Abstract
Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) is a pelagic piscivore distributed circumglobally. Owing to its great market value, the growth mechanism of S. lalandi, including muscle development and growth, is a hot research topic. The myoblast determination protein (MyoD) gene has been shown to play an important role in formation of myoblasts and the function of somites in fish. The open reading frame (ORF) sequences of MyoD1 and MyoD2 in S. lalandi encoded 298 and 263 amino acids possessing three common characteristic domains, respectively, containing a myogenic basic domain, a bHLH domain, and a ser-rich region (helix III). S. lalandi MyoDs shared the highest identity with the MyoDs of S. dumerili. MyoDs are highly expressed in white muscle (P < 0.05) in S. lalandi. The expression level of MyoD1 mRNA was higher than that of MyoD2 mRNA during embryonic and early developmental stages, indicating that the two MyoD isoforms may have different roles in muscle formation. Moreover, the mRNA expression of MyoDs in the brain, pituitary, liver and muscle of endocrine growth axis were analyzed in the various sizes and ages stages. The expression levels of MyoDs in the different sizes and ages of S. lalandi showed that expression of both these genes was particularly high in 400-g fish and 2-year-old fish (P < 0.05). Moreover, the increases in the mRNA expression and plasma levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) were accompanied by an increase in mRNA expression of MyoDs, indicating the roles of GH and IGF-I in muscle development and growth of S. lalandi. Overall, the expression profiles of genes associated with muscle development are the first step taken towards deciphering fast growth mechanism in this important Seriola fish.

J Dev Biol 2023; 11:jdb11020019. [PMID: 37218813 DOI: 10.3390/jdb11020019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The MyoD gene was duplicated during the teleost whole genome duplication and, while a second MyoD gene (MyoD2) was subsequently lost from the genomes of some lineages (including zebrafish), many fish lineages (including Alcolapia species) have retained both MyoD paralogues. Here we reveal the expression patterns of the two MyoD genes in Oreochromis (Alcolapia) alcalica using in situ hybridisation. We report our analysis of MyoD1 and MyoD2 protein sequences from 54 teleost species, and show that O. alcalica, along with some other teleosts, include a polyserine repeat between the amino terminal transactivation domains (TAD) and the cysteine-histidine rich region (H/C) in MyoD1. The evolutionary history of MyoD1 and MyoD2 is compared to the presence of this polyserine region using phylogenetics, and its functional relevance is tested using overexpression in a heterologous system to investigate subcellular localisation, stability, and activity of MyoD proteins that include and do not include the polyserine region.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is formed by multinucleated myofibers originated by waves of hyperplasia and hypertrophy during myogenesis. Tissue damage triggers a regeneration process including new myogenesis and muscular remodeling. During myogenesis, the fusion of myoblasts is a key step that requires different genes' expression, including the fusogens myomaker and myomixer. The present work aimed to characterize these proteins in gilthead sea bream and their possible role in in vitro myogenesis, at different fish ages and during muscle regeneration after induced tissue injury. Myomaker is a transmembrane protein highly conserved among vertebrates, whereas Myomixer is a micropeptide that is moderately conserved. myomaker expression is restricted to skeletal muscle, while the expression of myomixer is more ubiquitous. In primary myocytes culture, myomaker and myomixer expression peaked at day 6 and day 8, respectively. During regeneration, the expression of both fusogens and all the myogenic regulatory factors showed a peak after 16 days post-injury. Moreover, myomaker and myomixer were present at different ages, but in fingerlings there were significantly higher transcript levels than in juveniles or adult fish. Overall, Myomaker and Myomixer are valuable markers of muscle growth that together with other regulatory molecules can provide a deeper understanding of myogenesis regulation in fish.

Functional analysis of two MyoDs revealed their role in the activation of myomixer expression in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) (Hottuyn, 1782). Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 156:1081-1090.

