Integrated microbiome and metabolome analyses reveal the effects of low pH on intestinal health and homeostasis of crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 270:106903. [PMID: 38503037 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106903] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
Low pH (LpH) poses a significant challenge to the health, immune response, and growth of aquatic animals worldwide. Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is a globally farmed freshwater species with a remarkable adaptability to various environmental stressors. However, the effects of LpH stress on the microbiota and host metabolism in crayfish intestines remain poorly understood. In this study, integrated analyses of antioxidant enzyme activity, histopathological damage, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) were performed to investigate the physiology, histopathology, microbiota, and metabolite changes in crayfish intestines exposed to LpH treatment. The results showed that LpH stress induced obvious changes in superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and histopathological alterations in crayfish intestines. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis revealed that exposure to LpH caused significant alterations in the diversity and composition of the crayfish intestinal microbiota at the phylum and genus levels. At the genus level, 14 genera including Bacilloplasma, Citrobacter, Shewanella, Vibrio, RsaHf231, Erysipelatoclostridium, Anaerorhabdus, Dysgonomonas, Flavobacterium, Tyzzerella, Brachymonas, Muribaculaceae, Propionivibrio, and Comamonas, exhibited significant differences in their relative abundances. The LC-MS analysis revealed 859 differentially expressed metabolites in crayfish intestines in response to LpH, including 363 and 496 upregulated and downregulated metabolites, respectively. These identified metabolites exhibited significant enrichment in 24 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways (p < 0.05), including seven and 17 upregulated and downregulated pathways, respectively. These pathways are mainly associated with energy and amino acid metabolism. Correlation analysis revealed a strong correlation between the metabolites and intestinal microbiota of crayfish during LpH treatment. These findings suggest that LpH may induce significant oxidative stress, intestinal tissue damage, disruption of intestinal microbiota homeostasis, and alterations in the metabolism in crayfish. These findings provide valuable insights into how the microbial and metabolic processes of crayfish intestines respond to LpH stress.

Abstract
Exposure to high temperatures induces changes in fish respiration, resulting in an increased production of reactive oxygen species. This, in turn, affects the enzymatic and non-enzymatic components of antioxidant defenses, which are essential for mitigating cellular stress. Rhamdia voulezi, an economically important fish species endemic to Brazil's Iguaçu River, served as the subject of our study. Our goal was to assess enzymatic antioxidant biomarkers (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), non-protein thiol levels (reduced glutathione), and markers of oxidative damage (lipoperoxidation and carbonylation) in the liver, gills, and kidneys of R. voulezi after acute exposure to high temperatures (31°C) for 2, 6, 12, 24, and 96 h. Control groups were maintained at 21°C. Our findings revealed that the liver exhibited increased superoxide dismutase levels up to 12 h and elevated glutathione S-transferase levels at 12 and 96 h at 31°C. In the gills, superoxide dismutase levels increased up to 24 h, along with increased lipoperoxidation at 2, 6, 12, and 96 h of exposure to high temperatures. The kidneys responded to heat stress at 12 h, with an increase in superoxide dismutase and catalase activity, and lipid peroxidation was observed at 2 and 6 h at 31°C. The three tissues evaluated responded differently to heat stress, with the liver demonstrating greater physiological adjustment to high temperatures. The intricate interplay of various antioxidant defense biomarkers and oxidative damage suggests the presence of oxidative stress in R. voulezi when exposed to high temperatures.

Zhao T, Ma A, Huang Z, Liu Z, Sun Z, Zhu L, Chang H. pparβ regulates lipid catabolism by mediating acox and cpt-1 genes in Scophthalmus maximus under heat stress. FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2024; 50:295-305.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β (pparβ) is a key gene-regulating lipid metabolism pathway, but its function in turbot remains unclear. In this study, the CDS of pparβ was cloned from kidney for the first time. The CDS sequence length was 1533 bp encoding 510 amino acids. Structural analysis showed that the pparβ protein contained a C4 zinc finger and HOLI domain, suggesting that the pparβ gene of turbot has high homology with the PPAR gene of other species. The high expression patterns of pparβ, acox, and cpt-1 at high temperatures, as shown through qPCR, indicated that high temperatures activated the transcriptional activity of pparβ and increased the activity of the acox and cpt-1 genes. The expression of acox and cpt-1 was significantly inhibited when pparβ was downregulated using RNAi technology and inhibitor treatments, suggesting that pparβ positively regulated acox and cpt-1 expression at high temperatures and, thus, modulates lipid catabolism activity. These results demonstrate that pparβ is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism at high temperatures and expand a new perspective for studying the regulation of lipid metabolism in stress environments of teleost.

