Ocalewicz K. Quality of fish eggs and production of androgenetic and gynogenetic doubled haploids (DHs). FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2023:10.1007/s10695-023-01206-4. [PMID: 37296321 DOI: 10.1007/s10695-023-01206-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Induced development of haploid embryos (H) with only paternal (androgenesis) or maternal (gynogenesis) chromosomes requires irradiation of eggs before fertilization or activation of eggs with irradiated spermatozoa, respectively. To provide doubled haploids (DHs), androgenetic and gynogenetic haploid zygotes need to be subjected to the thermal or high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) shock to suppress the first mitotic cleavage and to double paternal or maternal haploid set of chromosomes. Androgenesis and mitotic gynogenesis (mito-gynogenesis) result in the generation of fully homozygous individuals in a single generation. DHs have been utilized in selective breeding programs, in studies concerning the phenotypic consequences of recessive alleles and to evaluate the impact of sex chromosomes on the early ontogeny. Moreover, the use of DHs for the NGS approach radically improves de novo the assembly of the genomes. However, reduced survival of the doubled haploids limits the wide application of androgenotes and gynogenotes. The high mortality of DHs may be only partly explained by the expression of recessive traits. Observed inter-clutch variation in the survival of DHs developing in eggs originating from different females make it necessary to take a closer look at the quality of the eggs used during induced androgenesis and gynogenesis. Moreover, the developmental competence of eggs that are subjected to irradiation before fertilization in order to deactivate maternal chromosomes when undergoing induced androgenesis and exposed to the physical shock after fertilization that leads to the duplication of the zygotes in both mito-gynogenesis and androgenesis may be also altered as irradiation and sublethal values of temperatures and hydrostatic pressure are considered as harmful for the cell organelles and biomolecules. Here, recently provided results concerning the morphological, biochemical, genomic, and transcriptomic characteristics of fish eggs showing high and low competence for androgenesis and mito-gynogenesis are reviewed.

Abstract
Poor quality eggs produced by the fully homozygous doubled haploids (DHs) may impair generation of clonal lines in fish species. In the present research, gynogenetic development of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was induced in eggs originated from the DH females. Eggs were activated with the UV-irradiated grayling (Thymallus thymallus) spermatozoa and subjected to the high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) shock to provide diploid clonal individuals. Only two of four DH females produced eggs that were successfully activated by the irradiated spermatozoa and subsequently developed into the gynogenetic embryos. Survival rates of rainbow trout from the clonal lines equalled 21.5% and 19.8% during embryogenesis and decreased after hatching to 18.6% and 14.9%, respectively. Some of the dead rainbow trout clones collected between hatching and swim-up stage were emaciated and exhibited spinal deformities including scoliosis. Provided results confirmed limited developmental competences of eggs produced by rainbow trout DH females. Clonal rainbow trout developing in such eggs exhibited reduced survival and increased frequency of the body abnormalities.

