Differential regulation on C5 expression in goose versus mammals by glucose/palmitate provides a potential protection for goose fatty liver

Goose fatty liver is a specific type of nonalcoholic fatty liver that is protected from harmful effects associated with severe steatosis. Our previous findings suggest that suppression of the complement C5 may be relevant, but the mechanism is unclear. Therefore, in this study, we first verified the expression pattern of complement genes (including C5) during goose fatty liver formation and then determined the liver fat content and fatty acid composition by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), followed by selecting the differential metabolites to treat HepG2, goose and mouse primary hepatocytes, aiming to explore the mechanism of C5 and inflammation suppression in goose fatty liver. The data confirmed the suppression of complement genes (including C5) in goose fatty livers. Moreover, fat content was significantly higher in fatty liver versus normal ones, with oleic acid and palmitic acid dominantly accounting for the difference. In line with this, high concentration of palmitate led to down regulation of C5 expression in goose primary hepatocytes whereas upregulation in mouse primary hepatocytes and HepG2 cells. In conclusion, regulation on C5 expression by fatty liver related factors including high level of palmitic acid may contribute to the protection of goose liver from severe hepatic steatosis.     

佐剂对鸡补体水平影响的研究

６０只未免疫的伊莎褐雄鸡雏分成４组，于２４日龄开始用试管法以５０％溶血度为标准样检测补体。３１日时Ａ，Ｂ，Ｃ三组分别皮下注射司盘－８０＋白油，氢氧化铝胶和ＢＣＧ，Ｄ组对照；４６日龄时再次注射。从３１日龄至５６日龄每隔５天检测一次。结果表明，佐剂使鸡的补体水平普遍升高。于每次注射后第５天达到高峰，第１０天左右接近正常。其中ＢＣＧ影响现大，并于５１日龄时天对照组异显著（０．０１＜Ｐ＜０．０５）．

盐酸小檗碱对草鱼补体系统及补体c3作用的研究

为了探究盐酸小檗碱(berberine hydrochloride)对草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)补体c3的作用机理,用含0、0.06%、0.12%、0.24%盐酸小檗碱饲料投喂草鱼,在第7 d、14 d检测血清中补体c3含量,在第14 d检测肝脏中补体c3 mRNA表达量及急性感染嗜水气单胞菌(Aeromonas hydrophila)后存活情况。并进一步对盐酸小檗碱体内药代动力学和补体消耗试验进行了研究。结果显示;摄食盐酸小檗碱的草鱼血清中补体c3含量和肝脏补体c3 mRNA表达量均显著性增加(P0.05/P0.05),草鱼的存活率与对照组相比也有显著性提高(P0.01)。补体消耗试验结果显示,当盐酸小檗碱在血清中浓度小于5 mg/L时与对照组相比补体消耗不显著,当盐酸小檗碱浓度大于5 mg/L时,补体消耗达到显著性差异(P0.05),表明此时盐酸小檗碱与补体c3直接结合,激活补体。药代动力学实验发现,灌服盐酸小檗碱后,出现双峰现象,两峰值分别是0.243 mg/L和0.117 mg/L,此浓度远远低于与补体c3直接结合量最低量(5 mg/L)。结果表明,盐酸小檗碱对草鱼补体c3的作用机理可能是通过上调补体c3mRNA的表达增加补体c3数量,而非通过直接结合补体c3来改变其活性。

Depletion of serum alternative complement pathway activity in gilthead seabream caused by α-tocopherol and n-3 HUFA dietary deficiencies

Studies on the alternative complement pathway (ACP) activity in fish have suggested the particular relevance of this pathway as a non-specific immune mechanism being its activation directly related with the availability of certain nutrients. In the present study ACP activity in gilthead seabream fed different dietary levels of a-tocopherol and n-3 HUFA deficiencies was studied under different stress conditions (overcrowding and repetitive chasing).A reduction in ACP activity was found when diets with deficiencies in -tocopherol and n-3 HUFA were assayed at any of the experimental conditions assayed. Levels of plasma cortisol were similar to those of fish after crowding stress subjected to dietary deficiencies at low stocking density, suggesting that dietary deficiencies produced a chronic elevation of cortisol. When fish were subjected to repetitive chasing, plasma cortisol from fish fed control diet showed a progressive increase whereas plasma cortisol levels from both dietary deficient groups showed a transitory peak 4 days after the beginning of the repetitive chasing. However, ACP activity levels of fish fed deficient diets remained lower than the control group and constant during chasing period. These results suggest that both a-tocopherol and n-3 HUFA nutritional deficiencies rather than stress are an important determinant of fish complement activity.     

Immunostimulant effects of nucleotide isolated from yeast RNA on carp, Cyprinus carpio L.

Nucleotides from yeast RNA were evaluated for their ability to enhance the non-specific immune responses in carp, Cyprinus carpio . Oral administration of nucleotides to fish daily for 3 days resulted in enhanced responses of phagocytic and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) activities in kidney phagocytic cells. This activation of kidney cells was observed for at least 10 days post-treatment. The serum complement and lysozyme activities also increased in fish treated with nucleotides. Furthermore, the number of Aeromonas hydrophila in nucleotide-treated fish significantly decreased in the blood, kidney and liver after intraperitoneal injection. Thus yeast nucleotides appear to enhance non-specific immune responses in fish.
