【】羔羊腹泻是由病原微生物、营养改变、环境应激等多因素互作所致的新生和断奶时期危害羔羊生长的临床常见病之一。对断奶前后腹泻羔羊的生长生理与肠道菌群变化与其同期健康羔羊进行比较。为不同生长阶段羔羊腹泻的针对性防治研究奠定科学基础。在对羔羊腹泻进行临床调查的基础上,随机选择断奶前(31—45日龄)健康和腹泻羔羊各10只、断奶后(60—75日龄)健康和腹泻羔羊各10只分成4组进行生长生理、血液生理生化指标及相关炎性因子指标测定。采集直肠粪样,用16S rRNA测序进行肠道菌群组成结构比较分析。(1)断奶前健康与腹泻羔羊体重差异不显著。而断奶后腹泻羔羊体重极显著低于健康羔羊(<0.01),且腹泻羔羊的体温、脉搏和呼吸频率也均显著低于健康羔羊(<0.05)。(2)断奶前腹泻羔羊总蛋白、球蛋白、胆固醇等生化指标显著低于健康羔羊(<0.05)。断奶后腹泻羔羊白细胞总数极显著高于健康羔羊(<0.01),尿素氮、肌酐、磷、血糖和总胆红素显著低于健康羔羊(<0.05),炎性因子IL-4、IL-6、IL-8显著高于健康羔羊。(3)断奶后健康羔羊与腹泻羔羊肠道菌群共有OTUs占比较断奶前上升近一倍。断奶前腹泻羔羊肠道菌群Alpha多样性显著降低(<0.05)。健康与腹泻羔羊的肠道菌群PCoA分布差异显著(Weighted UniFrac Adonis和Anosim检验水平,<0.05),而断奶后组间差异不显著。门水平:与其同期健康羔羊相比,断奶前腹泻羔羊梭杆菌门相对丰度显著升高(<0.05),疣微菌门和放线菌门相对丰度显著下降(<0.05)。断奶后,腹泻羔羊黏胶球形菌门和放线菌门相对丰度显著下降(<0.05)。属水平:与其同期健康羔羊相比,断奶前腹泻羔羊梭杆菌属和梭菌属显著升高(<0.05),而艾克曼菌属、脱硫弧菌属和丁酸弧菌属显著下降(<0.05)。断奶后,腹泻羔羊瘤胃球菌属显著下降(<0.05),而脱硫弧菌属显著升高(<0.05)。本研究结果表明断奶前腹泻羔羊主要发生蛋白质和血脂降低;而断奶后腹泻羔羊的生理变化以尿素氮、肌酐和血糖等指标的下降为特点。断奶前腹泻羔羊肠道菌群失调变化明显;而断奶后腹泻羔羊炎症反应等变化明显。这些差异可能与断奶所引起的日粮组成结构和环境因素改变密切相关。

