本试验旨在研究核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域蛋白/受体相互作用蛋白2(NODs/RIP2)信号通路关键基因在断奶仔猪不同组织的分布情况。选择12头杜×长×大断奶仔猪,屠宰,取脾脏、胸腺、肠道淋巴结、下丘脑、垂体、肾上腺、肝脏、腓肠肌、皮下脂肪、空肠和回肠组织。应用实时荧光定量PCR技术测定NODs/RIP2信号通路关键基因,包括NOD1、NOD2和RIP2在各组织的mRNA表达水平。结果表明:NOD1、NOD2和RIP2在所检测的11个组织中均有表达。NOD1 mRNA在肠道淋巴结和下丘脑表达量较高;NOD2 mRNA在肠道淋巴结、脾脏、下丘脑和胸腺表达量较高;RIP2 mRNA在肠道淋巴结、胸腺和脾脏表达量较高。NODs/RIP2信号通路关键基因在不同组织中表达差异较大,可能与仔猪各组织对病原的识别和抵抗能力有关。  相似文献

试验旨在研究复合植物精油（OCT）对脂多糖（LPS）诱导的断奶仔猪的免疫应激的影响。试验选取28日龄左右的杜×长×大三元杂交仔猪，随机分成3个处理组：对照组（基础日粮，注射生理盐水），LPS组（基础日粮，注射LPS），OCT组（基础日粮+50 mg/kg OCT，注射LPS）。每组8个重复，每个重复1头猪。于试验第21天注射LPS（100 μg/kg体重）或等体积的生理盐水，注射3 h后前腔静脉采血进行白细胞分类计数；6 h后屠宰，取胸腺、脾脏，-80℃保存，用于测量胸腺、脾脏免疫相关基因白介素-4（IL-4）、白介素-6（IL-6）、白介素-10（IL-10）、肿瘤坏死因子（TNF-α）、核因子（NF-κB）以及转录相关基因转录激活因子3（STAT3）的基因相对表达量。结果表明：①与对照组相比，LPS刺激降低了仔猪血液中白细胞、中性粒细胞、淋巴细胞、单核细胞及嗜酸性粒细胞数量（P<0.05）；与LPS组相比，日粮中添加OCT提高了白细胞的数量（P<0.05）；②与对照组相比，LPS刺激上调了脾脏、胸腺IL-6、STAT3 mRNA水平（P<0.05），下调了脾脏IL-4、TNF-α及胸腺IL-4、TNF-α、NF-κB mRNA水平（P<0.05）；与LPS组相比，添加OCT下调了脾脏、胸腺IL-6、STAT3 mRNA水平（P<0.05）；上调了胸腺IL-4、IL-10、TNF-α、NF-κB的mRNA水平（P<0.05）。综合上述结果，LPS诱导发生了仔猪免疫应激，OCT在一定程度具有缓解作用。  相似文献

A study was conducted with 20 weaned barrows (14 d, 4.98 +/- .21 kg) to determine the effect of spray-dried plasma (SDP) on the pig's immune response to a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. After weaning, pigs were fed a diet containing 0 or 7% SDP for 7 d. On d 6 postweaning, all pigs were fitted with a jugular catheter. On d 7 postweaning, the pigs were given an i.p. injection of either saline or LPS (150 microg/kg BW) followed by a 3-h blood collection every 15 min. Following blood collection, all pigs were killed and tissue was collected for mRNA analysis. Additionally, the small intestine was collected for measurement of villus height, crypt depth, and villus height:crypt depth ratio (VCR) at three sites (25, 50, and 75% of the total length). Feeding SDP resulted in reduced (P < 0.05) mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) mRNA in the adrenal gland, spleen, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and liver. Additionally, expression of IL-6 mRNA was reduced (P < 0.05) in the spleen and pituitary gland for pigs fed SDP. For pigs fed the diet with SDP, LPS administration did not affect (P > 0.10) cytokine mRNA expression, whereas LPS reduced expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in the spleen and IL-1beta mRNA in the adrenal gland, spleen, and thymus for pigs fed the diet without SDP. For pigs fed the diet with SDP, LPS caused serum TNF-alpha to increase 150-fold compared to a 60-fold increase for pigs fed the diet without SDP. Similarly, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) increased 110-fold for pigs fed the diet with SDP compared to a 16-fold increase for pigs fed the diet without SDP. For pigs fed the diet with SDP, LPS caused major villus atrophy, whereas for pigs fed the diet without SDP, LPS had no effect on intestinal morphology. These results demonstrate that the basal activation of the immune system appears to be less for pigs fed the diet with SDP compared to pigs fed the diet without SDP after weaning. Additionally, for pigs fed the diet with SDP, there appeared to be an overresponse of the immune system following LPS administration, which resulted in major damage to the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.  相似文献

Inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression in the lymphatic organs of neonatal, 1-month-old and adult pigs was compared. The mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- in the spleen, thymus, tonsil and popliteal and mesenteric lymph nodes was investigated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Stronger IL-1β mRNA expression was observed in the 1-day-old and 1-month-old piglets than in the adult pigs. In thymus, tonsil and mesenteric lymph node, IL-1β mRNA expression in 1-day-old piglets was stronger than in 1-month-old pigs. The expression of IL-6 mRNA in the 1-day-old and 1-month-old tonsil tended to be stronger than in the adult pigs. IL-18 and TNF- mRNA expression was constant in all the samples examined. The expression of IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA may reflect an inflammatory reaction against the exo- and endogenous foreign bodies occurring in the lymphatic organs, especially in the tonsil, of neonatal piglets.  相似文献

本试验通过研究高剂量单宁酸对断奶仔猪血液学参数、脏器指数和组织病理学的影响,来评估高剂量单宁酸用于断奶仔猪饲粮的安全性。选取21日龄左右的杜长大(DLY)断奶仔猪144头,按照性别和体重采用随机完全区组设计分为4组(每组6个重复,每个重复6头猪,公母各占1/2):对照组仔猪饲喂基础饲粮,试验组仔猪分别饲喂在基础饲粮中添加0.2%、1.0%和2.0%单宁酸(提取自五倍子,等量代替基础饲粮中的豆粕)的试验饲粮。预试期5 d,正试期28 d。结果显示:与对照组相比,1)饲粮添加1.0%和2.0%的单宁酸显著提高了血液中红细胞数量(P<0.05),对血红蛋白浓度和红细胞压积有提高趋势(0.05≤P<0.10);此外,血液中红细胞数量、血红蛋白浓度和红细胞压积与单宁酸添加剂量呈显著的线性正相关(P<0.05)。2)饲粮添加0.2%、1.0%和2.0%的单宁酸对血清中白蛋白浓度有提高的趋势(0.05≤P<0.10);血清中谷草转氨酶活性随着单宁酸添加剂量的增加而线性提高(P<0.05)。3)饲粮添加1.0%和2.0%的单宁酸显著降低了肝脏指数(P<0.05),且肝脏指数随着单宁酸添加剂量的增加而线性降低(P<0.05);饲粮添加0.2%的单宁酸对脾脏指数有降低趋势(0.05≤P<0.10);饲粮添加0.2%和1.0%的单宁酸对肾脏指数有降低趋势(0.05≤P<0.10),且肾脏指数随着单宁酸添加剂量的增加先降低后增高,有二次回归趋势(0.05≤P<0.10)。4)饲粮添加0.2%、1.0%和2.0%的单宁酸均未导致断奶仔猪的心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏、胃、十二指肠、空肠、回肠、直肠、胸腺和胰腺等组织发生病变;饲粮添加2.0%的单宁酸导致肠系膜淋巴结中局部淋巴小结生发中心扩张。由此可见,饲粮添加0.2%、1.0%和2.0%的单宁酸虽然降低了断奶仔猪的肝脏指数,但对断奶仔猪的血液学参数和组织病理学无明显的负面影响,表明饲粮中添加低于2.0%的单宁酸对断奶仔猪是相对安全的。  相似文献

