Apoptotic Changes, Oxidative Stress and Immunomodulatory Effects in the Liver of Japanese Seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) Induced by Ammonia-Nitrogen Stress during Keep-Live Transport
This study investigated the effects of NH3-N on antioxidant responses, histoarchitecture, and immunity of Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) during keep-live transport. The findings suggest that NH3-N stress transport alters the transcription of P53, Caspase 9, Bcl2, Caspase 3 and Bax genes, demonstrating that NH3-N stress can trigger the apoptotic pathway of P53-Bax-Bcl2 and Caspase and induce apoptosis. NH3-N stress transport also evoked transcriptional upregulation of inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3), nuclear factor kappa β (NF-κB), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β)) and increased complement C3, C4, lysozyme (LZM) and immunoglobulin (IgM) levels, activating the innate immunological system during keep-live transport. In addition, NH3-N stress transport altered changes in the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-related enzymes, and heat shock proteins 70 and 90 in the liver, indicating that the antioxidant system and Hsp protected the cells from NH3-N-induced oxidative stress. When excess ROS were not removed, they caused the body to respond with immunological and inflammatory responses, as well as apoptosis and tissue damage. This helps towards understanding the effect of NH3-N levels on sea bass during keep-live transport.
