摘要：
Glässer’s disease, caused by Haemophilus parasuis, is a chronic disease related to an inflammatory immune response. Baicalin exerts important biological functions. In this study, we explored the protective efficacy of treatment with baicalin and the potential mechanism of activation of the MAPK signaling pathway in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells (PAVECs) induced by H. parasuis. H. parasuis stimulated expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products, induced a significant increase in the level of protein kinase-α and protein kinase-δ phosphorylation, and significantly up-regulated ERK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 phosphorylation in PAVECs. H. parasuis also up-regulated the levels of apoptotic genes (Bax, C-myc, and Fasl) and the expression levels of c-Jun and c-Fos, and induced S-phase arrest in PAVECs. However, treatment with baicalin inhibited expression of RAGE, suppressed H. parasuis-induced protein kinase-α and protein kinase-δ phosphorylation, reduced ERK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 phosphorylation, down-regulated apoptotic genes (Bax, C-myc, and Fasl), attenuated phospho-c-Jun production from the extracellular to the nuclei, and reversed S-phase arrest in PAVECs. In conclusion, baicalin treatment inhibited the MAPK signaling pathway, thereby achieving its anti-inflammatory responses, which provides a new strategy to control H. parasuis infection. © The Author(s) 2019.

摘要：
Significance: Hydroxyproline is a structurally and physiologically important imino acid in animals. It is provided from diets and endogenous synthesis, and its conversion into glycine enhances the production of glutathione, DNA, heme, and protein. Furthermore, oxidation of hydroxyproline by hydroxyproline oxidase (OH-POX) plays an important role in cell antioxidative reactions, survival, and homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms whereby hydroxyproline participates in metabolism and cell signaling can improve the nutrition and health of animals and humans. Recent Advances: Hydroxyproline is highly abundant in milk and is utilized for renal synthesis of glycine to support neonatal growth, development, and survival. The oxidation of hydroxyproline by mitochondrial OH-POX generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Enhanced ROS production contributes to the regulation of oxidative defense, apoptosis, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, hypoxic responses, and cell survival in animals. Critical Issues: Although dietary hydroxyproline enters the portal circulation, its utilization by the portal-drained viscera is unknown. Pathways for hydroxyproline metabolism and their regulation at the molecular, cellular, and whole-body levels remain to be defined. Furthermore, the mechanisms responsible for hydroxyproline-derived ROS and related metabolites to induce cell survival or apoptosis are unknown. Future Directions: Interorgan metabolism of hydroxyproline (including synthesis, catabolism, and flux) in animals must be quantified using isotope technologies. Efforts should also be directed toward studying dietary, hormonal, and epigenetic regulation of OH-POX expression at transcriptional and translational levels. Another emerging research need is to understand the roles of cellular redox and signaling networks involving both ROS and Δ 1 -pyrroline-3-hydroxy-5-carboxylate in nutrition, health, and disease. © 2018 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. publishers.

摘要：
Background: Haemophilus parasuis (HPS) is the causative agent of Glässer's disease, characterized by arthritis, fibrinous polyserositis and meningitis, and resulting in worldwide economic losses in the swine industry. Baicalin (BA), a commonly used traditional Chinese medication, has been shown to possess a series of activities, such as anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, whether BA has anti-apoptotic effects following HPS infection is unclear. Here, we investigated the anti-apoptotic effects and mechanisms of BA in HPS-induced apoptosis via the protein kinase C (PKC)-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in piglet's mononuclear phagocytes (PMNP). Results: Our data demonstrated that HPS could induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, arrest the cell cycle and promote apoptosis via the PKC-MAPK signaling pathway in PMNP. Moreover, when BA was administered, we observed a reduction in ROS production, suppression of cleavage of caspase-3 in inducing apoptosis, and inhibition of activation of the PKC-MAPK signaling pathway for down-regulating p-JNK, p-p38, p-ERK, p-PKC-α and PKC-δ in PMNP triggered by HPS. Conclusions: Our data strongly suggest that BA can reverse the apoptosis initiated by HPS through regulating the PKC-MAPK signaling pathway, which represents a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment of HPS infection. © 2019 The Author(s).

