Genome sequencing, comparative analysis, and gene expression responses of cytochrome P450 genes in Oryzias curvinotus provide insights into environmental adaptation. Ecol Evol 2024; 14:e11565. [PMID: 38895576 PMCID: PMC11184212 DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The mangrove fish (Oryzias curvinotus) serves as a model for researching environmental adaptation and sexual development. To further such research, we sequenced and assembled a high-quality 842 Mb reference genome for O. curvinotus. Comparative genomic analysis revealed 891 expanded gene families, including significantly expanded cytochrome P450 (CYP) detoxification genes known to be involved in xenobiotic defense. We identified 69 O. curvinotus CYPs (OcuCYPs) across 18 families and 10 clans using multiple methods. Extensive RNA-seq and qPCR analysis demonstrated diverse spatiotemporal expression patterns of OcuCYPs by developmental stage, tissue type, sex, and pollutant exposure (17β-estradiol (E2) and testosterone (MT)). Many OcuCYPs exhibited sexual dimorphism in gonads, suggesting reproductive roles in steroidogenesis, while their responsiveness to model toxicants indicates their importance in environmental adaptation through enhanced detoxification. Pathway analysis highlighted expanded CYP genes in arachidonic acid metabolism, drug metabolism, and steroid hormone biosynthesis. This chromosome-level genomic resource provides crucial biological insights to elucidate the functional roles of expanded CYPs in environmental adaptation, sexual development, early life history, and conservation in the anthropogenically impacted mangrove habitats of O. curvinotus. It also enables future ecotoxicology research leveraging O. curvinotus as a pollution sentinel species.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs), as one of the most diverse enzyme superfamilies in nature, play critical functions in antioxidant reactions against endogenous and exogenous compounds. In this study, we performed genome-wide characterization of CYP superfamily members and analyzed their expression patterns under several abiotic stresses in spotted sea bass, which is known as an economically important fish species in the Chinese aquaculture industry. A total of 55 CYP genes were identified and divided into 17 families within 10 clans. The analysis of phylogeny, gene structure, and syntenic relationships provided evidence for the evolution of CYP genes and confirmed their annotation and orthology. The expression of CYP genes was examined in the liver during trichlorfon stress using quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that 20 tested CYP genes displayed significant mRNA expression changes, indicating that they may play crucial roles in the metabolism of trichlorfon and can be potential biomarkers for trichlorfon pollution. Moreover, by screening transcriptomic databases, 10, 3 and 19 CYP genes exhibited differential expression patterns in response to hypoxia, alkalinity and heat stress, respectively. Taken together, this study provided insights into the regulation of CYP genes by toxicological and environmental stresses, laid basis for extensive functional studies of the CYP superfamily in spotted sea bass and other teleost species.

Abstract
Black porgy is an important marine aquaculture fish species whose production is at the fifth position in all kinds of marine-cultured fishes in China. In this study, Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology was used to sequence the total RNA of black porgy. Sixty-one candidate SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) were screened out and genotyped through GATK4 (Genome Analysis ToolKit) software and MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/ Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry). The experimental results showed that a total of sixty SNPs were successfully genotyped, with a success rate of 98.36%. The results of principal component analysis and correlation analysis of growth traits showed that body weight was the first principal component, with a cumulative contribution rate of 74%. There were significant correlations (p < 0.05) or extremely significant correlations (p < 0.01) between different growth traits. The results of genetic parameter analysis and association analysis showed that scaffold12-12716321, scaffold13-4787950, scaffold2-13687576 and scaffold290-11890 were four SNPs that met the requirement of polymorphic information content and conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There were significant differences between their genotype and the phenotype of growth traits. The four SNP molecular markers developed in this research will lay a foundation for further exploration of molecular markers related to the growth traits of black porgy and will provide a scientific reference for the further study of its growth mechanisms. At the same time, these molecular markers can be applied to the production practices of black porgy, so as to realize selective breeding at the molecular level and speed up the breeding process.

