Abstract
The demand for fish protein continues to increase and currently accounts for 17% of total animal protein consumption by humans. About 90% of marine fish stocks are fished at or above maximum sustainable levels, with aquaculture propagating as one of the fastest growing food sectors to address some of this demand. Cell-cultivated seafood production is an alternative approach to produce nutritionally-complete seafood products to meet the growing demand. This cellular aquaculture approach offers a sustainable, climate resilient and ethical biotechnological approach as an alternative to conventional fishing and fish farming. Additional benefits include reduced antibiotic use and the absence of mercury. Cell-cultivated seafood also provides options for the fortification of fish meat with healthier compositions, such as omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial nutrients through scaffold, media or cell approaches. This review addresses the biomaterials, production processes, tissue engineering approaches, processing, quality, safety, regulatory, and social aspects of cell-cultivated seafood, encompassing where we are today, as well as the road ahead. The goal is to provide a roadmap for the science and technology required to bring cellular aquaculture forward as a mainstream food source.

Abstract
Abalone is a popular mollusk in the marine aquaculture industry of China. However, existing challenges, like slow growth, individual miniaturization, and the absence of abundant abalone, have emerged as significant obstacles impeding its long-term progress in aquaculture. Studies have demonstrated that insulin-related peptide (IRP) is a crucial factor in the growth of marine organisms. However, limited studies have been conducted on IRP in abalone. This study indicated that the hdh-MIRP1 open reading frame (ORF) was composed of 456 base pairs, which encoded 151 amino acids. Based on the gene expression and immunofluorescence analyses, the cerebral ganglion of Haliotis discus hannai (H. discus hannai) was the primary site of hdh-MIRP1 mRNA expression. Moreover, hdh-MIRP1 expression was observed to be higher in the larger group than in the smaller group abalones. Only single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was related to their growth characteristics. However, approximately 82 proteins that may interact with hdh-MIRP1 were identified. The functional enrichment analysis of the 82 genes indicated that hdh-MIRP1 may be involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism and the process of growth. This study established a benchwork for further investigating the role of IRP in the growth of abalone.

The Optimum Dietary Phenylalanine Requirement of Hybrid Grouper ( Epinephelusfuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinepheluslanceolatus ♂) Juveniles: Effects on Growth Performance, Gut Micromorphology, and Antioxidation. AQUACULTURE NUTRITION 2023; 2023:9155290. [PMID: 37520289 PMCID: PMC10374384 DOI: 10.1155/2023/9155290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
The optimum phenylalanine (Phe) requirement for hybrid grouper (Epinephelusfuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinepheluslanceolatus ♂) juveniles was determined through an 8-week growth trial. A total of seven isoenergetic (340 kcal per 100 g of dry matter), isonitrogenous, and isolipidic diets were made, containing 8.2 (Phe 8.2), 9.2 (Phe 9.2), 10.1 (Phe 10.1), 11.2 (Phe 11.2), 13.3 (Phe 13.3), 15.2 (Phe 15.2), and 17.3 g/kg (Phe 17.3), respectively. Triplicate tanks of juvenile fish (about 16.7 g/fish) were fed each experimental diet twice daily until apparent satiation. The results indicated that different dietary Phe levels significantly influenced weight gain percentage (WG), feed efficiency (FE), protein efficiency ratio (PER), as well as, productive protein value (PPV). Fish fed Phe 8.2 had the lowest WG or PPV among all experimental treatments. Furthermore, the optimal dietary Phe level increased fold height, width, enterocyte, and microvillus height of fish. The Phe 10.1 group exhibited higher growth hormone (GH) expression in the pituitary compared to other groups. Expression of hepatic insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone receptor 1 (GHR1) displayed a similar pattern of variation to that of GH. The Phe 13.3 group had lower expression of S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and target of rapamycin (TOR) than other groups. In addition, fish fed Phe 10.1 had lower levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2 (Nrf2) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the head kidney, and Cu/Zn-superoxide (Cu/ZnSOD) dismutases in the midgut compared to fish fed other Phe levels. Generally, optimal Phe content in the diet of hybrid grouper was estimated to be 12.7 g/kg of dry matter (27.3 g/kg of dietary protein), and at this level, the feed utilization, gut micromorphology, and immunity of fish were also elevated.

