[PMID: 39396558 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 10/09/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024]
Abstract
Hypoxia poses a significant challenge to aquatic organisms, especially Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei), which play a vital role in the global aquaculture industry. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is a pivotal regulator of the organism's adaptation to hypoxic conditions. To understand of how HIF-1α affects the immunity of L. vannamei under hypoxic conditions, we conducted a thorough study involving various approaches. These included observing tissue morphology, analyzing the expression of immune-related genes, assessing the activities of immune-related enzymes, and exploring immune-related pathways. Our study revealed that RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of HIF-1α markedly reduced HIF-1α expression in the gill (75-95 %), whereas the reduction ranged from 2 to 43 % in the hepatopancreas. Knockdown of HIF-1α resulted in increased damage to both gill and hepatopancreatic tissues in hypoxic conditions. Additionally, immune-related genes, including Astakine (AST), Hemocyanin (HC), and Ferritin (FT), as well as immune-related enzymes such as Acid Phosphatase (ACP), Alkaline Phosphatase (AKP), and Phenoloxidase (PO), exhibited intricate regulatory patterns in response to hypoxia stress following the knockdown of HIF-1α. Transcriptome analysis revealed that HIF-1α knockdown significantly impacts multiple signaling pathways, including the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, Th17 cell differentiation pathways, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, ribosomal pathways, apoptosis, lysosomes and arachidonic acid metabolism. These alterations disrupt the organism's immune balance and interfere with normal metabolic processes, potentially leading to various immune-related diseases. We speculate that the weakened immune response resulting from HIF-1 inhibition is due to the reduced metabolic capacity, and the existence of a direct regulatory relationship between them requires further exploration. This study greatly advances our understanding of the vital role that HIF-1α plays in regulating immune responses in shrimp under hypoxic conditions, thereby deepening our comprehension of this critical biological mechanism.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the acute toxicity, in vivo effects, oxidative stress, and gene expression changes caused by hypoxia on the brackish water flea Diaphanosoma celebensis. The no-observed-effect concentration (NOEC) of 48 h of hypoxia exposure was found to be 2 mg/L O2. Chronic exposure to NOEC caused a significant decline in lifespan but had no effect on total fecundity. The induction of reactive oxygen species increased in a time-dependent manner over 48 h, whereas the content of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase) decreased. The transcription and translation levels were modulated by hypoxia exposure. In particular, a significant increase in hemoglobin level was followed by up-regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α gene expression and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. In conclusion, our findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of the adverse effects of hypoxia in brackish water zooplankton.

Abstract
The white shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei is the most cultivated shrimp worldwide. Compared to other shrimp species, it has higher resistance to adverse conditions. During hypoxia, the shrimp reduces oxygen consumption and adjusts energy metabolism via anaerobic glycolysis, among other strategies. Hexokinase (HK) is the first enzyme of glycolysis and a key regulation point. In mammals and other vertebrates, there are several tissue-specific HK isoforms with differences in expression and enzyme activity. In contrast, crustacean HKs have been relatively little studied. We studied the P. vannamei HK isoforms during hypoxia and reoxygenation. We cloned two HK1 sequences named HK1-long (1455 bp) and HK1-short (1302 bp), and one HK2 (1344 bp). In normoxia, total HK1 expression is higher in hepatopancreas, while HK2 is higher in gills. Severe hypoxia (1 mg/L of DO) after 12 h exposure and 1 h of reoxygenation increased HK1 expression in both organs, but HK2 expression changed differentially. In hepatopancreas, HK2 expression increased in 6 and 12 h of hypoxia but diminished to normoxia levels after reoxygenation. In gills, HK2 expression decreased after 12 h of hypoxia. HK activity increased in hepatopancreas after 12 h hypoxia, opposite to gills. These results indicate that shrimp HK isoforms respond to hypoxia and reoxygenation in a tissue-specific manner. Intracellular glucose levels did not change in any case, showing the shrimp ability to maintain glucose homeostasis during hypoxia.

Impact of hypoxia on glucose metabolism and hypoxia signaling pathways in juvenile horseshoe crabs Tachypleus tridentatus. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 197:106467. [PMID: 38520956 DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2024.106467] [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: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Marine hypoxia poses a significant challenge in the contemporary marine environment. The horseshoe crab, an ancient benthic marine organism, is confronted with the potential threat of species extinction due to hypoxia, making it an ideal candidate for studying hypoxia tolerance mechanisms. In this experiment, juvenile Tachypleus tridentatus were subjected to a 21-day trial at DO:2 mg/L (hypoxia) and DO:6 mg/L conditions. The experimental timeline included a 14-day exposure phase followed by a 7-day recovery period. Sampling occurred on days 0, 7, 14, and 21, where the period from day 14 to day 21 corresponds to seven days of recuperation. Several enzymatic activities of important proteins throughout this investigation were evaluated, such as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), phosphofructokinase (PFK), hexokinase (HK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and pyruvate kinase (PK). Concurrently, the relative expression of hexokinase-1 (HK), hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha inhibitor (FIH), and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDH), succinate dehydrogenase assembly factor 4 (SDH), and Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) were also investigated. These analyses aimed to elucidate alterations in the hypoxia signaling pathway and respiratory energy metabolism. It is revealed that juvenile T. tridentatus initiated the HIF pathway under hypoxic conditions, resulting in an upregulation of HIF-1α and FIH-1 gene expression, which in turn, influenced a shift in metabolic patterns. Particularly, the activity of glycolysis-related enzymes was promoted significantly, including PK, HK, PKF, LDH, and the related HK gene. In contrast, enzymes linked to aerobic respiration, PDH, and SDH, as well as the related PDH and SDH genes, displayed down-regulation, signifying a transition from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. Additionally, the activity of gluconeogenesis-related enzymes such as PK and G6Pase gene expression were significantly elevated, indicating the activation of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis pathways. Consequently, juvenile T. tridentatus demonstrated an adaptive response to hypoxic conditions, marked by changes in respiratory energy metabolism modes and the activation of hypoxia signaling pathways.

