He Z, Yang C, Jiang D, Wang X, Xing Z, Yu S, Yang Q, Wang L. The expression profile of a multi-stress inducible transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. FISH AND SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY REPORTS 2022; 3:100064. [PMID: 36419610 PMCID: PMC9680104 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsirep.2022.100064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
CgTRPV4 with typical structural characteristics was indentified from Crassostrea gigas. CgTRPV4 was located in both endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic membrane of oyster haemocytes. CgTRPV4 mRNA was ubiquitously expressed with the highest level in gill. The expression of CgTRPV4 mRNA was significantly up-regulated after high temperature stress at 30°C or V. splendidus stimulation.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is one of the major non-selective cation channel proteins, which plays a crucial role in sensing biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pathogen infection, temperature, mechanical pressure and osmotic pressure changes by regulating Ca2+ homeostasis. In the present study, a TRPV4 homologue was identified in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, designated as CgTRPV4. The open reading frame (ORF) of CgTRPV4 was of 2298 bp encoding a putative polypeptide of 765 amino acid residues with three typical ankyrin domains and six conserved transmembrane domains of TRPV4 subfamily proteins, as well as multiple N-glycosylation sites, cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites, protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, casein kinase II phosphorylation sites, and prokaryotic membrane lipoprotein lipid attachment site. The deduced amino acid sequence of CgTRPV4 shared 20.5%-26.2% similarity with TRPV4s from other species. During the early ontogenesis stages of oyster, the mRNA transcripts of CgTRPV4 were detectable in all the stages with the highest expression level in fertilized eggs and the lowest in D-hinged larvae. In adult oyster, the CgTRPV4 mRNA could be detected in all the examined tissues, including gill, hepatopancreas, adductor muscle, labial palp, mantle and haemocyte, with the highest expression level in gill (45.08-fold of that in hepatopancreas, p < 0.05). In immunocytochemical assay, the CgTRPV4 positive signals were distributed in both endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic membrane of oyster haemocytes. The mRNA expression of CgTRPV4 in gill was significantly up-regulated after high temperature stress at 30°C (p < 0.05) and after Vibrio splendidus stimulation (p < 0.05). These results indicated that CgTRPV4 was a classical member of TRPV4 family in oyster, which was induced by either biotic or abiotic stimulations and involved in mediating the stress response of oysters.

Histological and immunohistochemical study of gilthead seabream tongue from the early stage of development: TRPV4 potential roles. Ann Anat 2022; 244:151985.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Taste buds, the morphofunctional units for taste perception, transduce gustatory stimuli using G protein-coupled receptors, and a complex arrangement of ion channels, among which TRPV4, a member of the TRP superfamily. Studies on taste buds development on gilthead seabream are unknown, and the TRPV4 expression on fish taste cells studies were conducted only on zebrafish. METHODS In our study, we have investigated the histological features of the gilthead seabream tongue dorsal surface from the earliest stage of development using Masson trichrome with aniline blue staining. Additionally, TRPV4 expression pattern was studied by means of immunohistochemical labeling and quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS We have recorded for the first time on gilthead seabream lingual dorsal surface the presence of, stage specific, three types of taste buds: type I, type II and type III in larvae, juvenile and adults respectively. At 40 days post hatching, taste buds were mature-looking. TRPV4 expression was detected in a subpopulation of taste cells of larvae, juveniles, and adults. Furthermore, TRPV4 was expressed in the basal epithelial cells of the tongue at the larvae and juvenile stage, while this expression pattern was more diffused within all the epithelial cell layers on the adult. CONCLUSION Our findings presume a taste sensory role of TRPV4 in the three stage-specific taste buds and oral epithelia of gilthead seabream. In addition to its sensory role on the epithelial cell layers, we hypothesize that TRPV4 is implicated in epithelial cells differentiation and membrane protection.

Abstract
Medaka, Oryzias latipes is distributed in fresh water of South Asia. To study roles of TRPV4 in osmosensing and adaption mechanism of medaka during changes in salinity environment, we isolated the cDNA for TRPV4 from medaka (olTRPV4) and characterized it. The electrophysiological analysis using Xenopus oocytes revealed that olTRPV4 can be activated by a TRPV4-specific agonist, GSK1016790A and acid at pH 5. Further, olTRPV4 was sensitive to 2-APB. Although warm temperatures activate mammalian TRPV4, olTRPV4 was activated by cold and hot stimulation. The threshold for cold activation was determined as 13.13 ± 0.60 °C, and the heat-activation threshold was 40.26 ± 0.25 °C. Further, when olTRPV4-expressing oocytes were stimulated by hypotonic solution, an apparent activation was observed. We further found that the expression of this hypotonic sensor, olTRPV4 was significantly down-regulated in gills but up-regulated in brains of sea water-acclimated medaka. Results demonstrated that olTRPV4 must function as an osmosensor and play important roles in adaption mechanism of medaka fish in various salinity environments.