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a mycotoxin commonly found as Penicillium genus secondary metabolite in feedstuffs and silages. Feeding with MPA contaminated silages may modulate the immune system in the farm animals and can cause appetite lost, ketosis, paralysis and abortion. The aim of the present study was to characterize the long-term MPA effect on both the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) isoforms I and II mRNA expression in white blood cells (WBC) and various tissue of healthy sheep. In treated animals 300 mg MPA/day/sheep was applied. In all investigated tissues the IMPDH I and II mRNA was abundant: WBC, spleen, thymus, ileum, jejunum, kidney, liver, pharyngeal and mesenterial lymph node. An efficiency-corrected relative quantification of the IMPDH types I and II isoforms mRNA were performed by normalizing with the constant reference gene expression of beta-actin. High IMPDH I mRNA expression levels were seen in kidney > mesenterial lymph node > jejunum > spleen > pharyngeal lymph node. Medium and low abundance was found in ileum > WBC > liver > thymus. Type II mRNA was highly expressed in liver > thymus > jejunum. In pharyngeal lymph node > spleen > ileum > mesenterial lymph node > kidney > WBC medium to low IMPDH II mRNA concentrations were detected. Under MPA treatment the IMPDH I mRNA expression was not significantly regulated in WBC, only trends of down- and upregulation were observed. Surprisingly in jejunum an upregulation could be observed (P < 0.05). In pharyngeal lymph node a tendency to downregulation was shown. This may be due to frequent ruminant activities and frequent exposition of MPA to the pharyngeal lymph nodes. In contrast to type I mRNA expression, IMPDH II mRNA was significantly downregulated in ileum (3.4-fold, P < 0.01) and tendencies in downregulation could be seen in jejunum (5.1-fold, P = 0.14). In addition, significant downregulation of IMPDH II gene expression over the entire feeding experiment could be shown in WBC of MPA-treated animals compared with untreated animals (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the recent study demonstrates that feeding sheep with MPA-contaminated silage did not induce IMPDH I mRNA expression in various tissues and blood, except in jejunum, but has suppressive effects on IMPDH II mRNA expression in WBC and ileum.  相似文献

The subsets of T lymphocytes in thymus, spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes were investigated in normothermic and hyperthermic mice treated with fluoroquinolones administered orally six times at 24 h intervals at doses of 15 or 75 mg/kg (flumequine, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin) and 5 or 25 mg/kg (enrofloxacin). It has been found that fluoroquinolones can modulate CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ marker expression on thymocytes, splenocytes and lymphocytes of mesenteric lymph nodes. Flumequine (15 mg/kg) decreased the percentage of immature CD4+CD8+ thymic cells and increased the percentage of mature CD4+ and CD8+. When the dose of flumequine was increased to 75 mg/kg a reduction in the maturation of thymocytes was observed. Administration of flumequine, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin, irrespective of doses applied, increased the percentages of CD3+ splenocytes of CD4+ spleen cells. Exposure to enrofloxacin decreased the percentage of T helper-inducer cells. Flumequine and ciprofloxacin augmented the percentage of CD3+ mesenteric lymph node cells and increased the percentage of CD8+ cells. In contrast, norfloxacin and enrofloxacin decreased the percentage of CD3+ mesenteric lymph node cells and the percentage of CD4+ cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from E. coli (25 micro g/mouse) increased the percentage of single-positive CD4+ thymocytes, but did not affect the percentage of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ splenocytes and mesenteric lymph node cells. Flumequine and ciprofloxacin administered to mice pior to LPS potentiated its stimulant effect on the maturation of thymic cells ( increased percentage of mature CD4+ and CD8+ thymocytes). Pre-treatment with norfloxacin or enrofloxacin either reduced or did not modify the stimulant effect of LPS on maturation of thymic cells. Flumequine, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin administered prior to LPS decreased the percentage of CD8+ splenocytes and increased the percentage of CD4+ spleen cells. Norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin at a dose of 75 mg/kg reduced the percentage of CD8+ mesenteric lymph node cells in hyperthermic mice. Pretreatment with norfloxacin at a dose of 15 mg/kg augmented the percentage of mesenteric lymph node cells. It was concluded that the modulating effects of fluoroquinolones depends on the chemial structure of drugs, dose administered as well as immunologic status.  相似文献

