Low-dose astaxanthin promotes growth via bile acid-regulated metabolic and lipid-antioxidant pathways in Scylla paramamosain
This study evaluated the synergistic effects of astaxanthin (AST) and bile acids (BA) on growth, lipid metabolism, and antioxidant capacity in Scylla paramamosain through a 63-day feeding trial using a total of 150 crabs (30 crabs per group) integrated with multi-omics analysis (initial weight: 9.07 ± 0.05 g). Five experimental diets were formulated: control (SA0), 50 mg kg−1 AST (SA50), 50 mg kg−1 AST with 0.02 % BA (SA50 + BA2), 50 mg kg−1 AST with 0.04 % BA (SA50 + BA4), and 100 mg kg−1 AST (SA100), respectively. The results indicated that crabs fed diets with SA50 + BA2 and SA100 exhibited higher percent weight gain (PWG) and specific growth rate (SGR) than those fed the other diets (p < 0.05). Both SA50 + BA2 and SA100 increased hemolymph triglycerides (TG) but reduced hepatic triglyceride accumulation by enhancing carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 activity (p < 0.05). Moreover, crabs fed diets with SA50 + BA2 and SA100 showed higher activities of Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (p < 0.05), while reducing concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of alanine aminotransferase (p < 0.05). Multi-omics analysis revealed the synergistic interaction of BA-AST through methyl and metabolic coupling: BA inhibited the expression of chitin hydrolysis gene (chitinase) through methyl donor optimization, up-regulated the expression of 5-methylcytosine and down-regulated expression of gnmt (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, AST inhibited phospholipid synthesis (slc5a7 downregulation and decreased PC (P-18:1 (9Z) / 0:0), p < 0.05), while BA activated carnitine shuttling (bbox1 upregulation and carnitine elevation, p < 0.05), jointly mitigating hepatic lipidosis. AST-mediated ROS scavenging (sod1 upregulation) synergized with BA-induced sulfur metabolism (cbs) and iron regulation (fth1) to enhance redox homeostasis. Pathway analysis confirmed mutual enhancement between AST and BA, with BA improving AST absorption and AST promoting BA-induced β-oxidation. This nutrient synergy enabled a 50 % reduction in AST dosage without compromising growth or antioxidant efficacy, primarily via lipid redistribution and methyl-metabolic coupling.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture is an international journal for the exploration, improvement and management of all freshwater and marine food resources. It publishes novel and innovative research of world-wide interest on farming of aquatic organisms, which includes finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants for human consumption. Research on ornamentals is not a focus of the Journal. Aquaculture only publishes papers with a clear relevance to improving aquaculture practices or a potential application.