Abstract
Fish are ectotherm, which rely on the external temperature to regulate their internal body temperature, although some may perform partial endothermy. Together with photoperiod, temperature oscillations, contribute to synchronizing the daily and seasonal variations of fish metabolism, physiology and behavior. Recent studies are shedding light on the mechanisms of temperature sensing and behavioral thermoregulation in fish. In particular, the role of some members of the transient receptor potential channels (TRP) is being gradually unraveled. The present study in the migratory Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, aims at identifying the tissue distribution and abundance in mRNA corresponding to the TRP of the vanilloid subfamilies, TRPV1 and TRPV4, and at characterizing their putative role in the control of the temperature-dependent modulation of melatonin production-the time-keeping hormone-by the pineal gland. In Salmo salar, TRPV1 and TRPV4 mRNA tissue distribution appeared ubiquitous; mRNA abundance varied as a function of the month investigated. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry indicated specific labeling located in the photoreceptor cells of the pineal gland and the retina. Additionally, TRPV analogs modulated the production of melatonin by isolated pineal glands in culture. The TRPV1 agonist induced an inhibitory response at high concentrations, while evoking a bell-shaped response (stimulatory at low, and inhibitory at high, concentrations) when added with an antagonist. The TRPV4 agonist was stimulatory at the highest concentration used. Altogether, the present results agree with the known widespread distribution and role of TRPV1 and TRPV4 channels, and with published data on trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), leading to suggest these channels mediate the effects of temperature on S. salar pineal melatonin production. We discuss their involvement in controlling the timing of daily and seasonal events in this migratory species, in the context of an increasing warming of water temperatures.

Abstract
The current work was designed to assess the effect of feed supplemented with essential oils (EOs) on the histological features in sea bass's gastric mucosa. Fish were fed three diets: control diet (CTR), HERBAL MIX® made with natural EOs (N-EOs), or HERBAL MIX® made with artificial EOs obtained by synthesis (S-EOs) during a 117-day feeding trial. Thereafter, the oxyntopeptic cells (OPs) and the ghrelin (GHR) and somatostatin (SOM) enteroendocrine cells (EECs) in the gastric mucosa were evaluated. The Na+K+-ATPase antibody was used to label OPs, while, for the EECs, anti-SOM and anti-GHR antibody were used. The highest density of OP immunoreactive (IR) area was in the CTR group (0.66 mm2 ± 0.1). The OP-IR area was reduced in the N-EO diet group (0.22 mm2 ± 1; CTR vs. N-EOs, p < 0.005), while in the S-EO diet group (0.39 mm2 ± 1) a trend was observed. We observed an increase of the number of SOM-IR cells in the N-EO diet (15.6 ± 4.2) compared to that in the CTR (11.8 ± 3.7) (N-EOs vs. CTR; p < 0.05), but not in the S-EOs diet. These observations will provide a basis to advance current knowledge on the anatomy and digestive physiology of this species in relation to pro-heath feeds.

Molecular characterization of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) gene transcript variant mRNA of chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta in response to salinity or temperature changes. Gene 2021; 795:145779.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is an osmosensory cation channel that respond to an increase in cell volume and participates in various physiological functions. Among organisms in aquatic environments, euryhaline teleost is are suitable experimental models to study ion channel proteins related to physiological functions involving osmosensing. Among the studies of various regulatory molecules that mediate osmotic regulation in fish, however, information is lacking, particularly on the TRP family. This study investigated the structural characteristics of theTRPV4 gene of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and their responses to changes in salinity and temperature. Interestingly, TRPV4 generates transcript variants of the intron-retention form through alternative splicing, resulting in a frameshift leading to the generation of transcripts of different structures. In particular, TRPV4 x1 and TRPV x2 mRNAs were predominant in the gill and skin including at the lateral line. The expression levels of chum salmon TRPV4 x1 were significantly increased with increase in salinity and temperature, whereas TRPV4 x2 mainly responded to temperature decrease. Overall, these results demonstrate for the first time the effects of salinity and temperature on the expression of two salmonid TRPV4 transcript variants, suggesting their contribution to the regulation of hydromineral balance.