Identification of differentially expressed genes and SNPs linked to harvest body weight of genetically improved rohu carp, Labeo rohita. Front Genet 2023; 14:1153911. [PMID: 37359361 PMCID: PMC10285081 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1153911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
In most of the aquaculture selection programs, harvest body weight has been a preferred performance trait for improvement. Molecular interplay of genes linked to higher body weight is not elucidated in major carp species. The genetically improved rohu carp with 18% average genetic gain per generation with respect to harvest body weight is a promising candidate for studying genes' underlying performance traits. In the present study, muscle transcriptome sequencing of two groups of individuals, with significant difference in breeding value, belonging to the tenth generation of rohu carp was performed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. A total of 178 million paired-end raw reads were generated to give rise to 173 million reads after quality control and trimming. The genome-guided transcriptome assembly and differential gene expression produced 11,86,119 transcripts and 451 upregulated and 181 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high-breeding value and low-breeding value (HB & LB) groups, respectively. Similarly, 39,158 high-quality coding SNPs were identified with the Ts/Tv ratio of 1.23. Out of a total of 17 qPCR-validated transcripts, eight were associated with cellular growth and proliferation and harbored 13 SNPs. The gene expression pattern was observed to be positively correlated with RNA-seq data for genes such as myogenic factor 6, titin isoform X11, IGF-1 like, acetyl-CoA, and thyroid receptor hormone beta. A total of 26 miRNA target interactions were also identified to be associated with significant DETs (p-value < 0.05). Genes such as Myo6, IGF-1-like, and acetyl-CoA linked to higher harvest body weight may serve as candidate genes in marker-assisted breeding and SNP array construction for genome-wide association studies and genomic selection.

Nutritional status affects Igf1 regulation of skeletal muscle myogenesis, myostatin, and myofibrillar protein degradation pathways in gopher rockfish (Sebastes carnatus). Mol Cell Endocrinol 2023; 573:111951. [PMID: 37169322 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2023.111951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1) regulates skeletal muscle growth in fishes by increasing protein synthesis and promoting muscle hypertrophy. When fish experience periods of insufficient food intake, they undergo slower muscle growth or even muscle wasting, and those changes emerge in part from nutritional modulation of Igf1 signaling. Here, we examined how food deprivation (fasting) modulates Igf1 regulation of liver and skeletal muscle gene expression in gopher rockfish (Sebastes carnatus), a nearshore rockfish of importance for commercial and recreational fisheries in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, to understand how food limitation impacts Igf regulation of muscle growth pathways. Rockfish were either fed or fasted for 14 d, after which a subset of fish from each group was treated with recombinant Igf1 from sea bream (Sparus aurata). Fish that were fasted lost body mass and had lower body condition, reduced hepatosomatic index, and lower plasma Igf1 concentrations, as well as a decreased abundance of igf1 gene transcripts in the liver, increased hepatic mRNAs for Igf binding proteins igfbp1a, igfbp1b, and igfbp3a, and decreased mRNA abundances for igfbp2b and a putative Igf acid labile subunit (igfals) gene. In skeletal muscle, fasted fish showed a reduced abundance of intramuscular igf1 mRNAs but elevated gene transcripts encoding Igf1 receptors A (igf1ra) and B (igf1rb), which also showed downregulation by Igf1. Fasting increased skeletal muscle mRNAs for myogenin and myostatin1, as well as ubiquitin ligase F-box only protein 32 (fbxo32) and muscle RING-finger protein-1 (murf1) genes involved in muscle atrophy, while concurrently downregulating mRNAs for myoblast determination protein 2 (myod2), myostatin2, and myogenic factors 5 (myf5) and 6 (myf6 encoding Mrf4). Treatment with Igf1 downregulated muscle myostatin1 and fbxo32 under both feeding conditions, but showed feeding-dependent effects on murf1, myf5, and myf6/Mrf4 gene expression indicating that Igf1 effects on muscle growth and atrophy pathways is contingent on recent food consumption experience.

