The aim of the present study was to evaluate how long-term high-concentrate diet feeding affected rumen epithelium (RE) of dairy cows. So, 12 mid-lactating multiparous cows were divided into two groups randomly fed either with high-concentrate diet (HC, concentrate: forage = 6: 4) or low-concentrate diet (LC, concentrate: forage = 4:6) for 20 weeks. Remarkable upregulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) level and depress of pH in rumen fluid were induced by HC compared with LC group. mRNA abundance of  interleukin-6  ( IL-6 ),  interleukin-8  ( IL-8 ),  C-C motif chemokine ligand 5  ( CCL5 ),  caspase-3 ,  caspase-8,  and  caspase-9  were elevated in RE of HC group compared with LC group. Greater protein abundance of phosphorylated NF-κB p65, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) was observed in RE of cows fed HC than that fed LC. Abundance of protein related to proapoptotic response (cytochrome c, BAX and caspase-3) in HC group was greater than that in LC group, while the abundance of anti-apoptotic factor protein (Bcl-2) was lower in HC group than LC group. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that long-term high-concentrate diet feeding upregulated LPS level in rumen fluid and induced the proinflammatory response in the rumen epithelium and apoptosis of rumen epithelial cells.
