Abstract

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the immune response and intestinal mucosal energy status in piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Twenty-four healthy weaned piglets (11.58 kg±0.26 kg) were randomly allocated into 3 groups (control, LPS and NAC+LPS groups), with 8 replicates in each group. After a 3-day adaptation period, the piglets in each group were fed with basic diet (the NAC+LPS group was supplemented with 500 mg/kg NAC). On the 21st day of the trial, all the piglets were weighed and injected intraperitoneally with LPS (for LPS and NAC+LPS groups, injected with 100 μg/kg BW LPS) or the same amount of normal saline (for control group). 3 hours later, blood samples were collected from the anterior vena cava. Then all piglets were sacrificed, and samples from the small intestinal mucosal, liver and lymph node were collected. Blood cell counts, the level of adenylate in small intestinal mucosal and the relative expression levels of genes were detected. The results showed that:Compared with the control group, the number of white blood cells and neutrophils in the blood was significantly increased (P<0.05), the number of lymphocytes was significantly reduced (P<0.05). AMP level and AMP/ATP ratio in the small intestinal mucosal were increased (P<0.05), and the ATP level was decreased (P<0.05). The relative expression of dsRNA dependent protein kinase R (PKR), interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) and myxovirus resistance protein 1 (MX1) genes in liver and lymph nodes were up-regulated in the LPS group (P<0.05). Compared with the LPS group, the number of white blood cell and neutrophils, the percentage of eosinophils and lymphocytes were decreased (P<0.05), the ileal mucosal AMP level and the AMP/ATP ratio decreased (P<0.05), the relative expression of IFIT1, PKR and MX1 genes in liver were up-regulated (P<0.05), and the relative expression of IFIT1 gene in lymph nodes was down-regulated (P<0.05) in the NAC+LPS group. These results suggested that NAC could alleviate the immune response of piglets and improve the energy state of the intestinal mucosa in LPS-challenged piglets.