Abstract
Interspecies hybridization is driven by a complex interplay of factors where introgression plays an important role. In the present study, the transfer of genetic material, between two quite distant fish species from different genera, through spontaneous hybridization was documented with dedicated molecular and bioinformatics tools. We investigate the genomic landscape of putative stickleback-relative introgression by carefully analyzing the tractable transposable elements (TE) on the admixed genome of some individuals of two sympatric stickleback species inhabiting northwestern Russia, namely the three-spined (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and the nine-spined (Pungitius pungitius) sticklebacks. Our data revealed that unique TE amplification types exist, supporting our proposed hypothesis that infers on the interspecific introgression. By running a restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq) with eight samples of G. aculeatus and P. pungitius and subjecting further the results to a contrasting analysis by variated bioinformatic tools, we identified the related introgression-linked markers. The admixture nature observed in a single sample of the nine-spined stickleback demonstrated the possible traces of remote introgression between these two species. Our work reveals the potential that introgression has on providing particular variants at a high-frequency speed while linking blocks of sequence with multiple functional mutations. However, even though our results are of significant interest, an increased number of samples displaying the introgression are required to further ascertain our conclusions.

Effect of combined stress (salinity and temperature) in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax osmoregulatory processes. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2017; 215:45-54.

Abstract
European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax undertake seasonal migrations to estuaries and lagoons that are characterized by fluctuations in environmental conditions. Their ability to cope with these unstable habitats is undeniable, but it is still not clear how and to what extent salinity acclimation mechanisms are affected at temperatures higher than in the sea. In this study, juvenile sea bass were pre-acclimated to seawater (SW) at 18°C (temperate) or 24°C (warm) for 2weeks and then transferred to fresh water (FW) or SW at the respective temperature. Transfer to FW for two weeks resulted in decreased blood osmolalities and plasma Cl- at both temperatures. In FW warm conditions, plasma Na+ was ~15% lower and Cl- was ~32% higher than in the temperate-water group. Branchial Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity measured at the acclimation temperature (Vapparent) did not change according to the conditions. Branchial Na+/K+-ATPase activity measured at 37°C (Vmax) was lower in warm conditions and increased in FW compared to SW conditions whatever the considered temperature. Mitochondrion-rich cell (MRC) density increased in FW, notably due to the appearance of lamellar MRCs, but this increase was less pronounced in warm conditions where MRC's size was lower. In SW warm conditions, pavement cell apical microridges are less developed than in other conditions. Overall gill morphometrical parameters (filament thickness, lamellar length and width) differ between fish that have been pre-acclimated to different temperatures. This study shows that a thermal change affects gill plasticity affecting whole-organism ion balance two weeks after salinity transfer.

Abstract
Increased blood pressure (BP) is observed in patients with impaired baroreflexes after water drinking. The stimulus for this effect is low blood osmolality, and it has been termed the osmopressor response (OPR). The BP increase is associated with activation of the sympathetic nervous system and a requirement for transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels. However, the mechanisms underlying the OPR are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that hypotonicity is sensed in the portal area to initiate the OPR. Sino-aortic denervated mice were used and BP was monitored for 30min after fluid infusion while mice were under anesthesia. Infusion of hypotonic fluid (0.45% saline), but not of isotonic 0.9% saline, directly into the portal vein, produced an immediate OPR (increase in BP with saline 0.45%: 15±13 vs. 0.9%: -7±2mmHg, p=0.003; AUC: 0.45%: 150±99, n=7 vs. 0.9%: -74±60mmHg·min, n=5, p=0.003). However, 0.45% saline was not able to trigger a similar response in TRPV4-/- mice (ΔBPTRPV4: -2±5mmHg, n=8, p=0.009). Hypotonic saline did not raise BP when infused at the same speed and volume into the jugular vein (jugular: -5±6mmHg, p=0.002, compared to portal). Denervation of the splanchnic nerve by celiac ganglionectomy (CGX) did not abolish the OPR (CGX: 15±11 vs. Sham: 16±6mmHg, p=0.34). Renal denervation diminished the OPR elicited by duodenal water infusion (denervation: 9±4 vs. sham: 31±15mmHg, p=0.016). Therefore, hypotonicity in the portal circulation, probably sensed by TRPV4 channels, triggers the OPR and intact renal nerves are needed for the full response.

