PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2024; 50:101229. [PMID: 38531153 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2024.101229] [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: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Environmental stresses play critical roles in the physiology of crustaceans. Food deprivation is an important environmental factor and a regular occurrence in both natural aquatic habitats and artificial ponds. However, the underlying physiological response mechanisms to starvation-caused stress in crustaceans are yet to be established. In the present study, the hepatopancreas tissue of Macrobrachium nipponense was transcriptome analyzed and examined for starvation effects on oxidative stress, DNA damage, autophagy, and apoptosis across four fasting stages (0 (control group), 7, 14, and 21 days). These results indicated that a ROS-mediated regulatory mechanism is critical to the entire fasting process. At the initial stage of starvation (fasting 0 d ~ 7 d), ROS concentration increased gradually, activating antioxidant enzymes to protect the cellular machinery from the detrimental effects of oxidative stress triggered by starvation-induced stress. ROS content production (hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion) then rose continuously with prolonged starvation (fasting 7 d ~ 14 d), reaching peak levels and resulting in autophagy in hepatopancreas cells. During the final stages of starvation (fasting 14 d ~ 21 d), excessive ROS induced DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Furthermore, autophagolysosomes and apoptosis body were further identified with transmission electron microscopy. These findings lay a foundation for further scrutiny of the molecular mechanisms combating starvation-generated stress in M. nipponense and provide fishermen with the theoretical guidance for adopting fasting strategies in M. nipponense aquaculture.

[PMID: 38792700 PMCID: PMC11124158 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12050871] [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: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The blotched snakehead Channa maculata is an important economical freshwater species in East Asia. However, there has been relatively little research conducted on the correlation between gender and gut microbes. In this study, 36 of 1000 blotched snakeheads were randomly selected for growth performance measurement and gut microbiota high-throughput sequencing. Results showed that microbial diversity, composition, and metabolic functions were altered by gender and growth performance except the microbial network. In our study, Proteobacteria were the most abundant phylum, with Fusobacteria showing enrichment in males and Bacteroidetes in females. Notably, phylum Deinococcus-Thermus was identified as a significant biomarker. The Cetobacterium was the most abundant genus-level taxon. Furthermore, gut microbes specializing in the production of gut-healthy substances, such as coenzymes and vitamins, were identified as biomarkers in the fast-growing group. Our investigation highlighted the impact of gender on the composition and abundance of gut microbial biomarkers in both males and females, thereby influencing differential growth performance through the modulation of specific metabolic functions.

Abstract
Temperature is critical in regulating virtually all biological functions in fish. Low temperature stress (cold shock/stress) is an often-overlooked challenge that many fish face as a result of both natural events and anthropogenic activities. In this study, we present an updated review of the cold shock literature based on a comprehensive literature search, following an initial review on the subject by M.R. Donaldson and colleagues, published in a 2008 volume of this journal. We focus on how knowledge on cold shock and fish has evolved over the past decade, describing advances in the understanding of the generalized stress response in fish under cold stress, what metrics may be used to quantify cold stress and what knowledge gaps remain to be addressed in future research. We also describe the relevance of cold shock as it pertains to environmental managers, policymakers and industry professionals, including practical applications of cold shock. Although substantial progress has been made in addressing some of the knowledge gaps identified a decade ago, other topics (e.g., population-level effects and interactions between primary, secondary and tertiary stress responses) have received little or no attention despite their significance to fish biology and thermal stress. Approaches using combinations of primary, secondary and tertiary stress responses are crucial as a research priority to better understand the mechanisms underlying cold shock responses, from short-term physiological changes to individual- and population-level effects, thereby providing researchers with better means of quantifying cold shock in laboratory and field settings.

Abstract
The great northern snakehead (Channa argus) is one of the most important economic and conservational fish in China. In this study, the melanocytes in the skin of two distinct color morphs C. argus were investigated and compared through employment of the microscopic analysis, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson Fontana staining. Our results demonstrated the uneven distribution of melanocytes with extremely low density and most of them were in the state of aging or death. Meanwhile, there was no obvious pigment layer and melanocytes distribution pattern found in the albino-type (AT), while the melanocytes were evenly distributed with abundance in the bicolor-type (BT). The transcriptome analysis through Illumina HiSeq sequencing showed that a total of 34.93 Gb Clean Data was obtained, and Q30 base percentage reached 92.66%. The BT and AT northern snakeheads transcriptome data included a total of 56,039,701 and 60,410,063 clean reads (n = 3), respectively. In gene expression analyses, the sample correlation coefficients (r) were ranged between 0.92 and 1.00; the contribution of PC1 and PC2 were 50.25 and 13.73% by using PCA cluster analysis, the total number of DEGs were 1024 (559 up-regulated and 465 down-regulated), and the number of annotated DEGs was 767 (COG 172, KEGG 262, GO 288, SwissProt 548, Pfam 579 and NR 765). Additionally, 46,363 ± 873 and 44,947 ± 392 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were compiled via genetic structure analysis, respectively. Ten key pigment-related genes were screened using qRT-PCR. And all of them revealed extremely higher expression levels in the skin of BT than those of AT. This is the first study to analyze the mechanism of albino characteristics of Channa via histology and transcriptomics, and also provide the oretical and practical support for the protection and development of germplasm resources for C. argus.