Genome incompatibility between rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and sea trout (Salmo trutta) and induction of the interspecies gynogenesis. J Appl Genet 2018; 59:91-97. [PMID: 29313263 DOI: 10.1007/s13353-017-0425-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2017] [Revised: 12/20/2017] [Accepted: 12/21/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) and sea trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) show large karyotypic differences and their hybrid offspring is not viable due to unstable karyotype and chromosome fragmentation. However, gametes from these two species were used to induce gynogenetic development. Rainbow trout eggs activated by UV-irradiated sea trout sperm were subjected to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) shock to prevent release of the 2nd polar body (early shock) or to inhibit the first cleavage (late shock) in order to produce diploid meiotic gynogenotes and gynogenetic doubled haploids (DHs), respectively. Cytogenetic analysis proved fish that development was induced by the sea trout spermatozoa were rainbow trout. In turn, molecular examination confirmed homozygosity of the gynogenetic DHs. Presumed appearance of the recessive alleles resulted in lower survival of the gynogenetic DH larvae (~25%) when compared to survival of the heterozygous (meiotic) gynogenotes (c. 50%). Our results proved that genomic incompatibilities between studied trout species result in the hybrid unviability. However, artificial gynogenesis including activation of rainbow trout eggs with UV-irradiated sea trout spermatozoa was successfully induced. As both species are unable to cross, application of the UV-irradiated sea trout spermatozoa to activate rainbow trout development assures only maternal inheritance with no contamination by the residues of the paternal chromosomes.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2014; 156:52-64. [PMID: 25146236 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2014.07.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2014] [Revised: 07/17/2014] [Accepted: 07/26/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Due to the production of free radicals, gamma radiation may pose a hazard to living organisms. The high-dose radiation effects have been extensively studied, whereas the ecotoxicity data on low-dose gamma radiation is still limited. The present study was therefore performed using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to characterize effects of low-dose (15, 70 and 280 mGy) gamma radiation after short-term (48h) exposure. Global transcriptional changes were studied using a combination of high-density oligonucleotide microarrays and quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs; in this article the phrase gene expression is taken as a synonym of gene transcription, although it is acknowledged that gene expression can also be regulated, e.g., at protein stability and translational level) were determined and linked to their biological meanings predicted using both Gene Ontology (GO) and mammalian ortholog-based functional analyses. The plasma glucose level was also measured as a general stress biomarker at the organism level. Results from the microarray analysis revealed a dose-dependent pattern of global transcriptional responses, with 222, 495 and 909 DEGs regulated by 15, 70 and 280 mGy gamma radiation, respectively. Among these DEGs, only 34 were commonly regulated by all radiation doses, whereas the majority of differences were dose-specific. No GO functions were identified at low or medium doses, but repression of DEGs associated with GO functions such as DNA replication, cell cycle regulation and response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) were observed after 280mGy gamma exposure. Ortholog-based toxicity pathway analysis further showed that 15mGy radiation affected DEGs associated with cellular signaling and immune response; 70mGy radiation affected cell cycle regulation and DNA damage repair, cellular energy production; and 280mGy radiation affected pathways related to cell cycle regulation and DNA repair, mitochondrial dysfunction and immune functions. Twelve genes representative of key pathways found in this study were verified by qPCR. Potential common MoAs of low-dose gamma radiation may include induction of oxidative stress, DNA damage and disturbance of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Although common MoAs were proposed, a number of DEGs and pathways were still found to be dose-specific, potentially indicating multiple mechanisms of action (MOAs) of low-dose gamma radiation in fish. In addition, plasma glucose displayed an apparent increase with increasing radiation doses, although the results were not significantly different from the control. These findings suggested that sublethal doses of gamma radiation may cause dose-dependent transcriptional changes in the liver of Atlantic salmon after short-term exposure. The current study predicted multiple MoA for gamma radiation and may aid future impact assessment of environmental radioactivity in fish.

Abstract
Connectivity levels among Brazilian reef fish fauna populations have attracted growing interest, mainly between mainland shores and oceanic islands. The Pomacentridae, whose phylogeographic patterns are largely unknown in the Atlantic, are a family of dominant fish in reef regions. We present data on the variability and population structure of damselfish Chromis multilineata in different areas along the northeast coast of Brazil and in the waters around the oceanic islands of Fernando de Noronha (FNA) and Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago (SPSPA) through analysis of the HVR1 mtDNA sequence of the control region. The remote SPSPA exhibits the highest level of genetic divergence among populations. Conventional and molecular cytogenetic analysis showed similar karyotype patterns (2n = 48 acrocentrics) between these insular areas. Our estimates reveal three genetically different population groups of C. multilineata on the Brazilian coast. The level of genetic structure is higher than previous data suggested, indicating complex panel of interactions between the oceanic island and coastal populations of Brazil.

Induction of androgenetic development of the brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis)× Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) hybrids in eggs derived from the parental species. Reprod Biol 2013; 13:105-12.

Abstract
Failure of interspecific androgenesis between brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis, Mitchill 1814) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus, L.) has been attributed to the conflict between the egg cytoplasm of one species and the sperm nucleus of the other species. To overcome this incompatibility, sperm derived from the brook charr×Arctic charr hybrid male was used to induce androgenetic development in eggs originating from the parental species as well as their hybrids. The eggs were subjected to 420Gy of X-radiation to damage the maternal nuclear DNA and inseminated with untreated sperm. Haploid zygotes were exposed to high hydrostatic pressure shock (7000psi for 4min), which was applied 420min after insemination to inhibit the first cell cleavage and recover the diploid state of the zygote. The androgenetic diploid offspring that hatched from the brook charr, the Arctic charr and the hybrids eggs had survival rates of 4.7±0.6%, 1.2±0.4% and 16.8±0.5%, respectively. Drastic mortality among the hatched androgenetic individuals was observed within the first five months of rearing. Cytogenetic analysis of the androgenetic progenies exhibited residues of the irradiated maternal nuclear genome in the form of radiation-induced chromosome fragments in 47% of the specimens that were examined. Interactions between the egg cytoplasm and the sperm nucleus, the low quality of the gametes, the expression of homozygous paternal lethal alleles and the incomplete inactivation of the maternal chromosomes were identified as factors responsible for the large mortality among androgenetic embryos and hatchlings.
