Autophagy is a catabolic process aimed at recycling cellular components and damaged organelles in response to diverse stress conditions. There are two autophagy-modifying agents, rapamycin (RAPA) and chloroquine (CQ), that are often used in vitro and in vivo to regulate this process. We speculated that the regulation of autophagy may have some effect on weaning pressure. In this study, we try to understand the role of autophagy in intestinal barrier function and inflammation during the first week after weaning. We examined the effects of modulation of autophagy via RAPA and CQ on growth performance, immunity, inflammation profile, and the intestinal barrier to find potential value for CQ as a feed additive agent for ameliorating weaning stress.</p></sec><sec><title>Abstract</title><p>Early weaning stress impairs the development of gastrointestinal barrier function, causing immune system dysfunctions, reduction in feed intake, and growth retardation. Autophagy was hypothesized to be a key underlying cellular process in these dysfunctions. We conjectured that rapamycin (RAPA) and chloroquine (CQ), as two autophagy-modifying agents, regulate the autophagy process and may produce deleterious or beneficial effects on intestinal health and growth. To explore the effect of autophagy on early weaning stress in piglets, 18 early-weaned piglets were assigned to three treatments (each treatment of six piglets) and treated with an equal volume of RAPA, CQ, or saline. The degree of autophagy and serum concentrations of immunoglobulins and cytokines, as well as intestinal morphology and tight junction protein expression, were evaluated. Compared with the control treatment, RAPA-treated piglets exhibited activated autophagy and had decreased final body weight (BW) and average daily gain (ADG) (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05), impaired intestinal morphology and tight junction function, and higher inflammatory responses. The CQ-treated piglets showed higher final BW, ADG, jejuna and ileal villus height, and lower autophagy and inflammation, compared with control piglets (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05). Throughout the experiment, CQ treatment was beneficial to alleviate early weaning stress and intestinal and immune system dysfunction.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Kick, A R" uniqKey="Kick A">A.R.

Autophagy is a catabolic process aimed at recycling cellular components and damaged organelles in response to diverse stress conditions. There are two autophagy-modifying agents, rapamycin (RAPA) and chloroquine (CQ), that are often used in vitro and in vivo to regulate this process. We speculated that the regulation of autophagy may have some effect on weaning pressure. In this study, we try to understand the role of autophagy in intestinal barrier function and inflammation during the first week after weaning. We examined the effects of modulation of autophagy via RAPA and CQ on growth performance, immunity, inflammation profile, and the intestinal barrier to find potential value for CQ as a feed additive agent for ameliorating weaning stress.</p></sec><sec><title>Abstract</title><p>Early weaning stress impairs the development of gastrointestinal barrier function, causing immune system dysfunctions, reduction in feed intake, and growth retardation. Autophagy was hypothesized to be a key underlying cellular process in these dysfunctions. We conjectured that rapamycin (RAPA) and chloroquine (CQ), as two autophagy-modifying agents, regulate the autophagy process and may produce deleterious or beneficial effects on intestinal health and growth. To explore the effect of autophagy on early weaning stress in piglets, 18 early-weaned piglets were assigned to three treatments (each treatment of six piglets) and treated with an equal volume of RAPA, CQ, or saline. The degree of autophagy and serum concentrations of immunoglobulins and cytokines, as well as intestinal morphology and tight junction protein expression, were evaluated. Compared with the control treatment, RAPA-treated piglets exhibited activated autophagy and had decreased final body weight (BW) and average daily gain (ADG) (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05), impaired intestinal morphology and tight junction function, and higher inflammatory responses. The CQ-treated piglets showed higher final BW, ADG, jejuna and ileal villus height, and lower autophagy and inflammation, compared with control piglets (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05). Throughout the experiment, CQ treatment was beneficial to alleviate early weaning stress and intestinal and immune system dysfunction.