Abstract
The wild albino northern snakehead, Channa argus, has only been found in Jialing Rivers System of China so far. It is easy to be affected by the environmental factors such as temperature changes and bacterial infection, thus causing a huge economic loss. Therefore, this study cloned a 2,213 bp cDNA that encodes a protein of heat shock protein 70 (CaHSP70), which has an open reading frame (ORF) that encodes 639 amino acids and the corresponding polypeptides of 70.50 kDa. And the oretical isoelectric point (pI) of CaHSP70 is 5.79. Additionally, we also cloned a cDNA for heat shock cognate protein 70 (CaHSC70) with a total length of 2,300 bp. And the ORF of CaHSC70 encodes 648 amino acids and 71.18 kDa peptides. The pI of CaHSC70 is 5.22. Moreover, the cDNA length of stress-70 protein mitochondrial (CaHSPA9) is 2,944 bp with an ORF that encodes 679 amino acids, polypeptides of 73.74 kDa, and a pI of 6.68. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that the mRNA expression levels of CaHSP70, CaHSC70, and CaHSPA9 genes were tissue-specific in the control groups. After the heat shock at 37 °C, the mRNA expression levels of CaHSP70 were extremely significantly upregulated in the kidney, liver, spleen, and brain tissues, while fewer mRNA expression levels of CaHSC70 and CaHSPA9 showed a relatively induction in these tissues. In contrast, after the cold shock at 8.5 °C, fewer mRNA expression levels of CaHSP70, CaHSC70, and CaHSPA9 showed the changes of expression in all the tissues, compared to heat shock. In addition, CaHSP70, CaHSC70, and CaHSPA9 mRNA expression levels showed an overall trend of first upregulating and then falling after Edwardsiella tarda (strain No. DL1,476) challenge. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that temperature had a great effect on the mRNA expression levels of CaHSP70, CaHSC70, and CaHSPA9, and the mRNA expression levels of these three genes were also sensitive to pathogen infection, especially CaHSP70 in the albino C. argus.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a ferrous lysosomal protein with many immune functions that belongs to the heme peroxidase enzyme. In this study, the functions of MPO in the northern snakehead (Channa argus) were investigated by cloning an MPO cDNA sequence with a full length of 3181 bp. Homology analysis showed that northern snakehead MPO gene had the highest (81%) homology with mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi). In healthy northern snakehead, the MPO gene was expressed in the head-kidney, kidney, heart, gill, spleen, liver, and muscles but not midgut. After the northern snakehead was infected with Aeromonas veronii, the MPO gene expression varied in different tissues with low level in spleen, liver, gill and muscle, fluctuated in kidney and head-kidney and showed high level in heart. The result indicated that MPO might play an important role in the antimicrobial immune response of the northern snakehead.

Abstract
The great albino northern snakehead, Channa argus, is one of the most important economical fish in China. In the present study, cDNA encoding heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) was cloned and characterized. The cDNA was 2462 bp, containing an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 575-amino-acids polypeptide of 61.10 kDa (theoretical isoelectric point [pI]: 5.66). BLAST analysis showed that AcaHSP60 was highly similar with other HSP60s, and three conserved amino acid blocks and characteristic motifs or domains defined as HSP60 protein family signatures. Genomic DNA analysis showed that AcaHSP60 had ten exons in the coding region (from 94 to 336 bp). Changes in AcaHSP60 gene expression profiles in albino C. argus experimentally exposed to different temperature stress (8.5, 26, and 37 °C) was investigated. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot analysis revealed that tissue-specific AcaHSP60 expressions were in the spleen, muscle, liver, kidney, heart and brain. Expression was highly significantly stimulated after heat shock (37 °C), but showed no significant differences after cold treatment (8.5 °C) except in the brain. In summary, these results showed that AcaHSP60 was significantly tissue specific and indicate that AcaHSP60 expression might be sensitive to thermal resistance in albino C. argus.
