Zhou Y, Yu Y, Gong X, Tan Z, Guo M, Geng Q, Li F. Effects of perfluorooctanoic acid on the nutritional quality of Mytilus edulis. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 203:116427. [PMID: 38735169 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2024.116427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which widely presents in marine environment, may produce some adverse effects to aquatic organism. Mytilus edulis are popular due to their high protein and low fat content in China. However, few studies have investigated the effects of PFOA on the quality of aquatic products. Here, PFOA effects on basic nutritional indices in M. edulis were measured, and possible mechanisms were explored. PFOA caused clear variation in physiological and biochemical indices of M. edulis. The contents of some important proteins, nutrients, and amino acids etc. dropped. Integrating metabolomics data, we speculate PFOA exposure triggered inflammation and oxidative stress in mussels, interfered with the metabolic pathways related to the quality and the transport and absorption pathways of metal ions, and affected the levels of some important elements and metabolites, thus decreasing the nutritional quality of M. edulis. The study provides new insights into PFOA adverse effects to marine organism, and may offer some references for some researchers to assess food quality and ecological risk to pollutants.

Feng R, Feng D, Wang L, Zhang L, Liu C, Ma F, Zhang M, Yu M, Jiang H, Qiao Z, Lu R, Wang L. Comparative Analysis of Nutritional Quality, Serum Biochemical Indices, and Visceral Peritoneum of Grass Carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idellus) Fed with Two Distinct Aquaculture Systems. Foods 2024; 13:1248. [PMID: 38672919 PMCID: PMC11049102 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study scrutinized the nutritional quality and serum biochemical indices of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) cultivated in traditional pond intercropping (TPI) and in-pond raceway system (IPRS) aquaculture setups. The findings showed that the TPI group exhibited a superior water-holding capacity, while the IPRS showcased heightened crude lipid content and levels of textural properties such as springiness. Moreover, significant differences emerged in the fatty acid profiles, with the TPI group manifesting higher total polyunsaturated fatty acids (ΣPUFAs), EPA, DHA, and Σn-3, while the IPRS group exhibited elevated total saturated fatty acids (ΣSFAs). In terms of amino acids, valine and histidine levels were notably higher in the IPRS group, whereas lysine levels were reduced. Volatile compound analysis revealed significant variations, with the IPRS group containing more volatile substances with a better aroma, resulting in a better odor. The IPRS group performed better in serum biochemistry analysis. Additionally, grass carp in the IPRS group displayed an improved structure and greater coverage area of the visceral peritoneum, appearing lighter in color compared to the TPI group. TPI mainly influences nutritional elements; IPRSs primarily affect muscle texture, serum biochemistry, and overall health. This study aims to fill the gap in quality comparison research and provide an important scientific basis.

Dietary Paper Mulberry Silage Supplementation Improves the Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, and Meat Quality of Yangzhou Goose. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:359. [PMID: 38338002 PMCID: PMC10854908 DOI: 10.3390/ani14030359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
There have been few investigations into the health benefits and meat quality of supplementing Yangzhou geese with paper mulberry silage. One hundred and twenty 28-day-old Yangzhou geese were selected for the experiment and randomly divided into two groups: a control group (CON) and a paper mulberry silage group (PM), with six replicates in each group. The experiment lasted for a total of 6 weeks. The experiment found that compared with CON, PM had a promoting effect on the average daily weight gain of Yangzhou geese (p = 0.056). Sensory and nutritional analysis of breast muscles revealed a decrease in a* value (p < 0.05) and an increase in protein content (p < 0.05) following PM treatment. Through untargeted metabolomics analysis of breast muscle samples, it was found that 11 different metabolites, including guanidinoacetic acid and other substances, had a positive effect on amino acid metabolism and lipid antioxidant pathways of PM treatment. Overall, the strategy of feeding Yangzhou geese with paper mulberry silage is feasible, which can improve the sensory quality and nutritional value of goose meat. The experiment provides basic data for the application form of goose breeding, so exploring the impact of substances within paper mulberry on goose meat should be focused on in the future.