摘要：
The gut microbiome has important effects on gastrointestinal diseases. Diarrhea attenuation functions of baicalin (BA) is not clear. Baicalin-aluminum complexes (BBA) were synthesized from BA, but the BBA's efficacy on the diarrhea of piglets and the gut microbiomes have not been explored and the mechanism remains unclear. This study has explored whether BBA could modulate the composition of the gut microbiomes of piglets during diarrhea. The results showed that the diarrhea rate reduced significantly after treatment with BBA. BBA altered the overall structure of the gut microbiomes. In addition, the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis indicated that the functional differentially expressed genes, which were involved in the top 30 GO enrichments, were associated with hydrogenase (acceptor) activity, nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase activity, and isocitrate lyase activity, belong to the molecular function. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that flagellar assembly, bacterial chemotaxis, lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC) transporters, biosynthesis of amino acids, and phosphotransferase system (PTS) were the most enriched during BBA treatment process. Taken together, our results first demonstrated that BBA treatment could modulate the gut microbiomes composition of piglets with diarrhea, which may provide new potential insights on the mechanisms of gut microbiomes associated underlying the antimicrobial efficacy of BBA.

摘要：
Here, the potential mechanisms of the protective effects of fish oil against LPS-induced liver injury in a piglet model were investigated by using RNA sequencing. Twenty-four piglets were used in a 2 × 2 factorial design, and the main factors included diet (5% corn oil or 5% fish oil) and immunological challenge (LPS or saline, on d 19). All piglets were slaughtered at 4 h after challenge, and liver samples were collected. Fish oil improved liver morphology and reduced TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 productions after LPS challenge. RNA sequencing analysis showed fish oil had significant effect on the expressions of genes involved in immune response during LPS-induced inflammation. Selected gene expression changes were validated using quantitative RT-PCR. Fish oil reduced the expressions of pro-inflammatory genes IL1R1, IL1RAP, CEBPB and CRP, and increased that of anti-inflammatory genes IL-18BP, NFKBIA, IFIT1, IFIT2 and ATF3. Moreover, fish oil restored the expressions of some lipid metabolism-related genes, such as ACAA1, ACACA, ACADS and ACADM, which were only decreased in pigs fed a corn oil diet after LPS challenge. Our RNA sequencing reveals novel gene-nutrient interactions following fish oil supplementation and evoked inflammation, which add to the current understanding of the benefits of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids against liver injury. © The Author(s) 2018.

摘要：
Glutathione (GSH) forms conjugates with polyamines in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. There is also evidence suggesting cross-talk between GSH and polyamines to regulate cellular homeostasis and function, particularly under the conditions of oxidative stress. Because of its versatile roles in cell metabolism and function, a number of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods have been developed for glutathione analysis. Here, we describe our rapid and sensitive method for the analysis of GSH and the oxidized form of glutathione (GS-SG) in animal tissues and cells by HPLC involving pre-column derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA). OPA reacts very rapidly (within 1 min) with S-carboxymethylglutathione at room temperatures (e.g., 20–25 °C) in an autosampler, and their derivatives are immediately injected into the HPLC column without any need for extraction. This method requires two simple steps (a total of 15 min) before samples are loaded into the autosampler: (a) the conversion of GS-SG into GSH by 2-mercaptoethanol; and (b) the oxidation of GSH by iodoacetic acid to yield S-carboxymethyl-glutathione. The autosampler is programmed to mix S-carboxymethyl-glutathione with OPA for 1 min to generate a highly fluorescent derivative for HPLC separation and detection (excitation wavelength 340 nm and emission wavelength 450 nm). The detection limit for GSH and GS-SG is 15 pmol/ml or 375 fmol/ injection. The total time for chromatographic separation (including column regeneration) is 16 min for each sample. Our routine HPLC technique is applicable for analyses of cysteine and cystine, as well as polyamines and GSH-polyamine conjugates in biological samples. © Springer Science+Business Media LLC 2018.

摘要：
Haemophilus parasuis (H. parasuis) can cause vascular inflammatory injury, but the molecular basis of this effect remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-oxidant agent, baicalin, on the nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway in pig primary aortic vascular endothelial cells. Activation of the NF-kappa B and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway was induced in H. parasuis-infected cells. However, baicalin reduced the production of reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, and activation of the NF-kappa B and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway in infected cells. These results revealed that baicalin can inhibit H. parasuis-induced inflammatory responses in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells, and may thus offer a novel strategy for controlling and treating H. parasuis infection. Furthermore, the results suggest that piglet primary aortic vascular endothelial cells may provide an experimental model for future studies of H. parasuis infection.

