Multi-Omics Approaches for Freshness Estimation and Detection of Illicit Conservation Treatments in Sea Bass ( Dicentrarchus Labrax): Data Fusion Applications. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1509. [PMID: 38338789 PMCID: PMC10855268 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Fish freshness consists of complex endogenous and exogenous processes; therefore, the use of a few parameters to unravel illicit practices could be insufficient. Moreover, the development of strategies for the identification of such practices based on additives known to prevent and/or delay fish spoilage is still limited. The paper deals with the identification of the effect played by a Cafodos solution on the conservation state of sea bass at both short-term (3 h) and long-term (24 h). Controls and treated samples were characterized by a multi-omic approach involving proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics. Different parts of the fish samples were studied (muscle, skin, eye, and gills) and sampled through a non-invasive procedure based on EVA strips functionalized by ionic exchange resins. Data fusion methods were then applied to build models able to discriminate between controls and treated samples and identify the possible markers of the applied treatment. The approach was effective in the identification of the effect played by Cafodos that proved to be different in the short- and long-term and complex, involving proteins, lipids, and small molecules to a different extent.

Abstract
Calreticulin (Crt), a conserved lectin-like pleiotropic protein, plays crucial roles in mammalian immune response. In fish, the immunological function of Crt is limited investigated. Herein, we studied the antibacterial immunity of two type of Crt homologues (i.e. PoCrt-1 and PoCrt-2) in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). PoCrt-1 and PoCrt-2 are composed of 419 and 427 amino acid residues respectively, with 69.09% overall sequence identities with each other. Both PoCrt-1 and PoCrt-2 contain a signal peptide and three functional domains i.e. N-, P- and C-domains. Both PoCrt-1 and PoCrt-2 were constitutively expressed at various tissues with highest expression level in liver, and obviously regulated by Edwardsiella tarda and Vibrio harveyi. Furthermore, recombinant PoCrt-1 and PoCrt-2 (rPoCrt-1 and rPoCrt-2) could bind to different Gram-negative bacteria with highest binding index with E. tarda. At same time, in vitro rPoCrt-1 and rPoCrt-2 could agglutinate E. tarda, V. harveyi, and Vibrio anguillarum, and inhibit the bacterial growth. Similarly, in vivo rPoCrt-1 and rPoCrt-2 could significantly suppress the dissemination of E. tarda. Overall, these observations add new insights into the antibacterial immunity of Crt in P. olivaceus.

A novel calreticulin-related molecule that interacts with bacteria and enhances host resistance against bacterial infection in black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 93:823-831. [PMID: 31422181 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2019.08.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Calreticulin (CRT) is a highly conserved and multi-functional protein with diverse localizations. CRT has lectin-like properties and possesses important immunological activities in mammalian. In teleost, very limited studies on CRT immunologic function have been documented. In the present study, a CRT homologue (SsCRT) was cloned, identified and characterized from black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, an important aquaculture species in East Asia. The full length of SsCRT cDNA is 2180 bp and encoded a polypeptide of 425 amino acids. SsCRT contains a signal peptide, three distinct structural and functional domains (N-, P- and C-domains), and an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retrieval signal sequence (KDEL). The deduced amino acid sequence of SsCRT shares 89-92% overall sequence identities with the CRT proteins of several fish species. SsCRT was distributed ubiquitously in all the detected tissues and was highly expressed in the spleen, muscle and liver. After the infection of fish extracellular bacterial pathogen Vibrio anguillarum and intracellular bacterial pathogen Edwardsiella tarda, the mRNA transcripts of SsCRT in spleen, liver, and head kidney were significantly up-regulated. The expression patterns were time-dependent and tissue-dependent. Recombinant SsCRT (rSsCRT) exhibited apparent binding activities against different bacteria and PAMPs. In vivo studies showed that the expressions of multiple immune-related genes such as TNF13B, IL-1β, IL-8, SAA, Hsp70, and ISG15 in head kidney were significantly enhanced when black rockfish were treated with rSsCRT. Furthermore, rSsCRT reduced pathogen dissemination and replication in fish kidney and spleen. These results indicated that SsCRT served as an immune receptor to recognize and eliminate the invading pathogens, which played a vital role in the immune response of Sebastes schlegeli. These findings provide new insights into understanding the roles of CRT proteins in immune response and pathogen infection in teleost.

