We investigated the potential ability of quercetin to protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal oxidative stress in broiler chickens and the potential role of the Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) signaling pathway. One-day-old broiler chickens (n = 240) were randomized into four groups: saline-challenged broiler chickens fed a basal diet (Con), LPS-challenged broiler chickens on a basal diet (LPS), and LPS-treated broiler chickens on a basal diet containing either 200 or 500 mg/kg of quercetin (Que200+LPS or Que500+LPS). Quercetin (200 mg/kg) significantly alleviated LPS-induced decreased duodenal, jejunal, and illeal villus height and increased the crypt depth in these regions. Quercetin significantly inhibited LPS-induced jejunal oxidative stress, including downregulated reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels, and it upregulated superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels. Quercetin relieved LPS-induced jejunal mitochondria damage and upregulated mitochondrial DNA copy number-related gene expression, including cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COX1), ATP synthase F0 subunit 6 (ATP6), and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1). Quercetin attenuated the LPS-induced inhibition of Nrf2 activation, translocation, and downstream gene expression, including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD (P) H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1), and manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2). Additionally, quercetin attenuated the LPS-inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), Extracellular Regulated protein Kinases (ERK), and p38MAPK (p38) phosphorylation in the MAPK pathway. Thus, quercetin attenuated LPS-induced oxidative stress in the intestines of broiler chickens via the MAPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
我们研究了槲皮素保护肉鸡免受脂多糖(LPS)诱导的肠道氧化应激的潜在能力以及核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)信号通路的潜在作用。将1日龄的肉鸡(n = 240)随机分为四组:饲喂基础日粮的生理盐水处理肉鸡(对照)、饲喂基础日粮的LPS处理肉鸡(LPS),以及饲喂含200或500 mg/kg槲皮素基础日粮的LPS处理肉鸡(Que200+LPS或Que500+LPS)。槲皮素(200 mg/kg)显著减轻了LPS诱导的十二指肠、空肠和回肠绒毛高度降低,并增加了这些区域的隐窝深度。槲皮素显著抑制LPS诱导的空肠氧化应激,包括下调活性氧(ROS)、丙二醛(MDA)和8-羟基-2'-脱氧鸟苷(8-OHdG)水平,并上调超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)水平。槲皮素减轻了LPS诱导的空肠线粒体损伤,并上调了线粒体DNA拷贝数相关基因的表达,包括细胞色素c氧化酶亚基1(COX1)、ATP合酶F0亚基6(ATP6)和NADH脱氢酶亚基1(ND1)。槲皮素减弱了LPS诱导的Nrf2激活、易位和下游基因表达的抑制,包括血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)、NAD(P)H脱氢酶醌1(NQO1)和锰超氧化物歧化酶(SOD2)。此外,槲皮素减弱了LPS对丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)途径中c-Jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)、细胞外调节蛋白激酶(ERK)和p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38)磷酸化的抑制作用。因此,槲皮素通过MAPK/Nrf2信号通路减轻了LPS诱导的肉鸡肠道氧化应激。