【研究意义】断奶是羔羊、犊牛等哺乳动物幼畜生长发育的关键时期之一。断奶时哺乳动物幼畜从以吸吮富含营养且易消化的母乳为主转向以采食固体饲料为主,其消化道形态功能发生剧烈变化。断奶期羔羊在饲料营养结构改变、环境应激、病原入侵等因素的综合影响下,羔羊极易发生以腹泻为特征的消化道疾病,导致其生长迟滞甚至死亡,造成羔羊生产效率低下以及巨大的经济损失[1-3]。羔羊断奶期的消化系统形态结构和功能的生长发育变化以及致羔羊腹泻的多病因学研究报道已屡见不鲜[4-7]。导致羔羊腹泻的原因也会随年龄的变化而变化[8-9]。由于断奶过程带来的羔羊生存环境的巨大变化,断奶期健康羔羊的肠道菌群也会发生显著变化,断奶前和断奶后肠道菌群的组成结构也具有显著差异性[10-11]。因此,揭示断奶期腹泻羔羊宿主生理生化变化和肠道菌群的变化特点对于精准防治羔羊消化道疾病,减少发病率和死亡率,提高羔羊生产效益具有重要科学意义。【前人研究进展】近年来,肠道菌群在宿主健康调控中的作用日益凸显,婴幼儿和幼畜发生腹泻和肠道菌群的改变关系密切。在猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)感染的吮乳仔猪肠道中,整体微生态平衡被打破,表现为梭杆菌门(Fusobacterium)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)相对丰度显著高于健康仔猪,而拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)丰度显著低于健康仔猪[12]。Huang等[13]发现断奶过渡期因PEDV感染发生腹泻的吮乳仔猪大肠埃希氏菌()、肠球菌()、梭菌()和韦荣球菌()菌属显著高于健康对照组仔猪。人和动物的腹泻是多种胃肠道疾病以及非肠道感染的其他疾病的主要临床表现,大多具有炎性症状发生和机体免疫异常[14-15],在炎症肠病发生发展过程中,细胞因子起着重要的作用,主要表现为促炎和抗炎细胞因子之间相互促进相互制约作用,二者的动态变化决定了炎症的发展及结局[16]。Fernández等比较了断奶前健康与腹泻羔羊的血清细胞因子的变化,发现腹泻羔羊的IL-1β浓度极显著高于健康对照组[17]。因球虫感染导致的腹泻羔羊肠道免疫组化结果显示所检测的细胞因子IFN-α、IFN-γ、IL-1α、IL-1β、IL-2、IL-6、IL-10、TNF-α和TNF-β均显著高于健康对照组羔羊,其中增高最多的是促炎细胞因子IL-1α和IL-6[18]。发生轮状病毒性腹泻的(20月龄内)婴幼儿的IL-6、IL-10和IFN-γ也显著高于健康对照组[19]。杨立华等[20]研究发现无论是病毒感染还是细菌感染,腹泻患儿的血清细胞因子TNF-α、IL-6、IL-8均显著升高。与健康羔羊相比,目前对于断奶前和断奶后腹泻羔羊生理状况和其肠道菌群的差异性变化以及宿主和其肠道菌群的互作关系尚缺乏足够清晰的比较研究。【本研究切入点】针对断奶前和断奶后临床散发、非传染性腹泻的羔羊,即非特异病原性腹泻羔羊,采用与其对应日龄段的健康羔羊进行比较的方法,排除日龄变化的叠加干扰,比较断奶前和断奶后腹泻羔羊生长、生理生化指标、炎性因子和肠道菌群组成结构变化。【拟解决的关键问题】探索断奶前、后腹泻羔羊的上述变化的差异性。以期为不同生长阶段羔羊腹泻的精准防治奠定基础。

1 材料与方法

1.1 试验设计与动物分组

本试验在新疆木垒县某湖羊养殖场进行,试验时间为2017年5—12月。该场羔羊随母羊吮乳,在10—15日龄起开始补饲开食料。当吮乳羔羊日龄在45 d左右、体重达15±2 kg左右开始断奶,断奶后羔羊完全采食固体饲料。围绕羔羊断奶时期对临床散发、无特异病原的非传染性腹泻羔羊进行临床调查,统计腹泻和死亡羔羊,计算腹泻率、死亡率等指标。在此基础上,随机选择断奶前(31—45日龄)健康和腹泻羔羊各10只,断奶后(60—75日龄)健康和腹泻羔羊各10只进行采样和各项指标测定。健康羔羊与腹泻羔羊样品均在采食前采集,所有羔羊采样前无任何抗生素接触史。羔羊分组及日粮组成见表1、2。

1.2 临床观察测定与样品采集

1.2.1 羔羊腹泻观察测定 每天11:00和17:00在羔羊采食前分别观察羔羊粪便,出现腹泻症状即采样,参考Marquardt等[21]的方法进行粪便形态评分。即,0分:正常,粪便条形或粒状;1分:软粪、成形;2分:轻腹泻,不成形、粪水未分离;3分:严重腹泻,液状、不成形、粪水分离(图1)。当粪便评分为2分或以上时认为羔羊发生腹泻并统计腹泻只数及次数。计算腹泻率=试验期内每组羔羊腹泻头次/(试验天数×每组羔羊头数)×100%和腹泻病死率=死亡羔羊数/腹泻羔羊数×100%。

