Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of glucagon-like peptide-2(GLP-2) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the gene expression of tight junction in piglets jejunum epithelial IPEC-J2 cells and to deeply discuss the possible mechanism of GLP-2 regulating the expression of intestinal TJ gene of the piglet.Trial 1,single factor design was adopted and 4 treatments(control,GLP-2,LPS,LPS+GLP-2) were used to test the effect of GLP-2 and LPS on the mRNA expression of OccludinClaudin-1 and ZO-1 in IPEC-J2 cells.The results showed that:100 nmol•L-1 GLP-2 could improve cellular morphology and significantly increase the expression level of OccludinClaudin-1 and ZO-1 mRNA in IPEC-J2 cell (P<0.01);100 μg•mL-1  LPS could significantly destroy cellular morphology and significantly reduce the mRNA expression of TJ in IPEC-J2 cells (P<0.01).LPS with 100 nmol•L-1 GLP-2 could improve cellular morphology and significantly increase the expression of OccludinClaudin-1 and ZO-1 mRNA in IPEC-J2 cell (P<0.01) for 46.3%,65.1% and 30.3%,respectively.Trial 2,PI3K specific inhibitor,Wortmannin (Wort) and LY294002 (LY),were added to investigate whether GLP-2 modulates TJ’s mRNA expression in IPEC-J2 cells through PI3K-Akt-mTOR signal transduction pathway.Four treatments(control,GLP-2,GLP-2+Wort,GLP-2+LY) were designed.The results showed that:100 nmol•L-1 GLP-2 with 10 nmol•L-1 Wort could significantly decrease the expression of AktmTOROccludinClaudin-1 and ZO-1 mRNA in IPEC-J2 cells (P<0.01) for 46.9%,50.5%,38.1%,49.6% and 18.9%,respectively;GLP-2 with LY could significantly decrease the expression of AktmTOROccludinClaudin-1 and ZO-1 mRNA in IPEC-J2 cells (P<0.01) for 67.2%,70.8%,49.6%,60.9% and 25.8%,respectively.In summary,the results showed that GLP-2 can effectively inhibit the damnification of TJ mRNA expression by LPS.GLP-2 may modulate TJ’s mRNA expression through PI3K-Akt-mTOR signal transduction pathway in IPEC-J2 cells.
