Barajas-Sandoval DR, Escobedo-Fregoso C, Quiroz-Guzmán E, Tovar-Ramírez D, Py CA, Peña-Rodríguez A. Effect of temporal thermal stress on Penaeus vannamei: Growth performance and physiological plasticity. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2024; 295:111653. [PMID: 38714264 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2024.111653] [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: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
The present study evaluated the effect of temporal periods of hypothermia and hyperthermia, followed by an optimal temperature recovery phase on the growth, survival, and physiological response of Penaeus vannamei. Post-larvae were exposed to stress periods for 7 and 14 days at 22 °C and 32 °C each, followed by a recovery phase at 28 °C to complete seven experimental weeks, and were compared with a control group maintained at 28 °C. Weight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and survival were weekly determined. Muscle, hepatopancreas, and hemolymph were sampled on the 14th day of the recovery phase for biochemical composition, and antioxidant and digestive enzyme activities determination. The shrimp presented a higher growth rate during short-term hyperthermia in contrast to shrimp under hypothermia that presented compensatory growth after thermal stress when the temperature was restored at 28 °C. Hyperthermia increased 12-13% the feed intake while this was diminished 21-29% by the hypothermia periods. Shrimp undergo metabolic adjustments following thermal stress, with short hypothermia increasing the lipase activity and lipid storage in the hepatopancreas, while short hyperthermia also enhances chymotrypsin activity and leads to higher protein and lipid accumulation. Conversely, prolonged hyperthermia induces greater energy consumption, depleting lipid and glycogen stores, while hypothermia causes scarce mobilization of energy reserves during recovery phase. Antioxidant enzyme activities were not affected by short-thermal stress (7d), while prolonged thermal stress (14d) significantly affected SOD, CAT, and GPx activities. The present study provides important insights into the physiological plasticity of P. vannamei during recovery from thermal stress.

Comprehensive analysis of butyric acid impact on immunology, histopathology, gene expression, and metabolomic responses in pacific shrimp experiencing cold stress. COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2024; 52:101293.

Abstract
In this study, our objective was to investigate the impact of dietary butyric acid (BA) on the homeostasis mechanism of Pacific shrimp under cold stress. Specifically, we analyzed its effects on immunity, antioxidant capacity, gene expression, and metabolomics response. To carry out this research, Litopenaeus vannamei were fed a diet supplemented with BA for 8 weeks. Following this feeding period, a total of 180 shrimp, with an average weight of 12.76 ± 0.38 g, were exposed to cold conditions, with the temperature decreasing from 28 °C to 14 °C within an hour. The results of our study revealed survival rates ranging from 90 % to 100 %. Shrimp that were fed a diet containing 1.5 % BA exhibited a significant increase in acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity. Conversely, the control groups showed an increase in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) activity. Shrimp that consumed diets containing 1.5 % BA displayed the lowest malondialdehyde (MDA) levels with the highest superoxide dismutase (SOD) content. The shrimp fed the BA diet exhibited tightly organized hepatic tubules with a star-shaped lumen filled with numerous B and R cells. Furthermore, shrimp fed the BA diet demonstrated a significant increase in caspase 3 (CASP) expression. There were no significant variations in the expression levels of prophenoloxidase (ProPO), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) The metabolites of Dl-carnitine, acetyl-l-carnitine, propionylcarnitine, hexanoylcarnitine, palmitoylcarnitine, decanoylcarnitine, and Dl-carnitine exhibited significantly increased expression in shrimp that were fed BA, suggesting their role in the lipolysis process. Based on the findings, adding 2 % BA to the diet of Pacific shrimp helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress when they are under cold stress.

Protective effects of butyric acid during heat stress on the survival, immune response, histopathology, and gene expression in the hepatopancreas of juvenile pacific shrimp (L. Vannamei). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 150:109610.

Abstract
This study looked at the effects of adding butyric acid (BA) to the diets of juvenile Pacific shrimp and how it affected their response to survival, immunity, histopathological, and gene expression profiles under heat stress. The shrimp were divided into groups: a control group with no BA supplementation and groups with BA inclusion levels of 0.5 %, 1 %, 1.5 %, 2 %, and 2.5 %. Following the 8-week feeding trial period, the shrimp endured a heat stress test lasting 1 h at a temperature of 38 °C. The results showed that the control group had a lower survival rate than those given BA. Interestingly, no mortality was observed in the group receiving 1.5 % BA supplementation. Heat stress had a negative impact on the activities of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in the control group. Still, these activities were increased in shrimp fed the BA diet. Similar variations were observed in AST and ALT fluctuations among the different groups. The levels of triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol (CHO) increased with high temperatures but were reduced in shrimp-supplemented BA. The activity of an antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased with higher BA levels (P < 0.05). Moreover, the groups supplemented with 1.5 % BA exhibited a significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) content (P < 0.05), suggesting the potential antioxidant properties of BA. The histology of the shrimp's hepatopancreas showed improvements in the groups given BA. Conversely, the BA significantly down-regulated the HSPs and up-regulated MnSOD transcript level in response to heat stress. The measured parameters determine the essential dietary requirement of BA for shrimp. Based on the results, the optimal level of BA for survival, antioxidant function, and immunity for shrimp under heat stress is 1.5 %.

Abstract
Due to the ongoing global warming, the risk of heatwaves in the oceans is continuously increasing while our understanding of the physiological response of Litopenaeus vannamei under extreme temperature conditions remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the physiological responses of L. vannamei under heat stress. Our results indicated that as temperature rose, the structure of intestinal and hepatopancreatic tissues was damaged sequentially. Activity of immune-related enzymes (acid phosphatase/alkaline phosphatase) initially increased before decreased, while antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione-S transferase) activity and malondialdehyde content increased with rising temperature. In addition, the total antioxidant capacity decreased with rising temperature. With the rising temperature, there was a significant increase in the expression of caspase-3, heat shock protein 70, lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-α, transcriptional enhanced associate domain and yorkie in intestinal and hepatopancreatic tissues. Following heat stress, the number of potentially beneficial bacteria (Rhodobacteraceae and Gemmonbacter) increased which maintain balance and promote vitamin synthesis. Intestinal transcriptome analysis revealed 852 differentially expressed genes in the heat stress group compared with the control group. KEGG functional annotation results showed that the endocrine system was the most abundant in Organismal systems followed by the immune system. These results indicated that heat stress leads to tissue damage in shrimp, however the shrimp may respond to stress through a coordinated interaction strategy of the endocrine system, immune system and gut microbiota. This study revealed the response mechanism of L. vannamei to acute heat stress and potentially provided a theoretical foundation for future research on shrimp environmental adaptations.

Evaluation of the osmoregulatory capacity and three stress biomarkers in white shrimp Penaeus vannamei exposed to different temperature and salinity conditions: Na +/K + ATPase, Heat Shock Proteins (HSP), and Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormones (CHHs). Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 2024; 271:110942. [PMID: 38224831 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpb.2024.110942] [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: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Salinity and temperature influence growth, survival, and reproduction of crustacean species such as Penaeus vannamei where Na +/K+-ATPase plays a key role in maintaining osmotic homeostasis in different salinity conditions. This ability is suggested to be mediated by other proteins including neuropeptides such as the crustacean hyperglycemic hormones (CHHs), and heat shock proteins (HSPs). The mRNA expression of Na+/K+-ATPase, HSP60, HSP70, CHH-A, and CHH-B1, was analyzed by qPCR in shrimp acclimated to different salinities (10, 26, and 40 PSU) and temperature conditions (20, 23, 26, 29, and 32 °C) to evaluate their uses as molecular stress biomarkers. The results showed that the hemolymph osmoregulatory capacity in shrimp changed with exposure to the different salinities. From 26 to 32 °C the Na+/K+-ATPase expression increased significantly at 10 PSU relative to shrimp acclimated at 26 PSU and at 20 °C increased at similar values independently of salinity. The highest HSP expression levels were obtained by HSP70 at 20 °C, suggesting a role in protecting proteins such as Na+/K+ -ATPase under low-temperature and salinity conditions. CHH-A was not expressed in the gill under any condition, but CHH-B1 showed the highest expression at the lowest temperatures and salinities, suggesting its participation in the Na+/K+-ATPase induction. Since Na+/K+-ATPase, HSPs, and CHHs seem to participate in maintaining the osmo-ionic balance and homeostasis in P. vannamei, their expression levels may be used as a stress biomarkers to monitor marine crustacean health status when acclimated in low salinity and temperature conditions.