Front Physiol 2022; 12:802584. [PMID: 35095564 PMCID: PMC8792746 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.802584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Mosquitoes’ increasing resistance to insecticides is becoming a major threat for control efforts worldwide. Multiple P450 genes that are up-regulated in permethrin resistant strains of Culex quinquefasciatus have been linked to the development of resistance. In the current study, we characterized the function of six P450 genes, CYP6P14, CYP6BZ2, CYP9J33, CYP9J34, CYP9J40, and CYP9J45, that are overexpressed in the permethrin resistant Culex mosquitoes and showed their capability in metabolism of permethrin. These six P450 genes can convert 3-phenoxybenzoic alcohol (PBCHO) to a less toxic product, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (PBCOOH), indicating that these P450s play an important role in permethrin degradation pathways. Although we know multiple P450 genes are over-expressed in permethrin resistant Culex mosquitoes, it remains to be seen whether cytochrome P450-reductase (CPR) gene that are co-overexpressed with P450 genes in permethrin resistant mosquitoes do indeed serve as a resistance mechanism. An in-depth investigation of the expression of CPR gene in resistant mosquitoes was conducted in permethrin resistant mosquitoes. The finding of CPR gene overexpression in permethrin resistant mosquitoes suggested the importance of co-overexpression of multiple P450 genes with their obligatory electron donor CPR in the complex detoxification system, boosting the metabolism of permethrin and hence the development of permethrin resistance in Cx. quinquefasciatus.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2019; 254:113092.

Abstract
Because of its analgesic properties, acetaminophen (AAP) is widely used to relieve headache. AAP is generally considered safe for humans, but its effects on aquatic organisms are not well known. Here, we have hypothesis that effects of AAP on aquatic organisms would be environmental temperature dependent, because their physiological function depend on the temperature. To test this hypothesis, we used medaka (Oryzias latipes) as a model, because they can live at a wide range of temperatures (0-40 °C). We exposed medaka larvae to 0 (control), 50, or 150 mg/L of AAP at 15, 25 (optimal temperature), or 30 °C for 4 days. Egg yolk absorption was accelerated with raising temperature at any AAP dose. AAP exposure did not have biologically significant effects on survival ratio and body length of larvae at any tested temperature or dose, but heart rate decreased as the dose of AAP and environmental temperature increased. In addition, as the temperature increased, amount of ATP in individual larvae increased in control group, but decreased in AAP exposed group. Subsequently, exposure to 150 mg/L of AAP at 30 °C decreased the number of red blood cells in the gills; we used 150 mg/L of AAP in subsequent hematological and histological analyses. Hematological analysis showed that rising temperature increased the proportion of morphologically abnormal red blood cells in AAP-exposed larvae, suggesting that AAP induced anemia-like signs in larvae. Histological observation of the kidney, which is a hematopoietic organ in fish, revealed no abnormalities. However, in the liver, which is responsible for drug metabolism, the proportion of vacuoles increased with increasing temperature. Although the exposure concentration we tested was higher than environmentally relevant concentrations, our data indicated that rising temperature enhances the toxicity of AAP to medaka larvae, suggesting an ecological risk of AAP due to global warming.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a family of membrane-bound mono-oxygenase proteins, which are involved in cell metabolism and detoxification of various xenobiotic substances. In this study, we identified 58 putative CYP genes in Amur stickleback (Pungitius sinensis) based on the transcriptome sequencing. Conserved motif distribution suggested their functional relevance within each group. Some present recombination events have accelerated the evolution of this gene family. Moreover, a few positive selection sites were identified, which may have accelerated the functional divergence of this family of proteins. Expression patterns of these CYP genes were investigated and indicated that most were affected by dimethoate treatment, suggesting that CYPs were involved in the detoxication of dimethoate. This study will provide a foundation for the further functional investigation of CYP genes in fishes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) encode one of the most diverse enzyme superfamily in nature. They catalyze oxidative reactions of endogenous molecules and exogenous chemicals. METHODS We identified CYPs genes through in silico analysis using EST, RNA-Seq and genome databases of channel catfish. Phylogenetic analyses and conserved syntenic analyses were conducted to determine their identities and orthologies. Meta-analysis of RNA-Seq databases was conducted to analyze expression profile of CYP genes following bacterial infection. RESULTS A full set of 61 CYP genes was identified and characterized in channel catfish. Phylogenetic tree and conserved synteny provided strong evidence of their identities and orthorlogy. Lineage-specific gene duplication was evident in a number of clans in channel catfish. CYP46A1 is missing in the catfish genome as observed with syntenic analysis and RT-PCR analysis. Thirty CYPs were found up- or down-regulated in liver, while seven and eight CYPs were observed regulated in intestine and gill following bacterial infection. CONCLUSION We systematically identified and characterized a full set of 61 CYP genes in channel catfish and studied their expression profiles after bacterial infection. While bacterial challenge altered the expression of large numbers of CYP genes, the mechanisms and significance of these changes are not known. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This work provides an example to systematically study CYP genes in non-model species. Moreover, it provides a basis for further toxicological and physiological studies in channel catfish.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are members of the hemoprotein superfamily, and are involved in the mono-oxygenation reactions of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous compounds in mammals and plants. Characterization of CYP genes in fish has been carried out intensively over the last 20 years. In Japanese pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes), 54 genes encoding P450s have been identified. Across all species of fish, 137 genes encoding P450s have been identified. These genes are classified into 18 CYP families: namely, CYP1, CYP2, CYP3, CYP4, CYP5, CYP7, CYP8, CYP11, CYP17, CYP19, CYP20, CYP21, CYP24, CYP26, CYP27, CYP39, CYP46 and CYP51.We pinpointed eight CYP families: namely, CYP1, CYP2, CYP3, CYP4, CYP11, CYP17, CYP19 and CYP26 in this review because these CYP families are studied in detail. Studies of fish P450s have provided insights into the regulation of P450 genes by environmental stresses including water pollution. In this review, we present an overview of the CYP families in fish.

