The study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary stevioside (STE) supplementation on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal mucosal damage of broiler chickens. A total of 192 one-day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatments: (1) basal diet (CON); (2) basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg stevioside (STE);(3) basal diet + LPS-challenge (LPS); (4) basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg stevioside + LPS-challenge (LPS + STE). LPS-challenged groups received an intraperitoneal injection of LPS at 17, 19 and 21 d, whereas the CON and STE groups received a saline injection. The results showed that dietary STE supplementation normalized LPS-induced changes in protein expression of p-NF-κB and p-IκBα, mRNA expression of inflammatory genes (TLR4, NF-κB, and IFN-γ), tight junction-related genes (CLDN2, OCLN, and ZO-1), and antioxidant genes (Nrf2 and HO-1). LPS-induced decreases in serum diamine oxidase (DAO) level, villus height-to-crypt depth ratio, apoptotic index, and protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were reversed with dietary STE supplementation. Additionally, STE supplementation ameliorated the redox damage by reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) content and increasing total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and antioxidant enzyme activity. In conclusion, dietary stevioside supplementation could alleviate LPS-induced intestinal mucosal damage through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in broiler chickens.Antioxidants 2019, 8, 575 2 of 20 and oxidative status of the intestine in broiler chickens [7][8][9]. Thus, LPS has been widely applied to establish a model of intestinal mucosal damage in broiler chickens [2,[7][8][9][10]. It is necessary to explore feed additives with therapeutic potential for disrupted intestinal homeostasis of LPS-challenged in broilers.Stevioside (STE) is a natural diterpenoid glycoside extracted from the Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), which has been proven to be safe in the food industry [11]. A previous study has suggested that STE exerts no harmful effects in the chicken diet with a dose of 667 mg/kg [12]. Despite STE being 250−300 times sweeter than sucrose, it has several nutritional and medical activities such as anti-hyperglycaemic [13], anti-hypertensive [14], and anti-tumor activities [15]. Furthermore, several studies have shown that STE exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects both in vivo and in vitro [11,14,16]. In rats, STE could prevent liver inflammation through antioxidant activity by activating Nrf2 and anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing NF-κB signaling [11]. In a human colonic cell line, steviol (a derivative of STE) suppressed the IL-8 release induced by TNF-α, and reduced the protein expression of NF-κB [17]. STE could also attenuate the LPS-induced synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines by regulating IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathway [16]. In mice, STE promoted macrophage function and increased humoral immune response [18]. STE treatment enhanced antioxidant defense in both the adi...

“…Claudins, occludin, and zonula occludens (ZO) are common tight junctional proteins. In most cases, probiotics have shown enhanced effects on TJs in vivo and in vitro [27,28]; our findings demonstrated the protective ability of Ba on occludin mRNA level, although Ba decreased the expression of ZO-1, H 2 O 2 and Ba pretreatment group showed no effect on ZO-1. There are many evidences for the role of probiotics on TJs but a limited number of studies report the impact of oxidative stress on TJs.…”

Probiotics have always been considered as a supplementary therapy for many diseases especially gut disorders. The absorption and barrier function of the gut play a vital role in the maintenance of body homeostasis. This study was to investigate the protective effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SC06 (Ba) on H 2 O 2-induced oxidative stress on intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-1) based on the level of gene expression. We demonstrated that Ba was a safe probiotic strain in the first place. Results showed that treatment with H 2 O 2 significantly increased the mRNA expression of absorptive transporters glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), Ala/Ser/Cys/Thr transporter 1 (ASCT1), and ASCT2 compared with the control group. Meanwhile, oxidative stress induced a significant improvement in the mRNA expression of occludin (OCLN) and caspase-3, and remarkably inhibited the expression of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) or B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), respectively. Pretreatment with Ba dramatically reversed the disturbance induced by oxidative stress on the mRNA expression of ASCT1, ASCT2, and OCLN, which also significantly prevented H 2 O 2-inhibited LAT1 and Bcl-2 mRNA expression. However, Ba failed to exert any significant protective effect on GLUT2 and caspase-3 mRNA expression. We concluded that pretreatment with Ba could alleviate the damage caused by oxidative stress to a certain extent and conferred a protective effect to the intestine.

“…It is reported that B. subtilis vegetative cells are present in the gastrointestinal tracts of birds as normal residents (75). However, a decrease in the relative abundance of Bacilli in the probiotic-fed groups compared to the control, which was observed in the developer and layer phases, may suggest a feedback of lessened potential pathogens after its supplementation (72,76), possibly creating a conducive environment in modifying the structure of the cecal microbiome. On the other hand, probiotics containing dead organisms have also been shown to express beneficial effects (77,78), such as by inducing specific immune responses based on the ability of immune cells to recognize individual bacterial cell structural components (79).…”

This study investigated the efficacy of a single strain of Bacillus subtilis (SSB) in modulating the composition of cecal microbiota and its link to the concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and apparent retention (AR) of components. A total of 720, 4-week-old Shaver White chicks were allotted to control (CON), 1.1Eϩ08 (low, LSSB), 2.2Eϩ08 (medium, MSSB), or 1.1Eϩ09 (high, HSSB) CFU/kg of diet groups. At grower (10-week), developer (16-week), and laying (28-week) phases, excreta and cecal digesta samples were taken for AR, microbial, and SCFA analyses. Microbial analysis involved high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable regions of 16S rRNA gene. Bacterial diversity decreased (P Ͻ 0.05) at the developer phase as the SSB dose increased; however, a distinct clustering pattern (P Ͻ 0.05) of bacterial community was noted. Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium were differentially enriched in the developer for SSB-fed compared to CON-fed birds. Although no differences in microbial diversity were detected in grower and layer phases, different species of Clostridium (XVIII, XIVa, IV, and XIVb)-major butyrate producers-were identified in all phases, with stronger effect sizes for SSB-fed compared to CON-fed birds. Isobutyric acid was elevated in dose response (P ϭ 0.034) in layer phase. In addition, the relative abundances of Alistipes, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium were positively correlated (P Ͻ 0.05), with AR of most components for SSB-fed birds in the pullet phase. The results suggested that supplementing chickens' diet with B. subtilis DSM 29784 may selectively enrich beneficial bacterial communities, which in turn are critical in promoting the growth and performance of hens. IMPORTANCE In egg-laying chickens, the trend in the move away from the cage to alternative housing systems and restriction in antimicrobial use requires alternative approaches to maintain health and prevent diseases. There is increased research and commercial interest toward alternative gut health solutions while improving the performance and product safety in poultry production systems. One such approach, in recognition of the importance of the gut microbial community, is the use of microbes as feed supplements (such as probiotics). Unlike meat-type chickens, studies assessing the efficacy of such microbial supplements are limited for egg-laying chickens. Thus, by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the hen microbiota in response to various levels of B. subtilis DSM 29784 during the pullet phase (grower and developer) and the layer phase, the present study demonstrates the importance of direct-fed microbes in modulating gut microbiome, which may relate to improved performance efficiency in the pullet and layer phases.Citation Neijat M, Habtewold J, Shirley RB, Welsher A, Barton J, Thiery P, Kiarie E. 2019.