Effect of transporting Oreochromis niloticus in water with and without sodium chloride on skin morphology and some immunity-related genes expression. BMC Vet Res 2024; 20:105. [PMID: 38493097 PMCID: PMC10943852 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-024-03937-9] [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: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of salt addition on the skin gene expression of Mucin, Antimicrobial peptides, cortisol, and glucose in Oreochromis niloticus after 5-hour transportation in water. Three groups were compared: Control, post-transport without salt (PT-S), and post-transport with 5 g salt-1(PT + S), with a stocking density of 28.6 gL-1, 20 fish for each experimental group. The results showed that the PT-S group had more significant changes in gene expression than the PT + S group, suggesting that salt alleviated the stress and immune responses of O. niloticus. The PT-S group had higher expression of mucin- 2(MUC + 2) (7.58 folds) and mucin-5AC (MUC5-AC) (6.29 folds) than the PT + S group (3.30 folds and 4.16 folds, respectively). The PT-S group also had lower expression of β-defensin-1 (Dβ1) (0.42 folds), β-defensin-2 (Dβ2) (0.29 folds), and Cath1 (0.16 folds) than the PT + S group (0.82 folds, 0.69 folds, and 0.75 folds, respectively). The skin morphology of the PT-S group revealed some white patches with no goblet cell openings, while the PT + S group had better preservation of skin features with some goblet cell openings and slight white patches. This study indicates that O. niloticus can benefit from sodium chloride during transportation, as it helps to reduce stress and inflammation, balance mineral levels, enhance health and immunity, and regulate mucous secretion.

Abstract
Due to global warming, world water bodies have higher temperatures and lower oxygen concentrations that affect aquatic species including the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. This species withstands these conditions, but the information of the physiological responses that allow them to survive are scarce. We analyzed the effects of high temperature, hypoxia, reoxygenation, and the combination of these factors on the relative expression of selected genes: HSF1, Hsp70, p53, TIGAR, HIF-1α, and VEGF1-3 in gills of L. vannamei. Additionally, glucose, lactate, NADP, and NADPH were determined. HSF1 was up-regulated in the high temperature and oxygen stress conditions, but Hsp70 was up-regulated only in reoxygenation at both temperatures. HIF-1α was also up-regulated by reoxygenation in both temperatures. Meanwhile, the VEGF genes were not altered by the stress conditions, since none of them changed expression drastically. p53 relative expression remained stable at the tested stress conditions, which prompts to the maintenance of antioxidant defenses. TIGAR expression was induced in normoxia and hypoxia at high temperature, which induced NADPH content helping to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, high temperature caused higher glucose and lactate content in normoxia and hypoxia, indicating carbohydrate mobilization and a switch to anaerobic metabolism. The results showed that HSF1, the anaerobic metabolism and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) are crucial for the shrimp response to these abiotic stress conditions and contribute to their survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba (E. superba), is a key organism in the Antarctic marine ecosystem and has been widely studied. However, there is a lack of transcriptome data focusing on temperature responses. METHODS In this study, we performed transcriptome sequencing of E. superba samples exposed to three different temperatures: -1.19 °C (low temperature, LT), - 0.37 °C (medium temperature, MT), and 3 °C (high temperature, HT). RESULTS Illumina sequencing generated 772,109,224 clean reads from the three temperature groups. In total, 1,623, 142, and 842 genes were differentially expressed in MT versus LT, HT versus LT, and HT versus MT, respectively. Moreover, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that these differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in the Hippo signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Quantitative reverse-transcription PCR revealed that ESG037073 expression was significantly upregulated in the MT group compared with the LT group, and ESG037998 expression was significantly higher in the HT group than in the LT group. CONCLUSIONS This is the first transcriptome analysis of E. superba exposed to three different temperatures. Our results provide valuable resources for further studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying temperature adaptation in E. superba.

The influence of ocean acidification and warming on responses of Scylla serrata to oil pollution: An integrated biomarker approach. Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 2023; 266:110847. [PMID: 36921914 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpb.2023.110847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
Anthropogenic activities primarily combustion of fossil fuel is the prime cause behind the increased concentration of CO2 into the atmosphere. As a consequence, marine environments are anticipated to experience shift towards lower pH and elevated temperatures. Moreover, since the industrial revolution the growing demand for petroleum-based products has been mounting up worldwide leading to severe oil pollution. Sundarbans estuarine system (SES) is experiencing ocean warming, acidification as well as oil pollution from the last couple of decades. Scylla serrata is one of the most commercially significant species for aquaculture in coastal areas of Sundarbans. Thus, the prime objective of this study is to delineate whether exposure under ocean warming and acidification exacerbates effect of oil spill on oxidative stress of an estuarine crab S. serrata. Animals were separately exposed under current and projected climate change scenario for 30 days. After this half animals of each treatment were exposed to oil spill conditions for 24 h. Oxidative stress status superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), lipid peroxidation (LPO level) and DNA damage (Comet assay) were measured. Augmented antioxidant and detoxification enzyme activity was noted except for SOD but failed to counteract LPO and DNA damage. The present results clearly highlighted the detrimental combined effect of OWA and pollution on oxidative stress status of crabs that might potentially reduce its population and affect the coastal aquaculture in impending years.

Abstract
This study conducted to investigate Mucin, Antimicrobial peptides, Cytokines, prolactin and growth hormones gene expression of skin of Oreochromis niloticus after transportation for 5-hour in water with and without salt. Three experimental groups (Control, post-transport without salt (PT-S) and post-transport with 5g salt/L (PT + S)) were investigated. Overall, they were dramatically changed in the PT-S group than PT + S group indicating that the addition of salt to transport water mitigated the stress effect on the O. niloticus physiology and immunity. MUC + 2 a greater up-regulation was recorded in the PT-S group (7.58 folds) comparing to 3.30 folds in the PT + S group and the MUC5-AC greater up-regulated in the PT-S group (6.29 folds) comparing to a 4.16 folds in the PT + S group. The antimicrobial peptides Dβ1, Dβ2 and Cath1 genes expression were all significantly down regulated in the PT-S and PT + S skin comparing with the control and this down regulation was more dramatic in the PT-S group recording 0.42, 029 and 0.16 folds matching with 0.82, 0.69 and 0.75 in the PT + S group respectively. Scanning microscopy of skin of PT-S group showed few scratched white patches among normal regions that may represent thickened surface with absence of opening of goblets cell, while the skin of PT + S group showed moderate preservation of surface skin features with some goblet cells opening and slight thickened white patches could be observed and goblet cells opening were not so clear like control.

Abstract
Crustaceans and in particular decapods (i.e. shrimp, crabs and lobsters) are a diverse, commercially and ecologically important group of organisms. They are exposed to a range of environmental factors whose abiotic and biotic components are prone to fluctuate beyond their optimum ranges and, in doing so, affect crustaceans' immune system and health. Changes in key environmental factors such as temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia concentrations and pathogens can provoke stress and immune responses due to alterations in immune parameters. The mechanisms through which stressors mediate effects on immune parameters are not fully understood in decapods. Improved knowledge of the environmental factors - above all, their abiotic components - that influence the immune parameters of decapods could help mitigate or constrain their harmful effects that adversely affect the production of decapod crustaceans. The first part of this overview examines current knowledge and information gaps regarding the basic components and functions of the innate immune system of decapods. In the second part, we discuss various mechanisms provoked by environmental factors and categorize cellular and molecular immune responses to each environmental factor with special reference to decapods.

