[PMID: 37634564 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Aquatic invertebrates are the organisms most susceptible to ammonia toxicity. However, the toxic effects of ammonia on invertebrates are still poorly understood. This study reviews the research progress in ammonia toxicology for the period from 1986 to 2023, focusing on the effects on invertebrates. Through examining the toxic effects of ammonia at different levels of organization (community, individual, tissue and physiology, and molecular) as well as the results from omics studies, we determined that the most significant effects were on the reproductive capacity of invertebrates and the growth of offspring, although different populations show variation in their tolerance to ammonia, and tissues have varied potential to respond to ammonia stress. A multicomponent analysis is an in-depth technique employed in toxicological studies, as it can be used to explore the enrichment pathways and functional genes expressed under ammonia stress. This study comprehensively discusses ammonia toxicity from multiple aspects in order to provide new insights into the toxic effects of ammonia on aquatic invertebrates.

Abstract
This review aims to provide an update on the current scientific understanding of various aspects of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) formation, diagnostic procedures, transmission, ecological effects, pathophysiology and management strategies. In terms of production and financial benefits, the WSSV has been the most virulent in shrimp and several other crustacean sectors around the globe. It spreads vertically from diseased broodstock to post-larvae and horizontally by cannibalism, invertebrate vectors, freshwater and sediments. In the transfer of white spot disease (WSD) in newly stocked ponds, the survivability of WSSV in sediment is the most important variable. In typical cultural conditions, it is a highly infectious pathogen capable of inflicting total death within 3-10 days after an outbreak. Some of the current biosecurity strategies used to keep diseases out of shrimp ponds such as pond water disinfection, quarantine of new stocks before stocking and broader usage of specific pathogen-free shrimp. The sequencing and characterisation of various WSSV strains have provided details about pathogen biology, pathogenicity and disease. To develop successful control methods, knowledge of these characteristics is essential. In several shrimp-producing countries in Asia and the Americas, the infections produced by the WSSV have had disastrous socio-economic consequences. As a result of international trade or migration of diseased species, the World Animal Health Organization recognised several illnesses as posing a substantial hazard to farmed shrimp. WSD is receiving much scientific research due to the potential economic effects of the virus. Research is now being done to understand better the molecular biology and pathophysiology of WSSV, as well as how to treat and prevent the virus. However, further study should be conducted in countries with more resilient host species to understand their role in mitigating disease impacts since these revelations may aid in developing a WSD treatment.

A new potential risk: The impacts of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection on the histopathology, transcriptome and metagenome of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 131:918-928. [PMID: 36356857 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common conditional pathogen found in natural soil water sources and vegetation and can infect invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants. In this study, we isolated K. pneumoniae from the hepatopancreas of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) for the first time and then we analysed its effects of on the histopathological changes, the transcriptome of the hepatopancreas, and the gut microbiota of this crab species. The findings of this study showed that K. pneumoniae infection has led to significant structural changes in the hepatopancreas, such as the production of vacuolated tissue structures, disorganized cell arrangement, and lysis of some hepatopancreatic cells. Also, the infection caused activation of the antioxidant-related enzymes such as SOD and CAT by inducing oxidative stress. The transcriptome of the hepatopancreas identified 10,940 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the susceptible (SG) groups and control (CG) groups, and 8495 DEGs in the SG groups and anti-infective (AI) groups. The KEGG pathway revealed upregulated DEGs caused by K. pneumoniae infection that involved in the immune response and apoptotic functional pathways, and also downregulated DEGs involved in the digestive absorption, metabolic, and biosynthetic signaling pathways. Meanwhile, metagenics sequencing revealed that at the phylum, class, order, family, and genus levels, K. pneumoniae infection altered the composition of the gut microbiota of E. sinensis, through increasing the abundance of Prolixibacteraceae, Enterobacterales, and Roseimarinus and decreasing the abundance of Alphaproteobacteria. The flora structure has also been changed between the SG and AI groups, with the abundance of Firmicutes, Erysipelotrichales, and Erysipelotrichaceae that were significantly decreased in the SG groups than in the AI groups. But, the abundance of Acinetobacter was considerably higher than in the AI group. In summary, K. pneumoniae infection induced oxidative stress in E. sinensis, triggered changes in immune-related gene expression, and caused structural changes in the gut microbiota. This study provides data to support the analysis of bacterial infection probes in several crustacean species.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to both normal and pathological tissue remodeling. They act as regulatory molecules by working in enzyme cascades as well as processing matrix proteins, cytokines, growth factors and adhesion molecules to generate fragments with biological effects. So MMPs could play distrinct roles in the process of pathogen infection. In present study, we cloned a MMP-2 (LvMMP-2) gene from Litopenaeus vannamei. LvMMP-2, highly expressed in epidermis, located to endoplasmic reticulum in S2 cells. Results of real-time RT-PCR assay showed that LvMMP-2 was induced in shrimp hemocytes upon unfolded protein response or oxidative stress, but not via heat shock treatment. It is proved that the promoter activity of LvMMP-2 was enhanced by NF-E2-related factor 2 and AP-1 factor c-Jun. Further research showed that down-regulated LvMMP-2 contributing to oxidative stress injury, could reduce the cumulative mortality of shrimps under oxidative stress. Besides, our study also indicated that LvMMP-2 was accelerated by lipopolysaccharides injection. LvMMP-2 in S2 could increase the promoter activity of several antimicrobial peptide genes, and knocked-down expression of LvMMP-2 depressed the expression of penaeidin2 and β-Defensin. Moreover, we showed that down-regulated LvMMP-2 suppressed the cumulative mortality of shrimp infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) or with Vibrio alginolyticus. Collecting results suggested that LvMMP-2 involves in shrimp innate immune response, and also contributes to tissue injury caused by WSSV infection.

Abstract
The shrimp aquaculture industry is plagued by disease. Due to the lack of deep understanding of the relationship between innate immune mechanism and environmental adaptation mechanism, it is difficult to prevent and control the diseases of shrimp. The shrimp innate immune system has received much recent attention, and the functions of the humoral immune response and the cellular immune response have been preliminarily characterized. The role of environmental stress in shrimp disease has also been investigated recently, attempting to clarify the interactions among the innate immune response, the environmental stress response, and disease. Both the innate immune response and the environmental stress response have a complex relationship with shrimp diseases. Although these systems are important safeguards, allowing shrimp to adapt to adverse environments and resist infection, some pathogens, such as white spot syndrome virus, hijack these host systems. As shrimp lack an adaptive immune system, immunization therapy cannot be used to prevent and control shrimp disease. However, shrimp diseases can be controlled using ecological techniques. These techniques, which are based on the innate immune response and the environmental stress response, significantly reduce the impact of shrimp diseases. The object of this review is to summarize the recent research on shrimp environmental adaptation mechanisms, innate immune response mechanisms, and the relationship between these systems. We also suggest some directions for future research.