Abstract
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have increased in frequency, intensity, and duration in recent years causing significant impacts on marine organisms and fisheries. This study explores the physiological changes of juvenile greater amberjacks (Seriola dumerili) that cope with MHWs. Results showed that physiological parameters were significantly affected by the intensity, duration of MHWs or interaction of two factors (P < 0.05). Repeated MHWs in which water temperatures were increased (24 °C to 28 °C and 32 °C) resulted in changes in enzyme activity levels (catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH)), as well as the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) for antioxidant defense, immune function (acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lysozyme (LYZ)), and energy metabolism (including triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU), aspartate aminotransferase (GOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)). The activities of enzymes, including those associated with antioxidant defense, immune function, and energy metabolism, changed significantly in relation to short-term MHWs, indicating a thermal stress response. When S. dumerili were exposed to repeated-MHWs, thermal stress responses increased at 28 °C (T28) and decreased at 32 °C (T32). These results exhibited the inability of S. dumerili to acclimate to severe thermal stress from MHWs. This study examined S. dumerili responses to MHWs and assessed the physiological adaptation of juvenile greater amberjacks to MHWs.

Abstract
Rohu, Labeo rohita, is one of the most important aquaculture species in the Indian subcontinent. Understanding the molecular-level physiological responses to thermal stress or climate change is essential. In the present work, transcriptome sequencing was carried out in the muscle tissue of the rohu in response to heat stress (35 °C) in comparison with the control (28 °C). A total of 125 Gb of sequence data was generated, and the raw-reads were filtered and trimmed, which resulted in 484 million quality reads. Reference-based assembly of reads was performed using L. rohita genome, and a total of 90.17% of reads were successfully mapped. A total of 37,462 contigs were assembled with an N50 value of 1854. The differential expression analysis revealed a total of 107 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (15 up-, 37 down-, and 55 neutrally regulated) as compared to the control group (Log2FC > 2, P < 0.05). Gene enrichment analysis of DEGs indicates that transcripts were associated with molecular, biological, and cellular activities. The randomly selected differentially expressed transcripts were validated by RT-qPCR and found consistent expression patterns in line with the RNA-seq data. Several transcripts such as SERPINE1(HSP47), HSP70, HSP90alpha, Rano class II histocompatibility A beta, PGC-1 and ERR-induced regulator, proto-oncogene c-Fos, myozenin2, alpha-crystallin B chain-like protein, angiopoietin-like protein 8, and acetyl-CoA carboxylases have been identified in muscle tissue of rohu that are associated with stress/immunity. This study identified the key biomarker SERPINE1 (HSP47), which showed significant upregulation (~ 2- to threefold) in muscle tissue of rohu exposed to high temperature. This study can pave a path for the identification of stress-responsive biomarkers linked with thermal adaptations in the farmed carps.

Abstract
Heat is a powerful stressor for fish living in natural and artificial environments. Understanding the effects of heat stress on the physiological processes of fish is essential for better aquaculture and fisheries management. In this experiment, a heating rod was used to increase the temperature at 2°C/h to study the changes of energy allocation (CEA) and energy metabolity-related enzyme activities, including pepsin, trypsin, amylase, lipase, acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, glutamic oxalic aminotransferase and energy reserve (Ea), energy expenditure (ETS), in juvenile yellowfin tuna cells under acute temperature stress. The results showed that the Ea of juvenile yellowfin tuna muscles in response to high temperature (34°C) was significantly lower than that of the control (28°C), and it also increased ETS. At 6 h, CEA decreased slightly in the high-temperature group, but, the difference in CEA between 24 h and 0 h decreased. After heat stress for 6 h, the activities of acid phosphatase (ACP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST) increased, indicating that the metabolic rate was accelerated. After heat stress for 24 h, the activity of ALT decreased, indicating that with time elapsed, the activities of some protein metabolizing enzymes increased, and some decreased. In this study, digestive enzymes, trypsin and lipase increased gradually. After heat stress, Ea and Ec change significantly. Yellowfin tuna muscles use lipids in response to sharp temperature increases at high temperatures, red muscles respond to temperature changes by increasing energy in the early stages, but not nearly as much, and white muscles reduce lipids.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 263:115197.

