Background: The n6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is present widely in mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and is related to the occurrence and development of certain diseases. However, the role of m6A methylation in infectious diarrhea remains unclear.
Methods: Here, we treated intestinal porcine jejunum epithelial cells (IPEC-J2 cells) with beta2 (CPB2) toxin to construct an model of infectious diarrhea, and then used methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify the methylation profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs in IPEC-J2 cells.
Results: We identified 6,413 peaks, representing 5,825 m6A-modified mRNAs and 433 modified lncRNAs, of which 4,356 m6A modified mRNAs and 221 m6A modified lncRNAs were significantly differential expressed between the control group and CPB2 group. The motif GGACU was enriched significantly in both the control group and the CPB2 group. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) annotation analysis showed that the differentially methylated modified mRNAs were mainly enriched in Hippo signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway. In addition, the target genes of the differentially m6A modified lncRNAs were related to defense response to virus and immune response. For example, , and might regulate the defense response to virus, immune and inflammatory response to resist the harmful effects of viruses on cells.
Conclusion: In summary, this study established the m6A transcription profile of mRNAs and lncRNAs in IPEC-J2 cells treated by CPB2 toxin. Further analysis showed that m6A-modified RNAs were related to defense against viruses and immune response after CPB2 toxin treatment of the cells. Threem6A-modified lncRNAs, , and , were most likely to play a key role in CPB2 toxin-treated IPEC-J2 cells. The results provide a theoretical basis for further research on the role of m6A modification in piglet diarrhea.

Pterostilbene (PTS), a methylated analog of resveratrol (RES), demonstrates superior bioavailability, potentially attributable to enhanced lipophilicity and cell membrane permeability compared to RES. However, this hypothesis lacked experimental validation. The objective of this study was to compare the lipophilicity, cell membrane permeability, and intracellular antioxidant capacity of RES and PTS.

Porcine sapovirus (PoSaV) is an emerging enteric pathogen in swine industry, primarily associated with diarrhea in weaning and post-weaning pigs. To date, eight genogroups of PoSaVs have been identified, with genogroup III (GIII) being the most prevalent worldwide. However, the isolation of field strains in various cell lines has achieved limited success, hindering progress in PoSaV research.

Citrinin (CTN), a mycotoxin commonly found in contaminated food and animal feed, impairs intestinal barrier integrity through oxidative stress and cytotoxicity. However, its link to ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, remains unclear. This study investigated whether CTN induces ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells and evaluated the protective role of (EH) against CTN-induced oxidative damage and tight junction (TJ) disruption.

Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) leads to severe diarrhea in piglets. Naringenin (Nar), a natural flavonoid compound, is known for its antibacterial and anti-antioxidant properties. However, the protective effects of Nar against ETEC-induced diarrhea have not been reported yet.

T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin are commonly found in agricultural products and animal feed, posing serious effects to both humans and animals. This study employed combination index (CI) modeling and metabolomics to assess the combined cytotoxic effects of T-2 and HT-2 on four porcine cell types: intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2), porcine Leydig cells (PLCs), porcine ear fibroblasts (PEFs), and porcine hepatocytes (PHs). Cell viability assays revealed a dose-dependent reduction in viability across all cell lines, with relative sensitivities in the order: IPEC-J2 > PLCs > PEFs > PHs.