日粮添加谷氨酰胺对早期断奶仔猪抗氧化能力的影响   总被引：39，自引：1，他引：39  
本试验选用大长北母猪产仔猪45头,21日龄断奶并宰杀5头公仔猪作为哺乳对照,其余40头随机分为试验组和对照组,每组20头公母各半。试验组日粮添加1.2％的谷氨酰胺,以研究添加GLN对早期断奶仔猪血浆GLN浓度以及血浆、肝脏、肠粘膜、肠系膜淋巴结和脾脏中GSH和SOD水平的影响。结果表明:试验组仔猪28日龄和35日龄血浆GLN水平极显著高于对照组（P<0.01）;试验组仔猪,血浆还原型谷胱甘肽水平35日龄和49日龄时高于对照组（P<0.01）;肝脏和肠系膜淋巴结中还原型谷胱甘肽35日龄时高于对照组（P<0.01,P<0.05）,49日龄时有增加但差异不显著;肠道和脾脏中还原型谷胱甘肽含量与对照组相比有增加,但差异不显著。添加谷氨酰胺后,仔猪35日龄时肝脏和49日龄脾脏中SOD均极显著低于未添加组（P<0.01）。由此可见,日粮中添加GLN可以缓解由于早期断奶引起的血浆GLN水平降低,并对维持体内还原型谷胱甘肽起重要作用。  相似文献

The frequency and the distribution of apoptotic cells were investigated in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lymphoid tissues from healthy conventional pigs at four different ages (6 days, 2 months, 3.5 months and 5 months). Samples of tonsil, mesenteric lymph node, spleen, thymus and Peyer's patches were histologically processed and apoptosis evaluated with the TUNEL reaction and cleaved caspase-3 immunohistochemistry. In each technique, quantification of positive labelling was done for each particular lymphoid tissue area. The labelling pattern and distribution were similar for TUNEL and cleaved caspase-3. TUNEL stained mainly apoptotic bodies inside macrophages, but signal was also seen in free apoptotic bodies and in the nuclei of lymphocyte-like cells. The anti-cleaved caspase-3 antibody labelled mainly nuclei of lymphocyte-like cells. All tissues presented a similar distribution pattern of apoptosis, except for the 6-day-old group. In this group, a scattered distribution of positive cells was detected in tonsil, lymph node and spleen. In the tonsil and mesenteric lymph nodes from the older pigs, follicular areas presented higher amounts of positive cells than interfollicular areas. Moreover, the splenic white pulp showed more positive reaction than the red pulp, especially when they included germinal centres. In all groups, the follicular areas of ileal Peyer's patches presented more labelled cells than the dome and the lamina propria. In the thymus, the higher apoptotic rates were found in the cortex. In general, TUNEL yielded higher rates of positive cells than cleaved caspase-3 immunolabelling. A good correlation between the two techniques was found for thymus, tonsil and mesenteric lymph node, but not for Peyer's patches and spleen. This study describes a detailed histochemical characterization of apoptosis in pig lymphoid tissues using TUNEL and a cleaved caspase-3 immunolabelling at different ages. Moreover, our results indicate that TUNEL and cleaved caspase-3 techniques can be equivalent only when tissues have a high or low levels of apoptosis, since a considerable discrepancy was found in intermediate situations. Data from this study should be useful for future comparative studies under disease conditions.  相似文献