Microb Pathog 2024; 186:106502. [PMID: 38103581 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2023.106502] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Starvation stress can profoundly impact various physiological parameters in fish, including metabolism, behavior, meat quality, and reproduction. However, the repercussions of starvation on the intestinal microbiota of grass carp remain under-explored. This research aimed to elucidate the effects of a 28-day starvation period on the composition of the intestinal microbiota of grass carp. Tissue pathology assessments revealed significant alterations in the dimensions of intestinal villi in the foregut, midgut, and hindgut as compared to the controls. Specifically, dominant differences appeared in both the length and width of the villi. Moreover, a marked decline in the goblet cell population was observed across all the intestinal segments. 16S rDNA sequencing was used to investigate changes in the gut microbiota, which revealed distinct clustering patterns among the starved and control groups. While α diversity metrics remained consistent for the anterior intestine, significant deviations were recorded in the Shannon (midgut: ***P < 0.001; hindgut: *P < 0.05) and Simpson indices (midgut and hindgut: ***P < 0.001), demonstrating alterations in microbial richness and evenness. At the phylum level, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Fusobacteria emerged as dominant groups post-starvation. Other bacterial taxa, such as Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia, decreased, whereas Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes showed a small increase. In summation, starvation induces considerable morphological and microbial shifts in the grass carp intestine, and thus, this study offers valuable insights into their cultivation strategies.

Identification of metabolites generated in the biotransformation process by the Danio rerio (zebrafish) exposed to the fungicide tebuconazole. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 265:106770.

Abstract
Tebuconazole is a triazole fungicide widely used in agricultural crops for control of multiple fungal, mainly foliar and soil-borne diseases. Due to its intense use, this pesticide has been detected on aquatic matrices in different countries, which makes it necessary to identify metabolites capable to be used in its exposure monitoring. The aim of this work was to evaluate tebuconazole metabolites in zebrafish water tanks using liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometer (LCHRMS) to highlight analytical targets to monitor tebuconazole exposure in aquatic environments. Two Phase I metabolites, TEB-OH and TEB-COOH, and one Phase II metabolite, TEB-S, were identified. Target metabolomics pointed TEB-S as the most important metabolite for discrimination between treatment and negative control group and potential surrogate for detection and monitoring of tebuconazole exposure in aquatic environments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to suggest the sulphation of tebuconazole (TEB-S) by zebrafish metabolism. Moreover, the use of water samples proved to be a promising approach when compared to the usual biological matrices (e.g. plasma) for evaluating the exposure of aquatic animals to tebuconazole because it is a clean and easy to obtain matrix. Water samples presented a higher concentration of metabolites when compared to plasma samples. The results suggest the applicability of this assay model for the identification of potential biomarkers for monitoring the presence of xenobiotics in water.

Abstract
The current study aims to confirm the positive effects of dietary nano-Se on nutrients deposition and muscle fibre formation in grass carp fed with high-fat diet (HFD) before overwintering and to reveal its possible molecular mechanism. The lipid deposition, protein synthesis and muscle fibre formation in grass carp fed with regular diet (RD), HFD or HFD supplemented with nano-Se (0·3 or 0·6 mg/kg) for 60 d were tested. Results show that nano-Se significantly reduced lipid content, dripping loss and fibre diameter (P < 0·05), but increased protein content, post-mortem pH24 h and muscle fibre density (P < 0·05) in muscle of grass carp fed with HFD. Notably, dietary nano-Se decreased lipid deposition in the muscle by regulating amp-activated protein kinase activity and increased protein synthesis and fibre formation in muscle by activating target of rapamycin and myogenic determining factors pathways. In summary, dietary nano-Se can regulate the nutrients deposition and muscle fibre formation in grass carp fed with HFD, which exhibit potential benefit for improving flesh quality of grass carp fed with HFD.

