Abstract
The study is aimed to investigate the protective effect and potential mechanisms of sodium butyrate (NaBT) on soyasaponins (SA) induced intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) injury . The primary IECs of turbot were developed and treated with 0.4, 1 and 4 mM NaBT in the presence of 0.4 mg/mL SA for 6 h to explore the protective effects of NaBT. The results showed that the addition of NaBT significantly down-regulated gene expression of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8, pro-apoptosis relevant gene BAX, caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-9 induced by SA, while up-regulated anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2. SA stimulation did not induce reactive oxygen species production, but elevated gene expression of antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase-1 and superoxide dismutase. Moreover, the gene expression of those antioxidant enzyme was further up-regulated in NaBT groups. Furthermore, NaBT supplementation decreased the acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities and suppressed phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). In conclusion, NaBT could mitigate SA-induced inflammation and apoptosis and elevate gene expression of antioxidant enzymes on IECs of turbot and p38 and JNK signaling pathway participated in those processes.
