Abstract
- Bacteria or viral outbreaks can cause tilapia hemorrhage, ensuring considerable volume of hemoglobin (Hb) into the tissue. However, the hemoglobin toxicity on tissue and high doses also effect on tissue this phenomena is still under consideration. Therefore, current study exploited Nile tilapia kidney (NTK) cells to deeply expose the toxic effect of Hb on NTK cells. Toxicity of Hb on NTK cells was determined in terms of cells growth, expression of iron metabolism and inflammation-related genes, consequently examined antioxidant-related enzymes genes expression, intracellular iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) contents, and apoptosis-related genes expression. The results showed that Hb and heme significantly inhibited NTK cells growth and up-regulated iron metabolism-related genes expression in different degrees. The Hb and heme activated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β, interleukin 1β; IL-6, interleukin 6), the anti-inflammatory factor (IL-10, interleukin 10) and the chemotactic factors (IL-4, interleukin 4; IL-8, interleukin 8) through NF-κB pathway, meanwhile activated the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Moreover, the Hb significantly increased intracellular iron and ROS contents while the expression of apoptosis-related genes was significantly activated by both Hb and heme. Current investigation suggested that high oxidative activity of Hb could activate iron metabolism- and inflammation-related genes expression, and increase intracellular iron and ROS levels, lead to up-regulated the expression of apoptosis genes in NTK cells. • Hb promoted the expression of inflammation-related genes. • Hb activated the expression of genes related to iron metabolism. • Hb enhanced the expression of antioxidant-related genes. • Hb increased intracellular iron and ROS contents. • Hb activated the expression of apoptosis-related genes.