Seventy-two crossbred pigs (7.58 +/- 0.30 kg BW) weaned at 28 +/- 3 d of age were used to investigate the effects of fish oil supplementation on pig performance and on immunological, adrenal, and somatotropic responses following an Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in a 2 x 2 factorial design. The main factors consisted of diet (7% corn oil [CO] or 7% fish oil [FO]) and immunological challenge (LPS or saline). On d 14 and 21, pigs were injected intraperitoneally with either 200 microg/kg BW of LPS or an equivalent amount of sterile saline. Blood samples were collected 3 h after injection for analysis of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cortisol, growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I. On d 2 after LPS challenge, peripheral blood lymphocyte proliferation (PBLP) was determined. Lipopolysaccharide challenge decreased ADG (487 vs. 586 g; P < 0.05) and ADFI (as-fed, 776 vs. 920 g; P < 0.05) from d 14 to 21 and ADG (587 vs. 652 g; P < 0.10) from d 21 to 28. Fish oil improved ADG (554 vs. 520 g; P < 0.10) and ADFI (891 vs. 805 g; P < 0.10) from d 14 to 21. On d 14, LPS challenge x diet interactions were observed for IL-1beta (P < 0.10), PGE2 (P < 0.001), and cortisol (P < 0.05) such that these measurements responded to the LPS challenge to a lesser extent (IL-1beta: 93 vs. 114 pg/mL, P < 0.05; PGE2: 536 vs. 1,285 pg/mL, P < 0.001; cortisol: 143 vs. 206 ng/mL, P < 0.05) in pigs receiving the FO diet than in pigs fed the CO diet. In contrast, among LPS-treated pigs, pigs fed the FO diet had higher IGF-I (155 vs. 101 ng/mL; P < 0.10) than those fed the CO diet. On d 21 among LPS-treated pigs, pigs fed FO had lower IL-1beta (70 vs. 84 pg/mL; P < 0.10) and cortisol (153 vs. 205 ng/mL; P < 0.05) than those fed CO. Pigs fed FO had lower PGE2 (331 vs. 444 pg/mL; P < 0.05) and higher IGF-I (202 vs. 171 ng/mL; P < 0.10) compared with those fed CO. Lipopolysaccharide challenge decreased GH (0.27 vs. 0.33 ng/mL; P < 0.05) on d 14, whereas it had no effect on GH on d 21. During both LPS challenge periods, the challenge increased PBLP when these cells were incubated with 8 (1.46 vs. 1.32; P < 0.10) or 16 microg/mL (1.46 vs. 1.30; P < 0.05) of concanavalin A. Fish oil had no effect on PBLP. These results suggest that FO alters the release of proinflammatory cytokines, which might lead to improved pig performance during an immunological challenge.  相似文献

MUC4 and MUC13 genes as important candidate genes for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coil (ETEC) F4 resistance,may play an important role in the process of against ETEC F18 infection in weaned piglets. In this study,ETEC F18-resistant and -sensitive weaned Meishan piglets were used,and the expression levels of MUC4 and MUC13 genes in 11 tissues (heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,stomach,muscle,thymus,lymph nodes,duodenum and jejunum) were determined by quantitative Real-time PCR. The results showed that MUC4 and MUC13 genes were broadly expressed with different expression levels in all the 11 tissues. In the thymus and lymph tissues,the expression of MUC4 gene in resistant piglets was significantly higher than that in sensitive piglets (P<0.05);In the lung tissue,theMUC13 gene expression level in resistant individuals was significantly higher than that in sensitive individuals (P<0.05),and in the intestinal tissues of duodenum and jejunum, the expression level of MUC13 gene was relatively higher in resistant individuals. Thus we speculated that the high expression of MUC4 gene in immune tissues and MUC13 gene in intestinal tissues might improve the immune ability of piglets,protect and lubricate the intestinal tract, and resist ETEC F18 infection.  相似文献

