鼠疫Riemerella(RA)是水禽的重要病原,具有多种血清型,并且每种血清型之间缺乏交叉保护,这导致了世界范围内的持续广泛蔓延,给养鸭业造成了重大的经济损失。因此,预防和抑制RA感染是非常值得关注的。先前的研究已经确定植物乳杆菌上清液(LPS)可以防止病原菌感染。然而,LPS是否抑制RA及其潜在机制尚未阐明。在这项研究中,我们研究了LPS-ZG7对番鸭RA感染的直接和间接作用。结果表明,在pH中和的存在下,LPS-ZG7可以防止RA生长,抑制作用相对稳定,不受热量的影响,酸碱和紫外线(UV)。流式细胞术数据发现LPS-ZG7增加RA膜通透性和细胞内分子渗漏。扫描电子显微镜显示LPS-ZG7破坏了RA膜的完整性并导致RA死亡。此外,定量实时聚合酶链反应(qPCR)分析表明,LPS-ZG7上调粘膜紧密连接蛋白occludin,番鸭的claudin-1和Zo-1,并增加十二指肠粘膜运输通道SGLT-1,PepT1,AQP2,AQP3和AQP10,空肠,和结肠,然后降低了由RA引起的肠通透性和肠屏障破坏。从数据来看,很明显,LPS-ZG7通过增加绒毛高度增强肠粘膜完整性,绒毛高度与隐窝深度的比率和较低的隐窝深度。LPS-ZG7显著降低RA侵袭引起的肠上皮细胞凋亡,增强肠道通透性并导致屏障功能障碍,最终改善宿主的肠道健康,间接导致RA引起的腹泻率和死亡率降低。总的来说,本研究加强了LPS-ZG7通过增加RA膜通透性而直接抑制RA生长,破坏RA膜的完整性,然后间接增强肠粘膜的完整性,改善宿主的肠道健康和介导的肠道抗菌防御。
Riemerella anatipestifer (RA) is an important pathogen of waterfowl, with multiple serotypes and a lack of cross-protection between each serotype, which leads to the continued widespread in the world and causing significant economic losses to the duck industry. Thus, prevention and inhibition of RA infection are of great concern. Previous research has established that Lactobacillus plantarum supernatant (LPS) can prevents the pathogenic bacteria infection. However, LPS whether inhibits RA and underlying mechanisms have not yet been clarified. In this study, we investigated the direct and indirect effects of LPS-ZG7 against RA infection in Muscovy ducks. The results demonstrated that LPS-ZG7 prevented RA growth in the presence of pH-neutralized, and the inhibition was relatively stable and unaffected by heat, acid-base and ultraviolet light (UV). Following flow cytometry data found that LPS-ZG7 increased RA membrane permeability and leakage of intracellular molecules. And scanning electron microscopy revealed LPS-ZG7 damaged the RA membrane integrity and leading to RA death. Furthermore, quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis represented that LPS-ZG7 upregulated mucosal tight junction proteins occludin, claudin-1, and Zo-1 in Muscovy ducks, and increasing mucosal transport channels SGLT-1, PepT1, AQP2, AQP3, and AQP10 in duodenum, jejunum, and colon, then decreased the intestinal permeability and intestinal barrier disruption which were caused from RA. From the data, it is apparent that LPS-ZG7 enhanced intestinal mucosal integrity by rising villus height, villus height-to-crypt depth ratio and lower crypt depth. LPS-ZG7 significantly decreased intestinal epithelia cells apoptosis caused by RA invasion, and enhanced intestinal permeability and contribute to barrier dysfunction, ultimately improving intestinal health of host, indirectly leading to reduce diarrhea rate and mortality caused by RA. Overall, this study strengthens the idea that LPS-ZG7 directly inhibited the RA growth by increased RA membrane permeability and damaged the RA membrane integrity, and then indirectly enhanced intestinal mucosal integrity, improved intestinal health of host and mediated intestinal antimicrobial defense.