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>autophagy</kwd><kwd>chloroquine</kwd><kwd>mucosal barrier</kwd><kwd>weaning stress</kwd><kwd>rapamycin</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec1-animals-10-00290"><title>1. Introduction</title><p>The process of weaning is one of the most stressful events in a pig’s life. It involves exposure to physiological, environmental, and social challenges, leading to intestinal and immune system dysfunctions, which reduces feed intake, thereby producing deleterious effects on overall growth and health [<xref rid="B1-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>,<xref rid="B2-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="B3-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. It is well known that maturation of the gastrointestinal epithelial and immune system is a gradual process that approaches completion at around 10 to 12 weeks. However, in commercial pig production, weaning is abrupt, occurring early (between 14 and 30 days of age) [<xref rid="B3-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. The piglet must adapt abruptly from a liquid milk diet, which is highly digestible and palatable, to a solid dry diet, which is considerably less digestible and palatable. This change results in anatomical and physiological changes to the intestine, thus further affecting intestinal barrier function and absorptive capacity [<xref rid="B4-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>,<xref rid="B5-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. With the disruption of the intestinal barrier, toxins, bacteria, and feed-associated antigens can cross the epithelium, and pro-inflammatory cytokines are activated, then resulting in malabsorption, diarrhea, and poor growth performance [<xref rid="B2-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="B6-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>].</p><p>Autophagy is a catabolic process aimed at recycling cellular components and damaged organelles in response to diverse stress conditions [<xref rid="B7-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="B8-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>], such as nutrient deprivation, viral infection, and genotoxic stress. It is upregulated by cellular stressors, to enhance cell survival [<xref rid="B9-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="B10-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. Our previous studies demonstrated that autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining intestinal epithelial cell homeostasis under deoxynivalenol toxin stress [<xref rid="B11-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. Loss of autophagy, induced by knockout of the ATG5 gene, heightened stress reactions via the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [<xref rid="B10-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. It has also recently been revealed that the autophagy pathway and its proteins have a central role in controlling other aspects of immunity and inflammation. They keep a balance of the beneficial and detrimental effects on immunity and inflammation, and thereby protect against infectious, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases [<xref rid="B12-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="B13-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="B14-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>].</p><p>It is therefore of interest, in the context of piglet weaning, to understand the role of autophagy in intestinal barrier function and inflammatory response during the first week after weaning. Rapamycin (RAPA) and chloroquine (CQ), autophagy-modifying agents, are often used in vitro and in vivo to regulate this process [<xref rid="B15-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="B16-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. RAPA, a specific inhibitor of the mechanistic target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, can enhance autophagy by inducing the microtubule-associated protein’s light chain 3 (LC3) flux in vivo and in vitro [<xref rid="B17-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. It has been demonstrated that treating zebrafish embryos by RAPA severely affects the development of the digestive tract, resulting in developmental delay [<xref rid="B18-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Chloroquine (CQ) and its derivatives have been widely used to inhibit autophagy in vitro with the benefit of relatively low toxicity. CQ, a lysosomal inhibitor, has been shown to reverse autophagy by accumulating in lysosomes and disturbing the vacuolar H<sup>+</sup>ATPase; this enzyme is responsible for lysosomal acidification and blocking autophagy in cell and animal models [<xref rid="B16-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. In the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine colitis model, CQ administration significantly retarded colon length shortening, inflammatory cell infiltration, tissue damage, and body weight loss [<xref rid="B19-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. Based on previous study, we hypothesized that RAPA-overactivated autophagy produced deleterious effects on intestinal health and growth, while CQ partially inhibited autophagy that would ameliorate negative effects of weaned stress and improve production efficiency. In this study, the effects of modulation of autophagy via these two agents on the growth performance, immunity, inflammation profile, and the intestinal barrier were determined after the 14-day postweaning experiment. Thus we were able to assess their potential value as feed supplements for ameliorating weaning stress.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-animals-10-00290"><title>2.