HIF-1-mediated regulation of LDH gene unravels key insights into MCDV-1 pathogenesis in mud crabs Scylla paramamosain. DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 153:105127.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factors -1 (HIF-1) is a crucial transcription factor that regulates the expression of glycolytic genes. Our previous study proved that the Mud crab dicistrovirus-1 (MCDV-1) can induce aerobic glycolysis that favors viral replication in mud crab Scylla paramamosain. However, the role of HIF-1 on key glycolytic genes during the MCDV-1 infection has not been examined. In this study, the intricate interplay between HIF-1 and the key glycolysis enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), was investigated after MCDV-1 infection. The expression of LDH was significant increased after MCDV-1 infection. Additionally, the expression of HIF-1α was upregulated following MCDV-1 infection, potentially attributed to the downregulation of prolyl hydroxylase domains 2 expression. Subsequent examination of the SpLDH promoter identified the presence of hypoxia response elements (HREs), serving as binding sites for HIF-1α. Intriguingly, experimental evidence demonstrated that SpHIF-1α actively promotes SpLDH transcription through these HREs. To further elucidate the functional significance of SpHIF-1α, targeted silencing was employed, resulting in a substantial reduction in SpLDH expression, activity, and lactate concentrations in MCDV-1-infected mud crabs. Notably, SpHIF-1α-silenced mud crabs exhibited higher survival rates and lower viral loads in hepatopancreas tissues following MCDV-1 infection. These results highlight the critical role of SpHIF-1α in MCDV-1 pathogenesis by regulating LDH gene dynamics, providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the virus-host interaction.

Abstract
Dysregulated metabolic dynamics are evident in both cancer and diabetes, with metabolic alterations representing a facet of the myriad changes observed in these conditions. This review delves into the commonalities in metabolism between cancer and type 2 diabetes (T2D), focusing specifically on the contrasting roles of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis as primary energy-generating pathways within cells. Building on earlier research, we explore how a shift towards one pathway over the other serves as a foundational aspect in the development of cancer and T2D. Unlike previous reviews, we posit that this shift may occur in seemingly opposing yet complementary directions, akin to the Yin and Yang concept. These metabolic fluctuations reveal an intricate network of underlying defective signaling pathways, orchestrating the pathogenesis and progression of each disease. The Warburg phenomenon, characterized by the prevalence of aerobic glycolysis over minimal to no OXPHOS, emerges as the predominant metabolic phenotype in cancer. Conversely, in T2D, the prevailing metabolic paradigm has traditionally been perceived in terms of discrete irregularities rather than an OXPHOS-to-glycolysis shift. Throughout T2D pathogenesis, OXPHOS remains consistently heightened due to chronic hyperglycemia or hyperinsulinemia. In advanced insulin resistance and T2D, the metabolic landscape becomes more complex, featuring differential tissue-specific alterations that affect OXPHOS. Recent findings suggest that addressing the metabolic imbalance in both cancer and diabetes could offer an effective treatment strategy. Numerous pharmaceutical and nutritional modalities exhibiting therapeutic effects in both conditions ultimately modulate the OXPHOS-glycolysis axis. Noteworthy nutritional adjuncts, such as alpha-lipoic acid, flavonoids, and glutamine, demonstrate the ability to reprogram metabolism, exerting anti-tumor and anti-diabetic effects. Similarly, pharmacological agents like metformin exhibit therapeutic efficacy in both T2D and cancer. This review discusses the molecular mechanisms underlying these metabolic shifts and explores promising therapeutic strategies aimed at reversing the metabolic imbalance in both disease scenarios.

Abstract
Global deoxygenation in aquatic systems is an increasing environmental problem, and substantial oxygen loss has been reported. Aquatic animals have been continuously exposed to hypoxic environments, so-called "dead zones," in which severe die-offs among organisms are driven by low-oxygen events. Multiple studies of hypoxia exposure have focused on in vivo endpoints, metabolism, oxidative stress, and immune responses in aquatic invertebrates such as molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms, and cnidarians. They have shown that acute and chronic exposure to hypoxia induces significant decreases in locomotion, respiration, feeding, growth, and reproduction rates. Also, several studies have examined the molecular responses of aquatic invertebrates, such as anaerobic metabolism, reactive oxygen species induction, increased antioxidant enzymes, immune response mechanisms, regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) genes, and differently expressed hemoglobin/hemocyanin. The genetic basis of those molecular responses involves HIF-1α pathway genes, which are highly expressed in hypoxic conditions. However, the identification of HIF-1α-related genes and understanding of their applications in some aquatic invertebrates remain inadequate. Also, some species of crustaceans, rotifers, sponges, and ctenophores that lack HIF-1α are thought to have alternative defense mechanisms to cope with hypoxia, but those factors are still unclear. This review covers the formation of hypoxia in aquatic environments and the various adverse effects of hypoxia on aquatic invertebrates. The limitations of current hypoxia research and genetic information about the HIF-1α pathway are also discussed. Finally, this paper explains the underlying processes of the hypoxia response and presents an integrated program for research about the molecular mechanisms of hypoxic stresses in aquatic invertebrates.

Abstract
Gluconeogenesis (GNG) is the process of regenerating glucose and NAD+ that allows for continued ATP synthesis by glycolysis during fasting or in hypoxia. Recent data from C. elegans and crustaceans challenged with hypoxia show differential and tissue-specific expression of GNG-specific genes. Here we report differential expression of several GNG-specific genes in the head and body of a model organism, Daphnia magna, a planktonic crustacean, in normoxic and acute hypoxic conditions. We predict that GNG-specific transcripts will be enriched in the body, where most of the fat tissue is located, rather than in the head, where the tissues critical for survival in hypoxia, the central nervous system and locomotory muscles, are located. We measured the relative expression of GNG-specific transcripts in each body part by qRT-PCR and normalized them by either the expression of a reference gene or the rate-limiting glycolysis enzyme pyruvate kinase (PK). Our data show that of the three GNG-specific transcripts tested, pyruvate carboxylase (PC) showed no differential expression in either the head or body. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C), on the other hand, is upregulated in hypoxia in both body parts. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) is upregulated in the body relative to the head and upregulated in hypoxia relative to normoxia, with a stronger body effect in hypoxia when normalized by PK expression. These results support our hypothesis that Daphnia can survive hypoxic conditions by implementing the Cori cycle, where body tissues supply glucose and NAD+ to the brain and muscles, enabling them to continuously generate ATP by glycolysis.

