摘要: 旨在研究急性冷应激对绵羊免疫功能和不同组织热休克蛋白70(HSP70)家族基因表达的影响。本研究选取8只健康、体况接近的(12±0.5)月龄小尾寒羊×湖羊杂交F1母羊,单笼饲养于保温舍内(风寒温度(-7.14±2.53)℃),适应7 d。第8天将母羊移置舍外(风寒温度(-27.40±3.12)℃)急性冷应激12 h,采集冷应激前后试验个体血样和组织样。利用ELISA法测定血清免疫指标(细胞因子和免疫球蛋白G含量),通过实时荧光定量PCR法测定不同组织(肝、肾、脾、心、背最长肌和十二指肠)HSP70家族基因(HSPA1A、HSPA6和HSPA8)和热休克转录因子1基因(HSF1)的表达量。结果显示:1)与冷应激前相比,冷应激后试验羊血清肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、白细胞介素-2(IL-2)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6)浓度显著升高(P<0.05);血清白细胞介素-4(IL-4)和免疫球蛋白G(IgG)浓度显著下降(P<0.05)。2)冷应激后,试验羊HSPA1A mRNA表达量在肝、肾、心和背最长肌中显著升高(P<0.05);HSPA6 mRNA表达量在心和背最长肌中显著升高(P<0.05);HSPA8 mRNA表达量在背最长肌中显著升高(P<0.05),在脾和十二指肠中显著下降(P<0.05);HSF1 mRNA表达量在肝、心和背最长肌中显著升高(P<0.05),在脾和十二指肠中显著下降(P<0.05)。在本试验条件下,急性冷应激能抑制绵羊的免疫功能; HSP70家族基因(HSPA1A、HSPA6和HSPA8)在各组织中的表达水平不同,其中HSPA1A对温度更敏感,宜作为绵羊冷应激的生物标记物;肝、心和背最长肌等组织中HSP70家族基因表达量升高可能与其保护组织细胞维持正常产热有关。

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to explore the effect of acute cold stress on immune function and expression of HSP70 family genes in different tissues in sheep. Eight (12±0.5)-month-old healthy female sheep (F1 of Small Tail Han sheep×Hu sheep) were selected and raised separately in cage in heat-preserved sheep house (wind chill temperature:(-7.14±2.53)℃). The adaptation period lasted for 7 d. At the 8th day, female sheep were treated with acute cold stress for 12 h in outdoor (wind chill temperature:(-27.40±3.12)℃), and then blood and tissue samples were collected before and after cold stress. Serum immune indexes (cytokine and immunoglobulin G content), the expression of HSP70 family genes (HSPA1A, HSPA6 and HSPA8) and heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) in different tissues (liver, kidney, spleen, heart, longissimus dorsi muscle and duodenum) were measured by ELISA and RT-PCR method, respectively. The results showed as the follows:1) Compared with before acute cold stress, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-6 increased significantly after acute cold stress(P<0.05), while the serum levels of IL-4 and IgG decreased significantly (P<0.05). 2) The mRNA expression of HSPA1A increased significantly in liver, kidney, heart and longissimus dorsi muscle after acute cold stress(P<0.05). HSPA6 expression level increased significantly in the longissimus dorsi muscle and heart (P<0.05). HSPA8 expression level increased significantly in longissimus dorsi muscle(P<0.05), and decreased significantly in spleen and duodenum(P<0.05). HSF1 expression level increased significantly in liver, heart and longissimus dorsi muscle (P<0.05), and decreased significantly in spleen and duodenum(P<0.05). In this experiment, acute cold stress could inhibit the immune function, and the expression levels of HSP70 family genes (HSPA1A, HSPA6 and HSPA8) were different in different tissues. The HSPA1A was more sensitive to temperature and could be suitable to as a biomarker for cold stress. The increased expression of HSP70 family genes in liver, heart and longissimus dorsi muscle might be related to keeping the normal heat production for tissue cells.