ANIMAL NUTRITION (ZHONGGUO XU MU SHOU YI XUE HUI) 2023; 14:425-449. [PMID: 37649678 PMCID: PMC10463206 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2023.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
A 90-day feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) as a replacement for soybean meal (SM) on growth performance and flesh quality of grass carp. A total of 420 grass carp (299.93 ± 0.85 g) were randomly divided into 7 groups (triplicate) and fed 7 diets with SM substitution of 0% (SM, control), 15% (BSFLM15), 30% (BSFLM30), 45% (BSFLM45), 60% (BSFLM60), 75% (BSFLM75) and 100% (BSFLM100) by BSFLM. The growth performance of grass carp in the BSFLM75 and BSFLM100 groups were significantly lower compared to other groups (P < 0.05). The mid-gut villus height was the lowest in the BSFLM100 group (P < 0.05). Muscle nutritional value was improved due to increased DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), total HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acids) and glycine levels, and reached the optimum in the BSFLM100 group (P < 0.05). According to the results of principal component analysis and weight analysis of muscle texture and body color, all the BSFLM diets except BSFLM15 could improve muscle texture and body color and reached the optimum level in the BSFLM100 group. Muscle drip loss and hypoxanthine content were the lowest and muscle antioxidant capacity was the highest in the BSFLM75 group, and water- and salt-soluble protein contents reached the optimum level in the BSFLM60 group (P < 0.05). Dietary BSFLM significantly reduced muscle fiber area and diameter, and increased muscle fiber density and the proportion of small fiber (diameter <20 μm) (P < 0.05). Additionally, sarcomere lengths in the BSFLM75 and BSFLM100 groups were significantly higher than that in the SM group (P < 0.05). The mRNA relative expression levels of MyoD, Myf5, MyHC and FGF6b were remarkably up-regulated at an appropriate dietary BSFLM level (P < 0.05). In conclusion, BSFLM could replace up to 60% SM without an adverse effect on growth performance and improve the flesh quality of grass carp. The optimum levels of dietary BSFLM were 71.0 and 69.1 g/kg diet based on the final body weight and feed conversion ratio. The flesh quality was optimal when dietary SM was completely replaced with BSFLM (227 g/kg diet).

Abstract
The main aim of the current work was to explore the differential metabolites and differentially expressed genes of longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) between castrated and uncastrated fattening male South Sichuan black goats (Capra hircus). Then, the key genes regulating important differential metabolites (DMs) in castrated male goats were observed by integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses. In addition, we evaluated the effects of castration on blood constituents, dressing percentage, and water holding capacity of LDM in male black goats. The results showed that the concentrations of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly increased and testosterone was significantly decreased in castrated male goats compared with the uncastrated male goats, while dressing percentage of black goats and water holding capacity of longissimus dorsi muscle were not significant differences. Through metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses, 23 important KEGG pathways, 13 important DMs, 32 important differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and 13 key genes related to the "Metabolism" and "Organismal systems" pathways were screened. Lipid accumulation may be elevated in the blood of fattening South Sichuan black goats after castration. Castration might play a positive role in energy provision, intercellular signaling, muscle function, softening of meat, disease reduction, and anti-oxidation of LDM. P4HA2, AKR1B1, GPT2, L2HGDH, ENSCHIG00000021660, ENSCHIG00000023861, DGAT2, ULK1, SLC38A3, PLA2G4A, SLC6A1, ENSCHIG00000026624, and ND2 might be the key genes regulating important DMs in the KEGG pathways related to "Metabolism" and "Organismal systems" of castrated male goats compared with the uncastrated male goats.

Abstract
Organic selenium has been widely studied as a nutritional supplement for animal feed. However, there are few studies on the effect of organic selenium on flesh quality. In this study, the effects of organic selenium (yeast selenium (YS), Se 0.002 mg/L) on the metabolism and protein expression in Micropterus salmoides muscle under temporary fasting condition (6 weeks) were investigated. The muscle structure was observed through a microscope, and regulatory pathways were analyzed using proteomics and metabolomics methods. Electron microscopy showed that YS made the muscle fibers of M. salmoides more closely aligned. Differential analysis identified 523 lipid molecules and 268 proteins. The numbers of upregulated and downregulated proteins were 178 and 90, respectively, including metabolism (46.15%), cytoskeleton (11.24%) and immune oxidative stress (9.47%), etc. Integrated analyses revealed that YS enhanced muscle glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation metabolism. In the YS group, the content of eicosapentaenoic acid was increased, and that of docosahexaenoic acid was decreased. YS slowed down protein degradation by downregulating ubiquitin and ubiquitin ligase expression. These results suggest that organic selenium can improve M. salmoides muscle quality through the aforementioned pathways, which provides potential insights into the improvement of the quality of aquatic products, especially fish.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitrogen is a macronutrient element for plant growth and development. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as pivotal regulators for the coordination between nutrient supply and plant demand. Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is an excellent plant with fast growth, and the mechanism of the circRNA-target module in response to nitrogen remains unclear. RESULTS Deep small RNA sequencing results of moso bamboo seedlings under different concentrations of KNO3 (N0 = 0 mM, N6 = 6 mM, N18 = 18 mM) were used to identify circRNAs. A total of 549 circRNAs were obtained, of which 309 were generated from corresponding parental coding genes including 66 new ones. A total of 536 circRNA-parent genes were unevenly distributed in 24 scaffolds and were associated with root growth and development. Furthermore, 52 differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) were obtained, including 24, 33 and 15 DECs from three comparisons of N0 vs. N6, N0 vs. N18 and N6 vs. N18, respectively. Based on integrative analyses of the identified DECs, differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs), and miRNAs (DEMs), a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed, including five DECs, eight DEMs and 32 DEGs. A regulatory module of PeSca_6:12,316,320|12,372,905-novel_miR156-PH02Gene35622 was further verified by qPCR and dual-luciferase reporter assays. CONCLUSION The results indicated that circRNAs could participate in multiple biological processes as miRNA sponges, including organ nitrogen compound biosynthesis and metabolic process regulation in moso bamboo. Our results provide valuable information for further study of circRNAs in moso bamboo under fluctuating nitrogen conditions.