Abstract
Mammalian cytochrome P450 1 (CYP1) genes are well characterized, but in other vertebrates only the functions of CYP1A genes have been well studied. We determined the catalytic activity of zebrafish CYP1A, CYP1B1, CYP1C1, CYP1C2, and CYP1D1 proteins using 11 fluorometric substrates and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). The resorufin-based substrates, 7-ethoxyresorufin, 7-methoxyresorufin, and 7-benzyloxyresorufin, were well metabolized by all CYP1s except CYP1D1. CYP1A metabolized nearly all substrates tested, although rates for non-resorufin substrates were typically lower than resorufin-based substrates. Zebrafish CYP1s did not metabolize 7-benzyloxyquinoline, 3-[2-(N,N-diethyl-N-methylamino)ethyl]-7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin or 7-methoxy-4-(aminomethyl)-coumarin. CYP1B1 and CYP1C2 had the highest rates of BaP metabolism. 3-Hydroxy-BaP was a prominent metabolite for all but CYP1D1. CYP1A showed broad specificity and had the highest metabolic rates for nearly all substrates. CYP1C1 and CYP1C2 had similar substrate specificity. CYP1D1 had very low activities for all substrates except BaP, and a different regioselectivity for BaP, suggesting that CYP1D1 function may be different from other CYP1s.

