In the present study, we investigated the influence of weaning on antioxidant status, intestinal integrity, mitochondrial function, and the mitophagy level in piglets (weaned at 21 d) during the 1 wk after weaning. The redox status was measured by antioxidant enzymes activities, related genes expression, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in jejunum. The intestinal barrier function was assessed by the Ussing chamber and expression of tight junction proteins in the jejunum. The function of intestine mitochondria was measured by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and activities of mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation complexes. The levels of light chain 3-1 (LC3-I), light chain 3-II (LC3-II), PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), and Parkin were determined to investigate whether mitophagy is involved in the weaning process. The results showed that, as compared with the preweaning phase (d 0), weaning suppressed (P < 0.05) the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) on d 3 and d 7 postweaning, decreased (P < 0.05) the expression of copper and zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) on d 3 postweaning, declined (P < 0.05) the level of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX-1) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX-4) on d 3 and d 7 postweaning, and increased (P < 0.05) MDA content in jejunum on d 3 and d 7 postweaning. The jejunal transepithelial electrical resistance and levels of occludin, claudin-1, and zonula occludens-1 on d 3 and d 7 postweaning were reduced (P < 0.05), and paracellular flux of fluorescein isothiocyanatedextran (4 kDa) on d 3 and d 7 postweaning was increased (P < 0.05). Weaning induced mitochondrial dysfunction, as demonstrated by decreased (P < 0.05) content of mtDNA on d 3 and d 7 postweaning and declined (P < 0.05) activities of mitochondria complexes (I, II, III, IV) in jejunum on d 1, d 3, and d 7 postweaning. Weaning led to an increased (P < 0.05) expression level of mitophagy-related proteins, PINK1 and Parkin, in the intestinal mitochondria, as well as an enhancement (P < 0.05) of the ratio of LC3-II to LC3-I content in the jejunal mucosa on d 1, d 3, and d 7 postweaning. These results suggest that weaning disrupted intestinal oxidative balance, and this imbalance may impair intestinal barrier and mitochondrial function and trigger mitophagy in piglets.
