    Background/Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of acupuncture treatment through the ear acupoints on transport stress in experimental microminipigs. Materials and Methods: Experiment 1: Six animals were equally divided into two groups (Control and Treatment). In the treatment group, before transportation (6 h; vehicle and plane), short, ultrathin circular transdermal needles were applied to locations corresponding to the acupoints on the apical area of both ears. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the cranial vena cava 2 days before and immediately after transportation. Blood stress markers, biochemistry indicators, and oxidative stress levels were examined. Experiment 2 (follow-up study: diarrhea incidence after transportation): Diarrhea incidence after transportation in the control and treatment groups was investigated. Results: Experiment 1: Transport stress induced an increase in blood cortisol, serum amyloid A (SAA), glucose, non-esterified fatty acid, and derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and decreased the biological antioxidant potential (BAP)/d-ROMs ratio yet did not affect BAP. Acupuncture suppressed the increases in SAA and d-ROMs values and the decrease in BAP/d-ROMs ratio. Experiment 2: The total diarrhea incidence was 25% in the control group, whereas diarrhea was not observed in the treatment group. Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment suppresses hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal function and, as a result, reduces transport stress without affecting the suppression of the central catecholaminergic system. Acupuncture treatment for transport stress can improve animal welfare.

    <p>This study aimed to determine the effects of vitamin C supplementation on antioxidant and inflammatory status and cell viability of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from eighteen clinically healthy Japanese Black calves in this study. PBMCs were cultured with vitamin C (vitamin C group) and without vitamin C (control group) and stimulated with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS). As a result, the total antioxidant capacities, which are the reducing power of components from Fe3<sup>+</sup> to Fe 2<sup>+</sup>, in the cell culture supernatant with or without LPS stimulation were significantly higher in the vitamin C group than those in the control group (<i>P </i>< 0.05, <i>P </i>< 0.01, respectively). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the cell culture supernatant with LPS stimulation was significantly higher in the control group than that in the vitamin C group (<i>P </i>< 0.05). The viability of cells cultured with LPS stimulation was significantly higher in the vitamin C group than that in the control group after 72 h of culture (<i>P </i>< 0.05). These results suggested that vitamin C is related to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and cell viability of PBMCs obtained from calves.</p>

    Background/Aim: 1,5-Anhydro-D-fructose (1,5-AF, saccharide) and 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG) converted from 1,5-AF via the glycemic pathway have health benefits. However, this metabolism has not been sufficiently elucidated. To clarify the in vivo metabolism of 1,5-AF to 1,5-AG, porcine (blood kinetics) and human (urinary excretion) studies were conducted. Materials and Methods: Microminipigs were administrated 1,5-AF orally or intravenously. Blood samples were obtained to analyse the kinetics of 1,5-AF and 1,5-AG. Urine samples were collected from human subjects who had orally ingested 1,5-AF, and the amounts of 1,5-AF and 1,5-AG excreted in the urine were analysed. Results: In blood kinetics analysis, the time to the maximum concentration of 1,5-AF after intravenous administration was 0.5 h, whereas 1,5-AF was not observed after oral administration. The times to the maximum concentration of 1,5-AG after intravenous and oral administration were 1.5 h and 2 h, respectively. In urinary excretion, the concentration of 1,5-AG in urine rapidly increased after the administration of 1,5-AF, peaked at 2 h, whereas 1,5-AF was not detected. Conclusion: 1,5-AF was rapidly metabolized to 1.5-AG in vivo in swine and human.

    Newcastle disease caused by highly pathogenic viruses of avian paramyxovirus serotype-1 (APMV-1) is a highly contagious poultry disease. Although a large-scale epidemic of Newcastle disease had occurred in Japan between the 1950s and the 2000s, there have been no outbreaks anywhere since 2010. In addition, there are no reports of epidemiological surveys of APMV-1 in wild birds in Japan in the last 10 years. We conducted the first epidemiological survey of APMV-1 in the Izumi plain, Kagoshima prefecture of southern Japan from the winter of 2018 to 2022. A total of 15 APMV-1 strains were isolated, and isolation rates from roosting water and duck fecal samples were 2.51% and 0.10%, respectively. These results indicate that the isolation method from environmental water may be useful for efficient surveillance of APMV-1 in wild birds. Furthermore, this is the first report on the success of APMV-1 isolation from environmental water samples. Genetic analysis of the Fusion (F) gene showed that all APMV-1 isolates were closely related to virus strains circulating among waterfowl in Far East Asian countries. All isolates have avirulent motifs in their cleavage site of F genes, all of which were presumed to be low pathogenic viruses in poultry. However, pathogenicity test using embryonated chicken eggs demonstrated that some isolates killed all chicken embryos regardless of viral doses inoculated (102–106 50% egg infectious dose). These results indicated that APMV-1 strains, which are potentially pathogenic to chickens, are continuously brought into the Izumi plain by migrating wild birds.