Abstract
Cytochrome P4501 (CYP1) and CYP3A proteins are primarily responsible for the metabolism of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) in mammals. We have cloned and heterologously expressed CYP1A, CYP1B1, CYP1C1, CYP1C2, CYP1D1, and CYP3A65 from zebrafish (Danio rerio) to determine the CYP-mediated metabolism of E(2) in a non-mammalian species. Constructs of each CYP cDNA were created using a leader sequence from the bacterial ompA gene to allow appropriate expression in Escherichia coli without 5' modification of the gene. Membrane vesicles were purified, and functional CYP protein was verified using carbon monoxide difference spectra and fluorescent catalytic assays with the substrates 7-ethoxyresorufin and 7-benzyloxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-coumarin. Rates of in vitro E(2) metabolism into 4-hydroxyE(2) (4-OHE(2)), 2-hydroxyE(2) (2-OHE(2)), and 16alpha-hydroxyE(1) (16alpha-OHE(1)) metabolites were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The 2-OHE(2) metabolite was produced by all CYPs tested, while 4-OHE(2) was only detected following incubation with CYP1A, CYP1B1, CYP1C1, and CYP1C2. The 16alpha-OHE(1) metabolite was only produced by CYP1A. The highest rates of E(2) metabolism were from CYP1A and CYP1C1, followed by CYP1C2. CYP1B1, CYP1D1, and CYP3A65 had low rates of E(2) metabolism. E(2) metabolism by zebrafish CYP1A, CYP1C1, and CYP1C2 produced similar ratios of 4-OHE(2) to 2-OHE(2) as previous studies with mammalian CYP1As. CYP1B1 formed the highest ratio of 4-OHE(2) to 2-OHE(2) metabolites. Contrary to mammals, these results suggest that fish CYP1A and CYP1C proteins are primarily responsible for E(2) metabolism, with only minor contributions from CYP3A65 and CYP1B1. Similar to mammals, 2-OHE(2) is the predominant metabolite from CYP-mediated E(2) metabolism in fish, suggesting that all vertebrate species produce the same major E(2) metabolite.

Assessment of cytochrome P450 fluorometric substrates with rainbow trout and killifish exposed to dexamethasone, pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile, rifampicin, and beta-naphthoflavone. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2010; 97:324-333.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are important xenobiotic metabolizing proteins. While their functions are well understood in mammals, CYP function in non-mammalian vertebrate systems is much less defined, with function often inferred from mammalian data, assuming similar function across vertebrate species. In this study, we investigate whether in vivo treatment with known mammalian CYP inducers can alter the in vitro catalytic activity of fish microsomes using eleven fluorescent CYP-mediated substrates. We investigate the basal metabolism and induction potential for hepatic CYPs in two fish species, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus). Species differences were found in the baseline metabolism of these substrates. Killifish have significantly higher metabolic rates for all tested substrates except 7-benzyloxyquinoline and 7-benzyloxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (both mammalian CYP3A substrates); significant differences were also seen between male and female killifish. Treatment with dexamethasone, pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile, and rifampicin did not cause broad, measurable CYP induction in either fish species. In trout, dexamethasone (100 mg kg(-1)) significantly induced 3-cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism and rifampicin (100 mg kg(-1)) induced the dealkylation of 7-methoxyresorufin, although both were highly variable. Female killifish exposed to pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile (100 mg kg(-1)) showed significantly higher metabolism of 7-pentoxyresorufin. Overall, dexamethasone, pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile and rifampicin did not appear to consistently increase CYP activity in fish. Trout treated with 10 or 50 mg kg(-1) beta-naphthoflavone (BNF), a CYP1A inducer, showed significantly induced activity across almost all substrates tested, exceptions being 7-benzyloxyquinoline, 7-benzyloxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin and dibenzylfluorescein. 7-Methoxy-4-(aminomethyl)coumarin, a typical CYP2D substrate in mammals, was not metabolized by untreated fish liver microsomes; however, treatment with BNF significantly induced the metabolism of this substrate in trout. Induced substrate metabolism in BNF-treated microsomes was only correlated across selective substrates, suggesting that BNF induces multiple CYPs in fish liver. These include the known BNF inducible CYP1s plus a number of as yet unidentified fish CYPs. Overall, many of these catalytic assays could be valuable tools for identification of the function of specific CYP subfamilies and individual isoforms in fish.