Abstract
Sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicas (Selenka) is one of the important aquaculture species distributed in northern China. In recent years, global warming caused frequent high temperature weather in summer in northern China, resulting in dramatic losses of the sea cucumber aquaculture industry. In the present study, we focused on the effect of oxidative stress in Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka) subjected to high temperature stress. Sea cumbers were exposed to the control (16 °C), and high temperature treatments (20 °C, 24 °C, and 28 °C) for 7 days. Then, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, catalase (CAT) activity, peroxidase (POD) activity, reduced glutathione (GSH) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level in the respiratory tree and body wall were detected, respectively. Results showed that 24 °C and 28 °C acute exposure induced the elevation of ROS level, SOD, CAT, POD activities, GSH content, MDA content and 8-OHdG level in the respiratory tree of sea cucumber. In contrast, no significant changes were observed for ROS and 8-OHdG levels in the body wall of sea cucumber, while the antioxidants including SOD, CAT, POD, and GSH decreased to some extent. Moreover, MDA content exhibited a noticeable increase in the body wall, similarly to that in the respiratory tree, indicating that high temperature could induce severe lipid peroxidation in two tissues. Considering the differences in various biomarkers measured in two tissues, respiratory tree might be more susceptible to the high temperature changes compared to the body wall. Our findings may help understand the oxidative stress response to high temperature in the respiratory tree and the body wall in A. japonicus.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin (Prx), an antioxidant enzyme family, has been identified as immune modulating damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in mammals but not in shrimp. Acute non-lethal heat shock (NLHS) that enhances shrimp Penaeus vannamei resistance to Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VPAHPND). Among the five P. vannamei Prxs (LvPrx) isoforms, LvPrx4, the most abundant in unchallenged shrimp hemocytes that was upregulated in hemocytes following NLHS treatment, is of great interest. The escalation of the LvPrx4 monomer in hemolymph of NLHS treated shrimp indicates that it probably acts as DAMP. This study revealed that pre-challenge with rLvPrx4 could prolong VPAHPND-infected shrimp survival, increase prophenoloxidase (proPO) activity and promote Toll pathway-related genes expression mediated by Toll-like receptor (TLR) 1 and 2. The presented findings elucidated the molecular mechanism of LvPrx4 monomer as DAMP in NLHS-induced VPAHPND resistance by inducing the TLR1/2 signaling pathway and the proPO activating system.

Microplastic-Contaminated Feed Interferes with Antioxidant Enzyme and Lysozyme Gene Expression of Pacific White Shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei) Leading to Hepatopancreas Damage and Increased Mortality. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12233308.

Abstract
Microplastic pollution can interfere with aquatic animal health and nonspecific immunity, increasing the potential for pathogen infection in crustaceans. However, the long-term effects of microplastics on crustacean immunity are less understood, especially regarding their toxicity in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Effects of high-density polyethylene microplastics (HDPE-MPs) in feed on the mortality rate, hepatopancreas, and nonspecific immune system gene expression of Pacific white shrimp are presented. The LC50 at day 28 of HDPE-MP exposure was determined as 3.074% HDPE-MP in feed. A significant upregulation of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) genes was observed in shrimp that were fed with 0.1 and 0.5% of HDPE-MP; then, they were downregulated significantly, except for the SOD gene expression of shrimp fed with 0.1% of HDPE-MP. The lysozyme (LYZ) gene was upregulated significantly in shrimp that were fed with 0.5, 1, and 3% HDPE-MP for 7 days and downregulated significantly in HDPE-receiving groups for at least 14 days. Significant histopathological changes in the hepatopancreas were observed in the treatment groups. The histopathological score of each lesion was correlated with the increase in HDPE-MP concentration. This study shows that the ingestion of HDPE microplastics can alter the expression of nonspecific immune system genes and damage the hepatopancreas in Pacific white shrimp.

Effects of Low Temperature on Antioxidant and Heat Shock Protein Expression Profiles and Transcriptomic Responses in Crayfish ( Cherax destructor). Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11091779.

Abstract
Low temperature is a critical factor restricting the growth and survival of aquatic animals, but research on the mechanism of response to low temperature in Cherax destructor is limited. C. destructor is one of the most important freshwater crustaceans with strong adaptability in Australia, and it has been commercialized gradually in recent years. Here, growth indicators, antioxidant parameters, anti-stress gene expression, and transcriptome sequencing were used on crayfish following 8 weeks of low-temperature acclimation. The results showed that weight gain, length gain, and molting rates decreased as the temperature decreased. The activity of antioxidant enzymes decreased, while the content of antioxidant substances and the expression of anti-stress genes increased. Transcriptome sequencing identified 589 differentially expressed genes, 279 of which were upregulated and 310 downregulated. The gene functions and pathways for endocrine disorders, glucose metabolism, antioxidant defense, and immune responses were identified. In conclusion, although low-temperature acclimation inhibited the basal metabolism and immune ability of crayfish, it also increased the antioxidant substance content and anti-stress-gene expression to protect the organism from low-temperature damage. This study provided molecular insights into the study of low-temperature responses of low-temperature-tolerant crustacean species.

Abstract
As an economically important flatfish in Asia, Japanese flounder is threatened by continuously rising temperatures due to global warming. To understand the molecular responses of this species to temperature stress, adult Japanese flounder individuals were treated with two kinds of heat stress—a gradual temperature rise (GTR) and an abrupt temperature rise (ATR)—in aquaria under experimental conditions. Changes in histopathology, programmed cell death levels and the oxidative stress status of gills were investigated. Histopathology showed that the damage caused by ATR stress was more serious. TUNEL signals confirmed this result, showing more programmed cell death in the ATR group. In addition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and the 8-O-hDG contents of both the GTR and ATR groups increased significantly, and the total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activities and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) levels decreased in the two stressed groups, which showed damage to antioxidant systems. Meanwhile, RNA-seq was utilized to illustrate the molecular mechanisms underyling gill damage. Compared to the control group of 18 °C, 507 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened in the GTR group; 341 were up-regulated and 166 were down-regulated, and pathway enrichment analysis indicated that they were involved in regulation and adaptation, including chaperone and folding catalyst pathways, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling (MAPK) pathway and DNA replication protein pathways. After ATR stress, 1070 DEGs were identified, 627 were up-regulated and 423 were down-regulated, and most DEGs were involved in chaperone and folding catalyst and DNA-related pathways, such as DNA replication proteins and nucleotide excision repair. The annotation of DEGs showed the great importance of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in protecting Japanese flounder from heat stress injury; 12 hsp genes were found after GTR, while 5 hsp genes were found after ATR. In summary, our study records gill dysfunction after heat stress, with different response patterns observed in the two experimental designs; chaperones were activated to defend heat stress after GTR, while replication was almost abandoned due to the severe damage consequent on ATR stress.

Abstract
We investigated whether dietary supplementation with Aurantiochytrium sp. meal, a DHA-rich source (docosahexaenoic acid, 22: 6 n-3), fed during long-term exposure to cold-suboptimal temperature (22 °C, P1), followed by short-term exposure to higher temperatures (28 °C, P2, and 33 °C, P3), would promote oxidative damage in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two supplementation levels were tested: 1.0 g 100 g-1 (D1) and 4.0 g 100 g-1 (D4). A control diet, without the additive (D0, 0 g 100 g-1), and a positive control diet supplemented with cod liver oil (CLO) were also tested. The concentrations of DHA and total n-3 PUFAs in the CLO diet were similar to those found in diets D1 and D4, respectively. The parameters analyzed included hemoglobin (Hb), the antioxidant enzymes catalase, glutathione peroxidase, total glutathione, non-protein thiols, and the oxidative markers protein carbonyl and erythrocyte DNA damage. Nile tilapia did not present differences in Hb content, regardless of diet composition, but the temperature increase (P1 to P2) led to a higher Hb content. Likewise, the temperature increases promoted alterations in all antioxidant enzymes. The dietary supplementation with 1.0 g 100 g-1 Aurantiochytrium sp. meal after P1 caused minor DNA damage in Nile tilapia, demonstrating that the additive can safely be included in winter diets, despite its high DHA concentration.

Abstract
UVA is the most common type of solar UV radiation in aquatic environments; however, the effects it causes in shrimp farming in recirculating water systems (RAS) is unclear. Thus, the growth performance, immune responses, antioxidant status and apoptosis-related gene expression in Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei (body weight 9.56 ± 0.10 g), reared with 12L: 12D full spectrum light as background light under five UVA (peak at 400 nm) photoperiods (0L: 24D, 2L: 22D, 4L: 20D, 8L: 16D and 12L: 12D) at a light intensity of 1 W/m2 were investigated. The results showed that the 2L: 22D and 4L: 20D UVA photoperiods enhanced the growth performance and reduced the feed conversion ratio and the shrimp mortality. Shrimp exposed to UVA (2L: 22D and 4L: 20D) also displayed higher levels of hepatopancreas catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), acid phosphatase (ACP), phenol oxidase (PO) and lysozyme (LZM) compared to the 8L: 16D and 12L: 12D groups. The malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased in line with the extension of the UVA irradiation time. The mRNA expression of apoptosis-related genes in all the UVA treatments were significantly higher than with the control treatment, except for the 2L: 22D group. The results of the 2L: 22D and 4L: 20D treatments were significantly higher than those of the control group, except for LGBP. In conclusion, 2L: 22D and 4L: 20D UVA photoperiods increased growth performance and decreased FCR, improved the innate immunity and antioxidant response and reduced the mortality rate in adult shrimp.

