Methyl donors dietary supplementation to gestating sows diet improves the growth rate of offspring and is associating with changes in expression and DNA methylation of insulin‐like growth factor‐1 gene

The study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal dietary methyl donors on the performance of sows and their offspring, and the associated hepatic insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) expression of the offspring. A total of 24 multiparous sows were randomly fed the control (CON) or the CON diet supplemented with methyl donors (MD) at 3 g/kg betaine, 15 mg/kg folic acid, 400 mg/kg choline and 150 μg/kg VB₁₂, from mating until delivery. After farrowing, sows were fed a common lactation diet through a 28‐days lactation period and six litters per treatment were selected to be fed until at approximately 110 kg BW. Maternal MD supplementation resulted in greater birthweight (p < 0.05) and increased the piglet weights (p < 0.01) and litter weights (p < 0.05) at the age of day 28, compared with that in CON group. The offspring pigs in the MD group had greater ADG (p < 0.05) and tended to lower F:G ratio (p = 0.07) compared with that of CON group from day 28 to 180 of age. The offspring pigs from MD group had greater serum IGF‐1 concentrations and expressions of hepatic IGF‐1 gene and muscular IGF‐1 receptor (IGF‐1r) protein at birth (p < 0.05), and greater hepatic IGF‐1 protein (p = 0.03) and muscular IGF‐1r gene expressions (p < 0.05) at slaughter, than that from the CON group. Moreover, the methylation at the promoter of IGF‐1 gene in the liver of newborn piglets and finishing pigs was greater in the MD group than that of the CON group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, maternal MD supplementation throughout gestation could enhance the birthweight and postnatal growth rate of offspring, associated with an increased expression of the IGF‐1 gene and IGF‐1r, as well as the altered DNA methylation of IGF‐1 gene promotor.

旨在通过16S rDNA测序技术分析腹腔注射苦参碱的昆明小鼠肠道菌群的结构。本研究将20只昆明小鼠随机分为2组,分别是苦参碱组(MT组)和阴性对照组(NC组),连续腹腔给药5 d,每天给药2次,收集各组粪便和各肠段组织,进行β多样性、Lefse及Metastats分析,qPCR检测差异菌种在各肠段的mRNA表达量,通过KEGG分析肠道菌群变化导致的代谢途径差异。稀释曲线结果显示,所测样本数据足以反映样品中物种多样性;β多样性分析结果显示,苦参碱可以调节肠道菌群的结构,Lefse及Metastats分析结果均显示,苦参碱显著增加了拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)、拟杆菌目(Bacteroidales)、Muribaculaceae、益生菌嗜酸乳杆菌(Lactobacillus acidophilus)的丰度,而显著减少了厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、瘤胃菌科(Ruminococcaceae)和脱硫弧菌属(Desulfovibrio)的丰度。与Lefse及Metastats分析结果一致,qPCR结果显示苦参碱组小鼠粪便中嗜酸乳杆菌含量增加。同时,苦参碱可以增强嗜酸乳杆菌在各肠段的定植。通过KEGG分析发现,NC与MT组之间在聚糖的生物合成与代谢、运输与分解代谢等代谢途径存在显著差异。本研究结果表明,腹腔注射苦参碱可以显著改变昆明小鼠肠道菌群的结构,增加有益菌嗜酸乳杆菌在肠道中的定植,并造成了聚糖生物合成与代谢、运输与分解代谢等代谢途径的差异,为进一步揭示苦参碱发挥药效作用的机理奠定了基础。

Inflammatory response in rat kidney with contrast-induced nephropathy

AIM：To observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in the renal tissue of the rats with contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). METHODS：Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=96) were randomly divided into control group (n=48) and CIN group (n=48). The model rats in CIN group were intravenously injected with iodinated contrast media (76% compound diatrizoate injection,10 mL/kg), while the rats in control group were injected with the same volume of saline. Six rats in each group were sacrificed at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 5 d, 10 d and 15 d after intravenous injection, respectively, and the blood and kidney samples of the rats were obtained. The renal tubular injury was assessed by histological examination (HE staining). The expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), TNF-α and NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels in the renal tissues were semiquantitatively measured by the methods of RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The correlations between the expression of TNF-α, NF-κB and tubular injury score, KIM-1 expression in renal tissue of CIN group were analyzed. RESULTS：The levels of serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in control group were not changed between different time points (P>0.05). The levels of SCr and BUN in CIN group displayed significant increases at different time points (except 15 d) compared with control group (P<0.05). The renal tubular injury score in CIN group was significantly higher at all time points than that in control group (P<0.05). The expression of KIM-1, TNF-α and NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels up-regulated significantly at 6 h and the peaking of KIM-1 expression was at 24 h, while the peaking of TNF-α and NF-κB expression was at 48 h in CIN group. The expression of KIM-1,TNF-α and NF-κB was significantly increased in CIN group compared with control group except at 15 d (P<0.05). The expression of TNF-α and NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels showed close correlations with renal tubular injury score (r=0.843, 0.758, 0.743 and 0.707, P<0.05). The expression of TNF-α and NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels was also positively correlated with KIM-1 expression (r=0.863, 0.807, 0.839 and 0.855, P<0.05). CONCLUSION：The expression of TNF-α and NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels in the renal tissues of CIN group is up-regulated and is closely related with renal tubular injury, indicating that the inflammatory response is involved in the pathogenesis of CIN.
