The protective effect of Luteolin on chicken spleen lymphocytes from ammonia poisoning through mitochondria and balancing energy metabolism disorders

ABSTRACT: Ammonia poses a significant challenge in the contemporary intensive breeding industry, resulting in substantial economic losses. Despite this, there is a dearth of research investigating efficacious strategies to prevent ammonia poisoning in poultry. Consequently, the objective of this stu...

description ABSTRACT: Ammonia poses a significant challenge in the contemporary intensive breeding industry, resulting in substantial economic losses. Despite this, there is a dearth of research investigating efficacious strategies to prevent ammonia poisoning in poultry. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which Luteolin (Lut) safeguards mitochondria and restores equilibrium to energy metabolism disorders, thereby shielding chicken spleen lymphocytes from the detrimental effects of ammonia poisoning. Chicken spleen lymphocytes were categorized into 3 distinct groups: the control group, the ammonia group (with the addition of 1 mmol/L of ammonium chloride), and the Lut group (with the treatment of 0.5 μg/mL of Lut for 12 h followed by the addition of 1 mmol/L of ammonium chloride). These groups were then cultured for a duration of 24 h. To investigate the potential protective effect of Lut on lymphocytes exposed to ammonia, various techniques were employed, including CCK-8 analysis, ultrastructural observation, reagent kit methodology, fluorescence microscopy, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The findings indicate that Lut has the potential to mitigate the morphological damage of mitochondria caused by ammonia poisoning. Additionally, it can counteract the decline in mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP content, and ATPase activities (specifically Na+/K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and Ca/Mg2+-ATPase) following exposure to ammonia in lymphocytes. Lut also has the ability to regulate the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial fusion (Opa1, Mfn1, and Mfn2) and division (Drp1 and Mff) in spleen lymphocytes after ammonia exposure. This regulation leads to a balanced energy metabolism (HK1, HK2, LDHA, LDHB, PFK, PK, SDHB, and ACO2) and provides protection against ammonia poisoning.