Cheng AC, Shiu YL, Chiu ST, Ballantyne R, Liu CH. Effects of chitin from Daphnia similis and its derivative, chitosan on the immune response and disease resistance of white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 119:329-338. [PMID: 34662729 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2021.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Daphnia similis chitin and its derivative chitosan were prepared as immunostimulants to boost the immune response and determine the ability to control infectious disease caused by Vibrio alginolyticus in white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Three experimental diets supplemented with 0% chitin or chitosan (control) and 0.4% chitin or 0.4% chitosan were fed to shrimp for 56 days. Dietary inclusion of 0.4% chitosan accelerated shrimp growth compared to chitin and control. The survival and disease resistance of shrimp increased significantly when fed chitin and chitosan diets, after pathogenic injection, as indicated by the up-regulated immune responses in respiratory burst (RB), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and phagocytic activity (PA). There were no significant differences in the total haemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase (PO)activity, and lysozyme (LYZ) activity among the groups. No significant differences were observed for prophenoloxidase system-related gene expressions among groups. However, shrimp fed chitin, and chitosan expressed significantly higher levels of antimicrobial proteins (penaeidin 3a, crustin, and anti-lipopolysaccharide factor 2) in the haemocytes than in control. The gene expressions of catalase and heat shock protein 70 increased in the hepatopancreas of shrimp fed chitosan diet compared to the chitin and control diet. The O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (ogt) was significantly higher in the haemocytes of shrimp fed chitosan and chitin than the control, but ogt was only significantly higher in the hepatopancreas of shrimp fed chitosan. Dietary chitin and chitosan also showed positive effects on the transcription of peritrophin-like protein. These findings suggest that both chitin and chitosan from D. similis are efficacious at boosting the immunity of shrimp by preventing and controlling infectious diseases caused by Vibrio and have great potential to be used as a feasible immunostimulant that significantly contributes to the circular economy.

Combined stress of acute cold exposure and waterless duration at low temperature induces mortality of shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei through injuring antioxidative and immunological response in hepatopancreas tissue. J Therm Biol 2021; 100:103080. [PMID: 34503768 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.103080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
High mortality is a frequent occurrence during live transport of shrimp species and the biochemical mechanism remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the influence of combined stress of acute cold exposure (AC) and waterless duration (WD) on survivability and biochemical response of shrimp L. vannamei during live transport. The shrimps in NC and AC groups remained the total survivability throughout the experiment while the shrimps exposed to AC + WD stress exhibited significantly higher mortality since 6h afterwards (P < 0.05) and the median survival time was calculated at 10.46 h. Moreover, the typical combined stress points at AC + WD3h, AC + WD6h and AC + WD9h were assigned for exploring the immunological and antioxidative responses. For immunity response, the total hemocyte counts (THC) decreased with the prolongation of duration time and the activities of non-specific immunity enzymes such as phenol oxidase (PO), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were significantly elevated in AC + WD9h groups (P < 0.05). Moreover, compared with that in NC group, the significant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was observed in AC group and then reduced in combined stress groups (P < 0.05), with the highest level of malonaldehyde (MDA) in AC and AC + WD3h groups. Overall, the significant elevation of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was detected in AC + WD9h group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the accumulative pathological impairment on hepatopancreas tissue revealed the cytoskeleton degradation. In addition, correlation analyses visualized the correlation between oxidative stress and biochemical response. This study not only deepens our understanding on the biochemical mechanism of shrimp mortality induced by combined stress, but also provides a potential strategy for improving the management of L. vannamei during live transport.

Abstract
Low oxygen concentration in water (hypoxia) and high temperature are becoming more frequent due to climate change, forcing animals to endure stress or decease. Hypoxia and high temperature stress can lead to reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and oxidative damage to the organisms. The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the most cultivated crustacean worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression and enzymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and cytosolic manganese superoxide dismutase (cMnSOD) in gills and hepatopancreas from L. vannamei in response to two combined stressors: hypoxia and reoxygenation at control and high temperature (28 vs 35 °C, respectively). In addition, glutathione and hydrogen peroxide content were analyzed. The changes were mainly tissue-specific. In gills, cMnSOD expression and enzymatic activity increased in response to the interactions between oxygen variation and thermal stress, while GPx and CAT were maintained. More changes occurred in GPx, CAT and MnSOD in hepatopancreas than in gills, mainly due to the effect of the individual stress factors of thermal stress or oxygen variations. On the other hand, the redox state of glutathione indicated that during high temperature, changes in the GSH/GSSG ratio occurred due to the fluctuations of GSSG. Hydrogen peroxide concentration was not affected by thermal stress or oxygen variations in hepatopancreas, whereas in gills, it was not detected. Altogether, these results indicate a complex pattern of antioxidant response to hypoxia, reoxygenation, high temperature and their combinations.

Abstract
Biofloc systems generate and accumulate microbial aggregates known as bioflocs. The presence of bioflocs has been shown to change gut bacterial diversity and stimulate innate immunity in shrimp. The microbial niche of bioflocs may therefore have the potential to drive shifts in the shrimp gut microbiota associated with stimulation of innate immunity. We performed shotgun metagenomic analysis and 16S rRNA-based amplicon sequencing to characterize complex bacterial members in bioflocs and the shrimp digestive tract, respectively. Moreover, we determined whether biofloc-grown shrimp with discrete gut microbiomes had an elevation in local immune-related gene expression and systemic immune activities. Our findings demonstrated that the bacterial community in bioflocs changed dynamically during Pacific white shrimp cultivation. Metagenomic analysis revealed that Vibrio comprised 90% of the biofloc population, while Pseualteromonas, Photobacterium, Shewanella, Alteromonas, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Acinetobacter, Clostridium, Marinifilum, and Pseudomonas were also detected. In the digestive tract, biofloc-grown shrimp maintained the presence of commensal bacteria including Vibrio, Photobacterium, Shewanella, Granulosicoccus, and Ruegeria similar to control shrimp. However, Vibrio and Photobacterium were significantly enriched and declined, respectively, in biofloc-grown shrimp. The presence of bioflocs upregulated immune-related genes encoding serine proteinase and prophenoloxidase in digestive organs which are routinely exposed to gut microbiota. Biofloc-grown shrimp also demonstrated a significant increase in systemic immune status. As a result, the survival rate of biofloc-grown shrimp was substantially higher than that of the control shrimp. Our findings suggested that the high relative abundance of vibrios in bioflocs enriched the number of vibrios in the digestive tract of biofloc-grown shrimp. This shift in gut microbiota composition may be partially responsible for local upregulation of immune-related gene expression in digestive organs and systemic promotion of immune status in circulating hemolymph.

Abstract
The increasing utilization of chemicals and ongoing climate change have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. The present study examined combined effects of water temperature, chemical concentration, and duration of exposure to the neonicotinoid thiacloprid on marbled crayfish Procambarus virginalis. Crayfish were exposed to thiacloprid at the environmental concentration of 4.50 μg L-1 and 10% 96LC50 to marbled crayfish, 64.64 μg L-1, at water temperature of 17 and 23 °C for 28 days followed by a 28 day depuration period. No crayfish died during the experiment. Both thiacloprid concentrations at 23 °C showed a synergistic effect with temperature on the biochemical indicators in haemolymph compared to those at 17 °C. Both concentrations of thiacloprid at both temperatures were associated with significant differences from thiacloprid-free controls (P < 0.01) in haemolymph glucose, ammonia, calcium, inorganic phosphate, and lactate; haemolymph enzymes aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatine kinase, and alkaline phosphatase; antioxidant biomarkers superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione S-transferase, and reduced glutathione in hepatopancreas, muscle, and gill, and showed lipid peroxidation in hepatopancreas and muscle. Histological analyses revealed structural changes and damage to gill and hepatopancreas of exposed crayfish.

