本试验旨在考察饲粮添加精氨酸(arginine,Arg)对免疫应激仔猪生长性能和肠道组织细胞膜外Toll样受体(TLR2、TLR4、TLR5、TLR6)基因表达的影响。选用(24±1)日龄的断奶、平均体重(7.19±0.63)kg的杜洛克×长白×大白公猪20头,随机分为4个处理,分别为饲喂基础饲粮+注射生理盐水(对照组)、饲喂基础饲粮+注射沙门氏杆菌活疫苗(S.C500)(S.C500组)、饲喂基础饲粮添加0.5%Arg+注射S.C500(0.5%Arg组)和饲喂基础饲粮添加1.0%Arg+注射S.C500(1.0%Arg组),每个处理5个重复,每个重复1头仔猪。应激处理于第8天实施,肌肉注射S.C500 4 mL。试验期17 d。第8(免疫应激前)、9、11、18天采集血样测定血清沙门氏菌抗体水平和IL-6浓度,第18天仔猪屠宰采集空肠和回肠组织样品,测定Toll样受体mRNA表达量。结果表明:与对照组相比,仔猪肌肉注射S.C500不同程度地降低了平均日增重(ADG)(P〈0.10)和平均日采食量(ADFI)(P〈0.05),显著增加了在第9、11和18天血清IL-6浓度(P〈0.05),同时显著上调了空肠和回肠组织中TLR4和TLR5 mRNA表达量(P〈0.05);添加Arg(0.5%和1.0%)能够缓减疫苗注射导致的以上抑制的效应,显著抑制了仔猪血清IL-6浓度、空肠和回肠TLR4和TLR5 mRNA表达量的上调(P〈0.05)。结果提示,饲粮添加Arg能显著减缓因S.C500注射引起的断奶仔猪肠道TLR4和TLR5基因的过度表达、血清IL-6浓度的升高,从而缓解免疫应激对仔猪的损伤。
This trial was conducted to study the effect of arginine(Arg) supplementation on growth performance and genes expression of cell-surface toll-like receptors(TLR2,TLR4,TLR5 and TLR6) in intestinal tissues of weaned piglets under immune stress.Twenty male weaned piglets [(Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire),(24±1) days of age,average body weight of(7.19±0.63) kg] were randomly assigned to 4 treatments with 5 replicates in each treatment and 1 piglet per replicate.Piglets were fed basal diet+injected sterile saline(control group),fed basal diet+injected live vaccine of Salmonella choleraesuis 500(S.C500)(S.C500 group),fed basal diet supplemented with 0.5% Arg+injected S.C500(0.5% Arg group),and fed basal diet supplemented with 1.0% Arg+injected S.C500(1.0% Arg group),respectively.The injection of 4 mL S.C500 or sterile saline was carried out on day 8.The trial lasted for 17 d.Blood samples were collected to determine serum Salmonella antibody level and interleukin-6(IL-6) concentration on day 8(before injection),day 9,day 11 and day 18.Piglets were slaughtered and jejunum and ileum tissue samples were collected for evaluation of mRNA expression levels of toll-like receptors on day 18.The results showed as follows: compared with the control group,injection of S.C500 decreased the ADG(P0.10) and ADFI(P0.05) of piglets to a different extent,significantly increased serum IL-6 concentration on day 9,day 11 and day 18(P0.05),as well as mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and TLR5 in jejunum and ileum tissue(P0.05);Arg supplementation(0.5% and 1.0%) alleviated inhibitive effects induced by S.C500 challenge,decreased serum IL-6 concentration,and inhibited mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and TLR5 in jejunum and ileum tissue(P0.05).These results indicate that Arg supplementation can alleviate the over-expression of TLR4 and TLR5 mRNA in intestinal tissues and the excessive production of serum IL-6 induced by S.C500 challenge,which are beneficial to alleviat