Abstract
Due to their reported 'glucose-intolerant' phenotype, rainbow trout have been the focus of comparative studies probing underlying endocrine mechanisms at the organismal, tissue and molecular level. A particular focus has been placed on the investigation of the comparative role of insulin, an important glucoregulatory hormone, and its interaction with macronutrients. A limiting factor in the comparative investigation of insulin is the current lack of reliable assays to quantify circulating mature and thus bioactive insulin. To circumvent this limitation, tissue-specific responsiveness to postprandial or exogenous insulin has been quantified at the level of post-translational modifications of cell signalling proteins. These studies revealed that the insulin responsiveness of these proteins and their post-translational modifications are evolutionarily highly conserved and thus provide useful and quantifiable proxy indices to investigate insulin function in rainbow trout. While the involvement of specific branches of the intracellular insulin signalling pathway (e.g., mTor) in rainbow trout glucoregulation have been successfully probed through pharmacological approaches, it would be useful to have a functionally validated insulin receptor antagonist to characterize the glucoregulatory role of the insulin receptor pathway in its entirety for this species. Here, we report two separate in vivo experiments to test the ability of the mammalian insulin receptor antagonist, S961, to efficiently block insulin signalling in liver and muscle in response to endogenously released insulin and to exogenously infused bovine insulin. We found that, irrespective of the experimental treatment or dose, activation of the insulin pathway in liver and muscle was not inhibited by S961, showing that its antagonistic effect does not extend to rainbow trout.

Abstract
Cultivated meat, also known as cultured or cell-based meat, is meat produced directly from cultured animal cells rather than from a whole animal. Cultivated meat and seafood have been proposed as a means of mitigating the substantial harms associated with current production methods, including damage to the environment, antibiotic resistance, food security challenges, poor animal welfare, and-in the case of seafood-overfishing and ecological damage associated with fishing and aquaculture. Because biomedical tissue engineering research, from which cultivated meat draws a great deal of inspiration, has thus far been conducted almost exclusively in mammals, cultivated seafood suffers from a lack of established protocols for producing complex tissues in vitro. At the same time, fish such as the zebrafish Danio rerio have been widely used as model organisms in developmental biology. Therefore, many of the mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the formation of muscle, fat, and other relevant tissue are relatively well understood for this species. The same processes are understood to a lesser degree in aquatic invertebrates. This review discusses the differentiation and maturation of meat-relevant cell types in aquatic species and makes recommendations for future research aimed at recapitulating these processes to produce cultivated fish and shellfish.

Abstract
Control of tissue metabolism and growth involves interactions between organs, tissues, and cell types, mediated by cytokines or direct communication through cellular exchanges. Indeed, over the past decades, many peptides produced by adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and bone named adipokines, myokines and osteokines respectively, have been identified in mammals playing key roles in organ/tissue development and function. Some of them are released into the circulation acting as classical hormones, but they can also act locally showing autocrine/paracrine effects. In recent years, some of these cytokines have been identified in fish models of biomedical or agronomic interest. In this review, we will present their state of the art focusing on local actions and inter-tissue effects. Adipokines reported in fish adipocytes include adiponectin and leptin among others. We will focus on their structure characteristics, gene expression, receptors, and effects, in the adipose tissue itself, mainly regulating cell differentiation and metabolism, but in muscle and bone as target tissues too. Moreover, lipid metabolites, named lipokines, can also act as signaling molecules regulating metabolic homeostasis. Regarding myokines, the best documented in fish are myostatin and the insulin-like growth factors. This review summarizes their characteristics at a molecular level, and describes both, autocrine effects and interactions with adipose tissue and bone. Nonetheless, our understanding of the functions and mechanisms of action of many of these cytokines is still largely incomplete in fish, especially concerning osteokines (i.e., osteocalcin), whose potential cross talking roles remain to be elucidated. Furthermore, by using selective breeding or genetic tools, the formation of a specific tissue can be altered, highlighting the consequences on other tissues, and allowing the identification of communication signals. The specific effects of identified cytokines validated through in vitro models or in vivo trials will be described. Moreover, future scientific fronts (i.e., exosomes) and tools (i.e., co-cultures, organoids) for a better understanding of inter-organ crosstalk in fish will also be presented. As a final consideration, further identification of molecules involved in inter-tissue communication will open new avenues of knowledge in the control of fish homeostasis, as well as possible strategies to be applied in aquaculture or biomedicine.