Abstract
The greasyback shrimp, Metapenaeus ensis, suffers from ammonia-N stress during intensive factory aquaculture. Optimizing ammonia-N stress tolerance has become an important issue in M. ensis breeding. The metabolic and adaptive mechanisms of ammonia-N toxicity in M. ensis have not been comprehensively understood yet. In this study, a large number of potential simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the transcriptome of M. ensis were identified. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the gill and hepatopancreas at 24 h post-challenges under high concentrations of ammonia-N treatment were detected. We obtained 20,108,851-27,681,918 clean reads from the control and high groups, assembled and clustered a total of 103,174 unigenes with an average of 876 bp and an N50 of 1189 bp. Comparative transcriptome analyses identified 2000 different expressed genes in the gill and 2010 different expressed genes in the hepatopancreas, a large number of which were related to immune function, oxidative stress, metabolic regulation, and apoptosis. The results suggest that M. ensis may counteract ammonia-N toxicity at the transcriptome level by increasing the expression of genes related to immune stress and detoxification metabolism, and that selected genes may serve as molecular indicators of ammonia-N. By exploring the genetic basis of M. ensis' ammonia-N stress adaptation, we constructed the genetic networks for ammonia-N adaptation. These findings will accelerate the understanding of M. ensis' ammonia-N adaptation, contribute to the research of future breeding, and promote the level of factory aquaculture of M. ensis.

Abstract
The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the main farmed crustaceans worldwide. This crustacean suffers environmental changes in oxygen availability that affect its energy metabolism. Pyruvate kinase (PK) catalyzes the last reaction of glycolysis and is key for the regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. There is ample knowledge about mammalian PK, but in crustaceans, the information is very scarce. In this study, we analyzed in silico the structures of the PK gene and protein. Also, the effects of hypoxia on gene expression, enzymatic activity, glucose, and lactate in hepatopancreas and muscle were analyzed. The PK gene is 15,103 bp and contains 11 exons and 10 introns, producing four mRNA variants by alternative splicing and named PK1, PK2, PK3 and PK4, and two proteins with longer C-terminus and two with a 12 bp insertion. The promoter contains putative binding sites for transcription factors (TF) that are typically involved in stress responses. The deduced amino acid sequences contain the classic domains, binding sites for allosteric effectors and potential reversible phosphorylation residues. Protein modeling indicates a homotetramer with highly conserved structure. The effect of hypoxia for 6 and 12 h showed tissue-specific patterns, with higher expression, enzyme activity and lactate in muscle, but higher glucose in hepatopancreas. Changes in response to hypoxia were detected at 12 h in expression with induction in muscle and reduction in hepatopancreas, while enzyme activity was maintained, and glucose and lactate decreased. These results show rapid changes in expression and metabolites, while enzyme activity was maintained to cope with short-term hypoxia.

Abstract
Hypoxia triggers diverse cell physiological processes, and the hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are a family of heterodimeric transcription factors that function as master regulators to respond to hypoxia in different cells. However, the knowledge about the hypoxic responses especially cell alteration mediated by HIFs under hypoxia stress is still limited in crustaceans. In the present study, a hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) gene was identified (designed as EsHIF-1α). The relative mRNA expression level of EsHIF-1α was highest in hyalinocytes and lowest in granulocytes among three types of haemocytes in crabs. Hypoxia could significantly increase the EsHIF-1α protein expression level in haemocytes. Meanwhile, the proportion of hyalinocytes began to increase from 3 h post hypoxia treatment, and reached the highest level at 24 h. However, the opposite variation in proportion of granulocytes was observed under hypoxia stress. Further investigation showed that the inhibition of EsHIF-1α induced by KC7F2 (HIF-1α inhibitor) could lead to the significant decrease in the proportion of hyalinocytes under hypoxia stress, and also resulted in an increase of granulocytes proportion. While, after EsHIF-1α was activated by IOX4 (HIF-1α activator), the proportion of hyalinocytes was significantly up-regulated and the proportion of granulocytes was significantly down-regulated under post hypoxia treatment. These results collectively suggested that EsHIF-1α was involved in the regulation of proportion of three types of haemocytes induced by hypoxia stress, which provided vital insight into the understanding of the crosstalk between hypoxia and cell development in invertebrates.

Abstract
The hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) cascade is an ancient and strongly evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway that is involved in the hypoxic responses of most metazoans. Despite immense advances in the understanding of the HIF-1-mediated regulation of hypoxic responses in mammals, the contribution of the hif-1 cascade in the hypoxic adaptation of nonmodel invertebrates remains unclear. In this study, we used the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense for investigating the roles of hif-1-regulated mitophagy in crustacean testes under hypoxic conditions. We identified that the Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein (bnip3) functions as a regulator of mitophagy in M. nipponense and demonstrated that hif-1α activates bnip3 by binding to the bnip3 promoter. Hif-1α knockdown suppressed the expression of multiple mitophagy-related genes, and prawns with hif-1α knockdown exhibited higher mortality under hypoxic conditions. We observed that the levels of BNIP3 were induced under hypoxic conditions and detected that bnip3 knockdown inhibited the mitochondrial translocation of dynamin-related protein 1 (drp1), which is associated with mitochondrial fission. Notably, bnip3 knockdown inhibited hypoxia-induced mitophagy and aggravated the deleterious effects of hypoxia-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis. The experimental studies demonstrated that hypoxia induced mitochondrial fission in M. nipponense via drp1. Altogether, the study elucidated the mechanism underlying hif-1/bnip3-mediated mitochondrial fission and mitophagy and demonstrated that this pathway protects crustaceans against ROS production and apoptosis induced by acute hypoxia.

Abstract
the combination of acute cold (AC) and waterless duration (WD) constitutes the major environmental stress and induces the damage or even mortality to shrimp L. vannamei during live transport, whereas the responding mechanism to AC + WD at molecular level remains unknown. The present study aims to clarify the responding mechanism of L. vannamei to AC + WD stress by ultrastructural observation and transcriptomic analysis on hepatopancreas tissue. The results showed that the dramatical oxidative stress induced by AC + WD significantly mediated the alteration of amino acids and energy metabolism. Furthermore, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the genes including DDO, GOT1, IDH1 and BBOX1 involved in energy metabolism and were significantly down-regulated, while some apoptosis- and inflammation-related genes such as DRONC, AP-1, and COX-2 were significantly up-regulated under AC + WD stress in comparison with those at normal control (all p < 0.05 or 0.01). These findings suggested that metabolic processes mediate the stress-induced damages of L. vannamei during waterless transport. Moreover, the significant overexpression of apoptosis-and inflammation-related proteins, and levels of inflammation cytokines in serum of shrimps strongly demonstrated the implication of inflammation and apoptosis pathways in stress-induced ultrastructural damage. These findings deepen our understanding into the response mechanisms of L. vannamei to AC + WD stress and provide the potential controlling biomarkers for transportation management.