Abstract
The effects of silicon (Si) on temperature stresses were investigated in poinsettia. Well-rooted cuttings supplemented with and without Si were exposed to 40 °C, and plants treated with or without Si during cutting propagation and cultivation were subjected to 4 °C. The results showed that almost all the stomata of cuttings without Si supplementation were closed, while some of them were still open in cuttings supplemented with Si under a high temperature stress. However, Si was not able to alleviate stomatal closure of poinsettia under low temperature stress. The increased epicuticular wax might contribute to enhanced resistance of poinsettia to low temperature stresses. In addition, poinsettia maintained a higher photosynthetic rate and lower malonaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide concentrations when supplemented with Si under high and low temperature stresses, which might contribute to lower APX activities. Overall, temperature stresses had negative impacts on the physiological characteristics of poinsettia, while Si could alleviate some effects of temperature stresses.

Abstract
Desiccation is a commonly stressful situation experienced by sea cucumber during transportation without/less water. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of aerial exposure on the survival, oxidative damage, antioxidant capacity, immune-related response and gene expression of Apostichopus japonicus at different low temperatures. After acclimation, sea cucumbers were randomly divided into 3 groups, which were exposed to 5 °C, 10 °C and 15 °C in the closed laboratory condition, respectively. Each group has three parallel replicates. During the experiment, coelomic fluid and respiratory tree of A. japonicus were sampled at the time points of 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h post-desiccation for further analysis. The results showed that the survival rates of sea cucumber significantly decreased as time prolonged, and those of 5 °C at 6-48 h of desiccation were significantly higher than 15 °C. Most oxidative damage parameters (e.g., O2- production, MDA, LPO and PC contents) significant increased after 6-12 h of desiccation. Antioxidant enzyme activities and T-AOC in coelomic fluid firstly increased and then decreased during aerial exposure, indicating that sea cucumber could adjust antioxidant defense to reduce the concentrations of ROS and MDA as a strategy for protecting organisms from oxidative damage in the early stage (0-6 h) of desiccation. The relative expression levels of Hsp90 and Hsp70 mRNA in respiratory tree of sea cucumber exhibited similar rise-fall trends with antioxidant parameters, while immune enzyme activities of ACP, AKP, LSZ and T-NOS, and gene expression of TLR, Rel and p105 all significantly decreased as time prolonged. Overall, low temperature postponed the process of ROS formation and the depression of antioxidant and non-specific immune responses of sea cucumber within a certain extent, which implied that it might play a positive role in improvement of desiccation tolerance. This study not only contribute to better understand the adaption mechanisms of A. japonicus to desiccation stress, but also provide valuable information for sea cucumber culture and transportation.

Abstract
High temperature is an important environmental factor that affects the survival and immunity of aquatic animals. The intestine of crustaceans is their first line of defense, and the physiological homeostasis of this organ can be influenced by high temperature stress. The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is an important commercial aquaculture species in China, but little is known about its intestinal immune response to acute heat stress. In this study, we investigated the intestinal immune response of P. clarkii individuals that were assigned to the control (25 °C) and heat stress (35 °C) groups. Biochemical assays were conducted for the oxidative stress parameters ·O2- generation capacity, lipid peroxide content, and malondialdehyde content; the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase; and the activities of the immunity-related enzymes alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and lysozyme. The relative expression level of the antioxidant genes heat shock protein 70 (hsp70), ferritin (fer), and metallothione (met) was examined by RT-PCR. Based on the data obtained, all the parameters tended to increase, peak and then decrease with time, and were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). These findings reveal that acute heat stress adversely affects the antioxidant status and immune function in the P. clarkii intestine. They lay the groundwork for future studies on the effect of rising water temperatures on immune function and survival of this species.

Abstract
Trichlorfon (TCF) is an organophosphate compound used extensively as an anti-parasitic in aquaculture. In this study, we investigated the effects of TCF on the antioxidant defense system, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and stress responses in various tissues of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). C.carpio L. were exposed to different concentrations of TCF (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4 mg L-1) at 25 and 15 °C for two weeks (measurements were taken after week 1 and 2). TCF exposure induced significant alterations in antioxidant responses in the gills and the liver. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) increased considerably after TCF exposure, depending on water temperature, whereas catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) levels decreased notably after one and two weeks. Remarkable antioxidant responses were observed in the gills, suggesting the gills were more sensitive to oxidative stress than the liver based on CAT, GST, and GSH levels. Notable increases in MDA levels were observed in the gills and the liver. AChE activity was significantly inhibited in the brain and muscles even at the lowest TCF concentration of 0.5 mg L-1, indicating neurotoxicity following TCF exposure. As a stress indicator, plasma cortisol was significantly elevated following exposure to TCF depending on water temperature, thereby enhancing stress. These results suggest that TCF exposure can induce considerable alterations in antioxidant responses, neurotoxicity, and stress reaction depending on water temperature. The assayed enzymes are potential biomarkers of organophosphate contamination.

Mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase from the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei: Molecular characterization and effect of high temperature, hypoxia and reoxygenation on expression and enzyme activity. J Therm Biol 2020; 88:102519.

Abstract
Climate warming has been increasing ocean water temperature and decreasing oxygen concentrations, exposing aquatic organisms to environmental stress conditions. The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei manages to survive these harsh environmental conditions by enhancing their antioxidant defenses, among other strategies. In this study, we report the mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (mMnSOD) nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences and its gene expression in L. vannamei tissues. The deduced protein has 220 amino acids with a signal peptide of 20 amino acids. Expression of mMnSOD was analyzed in hepatopancreas, gills and muscle, where gills had highest expression in normoxic conditions. In addition, shrimp were subjected to high temperature, hypoxia and reoxygenation to analyze the effect on the expression of mMnSOD and SOD activity in mitochondria. High temperature and hypoxia showed a synergistic effect in the up-regulation on expression of mMnSOD in gills and hepatopancreas. Moreover, induction in SOD activity was found in the mitochondrial fraction from gills of normoxia at high temperature, probably due to an overproduction of reactive oxygen species caused by an elevated metabolic rate due to the stress temperature. These results suggest that the combined stress conditions of hypoxia and high temperature trigger molecularly the antioxidant response in L. vannamei in a higher degree than only one stressor.

