Abstract Background: As global temperatures rise, heat stress has become one of the major environmental stressors in the poultry industry. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of heat stress on immune function and oxidative stress, and further reveal the possible mechanisms of oxidative stress induced by heat stress for thymus and spleen of broilers. Methods: At the age of 28 days, thirty broilers were randomly divided into the control group (25 ± 2°C; 24 h/day) and the heat stress group (36 ± 2°C; 8 h/day); the experience was lasted for 1 week. At the end of the experience, the broilers per group were respectively euthanized and collected some samples, then to be analyzed. Results: The results showed that the levels of heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70,P＜ 0.01), corticosterone (CORT,P＜ 0.01), the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA, P＜ 0.05), interleukin-6 (IL-6, P＜ 0.01) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α, P＜ 0.01) in serum were significantly higher in heat stress group than that in the control group; The activities of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and contents of glutathione (GSH) in heat stress group significantly reduced (P＜ 0.05) in serum. Compared with the control group, the birds subjected to heat stress reduced the weight (P＜ 0.01) and the indices of thymus (P＜ 0.01), the activities of T-AOC (P＜ 0.01) and SOD (P＜ 0.05) of spleen, and levels of IL-10 (P＜ 0.05) and the GSH-PX (P＜ 0.05) in thymus and spleen, and increased the IL-6 content of thymus (P＜ 0.05), the MDA content (P＜ 0.01), and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels (P＜ 0.01) in thymus and spleen. Moreover, the expression of immunoglobulin G (IgG) gene in thymus and spleen of heat stressed broiler significantly increased by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR; P＜ 0.05); However, the expression of immunoglobulin M (IgM) gene in spleen significantly increased (P＜ 0.05), and had no significant difference (P＞ 0.05) in thymus of heat-stressed broiler. Furthermore, the relative expression of ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) in thymus and spleen (P＜ 0.05), sodium dependent vitamin C transporter-2 (SVCT-2, P＜ 0.01) and mitochondria calcium uniporter (MCU, P＜ 0.01) mRNA in thymus of heat stressed broilers significantly increased; and the expression of ABCG2 (P＜ 0.05), SVCT-2 (P＜ 0.01) and MCU (P＜ 0.01) protein of thymus and spleen in the heat-stressed broiler increased significantly compared with the control group. Conclusions: In summary, the study confirmed that heat stress caused oxidative stress to immune organs of broilers, further reduced immune function. Moreover, the potential mechanisms of heat stress-induced oxidative stress for thymus and spleen was further reveal in broilers.

SummaryLong-term heat stress (HS) induced by testicular insulation generates oxidative stress (OS) on the testicular environment; consequently activating antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). The aim of this work was to immunolocalize antioxidant enzymes present in different cells within the seminiferous tubule when rams were submitted to HS. Rams were divided into control (n = 6) and treated group (n = 6), comprising rams subjected to testicular insulation for 240 h. After the testicular insulation period, rams were subjected to orchiectomy. Testicular fragments were submitted to immunohistochemistry for staining against SOD, GR and GPx enzymes. We observed immunolocalization of GPx in more cell types of the testis after HS and when compared with other enzymes. In conclusion, GPx is the main antioxidant enzyme identified in testicular cells in an attempt to maintain oxidative balance when HS occurs.

The Impact

Lipid metabolism in avian species places unique demands on the liver in comparison to most mammals. The avian liver synthesizes the vast majority of fatty acids that provide energy and support cell membrane synthesis throughout the bird. Egg production intensifies demands to the liver as hepatic lipids are needed to create the yolk. The enzymatic reactions that underlie de novo lipogenesis are energetically demanding and require a precise balance of vitamins and cofactors to proceed efficiently. External stressors such as overnutrition or nutrient deficiency can disrupt this balance and compromise the liver’s ability to support metabolic needs. Heat stress is an increasingly prevalent environmental factor that impairs lipid metabolism in the avian liver. The effects of heat stress-induced oxidative stress on hepatic lipid metabolism are of particular concern in modern commercial chickens due to the threat to global poultry production. Chickens are highly vulnerable to heat stress because of their limited capacity to dissipate heat, high metabolic activity, high internal body temperature, and narrow zone of thermal tolerance. Modern lines of both broiler (meat-type) and layer (egg-type) chickens are especially sensitive to heat stress because of the high rates of mitochondrial metabolism. While this oxidative metabolism supports growth and egg production, it also yields oxidative stress that can damage mitochondria, cellular membranes and proteins, making the birds more vulnerable to other stressors in the environment. Studies to date indicate that oxidative and heat stress interact to disrupt hepatic lipid metabolism and compromise performance and well-being in both broilers and layers. The purpose of this review is to summarize the impact of heat stress-induced oxidative stress on lipid metabolism in the avian liver. Recent advances that shed light on molecular mechanisms and potential nutritional/managerial strategies to counteract the negative effects of heat stress-induced oxidative stress to the avian liver are also integrated.