摘要：
This study was conducted to envaluate whether glycine could alleviate Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal injury by regulating intestinal epithelial energy status, protein synthesis, and inflammatory response via AMPK, mTOR, TLR4, and NOD signaling pathways. A total of 24 weanling piglets were randomly allotted to 1 of 4 treatments: (1) non-challenged control; (2) LPS-challenged control; (3) LPS + 1% glycine; (4) LPS + 2% glycine. After 28 days feeding, piglets were injected intraperitoneally with saline or LPS. The pigs were slaughtered and intestinal samples were collected at 4 h postinjection. The mRNA expression of key genes in these signaling pathways was measured by real-time PCR. The protein abundance was measured by Western blot analysis. Supplementation with glycine increased jejunal villus height/crypt depth ratio. Glycine also increased the jejunal and ileal protein content, RNA/DNA ratio, and jejunal protein/DNA ratio. The activities of citroyl synthetase in ileum, and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex in jejunum, were increased in the piglets fed diets supplemented with glycine. In addition, glycine decreased the jejunal and ileal phosphorylation of AMPKα, and increased ileal phosphorylation of mTOR. Furthermore, glycine downregulated the mRNA expression of key genes in inflammatory signaling. Meanwhile, glycine increased the mRNA expression of negative regulators of inflammatory signaling. These results indicate that glycine supplementation could improve energy status and protein synthesis by regulating AMPK and mTOR signaling pathways, and relieve inflammation by inhibiting of TLR4 and NOD signaling pathways to alleviate intestinal injury in LPS-challenged piglets. © 2018 by the authors.

摘要：
The aim of the present study was to construct a recombinant strain by using the probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus expressing the epidermal growth factor (EGF), which can improve intestinal morphology, and to test its effect on the intestinal histology in LPS (lipopolysaccharide)-challenged mice. The EGF gene was cloned into the shuttle vector pSET4s and then transformed into the L. acidophilus MG6243 strain by electroporation. Two recombinant strains were confirmed by SDS-PAGE and named ΔMG6243-1 and ΔMG6243-2. Sixty mice were randomly assigned to six treatments: 1) non-challenged control, 2) LPS-challenged control, 3) LPS-challenged + 200 μl MG6243, 4) LPS-challenged + 200 μl ΔMG6243-1, 5) LPS-challenged + 200 μl ΔMG6243-1 + inducer IPTG, and 6) LPS-challenged + 200 μl ΔMG6243-2. There were ten replicates for each treatment, and each replicate had one mouse. On d 15, the LPS-challenged mice were injected intraperitoneally with LPS at 10 mg/kg BW, while the non-challenged mice were injected with 0.9% NaCl solution. Three hours after the challenge, all mice were killed. Results showed that both ΔMG6243-1 and ΔMG6243-2 could increase villus height in the duodenum, ileum and jejunum (P < 0.05). In addition, the recombinant L. acidophilus decreased the crypt depth in the duodenum and ileum (P < 0.05). These results indicated that the recombinant L. acidophilus could effectively improve the intestinal histology in LPS-challenged mice. © 2018 Chulalongkorn University Printing House.

摘要：
Butyrate can modulate the immune response and energy expenditure of animals and enhance intestinal health. The present study investigated changes in the intestinal microbiota composition and serum metabolites of young broilers in response to 3,000 ppm butyrate in the form of butyrate glycerides (BG) via pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The dietary treatment did not affect the alpha diversity of intestinal microbiota, but altered its composition. Thirty-nine key operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in differentiating cecal microbiota community structures between BG treated and untreated chickens were also identified. Bifidobacterium was, in particular, affected by the dietary treatment significantly, showing an increase in not only the abundance (approximately 3 fold, P </= 0.05) but also the species diversity. The (NMR)-based analysis revealed an increase in serum concentrations of alanine, low-density and very low-density lipoproteins, and lipids (P </= 0.05) by BG. More interestingly, the dietary treatment also boosted (P </= 0.05) serum concentrations of bacterial metabolites, including choline, glycerophosphorylcholine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, trimethylamine-N-oxide, lactate, and succinate. In conclusion, the data suggest the modulation of intestinal microbiota and serum metabolites by BG dietary treatment and potential contribution of intestinal bacteria to lipid metabolism/energy homeostasis in broilers.