Effects of thermal stress on mortality and HSP90 expression levels in the noble scallops Chlamys nobilis with different total carotenoid content. Cell Stress Chaperones 2020; 25:105-117. [PMID: 31768900 PMCID: PMC6985358 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-019-01052-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2019] [Revised: 11/04/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The noble scallop Chlamys nobilis is an economically important marine bivalve cultivated in the southern sea of China since the 1980s. Unfortunately, mass mortality of this scallop species often occurs in summer. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the expression of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and level of carotenoids could enhance high-temperature stress resistance in scallop. First, the HSP90 homolog of C. nobilis (designated CnHSP90) was identified and cloned. The complete cDNA sequence of CnHSP90 was 2631 bp, including a 2181-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 726 amino acid polypeptide with five HSP90 family signatures, and sharing high homology with members of the HSP90 family. CnHSP90 was ubiquitously expressed in all examined tissues including the intestine, kidney, adductor, mantle, gill, and gonad, with the highest in the gonad. Golden and brown scallops, which contain significantly different total carotenoid content (TCC), were subjected to acute thermal challenge, and the LTE50 (semi-lethal temperature at 36 h heat shock) and LTI50 (semi-lethal time after heat shock) as well as the correlation between CnHSP90 gene expression and TCC were determined. The LTE50 of golden scallop (32.14 °C) was higher than that of brown scallops (31.19 °C), with longer LTI50 at all tested temperatures, indicating that golden scallops were more resistant to thermal stress than brown scallops. Similarly, the mRNA expression levels of CnHSP90 in gill of golden scallops were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of brown scallops at 6, 12, 24, and 36 h, with a strong positive correlation between CnHSP90 expression level and TCC. This suggests that both carotenoids and HSP90 levels could improve thermal resistance in the noble scallops.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 95:670-678. [PMID: 31689553 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2019.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/01/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Palytoxins (PLTXs) are a group of complex and poisonous marine natural products that are toxic to marine life and even human beings. In the present study, the oxidative stress and immune response in the hepatopancreas and gills of Litopenaeus vannamei were assessed for 72 h after injection with PLTX extracts. Chemical and physiological parameters, e.g., the respiratory burst (O2-), activities of antioxidant enzymes, oxidative damage to lipids, carbonylation of proteins, and immune gene mRNA expression levels, were analysed. The results showed that the PLTX extract was not fatal to the shrimp but could reduce their mobility. The O2- levels in the gills gradually increased after exposure to PLTX extracts and were significantly higher than those in the control from 6 to 72 h. The malondialdehyde content, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl levels, and total antioxidant capacity in the gills all peaked at 12 h. At the same time, the gills were loosely connected, there was a clear disintegration of the epithelial tissue, and the stratum corneum disappeared after 12 h. In addition, compared to those in the control group, the PLTX extract treatment increased the O2- content, malondialdehyde content, lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonyl levels from 12 to 72 h, 24-48 h, 12-24 h, and 12-72 h after injection in the hepatopancreas of the shrimp, respectively. Both the Crustin and Toll gene expression levels significantly increased in the hepatopancreas compared to those in the control 6-72 h after injection of the toxin. In parallel, the expression levels of the manganese superoxide dismutase gene gradually decreased from 6 to 48 h and returned to normal levels after 72 h. Interestingly, the total antioxidant capacity also significantly increased compared to that in the control from 6 to 72 h. Our results indicate that although PLTX extracts cause lipid peroxidation and carbonylation of proteins in hepatopancreatic cells, leading to their damage, they did not cause a decrease in the total antioxidant capacity of the hepatopancreas.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 100:103413.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore the immune response of the shrimp Penaeus vannamei to low temperature and air exposure during the mimic waterless transportation. Shrimp were cold shocked at 13 °C for 3 min, then exposed to air at 15 °C for 12 h, and finally revived in water at 25 °C. Hemocyte structure remained intact with only slight distortions of some organelles and nuclear membrane under the stress. Phenoloxidase (PO), lysozyme (Lys) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activities, glutamine (Gln) content and relative mRNA expressions of prophenoloxidase (proPO), β-1,3-glucan binding protein (LGBP), ferrin (Fer) and glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP 78) increased and reached peak levels after 3 h-9 h of air exposure, and then decreased to relatively stable levels in the prolonged period of air exposure. The total hemocyte count (THC) and gene expressions of proPO, Fer and LGBP at the end of waterless storage were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than those in fresh shrimp while no significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) was found between revived and fresh shrimp in PO, Lys, GGT activities, Gln content and gene expression level of GRP 78. Of all the hemocytes, the percentage of semi granular cells (SGC) and granular cells (GC) significantly decreased after 6-9 h of storage, while hyaline cells (HC) dramatically increased after 9 h of storage to compensate the loss of SGC and GC. Results suggested that the low temperature and air exposure caused significant immunological response to the shrimp, but the damages to the immune system were partly reparable.

Changes in growth performance, haematological parameters, hepatopancreas histopathology and antioxidant status of pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) fed oxidized fish oil: Regulation by dietary myo-inositol. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 88:53-64.

Abstract
A 58-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary myo-inositol (MI) supplementation on growth performance, haematological parameters, hepatopancreas histopathology and antioxidant status of Litopenaeus vannamei fed with oxidized fish oil (OFO). Control diet contained fresh fish oil (FFO) without MI supplementation. The other four diets contained two oxidation levels of OFO (peroxide value: 133.2 and 268.7 meq kg-1) with or without 200 mg MI kg-1 diets (MI0+L, MI0+H, MI200 + L and MI200 + H). Results showed that OFO-supplemented groups (without MI supplementation) showed better growth performance and lower whole-body inositol content when opposed to control group. MI supplementation significantly improved whole-body inositol content in high-oxidized fish oil (HOFO) groups, and also reduced whole-body lipid in low-oxidized fish oil (LOFO) groups. Moreover, Supplementation of OFO and MI markedly hit the fatty acid profile of muscle. HOFO caused severe histopathological changes in hepatopancreas of shrimp, which slightly alleviated by MI supplementation. MI supplementation also grew the total protein (TP) content and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity and decreased the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of serum in OFO-supplemented groups. Ingestion of OFO increased levels of lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in serum or hepatopancreas, which partly ameliorated by MI supplementation. Activities of antioxidant enzymes exhibited different expression patterns because of OFO and MI. In addition, HOFO markedly increased mRNA expression levels of antioxidant genes including ferritin (FT), thioredoxin (Trx), GPX, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT) and decreased peroxiredoxin (Prx) expression, in which expression of GPX and Prx were increased owing to MI supplementation. Therefore, it suggested that dietary OFO stimulated growth performance, but also induced oxidative stress and caused impairment to hepatopancreas in L. vannamei. The negative impact brought about by OFO was partially mitigated by dietary MI supplementation.

Abstract
The use of probiotics in aquaculture is a practical alternative to promote animal health and disease prevention. Meanwhile, this practice can also reduce the use of prophylactic antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to identify candidate probiotics that could control pathogen populations in host's gastrointestinal (GI) tract and stimulate host immunity in shrimp aquaculture. Bacillus aryabhattai TBRC8450, a bacterial strain isolated from the environment in a shrimp farm, has an antimicrobial activity against many pathogenic strains of Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus. Supplementation of B. aryabhattai to Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) not only decreased the abundance of Vibrio populations, but also shifted the bacterial community in the shrimp GI tract. We found that supplementation of B. aryabhattai triggered shrimp innate immunity and antioxidant activities. mRNA expression of genes encoding microbial peptides and antioxidant enzymes, including C-type lectin, penaeidin-3, heat shock protein 60, thioredoxin, and ferritin, was significantly upregulated in the hepatopancreas of shrimp fed B. aryabhattai. Furthermore, phenoloxidase activity in the hemocytes and the total antioxidant activity in the plasma were increased, indicating enhanced immune and antioxidant responses at the systemic level. In contrast, supplementation of B. aryabhattai had no effect on the total hemocyte count and superoxide dismutase activity in the plasma and hepatopancreas. Importantly, a pathogen challenge test using V. harveyi 1562 showed a significant increase in survival rates of shrimp fed B. aryabhattai compared to the control group. Our findings suggest that B. aryabhattai TBRC8450 can likely be used as a probiotic to reduce the population of V. harveyi in the shrimp GI tract and to enhance shrimp innate immunity and antioxidant capacity for vibriosis resistance in shrimp aquaculture.

A comparative study on oxidative stress response in the hepatopancreas and midgut of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei under gradual changes to low or high pH environment. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2018; 76:27-34. [PMID: 29444463 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2017] [Revised: 01/24/2018] [Accepted: 02/01/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
White shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were reared under conditions of gradual changes to a low pH (gradual-low pH, 6.65-8.20) or a high pH (gradual-high pH, 8.20-9.81) versus a normal pH environment (8.14-8.31) during a 28-day period. Survival of shrimp, and ROS production, antioxidant responses and oxidative damage in the hepatopancreas and midgut were investigated. Consequently, shrimp enhanced MnSOD, GPx, and Hsp70 transcripts as early defense mechanism in the hepatopancreas and midgut to scavenge excessive ROS during short-term (≤ 7 days) gradual-low and high pH stress. Meanwhile, the hepatopancreas was more sensitive to ROS than midgut because of earlier ROS production increase, antioxidant response and oxidative damage. Then, suppressed antioxidant response in the hepatopancreas and midgut of shrimp suggested a loss of antioxidant regulatory capacity caused by aggravated oxidative damage after long-term (≥ 14 days) gradual-high pH stress, leading to continuous death. However, enhanced GPx, GST, and Hsp70 transcripts in the hepatopancreas and midgut might be long-term(≥ 14 days) antioxidant adaptation mechanism of shrimp to gradual-low pH stress, which could prevent further ROS perturbation and weaken oxidative damage to achieve a new immune homeostasis, contributing to stable survival rate. Therefore, we have a few insights that it is necessary to protect hepatopancreas for controlling shrimp death under gradual-high pH stress.

