FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 144:109282. [PMID: 38081442 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus carrying a pathogenic plasmid (VPAHPND) is one of the main causative agents of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp aquaculture. Knowledge about the mechanism of shrimp resistant to VPAHPND is very helpful for developing efficient strategy for breeding AHPND resistant shrimp. In order to learn the mechanism of shrimp resistant to AHPND, comparative transcriptome was applied to analyze the different expressions of genes in the hepatopancreas of shrimp from different families with different resistance to VPAHPND. Through comparative analysis on the hepatopancreas of shrimp from VPAHPND resistant family and susceptible family, we found that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly involved in immune and metabolic processes. Most of the immune-related genes among DEGs were highly expressed in the hepatopancreas of shrimp from resistant family, involved in recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, phagocytosis and elimination of pathogens, maintenance of reactive oxygen species homeostasis and other immune processes etc. However, most metabolic-related genes were highly expressed in the hepatopancreas of shrimp from susceptible family, involved in metabolism of lipid, vitamin, cofactors, glucose, carbohydrate and serine. Interestingly, when we analyzed the expression of above DEGs in the shrimp after VPAHPND infection, we found that the most of identified immune-related genes remained at high expression levels in the hepatopancreas of shrimp from the VPAHPND resistant family, and most of the identified metabolic-related genes were still at high expression levels in the hepatopancreas of shrimp from the VPAHPND susceptible family. The data suggested that the differential expression of these immune-related and metabolic-related genes in hepatopancreas might contribute to the resistance variations of shrimp to VPAHPND. These results provided valuable information for understanding the resistant mechanism of shrimp to VPAHPND.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2016; 31:211-223.

Abstract
Due to a lack of information on the assessment of uranium's (U) toxicity, our work aimed to compare the effects of U on the crayfish Procambarus clarkii with those of the well documented metal: cadmium (Cd). Accumulation and impacts at different levels of biological organization were assessed after acute (40 µM Cd or U; 4-10 days) and chronic (0.1 µM Cd or U; 30-60 days) exposures. The survival rates demonstrated the high tolerance of this species toward both metals and showed that Cd had a greater effect on the sustainability of crayfish. The concentration levels of Cd and U accumulated in gills and hepatopancreas were compared between both conditions. Distinctions in the adsorption capacities and the mobility of the contaminants were suspected. Differences in the detoxification mechanisms of both metals using transmission electron microscopy equiped with an energy dispersive X-ray were also pointed out. In contrast, comparison between the histological structures of contaminated hepatopancreas showed similar symptoms. Principal component analyses revealed different impacts of each metal on the oxidative balance and mitochondria using enzymatic activities and gene expression levels as endpoints. The observation that U seemed to generate more oxidative stress than Cd in our conditions of exposure is discussed.

Abstract
The whiteleg shrimp species Litopenaeus vannamei is exposed to cyclic changes of the dissolved oxygen concentration of seawater and must neutralize the adverse effects of hypoxia by using ATP as energy source. In crustaceans, the mitochondrial FOF1-ATP synthase is pivotal to the homeostasis of ATP and function prevalently as a FOF1-ATPase. Hitherto, it is unknown whether these marine invertebrates are equipped with molecules able to control the FOF1-ATPase inhibiting the ATP consumption. In this study, we report two variants of the mitochondrial FOF1-ATPase Inhibitory Factor 1 (IF1) ubiquitously expressed across tissues of the Litopenaeus vannamei transcriptome: the IF1_Lv1 and the IF1_Lv2. The IF1_Lv1, with a full-length sequence of 550 bp, encodes a 104 aa long protein and its mRNA amounts are significantly affected by hypoxia and re-oxygenation. The IF1_Lv2, with a sequence of 654 bp, encodes instead for a protein of 85 aa. Both proteins share a 69 % homology and contain a conserved minimal inhibitory sequence (IATP domain) along with a G-rich region on their N-terminus typical of the invertebrate. In light of this characterization IF1 is here discussed as an adaptive mechanism evolved by this marine species to inhibit the FOF1-ATPase activity and avoid ATP dissipation to thrive in spite of the changes in oxygen tension.

The nuclear encoded subunits gamma, delta and epsilon from the shrimp mitochondrial F1-ATP synthase, and their transcriptional response during hypoxia. J Bioenerg Biomembr 2015; 47:223-34.

Abstract
The mitochondrial FOF1 ATP synthase produces ATP in a reaction coupled to an electrochemical proton gradient generated by the electron transfer chain. The enzyme also hydrolyzes ATP according to the energy requirements of the organism. Shrimp need to overcome low oxygen concentrations in water and other energetic stressors, which in turn lead to mitochondrial responses. The aim of this study was to characterize the full-length cDNA sequences of three subunits that form the central stalk of the F1 catalytic domain of the ATP synthase of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and their deduced proteins. The effect of hypoxia on shrimp was also evaluated by measuring changes in the mRNA amounts of these subunits. The cDNA sequences of the nucleus-encoded ATPγ, ATPδ and ATPε subunits are 1382, 477 and 277 bp long, respectively. The three deduced amino acid sequences exhibited highly conserved regions when compared to homologous sequences, and specific substitutions found in shrimp subunits are discussed through an homology structural model of F1 ATP-synthase that included the five deduced proteins, which confirm their functional structures and specific characteristics from the cognate complex of ATP synthases. Genes expression was evaluated during hypoxia-reoxygenation, and resulted in a generalized down-regulation of the F1 subunits and no coordinated changes were detected among these five subunits. The reduced mRNA levels suggest a mitochondrial response to an oxidative stress event, similar to that observed at ischemia-reperfusion in mammals. This model analysis and responses to hypoxia-reoxygenation may help to better understand additional mitochondrial adaptive mechanisms.

