosis (PARP) and pyroptosis (DFNA5) related proteins were examined by western blotting. The analysis showed that it effectively prevents AFB1-induced pyroptosis by lowering endoplasmic reticulum stress via interfering with ITPR2 and its downstream proteins (calpain1, calpain2, bcl-2, Bax) and inhibiting caspase-12/caspase-3 pathway. Conclusively, this study applied proteomic profiling to elucidate ITPR2 as a new target, which might give a new perspective on the mechanism of curcumin alleviating AFB1-induced pyroptosis.
