Dietary disodium fumarate supplementation alleviates subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA)-induced liver damage by inhibiting pyroptosis via mitophagy-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in lactating Hu sheep

| description | Liver damage is common in ruminants with subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). Disodium fumarate (DF) could regulate rumen microbial community and neutralize ruminal organic acids. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary DF supplementation on SARA-induced liver damage and investigate the underlying mechanism. The results showed that feeding a high-concentrate diet induced decreased rumen fluid pH and increased ruminal LPS. The rumen fluid pH in the HC group was less than 5.6 at 4 time points, indicating that SARA was successfully induced. The histopathological analysis showed that in the HC group, hemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in liver tissue. Using ELISA kits and biochemical analyzer, we identified that the contents of interleukin 1beta (IL-1β), interleukin 18 (IL-18), caspase-1, and the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in hepatic vein were elevated in the HC group. However, DF supplementation increased rumen fluid pH value, decreased ruminal LPS, attenuated hemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver tissue, and decreased contents of IL-1β, IL-18, caspase-1, AST, and ALT in the hepatic vein. Real-time PCR and western blot analysis displayed that SARA-induced increased expression of pyroptosis-related proteins (GSDMD-NT) was attenuated in the HCDF group. Meanwhile, SARA induced increased expression of mitophagy and inflammasome-related proteins (MAP1LC3-II, PINK1, Parkin, cleaved-caspase-11, cleaved-caspase-1, NLRP3, and ASC) and elevated expression of inflammasome-related genes (NLRP3, CASP1, and ASC), which was reversed by DF supplementation. Moreover, SARA activated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and inhibited the entry of forkhead box A2 (FOXA2) into the nucleus, which was reversed by DF supplementation. Collectively, our data suggest that dietary DF supplementation inhibited hepatocyte pyroptosis by regulating the mitophagy-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and the NF-κB signaling pathway, thus alleviating SARA-induced liver damage in Hu sheep. |
