“…IntroductionRoad transportation exposes goats to thermal, mechanical, and microbial stressors that can compromise their welfare by triggering pulmonary apoptosis and autophagy processes associated with tissue damage and immunosuppression.MethodsTo explore potential biomarkers for transport-related welfare assessment, this study analyzed lung tissues from nine Ganxi goats (n = 9; 0 h control, 2 h/6 h transport groups) through an integrated experimental approach: TUNEL assays quantified apoptosis rates, immunohistochemistry mapped protein localization, Western blotting analyzed protein expression levels, and qPCR profiled gene expression of apoptotic regulators (Bax, Bcl-2) alongside autophagy-related markers (LC3B, p62, PINK1, Parkin).ResultsResults indicated time-dependent cellular stress patterns, where the 2 h group displayed elevated apoptosis rates, while the 6 h group exhibited upregulated Parkin expression (p &lt; 0.05) and altered regulation of apoptotic [Bcl-2-associated X-protein (Bax)/B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)] and autophagy-related genes (Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), p62, PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin). …”
