The study investigated the effects of dietary isoleucine (Ile) on skin mucus barrier and epithelial physical barrier functions of hybrid bagrid catfishPelteobagrus vachellixLeiocassis longirostris. A total of 630 fish (33.11 +/- 0.09 g) were fed semi-purified isonitrogenous diets containing 5.0 (control), 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, and 20.0 g Ile kg(-1)diet for 8 weeks. The results indicated that dietary Ile increased (P < 0.05) in skin (1) mucus protein content and antimicrobial activity against three gram-negative bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila,Escherichia coli, andYersinia ruckeri) and two gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus agalactiaeandStaphylococcus aureus), (2) mucus lysofew information is available about the influencezyme (LZM), acid phosphatase (ACP), and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities, and complement 3 and 4 (C3 and C4) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) contents, (3) intelectin 1 (intl1), intelectin 2 (intl2), c-type-lysozyme (c-LZM), g-type-lysozyme (g-LZM), and beta-defensin mRNA levels. Dietary Ile decreased (P < 0.05) reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonyl (PC) contents, and up-regulated (P < 0.05) CuZnSOD, GST, GPX1a, muc5ac, muc5b, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), zonula occludens-2 (ZO-2), occludin, and claudin 3 mRNA levels in skin. These results indicated that Ile improved skin mucus barrier function via increasing mucus protein, C3 and C4, and IgM contents and antibacterial factors activities, and promoted epithelial physical barrier function via decreasing skin antioxidant damage and improving tight junction structure in hybrid bagrid catfish.