Effects of synthetic polycyclic musks on estrogen receptor, vitellogenin, pregnane X receptor, and cytochrome P450 3A gene expression in the livers of male medaka (Oryzias latipes). AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2008; 90:261-268.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the effects of synthetic polycyclic musks such as Galaxolide (HHCB), Tonalide (AHTN), Traseolide (ATII), Celestolide (ADBI), Phantolide (AHMI) and Cashmeran (DPMI), both on the early life stage and on gene expression in the livers of male medaka (Oryzias latipes). The toxicity ranking (the 96-h median lethal concentration) of the chemicals tested on 24-h-old medaka larvae descended in the order HHCB (0.95 mg/L)=ATII (0.95 mg/L)>AHTN (1.0 mg/L)>AHMI (1.2 mg/L)>ADBI (2.0 mg/L)>>DPMI (12 mg/L), indicating high acute toxicity of these compounds on the early life stages of medaka. Expression analysis of hepatic vitellogenin (VTG) protein showed potential estrogenic effects upon the addition of AHTN and HHCB, indicative of the induction of VTG synthesis in the livers of male medaka. We also investigated mRNA expression levels of two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes (ERalpha and beta), two VTGs (VTG I and II), pregnane X receptor (PXR), and two cytochromes P450 (CYP) 3As (CYP3A38 and 3A40) in the livers of male medaka treated with AHTN and HHCB at 5, 50 and 500 microg/L. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed that hepatic ERalpha, VTG I, VTG II, and CYP3A40 mRNA responded to 500 microg/L of AHTN and/or HHCB after 3 days exposure, whereas no effects of these compounds on ERbeta, PXR, and CYP3A38 mRNA transcription were observed. These results suggest that certain polycyclic musks, including AHTN and HHCB, induce the expression levels of hepatic ERalpha and VTG mRNA/protein and modulate expression levels of CYP3A40 mRNA in the livers of male medaka.

Abstract
A strong foundation of basic and applied research documents that the estuarine fish Fundulus heteroclitus and related species are unique laboratory and field models for understanding how individuals and populations interact with their environment. In this paper we summarize an extensive body of work examining the adaptive responses of Fundulus species to environmental conditions, and describe how this research has contributed importantly to our understanding of physiology, gene regulation, toxicology, and ecological and evolutionary genetics of teleosts and other vertebrates. These explorations have reached a critical juncture at which advancement is hindered by the lack of genomic resources for these species. We suggest that a more complete genomics toolbox for F. heteroclitus and related species will permit researchers to exploit the power of this model organism to rapidly advance our understanding of fundamental biological and pathological mechanisms among vertebrates, as well as ecological strategies and evolutionary processes common to all living organisms.

Barber DS, McNally AJ, Garcia-Reyero N, Denslow ND. Exposure to p,p'-DDE or dieldrin during the reproductive season alters hepatic CYP expression in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2007; 81:27-35. [PMID: 17145087 PMCID: PMC1847780 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2006.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2006] [Revised: 10/20/2006] [Accepted: 10/26/2006] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Largemouth bass (LMB) in Central Florida living on sites with high levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have exhibited poor reproductive success and altered steroid profiles. The mechanism underlying these changes is unknown, however changes in the rate of steroid metabolism could alter steroid homeostasis. Members of the CYP2 and CYP3A families play a significant role in the metabolism of many xenobiotics and endogenous compounds, including sex steroids. Therefore, the goal of this study was to identify members of the CYP2 and CYP3A families in LMB and characterize the effects of OCP exposure on their expression. Full-length clones of two CYP3A isoforms were obtained from LMB liver, CYP3A68 and 3A69, which exhibited significant sequence divergence. Full-length clones for CYP2N14 and CYP2P11 were also obtained from LMB liver. Steady-state mRNA levels of each of these CYPs increased in both sexes between early reproductive phase (December) and peak reproductive phase (March). Expression of CYP3A68 and CYP2P11 was sexually dimorphic during peak reproductive phase with 2-fold higher expression in females and males, respectively. Foodborne exposure to 46 ppm p,p'-DDE or 0.8 ppm dieldrin for 30 days did not have a significant effect on expression of CYPs. However, 4 months exposure to p,p'-DDE induced CYP3A68 and 3A69 expression in both sexes, while dieldrin produced weak induction of CYP3A68 and suppressed CYP3A69 expression in females, but had no effect on males. Neither p,p'-DDE nor dieldrin significantly altered the expression of CYP2P11 or CYP2N14. This work demonstrates that there are significant changes in CYP expression that occur during LMB reproduction which can be modified by exposure to OCPs.