Abstract
High-temperature stress caused by global climate change poses a significant threat to marine ectotherms. This study investigated the role of protein phosphorylation modifications in the molecular regulation network under heat stress in oysters, which are representative intertidal organisms that experience considerable temperature changes. Firstly, the study compared the extent of thermal damage between two congeneric oyster species, the relative heat-tolerant Crassostrea angulata (C. angulata) and heat-sensitive Crassostrea gigas (C. gigas), under sublethal temperature (37 °C) for 12 h, using various physiological and biochemical methods. Subsequently, the comparative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses revealed that high-temperature considerably regulated signal transduction, energy metabolism, protein synthesis, cell survival and apoptosis, and cytoskeleton remodeling through phosphorylation modifications of related receptors and kinases. Furthermore, the protein kinase A, mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, tyrosine-protein kinase Src, and serine/threonine kinase AKT, exhibiting differential phosphorylation modification patterns, were identified as hub regulators that may enhance glycolysis and TCA cycle to increase the energy supply, distribute protein synthesis, inhibit Caspase-dependent apoptosis activated by endogenous mitochondrial cytochrome release and maintain cytoskeletal stability, ultimately shaping the higher thermal resistance of C. angulata. This study represents the first investigation of protein phosphorylation dynamics in marine invertebrates under heat stress, reveals the molecular mechanisms underlying the differential thermal responses between two Crassostrea oysters at the phosphorylation level, and provides new insights into understanding phosphorylation-mediated molecular responses in marine organisms during environmental changes and predicting the adaptive potential in the context of global warming.

Integrated Metabolome and Transcriptome Analyses Reveal the Efficacy of Steroidal Saponins for Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Hybrid Grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ Epinephelus lanceolatu) Fed Higher-Lipid Diets. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:2894. [PMID: 37760294 PMCID: PMC10525917 DOI: 10.3390/ani13182894] [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: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
An analysis of the extent of the effect of steroidal saponin addition on glucose and lipid metabolism in hybrid grouper liver was performed at the transcriptomic and metabolomic levels. Feeds (52% crude protein, 14% crude lipid) were prepared containing 0% (S0), 0.1% (S0.1), and 0.2% (S0.2) steroidal saponins. After eight weeks of feeding trial, compared to the S0 group, the activities of serum albumin, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate transaminase were significantly lower and the activities of lysozyme, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase were significantly higher in the S0.1 group (p < 0.05). The superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities in the livers of the S0.1 group were significantly higher than those of the S0 group, while the malondialdehyde content was significantly lower than that of the S0 group (p < 0.05). There were forty-two differentially expressed genes and thirty-two differential metabolites associated with glucose and lipid metabolism enriched using KEGG and GO. In the S0 group, the expression of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1, prostaglandin E synthase 1, and thromboxane-2 synthase mRNA was significantly higher than in the S0.1 group (p < 0.05). The expression levels of genes in the S0 group were significantly higher than those in the S0.1 group (p < 0.05), including for glycogen synthase kinase, glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 2, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, glucose transporter 4, and malate dehydrogenase. The expression of mRNA such as fatty acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 was significantly lower in the S0.1 group than in the S0 group, while the expression of carnitine acyltransferase 1, acyl-CoA synthetase, and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase genes was significantly higher in the S0 group (p < 0.05). In summary, glycogen synthesis, gluconeogenesis, and the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway were inhibited by 0.1% steroidal saponins, and glycogenolysis, glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the fatty acid β-oxidation pathway were activated. This study aims to provide a reference for the formulation of grouper feeds with a higher crude-lipid level.