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:Letters in Applied Microbiology  

    Tannins derived from natural plant sources are known to provide many health benefits to humans and animals. Among the various tannins, those derived from persimmon (Diospyros kaki) have exhibited strong inactivating effects against pathogens that induce diseases in humans. However, few studies have focused on the antiviral effects of persimmon tannin against pathogen-induced diseases in animals. In this study, we investigated the antiviral effects of persimmon tannin against various avian influenza viruses revealing that tannin at a concentration of 1.0 mg ml-1 reduced viral infectivity in >6.0-log scale against all tested avian influenza viruses. In addition, this persimmon tannin concentration effectively inhibited the receptor binding and membrane fusion abilities of viral hemagglutinin (HA), which play important roles in avian influenza virus infection. These results suggest that persimmon tannin inactivates the HA of avian influenza viruses and reduces their infectivity. Persimmon tannin is a safer natural substance than the currently used chemical compound related to antiviral substance. When inactivation of the viruses which are present in environmental water such as roosting water of wild birds will be needed, persimmon tannin is expected to become an antiviral resource that may prevent the spread of several avian influenza virus subtypes.

    In this study, we determined the efficacy of 3,3-dimethylglutaric anhydride poly-L-lysine (DMGA-PLL) as a cryoprotectant for porcine spermatozoa. Porcine spermatozoa were cryopreserved in a freezing extender containing 3% (v/v) glycerol and various concentrations of DMGA-PLL. At 12 h after thawing, the motility index of spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0.25% (v/v) DMGA-PLL (25.9) was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that of spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0%, 0.125%, or 0.5% DMGA-PLL (10.0–16.3). In addition, the blastocyst formation rate of embryos derived from spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0.25% DMGA-PLL (22.8%) was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that of embryos derived from spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0%, 0.125%, or 0.5% DMGA-PLL (7.9%–10.9%). The mean number of total piglets born to sows inseminated with spermatozoa cryopreserved without DMGA-PLL (9.0) was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that of total piglets born to sows inseminated with spermatozoa stored at 17°C (13.8). However, when spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0.25% DMGA-PLL were used for artificial insemination, the mean number of total piglets (11.7) was not significantly different from that obtained following artificial insemination using spermatozoa stored at 17°C. The results showed the usefulness of DMGA-PLL as a cryoprotectant in the cryopreservation of porcine spermatozoa.

    <p>This study aimed to elucidate the distribution of enrofloxacin (ERFX) within the bronchoalveolar region of pigs. Six clinically healthy pigs were allocated to intramuscular treatments with either a single dose of 5 mg/kg or 7.5 mg/kg ERFX. Samples of plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were obtained from each pig 0 (before administration), 3, 8, and 24 hr after ERFX administration. The ERFX concentrations in pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and BALF cells showed a similar pattern during the experimental period, whereby ERFX concentrations in both ELF and BALF cells were higher than those in the plasma. These results suggest that intramuscularly injected ERFX is well-distributed in the bronchoalveolar region.</p>

    Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) are drug-metabolizing enzymes that are essential for the metabolism of endogenous substrates and xenobiotics. The molecular characteristics of NATs have been extensively investigated in humans but remain to be investigated in common marmosets and pigs, animal species that are often used in drug metabolism studies. In this study, marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 cDNAs were isolated from liver samples and were characterized by molecular analyses and drug-metabolism assays. These NAT genes were intronless and formed gene clusters with one other NAT gene in the genome, just as human NAT genes do. Marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 amino acid sequences showed high sequence identities (94% and 85%, respectively) to human NAT1. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 were more closely clustered with human NATs than with rat or mouse NATs. Marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 mRNAs were expressed in all the tissue types analyzed, with the expression levels being highest in the small intestine. Metabolic assays using recombinant proteins found that marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 metabolized human NAT substrates p-aminobenzoic acid, 2-aminofluorene, sulfamethazine, and isoniazid. Marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 substantially acetylated p-aminobenzoic acid and 2-aminofluorene relevant human NAT1, but their activities were lower toward sulfamethazine and isoniazid than those of the relevant human NAT2. Therefore, marmoset and pig NATs are functional enzymes with molecular similarities to human NAT1, but their substrate specificities, while similar to human NAT1, differ somewhat from human NAT2. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Marmoset N-acetyltransferase NAT1 and pig NAT1 were identified and showed high sequence identities to human NAT1. These NAT mRNAs were expressed in various tissues. Marmoset and pig NAT1s acetylated typical human NAT substrates, although their substrate specificities differed somewhat from human NAT2. Marmoset NAT1 and pig NAT1 have similarities with human NAT1 in terms of molecular and enzymatic characteristics.

    Cytochrome P450s (P450s) have been identified and analyzed in dogs and pigs, species that are often used in preclinical drug studies. Moreover, P450s are clinically important for drug therapy not only in humans, but also in species under veterinary care, including dogs and cats. In the present study, seven P450s homologous to human CYP2J2, namely, dog CYP2J2; cat CYP2J2; and pig CYP2J33, CYP2J35, CYP2J91, and CYP2J93, were newly identified and characterized, along with pig CYP2J34 previously identified. The cDNAs of these CYP2Js contain open reading frames of 502 amino acids, except for CYP2J35 (498 amino acids), and share high sequence identity (77%-80%) with human CYP2J2. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that dog and cat CYP2J2 were closely related, whereas pig CYP2Js formed a cluster. All seven CYP2J genes contain nine coding exons and are located in corresponding genomic regions, with the pig CYP2J genes forming a gene cluster. These CYP2J2 mRNAs were predominantly expressed in the small intestine with additional expression in the kidney and brain for dog CYP2J2 and pig CYP2J91 mRNAs, respectively. All seven CYP2Js metabolized human CYP2J2 substrates terfenadine, ebastine, and astemizole, indicating that they are functional enzymes. Dog CYP2J2 and pig CYP2J34 and CYP2J35 efficiently catalyzed ebastine primary hydroxylation and secondary carebastine formation at low substrate concentrations, just as human CYP2J2 does. Velocity-versus-substate plots exhibited sigmoidal relationships for dog CYP2J2, cat CYP2J2, and pig CYP2J33, indicating allosteric interactions. These results suggest that dog, cat, and pig CYP2Js have similar functional characteristics to human CYP2J2, with slight differences in ebastine and astemizole oxidations. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Dog CYP2J2; cat CYP2J2; and pig CYP2J33, CYP2J34, CYP2J35, CYP2J91, and CYP2J93, homologous to human CYP2J2, were identified and characterized by sequence, phylogenetic, and genomic structure analyses. Intestinal expression patterns of CYP2J mRNAs were characteristic in dogs, cats, and pigs. Dog, cat, and pig CYP2Js likely play roles as drug-metabolizing enzymes in the small intestine, similar to human CYP2J2.

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:Journal of Veterinary Research (Poland)  

    Introduction: Potential biomarkers for chronic seasonal heat stress in Kagoshima Berkshire pigs reared in the subtropical region were investigated by comparing the biomarker changes in the summer (a period of chronic heat stress) and winter (a thermoneutral period) seasons. Material and Methods: Pigs were allocated to summer- and winter-finishing cohorts, 12 each. The evaluations included assessment of carcass traits and internal organs’ normality carried out at the time of slaughter, and measurement of biomarkers in whole blood: derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and biological antioxidant potential as markers of oxidative stress, and serum amyloid A and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio as markers of acute and chronic inflammation, respectively. Results: The summer-finished pigs reared under subtropical field conditions showed lower carcass quality than the winter-finished pigs, indicating a potential adverse effect of summer temperatures on the swine industry. Marginal changes were observed in d-ROMs and the A/G ratio between the summer- and winter-finishing cohorts. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that d-ROMs and the A/G ratio could be used as sensitive markers for heat stress under field conditions.