Abstract
Hypoxia is one of the challenges in prawns aquaculture. However, the role of thiamine, which is a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism with antioxidant properties, in reducing hypoxia in prawns aquaculture is currently unknown. We investigated the effects of thiamine on antioxidant status, carbohydrate metabolism and acute hypoxia in oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense. One thousand eight hundred prawns (0.123 ± 0.003 g) were fed five diets (60 prawns each tank, six replicates per diet) supplemented with graded thiamine levels (5.69, 70.70, 133.67, 268.33 and 532.00 mg/kg dry mater) for eight weeks and then exposed to hypoxia stress for 12 h followed by reoxyegnation for 12 h. The results showed that, under normoxia, prawns fed the 133.67 or 268.33 mg/kg thiamine diet had significantly lower glucose 6-phosphatedehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activities than those fed the other diets. Moreover, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) increased significantly when prawns were fed the 133.67 mg/kg thiamine diet. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malonaldehyde (MDA) content also increased significantly when prawns were fed the 268.33 or 532.00 mg/kg thiamine diet under hypoxia. And the significantly increased SOD activity and MDA level also observed in prawns fed 532.00 mg/kg thiamine under reoxygenation. Under normoxia, prawns fed the 70.70 or 133.67 mg/kg thiamine diet decreased the mRNA expressions of AMP-activated protein kinase-alpha (AMPK-α), pyruvate dehydrogenase-E1-α subunit (PDH-E1-α) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1s (HIF-1α, HIF-1β), but increased the mRNA expressions of phosphofructokinase (PFK) significantly. After 12 h of hypoxia, the energy metabolism related genes (AMPK-β, AMPK-γ, PFK, PDH-E1-α), hypoxia-inducible factor related genes (HIF-1α, HIF-1β) and thiamine transporter gene (SLC19A2) were up-regulated significantly in prawns fed the 133.67 or 268.33 mg/kg thiamine diets. After 12 h of reoxygenation, prawns fed the 133.67 or 268.33 mg/kg diet significantly decreased the SOD activity, MDA level and SLC19A2 mRNA expression compared with other diets. The optimum thiamine was 161.20 mg/kg for minimum MDA content and 143.17 mg/kg for maximum T-AOC activity based on cubic regression analysis. In summary, supplementing 143.17 to 161.20 mg/kg thiamine in the diets for M. nipponense improves the antioxidant capacity under normoxia and reduces the oxidative damage under hypoxia stress.

Abstract
Crustaceans have an open vascular system in which hemocytes freely circulate in hemolymph. Hemocytes are rich in hemocyanin, a specific oxygen-transport protein in crustaceans; therefore, understanding the response of hemocytes to hypoxia is crucial. Although hemocytes take up glucose during hypoxia, the molecular mechanism of glucose uptake in crustaceans remains unclear. Herein, we identified two highly conserved glucose transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT2) in Macrobrachium nipponense (oriental river prawn) and analyzed their tissue-specific expression patterns. Our immunofluorescence assays showed that GLUT1 and GLUT2 are located on the cell membrane, with a strong GLUT1 signal in primary hemocytes under hypoxia. We found that during acute hypoxia, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α-related metabolic alterations result in decreased mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase activity, implying a classic glycolytic mechanism. As a proof of concept, we replicated these findings in insect S2 cells. Acute hypoxia significantly induced hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, GLUT1, and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 1 expression in primary hemocytes, and hypoxia-induced increases in glucose uptake and lactate secretion were observed. GLUT1 knockdown induced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and apoptosis in vitro and in vivo, resulting in increased prawn mortality and more apoptotic cells in their brains, implying a vital function of GLUT1 in hypoxia adaptation. Taken together, our results suggest a close relationship between hypoxia-mediated glycolysis and GLUT1 in hemocytes. These results demonstrated that in crustaceans, adaptation to hypoxia involves glucose metabolic plasticity.

Abstract
Hypoxic zones are spreading worldwide in marine environments affecting many organisms. Shrimp and other marine crustaceans can withstand environmental hypoxia using several strategies, including the regulation of energy producing metabolic pathways. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the first reaction of gluconeogenesis to produce oxaloacetate from pyruvate. In mammals, PC also participates in lipogenesis, insulin secretion and other processes, but this enzyme has been scarcely studied in marine invertebrates. In this work, we characterized the gene encoding PC in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, modelled the protein structure and evaluated its gene expression in hepatopancreas during hypoxia, as well as glucose and lactate concentrations. The PC gene codes for a mitochondrial protein and has 21 coding exons and 4 non-coding exons that generate three transcript variants with differences only in the 5'-UTR. Total PC expression is more abundant in hepatopancreas compared to gills or muscle, indicating tissue-specific expression. Under hypoxic conditions of 1.53 mg/L dissolved oxygen, PC expression is maintained in hepatopancreas, indicating its key role even in energy-limited conditions. Finally, both glucose and lactate concentrations were maintained under hypoxia for 24-48 h in hepatopancreas.

