Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the alleviating effect of methionine (Met) on intestinal injury induced by nickel. The mice were divided into six groups: Met-deficient + nickel group (MDN), Met-deficient group (MD), Met + nickel group (MN), high-dose Met + nickel group (HMN), high-dose Met group (HM), and blank control group (BC). Histopathological techniques, Alcian blue-periodic acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and real-time PCR were used to study the changes of intestinal development, the number of goblet cells, and the intercellular junction. The results showed that Met can inhibit the intestinal villus length and crypt depth decreases induced by nickel and increase the index villus length and crypt depth (V/C), the number of goblet cells, and the content of diamine oxidase (DAO) and decrease the content of fatty acid binding protein2 (FABP2) and endotoxin (ET) of the intestinal mucosa damage parameters, and the mRNA expression of intercellular junction (occludin, ZO-1, claudin-1) was damaged. It is suggested that Met could help inhibit the toxic effect of nickel on the intestinal development and intercellular connection.