    <p> In this study, we cryopreserved pig spermatozoa using carboxylated poly-L-lysine (CPLL) as the cryoprotectant to determine its efficacy. Pig spermatozoa were placed in a freezing extender containing 3% (v/v) glycerol and different CPLL concentrations. The motility indices of the spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0.25% (v/v) CPLL at 6 (59.3), 9 (53.7), and 12 (26.2) h after thawing were significantly higher (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) than those of the spermatozoa cryopreserved without CPLL (53.7, 40.1, and 17.5 at 6, 9, and 12 h after thawing, respectively). The concentration of CPLL in the freezing extender did not affect the ability of frozen-thawed spermatozoa to fertilize oocytes <i>in vitro</i>. However, the blastocyst formation rate of embryos derived from spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0.25% CPLL (24.6%) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than that of embryos derived from spermatozoa cryopreserved without CPLL (11.2%). The conception rate of the sows inseminated with spermatozoa cryopreserved with 0.25% CPLL (72.2%) was not significantly different from that of the sows inseminated with spermatozoa stored at 17°C (81.3%). However, the mean number of total piglets born to the former (10.0) was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that of total piglets born to the latter (13.4). The results showed that CPLL in the freezing extender maintained the motility of frozen-thawed pig spermatozoa and improved the <i>in vitro</i> development of embryos produced by <i>in vitro</i> fertilization. In addition, we have demonstrated that piglets could be obtained with artificial insemination using spermatozoa cryopreserved with CPLL.</p>

    Colibacillosis, an infectious disease of chickens, is caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC); however, in addition to APEC, other pathogens are also frequently isolated from chickens affected with colibacillosis. Therefore, experimental infections in chickens are necessary to evaluate the pathogenicity of APEC isolates. Recent studies have shown that embryo lethality assays can be used as an alternative method to evaluate the pathogenicity of E. coli. In this study, to determine the important virulence genes associated with the pathogenicity of E. coli, 67 strains of E. coli that possessed different combinations of eight representative virulence genes (cva/cvi, vat, tsh, iucD, papC, irp2, iss, and astA) were isolated from broilers with colibacillosis in Japan, and the chicken embryo lethal assay was conducted. The genes vat, papC, and irp2 showed strong correlation with the level of virulence in E. coli. Our study provides useful information about the important virulence-associated genes in relation to the pathogenicity of E. coli in Japanese chickens.

    The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of vitamin C supplementation on blood oxidative stress biomarkers and antibody response to vaccination in calves. Thirty-four clinically healthy 2 week old Japanese Black calves were randomly assigned to two groups. Seventeen calves formed the VC group which received 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily from 2 to 8 weeks of age, and the other 17 calves of the control group did not receive supplementation. All calves received an inactivated Histophilus somni vaccine at 4 and 8 weeks of age. Blood samples were taken at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks of age. The concentration of the serum reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs), and the oxidative stress index (OSI), which is calculated from the d-ROMs and biological antioxidant potential, were significantly lower at 8 weeks of age in the VC group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The antibody titres to H. somni in the VC group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 12 weeks of age after the second vaccination (P < 0.05). Vitamin C supplementation to calves may reduce oxidative stress and enhance the antibody production after vaccination with H. somni.

    Background/Aim: The number of vertebrae in swine varies from 19 to 23 and is associated with body size. Nuclear receptor subfamily 6 group A member 1 (NR6A1) is considered a strong candidate for affecting the number of vertebrae in swine. Wild boars, which uniformly have 19 vertebrae, have the wild type allele while multi-vertebrae European commercial pigs have the mutated allele. Our aim was to confirm the factor of the miniaturization. Materials and Methods: We examined vertebrae number and NR6A1 polymorphism in the Microminipig and three domestic breeds that vary in body size. Results: The Microminipig had 19 or less vertebrae and a wild type NR6A1 genotype. Three domestic breeds had more than 21 vertebrae while the largest vertebrae number was observed in multi-vertebrae-fixed Large White. Heterozygous genotypes were observed in the middle-sized indigenous pig while homozygous NR6A1 mutations were observed in European commercial breeds. Conclusion: NR6A1 could be a useful index for both miniaturizing and increasing pig body size.
