Abstract
This study used berberine hydrochloride to treat the Asian paddle crab, Charybdis japonica infected with the Gram-negative bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila at concentrations of 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg/L. The effect of berberine hydrochloride on the survival rate and gut microbiota of C. japonica was investigated. Berberine hydrochloride improved the stability of the intestinal flora, with an increase in the abundance of probiotic species and a decrease in the abundance of both pathogenic bacteria after treatment with high concentrations of berberine hydrochloride. Berberine hydrochloride altered peroxidase activity (POD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the intestinal tract compared to the control. Berberine hydrochloride could modulate the energy released from the enzyme activities of hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), and pyruvate kinase (PK) in the intestinal tract of C. japonica infected with A. hydrophila. Zona occludens 1 (ZO-1), Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1), occludin and signal transducer, and activator of transcription5b (STAT5b) expression were also increased, which improved intestinal barrier function. The results of this study provide new insights into the role of berberine hydrochloride in intestinal immune mechanisms and oxidative stress in crustaceans.

Metabolomics and microbiome co-analysis reveals altered innate immune responses in Charybdis japonica following Aeromonas hydrophila infection. COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2024; 50:101240. [PMID: 38718732 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2024.101240] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024]
Abstract
A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was conducted to elucidate the innate immune response of Charybdis japonica following exposure to Aeromonas hydrophila. This study integrated metabolomics, 16S rRNA sequencing, and enzymatic activity data to dissect the immune mechanisms activated in response to infection. Infection with A. hydrophila resulted in an increased abundance of beneficial intestinal genera such as Photobacterium spp., Rhodobacter spp., Polaribacter spp., Psychrilyobacter spp., and Mesoflavibacter spp. These probiotics appear to suppress A. hydrophila colonization by competitively dominating the intestinal microbiota. Key metabolic pathways affected included fatty acid biosynthesis, galactose metabolism, and nitrogen metabolism, highlighting their role in the crab's intestinal response. Enzymatic analysis revealed a decrease in activities of hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase, which are essential for energy homeostasis and ATP production necessary for stress responses. Additionally, reductions were observed in the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase. Gene expression analysis showed downregulation in Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1), Peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH), with concurrent increases in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, indicating severe oxidative stress. This study provides insights into the molecular strategies employed by marine crabs to counteract bacterial invasions in their natural habitat.

Integration of microbiome and Koch's postulates to reveal multiple bacterial pathogens of whitish muscle syndrome in mud crab, Scylla paramamosain. MICROBIOME 2023; 11:155. [PMID: 37475003 PMCID: PMC10357871 DOI: 10.1186/s40168-023-01570-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND For more than a century, the Koch's postulates have been the golden rule for determining the causative agents in diseases. However, in cases of multiple pathogens-one disease, in which different pathogens can cause the same disease, the selection of microorganisms that regress infection is hard when Koch's postulates are applied. Microbiome approaches can obtain relatively complete information about disease-related microorganisms and can guide the selection of target microorganisms for regression infection. In the present study, whitish muscle syndrome (WMS) of Scylla paramamosain, which has typical symptoms with whitish muscle and blackened hemolymph was used as an example to establish a new research strategy that integrates microbiome approaches and Koch's postulates to determinate causative agents of multiple pathogens-one disease. RESULTS Microbiome results revealed that Aeromonas, Acinetobacter, Shewanella, Chryseomicrobium, Exiguobacterium, Vibrio and Flavobacterium, and Kurtzmaniella in hemolymph were bacterial and fungal indicators for WMS. A total of 23 bacteria and 14 fungi were isolated from hemolymph and muscle tissues, and among the bacteria, Shewanella chilikensis, S. xiamenensis, Vibrio alginolyticus, S. putrefaciens, V. fluvialis, and V. parahaemolyticus were present in hemolymph and/or muscle tissues in each WMS crab, and the last three species were also present in three Healthy crabs. The target bacteria and fungi were further screened to regression infections based on two criteria: whether they belonged to the indicator genera for WMS, whether they were isolated from both hemolymph and muscle tissues in most WMS crabs. Only S. chilikensis, S. putrefaciens, S. xiamenensis, V. alginolyticus, V. fluvialis, and V. parahaemolyticus met both two criteria. The six bacteria that met both two criteria and six fungi and another bacterium that unmatched any of two criteria were used to perform regression infection experiments based on Koch's postulates. S. chilikensis, S. putrefaciens, S. xiamenensis, V. alginolyticus, V. fluvialis, and V. parahaemolyticus met both two criteria, and the results indicate that they cause WMS in crabs independently. CONCLUSIONS This study fully demonstrated that our research strategy that integrates the microbiome and Koch's postulates can maximize the ability to catch pathogens in one net for the situation of multiple pathogens-one disease.

Abstract
The orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) is a high economic value aquacultural fish in China, however, it often suffers from the outbreak of parasitic ciliate Cryptocaryon irritans as well as bacterium Vibrio harveyi which bring great loss in grouper farming. In the present study, we established a high dose C. irritans local-infected model which caused the mortality of groupers which showed low vitality and histopathological analysis demonstrated inflammatory response and degeneration in infected skin, gill and liver. In addition, gene expression of inflammatory cytokines was detected to assist the estimate of inflammatory response. Furthermore, we also found that the activity of Na+/K+ ATPase in gill was decreased in groupers infected C. irritans and the concentration of Na+/Cl- in blood were varied. Base on the morbidity symptom occurring in noninfected organs, we hypothesized that the result of morbidity and mortality were due to secondary bacterial infection post parasitism of C. irritans. Moreover, four strains of bacteria were isolated from the infected site skin and liver of local-infected groupers which were identified as V. harveyi in accordance of phenotypic traits, biochemical characterization and molecular analysis of 16S rDNA genes, housekeeping genes (gyrB and cpn60) and species-specific gene Vhhp2. Regression tests of injecting the isolated strain V. harveyi has showed high pathogenicity to groupers. In conclusion, these findings provide the evidence of coinfections with C. irritans and V. harveyi in orange-spotted grouper.

Abstract
Bacteria fromthe Vibriogenus are autochthonous to aquatic environments and ubiquitous in aquaculture production systems. Many Vibrio species are non-pathogenic and can be commonly found in healthy farmed aquatic animals. However, some Vibrio species and strains are pathogenic leading to a variety of 'vibriosis' diseases. These diseases can have a significant negative impact on animal production, including farmed crustaceans such as shrimps, lobsters, and crabs. As such, vibriosis can pose a threat to meeting growing food demand and global food security. Preventive management is essential to avoid the onset of vibriosis. This includes a robust health management plan, the use of prophylaxis and treatment measures, and enhancing animal health through nutrition. Furthermore, the use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, quorum sensing disruption, green water, biofloc, bacteriophages, and immune priming could also play a role in preventing and controlling a vibriosis outbreak. This review aims to inform and update the reader about the current state of knowledge about Vibrio and associated vibriosis in farmed crustaceans (i.e. shrimp, lobster, and crabs). Furthermore, the review will identify potential knowledge gaps in the literature, which serves as a basis for future research priorities.