Abstract
Carbendazim is a systemic fungicide used in several countries, particularly in Brazil. However, studies suggest that it is related to the promotion of tumors, endocrine disruption, and toxicity to organisms, among other effects. As a result, carbendazim is not allowed in the United States, Australia, and some European Union countries. Therefore, further studies are necessary to evaluate its effects, and zebrafish is a model routinely used to provide relevant information regarding the acute and long-term effects of xenobiotics. In this way, zebrafish water tank samples (water samples from aquari containing zebrafish) and liver samples from animals exposed to carbendazim at a concentration of 120 μg/L were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry, followed by multivariate and univariate statistical analyses, using the metabolomics approach. Our results suggest impairment of lipid metabolism with a consequent increase in intrahepatic lipids and endocrine disruption. Furthermore, the results suggest two endogenous metabolites as potential biomarkers to determine carbendazim exposure. Finally, the present study showed that it is possible to use zebrafish water tank samples to assess the dysregulation of endogenous metabolites to understand biological effects.

Abstract
Background Orphan gene play an important role in the environmental stresses of many species and their identification is a critical step to understand biological functions. Moso bamboo has high ecological, economic and cultural value. Studies have shown that the growth of moso bamboo is influenced by various stresses. Several traditional methods are time-consuming and inefficient. Hence, the development of efficient and high-accuracy computational methods for predicting orphan genes is of great significance. Results In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning model (CNN + Transformer) for identifying orphan genes in moso bamboo. It uses a convolutional neural network in combination with a transformer neural network to capture k-mer amino acids and features between k-mer amino acids in protein sequences. The experimental results show that the average balance accuracy value of CNN + Transformer on moso bamboo dataset can reach 0.875, and the average Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) value can reach 0.471. For the same testing set, the Balance Accuracy (BA), Geometric Mean (GM), Bookmaker Informedness (BM), and MCC values of the recurrent neural network, long short-term memory, gated recurrent unit, and transformer models are all lower than those of CNN + Transformer, which indicated that the model has the extensive ability for OG identification in moso bamboo. Conclusions CNN + Transformer model is feasible and obtains the credible predictive results. It may also provide valuable references for other related research. As our knowledge, this is the first model to adopt the deep learning techniques for identifying orphan genes in plants.