3 讨论

3.1 生理生化指标变化

本试验发现,在断奶前阶段,健康组和腹泻羔羊的体重、体温、脉搏和呼吸频率(TPR)均无显著差异;而断奶后腹泻羔羊的体重和TPR均显著低于健康羔羊。在早期断奶羔羊和断奶后仔猪研究中,均出现腹泻羔羊和仔猪体重下降的研究报道[8-11,22]。本试验发现断奶前腹泻羔羊的血清总蛋白、球蛋白、总胆固醇显著低于健康组,其他血液生理生化指标两组间无显著差异。而断奶后腹泻羔羊白细胞显著高于健康羔羊,且腹泻羔羊的血清尿素氮和肌酐极显著低于健康组,血糖和总胆红素也显著低于健康羔羊。唯有血磷浓度无论是断奶前还是断奶后,均为腹泻组显著低于健康组。在感染球虫发生腹泻的断奶羔羊中也发现WBC显著高于健康对照组[23],磷浓度显著低于健康对照组[7]。蒋莉等人在研究儿童慢性腹泻合并肠道蛋白丢失的试验中发现患儿的总蛋白和球蛋白浓度均显著低于健康对照组[24]。Salem等[25]在细小病毒感染的腹泻幼犬血清检测到总蛋白和白蛋白下降的结果,与本试验结果一致,而甘油三酯和血清尿素氮显著高于健康幼犬的结果与本结果不一致。这些差异可能是由于不同动物,不同年龄段或是不同腹泻原因所致。本试验结果显示断奶前腹泻羔羊主要发生以蛋白质和血脂降低为主的变化,而断奶后腹泻羔羊则发生尿素氮、肌酐和血糖等指标的下降变化,此变化可能与断奶造成日粮改变有关。

3.2 细胞因子变化

本试验针对断奶前和断奶后两个阶段的健康和腹泻羔羊血清炎性相关细胞因子IL-4、IL-6、IL-8、IL-10、IL-18以及IL-1β、IFN-γ和TNF-α进行了比较,发现断奶前健康和腹泻羔羊之间各细胞因子均无显著差异。而断奶后腹泻羔羊的IL-4、IL-6和IL-8显著高于健康羔羊。Kumar等[26]在羔羊感染副结核分枝杆菌导致腹泻的研究中发现羔羊的IL-4显著高于健康对照组。但Fernandez等[17]在检测11—18日龄吮乳期健康与腹泻羔羊的细胞因子时发现腹泻羔羊的血清IL-1β显著高于健康对照组羔羊。Sakai等[27]采用氟脲嘧啶5诱导发生腹泻的小鼠试验中,也发现腹泻小鼠不同段肠道的TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6、IFN γ 、IL-17和 IL-22 的mRNA水平均显著升高。Jiang等[19]发现患轮状病毒腹泻儿童的IL-6、IL-10和IFN-γ显著高于健康对照组儿童。腹泻疾病过程中的细胞因子变化是由于促炎和抗炎因子的复杂动态平衡与互作[28]。本试验和其他研究在不同动物、不同诱因导致的腹泻研究中均检测到血清IL-6和/或其mRNA表达水平的升高,鉴于IL-6在炎症反应中的促炎/抗炎双向生物学作用,提示IL-6可能在羔羊腹泻过程中维持机体免疫稳态具有特殊重要作用[29-30]。

