摘要: Astragaloside IV (ASIV) has effects of antioxidation and immunologic enhancement. However, there are few reports on the application and potential mechanism of ASIV in aquaculture. In this study, we investigated the effect of ASIV on growth, antioxidation, and immune function of tilapia. Tilapia were fed a diet containing 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 g center dot kg(-1) ASIV for 60 days, followed by an intrapleural injection of 50 mg center dot kg(-1) cyclophosphamide (CTX) to induce oxidative damage and immunosuppression. Then tilapia were weighed and blood, liver, spleen, kidney, and intestinal were collected. The results showed ASIV increased the final weight, relative weight rate, and specific growth rate of tilapia, reduce conversion ratio, and reduced the morphological lesions of tissues. Meanwhile, ASIV alleviated CTX-induced oxidative damage by improving antioxidant activity in serum and tissues and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Additionally, ASIV attenuated the immunosuppression of tilapia caused by CTX, regulated immunochemical indexes in serum, increased the viability of peripheral blood leukocytes and head kidney macrophages, and restored respiratory burst activity (O-2(-)) in head kidney macrophages and splenocytes. Furthermore, qPCR data showed ASIV up-regulated antioxidant-related gene expression of nrf2, ho-1, gpx3, and cat and immune-related gene expression including C3 and igm. In conclusion, ASIV as a feed additive can not only improve the growth performance but also enhance the antioxidant capacity and immune function of tilapia, which may be associated with the ability of ASIV to scavenge free radicals, reduce lipid peroxidation levels, and stabilize numbers of immune cells.