Identification and expression analysis of the glycosyltransferase GT43 family members in bamboo reveal their potential function in xylan biosynthesis during rapid growth. BMC Genomics 2021; 22:867. [PMID: 34856932 PMCID: PMC8638195 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-08192-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Xylan is one of the most abundant hemicelluloses and can crosslink cellulose and lignin to increase the stability of cell walls. A number of genes encoding glycosyltransferases play vital roles in xylan biosynthesis in plants, such as those of the GT43 family. However, little is known about glycosyltransferases in bamboo, especially woody bamboo which is a good substitute for timber. Results A total of 17 GT43 genes (PeGT43–1 ~ PeGT43–17) were identified in the genome of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), which belong to three subfamilies with specific motifs. The phylogenetic and collinearity analyses showed that PeGT43s may have undergone gene duplication, as a result of collinearity found in 12 pairs of PeGT43s, and between 17 PeGT43s and 10 OsGT43s. A set of cis-acting elements such as hormones, abiotic stress response and MYB binding elements were found in the promoter of PeGT43s. PeGT43s were expressed differently in 26 tissues, among which the highest expression level was found in the shoots, especially in the rapid elongation zone and nodes. The genes coexpressed with PeGT43s were annotated as associated with polysaccharide metabolism and cell wall biosynthesis. qRT–PCR results showed that the coexpressed genes had similar expression patterns with a significant increase in 4.0 m shoots and a peak in 6.0 m shoots during fast growth. In addition, the xylan content and structural polysaccharide staining intensity in bamboo shoots showed a strong positive correlation with the expression of PeGT43s. Yeast one-hybrid assays demonstrated that PeMYB35 could recognize the 5′ UTR/promoter of PeGT43–5 by binding to the SMRE cis-elements. Conclusions PeGT43s were found to be adapted to the requirement of xylan biosynthesis during rapid cell elongation and cell wall accumulation, as evidenced by the expression profile of PeGT43s and the rate of xylan accumulation in bamboo shoots. Yeast one-hybrid analysis suggested that PeMYB35 might be involved in xylan biosynthesis by regulating the expression of PeGT43–5 by binding to its 5′ UTR/promoter. Our study provides a comprehensive understanding of PeGT43s in moso bamboo and lays a foundation for further functional analysis of PeGT43s for xylan biosynthesis during rapid growth.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism disorders are found ubiquitously in farmed fish and occur as a result of excessive fat accumulation. Previous studies have found that miR-33 is involved in lipid metabolism; however, its role in fish lipid metabolism is unclear. We sought to clarify this relationship in grass carp in vivo and in vitro. Our findings revealed the length of miR-33 to be 65 bp. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that grass carp miR-33 was most closely related to fish miR-33 (Siganus canaliculatus). Hepatocytes transfected with miR-33 mimic displayed markedly raised TG content (P < 0.05) as well as increased levels of lipid synthesis-related transcription factors (P < 0.05). Compared with blank and saline groups, total serum cholesterol, AST, and LDL levels were suppressed in groups treated with the miR-33 antagomir (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression levels of PPARγ and SREBP-1c mRNA were significantly decreased in contrast to those found in the control group (P < 0.05). Similar findings were noted in the expression of immune-related proinflammatory molecules (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and NF-κB), which also demonstrated decreased levels (P < 0.05). Conversely, high expressions of anti-inflammatory factors (TGF-β1 and IL-10) were noted (P < 0.05). This investigation strongly supports the role of miR-33 in hepatopancreas-based lipid metabolism and immunity. miR-33 may have been highly conserved in early vertebrates in order to facilitate liver-specific metabolic and immunomodulatory functions. Our findings provide a basis for further investigations exploring the mechanisms surrounding fish lipid metabolism and may aid in preventing and treating immunocompromised fish as well as fish with fatty hepatopancreas, and other metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is an important aquaculture species in China that is affected by serious diseases, especially hemorrhagic disease caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV). Grass carp have previously shown age-dependent susceptibility to GCRV, however, the mechanism by which this occurs remains poorly understood. Therefore, we performed transcriptome and metabolome sequencing on five-month-old (FMO) and three-year-old (TYO) grass carp to identify the potential mechanism. Viral challenge experiments showed that FMO fish were susceptible, whereas TYO fish were resistant to GCRV. RNA-seq showed that the genes involved in immune response, antigen presentation, and phagocytosis were significantly upregulated in TYO fish before the GCRV infection and at the early stage of infection. Metabolome sequencing showed that most metabolites were upregulated in TYO fish and downregulated in FMO fish after virus infection. Intragroup analysis showed that arachidonic acid metabolism was the most significantly upregulated pathway in TYO fish, whereas choline metabolism in cancer and glycerophospholispid metabolism were significantly downregulated in FMO fish after virus infection. Intergroup comparison revealed that metabolites from carbohydrate, amino acid, glycerophospholipid, and nucleotide metabolism were upregulated in TYO fish when compared with FMO fish. Moreover, the significantly differentially expressed metabolites showed antiviral effects both in vivo and in vitro. Based on these results, we concluded that the immune system and host biosynthesis and metabolism, can explain the age-dependent viral susceptibility in grass carp.