Forty barrows (TR4 x C22) were weaned at 17 d of age (BW = 6.27 +/- 0.30 kg), housed (two pigs/pen) in a thermal-neutral environment (TN; constant 26.7 degrees C), and fed diets with or without 7% (as-fed basis) spray-dried plasma (SDP). On d 7, one pig/ pen was moved into a cold environment (CE; constant 15.6 degrees C). Pigs were fitted with jugular catheters on d 11. On d 12, 16 pigs per environment (eight pigs per dietary treatment) were challenged i.v. with 75 microg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/kg of BW. Blood samples were collected over a 4.5-h period. Pigs were then killed and tissue samples were harvested for messenger RNA (mRNA) analysis. From d 0 to 7, pigs fed SDP diets had a lower gain:feed ratio (G/F) than pigs fed no SDP (533 +/- 14 vs. 585 +/- 17 g/kg; P < 0.03). Pigs housed in the CE consumed more feed and had a lower G/F than pigs housed in TN from d 7 to 11 (P < 0.001). There were no environment x diet interactions from d 7 to 11 (P > 0.78). Baseline concentrations of serum ACTH and cortisol were lower in the TN pigs than in the CE pigs (P < 0.001). Pigs fed diets without SDP had lower serum cortisol concentrations over the 4.5-h period than pigs fed SDP (time x diet, P < 0.001). Serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were highest for pigs consuming SDP in the CE, whereas there were no differences among the other treatments (time x diet x environment, P < 0.02). Pigs housed in the CE had higher serum interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) (P < 0.001) and interleukin-6 (IL-6; P < 0.001) than TN pigs. Pigs fed SDP also had slightly higher serum IL-1beta concentrations (P < 0.10) and higher (P < 0.001) IL-6 concentrations than pigs fed no SDP. Pigs fed SDP had 9% lower liver and 13% lower thymus mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) than pigs that consumed no SDP (P < 0.06). Liver IL-1beta, IL-6, and LPS-binding protein mRNA were higher in the CE than in the TN (P < 0.03, P < 0.001, and P < 0.05; respectively). In addition, spleen TNF-alpha (P < 0.03) and IL-6 (P < 0.01) mRNA levels were higher in the CE than in the TN. Pigs consuming SDP and challenged with LPS responded with elevated serum concentrations of cortisol and cytokines compared with pigs fed diets with no SDP. Housing pigs in a CE increased the baseline concentrations of ACTH and cortisol, and when coupled with an LPS challenge, resulted in elevated serum and tissue mRNA levels of cytokines. Cold stress and feeding SDP during a LPS challenge may result in increased stress and immune responses in young pigs.  相似文献

Two serovars of Salmonella enterica, namely serovar Typhimurium (ST) and serovar Choleraesuis (SC) account for the vast majority of clinical cases of swine salmonellosis worldwide. These serovars are thought to be transmitted among pigs in production settings mainly through fecal-oral routes. Yet, few studies have evaluated effects of these serovars on expression of innate immune targets when presented to pigs via repeated oral dosing in an attempt to model transmission in production settings. Thus, a primary objective of the current experiments was to evaluate expression of Toll-like receptors (TLR) and selected chemoattractive mediators (interleukin 8, IL8; macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF; osteopontin, OPN) in tissues from pigs exposed to ST or SC that had been transformed with kanamycin resistance and green (STG) or red (SCR) fluorescent protein to facilitate isolation from pen fecal samples. In vitro studies confirmed that STG and SCR largely (though not completely) retained their ability to upregulate IL8 and CC chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) in cultured swine jejunal epithelial cells. Transformed bacteria were then fed to pigs in an in vivo study to determine tissue specific effects on mRNA relative expression. Pigs were fed cookie dough inoculated with bacteria on days 0, 3, 7, and 10 with 10(8)CFU STG (n=8) or SCR (n=8), while control (CTL) pigs (n=8) received dough without bacteria. Animals were sacrificed 14 days from the initial bacterial challenge and samples of tonsil, jejunum, ileum, colon, mesenteric lymph node (MLN), spleen, and liver were removed for subsequent RNA isolation. Expression of mRNA in tissues was determined using real-time quantitative PCR and expressed relative to 18S rRNA. Within CTL pigs, when expressed relative to the content in liver, mRNA for all targets demonstrated substantial tissue effects (P<0.001 for all TLR; MIF, and OPN; P<0.05 for IL8). Feeding STG and SCR resulted in significant (P相似文献

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of dietary linseed (rich in n-3 PUFA) on expression of inflammation-related genes and on growth performance of growing-finishing barrows. Two isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets were formulated, one as the basal diet and the other containing 10% linseed. Twenty-four Landrace x Yorkshire barrows weighing 35 +/- 3.7 kg were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups, with 6 pigs per group. During the entire experimental period of 90 d, these 4 groups of pigs were first fed the basal diet and then fed the linseed diet for 0, 30, 60, and 90 d before slaughter, respectively. Pig growth; messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma), IL-1beta0, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha); and plasma concentrations of the 3 proinflammatory cytokines were measured and analyzed. Average daily feed intake did not differ among treatment groups (P > 0.05), but ADG (P < 0.05) and G:F (P < 0.01) responded quadratically to the duration of linseed diet feeding, and pigs in the 60-d treatment group had the greatest ADG and G:F. The mRNA expression of PPARgamma in loin muscle and spleen increased linearly (P < 0.01) with the duration of linseed diet feeding, whereas its expression in adipose tissue was not affected (P = 0.095). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and IL-6 mRNA expression in muscle, adipose, and spleen, as well as serum concentration of TNF-alpha, decreased linearly (P < 0.01) with the duration of linseed diet feeding. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma mRNA abundance was negatively correlated with IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha mRNA abundance both in muscle (R(2) = 0.63, P < 0.001) and in spleen (R(2) = 0.69, P < 0.001), and PPARgamma mRNA expression in spleen (R(2) = 0.59, P < 0.01) and muscle (R(2) = 0.52, P < 0.05) was negatively correlated with serum TNF-alpha concentration. There were also significant quadratic relations between ADG and expression of PPARgamma (P < 0.05) and splenic TNF-alpha (P < 0.05). These data suggest that intake of n-3 PUFA from the linseed diet led to significant decreases in the expression of proinflammatory cytokine genes, which may stimulate growth in growing-finishing barrows, at least in part, through a PPARgamma-dependent mechanism.  相似文献