Abstract
Photoperiod plays an essential role in the synchronization of metabolism, physiology, and behavior to the cyclic variations of the environment. In vertebrates, information is relayed by the pineal cells and translated into the nocturnal production of melatonin. The duration of this signal corresponds to the duration of the night. In fish, the pinealocytes are true photoreceptors in which the amplitude of the nocturnal surge is modulated by temperature in a species-dependent manner. Thus, the daily and annual variations in the amplitude and duration of the nocturnal melatonin signal provide information on daily and calendar time. Both light and temperature act on the activity of the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin biosynthesis pathway, the arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (serotonin → N-acetylserotonin). Although the mechanisms of the light/dark regulation of melatonin secretion are quite well understood, those of temperature remain unelucidated. More generally, the mechanisms of thermoreception are unknown in ectotherms. Here we provide the first evidence that two thermotransient receptor potential (TRP) channels, TRPV1 and TRPV4, are expressed in the pineal photoreceptor cells of a teleost fish, in which they modulate melatonin secretion in vitro. The effects are temperature dependent, at least for TRPV1. Our data support the idea that the pineal of fish is involved in thermoregulation and that the pineal photoreceptors are also thermoreceptors. In other nervous and nonnervous tissues, TRPV1 and TRPV4 display a ubiquitous but quantitatively variable distribution. These results are a fundamental step in the elucidation of the mechanisms of temperature transduction in fish.

Abstract
This study characterized the local effects of extracellular osmolality and prolactin (PRL) on branchial ionoregulatory function of a euryhaline teleost, Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). First, gill filaments were dissected from freshwater (FW)-acclimated tilapia and incubated in four different osmolalities, 280, 330, 380, and 450 mosmol/kg H2O. The mRNA expression of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase α1a (NKA α1a) and Na(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC) showed higher expression with decreasing media osmolalities, while Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter 1a (NKCC1a) and PRL receptor 2 (PRLR2) mRNA levels were upregulated by increases in media osmolality. We then incubated gill filaments in media containing ovine PRL (oPRL) and native tilapia PRLs (tPRL177 and tPRL188). oPRL and the two native tPRLs showed concentration-dependent effects on NCC, NKAα1a, and PRLR1 expression; Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) expression was increased by 24 h of incubation with tPRLs. Immunohistochemical observation showed that oPRL and both tPRLs maintained a high density of NCC- and NKA-immunoreactive ionocytes in cultured filaments. Furthermore, we found that tPRL177 and tPRL188 differentially induce expression of these ion transporters, according to incubation time. Together, these results provide evidence that ionocytes of Mozambique tilapia may function as osmoreceptors, as well as directly respond to PRL to modulate branchial ionoregulatory functions.

Abstract
In the present study, our aim was to compare physiological and behavioural responses to different noxious stimuli to those of a standardized innocuous stimulus, to possibly identify aversive responses indicative of injury detection in a commercially important marine teleost fish, the Atlantic cod. Individual fish were administered with a noxious stimulus to the lip under short-term general anaesthesia (MS-222). The noxious treatments included injection of 0.1% or 2% acetic acid, 0.005% or 0.1% capsaicin, or piercing the lip with a commercial fishing hook. Counts of opercular beat rate (OBR) at 10, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min and observations of behaviour at 30 and 90 min post-treatment were compared with pre-treatment values and with control fish injected with physiological saline, an innocuous stimulus. Circulatory levels of physiological stress indicators were determined in all fish at 120 minutes post-treatment. All treatments evoked temporarily increased OBR that returned to pre-treatment levels at 60 minutes (saline, 0.005% capsaicin, hook), 90 minutes (0.1% acetic acid, 0.1% capsaicin), or 120 minutes (2% acetic acid), but with no significant differences from the control group at any time point. Fish treated with 0.1% and 2% acetic acid and 0.1% capsaicin displayed increased hovering close to the bottom of the aquaria and fish given 2% acetic acid and 0.1% capsaicin also displayed a reduced use of shelter. The only effect seen in hooked fish was brief episodes of lateral head shaking which were not seen pre-treatment or in the other groups, possibly reflecting a resiliency to tissue damage in the mouth area related to the tough nature of the Atlantic cod diet. There were no differences between groups in circulatory stress indicators two hours after treatment. This study provides novel data on behavioural indicators that could be used to assess potentially aversive events in Atlantic cod.