摘要：
Scope Flaxseed oil is a rich source of α‐linolenic acid (ALA), which is the precursor of the long‐chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This study investigates the protective effect of flaxseed oil against intestinal injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Materials and results Twenty‐four weaned pigs were used in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with dietary treatment (5% corn oil vs 5% flaxseed oil) and LPS challenge (saline vs LPS). On day 21 of the experiment, pigs were administrated with LPS or saline. At 2 h and 4 h post‐administration, blood samples were collected. After the blood harvest at 4 h, all piglets were slaughtered and intestinal samples were collected. Flaxseed oil supplementation led to the enrichment of ALA, EPA, and total n‐3 PUFAs in intestine. Flaxseed oil improved intestinal morphology, jejunal lactase activity, and claudin‐1 protein expression. Flaxseed oil downregulated the mRNA expression of intestinal necroptotic signals. Flaxseed oil also downregulated the mRNA expression of intestinal toll‐like receptors 4 (TLR4) and its downstream signals myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor kappa B (NF−κB), and nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain proteins 1, 2 (NOD1, NOD2) and its adapter molecule, receptor‐interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2). Conclusion These results suggest that dietary addition of flaxseed oil enhances intestinal integrity and barrier function, which is involved in modulating necroptosis and TLR4/NOD signaling pathways. The protective effect of flaxseed oil against intestinal injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is investigated. The results indicate that flaxseed oil supplementation improves intestinal integrity and barrier function, which is involved in modulating the necroptosis and TLR4/NOD signaling pathway.

摘要：
Trihexanoin is a short-chain triglyceride (SCT). Many studies have reported that SCTs play important roles in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial structure and function. The present work was to investigate the effects of trihexanoin on growth performance, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, as well as intestinal morphology and function in weaned piglets. Twenty weaned piglets (21 ± 2 d) were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: The control group (basal diet supplemented with 0.5% soya oil); the TH group (basal diet supplemented with 0.5% trihexanoin). Dietary trihexanoin supplementation significantly reduced diarrhea rate; increased the concentrations of LDL, HDL and total protein in plasma; decreased cholesterol concentrations and glutamyl transpeptidase activity in plasma; improved intestinal morphologic structure; altered the mRNA levels and abundances of proteins related to glycogen and fat metabolism, mucosal barrier function, antioxidant capacity and water transport capacity; and altered the community of intestinal microflora. These results indicate that dietary trihexanoin supplementation could reduce diarrhea, regulate carbohydrate and fat metabolism, exert beneficial effects on the intestinal mucosal barrier, protect the intestinal mucosa from injuries, improve intestinal transport and absorption, and enhance antioxidant capacity. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 0.5% trihexanoin improves the intestinal function and health of weaned piglets. © 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

摘要：
l-Glutamate (Glu) has traditionally not been considered as a nutrient needed in diets for humans and other animals (including swine) due to the unsubstantiated assumption that animals can synthesize sufficient amounts of Glu to meet their needs. The lack of knowledge about Glu nutrition has contributed to suboptimal efficiency of global livestock production. Over the past 25 years, there has been growing interest in Glu metabolism in the pig, which is an agriculturally important species and also a useful model for studying human biology. Because of analytical advances in its analysis, Glu is now known to be a highly abundant free amino acid in milk and intracellular fluid, a major constituent of food and tissue proteins, and a key regulator of gene expression, cell signaling, and anti-oxidative reactions. Emerging evidence shows that dietary supplementation with 2% Glu maintains gut health and prevents intestinal dysfunction in weanling piglets, while enhancing their growth performance and survival. In addition, the inclusion of 2% Glu is required for dietary arginine to maximize the growth performance and feed efficiency in growing pigs, whereas dietary supplementation with 2% Glu reduces the loss of skeletal muscle mass in endotoxin-challenged pigs. Furthermore, supplementing 2% Glu to a corn- and soybean-meal-based diet promotes milk production by lactating sows. Thus, an adequate amount of dietary Glu as a quantitatively major nutrient is necessary to support maximum growth, development, and production performance of swine. These results also have important implications for improving the nutrition and health of humans and other animals.