Abstract
Chrysophrys auratus (Australasian snapper) is one of the largest and most valuable finfish from capture fisheries in New Zealand, yet no cell lines from this species are reported in the scientific literature. Here, we describe a muscle-derived cell line initiated from the tail of a juvenile snapper which has been designated CAtmus1PFR (Chrysophrys auratus, tail muscle, Plant & Food Research). The cell line has been passaged over 100 times in 3 years and is considered immortal. Cells are reliant on serum supplementation for proliferation and exhibit a broad thermal profile comparable to the eurythermic nature of C. auratus in vivo. The impact of exogenous growth factors, including insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), on cell morphology and proliferation was investigated. Insulin-like growth factors acted as mitogens and had minimal effect on cell morphology. TGFβ exposure resulted in CAtmus1PFR exhibiting a myofibroblast morphology becoming enlarged with actin bundling. This differentiation was confirmed through the expression of smooth muscle actin (sma), an increase in type 1 collagen (col1a) expression, and a loss of motility. Expression of col1a and sma was decreased when cells were exposed to bFGF, and no actin bundling was observed. These data indicate that CAtmus1PFR may be myofibroblastic precursor cells descending from mesenchymal progenitor cells present in the tail muscle myosepta.

Abstract
Cell growth and differentiation signals of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a key regulator in embryonic and postnatal development, are mediated through the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R), which activates several downstream pathways. The present study aims to address crucial organogenesis and development pathways including Akt, MAPKs, heat shock response, apoptotic and autophagic machinery, and energy metabolism in relation to IGF-1R activation during five developmental stages of reared Seriola dumerili: 1 day prior to hatching fertilized eggs (D-1), hatching day (D0), 3 days post-hatching larvae (D3), 33 (D33) and 46 (D46) days post-hatching juveniles. During both the fertilized eggs stage and larval-to-juvenile transition, IGF-1R/Akt pathway activation may mediate the hypertrophic signaling, while p44/42 MAPK phosphorylation was apparent at S. dumerili post-hatching processes and juvenile organs completion. On the contrary, apoptosis was induced during embryogenesis and autophagy at hatching day indicating a potential involvement in morphogenetic rearrangements and yolk-sac reserves depletion. Larvae morphogenesis was accompanied by a metabolic turnover with increased substantial energy consumption. The findings of the present study demonstrate the developmental stages-specific shift in critical signaling pathways during the ontogeny of reared S. dumerili.

Mol Cell Endocrinol 2022; 554:111709. [PMID: 35787462 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2022.111709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) develop social hierarchies when competing for resources in a constrained environment. Among the physiological consequences of social status are changes in organismal energy metabolism, which generally favour anabolic pathways in dominant fish and catabolic pathways in subordinate fish. The somatotropic axis is an important regulator of metabolism and growth that could be involved in mediating metabolic changes in response to social status in juvenile rainbow trout. Here we used juvenile trout housed either in dyads or individually (sham controls) to determine whether social status changes indices of somatotropic axis function. Although pituitary growth hormone expression (gh1 and gh2) did not differ among groups, circulating growth hormone (GH) increased ∼12-fold in subordinate fish compared to sham and dominant fish. Social status caused consistent differential expression of GH receptor paralogues in liver and muscle, two principal target tissues of GH. Compared to dominant and/or sham fish, ghra paralogue expression (ghra1 and ghra2) was lower, while ghrb1 expression was higher in subordinate fish. Across tissues, ghra paralogue expression was generally positively correlated with expression of insulin growth factors (igf1, igf2), while ghrb1 expression was positively correlated with transcript abundance of hormone sensitive lipase (hsl1). Because igf and hsl expression are subject to context-dependent GH control in rainbow trout, these results suggest that increased circulating GH in conjunction with differential expression of ghr paralogues may translate into prioritization of downstream catabolic lipolytic pathways in subordinate rainbow trout. These findings support a social context-dependent role for GH signalling in mediating metabolic changes in juvenile rainbow trout.

