Oxidative stress impairs the meat quality of broiler by damaging mitochondrial function, affecting calcium metabolism and leading to ferroptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This work was conducted to investigate the effects of oxidative stress on meat quality, mitochondrial function, calcium metabolism and ferroptosis of broilers.

Methods

In this study, a total of 144 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks were divided into 3 groups (control group, saline group, and hydrogen peroxide [H2O2] group) with 6 replicates of 8 broilers each. The study lasted for 42 d. The broilers in the saline and H2O2 groups were intraperitoneally injected with 0.75% saline and 10.0% H2O2 on the 16th and 37th day of the experimental period respectively, the injection volumes were 1.0 mL/kg of broiler body weight. On the 42nd day of the experimental period, two chicks were randomly selected from each cage, a total of thirty-six chicks were stunned by electric shock and slaughtered to collect breast muscle samples.

Results

The H2O2 exposure reduced pH value, increased drip loss and shear force of breast meat (p<0.05), impaired the ultrastructure and function of mitochondria. The H2O2 exposure damaged the antioxidant system in mitochondria, excessive reactive oxygen species carbonylation modified calcium channels on mitochondria, which impaired the activities of key enzymes on calcium channel, resulted in the increased calcium concentration in cytoplasm and mitochondria (p<0.05). In addition, the H2O2 exposure increased the iron content and lipid peroxidation (p<0.05), which induced ferroptosis.

Conclusion

Oxidative stress could impair meat quality by causing mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in calcium metabolism disorder and ferroptosis.

Project description:Poultry meat has a high polyunsaturated fatty acids content, making it vulnerable to oxidative stress. Mitophagy participates in the regulation of oxidative stress and the nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family as well as pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P8 (P8) is a probiotic strain with an antioxidant capacity. In the present study, we investigated the effects of P8 on oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, mitophagy, and NLRP3 inflammasome in the breast meat of oxidatively stressed broilers. Four hundred 1-day-old male broilers were assigned to a 2 × 2 factorial design with 2 P8 levels (0 or 1 × 108 cfu/g), either with or without dexamethasone (DEX) injection, for a 21-day experimental period. DEX was injected intraperitoneally once daily from d 16 to 21. The breast meat was collected on d 21. The results showed that P8 supplementation decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and activated the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway in DEX-injected broilers. Moreover, P8 supplementation downregulated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and increased the expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), mitochondrial fusion protein 1 (Mfn1), and optic atrophy protein 1 (OPA1) in DEX-treated broilers. In addition, the decreased mitophagy level in DEX-treated broilers was elevated with P8 supplementation, as reflected by the increased gene expression of autophagy-related gene 5 (ATG5), Bcl-2-interacting protein (Becline-1), Parkin, PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), light chain 3 II (LC3II)/LC31, and the protein expression of Parkin as well as decreased p62 expression. In addition, P8 supplementation inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation by decreasing the transcription of NLRP3, IL-18, cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-1 (Caspase-1), and the expression of NLRP3 and IL-18 in DEX-treated broilers. In conclusion, dietary P8 supplementation alleviates oxidative stress, improves mitophagy, and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the breast meat of oxidatively stressed broilers.