Zhang XJ, Zhou L, Lu WJ, Du WX, Mi XY, Li Z, Li XY, Wang ZW, Wang Y, Duan M, Gui JF. Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals an association of gibel carp fatty liver with ferroptosis pathway. BMC Genomics 2021; 22:328. [PMID: 33952209 PMCID: PMC8101161 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-07621-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty liver has become a main problem that causes huge economic losses in many aquaculture modes. It is a common physiological or pathological phenomenon in aquaculture, but the causes and occurring mechanism are remaining enigmatic. METHODS Each three liver samples from the control group of allogynogenetic gibel carp with normal liver and the overfeeding group with fatty liver were collected randomly for the detailed comparison of histological structure, lipid accumulation, transcriptomic profile, latent pathway identification analysis (LPIA), marker gene expression, and hepatocyte mitochondria analyses. RESULTS Compared to normal liver, larger hepatocytes and more lipid accumulation were observed in fatty liver. Transcriptomic analysis between fatty liver and normal liver showed a totally different transcriptional trajectory. GO terms and KEGG pathways analyses revealed several enriched pathways in fatty liver, such as lipid biosynthesis, degradation accumulation, peroxidation, or metabolism and redox balance activities. LPIA identified an activated ferroptosis pathway in the fatty liver. qPCR analysis confirmed that gpx4, a negative regulator of ferroptosis, was significantly downregulated while the other three positively regulated marker genes, such as acsl4, tfr1 and gcl, were upregulated in fatty liver. Moreover, the hepatocytes of fatty liver had more condensed mitochondria and some of their outer membranes were almost ruptured. CONCLUSIONS We reveal an association between ferroptosis and fish fatty liver for the first time, suggesting that ferroptosis might be activated in liver fatty. Therefore, the current study provides a clue for future studies on fish fatty liver problems.

Abstract
Biocontrol to combat the menace of Aspergillus flavus has gained considerable attention. However, the molecular mechanisms of A. flavus 's response to antagonism biotic stress are poorly deciphered. Here, we discovered that A. flavus switches an adaptive metabolic reprogramming to ensure its adversity survival by multiomics analyses (including four omics platform). Antifungal "weapons" lipopeptides and antibacterial metabolites of imizoquin were identified. The central metabolism fluxes were significantly depleted but the expressions of most corresponding genes were considerably increased in A. flavus. Secondary metabolism that does not contribute to stress was markedly suppressed. In contrast, A. flavus antibacterial "weapon arsenal" was activated to occupy an ecological niche. Our results revealed that interlinked mitochondrial central metabolism and secondary metabolism are central to A. flavus antagonism biotic stress response. This discovery contributes to the targeted design of biocontrol agents and smart regularization of rhizosphere microbiome homeostasis to realize long-term fungi pathogen control and mitigation mycotoxin contamination.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2021; 43:128068. [PMID: 33915256 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2021.128068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Botanical fungicides are promising replacements for pure chemical synthetic pesticides in agriculture and organic food production. Methylaervine with good physicochemical properties exhibited effective activity against F. solani (EC50 = 10.56 µM) better than the positive control thiophanate-methyl (EC50 = 27.94 µM). The activity changes of malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed that methylaervine could significantly induce lipid peroxidation and activate the antioxidant enzymes. According to the metabolomics analysis, fifty-one differential metabolites and two major antifungal-related pathways covering tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and steroid biosynthesis were identified. Moreover, the disturbance for TCA cycle was validated by the activity changes of dehydrogenase (MDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) as well as docking simulation. Homology modeling and docking study revealed that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions played a vital role in methylaervine-protein stability. This study provided new insight into the antifungal activity of methylaervine, which is important for the development of novel botanical fungicides based on methylaervine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspartic proteases (APs) are a class of aspartic peptidases belonging to nine proteolytic enzyme families whose members are widely distributed in biological organisms. APs play essential functions during plant development and environmental adaptation. However, there are few reports about APs in fast-growing moso bamboo. RESULT In this study, we identified a total of 129 AP proteins (PhAPs) encoded by the moso bamboo genome. Phylogenetic and gene structure analyses showed that these 129 PhAPs could be divided into three categories (categories A, B and C). The PhAP gene family in moso bamboo may have undergone gene expansion, especially the members of categories A and B, although homologs of some members in category C have been lost. The chromosomal location of PhAPs suggested that segmental and tandem duplication events were critical for PhAP gene expansion. Promoter analysis revealed that PhAPs in moso bamboo may be involved in plant development and responses to environmental stress. Furthermore, PhAPs showed tissue-specific expression patterns and may play important roles in rapid growth, including programmed cell death, cell division and elongation, by integrating environmental signals such as light and gibberellin signals. CONCLUSION Comprehensive analysis of the AP gene family in moso bamboo suggests that PhAPs have experienced gene expansion that is distinct from that in rice and may play an important role in moso bamboo organ development and rapid growth. Our results provide a direction and lay a foundation for further analysis of plant AP genes to clarify their function during rapid growth.

