Effects of Probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri and Clostridium butyricum on the Expression of Toll-like Receptors, Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Cytokines, and Antimicrobial Peptides in Broiler Chick Intestine.
Journal of Poultry Science 2020 October 26
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of live probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri (LR) and Clostridium butyricum (CB) on the expression of genes of innate immune system in broiler chick ileum and cecum. Chicks were administered 500 µl water with or without LR or CB, daily from day 1 to 6 after hatching. The ileum and cecum were collected on day 7 for analysis of gene expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) using real-time PCR. The expression of TLR2-1 was upregulated by CB in the ileum and that of TLR5 was upregulated by both LR and CB. Expression of IL-1β and TGFβ2 in the ileum and of TGFβ3 and TGFβ4 in the cecum was upregulated by both LR and CB. The gene expressions of avian β -defensin ( AvBD ) 1 and cathelicidin ( CATH ) 3 were upregulated by CB and that of AvBD4 was upregulated by LR in the cecum. However, the expression of CATH2 in the ileum was downregulated by LR. These results suggest that probiotic LR and CB treatments affect a part of the innate defense system in the ileum and cecum by modulating the expression of innate immune molecules including TLRs, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and AMPs.