Abstract
In order to provide new insights into the physiological responses of lenok (Brachymystax lenok: Salmonidae) to acute and severe heat stress (25°C, 48 h), dynamic changes in redox state and metabolic responses are studied combined biochemical index and non-targeted metabolome. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) consumption causes significant increases in ratio of reduced NADH to NAD+ and ratio of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to NADP+, which induced the redox imbalance in heat stressed lenok. Lowered reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratios suggested that more oxidized conditions occurred in heat-stressed lenok, leading to membrane lipid oxidation. The first few hours of heat stress promoted the activity of enzymes involved in anaerobic glycolysis (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactic dehydrogenase) and glutamicpyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, which might lead to consumption of many carbohydrates and amino acid catabolism. These enzyme activities decreased with time in a possible compensatory strategy to manage anabolic and catabolic metabolism, maintaining the redox homeostasis. After 48 h of recovery, NAD+, carbohydrate levels and enzyme activities had returned to control levels, whereas many amino acids were consumed for repair and new synthesis. GSH remained at levels lower than controls, and the more oxidized conditions had not recovered, aggravating oxidative damage. Glutamic acid, glutamine, lysine and arginine may play important roles in survival of heat-stressed lenok.

COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2023; 46:101083. [PMID: 37137257 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2023.101083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Cultivation of Larimichthys crocea in low salinity water has been regarded as an effective way to treat diseases induced by pathogens in seawater. The kidney of euryhaline teleost plays important roles in not only osmoregulation but also regulation of intermediary metabolism. However, the renal responses of metabolism and osmoregulation in L. crocea to low salinity waters are still rarely reported. In this work, renal metabolomic analysis based on MS technique was conducted on the L. crocea following cultivation in salinities of 24, 8, 6, 4, and 2 ppt for 40 days. A total of 485 metabolites covering organic acids and derivatives (34.17 %), lipids and lipid-like molecules (17.55 %), organoheterocyclic compounds (12.22 %), nucleosides, nucleotides, and analogues (11.91 %), and organic oxygen compounds (10.97 %), were identified in L. crocea kidney. Compared with control group (salinity 24), nearly all amino acids, nucleotides, and their derivatives were decreased in the kidney of L. crocea, whereas most of lipid-related metabolites including phospholipid, glycerophospholipids, and fatty acids were increased. The decrease in urea and inorganic ions as well as TMAO, betaine and taurine in L. crocea kidney suggested the less demand for maintaining osmotic homeostasis. Several intermediary metabolites covering amino acids, TCA cycle intermediates, and fatty acids were also significantly changed to match with the shift of energy allocation from osmoregulation to other biological processes. The reduced energy demand for osmoregulation might contribute to the promotion of L. crocea growth under low salinity environment. What is more, carbamoylphosphate and urea that showed linear salinity response curves and higher ED50 values were potential biomarkers to adaptation to low salinity water. Overall, the characterization of metabolomes of L. crocea kidney under low salinity provided a better understanding of the adaptive mechanisms to low salinity water and potentially contributed to a reference for optimal culture salinity and feed formula of L. crocea culture in low salinity water.

Abstract
The inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (IκB) kinase (IKK) is involved in a variety of intracellular cell signaling pathways and is an important component of the NF-κB signaling pathway. IKK genes have been suggested to play important roles in the innate immune response to pathogen infection in both vertebrates and invertebrates. However, little information is available about IKK genes in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). In this study, six IKK genes were identified including SmIKKα, SmIKKα2, SmIKKβ, SmIKKε, SmIKKγ, and SmTBK1. The IKK genes of turbot showed the highest identity and similarity with Cynoglossus semilaevis. Then, phylogenetic analysis showed that the IKK genes of turbot were most closely related to C. semilaevis. In addition, IKK genes were widely expressed in all the examined tissues. Meanwhile, the expression patterns of IKK genes were investigated by QRT-PCR after Vibrio anguillarum and Aeromonas salmonicida infection. The results showed that IKK genes had varying expression patterns in mucosal tissues after bacteria infection, indicating that they may play key roles in maintaining the integrity of the mucosal barrier. Subsequently, protein and protein interaction (PPI) network analysis showed that most proteins interacting with IKK genes were located in the NF-κB signaling pathway. Finally, the double luciferase report and overexpression experiments showed that SmIKKα/SmIKKα2/SmIKKβ involved in the activation of NF-κB in turbot. In summary, our results suggested that IKK genes of turbot played important roles in the innate immune response of teleost, and provide valuable information for further study of the function of IKK genes.