Transcriptomic approach: A promising tool for rapid screening nanomaterial-mediated toxicity in the marine bivalve Mytilus edulis-Application to copper oxide nanoparticles. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2018; 205:26-33. [PMID: 29382575 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2018.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2017] [Revised: 01/11/2018] [Accepted: 01/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
The extensive development of nanotechnologies will inevitably lead to the release of nanomaterials (NMs) in the environment. As the aquatic environments represent the ultimate sink for various contaminants, it is highly probable that they also constitute a reservoir for NMs and hence aquatic animals represent potential targets. In a regulatory perspective, it is necessary to develop tools to rapidly screen the impact of NMs on model organisms, given that the number of NMs on the market will be increasing. In this context High Throughput Screening approaches represent relevant tools for the investigation of NM-mediated toxicity. The objective of this work was to study the effects of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) in the marine bivalve Mytilus edulis, using a transcriptomic approach. Mussels were exposed in vivo to CuONPs (10 μg·L-1CuO NPs) for 24 h and analysis of mRNA expression levels of genes implicated in immune response, antioxidant activities, cell metabolism, cell transport and cytoskeleton was investigated by qPCR on hemocytes and gills. Results showed common effects of CuONPs and its ionic counterpart. However, greater effects of CuONPs on GST, SOD, MT, Actin, ATP synthase gene expressions were observed compared to ionic form indicating that toxicity of CuONPs is not solely due to the release of Cu2+. Even though M. edulis genome is not fully characterized, this study provides additional knowledge on the signaling pathways implicated in CuONP-mediated toxicity and demonstrates the reliability of using a qPCR approach to go further in the cellular aspects implicated in response to NPs in marine bivalves.

Abstract
Ambient temperature associated stress can affect the normal physiological functions in ectotherms. To assess the effects of cold or heat stress on amphibians, the giant spiny frogs, Quasipaa spinosa, were acclimated at 22 °C followed by being treated at 5 °C or 30 °C for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, respectively. Histological alterations, apoptotic index, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, antioxidant activity indices and stress-response gene expressions in frog livers were subsequently determined. Results showed that many fat droplets appeared after 12 h of heat stress. Percentage of melanomacrophages centres significantly changed during 48 h at both stress conditions. Furthermore, the mitochondrial ROS levels were elevated in a time-dependent manner up to 6 h and 12 h in the cold and heat stress groups, respectively. The activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase were successively increased along the cold or heat exposure, and most of their gene expression levels showed similar changes at both stress conditions. Most tested HSP genes were sensitive to temperature exposure, and the expression profiles of most apoptosis-related genes was significantly up-regulated at 3 and 48 h under cold and heat stress, respectively. Apoptotic index at 48 h under cold stress was significantly higher than that under heat stress. Notably, lipid droplets, HSP30, HSP70 and HSP110 might be suitable bioindicators of heat stress. The results of these alterations at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels might contribute to a better understanding of the stress response of Q. spinosa and even amphibians under thermal stresses.

Abstract
Low temperature and air exposure were the key attributes for waterless transportation of fish and shrimp. In order to investigate the oxidative stress and antioxidant responses of the live shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in the mimic waterless transportation, live shrimp were cooled at 13 °C for 3 min, stored in oxygen at 15 °C for 12 h, and then revived in water at 25 °C. The survival rate of shrimp under this waterless transportation system was over 86.67%. The ultrastructure of hepatopancreas cells were observed while activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), antisuperoxide anion free radicals (ASAFR), total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and relative mRNA expressions of CAT and GSH-Px in the hemolymph and hepatopancreas were determined. Slight distortions of some organelles in hepatopancreas cells was reversible upon the shrimp revived from the cold shock. The activities of SOD, POD, CAT, GSH-Px, TAOC, ROS production and relative mRNA expressions of CAT and GSH-Px increased following the cold shock and reached peak levels after 3 or 6 h of storage, and then decreased gradually. There was no significant difference between the fresh and the revived shrimp in SOD, POD, GSH-Px, TAOC, ROS, MDA and relative mRNA expressions of CAT and GSH-Px. The oxidative stress and antioxidant responses were tissue-specific because hepatopancreas seemed to have a greater ability to defend against organelle damage and was more sensitive to stress than hemolymph based on the results of SOD activity, MDA content and GSH-Px mRNA expression. These results revealed that low temperature and air exposure caused significant oxidative and antioxidant responses, but did not lead to irreversible damages in this waterless system.

Abstract
Stress is a major factor that causes diseases and mortality in the aquaculture industry. The goal was to analyze the expression of stress-related biomarkers in response to different stressors in yellow perch, which is an important aquaculture candidate in North America and highly sensitive to handling in captivity. Three fish groups were established, each having four replicates, and subjected to water temperatures of 14, 20, and 26°C and acute handling stress was performed followed by a salt treatment for 144h at a salinity of 5 ppt. Serum and hepatic mRNA levels of heat shock protein (hsp70), insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1), glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), superoxide dismutase 1 (Sod1), and glutathione reductase (Gsr) were quantified at seven times interval over 144 h using ELISA and RT-qPCR. Handling stress caused a significant down-regulation in Hsp70, Gpx, Sod1, and Gsr at a water temperature of 20°C compared to 14 and 26°C. Igf1 was significantly upregulated at 20°C and down-regulated at 14 and 26°C. Salt treatment had a transient reverse effect on the targeted biomarkers in all groups at 72 h, then caused an upregulation after 144 h, compared to the control groups. The data showed a negative strong regulatory linear relationship between igf1 with hsp70 and anti-oxidative gene expressions. These findings could provide valuable new insights into the stress responses that affect fish health and could be used to monitor the stress.

Abstract
The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is an important cultured crustacean species worldwide. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of this species involved in the response to cold stress. In this study, four separate RNA-Seq libraries of L. vannamei were generated from 13°C stress and control temperature. Total 29,662 of Unigenes and overall of 19,619 annotated genes were obtained. Three comparisons were carried out among the four libraries, in which 72 of the top 20% of differentially-expressed genes were obtained, 15 GO and 5 KEGG temperature-sensitive pathways were fished out. Catalytic activity (GO: 0003824) and Metabolic pathways (ko01100) were the most annotated GO and KEGG pathways in response to cold stress, respectively. In addition, Calcium, MAPK cascade, Transcription factor and Serine/threonine-protein kinase signal pathway were picked out and clustered. Serine/threonine-protein kinase signal pathway might play more important roles in cold adaptation, while other three signal pathway were not widely transcribed. Our results had summarized the differentially-expressed genes and suggested the major important signaling pathways and related genes. These findings provide the first profile insight into the molecular basis of L. vannamei response to cold stress.

Abstract
A 56-day feeding trial followed by an acute high temperature stress test were performed to evaluate the effect of dietary probiotic Clostridium butyricum (CB) on growth performance and intestine antioxidant capacity of kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus. Shrimp were randomly allocated in 9 tanks (30 shrimp per tank) and triplicate tanks were fed with diets containing different levels of C. butyricum (1×109 cfu/g): 0mgg-1 feed (Control), 100mgg-1 feed (CB-100), 200mgg-1 feed (CB-200) as treatment groups. The results indicated that dietary supplementation of C. butyricum increased the growth performance and decreased the feed conversion rate (FCR) of shrimp in the CB-100 group. HE stain showed that C. butyricum increased the intestine epithelium height of M. japonicus. C. butyricum supplemented in diets decreased·O2- generation capacity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and increased total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activity and the expression level of heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and metallothionein (mt) gene in intestine of shrimp cultured under normal condition for 56 d, while no significant changes in glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and ferritin gene expression level. After shrimp exposed to high temperature stress 48h, the lower level of·O2- generation capacity and MDA content, and the higher level survival, activities of T-AOC, CAT, GPx and POD, as well as hsp70, ferritin and mt gene expression level were found in intestine of two C. butyricum groups. These results revealed that C. butyricum could improve the growth performance, increase intestine antioxidant capacity of M. japonicus against high temperature stress, and could be a potential feed additive in shrimp aquaculture.