Amino Acids and IGF1 Regulation of Fish Muscle Growth Revealed by Transcriptome and microRNAome Integrative Analyses of Pacu ( Piaractus mesopotamicus) Myotubes. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031180. [PMID: 35163102 PMCID: PMC8835699 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Amino acids (AA) and IGF1 have been demonstrated to play essential roles in protein synthesis and fish muscle growth. The myoblast cell culture is useful for studying muscle regulation, and omics data have contributed enormously to understanding its molecular biology. However, to our knowledge, no study has performed the large-scale sequencing of fish-cultured muscle cells stimulated with pro-growth signals. In this work, we obtained the transcriptome and microRNAome of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)-cultured myotubes treated with AA or IGF1. We identified 1228 and 534 genes differentially expressed by AA and IGF1. An enrichment analysis showed that AA treatment induced chromosomal changes, mitosis, and muscle differentiation, while IGF1 modulated IGF/PI3K signaling, metabolic alteration, and matrix structure. In addition, potential molecular markers were similarly modulated by both treatments. Muscle-miRNAs (miR-1, -133, -206 and -499) were up-regulated, especially in AA samples, and we identified molecular networks with omics integration. Two pairs of genes and miRNAs demonstrated a high-level relationship, and involvement in myogenesis and muscle growth: marcksb and miR-29b in AA, and mmp14b and miR-338-5p in IGF1. Our work helps to elucidate fish muscle physiology and metabolism, highlights potential molecular markers, and creates a perspective for improvements in aquaculture and in in vitro meat production.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals include natural and synthetic estrogens, such as 17α-ethynilestradiol (EE2), which can affect reproduction, growth and immunity. Estrogen signalling is mediated by nuclear or membrane estrogen receptors, such as the new G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1). The present work studies the effect of EE2 and G1 (an agonist of GPER1) on body and muscle parameters and growth-related genes of 54 two-year-old seabreams. The fish were fed a diet containing EE2 (EE2 group) and G1 (G1 group) for 45 days and then a diet without EE2 or G1 for 122 days. An untreated control group was also studied. At 45 days, the shortest body length was observed in the G1 group, while 79 and 122 days after the cessation of treatments, the shortest body growth was observed in the EE2 group. Hypertrophy of white fibers was higher in the EE2 and G1 groups than it was in the control group, whereas the opposite was the case with respect to hyperplasia. Textural hardness showed a negative correlation with the size of white fibers. At the end of the experiment, all fish analyzed in the EE2 group showed a predominance of the gonadal ovarian area. In addition, the highest expression of the mafbx gene (upregulated in catabolic signals) and mstn2 (myogenesis negative regulator) was found in EE2-exposed fish.

Abstract
The antidepressant venlafaxine can be found at levels nearing μg/L in waterways receiving municipal wastewater effluent, exposing non-target organisms, such as fish, to this chemical. We showed previously that zygotic exposure to venlafaxine alters neurodevelopment and behaviour in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the zygotic deposition of venlafaxine disrupts endocrine pathways related to growth in zebrafish. This was carried out by microinjecting embryos (1-4 cell stage) with either 0, 1, or 10 ng venlafaxine. Zygotic venlafaxine deposition reduced the growth of fish after 30 days post-fertilization. Specific growth rate was particularly impacted by 1 ng venlafaxine. This growth retardation corresponded with the disruption of endocrine pathways involved in growth and metabolism. Venlafaxine exposed embryos displayed reduced transcript abundance of key genes involved in anabolic hormone action. Early-life venlafaxine exposure also reduced whole-body insulin and glucose content in juveniles. Target-tissue glucose uptake measurements indicated that high venlafaxine deposition preferentially increased glucose uptake to the brain. Zygotic venlafaxine did not affect feed intake nor altered the transcript abundance of key feeding-related peptides. Taken together, zygotic venlafaxine deposition compromises zebrafish growth by disrupting multiple endocrine pathways, and this study has identified key markers for potential use in risk assessment.

Abstract
Grass carp is one of the most common farmed fish and its growth rate has been the focus of various studies. However, the impact of long-term exercise on growth rate of juvenile grass carp has not been clearly established. In this study, a four-month exercise trial and liver transcriptome analysis were performed to investigate changes in growth, liver molecular regulatory network and key genes in grass carp. When compared to the non-exercised grass carp (N-EXF), the exercised grass carp (EXF) showed a significant improvement in growth. Liver transcriptome analysis revealed 1714 significantly up-regulated and 1672 significantly down-regulated genes. These genes were enriched in various signaling pathways. These pathways included: those associated with growth, such as the PI3K-Akt and mTOR signaling pathways; those associated with glucose metabolism, such as glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, insulin and AMPK signaling pathways as well as those associated with oxygen transport, such as HIF-1, PI3K-Akt, PPAR and MAPK signaling pathways. In addition, growth-associated genes, such as ghr, igf1 and igf1r; glucose metabolism-associated genes, such as ins and insr as well as oxygen transport-associated genes, such as vhl, pdha and epo were identified. In conclusion, long-term moderate exercise improved the growth rate of grass carp. Our findings elucidate on changes in the liver molecular regulatory network and functional genes that occur during moderate exercise in fish.