Discussion</title><p>Investigations are currently underway to develop effective methods to minimize adverse effects of weaning stress. We explored the role of autophagy in regulating weaning stress by using two autophagy-modifying agents, RAPA and CQ [<xref rid="B16-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>], which are often used in vivo and in vitro, to modulate autophagy. We found that RAPA activated autophagy, producing deleterious effects on growth and health. In contrast, CQ inhibited autophagy, ameliorating negative effects and improving production efficiency.</p><p>To further investigate the underlying mechanisms, we evaluated the intestinal function and inflammatory response. In the intestinal mucosa, morphology and tight junction status reflect digestion and absorption of nutrients as well as permeability [<xref rid="B29-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. The RAPA-treated piglets exhibited significantly impaired permeability and nutrient transport, resulting in reduction of growth performance. Compared to the control piglets, the addition of CQ during the early-weaning period ameliorated intestinal dysfunction as indicated by villus height and tight junction protein expression. Beyond the analysis of tight junction proteins, levels of another two intestinal permeability indicators [<xref rid="B2-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>] were recorded. D-lactate is a product released by many microflorae residing in the gastrointestinal tract and DAO is synthesized only via intestinal villi [<xref rid="B30-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>]. The RAPA treatment had significantly higher permeability, whereas the CQ-treated piglets had lower levels of D-lactate and better barrier function. These results indicate that piglets experienced excessive autophagy during the weaning period due to RAPA supplement-induced deleterious effects on intestinal development [<xref rid="B19-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="B31-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. This may be associated with autophagy-dependent cell death in intestinal epithelial cells, known as type 2 cell death [<xref rid="B13-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="B32-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>]. Conversely, decreased autophagy, following supplementation with CQ, was beneficial to intestinal morphology and barrier function [<xref rid="B29-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>].</p><p>We conclude that increased intestinal permeability indicates impaired barrier function and that increased uncontrolled passage of substances through the barrier causes increased inflammatory responses [<xref rid="B33-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Indeed, RAPA-treated piglets with disrupted intestinal integrity showed higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, compared to the control treatment. Addition of CQ slightly alleviated the inflammatory response, with lower pro-inflammatory cytokines. Meanwhile, inflammatory cells release a number of ROS at the site of inflammation, leading to aggravation of oxidative stress, in turn, its product also enhances the pro-inflammatory response [<xref rid="B11-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. To alleviate the damage caused by oxidative stress, the host forms the first line of the defense system, composed of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD and GSH-Px, against the deleterious effect of free radicals [<xref rid="B5-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. Higher antioxidant contents may contribute to beneficial health effects on anti-inflammation and oxidative stress [<xref rid="B4-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Higher levels of antioxidants in serum of CQ-treated piglets indicated that the reduced inflammation was associated with better antioxidant status. CQ has also been extensively used for decades as a drug to mediate autophagy [<xref rid="B16-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. Alongside its antimalarial activity, it may affect multiple cellular processes, including cellular stress response, antigen presentation, and oxidative stress response [<xref rid="B34-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>]. These effects may contribute to the alleviation of the weaning stress response in piglets. The results from previous studies showed CQ promoted injury recovery by preventing the degradation of the autophagic and ubiquitinated protein and inhibiting autophagy-associated inflammation [<xref rid="B33-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>,<xref rid="B35-animals-10-00290" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="sec5-animals-10-00290"><title>5. Conclusions</title><p>In conclusion, the inhibition of autophagy by CQ can help weaned piglets maintain intestinal mucosal homeostasis via improving intestinal morphology and barrier function, and decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, which produces better antioxidant status. These results support the hypothesis that CQ partially inhibited autophagy. This would ameliorate the negative effects of weaned stress, which provide references for the regulation of ameliorating early weaning stress in piglets.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>We thank Key Laboratory of Agro-ecological Processes in Subtropical Region for kindly helping lab analysis in this study.</p></ack><notes><title>Author Contributions</title><p>Conceptualization, Y.T., B.T., and Y.Y.; methodology, S.L.; software, S.Z., and X.L.; validation, Q.G., S.L. and M.Q.; formal analysis, S.T. and M.C.; investigation, S.L. and M.C.; resources, J.L.; data curation, Y.Y.; writing—original draft preparation, S.L.; writing—review and editing, Y.T., B.T. and P.S.