Characterization of phosphofructokinase (PFK) from mud crab Scylla paramamosain and its role in mud crab dicistrovirus-1 proliferation. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 124:39-46. [PMID: 35367375 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.03.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Phosphofructokinase (PFK), the key enzyme of glycolysis, can catalyze the irreversible transphosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate forming fructose-1, 6-biphosphate. In the present study, a PFK gene from the mud crab Scylla paramamosain, named SpPFK, was cloned and characterized. The full length of SpPFK contained a 5'untranslated region (UTR) of 249 bp, an open reading frame of 2,859 bp, and a 3'UTR of 1,248 bp. The mRNA of SpPFK was highly expressed in the gill, followed by the hemocytes and muscle. The expression of SpPFK was significantly up-regulated after mud crab dicistrovirus-1 (MCDV-1) infection. Knocking down SpPFK in vivo by RNA interference significantly reduced the expression of lactate dehydrogenase after MCDV-1 infection. Furthermore, silencing of SpPFK in vivo increased the survival rate of mud crabs and decreased the MCDV-1 copies in the gill and hepatopancreas after MCDV-1 infection. All these results suggested that SpPFK could play an important role in the process of MCDV-1 proliferation in mud crab.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) plays an essential role in aerobic organisms including terrestrial insects. Under hypoxic stress, the cowpea bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus) ceases feeding and growth. However, larvae, particularly 4th instar larvae exhibit very high tolerance to hypoxia and can recover normal growth once brought to normoxia. To better understand the molecular mechanism that enables insects to cope with low O2 stress, we performed RNA-seq to distinguish hypoxia-responsive genes in midguts and subsequently identified potential common cis-elements in promoters of hypoxia-induced and -repressed genes, respectively. Selected elements were subjected to gel-shift and transient transfection assays to confirm their cis-regulatory function. Of these putative common cis-elements, AREB6 appeared to regulate the expression of CmLPCAT and CmScylla, two hypoxia-induced genes. CmZFH, the putative AREB6-binding protein, was hypoxia-inducible. Transient expression of CmZFH in Drosophila S2 cells activated CmLPCAT and CmScylla, and their induction was likely through interaction of CmZFH with AREB6. Binding to AREB6 was further confirmed by bacterially expressed CmZFH recombinant protein. Deletion analyses indicated that the N-terminal zinc-finger cluster of CmZFH was the key AREB6-binding domain. Through in silico and experimental exploration, we discovered novel transcriptional regulatory components associated with gene expression dynamics under hypoxia that facilitated insect survival.

Genetics Responses to Hypoxia and Reoxygenation Stress in Larimichthys crocea Revealed via Transcriptome Analysis and Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11113021.

Abstract
Simple Summary Hypoxia, which occurs frequently in aquaculture, can cause serious harm to all aspects of the growth, reproduction and metabolism of cultured fish. Due to the intolerance of Larimichthys crocea to hypoxia, Larimichthys crocea often floats head or even dies under hypoxic environment. However, the molecular mechanism of hypoxia tolerance in Larimichthys crocea has not been fully described. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the hub regulatory genes under hypoxic stress environment by transcriptome analysis of three key tissues (liver, blood and gill) in Larimichthys crocea. We identified a number of important genes that exercise different regulatory functions. Overall, this study will provide important clues to the molecular mechanisms of hypoxia tolerance in Larimichthys crocea. Abstract The large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is an important marine economic fish in China; however, its intolerance to hypoxia causes widespread mortality. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance in L. crocea, the transcriptome gene expression profiling of three different tissues (blood, gills, and liver) of L. crocea exposed to hypoxia and reoxygenation stress were performed. In parallel, the gene relationships were investigated based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Accordingly, the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis showed that several pathways (e.g., energy metabolism, signal transduction, oxygen transport, and osmotic regulation) may be involved in the response of L. crocea to hypoxia and reoxygenation stress. In addition, also, four key modules (darkorange, magenta, saddlebrown, and darkolivegreen) that were highly relevant to the samples were identified by WGCNA. Furthermore, some hub genes within the association module, including RPS16, EDRF1, KCNK5, SNAT2, PFKL, GSK-3β, and PIK3CD, were found. This is the first study to report the co-expression patterns of a gene network after hypoxia stress in marine fish. The results provide new clues for further research on the molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance in L. crocea.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a frequent stressor in marine environments with multiple adverse effects on marine species. The white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei withstands hypoxic conditions by activating anaerobic metabolism with tissue-specific changes in glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes. In animal cells, glycolytic/gluconeogenic fluxes are highly controlled by the levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-P2), a signal metabolite synthesized and degraded by the bifunctional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2). PFK-2/FBPase-2 has been studied in vertebrates and some invertebrates, but as far as we know, there are no reports on PFK-2/FBPase-2 from crustaceans. In the present work, we obtained cDNA nucleotide sequences corresponding to two mRNAs for PFK-2/FBPase-2 and named them PFKFBP1 (1644 bp) and PFKFBP2 (1566 bp), from the white shrimp L. vannamei. The deduced PFKFBP1 and PFKFBP2 are 547 and 521 amino acids long, respectively. Both proteins share 99.23% of identity, and only differ in 26 additional amino acids present in the kinase domain of the PFKFBP1. The kinase and phosphatase domains are highly conserved in sequence and structure between both isoforms and other proteins from diverse taxa. Total expression of PFKFBP1-2 is tissue-specific, more abundant in gills than in hepatopancreas and undetectable in muscle. Moreover, severe hypoxia (1 mg/L of DO) decreased expression of PFKFBP1-2 in gills while anaerobic glycolysis was induced, as indicated by accumulation of cellular lactate. These results suggest that negative regulation of PFKFBP1-2 at expression level is necessary to set up anaerobic glycolysis in the cells during the response to hypoxia.

Abstract
The white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is exposed to hypoxic conditions in natural habitats and in shrimp farms. Hypoxia can retard growth, development and affect survival in shrimp. The hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) regulates many genes involved in glucose metabolism, antioxidant proteins, including metallothionein (MT) and apoptosis. In previous studies we found that the L. vannamei MT gene expression changed during hypoxia, and MT silencing altered cell apoptosis; in this study we investigated whether the silencing of HIF-1 affected MT expression and apoptosis. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was used to silence HIF-1α and HIF-1β under normoxia, hypoxia, and hypoxia plus reoxygenation. Expression of HIF-1α, HIF-1β and MT, and apoptosis in hemocytes or caspase-3 expression in gills, were measured at 0, 3, 24 and 48 h of hypoxia and hypoxia followed by 1 h of reoxygenation. The results showed that hemocytes HIF-1α expression was induced during hypoxia and reoxygenation at 3 h, while HIF-1β decreased at 24 and 48 h. In normoxia, HIF-1 silencing in hemocytes increased apoptosis at 3 h and decreased at 48 h; while in gills, caspase-3 increased at 3, 24 and 48 h. In hypoxia, HIF-1 silencing decreased apoptosis in hemocytes at 3 h, but caspase-3 increased in gills. During reoxygenation, apoptosis in hemocytes and caspase-3 in gills increased. During normoxia in hemocytes, silencing of HIF-1 decreased MT expression, but in gills, MT increased. During hypoxia and reoxygenation, silencing induced MT in hemocytes and gills. These results indicate HIF-1 differential participation in MT expression regulation and apoptosis during different oxygen conditions.