Abstract
The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX) catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water playing a key role in the respiratory chain and ATP synthesis. The nucleus-encoded COX subunits do not participate in catalysis, but some are known to play a role in the expression, assembly and activity of the enzyme. Since hypoxia continuously affects the shrimp environment, it is important to study COX to understand their ability to deal with low oxygen levels. The goal of this research was to characterize the complementary DNA (cDNA) sequences of three nucleus-encoded subunits -coxIV, coxVa, and coxVb- and to evaluate the shrimp COX response to hypoxia by measuring their gene expression. The cDNA sequence of coxIV consisted of 532bp, which encodes a 17.47kDa protein, while coxVa cDNA consisted of 460bp and coded a protein of 17.11kDa, and the coxVb coding sequence consisted of 364bp encoding a 13.74kDa protein. Shrimp subunits do not have isoforms, and they are not differentially expressed during hypoxia, as observed in mammals. Coordinated changes were detected in the mRNA amounts of nuclear and mitochondrial subnits; these changes, at the transcriptional level, are suggested to be controlled through transcriptional factors Sp1 and NRF2.

Shrimp ATP synthase genes complement yeast null mutants for ATP hydrolysis but not synthesis activity. Mol Biol Rep 2012; 39:9791-9.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of employing a yeast functional complementation assay for shrimp genes by using the shrimp mitochondrial F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase enzyme complex as a model. Yeast mutants defective in this complex are typically respiratory-deficient and cannot grow on non-fermentable carbon sources such as glycerol, allowing easy verification of functional complementation by yeast growth on media with them as the only carbon source. We cloned the previous published sequence of ATP2 (coding for ATP synthase β subunit) from the Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei (Pv) and also successfully amplified a novel PvATP3 (coding for the ATP synthase γ subunit). Analysis of the putative amino acid sequence of PvATP3 revealed a significant homology with the ATP synthase γ subunit of crustaceans and insects. Complementation assays were performed using full-length ATP2 and ATP3 as well as a chimeric form of ATP2 containing a leader peptide sequence from yeast and a mature sequence from shrimp. However, the shrimp genes were unable to complement the growth of respective yeast mutants on glycerol medium, even though transcriptional expression of the shrimp genes from plasmid-borne constructs in the transformed yeast cells was confirmed by RT-PCR. Interestingly, both PvATP2 and PvATP3 suppressed the lethality of the yeast F(1) mutants after the elimination of mitochondrial DNA, which suggests the assembly of a functional F(1) complex necessary for the maintenance of membrane potential in the ρ(0) state. These data suggest an incompatibility of the shrimp/yeast chimeric F(1)-ATPase with the stalk and probably also the F(0) sectors of the ATP synthase, which is essential for coupled energy transduction and ATP synthesis.

Abstract
The main objectives of this study were to evaluate uranium (U) toxicity in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii at a low dose of exposure and to discriminate between the chemotoxicity and radiotoxicity of U. We conducted two sets of experiments using either 30 μg L(-1) of depleted uranium (DU) or (233)U, which differ from each other only in their specific activity (DU=1.7×10(4)Bqg(-1), (233)U=3.57×10(8)Bqg(-1)). The endpoints were oxidative stress responses and mitochondrial functioning in the gills and hepatopancreas, which were measured in terms of enzyme activities and gene expression levels. U accumulation levels were measured in different organs (gills, hepatopancreas, stomach, intestine, green gland, muscles, and carapace), and internal dose rates in the hepatopancreas were compared after DU and (233)U exposures. Significant U accumulation occurred in the organs of P. clarkii, and mitochondrial damage and antioxidant responses were detected. Despite the huge difference (21,000×) in the specific activities of DU and (233)U, few significant differences in biological responses were detected in P. clarkii exposed to these two pollutants. This finding indicates that the radiotoxicity was low compared to the chemotoxicity under our exposure conditions. Finally, genes expression levels were more sensitive markers of U toxicity than enzyme activities.

Abstract
In the mitochondrial F(O)F(1) ATP-synthase/ATPase complex, subunits α and β are part of the extrinsic portion that catalyses ATP synthesis. Since there are no reports about genes and proteins from these subunits in crustaceans, we analyzed the cDNA sequences of both subunits in the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and their phylogenetic relationships. We also investigated the effect of hypoxia on shrimp by measuring changes in the mRNA amounts of atpα and atpβ. Our results confirmed highly conserved regions for both subunits and underlined unique features among others. The ATPβ deduced protein of shrimp was less conserved in size and sequence than ATPα. The relative mRNA amounts of atpα and atpβ changed in shrimp pleopods; hypoxia at 1.5 mg/L caused an increase in atpβ transcripts and a subsequent decrease when shrimp were re-oxygenated. Results confirm that changes in the mRNAs of the ATP-synthase subunits are part of the mechanisms allowing shrimp to deal with the metabolic adjustment displayed to tolerate hypoxia.