Using immunohistological techniques, we studied the development over time of B- and T-cell compartments in the lymphoid organs of specific-pathogen-free pigs. Tissue samples were collected at various time-points, starting 2 days before the pigs were born until the pigs were 10 months old. The samples were collected from the spleen, thymus, peripheral lymph node, mesenteric lymph node, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, jejunal Peyer's patch and ileal Peyer's patch. Monoclonal antibodies specific to B- and T-cells were used to identify where the following cells were localized: IgM-B cells (cells positive to surface immunoglobulin), IgM-, IgG- and IgA-containing cells (cells positive to cytoplasmic immunoglobulin), and CD2-, CD4- and CD8-positive cells. The development of the B- and T-cell subpopulations in each organ was analysed. Two days before birth, most organs contained quantities of IgM-B cells. The spleen, lymph nodes, Peyer's patches and, notably, the thymus, contained some immunoglobulin-containing cells (Ig-CC); this finding indicates that pigs have cells that secrete immunoglobulins before birth. Just after birth, the incidence of Ig-CC increased in most organs; first IgM-CC increased, then either IgG- or IgA-CC increased, depending on the organ. T-cell development was observed clearly in spleen and in the lamina propria of the small intestine, in contrast to other organs, in which the T-cell compartments containing various T-cell subpopulations were well developed before birth. Comparison of the incidence of CD4+ and CD8+ cells showed that the CD4:CD8 ratio of these cells in the spleen, lymph nodes, Peyer's patches and small intestine is low, especially in adult pigs, compared with the CD4:CD8 ratio in other species. Weaning had little influence on the incidence of B- and T-cells in lymphoid organs. This study is the first immunohistological survey to describe the development of the major B- and T-cell subpopulations in various lymphoid organs of pigs, and it should be useful for future immunopathological and comparative immunological studies in pigs.  相似文献

Six 1-month-old piglets were intravenously injected with deoxynivalenol (DON) at the concentration of 1 mg/kg body weight, with three pigs each necropsied at 6 and 24 h post-injection (PI) for investigation of hepatotoxicity and immunotoxicity with special attention to apoptotic changes and cytokine mRNA expression. Histopathological examination of the DON-injected pigs revealed systemic apoptosis of lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues and hepatocytes. Apoptosis of lymphocytes and hepatocytes was confirmed by the TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) method and immunohistochemical staining against single-stranded DNA and cleaved caspase-3. The number of TUNEL-positive cells in the thymus and Peyer''s patches of the ileum was increased at 24 h PI compared to 6 h PI, but the peak was at 6 h PI in the liver. The mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the spleen, thymus and mesenteric lymph nodes were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and elevated expression of IL-1β mRNA at 6 h PI and a decrease of IL-18 mRNA at 24 h PI were observed in the spleen. IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expressions increased significantly at 6 h PI in the thymus, but TNF-α decreased at 6 h PI in the mesenteric lymph nodes. These results show the apoptosis of hepatocytes suggesting the hepatotoxic potential of DON, in addition to an immunotoxic effect on the modulation of proinflammatory cytokine genes in lymphoid organs with extensive apoptosis of lymphocytes induced by acute exposure to DON in pigs.  相似文献
