“…The promising effects reported in literatures for prebiotics administration in aquaculture (Carbone & Faggio, ; Daniels & Hoseinifar, ; Dawood & Koshio, ; Guerreiro et al., ; Munir, Hashim, Chai, Marsh & Nor, ; Ringø et al., ; Song et al., ; Talpur, Munir, Mary & Hashim, ) encouraged further research endeavours to explore the immune‐modulatory functions of these different types of dietary supplements (Ganguly, Dora, Sarkar & Chowdhury, ; Hoseinifar, Esteban et al., ; Newaj‐Fyzul & Austin, ; Reverter, Bontemps, Lecchini, Banaigs & Sasal, ). The present study was performed at the molecular level to investigate the effects of various prebiotics on the immune and antioxidant defence system in common carp.…”

The aim of the present study was to study the effects of different prebiotics (galacto‐, fructooligosaccharide and inulin) on immune response and oxidative stress of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings at the molecular level. A total number of 240 fish (13.85 ± 0.85 g) were supplied and randomly stocked in twelve fiberglass tanks (20 specimens per tank). Fish were fed a basal formulated diet (Control) or basal diet supplemented with equal level (2%) of different prebiotics (four treatments repeated in triplicated) for 8 weeks. At the end of feeding trial, the expression of immune‐related genes (interleukin 1 beta [IL‐1β], IL‐8, IL‐10, lysozyme [LYZ], tumour necrosis factor alpha [TNF‐α] and transforming growth factor beta [TGF‐β]) were determined in head kidney and intestine tissues and the expression of antioxidant‐related genes (glutathione S‐transferase [GST‐α], glutathione reductase [GR] and glutathione peroxidase genes [GPX]) were studied in intestine. The results revealed that dietary administration of prebiotics modulated the expression of immune‐related genes and the degree of expression was affected by the type of prebiotics and the organ that was used for analyses. Also, evaluation of antioxidant genes expression showed that GSTα and GR expression levels increased as a result of feeding common carp with the prebiotics. According to these findings, it can be concluded that feeding on different prebiotics had altered effects on the expression of immune and antioxidant‐related genes.

“…). However, there is limited studies regarding comparison of immunomodulatory effects of prebiotics (Grisdale‐Helland, Helland & Gatlin Iii ; Buentello, Neill & Gatlin ; Zhou, Buentello & Gatlin, ; Anguiano, Pohlenz, Buentello & Gatlin ; Talpur, Munir, Mary & Hashim ; Carbone & Faggio ; Guerreiro, Couto, Machado, Castro, Pousão‐Ferreira, Oliva‐Teles & Enes ; Munir, Hashim, Chai, Marsh & Nor ).…”

“…Indeed, recent studies showed that prebiotics have the potential to be used in intensive aquaculture as anti-stress and immunostimulant dietary supplement (Nayak 2010b;Dimitroglou et al 2011;Ringø, Olsen, Jensen, Romero & Lauzon 2014;Song et al 2014;Gatlin 2015;. However, there is limited studies regarding comparison of immunomodulatory effects of prebiotics (Grisdale-Helland, Helland & Gatlin Iii 2008;Buentello, Neill & Gatlin 2010;Zhou, Buentello & Gatlin, 2010;Anguiano, Pohlenz, Buentello & Gatlin 2013;Talpur, Munir, Mary & Hashim 2014;Carbone & Faggio 2016;Guerreiro, Couto, Machado, Castro, Pousão-Ferreira, Oliva-Teles & Enes 2016;Munir, Hashim, Chai, Marsh & Nor 2016).…”

Comparative study on immunomodulatory and growth enhancing effects of three prebiotics (galactooligosaccharide, fructooligosaccharide and inulin) in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

This study investigated the effects of different prebiotics, including galactooligosaccharide (GOS), fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin (INL), on skin mucosal immune parameters, humoral immune responses as well as performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Two hundred and forty specimens (13.85 ± 0.85 g) were stocked in 12 fibreglass tanks assigned into three treatments and a control group. The experimental diets were formulated to have equal level (2%) of the prebiotics. At the end of the feeding trial, the highest skin mucus lysozyme activities and total immunoglobulin (total Ig) were observed in GOS‐fed group (P < 0.05). However, skin mucus protease activity showed no significant difference among different dietary groups (P < 0.05). Blood respiratory burst activity was significantly increased in all prebiotic‐fed fish compared to the control group (P < 0.05); the highest activity was observed in GOS treatment. Furthermore, evaluation of humoral immune response revealed that feeding with GOS‐supplemented diet significantly increased lysozyme and alternative complement (ACH50) activity as well as total Ig compared to the control and other prebiotic groups. While no significant difference was observed between FOS and INL groups, common carps fed GOS‐supplemented displayed improved (P < 0.05) growth performance, including final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR), compared to the control treatment. These results revealed that different prebiotics modulate carp growth and immune response in different manner, and GOS seems to be the most suitable prebiotic.

“…Immunoglobulins are part of adaptive immune response, however, they are useful tool to evaluate the fish general immune status, as they show increase in the fish serum following dietary immunostimulant administration even without pathogenic challenge (Binaii et al., ; Cuesta, Meseguer & Esteban, ). Molecular immune response is another useful tool to monitor fish immune status in response to immunostimulant administration (Cerezuela et al., ; Esteban et al., ; Guardiola et al., ; Munir, Hashim, Chai, Marsh & Nor, ). A variety of cytokines are involved in teleosts immune regulation.…”

Evaluation of some intestinal cytokines genes expression and serum innate immune parameters in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fed dietary loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) leaf extract

The aim of this study was to illustrate the effects of dietary loquat leaf extract (LLE) on the expression of some intestinal cytokines as well as serum innate immune parameters in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings. The fish were fed with experimental diets supplemented with 0 (control), 0.25% (0.25LLE), 0.5% (0.5LLE) and 1% (1LLE) LLE over a 7-week period. At the end of the trial, the serum lysozyme (Lys) activity, ACH50, total Ig as well as the expression of IL1B, IL8, TNF-alpha, LYZ and TGF-b in intestine were evaluated. The results showed that administration of 0.5% or 1% LLE significantly increased serum total Ig. However, in case of serum Lys activity significant elevation was observed just in fish fed 0.5% LLE. Also, supplementation of diet with LLE significantly increased ACH50 compared to the control group, regardless of inclusion levels. Gene expression studies revealed upregulation of TNF-alpha, IL1B, IL8 and LYZ in intestine of fish fed LLE. However, the effects varied dependent on LLE levels and the tested immune related gene.Also, in case of TGF-b significant downregulation was observed just in 1% LLE treatment. In conclusion, dietary LLE supplementation significantly upregulated immune related genes in intestine and improves innate immune responses. Altogether, LLE can be recommended as fish immunostimulant in early stage of carp culture.