Abstract
Bamboo, a fast-growing non-timber forest plant with many uses, is a valuable species for green development. However, bamboo flowering is very infrequent, extending, in general, for up to 120 years. Ecologically, bamboo species are generally better adapted to various environments than other grasses. Therefore, the species deserves a special status in what could be called Ecological Bioeconomy. An understanding of the genetic processes of bamboo can help us sustainably develop and manage bamboo forests. Transposable elements (TEs), jumping genes or transposons, are major genetic elements in plant genomes. The rapid development of the bamboo reference genome, at the chromosome level, reveals that TEs occupy over 63.24% of the genome. This is higher than found in rice, Brachypodium, and sorghum. The bamboo genome contains diverse families of TEs, which play a significant role in bamboo's biological processes including growth and development. TEs provide important clues for understanding the evolution of the bamboo genome. In this chapter, we briefly describe the current status of research on TEs in the bamboo genome, their regulation, and transposition mechanisms. Perspectives for future research are also provided.

Abstract
The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (M. rosenbergii) as an important freshwater aquaculture species with high commercial value, exhibited unsynchronized growth. However, the potentially metabolic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we used liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to investigate the hepatopancreatic metabolic profiles of twenty giant freshwater prawns between the fast-growing group and slow-growing group. In the metabolomics assay, we isolated 8,293 peaks in positive and negative iron mode. Subsequently, 44 significantly differential metabolites were identified. Functional pathway analysis revealed that these metabolites were significantly enriched in three key metabolic pathways. Further integrated analysis indicated that glycerophospholipid metabolism and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis have significant impact on growth performance in M.rosenbergii. Our findings presented here demonstrated the critical metabolites and metabolic pathways involved in growth performance, moreover provided strong evidence for elucidating the potentially metabolic mechanism of the unsynchronized growth in M. rosenbergii.

Abstract
Compared with wild grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), intensively cultured fish displayed disordered lipid metabolism, showing excess lipid deposition in the hepatopancreas and muscle. Lotus leaf prevents fat accumulation in humans and may have similar effects on fish. This study explored the regulatory mechanisms by which the dietary addition of an alcoholic extract of lotus leaf (AELL) reduced lipid deposition in the hepatopancreas and muscle of juvenile grass carp. The fish (average initial weight: 34.00 ± 0.40 g) were fed four experimental diets containing different AELL levels (0, 0.07, 0.14, and 0.21%) for 8 weeks. Serum components, lipid droplet size, triacylglycerol (TAG) content, enzymatic activities, and mRNA levels of genes related to lipid metabolism in the hepatopancreas and muscle were analyzed. The results show that dietary AELL supplementation significantly reduced the TAG content and lipid droplet area in the histological sections as well as the fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity in both the hepatopancreas and muscle but enhanced the activities of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1) in both tissues. In addition, dietary AELL supplementation decreased the mRNA expression of genes involved in fatty acid uptake (cd36, fatp1/fatp4/fatp6, fabp10/fabp11, acsl1/acsl4) and de novo lipid synthesis (pgd, g6pd, and fasn) as well as the transcription factors pparg and srebf1 in the hepatopancreas and muscle but increased the mRNA levels of genes relating to lipid catabolism (cpt1a, lipe, pnpla2, lpl), lipid transportation (apob), and the transcription factor ppara in both tissues. In conclusion, dietary AELL supplementation reduced lipid accumulation in the hepatopancreas and muscle by affecting the gene expression of proteins with known effects on lipid metabolism in juvenile grass carp.