Abstract
Dicentrarchus labrax migrates between sea (SW), brackish and fresh water (FW) where chloride concentrations and requirements for chloride handling change: in FW, fish absorb chloride and restrict renal losses; in SW, they excrete chloride. In this study, the expression and localization of ClC-3 and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA) were studied in fish adapted to SW, or exposed to FW from 10 min to 30 days. In gills, NKA-α1 subunit expression transiently increased from 10 min and reached a stabilized intermediate expression level after 24 h in FW. ClC-3 co-localized with NKA in the basolateral membrane of mitochondria-rich cells (MRCs) at all conditions. The intensity of MRC ClC-3 immunostaining was significantly higher (by 50 %) 1 h after the transfer to FW, whereas the branchial ClC-3 protein expression was 30 % higher 7 days after the transfer as compared to SW. This is consistent with the increased number of immunopositive MRCs (immunostained for NKA and ClC-3). However, the ClC-3 mRNA expression was significantly lower in FW gills. In the kidney, after FW transfer, a transient decrease in NKA-α1 subunit expression was followed by significantly higher stable levels from 24 h. The low ClC-3 protein expression detected at both salinities was not observed by immunocytochemistry in the SW kidney; ClC-3 was localized in the basal membrane of the collecting ducts and tubules 7 and 30 days after transfer to FW. Renal ClC-3 mRNA expression, however, seemed higher in SW than in FW. The potential role of this chloride channel ClC-3 in osmoregulatory and osmosensing mechanisms is discussed.

Abstract
Organisms exposed to altered salinity must be able to perceive osmolality change because metabolism has evolved to function optimally at specific intracellular ionic strength and composition. Such osmosensing comprises a complex physiological process involving many elements at organismal and cellular levels of organization. Input from numerous osmosensors is integrated to encode magnitude, direction, and ionic basis of osmolality change. This combinatorial nature of osmosensing is discussed with emphasis on fishes.

Abstract
Prolactin (PRL) cells of the euryhaline Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, are osmoreceptors. Hyposmotically-induced PRL release is mediated by the inward movement of extracellular Ca(2+) through a stretch-activated Ca(2+) channel, which has been recently identified as the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4). In the present study, changes in plasma PRL, as well as PRL and TRPV4 mRNA expression from the rostral pars distalis (RPD), were measured in fish transferred from seawater (SW) to fresh water (FW) and in fish transferred from FW to SW. The in vitro effects of osmolality on PRL release and on PRL and TRPV4 mRNA expression in dispersed PRL cells were compared between fish adapted to SW and FW. Both the release and expression of PRL fell when fish were transferred to SW and rose when fish were transferred to FW. By contrast, TRPV4 expression increased by 48h after fish were transferred from FW to SW and declined as early as 6h after transfer from SW to FW. A similar pattern was observed in vitro where TRPV4 expression responded positively to an increase in medium osmolality while PRL expression declined. Incubation with the Ca(2+) ionophore, A23187, and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, IBMX, stimulated PRL release. While both IBMX and A23187 inhibited TRPV4 expression, only A23187 reduced PRL expression. Together, these findings indicate that the expression of TRPV4 mRNA is osmosensitive, increasing as extracellular osmolality rises. Furthermore, these data suggest that TRPV4 expression may be regulated through the same second messenger pathways involved in hyposmotically-induced PRL release.

Abstract
In teleost fish, prolactin (PRL) is an important hormone for hyperosmoregulation. The release of PRL from the pituitary of Mozambique tilapia is stimulated by a decrease in extracellular osmolality. Previous studies have shown that hyposmotically induced PRL release is linked with cell volume changes, and that stretch-activated Ca2+ channels are likely responsible for the initiation of the signal transduction for PRL release. In this study, we identified the stretch-activated Ca2+ channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) from the rostral pars distalis (RPD) of tilapia acclimated to freshwater (FW). TRPV4 transcripts were ubiquitously expressed in tilapia; the level of expression in RPDs of FW-acclimated fish was lower than that found in RPDs of seawater (SW)-acclimated fish. Immunohistochemical analysis of the pituitary revealed that TRPV4 is localized in the cell membrane of PRL cells of both FW and SW tilapia. A functional assay with CHO-K1 cells showed that tilapia TRPV4 responded to a decrease in extracellular osmolality, and that its function was suppressed by ruthenium red (RR) and activated by 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4aPDD). Exposure of dissociated PRL cells from FW-acclimated tilapia to RR blocked hyposmolality induced PRL release. PRL release, on the other hand, was stimulated by 4aPDD. These results indicate that PRL release in response to physiologically relevant changes in extracellular osmolality is mediated by the osmotically sensitive TRPV4 cation channel.