Abstract
The white shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei is the most economically important crustacean species cultivated in the Western Hemisphere. This crustacean shifts its metabolism to survive under extreme environmental conditions such as hypoxia, although for a limited time. Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is a key enzyme contributing to maintain blood glucose homeostasis through gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. To our knowledge, there are no current detailed studies about cDNA or gene sequences of G6Pase from any crustacean reported. Herein we report the shrimp P. (L.) vannamei cDNA and gene sequences. The gene contains seven exons interrupted by six introns. The deduced amino acid sequence has 35% identity to other homolog proteins, with the catalytic amino acids conserved and phylogenetically close to the corresponding invertebrate homologs. Protein molecular modeling predicted eight transmembrane helices with the catalytic site oriented towards the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. G6Pase expression under normoxic conditions was evaluated in hepatopancreas, gills, and muscle and the highest transcript abundance was detected in hepatopancreas. In response to different times of hypoxia, G6Pase mRNA expression did not change in hepatopancreas and became undetectable in muscle; however, in gills, its expression increased after 3 h and 24 h of oxygen limitation, indicating its essential role to maintain glycemic control in these conditions.

Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, but its linkage with locomotion in termites is not well understood, despite the demonstrated involvement of this gene in the locomotion of different animals. Here, we investigated the effect of the pfk gene on locomotion in the subterranean termite Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder through RNA interference and the use of an Ethovision XT tracking system. The knockdown of pfk resulted in significantly decreased expression of the pfk gene in different castes of termites. The pfk-silenced workers displayed higher levels of glucose but lower levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and decreased activity of the PFK enzyme. Furthermore, abnormal locomotion (decreased distance travelled, velocity and acceleration but increased turn angle, angular velocity and meander) was observed in different castes of pfk-silenced termites. We found caste-specific locomotion among workers, soldiers and dealates. Additionally, soldiers and dealates showed higher velocity in the inner zone than in the wall zone, which is considered an effective behaviour to avoid predation. These findings reveal the close linkage between the pfk gene and locomotion in termites, which helps us to better understand the regulatory mechanism and caste specificity of social behaviours in social insects.

Abstract
In this study, we scrutinized the anticancer effects of FB-15 on human gastric carcinoma MGC-803 cells in vitro and vivo, and its preliminary effect on tubulin and HIF-1α. We confirmed that FB-15 not only inhibited the proliferation of a large number of cells in a concentration and time-dependent manner but also inhibited proliferation of a single cell to form clones. FB-15 manifested little cytotoxicity for normal stomach cells GES-1. The flow cytometry analysis displayed that FB-15 induced apoptosis MGC-803 cells and mainly arrested cells in the S phase in a concentration-dependent manner. The results of the wound healing assay indicated that FB-15 suppressed cell migration. Furthermore, the western blotting showed that FB-15 down-regulated the expression of β3-tubulin and HIF-1α, consistent with Immunohistochemical assay. The binding modes of FB-15 with tubulin were clarified by molecular docking. FB-15 significantly suppressed the growth of MGC-803 gastric cancer tumors. The inhibitory effect of FB-15 on tumor growth was superior to 5-Fu. Taken together, these results provided evidence for FB-15 to be used as an effective anticancer drug candidate for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Silver sillago (Sillago sihama) is a commercially important marine fish species in East Asia. In this study, we compared the transcriptome response to hypoxia stress in the gill tissue of S. sihama. The fish were divided into four groups, such as 1 h of hypoxia (hypoxia1h, DO = 1.5 ± 0.1 mg/L), 4 h of hypoxia (hypoxia4h, DO = 1.5 ± 0.1 mg/L), 4 h of reoxygen (reoxygen4h, DO = 8.0 ± 0.2 mg/L) after 4 h of hypoxia (DO = 1.5 mg/L), and normoxia or control (DO = 8.0 ± 0.2 mg/L) groups. Compared to the normoxia group, a total of 3550 genes were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (log2foldchange > 1 and padj < 0.05), including 1103, 1451 and 996 genes in hypoxia1h, hypoxia4h and reoxygen4h groups, respectively. Only 247 DEGs were differentially co-expressed in all treatment groups. According to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, DEGs were significantly enriched in steroid biosynthesis, biosynthesis of amino acids, glutathione metabolism and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, ferroptosis and drug metabolism-cytochrome P450 pathways. Of these, the cytochrome P450 (CYP) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene families were widely expressed. Our study represents the insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of hypoxia stress.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed a resemblance of a HIF-regulated heart and brain glycolytic profiles prompting the hypothesis that the classical cell-to-cell lactate shuttle observed between astrocytes and neurons operates also in heart - between cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes. Here, we demonstrate that co-culturing of cardiomyocytes with cardiac fibroblasts leads to orchestrated changes in expression and/or localization pattern of glucose metabolism enzymes and lactate transport proteins in both cell types. These changes are regulated by paracrine signaling using microvesicle-packed and soluble factors released to the culture medium and, taken together, they concur with the cardiac lactate shuttle hypothesis. The results presented here show that similarity of heart and brain proteomes demonstrated earlier extend to physiological level and provide a theoretical rationale for designing novel therapeutic strategies for treatment of cardiomyopathies resulting from disruption of the maturation of cardiac metabolic pathways, and of heart failure associated with metabolic complications and age-related heart failure linked with extracellular matrix deposition and hypoxia.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a common stressor for aquaculture species. The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei survives low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions by adjusting its energy metabolism. In vertebrates, the transcription factor p53 regulates glucose metabolism under stress through diverse target genes like the Tp53-induced glycolysis and apoptotic regulator (TIGAR), a protein similar to fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase that has a pro-survival role in cells participating in the defense against oxidative damage. Until now, TIGAR has been not reported in any invertebrate species, including crustaceans. In this work, we report the molecular cloning of the white shrimp TIGAR. The cDNA sequence is 765 bp encoding a 254 amino acid protein. Bioinformatics analyses predicted that although the overall sequence identities of L. vannamei TIGAR and vertebrate proteins are not very high (33.61%-35.34%), they have a remarkable predicted structural similarity with full conservation of catalytic residues, secondary and three-dimensional structures. Gene expression analysis by RT-qPCR revealed that the mRNA abundance of TIGAR in white shrimp is tissue-specific under normal oxygen conditions, with higher expression in gills than hepatopancreas and muscle. Also, gene expression in gills and hepatopancreas is modified by environmental hypoxia, suggesting that TIGAR participates in the cellular tolerance of L. vannamei to this stressor.

