Abstract
The gastrointestinal health of livestock is essential for the agricultural sector. Rutin, a natural flavonoid extract from plants, exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, alongside a protective impact on the intestinal tract of pigs. However its influence on the proliferation, migration, and cellular junctions of IPEC-J2 cells remains unexplored. This study involved treating IPEC-J2 cells with varying concentrations of rutin. It was observed that after 24 h of treatment with 200 µM rutin, cell viability was significantly increased, along with significant upregulation in the mRNA expression levels of proliferation-related genes (CCNE2, CDK4, CDK2, CCNDB, and PCNA) and tight junction genes (ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-1). Additionally, the expression of proliferation-related PCNA protein was significantly increased. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that rutin treatment impacted the overall transcription profile of IPEC-J2 cells, altering the expression of genes involved in critical physiological processes such as redox balance, cell proliferation, and tight junctions maintenance. Consequently, rutin demonstrated a significant enhancement in the proliferation of IPEC-J2 cells and improved the intestinal barrier function in pigs, offering valuable insights for sustaining pig intestinal health in swine husbandry.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Research Communications publishes fully refereed research articles and topical reviews on all aspects of the veterinary sciences. Interdisciplinary articles are particularly encouraged, as are well argued reviews, even if they are somewhat controversial.
The journal is an appropriate medium in which to publish new methods, newly described diseases and new pathological findings, as these are applied to animals. The material should be of international rather than local interest. As it deliberately seeks a wide coverage, Veterinary Research Communications provides its readers with a means of keeping abreast of current developments in the entire field of veterinary science.
