Abstract

Chicken heterophils responds to microbial invasions by utilizing innately equipped-intracellular and extracellular killing mechanisms. The objective of this research was to study the effects of quercetin (QH) on chicken heterophil effector functions, namely; ROS generation, phagocytosis & bacterial killing, and Heterophil Extracellular Traps (HETs). To conduct the experiments, BM-derived heterophils were fi rst primed with 50 μM QH for 30 min and subsequently stimulated with PMA. The results showed that ROS molecules were remarkably increased in QH-primed group (p=0.005) whereas quercetin slightly suppressed phagocytosis of fl uorescent labeling of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) (p=0.62). Supplementation of quercetin aided heterophils in killing of live SE more effi ciently than PBS (p=0.04). Extracellular killing was assessed by enumeration of HETs. The observation of HET structures obviously revealed that the QH-primed cells had note worthy HET-DNA release (p=0.007). Taken together, 50 μM of quercetin supplementation enhances functional activities of heterophils in the killing of bacteria