Hypoxia inducible factor -1 regulates WSSV-induced glycolytic genes in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 92:165-171.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor -1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional factor that regulates the expression of several glycolytic genes. The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) induces a shift in glycolysis that favors viral replication in white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. HIF-1 is related to the pathogenesis of the WSSV infection through the induction of metabolic changes in infected white shrimp. Although the WSSV infection is associated with metabolic changes, the role of HIF-1 on key glycolytic genes during the WSSV infection has not been examined. In this work, we evaluated the effect of HIF-1α silencing on expression and activity of glycolytic enzymes (Hexokinase-HK, phosphofructokinase-PFK and pyruvate kinase-PK) along with the glucose transporter 1 (Glut1), regulatory enzymes (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-G6PDH and pyruvate dehydrogenase-PDH), and metabolic intermediates of glycolysis (glucose-6-phosphate-G6P and pyruvate). The expression of Glut1 increased in each tissue evaluated after WSSV infection, while HK, PFK and PK gene expression and enzyme activities increased in a tissue-specific manner. G6PDH activity increased during WSSV infection, and its substrate G6P decreased, while PDH activity decreased and its substrate pyruvate increased. Silencing of HIF-1α blocked the WSSV-induced Glut1 and glycolytic genes upregulation and enzyme activity in a tissue-specific manner. We conclude that HIF-1 regulates the WSSV-induced glycolysis through induction of glycolytic genes contributing to glucose metabolism in tissues of infected shrimp. Also, the inhibition, and activation of regulatory genes are likely to decrease the availability of the raw materials essential for WSSV replication and increase oxidative metabolism.

Regulation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by hypoxia inducible factor 1 in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei during hypoxia and reoxygenation. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2019; 235:56-65.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a frequent source of stress in the estuarine habitat of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. During hypoxia, L. vannamei gill cells rely more heavily on anaerobic glycolysis to obtain ATP. This is mediated by transcriptional up-regulation of glycolytic enzymes including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is an important transcriptional activator of several glycolytic enzymes during hypoxia in diverse animals, including crustaceans. In this work, we cloned and sequenced a fragment corresponding to the 5' flank of the GAPDH gene and identified a putative HIF-1 binding site, as well as sites for other transcription factors involved in the hypoxia signaling pathway. To investigate the role of HIF-1 in GAPDH regulation, we simultaneously injected double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into shrimp to silence HIF-1α and HIF-1β under normoxia, hypoxia, and hypoxia followed by reoxygenation, and then measured gill HIF-1α, HIF-1β expression, GAPDH expression and activity, and glucose and lactate concentrations at 0, 3, 24 and 48 h. During normoxia, HIF-1 silencing induced up-regulation of GAPDH transcripts and activity, suggesting that expression is down-regulated via HIF-1 under these conditions. In contrast, HIF-1 silencing during hypoxia abolished the increases in GAPDH expression and activity, glucose and lactate concentrations. Finally, HIF-1 silencing during hypoxia-reoxygenation prevented the increase in GAPDH expression, however, those changes were not reflected in GAPDH activity and lactate accumulation. Altogether, these results indicate that GAPDH and glycolysis are transcriptionally regulated by HIF-1 in gills of white shrimp.

Abstract
Hypoxia is one of the most common physiological stressors in shrimp farming. Post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs has been recognized as a ubiquitous strategy to enable transient phenotypic plasticity and adaptation to stressful environment, but involvement of microRNAs in hypoxia stress response of penaeid shrimp remains elusive. In this study, small RNA sequencing and comparative transcriptomic analysis was conducted to construct a comprehensive microRNA dataset for the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei exposed to hypoxia challenge. A total of 3324 known miRNAs and 8 putative novel miRNAs were identified, providing a valuable resource for future investigation on the functional mechanism of miRNAs in shrimp. Upon hypoxia, 1213 miRNAs showed significant differential expression, and many well-known miRNAs involved in hypoxia tolerance such as miR-210, let-7, miR-143 and miR-101 were identified. Remarkably, the vast majority of these miRNAs were up-regulated, suggesting that up-regulation of miRNAs may represent an effective strategy to inhibit protein translation under stressful hypoxic condition. The differentially expressed miRNAs were potentially targeting a wide variety of genes, including those with essential roles in hypoxia tolerance such as HIF1a and p53. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis further revealed that a broad range of biological processes and metabolic pathways were over-represented. Several GO terms associated with gene transcription and translation and KEGG pathways related to cytoskeleton remodeling, immune defense and signaling transduction were enriched, highlighting the crucial roles of these cellular events in the adaptation to hypoxia. Taken together, our study revealed that the differentially expressed miRNAs may regulate host response to hypoxia by modulating the expression of stress response genes such as HIF1a and p53 and affecting key cellular events involved in hypoxia adaptation. The findings would expand our knowledge of the biochemical and molecular underpinnings of hypoxia response strategies used by penaeid shrimp, and contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hypoxia tolerance in decapod crustaceans.

