Abstract：
:The purpose of this research was to discuss the effects of copper (Cu)-induced toxicity on oxidative stress and autophagy in hypothalamus of broilers. In this study, 240 one-day-old broilers were randomly divided into 4 groups and the contents of dietary Cu in 4 groups were 11 mg/kg (control group), 110 mg/kg (group I), 220 mg/kg (group II), and 330 mg/kg (group III). The experiment lasted for 49 days and the hypothalamus tissues were collected for histological observation and detection of Cu content. Additionally, the indicators related to oxidative stress in hypothalamus were determined. Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of autophagy-related genes and the protein expression levels of Beclin1, LC3-II/LC3-I, and p62 in hypothalamus were measured. Results showed that the treated groups were observed vacuolar degeneration in hypothalamus compared to control group, and the Cu content in hypothalamus was increased with the increase of dietary Cu. Furthermore, the activities of SOD, CAT, T-AOC were increased in group I and group II and then decreased in group III, and the content of MDA and the mRNA levels of Nrf2, HO-1, SOD-1, CAT, GCLC, GCLM, and GST in treated groups were elevated compared to control group. Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of Beclin1, Atg5, LC3-I, LC3-II and the protein expression levels of Beclin1 and LC3-II/LC3-I up-regulated significantly with the increasing levels of Cu. However, the mRNA expression levels of p62 and mTOR and the protein expression level of p62 down-regulated remarkably. Taken together, our present study evidenced that excessive intake of Cu could induce oxidative stress and autophagy in hypothalamus of broilers.
