Ex vivo and in vitro poultry intestinal models to evaluate antimycotoxins additives

Zusammenfassung: | In vitro tests are performed to evaluate the efficacy of antimycotoxins additives (AMAs); nevertheless, such assays show a low correlation with in vivo trials, which are also required to determine AMAs’ efficacy. In search of an alternative method, the current study investigated the use of an ex vivo technique. Six AMAs (AMA1 to AMA6) had their ability to reduce intestinal absorption of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) evaluated. Jejunal explants were obtained from broilers and subjected to two treatments per AMA in Ussing chambers: T1 (control) - 2.8 mg/L AFB1, and T2 - 2.8 mg/L AFB1 + 0.5% AMA. AMAs were also tested in vitro to assess adsorption of AFB1 in artificial intestinal fluid. In the ex vivo studies, AMA1 to AMA6 decreased intestinal absorption of AFB1 by 67.11%, 73.82%, 80.70%, 85.86%, 86.28% and 82.32%, respectively. As for the in vitro results, AMA1 to AMA6 presented an adsorption of 99.72%, 99.37%, 99.67%, 99.53%, 99.04% and 99.15%, respectively. The evaluated ex vivo model proved useful in the assessment of AMAs. No correlation was reported between ex vivo and in vitro findings. Further studies are needed to elucidate the correlation between ex vivo and in vivo results seeking to reduce animal testing.
RESUMO: Testes in vitro são realizados para avaliar a eficácia de aditivos antimicotoxinas (AAMs); entretanto, tais experimentos apresentam uma baixa correlação com ensaios in vivo, que também são exigidos para determinar a eficácia de AAMs. Em busca de um método alternativo, o presente estudo investigou o uso de uma técnica ex vivo. A capacidade de seis AAMs (AAM1 a AAM6) de reduzir a absorção intestinal de aflatoxina B1 (AFB1) foi avaliada. Explantes jejunais foram coletados de frangos de corte e submetidos a dois tratamentos por AAM em câmaras de Ussing: T1 (controle) - 2,8 mg/L AFB1, e T2 - 2.8 mg/L AFB1 + 0,5% AAM. Os AAMs também foram testados in vitro para verificar a adsorção de AFB1 em fluido intestinal artificial. Nos ensaios ex vivo, AAM1 ao AAM6 diminuíram a absorção intestinal de AFB1 em 67,11%, 73,82%, 80,70%, 85,86%, 86,28% e 82,32%, respectivamente. Quanto aos achados in vitro, AAM1 ao AAM6 apresentaram adsorção de 99,72%, 99,37%, 99,67%, 99,53%, 99,04% e 99,15%, respectivamente. O modelo ex vivo avaliado mostrou-se eficiente na avaliação de AAMs. Não houve correlação entre os resultados ex vivo e in vitro. Estudos adicionais são necessários para definir a correlação entre achados ex vivo e in vivo na tentativa de reduzir os testes em anima |
