Abstract
Fish primary cell culture has emerged as a valuable tool for investigating the physiological roles and responses of various cell types found in fish species. This review aims to provide an overview of the advancements and applications of fish primary cell culture techniques, focusing on the profiling of physiological roles exhibited by fish cells in vitro. Fish primary cell culture involves the isolation and cultivation of cells directly derived from fish tissues, maintaining their functional characteristics and enabling researchers to study their behavior and responses under controlled conditions. Over the years, significant progress has been made in optimizing the culture conditions, establishing standardized protocols, and improving the characterization techniques for fish primary cell cultures. The review highlights the diverse cell types that have been successfully cultured from different fish species, including gonad cells, pituitary cells, muscle cells, hepatocytes, kidney and immune cells, adipocyte cells and myeloid cells, brain cells, primary fin cells, gill cells, and other cells. Each cell type exhibits distinct physiological functions, contributing to vital processes such as metabolism, tissue regeneration, immune response, and toxin metabolism. Furthermore, this paper explores the pivotal role of fish primary cell culture in elucidating the mechanisms underlying various physiological processes. Researchers have utilized fish primary cell cultures to study the effects of environmental factors, toxins, pathogens, and pharmaceutical compounds on cellular functions, providing valuable insights into fish health, disease pathogenesis, and drug development. The paper also discusses the application of fish primary cell cultures in aquaculture research, particularly in investigating fish growth, nutrition, reproduction, and stress responses. By mimicking the in vivo conditions in vitro, primary cell culture has proven instrumental in identifying key factors influencing fish health and performance, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable aquaculture practices.

Biol Open 2021; 10:271020. [PMID: 34308991 PMCID: PMC8351317 DOI: 10.1242/bio.058868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Claudin (Cldn)-10 tight junction (TJ) proteins are hypothesized to form the paracellular Na+ secretion pathway of hyposmoregulating mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) branchial epithelia. Organ-specific expression profiles showed that only branchial organs [the gill and opercular epithelium (OE)] exhibited abundant cldn-10 paralog transcripts, which typically increased following seawater (SW) to hypersaline (2SW) challenge. Post-translational properties, protein abundance, and ionocyte localization of Cldn-10c, were then examined in gill and OE. Western blot analysis revealed two Cldn-10c immunoreactive bands in the mummichog gill and OE at ∼29 kDa and ∼40 kDa. The heavier protein could be eliminated by glycosidase treatment, demonstrating the novel presence of a glycosylated Cldn-10c. Protein abundance of Cldn-10c increased in gill and OE of 2SW-exposed fish. Cldn-10c localized to the sides of gill and OE ionocyte apical crypts and partially colocalized with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and F-actin, consistent with TJ complex localization. Cldn-10c immunofluorescent intensity increased but localization was unaltered by 2SW conditions. In support of our hypothesis, cldn-10/Cldn-10 TJ protein dynamics in gill and OE of mummichogs and TJ localization are functionally consistent with the creation and maintenance of salinity-responsive, cation-selective pores that facilitate Na+ secretion in hyperosmotic environments. Summary: The role of claudin-10 tight junction proteins in paracellular salt secretion across fish branchial epithelia is indicated by organ-specific responses to hyperosmotic conditions and their association with salt secreting transcellular proteins

Abstract
To provide insight into claudin (Cldn) tight junction (TJ) protein contributions to branchial salt secretion in marine teleost fishes, this study examined cldn-10 TJ protein isoforms of a euryhaline teleost (mummichog; Fundulus heteroclitus) in association with salinity change and measurements of transepithelial cation selectivity. Mummichogs were transferred from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW, 35‰) and from SW to hypersaline SW (2SW, 60‰) in a time course with transfer control groups (FW to FW, and SW to SW). FW to SW transfer increased mRNA abundance of cldn-10d and cldn-10e twofold, whilst cldn-10c and cldn-10f transcripts were unchanged. Transfer from SW to 2SW did not alter cldn-10d, and transiently altered cldn-10e abundance, but increased cldn-10c and cldn-10f fourfold. This was coincident with an increased number of single-stranded junctions (observed by transmission electron microscopy). For both salinity transfers, (1) cldn-10e mRNA was acutely responsive (i.e. after 24 h), (2) other responsive cldn-10 isoforms increased later (3-7 days), and (3) cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) mRNA was elevated in accordance with established changes in transcellular Cl- movement. Changes in mRNA encoding cldn-10c and -10f appeared linked, consistent with the tandem repeat locus in the Fundulus genome, whereas mRNA for tandem cldn-10d and cldn-10e seemed independent of each other. Cation selectivity sequence measured by voltage and conductance responses to artificial SW revealed Eisenman sequence VII: Na+>K+>Rb+∼Cs+>Li+ Collectively, these data support the idea that Cldn-10 TJ proteins create and maintain cation-selective pore junctions in salt-secreting tissues of teleost fishes.

Abstract
The present study reports the development of a method to investigate ichthyotoxicity of harmful marine microalgae using cultured red sea bream (Pagrus major) gill cells. The cultured gill cells formed adherent 1-2 layers on the bottom of the culture plate and could tolerate seawater exposure for 4 h without significant alteration in cell survival. The microalgae Karenia mikimotoi, Karenia papilionacea, K. papilionacea phylotype-I, and Heterosigma akashiwo were cultured, then directly exposed to gill cells. After K. mikimotoi and K. papilionacea phylotype-I exposure, live cell coverage was significantly lower than in the cells exposed to a seawater-based medium (control cells; P < 0.05). Toxicity of K. mikimotoi cells was weakened when cells were ruptured, and was almost inexistent when the algal cells were removed from the culture by filtration. Significant cytotoxicity was detected in the concentrated ruptured cells, and in the concentrated of ruptured cells after freezing and thawing though cytotoxicity was weakened; whereas, cytotoxicity almost disappeared after heat treatment. In addition, examination of the distribution of toxic substances from the ruptured cells showed that cytotoxicity mainly occurred in the fraction with the resuspended pellet after centrifugation at 3000×g.

Abstract
The contribution of Claudin-31 (Cldn-31) to corticosteroid-induced tightening of the trout gill epithelium was examined using a primary cultured model preparation. Cldn-31 is a ∼23 kDa protein that localizes to the periphery of gill epithelial cells and diffusely in select gill cells that are Na+-K+-ATPase-immunoreactive. Transcriptional knockdown (KD) of cldn-31 reduced Cldn-31 abundance and increased epithelium permeability. Under simulated in vivo conditions (apical freshwater), cldn-31 KD increased net ion flux rates (≡ efflux). Cortisol treatment increased Cldn-31 abundance and decreased epithelium permeability. This tightening effect was diminished, but not eliminated, by cldn-31 KD, most likely due to other cortisol-sensitive TJ proteins that were transcriptionally unperturbed or enhanced in cortisol-treated cldn-31 KD preparations. However, cldn-31 KD abolished a cortisol-induced increase in Cldn-8d abundance, which may contribute to compromised cldn-31 KD epithelium permeability. Data suggest an important barrier function for Cldn-31 and an integral role for Cldn-31 in corticosteroid-induced gill epithelium tightening.