Abstract
A 45-day feeding trial followed by an acute stress test of low salinity was done to evaluate effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance and anti-stress capability of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Shrimp were randomly allocated in 15 tanks (100 shrimp per tank) and divided into 5 treatments with 3 replicates. Triplicate tanks were fed with a control diet or diets containing different treatments of L. plantarum (fermentation supernatant (FS), live bacteria (LB), dead bacteria (DB) and cell-free extract (CE) of L. plantarum) as treatment groups. Growth performance including weight gain (WGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate (SGR) were determined after feeding 45 days. Anti-stress capacity was evaluated by determining the gene expression of ProPO, SOD and Lys in gut of shrimp at the end of feeding trial and again at 96 h post-stress test. Results indicated that supplementation of L. plantarum into diet had significantly improved growth performance of L. vannamei. On the other hand, L. plantarum supplementation had no significant effects on the gene expression of SOD and Lys in gut of shrimp cultured under normal condition for 45 days. Supplementation of L. plantarum had increased survivability of L. vannamei having higher survival rates compared to the control group. However, statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the control group and treatments. Compared with the control group, supplementation of L. plantarum significantly improved the resistance of L. vannamei against the stress of acute low salinity, as indicated by higher survival rate as well as higher transcript levels of ProPo, SOD and Lys gene. Our findings suggested that L. plantarum, especially cell-free extract of L. plantarum has improved the anti-stress capacity of L. vannamei and could serve as a potential feed additive that helps shrimp to overcome environmental stresses.

Abstract
In the present study, the oxidative stress and antioxidant response in hepatopancreas of the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon under desiccation stress were studied, such as activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx and POD), oxidative damage to lipid and protein which indexed by contents of LPO, MDA, protein carbonyl (PC) and ROS production, and the expression of HSP70 and ferritin gene. The duration of desiccation significantly influenced the shrimp survival, and the mortality rates were 10% and 55.0% after desiccation 0.5 h and 3 h, respectively. Compared with the control group, after exposed to desiccation stress, the content of LPO, MDA, PC and ROS production in hepatopancreas increased significantly. SOD, CAT and POD activity in hepatopancreas increased significantly at 0.5 h, but decreased markedly at 1 h. GPx activity in hepatopancreas increased significantly at 0.5 h and 1 h, then decreased significantly at 3 h. The transcript levels of HSP70 and ferritin gene in hepatopancreas increased significantly at 1 h. HE staining showed that desiccation induced damage symptoms in hepatopancreas of P. monodon. These results revealed that desiccation could induce oxidative stress and antioxidant response via confusion of antioxidant enzymes activity and gene transcript level in hepatopancreas of P. monodon, and the time of shrimp under desiccation should lower than 0.5 h.

Abstract
Holothuria scabra is the most valued and cultured tropical sea cucumber, given the great demand of this species for human consumption. However, despite its ecological and economic relevance, little is known regarding its immune responses under thermal stress. Here, the main goal was to study the response of sea cucumbers to temperature stress, assessing sub-organismal alterations and acclimation capacities of juveniles to temperature changes. After changing temperature (1 °C/day) for 6 days, organisms were exposed to temperature conditions of 21 °C (cold), 27 °C (control), and 33 °C (warm) over a 30 day period. At each 15-day interval (T0, T15, and T30), six replicates per condition were killed for biochemical analysis. Immune responses were addressed by studying the activity of phenoloxidase (PO) and prophenoloxidase (ProPO) in the coelomic fluid. Antioxidant defence responses-catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione reductase (GR) enzymatic activities-were measured in the muscle and respiratory tree tissues, whereas oxidative damage was evaluated by measuring levels of superoxide radicals (ROS), DNA-strand breaks and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Juvenile H. scabra increased SOD and PO activities when temperature was elevated, and revealed low levels of ROS and damage in both cold and warm treatments throughout the experiment, confirming the organism's moderate thermal stress. After the short acclimation period, the immune and antioxidant responses prevented damage and maintained homeostasis. This multi-biomarker approach highlights its usefulness to monitor the health of H. scabra and to gain insight concerning the use of this high-valued species in global-scale aquaculture from different temperature regions.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2016; 49:91-99. [PMID: 26700171 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2015.12.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2015] [Revised: 12/06/2015] [Accepted: 12/12/2015] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, the oxidative stress response in hepatopancreas of Marsupenaeus japonicus to desiccation stress and resubmersed in seawater were studied, such as respiratory burst, ROS production ( [Formula: see text] ), activities of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GPx, SOD, POD and GST) and oxidative damage to lipid and protein (indexed by contents of MDA). The duration of desiccation significantly influenced shrimp survival, and the mortality rates were 37.5% and 87.5% after desiccation 5 h and 10 h, respectively. After desiccation stress 3 h, the respiratory burst, ROS production, and the activity of SOD and CAT were up-regulated significantly. The activity of GPx and POD, and the content of MDA decreased significantly at 0.5 h and 1 h, and then increased significantly at 3 h. But GST activity was no significant change after desiccation. During the resubmersion period, most of the antioxidant enzymes activities could recover to the control level at 24 h, but a small quantity of the oxidative stress still existed in tissues. HE staining showed that desiccation stress induced damage symptoms in hepatopancreas of M. japonicus. These results revealed that desiccation influenced the antioxidative status and caused oxidative stress and tissue damage via confusion of antioxidant enzymes in M. japonicus, but the oxidative stress could be eliminated within a certain range after the shrimps were resubmersed in seawater.

Abstract
The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, has a key position in the Southern Ocean food web by serving as direct link between primary producers and apex predators. The south-west Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, where the majority of the krill population is located, is experiencing one of the most profound environmental changes worldwide. Up to now, we have only cursory information about krill’s genomic plasticity to cope with the ongoing environmental changes induced by anthropogenic CO2 emission. The genome of krill is not yet available due to its large size (about 48 Gbp). Here, we present two cDNA normalized libraries from whole krill and krill heads sampled in different seasons that were combined with two data sets of krill transcriptome projects, already published, to produce the first knowledgebase krill ‘master’ transcriptome. The new library produced 25% more E. superba transcripts and now includes nearly all the enzymes involved in the primary oxidative metabolism (Glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation) as well as all genes involved in glycogenesis, glycogen breakdown, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and fatty acids β-oxidation. With these features, the ‘master’ transcriptome provides the most complete picture of metabolic pathways in Antarctic krill and will provide a major resource for future physiological and molecular studies. This will be particularly valuable for characterizing the molecular networks that respond to stressors caused by the anthropogenic CO2 emissions and krill’s capacity to cope with the ongoing environmental changes in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean.

Abstract
Terrestrial snails which live under dry and hot conditions need efficient mechanisms of adaptation to counteract the problems of desiccation and over-heating. A profoundly heat tolerant snail species is the Mediterranean Xeropicta derbentina, exhibiting different shell colour morphs ranging from pale white to darkly banded. Considering that dark-pigmented snails are believed to have a disadvantage due to faster heating, we investigated possible differences in the stress markers Hsp70 and lipid peroxideation between four pre-defined colour morphs which were exposed to different temperatures for eight hours. The highest Hsp70 levels were observed in response to 38-40 °C. Levels decreased when this temperature was exceeded. Snails of a pre-defined colour category 3 (with a large black band at the umbilicus side of the shell) showed the most prominent Hsp70 response. Lipid peroxideation levels also showed a maximum at 38 °C but displayed a second peak at rather high temperatures at which the Hsp70 level already had decreased (45-48 °C). Particularly pure white snails (category 1) and the most pigmented ones (category 4) were found to have different levels of lipid peroxidation at 38 °C and 45 °C compared to the other morphs. A hypothesis involving a combined two-phase defence mechanism, to which both, the Hsp70 protection system and the antioxidant defence system, may contribute, is discussed.

Abstract
To understand the function of HSP70 of Labeo rohita (LrHSP70) in cellular protection, LrHSP70 ORF cDNA was inserted into the plasmid of pET-32a(+) or pEGFP-L1. Then, the recombinant plasmids were transformed or transfected into Escherichia coli cells, mouse myeloma cells (MPC-11) or fish hepatoma cells (PLHC-1). Western blot results revealed that LrHSP70 was expressed in E. coli cells and molecular weight was estimated to be 70 kDa. In cells, LrHSP70 was over-expressed following thermal or cold stress. Results revealed that LrHSP70 protected prokaryotic cells against thermal or cold extremes as well as played the same role in MPC-11 and PLHC-1 cells. After heat treatment at 42 °C for 1 h, the viability of the cell was declined considerably. PLHC-1 cells with pEGFP-L1/LrHSP70 exhibited a higher survival rate (50%) than wild-type cells (18%) or cells with only pEGFP-L1 (21.2%). When the time lag extended to 2 h, the survival rates were 30%, 3.4% and 5.3% respectively. The present study revealed that LrHSP70 plays an important role in response to thermal and cold stress in fish.