Abstract
Myoblast determination protein (MyoD), a muscle-specific basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, plays a pivotal role in regulating skeletal muscle growth and development. However, the regulation mechanism of MyoD has not been determined in marine fishes. In the present study, we isolated the MyoD1 (AlMyoD1) and MyoD2 (AlMyoD2) genomic sequences and analyzed the expression patterns in different tissues of yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus). The open reading frame (ORF) sequences of AlMyoD1 and AlMyoD2 encoded 297 and 271 amino acids possessing three common characteristic domains, respectively, containing a myogenic basic domain, a bHLH domain, and a ser-rich region (helix III). Phylogenetic and genome structure analyses exhibited classic phylogeny and highly conserved exon/intron architecture. Furthermore, the AlMyoD1 and AlMyoD2 transcription levels were higher in white muscle than in the other tissues. In order to further study AlMyoD function in muscle, promoter sequence analysis found that several E-box binding sites were present. Additionally, binding sites of Almyomixer involved in mammal myoblast fusion, which expression was also the highest in white muscle, were found in the promoter of AlMyoD. Pomoter activity assays further confirmed that both AlMyoD1 and AlMyoD2 can dramatically activate Almyomixer expression, and the AlMyoD1 M2 and AlMyoD2 M5 E-box binding sites were functionally important for Almyomixer transcription based on mutation analysis and electrophoretic mobile shift assays (EMSA). In summary, two MyoDs play a core role in Almyomixer regulation and may promote myofibre formation during muscle development and growth by regulating Almyomixer expression.

Profiling of the embryonic Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.) transcriptome reveals maternal transcripts as potential markers of embryo quality. BMC Genomics 2014; 15:829. [PMID: 25269745 PMCID: PMC4246526 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2164-15-829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2014] [Accepted: 09/25/2014] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Commercial Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) farming is restricted by variable oocyte quality, slow growth, and early maturation of male fish. Maternally transferred components regulate early developmental processes; therefore, they have an effect on the future viability of the embryo. Using a newly developed Agilent 10 k custom-made oligonucleotide array, we profiled components of the transcriptome involved in immune defence as well as germline and muscle development during early developmental stages: 8-cell embryos (8CS), germ ring stage (GR), 10-somite stage (10SS), and hatched embryos (HT). In addition, we identified differentially expressed transcripts in low (≤9 ± 3% hatching) and high (≥86 ± 3°% hatching) quality eggs at 8CS to identify potential maternal markers for embryo quality. RESULTS Out of 2066 differentially expressed transcripts, 160 were identified as maternal transcripts being specifically expressed at 8CS only. Twenty transcripts were differentially expressed in 8-cell embryos between low and high quality egg groups. Several immune-related transcripts were identified as promising molecular markers of hatching success including interferon regulatory factor 7 and mhc class 2A chain. Differential expression was positively validated with quantitative real-time PCR. CONCLUSIONS We have demonstrated maternal transfer of innate and adaptive immune system transcripts into Atlantic halibut embryos and their relation with future embryo developmental potential. We identified several transcripts as potential molecular markers of embryo quality. The developed microarray represents a useful resource for improving the commercial production of Atlantic halibut.

Abstract
Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions, "metamorphoses," as they progress between morphologically divergent life stages. The larval metamorphosis that generally occurs as teleosts mature from larva to juvenile involves the loss of embryo-specific features, the development of new adult features, major remodeling of different organ systems, and changes in physical proportions and overall phenotype. Yet, in contrast to anuran amphibians, for example, teleost metamorphosis can entail morphological change that is either sudden and profound, or relatively gradual and subtle. Here, we review the definition of metamorphosis in teleosts, the diversity of teleost metamorphic strategies and the transitions they involve, and what is known of their underlying endocrine and genetic bases. We suggest that teleost metamorphosis offers an outstanding opportunity for integrating our understanding of endocrine mechanisms, cellular processes of morphogenesis and differentiation, and the evolution of diverse morphologies and life histories.