Abstract
Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional factor that induces genes involved in glucose metabolism. HIF-1 is formed by a regulatory α-subunit (HIF-1α) and a constitutive β-subunit (HIF-1β). The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) induces a shift in glucose metabolism and oxidative stress. HIF-1α is associated with the induction of metabolic changes in tissues of WSSV-infected shrimp. However, the contributions of HIF-1 to viral load and antioxidant responses in WSSV-infected shrimp have been not examined. In this study, the effect of HIF-1 silencing on viral load and the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase-SOD, glutathione S-transferase-GST, and catalase) along with oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl) in tissues of white shrimp infected with the WSSV were studied. The viral load increased in hepatopancreas and muscle after WSSV infection, and the accumulative mortality was of 100% at 72 h post-infection. The expression and activity of SOD, catalase, and GST decreased in each tissue evaluated after WSSV infection. Protein carbonyl concentrations increased in each tissue after WSSV infection, while lipid peroxidation increased in hepatopancreas, but not in muscle. Silencing of HIF-1α decreased the WSSV viral load in hepatopancreas and muscle of infected shrimp along with shrimp mortality. Silencing of HIF-1α ameliorated the antioxidant response in a tissue-specific manner, which translated to a decrease in oxidative damage. These results suggest that HIF-1 is essential for restoring the antioxidant response, which counters the oxidative injury associated with WSSV infection.

Abstract
Metabolic adaption to hypoxic stress in crustaceans implies a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key enzyme in glycolysis in prawns. However, very little is known about the role of LDH in hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathways of prawns. In this study, full-length cDNA of LDH (MnLDH) was obtained from the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense, and was characterized. The full-length cDNA is 2267-bp with an open reading frame of 999 bp coding for a protein of 333 amino acids with conserved domains important for function and regulation. Phylogenetic analysis showed that MnLDH is close to LDHs from other invertebrates. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that MnLDH is expressed in various tissues with the highest expression level in muscle. MnLDH mRNA transcript and protein abundance in muscle, but not in hepatopancreas, were induced by hypoxia. Silencing of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) α or HIF-1β subunits blocked the hypoxia-dependent increase of LDH expression and enzyme activity in muscle. A series of MnLDH promoter sequences, especially the full-length promoter, generated an increase in luciferase expression relative to promoterless vector; furthermore, the expression of luciferase was induced by hypoxia. These results demonstrate that MnLDH is probably involved a HIF-1-dependent pathway during hypoxia in the highly active metabolism of muscle.

Abstract
Some marine crustaceans like the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei are tolerant to environmental hypoxia. Under oxygen deprivation, shrimp tissues obtain energy by enhancing anaerobic glycolysis. In mammals, hypoxia increases the expression of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which has been shown a "moonlighting" role in cells. However, the effect of hypoxia on the GAPDH expression has not been studied in crustaceans. In the present work, we obtained a 2744 bp gene sequence with a 999 bp ORF split by a single intron. The deduced protein is 332 amino acids and corresponds to the L. vannamei GAPDH (LvGAPDH), which is highly similar in sequence and structure to other animal GAPDHs. During hypoxia, LvGAPDH expression is significantly induced in gills but not in hepatopancreas, suggesting that it may play a role in the molecular and cellular response of shrimp to hypoxia.

Regulation of lactate dehydrogenase in response to WSSV infection in the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2018; 74:401-409.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is key for anaerobic glycolysis. LDH is induced by the hypoxia inducible factor -1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 induces genes involved in glucose metabolism and regulates cellular oxygen homeostasis. HIF-1 is formed by a regulatory α-subunit (HIF-1α) and a constitutive β-subunit (HIF-1β). The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) induces anaerobic glycolysis in shrimp hemocytes, associated with lactate accumulation. Although infection and lactate production are associated, the LDH role in WSSV-infected shrimp has not been examined. In this work, the effects of HIF-1 silencing on the expression of two LDH subunits (LDHvan-1 and LDHvan-2) in shrimp infected with the WSSV were studied. HIF-1α transcripts increased in gills, hepatopancreas, and muscle after WSSV infection, while HIF-1β remained constitutively expressed. The expression for both LDH subunits increased in each tissue evaluated during the WSSV infection, translating into increased enzyme activity. Glucose concentration increased in each tissue evaluated, while lactate increased in gills and hepatopancreas, but not in muscle. Silencing of HIF-1α blocked the increase of LDH expression and enzyme activity, along with glucose (all tissues) and lactate (gills and hepatopancreas) concentrations produced by WSSV infection. These results demonstrate that HIF-1 up regulates the expression of LDH subunits during WSSV infection, and that this induction contributes to substrate metabolism in energetically active tissues of infected shrimp.

Abstract
Although hypoxic aquatic environments cause negative effects on shrimp, these animals can withstand somewhat hypoxia, but the cellular mechanisms underlying this capacity are still poorly understood. In humans, mild hypoxia causes the induction of many proteins to allow cell survival. In contrast, apoptosis is induced during severe hypoxia leading to cell death. p53 is a key transcription factor that determines cells fate towards cell cycle arrest or induction of apoptosis in humans. The aim of this work was to study the role of p53 in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis in response to hypoxia in hepatopancreas of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. p53 was silenced by RNAi and afterwards the shrimp were exposed to hypoxia. Cdk-2 was used as indicator of cell cycle progression while caspase-3 expression and caspase activity were analyzed as indicators of apoptosis. p53 levels in hepatopancreas were significantly higher at 48 h after hypoxic treatment. Increased expression levels of Cdk-2 were found in p53-silenced shrimp after 24 and 48 h in the normoxic treatments as well as 48 h after hypoxia, indicating a possible role of p53 in cell cycle regulation. In response to hypoxia, unsilenced shrimp showed an increase in caspase-3 expression levels, however an increase was also observed in caspase activity at 24 h of normoxic conditions in p53-silenced shrimps. Taken together these results indicate the involvement of p53 in regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis in the white shrimp in response to hypoxia.

Abstract
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is considered a "glucose-intolerant" species. With the aim of programming trout to improve their metabolic use of dietary carbohydrates, we hypothesised that a hypoxic stimulus applied during embryogenesis could later affect glucose metabolism at the first-feeding stage. An acute hypoxic stimulus (2.5 or 5.0 mg·L-1 O2) was applied for 24 h to non-hatched embryos or early hatched alevins followed by a challenge test with a high carbohydrate diet at first-feeding. The effectiveness of the early hypoxic stimulus was confirmed by the induction of oxygen-sensitive markers such as egln3. At first-feeding, trout previously subjected to the 2.5 mg·L-1 O2 hypoxia displayed a strong induction of glycolytic and glucose transport genes, whereas these glucose metabolism-related genes were affected much less in trout subjected to the less severe (5.0 mg·L-1 O2) hypoxia. Our results demonstrate that an acute hypoxic stimulus during early development can affect glucose metabolism in trout at first-feeding.