Catalytic degradation mechanism of sulfamethazine via photosynergy of monoclinic BiVO 4and microalgae under visible-light irradiation. WATER RESEARCH 2020; 185:116220. [PMID: 32736282 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 06/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
To improve the efficiency of antibiotic degradation, the photosynergistic performance of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) with a microalga, Dictyosphaerium sp., was demonstrated under visible-light irradiation for the first time. Sulfamethazine (SM2) was selected as a representative sulfanilamide antibiotic, and the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of SM2 was evaluated in media via the BiVO4-algae system. The hydrothermally synthesized sample was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. The results demonstrated that the prepared photocatalyst corresponded to phase-pure monoclinic scheelite BiVO4. The synthesized BiVO4 showed superior photocatalytic properties under irradiation with visible light, and more than 80% of photocatalytic degradation efficiency was obtained by the BiVO4-algae system. Based on quenching experiments, the photocatalytic degradation of SM2 in the BiVO4-algae system was primarily accomplished via the generation of triplet state dissolved organic matter, and hydroxyl radicals played a small role in the degradation process. The direct oxidation of holes made no contribution to the degradation. Metabolomics data showed that a total of 91 metabolites were significantly changed between the two comparison groups (algae-SM2 group vs algae group; algae-BiVO4-SM2 group vs algae-BiVO4 group). The glycometabolism pathways were increased and the tricarboxylic acid cycle was activated when BiVO4 was present. The study provides a distinctive approach to remove antibiotics using visible light in the aqueous environment.

[PMID: 32448144 PMCID: PMC7245953 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-020-02439-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Accepted: 05/10/2020] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The vegetative growth is an important stage for plants when they conduct photosynthesis, accumulate and collect all resources needed and prepare for reproduction stage. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plant species. The rapid growth of Phyllostachys edulis results from the expansion of intercalary meristem at the basal part of nodes, which are differentiated from the apical meristem of rhizome lateral buds. However, little is known about the major signaling pathways and players involved during this rapid development stage of bamboo. To study this question, we adopted the high-throughput sequencing technology and compared the transcriptomes of Moso bamboo rhizome buds in germination stage and late development stage. RESULTS We found that the development of Moso bamboo rhizome lateral buds was coordinated by multiple pathways, including meristem development, sugar metabolism and phytohormone signaling. Phytohormones have fundamental impacts on the plant development. We found the evidence of several major hormones participating in the development of Moso bamboo rhizome lateral bud. Furthermore, we showed direct evidence that Gibberellic Acids (GA) signaling participated in the Moso bamboo stem elongation. CONCLUSION Significant changes occur in various signaling pathways during the development of rhizome lateral buds. It is crucial to understand how these changes are translated to Phyllostachys edulis fast growth. These results expand our knowledge on the Moso bamboo internodes fast growth and provide research basis for further study.

[PMID: 30192945 PMCID: PMC6176498 DOI: 10.1093/gigascience/giy111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2018] [Accepted: 08/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The ultrahigh density intensive farming model of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) may elicit growth inhibition, decrease flesh quality, and increase disease susceptibility of fish. The degradation in quality and excessive fat accumulation in cultured C. idellus have long been attributed to possible alterations in the lipid metabolism of fish muscle tissues as a result of overnutrition from artificial diets. To investigate the effects of different diets on fish muscle quality, a large-scale metabolomics study was performed on 250 tails of C. idellus. Findings The experimental fish were divided into four groups based on sex and diet—female artificial feed (FAF), female grass feed, male artificial feed (MAF), and male grass feed (MGF). After a 113-day rearing period, the artificial feed (AF) group showed a significantly higher total mass of muscle fat (P < 0.01), with the FAF group being the highest. Metabolomics profiling based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed distinctive patterns of clustering according to the four groups. Overall, artificial feeding was associated with higher concentrations of docosapentaenoic acid, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid, whereas grass feeding was associated with elevated n-3 unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid. Artificial feeding also resulted in significant increased docosahexaenoic acid in MAF muscle than in MGF fish, whereas there was no significance in the comparison of female samples. Metabolic pathway analyses using both targeted and untargeted approaches consistently revealed that arachidonic acid metabolism and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathways were significantly different between AF and grass fed groups. Conclusions Our results suggest that grass is a better source of dietary fatty acid and protein when compared to artificial feed. Grass feeding could effectively lower triglycerides in serum, reduce fat accumulation, and alter lipid compositions in fish muscle by increasing the concentrations of n-3 UFAs, leading to better nutrition and health.