A molluscan calreticulin ortholog from Haliotis discus discus: Molecular characterization and transcriptional evidence for its role in host immunity. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2016; 474:43-50.

Abstract
Calreticulin (CALR), a Ca(2+) binding chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mainly involved in Ca(2+) storage and signaling. In this study, we report the molecular characterization and immune responses of CALR homolog from disk abalone (AbCALR). The full length AbCALR cDNA (1837 bp) had an ORF of 1224 bp. According to the multiple alignments analysis, N- and P-domains were highly conserved in all the selected members of CALRs. In contrast, the C-domain which terminated with the characteristic ER retrieval signal (HDEL) was relatively less conserved. The phylogenetic analysis showed that all the selected molluscan homologs clustered together. Genomic sequence of AbCALR revealed that cDNA sequence was dispersed into ten exons interconnected with nine introns. AbCALR mRNA expression shows the significant (P < 0.05) up-regulation of AbCALR transcripts in hemocytes upon bacterial (Listeria monocytogenes and Vibrio parahaemolyticus), viral (Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus; VHSV) and immune stimulants (LPS and poly I:C) challenges at middle and/or late phases. These results collectively implied that AbCALR is able to be stimulated by pathogenic signals and might play a potential role in host immunity.

Abstract
Calreticulin (CRT) is a highly conserved and abundant multifunctional protein that is encoded by a small gene family and is often associated with abiotic/biotic stress responses in plants. However, the roles played by this protein in salt stress responses in wheat (Triticum aestivum) remain obscure. In this study, three TaCRT genes were identified in wheat and named TaCRT1, TaCRT2 and TaCRT3-1 based on their sequence characteristics and their high homology to other known CRT genes. Quantitative real-time PCR expression data revealed that these three genes exhibit different expression patterns in different tissues and are strongly induced under salt stress in wheat. The calcium-binding properties of the purified recombinant TaCRT1 protein were determined using a PIPES/Arsenazo III analysis. TaCRT1 gene overexpression in Nicotiana tabacum decreased salt stress damage in transgenic tobacco plants. Physiological measurements indicated that transgenic tobacco plants showed higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) than non-transgenic tobacco under normal growth conditions. Interestingly, overexpression of the entire TaCRT1 gene or of partial TaCRT1 segments resulted in significantly higher tolerance to salt stress in transgenic plants compared with their WT counterparts, thus revealing the essential role of the C-domain of TaCRT1 in countering salt stress in plants.

Abstract
Skin mucus is the first barrier of fish defence. Proteins from skin mucus of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were identified by 2DE followed by LC-MS/MS. From all the identified proteins in the proteome map, we focus on the proteins associated with several immune pathways in fish. Furthermore, the real-time PCR transcript levels in skin are shown. Proteins found include apolipoprotein A1, calmodulin, complement C3, fucose-binding lectin, lysozyme and several caspases. To our knowledge, this is the first skin mucus proteome study and further transcriptional profiling of the identified proteins done on this bony fish species. This not only contributes knowledge on the routes involved in mucosal innate immunity, but also establishes a non-invasive technique based on locating immune markers with a potential use for prevention and/or diagnosis of fish diseases.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2013; 35:1163-1175.

Abstract
PDI (PDIA1) and ERp57 (PDIA3), members of the PDI family and of the thioredoxin (Trx) superfamily, are multifunctional proteins with wide physiological roles and have been implicated in several pathologies. Importantly, they are both involved in the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway. This paper reports the isolation and characterization of full cDNA and genomic clones from sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.) PDI (Dila-PDI) and ERp57 (Dila-ERp57). The genes are ~12.4 and ~7.1 kb long, originating 2155 and 2173 bp transcripts and encoding 497 and 484 amino acids mature proteins, for Dila-PDI and -ERp57, respectively. The PDI gene consists of eleven exons and ERp57 of thirteen. As described in other species, both molecules are composed of four Trx-like domains (abb'a') followed by a C-terminal tail, retaining two CGHC active sites and an ER-signalling sequence, suggestive of a conserved function. Additionally, three-dimensional homology models further support Dila-PDI and Dila-ERp57 as orthologs of mammalian PDI and ERp57, respectively. Finally, high similarity is observed to their vertebrate counterparts (>69% identity), especially among the few ones from closely related teleosts (>79% identity). Hence, these results provide relevant primary data and will enable further studies to clarify the roles of PDI and ERp57 in European sea bass immunity.