Abstract
The temperature has always been a key environmental factor in Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) culture. In this study, the Manila clam was treated to different temperature pre-heat (28 °C, 30 °C) and gained heat tolerance after recover of 12 h, and a survival rate (14.7 %-49.1 %) advantage after high temperature challenge (30 and 32 °C). To further investigate the physiological and metabolism changes in Manila clam that had experienced a heat stress, non-targeted metabolomics (LC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the metabolic responses of gills in three group Manila clams during the heat challenge. Metabolic profiles revealed that high temperature caused changes in fatty acid composition, energy metabolism, antioxidant metabolites, hydroxyl compounds, and amino acids in heat-hardened clams compared to non-hardened clams. We found a number of significantly enriched pathways, including cAMP signaling pathway, serotonergic synapse, and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in heat-hardened Manila clam compared with non-hardened and untreated Manila clam. After a brief high temperature treatment, the physiological maintenance ability of Manila clam was improved. Combined with metabolomics analysis, heat hardening treatment may improve the energy metabolism and antioxidant ability of Manila clam. These results provide new insights into the cellular and metabolic responses of Manila clams following high temperature stress.

Abstract
Temperature fluctuations caused by climate change and global warming pose a great threat to various species. Most fish are particularly vulnerable to elevated temperatures. Understanding the mechanism of high-temperature tolerance in fish can be beneficial for proposing effective strategies to help fish cope with global warming. In this study, we systematically studied the effects of high temperature on Acipenser dabryanus, an ancient living fossil and flagship species of the Yangtze River, at the histological, biochemical, transcriptomic and metabolomic levels. Intestinal and liver tissues from the control groups (18 °C) and acute heat stress groups (30 °C) of A. dabryanus were sampled for histological observation and liver tissues were assessed for transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling. Histopathological analysis showed that the intestine and liver tissues were damaged after heat stress. The plasma cortisol content and the levels of oxidative stress markers (catalase/glutathione reductase) and two aminotransferases (aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase) increased significantly in response to acute heat stress. Transcriptomic and metabolomic methods showed 6707 upregulated and 4189 downregulated genes and 64 upregulated and 78 downregulated metabolites in the heat stress group. Heat shock protein (HSP) genes showed striking changes in expression under heat stress, with 21 genes belonging to the HSP30, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 families significantly upregulated by short-term heat stress. The majority of genes associated with ubiquitin and various immune-related pathways were also markedly upregulated in the heat stress group. In addition, the combined analysis of metabolites and gene profiles suggested an enhancement of amino acid metabolism and glycometabolism and the suppression of fatty acid metabolism during heat stress, which could be a potential energy conservation strategy for A. dabryanus. To the best of our knowledge, the present study represents the first attempt to reveal the mechanisms of heat stress responses in A. dabryanus, which can provide insights into improved cultivation of fish in response to global warming.

Abstract
Extreme fluctuations in water temperature lead to significant economic losses for the aquaculture industry. Cyprinus carpio var qingtianensis (locally called Qingtian paddy field carp), is a local variety commonly found in Zhejiang province, China. Unlike traditional aquaculture environments, the water temperature range between day and night in the rice field environment is much larger, and the high temperature in summer may exceed the growth threshold of fish because there is no manual intervention; therefore, the study of how the Qingtian paddy field carp (PF carp) adapts to high-temperature conditions can shed light how the species adapt to the rice field environment. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of this fish under thermal stress, the liver metabolomics of Qiangtian paddy field carp (PF carp) were analyzed. In this study, metabolomics was used to examine the metabolic reaction of PF carp (102 days old, 104.69 ± 3.08 g in weight, 14.65 ± 0.46 cm in length) at water temperatures of 28 °C (control group, CG), 34 °C (experimental group (EG) 34), and 38 °C (EG38). The results show that 175 expression profile metabolites (DEMs), including 115 upregulated and 60 downregulated metabolites, were found in the CG vs. EG34. A total of 354 DEMs were inspected in CG vs. EG38, with 85 metabolites downregulated and 269 metabolites upregulated. According to the pathway enrichment study, various pathways were altered by thermal stress, including those of lipid, amino-acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Our study presents a potential metabolic profile for PF carp under thermal stress. It also demonstrates how the host responds to thermal stress on a metabolic and molecular level.

