摘要
为了探讨急性冷应激对仔猪免疫系统的影响,本试验将18头45d“约克夏”仔猪随机分成常温对照组(Control,C)、冷暴露组(Coldexposure,CE)和冷暴露并阻断糖皮质激素受体组(Cold exposure+RU486,CER).常温组在18-20℃、冷暴露各组在4~8℃环境下分栏饲养.冷暴露时间持续12h,在冷暴露开始后的第0、1、3、6、9、12h六个时间点对18头仔猪采血并分离血浆,分别使用双抗体夹心ELISA法检测各血浆样品的IL-2和IL-6水平,放射免疫分析法测定血浆样品的ACTH和皮质醇水平.结果显示:单纯冷暴露组IL-2水平和IL-6水平在冷暴露6h时明显升高(P〈0.01),ACTH水平在各时间点均明显降低(P〈0.01),而Cortisol水平仅在冷暴露3h时明显升高(P〈O.01),IL-2与IL-6的水平呈强相关(r=0.9595),ACTH与IL-2的水平呈中等强度负相关(r=-0.4359)、与IL-6的水平呈弱的负相关,皮质醇与IL-2的水平呈弱的负相关、与IL-6的水平呈中等强度负相关(r=-0.4478);受体阻断组IL-2在冷暴露6h、9h和12h时均明显升高(P〈0.01),IL-6在冷暴露6h明显升高(P〈0.01),ACTH在冷暴露各时间点均明显降低(P〈0.01),IL-2和IL-6水平呈中等相关(r=0.4161),ACTH与IL-2、IL-6的水平均呈强负相关(r=-0.6765/-0.7174),皮质醇与IL-2、1L.6均呈弱负相关.上述结果表明,急性冷暴露能使IL-2、IL-6及皮质醇的分泌增强,且阻断糖皮质激素受体会导致IL-2和IL-6之间以及ACTH与IL-2/IL-6之间的相关性改变.
Eighteen Yorkshire piglets aged 45 d were divided into 3 groups randomly. Group 1 (control) was kept at ambient temperature (18-20 ℃). Group 2 (Cold exposure) was kept at 4-8℃ for 12 hour. Group 3 (Cold exposure + RU486) was disposed by hypodermic injection (20 mg/kg body weight) and kept at temperature of 4-8 ℃ for 12 h. Blood samples were collected at 0 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h and 12 h after cold exposure from superior vena cava. The levels of IL-2 and 1L-6 in plasma were measured by the method of double antibody sandwich ELISA. The levels of ACTH and cortisol in plasma were evaluated by the RIA (Radio-immunity analysis) method. The results showed that of group 2 the levels of IL-2 and IL-6 increased significantly at 6 h (P〈0.01), the level of ACTH decreased significantly at 1 h, 3 h, 6 h and 12 h (P〈0.01) and the level of cortisol increased obviously at 3 h (P〈0.01). There was a strong correlation between the levels of IL-2 and IL-6 (r=0.959 5), a moderately negative correlation between ACTH and IL-2 (r=-0.435 9), a weakly negative correlation between ACTH and IL-6, a weakly negative correlation between cortisol and IL-2, and a moderately negative correlation between cortisol and IL-6 (r=-0.447 8). Of group 3 the 1L-2 level increased remarkably at 6 h, 9 h and 12 h under cold exposure (P〈0.01) and rose slightly at 3 h (P〈0.05), the level oflL-6 rose obviously at 6 h (P〈0.01) and slightly at I h (P〈0.05), the level of ACTH decreased dramatically at 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h and 12 h (P〈0.01). There was a moderate correlation between the levels of IL-2 and IL-6 (r=0.416 1), a strongly negative correlation between ACTH and IL-2/IL-6 (r=-0.676 5/-0.717 4) and a weakly negative correlation between cortisol and IL-2/ IL-6. Those results suggested that the acute exposure at low temperature enhanced the secretion of IL-2, IL-6 and cortisol, and the blockage of GR could induce the changes of correlation between IL-2 and IL-6, and ACTH and IL-2/IL-6.
