Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2024; 288:111555. [PMID: 38007175 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2023.111555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
The physiological response to feeding is important for production aspects that include feed utilization and growth, and the responses require the action of numerous secretory factors. However, as an important aquaculture animal, the secretory response of Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) after feeding has not been comprehensively characterized. In this study, transcriptome analysis showed that 3172 differentially expressed genes were involved in the post-feeding response, including 289 new genes not annotated in the L. vannamei reference genome. Subsequently, 715 differentially expressed secretory reference genes and 18 new differentially expressed secretory genes were obtained through the identification of signal peptides in secreted proteins. Functional classification revealed that differentially expressed secretory genes were enriched in pathways pertaining to lipid metabolism (20 genes), carbohydrate metabolism (21 genes), glycan biosynthesis and metabolism (27 genes), digestive system (40 genes), and transport and metabolism (43 genes). The 14 pathways most enriched by differentially expressed secretory genes involved 83 genes, 71 of which encoded enzymes involved in food digestion and metabolism. Specific enzymes such as lipase 3-like and NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1-like in lipid metabolism, alpha-amylase-like and glucosylceramidase-like in carbohydrate metabolism, and cysteine proteinase 4-like and trypsin-1-like in the digestive system were found to be differentially expressed. Furthermore, we discovered a new gene, MSTRG.2504, that participates in the digestive system and carbohydrate metabolism. The study provides valuable insights into the secretory response (especially metabolism-related enzymes) to feeding in L. vannamei, uncovering the significant roles of both known and new genes. Furthermore, this study will improve our understanding of the feeding physiology of L. vannamei and provide a reference basis for further feeding endocrine research in the future.

Qin Z, Ge Q, Wang J, Li M, Zhang X, Li J, Li J. Metabolomic responses based on transcriptome of the hepatopancreas in Exopalaemon carinicauda under carbonate alkalinity stress. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 268:115723. [PMID: 37992642 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115723] [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: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
High carbonate alkalinity is one of the major stress factors for survival of aquatic animals in saline-alkaline water. Exopalaemon carinicauda is a good model for studying the saline-alkaline adaption mechanism in crustacean because of its great adaptive capacity to alkalinity stress. In this study, non-targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics analyses based on high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) were used to study the metabolomic responses of hepatopancreas in E. carinicauda at 12 h and 36 h after acute carbonate alkalinity stress. The results revealed that most of the significantly differential metabolites were related to the lipid metabolism. In particular, the sphingolipid metabolism was observed at 12 h, the glycerophospholipid metabolism was detected at 36 h, and the linoleic acid metabolic pathway was significantly enriched at both 12 h and 36 h. The combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis showed that energy consumption increased at 12 h, resulting in significant enrichment of AMPK signaling pathways, which contributed to maintain energy homeostasis. Subsequently, the hepatopancreas provided sufficient energy supply through cAMP signaling pathway and glycerophosphate metabolism to maintain normal metabolic function at 36 h. These findings might help to understand the molecular mechanisms of the E. carinicauda under carbonate alkalinity stress, thereby promote the research and development of saline-alkaline resistant shrimp.

The influence of dietary Coenzyme Q10 on growth performance, antioxidant capacity and resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila of juvenile European eel (Anguilla anguilla). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 138:108834. [PMID: 37207885 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on the growth performance, body composition, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, intestinal histology, immune-antioxidant gene expression and disease resistance of juvenile European eel (Anguilla anguilla). Fish were fed a diet supplemented with CoQ10 at concentrations of 0, 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg for 56 days. The results indicated that dietary CoQ10 supplementation did not significantly affect final body weight (FBW), survival rate (SR), weight gain (WG), feed rate (FR), viscerosomatic index (VSI) or hepatosomatic index (HSI) among all experimental groups. However, the highest FBW, WG and SR were found in the 120 mg/kg CoQ10 group. Dietary 120 mg/kg CoQ10 markedly improved feed efficiency (FE) and the protein efficiency ratio (PER). The crude lipids in the body and triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in serum were obviously lower in the 120 mg/kg CoQ10 group than in the control group. For digestive enzymes, protease activity in the intestine was markedly boosted in the 120 mg/kg CoQ10 group. The serum activities of SOD, CAT and GST in the 120 mg/kg CoQ10 group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Dietary 120 mg/kg CoQ10 efficiently enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities in the liver, while the malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly decreased. No significant histological changes in the liver were identified in any group. Dietary supplementation with 120 mg/kg CoQ10 improved antioxidant capacity and immunity by upregulating the expression of cyp1a, sod, gst, lysC, igma1, igmb1 and irf3 in the liver. Furthermore, the cumulative survival rate of juvenile European eel against challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila was significantly elevated in the 80 and 120 mg/kg CoQ10 supplemented groups. Conclusively, our study suggested that supplementing the diet of juvenile European eel with CoQ10 at a concentration of 120 mg/kg could promote their feed utilization, fat reduction, antioxidant capacity, digestibility, immune-antioxidant gene expression and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila without negative effects on fish health status.

Impacts of ammonia stress on different Pacific whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei families and the underlying adaptive mechanisms. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 259:106549. [PMID: 37150124 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Ammonia stress in aquaculture systems poses a great threat to the growth and survival of the Pacific whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Although the ammonia stress tolerance capacity of L. vannamei has been found to vary significantly among different breeding families, the underneath mechanisms are still largely unknown. In this study, the ammonia tolerance capacity of different L. vannamei breeding families was compared. Results confirmed the significant differences in the ammonia adaptability among different families. To ascertain the underlying adaptive strategies, ATP status, ATP synthase activity, expression and activities of ammonia excretion and metabolism-related enzymes, and apoptosis in shrimp gills were analyzed. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses were also performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms. Our results indicated that ammonia-tolerant L. vannamei may possess (1) enhanced ability to excrete ammonia, (2) better capacity to convert ammonia into less toxic products, and (3) sufficient energy reserves for ammonia-compensating processes.