3.3 肠道菌群变化

断奶期的日粮改变是引起哺乳动物肠道菌群组成结构发生剧烈变化的主要环境因素[31-33]。本研究发现,断奶后健康与腹泻羔羊共有OTUs占比(72.49%)较断奶前健康与腹泻羔羊共有OTUs占比(37.45%)升高近一倍。断奶前腹泻羔羊菌群Alpha多样性各项指数均显著低于健康羔羊,而断奶后羔羊未呈现显著的组间差异。Beta多样性(PCA)结果显示断奶前健康与腹泻组呈现显著差异分布,断奶后健康与腹泻羔羊肠道菌群分布差异不显著。Nakamura等[34]在研究11日龄左右健康日本黑牛吮乳期健康犊牛和腹泻犊牛粪菌组成结构时发现,后者的粪菌群Alpha多样性指标均显著低于健康组。健康组和腹泻组无论是瘤胃菌群还是粪菌群的Beta多样性的相似程度都较低。与本研究健康和腹泻羔羊粪菌群的组成结构结果基本一致。Sakaitani等[35]研究表明,动物肠道菌群会随着年龄的增加和饮食习惯的改变而逐渐发生变化。Thompson等[36]研究发现。3—36日龄仔猪粪便菌群多样性随着日龄的变化而呈现升高趋势,直到仔猪断奶后粪便菌群多样性才基本趋于稳定。因此,本试验中断奶前健康与腹泻羔羊肠道菌群多样性均呈现出显著差异,而断奶后健康与腹泻羔羊肠道菌群多样性则无显著性差异,可能断奶后羔羊肠道菌群多样性已基本处于相对稳态,腹泻对其影响程度较低。

本研究发现,断奶前腹泻羔羊的梭杆菌门(Fusobacteria)相对丰度显著高于健康羔羊,而疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)和放线菌门(Actinobacteria)显著低于健康羔羊。属水平差异为:腹泻羔羊的梭杆菌属()和梭菌属()均显著高于健康羔羊,而艾克曼菌属()、脱硫弧菌属()和丁酸弧菌属()显著低于健康羔羊。而断奶后,腹泻羔羊低丰度的黏胶球形菌门(Lentisphaerae)和放线菌门(Actinobacteria)相对丰度显著低于健康羔羊。而腹泻羔羊的瘤胃球菌属()显著低于健康羔羊;脱硫弧菌属()则显著高于健康羔羊。与断奶前相比,断奶后腹泻羔羊肠道菌群呈现不同的肠道菌群变化谱。梭杆菌属是革兰氏阴性无芽孢专性厌氧杆菌属,含有多种与消化道炎性疾病发生密切相关的致病菌[37]。梭菌属是革兰氏阳性梭状芽孢杆菌属,该属中主要的致病性厌氧芽孢梭菌可引起人和动物的破伤风、气性坏疽、坏死性肠炎、食物中毒以及艰难梭菌性肠炎等疾病[38]。Tan等[39]在比较感染流行性腹泻的吮乳仔猪和健康仔猪结肠组成时发现梭杆菌门(Fusobacteria)和梭杆菌属()菌群均显著高于健康仔猪。脱硫弧菌属()、丁酸弧菌属(),均为反刍动物瘤胃中的共生革兰氏阴性厌氧菌。前者的一些致病菌可引起以慢性腹泻为临床特征之一的增殖性肠病[40-41],后者可引起菌血症等感染性疾病[42-43]。疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)属于PVC超级菌门(superphylum:Planctomycetes,Verrucomicrobia,Chlamydia)家族成员之一,艾克曼菌属()是疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)在肠道中发现的重要菌属,该菌属中的A.具有黏液降解作用,对于维持肠黏膜完整性具有重要作用[44]。Zhao等[45]用饲喂小鼠,研究前者和小鼠炎性变化的关系。结果显示日粮添加可显著改善小鼠的炎症状态。本研究发现断奶前后腹泻羔羊呈现出不同的肠道菌群变化特点,断奶前腹泻羔羊的肠道菌群失调变化较断奶后明显。但由于本试验主要针对临床散发的非特异病原性腹泻症状为主进行了肠道菌群的比较研究,未对特异病原进行检测。因此,导致断奶前后腹泻羔羊肠道菌群差异性的原因与机理尚需进一步探索。