Abstract
Water temperature elevation as a consequence of global warming results in increased incidence of bacterial disease, such as edwardsiellosis, in fish farming. Edwardsiellosis is caused by the bacterial pathogen Edwardsiella tarda and affects many farmed fish including flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Currently, the effect of temperature on the metabolic response of flounder to E. tarda infection is unclear. In this study, we found that compared to low temperature (15°C), high temperature (23°C) enhanced E. tarda dissemination in flounder tissues. To examine the impact of temperature on the metabolism of flounder induced by E. tarda, comparative metabolomics were performed, which identified a large number of metabolites responsive to E. tarda invasion and temperature alteration. During E. tarda infection, the metabolic profile induced by elevated temperature was mainly featured by extensively decreased amino acids and TCA intermediates such as succinate, a proven immune regulator. Further, 38 potential metabolite markers of temperature effect (MMTE) in association with bacterial infection were identified. When used as exogenous supplements, two of the MMTE, i.e., L-methionine and UDP-glucose, effectively upregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppressed E. tarda infection in flounder leukocytes. Taken together, the results of this study indicate an important influence of temperature on the metabolism of flounder during bacterial infection, which eventually affects the survivability of the fish.

Abstract
Cortisol is the main stress hormone that plays crucial roles in energy metabolism and immune response in vertebrates. In the present study, the homologues of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (designated Cg11β-HSD1) and 5α-reductase 1 (designated Cg5αR1), the key enzymes related to cortisol metabolism, were identified from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. The Cg11β-HSD1 harbored a conserved SDR domain, and Cg5αR1 contained a Steroid_dh domain and three transmembrane domains. The mRNA transcripts of Cg11β-HSD1 and Cg5αR1 were constitutively expressed in all the examined tissues of oysters, with the highest expression level in haemocytes and labial palp, respectively. After acute high temperature stress (28 °C), the mRNA expression level of Cg11β-HSD1 in hepatopancreas significantly up-regulated at 6 h and 12 h, and that of Cg5αR1 significantly up-regulated at 6 h, compared with the Blank group (11 °C). The concentration of cortisol and glucose, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in hepatopancreas all significantly up-regulated after acute high temperature stress, while the glycogen concentration in adductor muscle decreased significantly at 6 h and 12 h. After the blockage of Cg11β-HSD1 with metyrapone, the cortisol concentration and the activities of SOD and CAT significantly decreased after acute high temperature stress, the glucose concentration in hepatopancreas significantly increased at 24 h, and the glycogen concentration in adductor muscle significantly increased at 6 h. These results collectively suggested that cortisol played a crucial role in regulating glucose metabolism and oxidative response in oysters upon acute high temperature stress.

High-Temperature Stress Effect on the Red Cusk-Eel (Geypterus chilensis) Liver: Transcriptional Modulation and Oxidative Stress Damage. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11070990. [PMID: 36101373 PMCID: PMC9312335 DOI: 10.3390/biology11070990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary The red cusk-eel (Genypterus chilensis) is a native Chilean species important for aquaculture diversification in Chile. The effect of high-temperature stress on the liver, a key organ for fish metabolism, is unknown. In this study we determined for the first time the effects of high-temperature stress on the liver of red cusk-eel. The results showed that high-temperature stress increased hepatic enzyme activity in the plasma of stressed fish. Additionally, this stressor generated oxidative damage in liver, and generated a transcriptional response with 1239 down-regulated and 1339 up-regulated transcripts associated with several processes, including unfolded protein response, heat shock response and oxidative stress, among others. Together, these results indicate that high-temperature stress generates a relevant impact on liver, with should be considered for the aquaculture and fisheries industry of this species under a climate change scenario. Abstract Environmental stressors, such as temperature, are relevant factors that could generate a negative effect on several tissues in fish. A key fish species for Chilean aquaculture diversification is the red cusk-eel (Genypterus chilensis), a native fish for which knowledge on environmental stressors effects is limited. This study evaluated the effects of high-temperature stress on the liver of red cusk-eel in control (14 °C) and high-temperature (19 °C) groups using multiple approaches: determination of plasmatic hepatic enzymes (ALT, AST, and AP), oxidative damage evaluation (AP sites, lipid peroxidation, and carbonylated proteins), and RNA-seq analysis. High-temperature stress generated a significant increase in hepatic enzyme activity in plasma. In the liver, a transcriptional regulation was observed, with 1239 down-regulated and 1339 up-regulated transcripts. Additionally, high-temperature stress generated oxidative stress in the liver, with oxidative damage and transcriptional modulation of the antioxidant response. Furthermore, an unfolded protein response was observed, with several pathways enriched, as well as a heat shock response, with several heat shock proteins up regulated, suggesting candidate biomarkers (i.e., serpinh1) for thermal stress evaluation in this species. The present study shows that high-temperature stress generated a major effect on the liver of red cusk-eel, knowledge to consider for the aquaculture and fisheries of this species.

