Abstract

Early-life thermal conditioning (TC) in broiler chickens has long-lasting impacts on later life. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism by which TC impacts the hepatic expression heat shock proteins (hsps), antioxidant enzymes, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and DNA methyltransferases genes in broiler chicks at five weeks of age. Two hundred forty one-day-old male broiler chicks of Cobb 500 were allocated into four equal experimental groups. The first group was under the optimal brooding conditions (control), whereas the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups were exposed to TC at 39 ± 1 °C for six hours on the third-, fifth- or seventh-day post-hatch, respectively. At 35 days of age, all chicks of four experimental groups were subjected to heat challenge by exposure to 36 ± 1 °C for six hours. Results showed that broilers exposed to TC on the fifth-day post-hatch when exposed to acute heat stress at five weeks of age had the lowest plasma CORT level, the lowest expression (p < .05) for NOX4, GR, SOD, SOD2, and CAT among all groups. The same trend was observed for hsp70, hsp90A, hsp90B, hsp60, and hspA9. In conclusion, early thermal conditioning on the fifth-day post-hatch may improve thermotolerance by decreasing NOX4 and GR expressions, leading to reduced heat shock proteins and antioxidant enzyme gene expression subsequently reduced oxidative stress.

  • Highlights
  • Thermal conditioning is a promising approach to mitigate heat stress in broiler chicks.

  • The optimal age to perform thermal conditioning is a controversial issue.

  • Heat shock proteins gene expression and plasma corticosterone are good indicators for thermotolerance acquisition.

  • Thermal conditioning on the fifth-day post-hatch reduced oxidative stress at five weeks of age.

DNA甲基转移酶,热休克蛋白,抗氧化酶和NADPH 4的肝脏表达对肉仔鸡早期生命调节的影响

摘要

肉鸡的早期生命调节(TC)对以后的生命具有长期影响。因此,本研究旨在阐明TC影响五周龄肉鸡肝脏表达热休克蛋白(hsps),抗氧化酶,NADPH氧化酶4(NOX4),糖皮质激素受体(GR)和DNA甲基转移酶基因的分子机制。年龄。将240只一天大的Cobb 500雄性肉鸡雏鸡分为四个相等的实验组。第一组是最佳的育雏条件(对照)下,而2,3和4分别在孵化后第三天,第五天或第七天,将各组分别于39±1°C的温度下暴露6小时。在35天大时,四个实验组的所有小鸡都通过暴露于36±1°C六个小时而受到热刺激。结果显示,在孵化后第五天暴露于五周龄的急性热应激时暴露于TC的肉鸡的血浆CORT水平最低 ,NOX4,GR,SODSOD2的最低表达(p <.05)。,以及所有组中的CAT。对于hsp70,hsp90A,hsp90Bhsp60hspA9,观察到相同的趋势。总之,在孵化后第五天进行早期热调节可以通过降低NOX4GR表达来提高耐热性,从而导致热休克蛋白和抗氧化酶基因表达降低,进而降低氧化应激。

  • 强调
  • 热调节是减轻肉鸡热应激的一种有前途的方法。

  • 进行热调节的最佳年龄是一个有争议的问题。

  • 热休克蛋白基因表达和血浆皮质酮是耐热性获得的良好指标。

  • 孵化后第五天进行热调节可降低五周龄的氧化应激。