4 结论

断奶前腹泻羔羊的生长状况、生理生化及炎性反应变化以及肠道菌群组成结构变化与断奶后腹泻羔羊的变化具有显著的差异性。断奶前腹泻羔羊主要表现以蛋白质和血脂降低为主;而断奶后腹泻羔羊以尿素氮、肌酐和血糖指标的下降为主。断奶前腹泻羔羊肠道菌群失调变化明显;而断奶后腹泻羔羊炎症反应等变化明显。这些差异变化可能与断奶所引起的日粮组成结构和环境因素改变密切相关。其背后的菌群-宿主互作机理值得进一步研究。

【】Lamb diarrhea is one of the common clinical diseases caused by the certain pathogens or the interaction with malnutrition, abnormal management, and environmental stress during newborn and weaning periods, which hazards the lamb production. There is lack of enough investigation about the differences of lambs' physio-biochemistry with their gut microbiota caused by diarrhea between suckling and weaned periods. Therefore, this study was intended to compare the growth physiology with gut microbiota of diarrheic lambs in pre-and post-weaning period, so as to lay a scientific foundation for prevention and treatment of lamb diarrhea occurred at different growth stages precisely and effectively. 【】10 suckling healthy lambs and 10 diarrheic lambs at age of 31-45 day, and another 10 weaned healthy lambs and 10 diarrheic lambs at age of 60-75 day were selected and paired to check the growth status, blood physio-biochemistry and inflammatory factors. The rectal fecal samples were used to analyze gut microbiota composition and structure using 16S rRNA. 【】1. There was no significant difference in body weight between healthy and diarrhea lambs before weaning, but after weaning, the body weight of diarrheic lambs was extremely lower than that of healthy lambs (<0.01), and the body temperature, pulse and respiratory rate of diarrheic lambs were also significantly lower than those of healthy lambs (<0.05). 2. Before weaning, the total protein, globulin, and cholesterol in diarrheic lambs were significantly lower than those in healthy lambs (<0.05). After weaning, the total number of leukocytes in diarrheic lambs was extremely higher than that of healthy lambs (<0.01). And the blood urea, nitrogen, creatinine, phosphorus, glucose and total bilirubin in diarrheic lambs were significantly lower than those in healthy lambs (<0.05). After weaning, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-8 in diarrheic lambs were significantly higher than those in healthy lambs (<0.05). 3. The percentage of common OTUs in the gut of healthy and diarrheic lambs after weaning was almost as doubled as that before weaning. Alpha diversity of the gut microbiota in diarrheic lambs before weaning was significantly reduced as compared to their healthy counterpart (<0.05). And Beta diversity of the gut microbiota weightedCoA in diarrheic lambs before weaning was significantly different from that in the healthy lambs (Weighted UniFrac Adonis and Anosim tests,<0.05). At phylum level: before weaning, the relative abundance ofwas significantly increased (<0.05), whereas that ofand Actinobacteria was significantly decreased in the gut of diarrheic lambs as compared to their healthy counterpart (<0.05). After weaning, the relative abundance ofandwas significantly reduced as compared to their healthy counterpart (<0.05). At genus level: before weaning, the relative abundance ofandwere significantly increased, while,andwere significantly decreased in the gut of diarrheic lambs as compared to their healthy counterpart (<0.05). After weaning, the relative abundance ofwas significantly decreased, whilesignificantly was increased in the gut of diarrheic lambs as compared to their healthy counterpart (<0.05). 【】It was concluded that before weaning the content of blood proteins and the blood fat decreased significantly, whereas after weaning, the elevation of white blood cells and the decrease of CREA, UREA and the blood glucose was significant in diarrheic lambs. Before weaning, the more obvious gut microbiota dysbiosis was observed, whereas after weaning more significant gut inflammatory activity was observed in diarrheic lambs. The ration structure and the environment during weaning time could be the crucial factors for shifting aforementioned differences.