Abstract
Predictions about global warming have raised interest in assessing whether ectothermic organisms will be able to adapt to these changes. Understanding the physiological mechanisms and metabolic adjustment capacity of fish subjected to heat stress can provide subsidies that may contribute to decision-making in relation to ecosystems and organisms subjected to global climate change. This study investigated the antioxidant defence system and energy metabolism of carbohydrate and protein responses in the gill, liver and kidney tissues of Psalidodon bifasciatus (Garavello & Sampaio 2010), a Brazilian freshwater fish used in aquaculture and in biological studies, following exposure to heat shock at 31°C for 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. The fish presented signs of stress in all tissues tested, as evidenced by increased lipid peroxidation concentration at 2 h and phosphofructokinase, hexokinase and malate dehydrogenase activity at 48 h in the gills; increased glutathione-S-transferase activity at 12 h, citrate synthase activity at 24 h and concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration at 12 and 48 h in the liver; and through increased activity of superoxide dismutase at 48 h, glutathione reductase at 24 h, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase at 48 h and concentration of GSH at 24 h in the kidney. In the kidneys, changes in the antioxidant system were more prominent, whereas in the gills, there were greater changes in the carbohydrate metabolism. These results indicated the importance of glycolysis and aerobic metabolism in the gills, aerobic metabolism in the liver and pentose-phosphate pathway in the kidneys during homeostasis. The biomarker response was tissue specific, with the greatest number of biomarkers altered in the gills, followed by those in the kidneys and liver.

Transcriptome analysis reveals that high temperatures alter modes of lipid metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) liver. COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY D-GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2021; 40:100887. [PMID: 34428713 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2021.100887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
With the increase in farming density and the continuously high summer temperatures against the background of global warming, high temperature stress has become a major challenge in fish farming. In this study, we simulated the high temperature environments (20 °C, 24 °C, and 28 °C) that may occur during turbot culture. High-throughput sequencing was used to investigate the lipid metabolism response patterns in juvenile turbot liver under high temperature stress. A total of 2067 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. KEGG analysis revealed that the DEGs were mainly associated with glycerophospholipid metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, glycerolipid metabolism, fatty acid metabolic pathways, and the PPAR signaling pathway. A regulatory network was constructed to further elucidate the transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism. We speculated that high temperature activates PPAR signaling pathway through interaction with ligands such as fatty acids. On the one hand, the HMGCS1 gene in this pathway can inhibit sterol synthesis by down-regulating the expression of key genes in steroid biosynthesis pathway (SQLE, EBP, and DHCR24). On the other hand, the expression of ACSL1 in this pathway is significantly increased under high temperature, which may play an important role in regulating fatty acid metabolism. Moreover, we collected blood and detected changes in serum lipid parameters; the variation patterns were also consistent with our results. These findings reveal that lipid metabolism has an important regulatory role in stress resistance when turbot is exposed to high temperatures.

Abstract
To gain insights into the influence of heat stress on lipid metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), we analyzed the correlations between data obtained by transcriptome sequencing and metabolome sequencing of the kidney under different high temperature stimuli (20 °C, 25 °C and 28 °C) and control conditions (14 °C). We identified the differentially expressed genes and metabolites, which were found to be enriched in seven pathways (steroid hormone biosynthesis, primary bile acid biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids) associated with lipid metabolism, according to KEGG pathway analysis. After correlation analysis of these differentially expressed genes, the most representative genes (lpcat2, Etnk1, TAZ, SCP2, ch25hl and gpd1l) and metabolites (citicoline, UPD-6-sulfoquinovose, dihydroxyacetone, taurine and o-phosphocholine) were selected according to their correlation coefficients. These genes and metabolites were found to be the key points to regulate lipid deposition and maintain lipid homeostasis through varying degrees of up-regulation or down-regulation under heat stress, so as to relieve the disorder of lipid metabolism caused by heat stress, which is of great significance for breeding new heat-resistant varieties of turbot and provides a reliable theoretical basis for optimizing actual production. These results provide new clues for understanding the roles of lipid metabolism in fish under heat stress.
