摘要
本试验旨在研究妊娠后期胎儿宫内生长受限(Intrauterine growth retardation,IUGR)对蒙古绵羊胎儿胸腺及其T淋巴细胞发育的影响。选择健康的蒙古绵羊42只(经同期发情受孕),在妊娠90d时选择6只母羊进行屠宰,其余按体质量随机分配到3个组:限制组1(RG1,0.175MJ.kgW-0.75.d-1(n=14))、限制组2(RG2,0.33MJ.kgW-0.75.d-1(n=12))和自由采食组(CG,0.67 MJ.kgW-0.75.d-1,(n=10)),进行不同能量水平饲养。至妊娠140d,各组再选择6只母羊进行屠宰。结果表明,妊娠后期限饲母羊严重限制了限饲组胎儿体质量(P<0.01),导致RG2(P<0.05)、RG1组(P<0.01)胎儿胸腺质量、胸腺皮质厚度、胸腺总DNA含量以及RG1组胎儿胸腺的皮质/髓质比值、总蛋白质含量显著低于CG组(P<0.01);RG1组胎儿胸腺的SOD酶活性(P<0.05)、T-AOC浓度(P<0.01)显著低于CG组,GSH-PX酶活性(P<0.05)、MDA浓度(P<0.05)显著高于CG组;RG2、RG1组胎儿的胸腺中CD4+CD8+双阳性T淋巴细胞均显著低于CG组(P<0.05)。结果显示,妊娠后期IUGR严重影响了胎儿胸腺及其T淋巴细胞的生长发育,这必将影响IUGR胎儿细胞免疫能力及出生后的健康。
This study investigated the effects of IUGR (Intrauterine growth retardation) during late pregnancy on the fetal thymus and the T cell lymphocyte development of Mongolia ovine. 42 Mongolia ewes mated at a synchronized estrus were selected and among them 6 ewes were slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment and the remaining 36 animals were allocated to three different groups: restricted group1 (RG1, 0.175 MJ·kgW-0.75·d-1, n=14), restricted group2 (RG2, 0.33 MJ·kgW-0.75·d-1, n=12) and control group (CG, ad libitum, 0.67 MJ·kgW-0.75·d-1, n=10). At 140 d of gestation, 6 ewes in each group were slaughtered and their fetuses were removed. The results showed that the fetal weight in both RG1 and RG2 groups were significantly reduced(P〈0.01) by maternal under-nutrition during late pregnancy, which led to fetal thymus weight, thymus cortical thickness, thymus DNA contents in RG1(P〈0.01) and RG2(P〈0.05) groups, and thymus cortical/medullary ratio, protein contents in RG1(P〈0.01) were decreased compared to that in CG group. The activities of SOD(P〈0.05) and the contents of T-AOC(P〈0.01) of fetal thymus in RG1 group were decreased, while the activities of GSH-PX and the contents of MDA were increased compared to CG group(P〈0.05). Additionally, the CD4+CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets of fetal thymus were lower in both RG2 and RG1 groups than that in CG group(P〈0.05). These results indicate that the fetal thymus and T lymphocyte are affected seriously by IUGR during late pregnancy, which may influence fetal immunity capability and postnatal health.
