摘要: 生物体内源性的昼夜节律使其能够预测周边环境周期性的变化,使机体的内在代谢和周边环境保持一致。在禽类卵泡的成熟、排卵和蛋的形成过程中,不同生理进程在时间上的吻合显示了机体自身以及机体与环境之间的协调统一。动物对营养物质的摄入、内分泌激素的生成、能量代谢等一系列的行为和生理过程都有生物钟参与调控。文章从光照和营养两种因素入手,综述了生物钟在神经内分泌、能量摄入和能量代谢中的调控作用,揭示了蛋鸡的排卵和产蛋机制。1.光信号通过调控生物钟影响下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴(HPG轴),从而调控机体的繁殖活动。在光信号刺激下,位于禽类视交叉上核(SCN)和松果体的中枢生物钟作用于下丘脑,使下丘脑定时性释放促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)和促性腺激素抑制激素(GnIH),GnRH和GnIH继而作用于垂体调节释放促性腺激素-促黄体生成素(LH)和促卵泡激素(FSH),卵巢中存在的外周生物钟接受中枢的同步化信号来维持生物节律,促使禽类的卵泡成熟和定时排卵;2.除了受到HPG的神经内分泌调控之外,蛋鸡的排卵-产蛋过程还受到机体能量代谢的影响。中枢和外周的生物钟基因能够调控食欲调节系统,从而影响能量摄入;生物钟能够通过调控代谢过程中重要限速酶的表达、整合核受体和营养信号蛋白、调节代谢感受器和代谢物、影响肠道微生物等途径来调节能量代谢,影响卵黄前体物质的合成、转运和沉积;禽类松果体分泌的褪黑素可通过介导降钙素、甲状旁腺素(PTH)及雌激素分泌,节律性地调节体内钙代谢,影响蛋壳的形成。能量摄入的时间和行为、机体能量代谢和能量状态也可以通过腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α(PPARα)等一些与食欲调控和能量代谢相关的细胞因子反过来调控生物钟。营养-生物钟-能量代谢三者之间相互作用,使生物体适应环境的能力增强,能量利用达到最优。因此,通过调整进食时间和食物组分(如饲料能量水平和钙水平),能够改变能量代谢从而调节生物钟的功能。将环境(光照管理)和营养(饲喂时间、饲料配方)综合研究并加以运用,使机体生物钟成为连接外部环境信号和内部能量代谢的纽带,既能响应外界环境刺激,又能同时调控机体能量代谢进程,从而使各项生理功能得到更好地发挥,这将为蛋鸡的产蛋调控机制研究提供新的视角。

Abstract: The endogenous circadian rhythm enables the organisms to predict the changes of environmental cycle, which maintains consistency between body metabolism and the external environment. During the maturation of follicular, ovulation, and the formation of egg in birds, the coincidence of the different physiological processes in time shows the unity of the body itself and the coordination between the body and the environment. Biological clock participates in a series of behavior and physiological processes such as nutrition intake, the production of endocrine hormones and energy metabolism. In the present review, the role of biological clock in neuroendocrine, energy intake and energy metabolism has been discussed, from the points of light factor and nutrition factor, to reveal the potential regulating mechanism underlying ovulation and egg laying of hens. (1) Light signal acts on hypothalamic- pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) by regulating the biological clock to influence reproductive activities. Under the stimulation of light, the central clocks in suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and pineal act on hypothalamus, and make it to release gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin inhibitory hormones (GnIH) periodically. GnRH and GnIH then act on pituitary, and make it to release gonadotropin hormone, that is luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Periphery clocks in ovary receive the central synchronization signal to maintain the biological rhythm, thereby regulating the maturation of follicles and ovulation. (2) In addition to being regulated by the neuroendocrine system of HPG axis, the ovulation-egg production process of laying hens is also affected by the body's energy metabolism. The central and peripheral clock genes regulate the appetite regulation system and thus affect energy intake; Biological clock can regulate the expression of key enzymes in the process of metabolism, integrate the nuclear receptors and nutrition signaling proteins, regulate metabolism sensors and metabolites, affect gut microbes to regulate energy metabolism, and affect the synthesis, transport and deposition of yolk precursor; Melatonin secreted by bird's pineal can regulate calcium metabolism rhythmically by mediating the secretion of calcitonin, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and estrogen, and influence the formation of egg shell. The time and the behavior of energy intake, the body energy metabolism and energy status can also modulate biological clock, through some appetite regulation and energy metabolism related cytokines such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors α (PPARα). There are interactions between nutrient, biological clock and energy metabolism, which accommodate organisms with the surrounding and optimize the energy utilization. Therefore, by adjusting the time of eating and the composition of feed (such as the energy level of feed and calcium level), energy metabolism can be changed to regulate the function of the biological clock. In conclusion, it will provide a new perspective for researching regulation mechanism of egg laying, if we make an integrated study on environment factor (light management) and nutrition (feeding time and feed formula) in which biological clock linked external factors and internal energy metabolism, that is, biological clock can both response to environmental stimuli, and regulate the body's energy metabolism process, to optimize the various physiological functions.