Abstract
The carnivorous teleost fish is often intolerant to high levels of postprandial plasma glucose. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone (GH) administrations on plasma glucose levels and expression of glucose transporters (GLUTs) in various tissues of hybrid grouper, and hence to further clarify the hormone-GLUTs-plasma glucose regulating axis. Twenty-four experimental fish (average body weight: 77.5 ± 5.4 g) were selected and injected with recombinant human IGF-1 (0.2 μg/g body weight) and PBS (0.01 mol/L) in enterocoelia, respectively, and in the GH injected experiment, the same quantity of fish (average body weight: 103.8 ± 5.8 g) were administrated with GH at a dose of 0.5 μg/g body weight or with PBS at a dose of 0.01 mol/L. Results showed that plasma glucose level was significantly (P < 0.05) declined by the IGF-1 administration but elevated by the GH administration. Plasma IGF-1 concentration was significantly (P < 0.01) elevated by the IGF-1 administration, while GH concentration did not significantly (P ≥ 0.05) respond to the GH administration. The relative mRNA levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor a (IGF-Ra) in liver and muscle were decreased significantly with the IGF-1 administration, and a similar variation tendency was also found in insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor b (IGF-Rb) in liver, muscle and adipose tissues. Besides, the relative mRNA level of insulin receptor (IRS) in liver was significantly increased in the IGF-1 administrated group. After the GH administration, the mRNA levels of hepatic growth factor receptor 2 (GHR2) and IGF-1 were significantly elevated. As for GLUTs, the relative mRNA levels of GLUT1 and GLUT2 in liver were obviously elevated by the IGF-1 administration, while the mRNA level of GLUT4 in muscle was reduced. In liver, the protein levels of GLUT1, 2 and 4 were significantly elevated by the IGF-1 administration, and in adipose, only GLUT1 was observed to have a significantly increased protein level. The mRNA expression of GLUTs was less affected by the GH administration. The protein level of GLUT1 in liver was significantly reduced by the GH administration, while in adipose, it was significantly increased. The protein level of GLUT2 in liver or adipose showed an opposite variation as that of GLUT1. Overall, IGF-1 had a hypoglycemic effect on hybrid grouper, and this probably was through up-regulating the protein levels of hepatic GLUT1, 2 and 4 and adipose GLUT1. GH showed an opposite role in regulating plasma glucose level as IGF-1.

Abstract
In fish, fasting leads to loss of muscle mass. This condition triggers oxidative stress, and therefore, antioxidants can be an alternative to muscle recovery. We investigated the effects of antioxidant ascorbic acid (AA) on the morphology, antioxidant enzyme activity, and gene expression in the skeletal muscle of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) following fasting, using in vitro and in vivo strategies. Isolated muscle cells of the pacu were subjected to 72 h of nutrient restriction, followed by 24 h of incubation with nutrients or nutrients and AA (200 µM). Fish were fasted for 15 days, followed by 6 h and 15 and 30 days of refeeding with 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg of AA supplementation. AA addition increased cell diameter and the expression of anabolic and cell proliferation genes in vitro. In vivo, 400 mg/kg of AA increased anabolic and proliferative genes expression at 6 h of refeeding, the fiber diameter and the expression of genes related to cell proliferation at 15 days, and the expression of catabolic and oxidative metabolism genes at 30 days. Catalase activity remained low in the higher supplementation group. In conclusion, AA directly affected the isolated muscle cells, and the higher AA supplementation positively influenced muscle growth after fasting.

[PMID: 33419050 PMCID: PMC7825456 DOI: 10.3390/ani11010097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the acute response of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles exposed to temperature, salinity and ammonia stress. Radioimmunoassay was used to evaluate cortisol levels, whereas insulin-like growth factors (igf1 and igf2), myostatin (mstn), heat-shock protein 70 (hsp70) and glucocorticoid receptor (gr) gene expression was assessed trough Real-Time PCR. The presence and localization of IGF-I and HSP70 were investigated by immunohistochemistry. In all the stress conditions, a significant increase in cortisol levels was observed reaching higher values in the thermic and chemical stress groups. Regarding fish growth markers, igf1 gene expression was significantly higher only in fish subjected to heat shock stress while, at 60 min, igf2 gene expression was significantly lower in all the stressed groups. Temperature and ammonia changes resulted in a higher mstn gene expression. Molecular analyses on stress response evidenced a time dependent increase in hsp70 gene expression, that was significantly higher at 60 min in fish exposed to heat shock and chemical stress. Furthermore, the same experimental groups were characterized by a significantly higher gr gene expression respect to the control one. Immunostaining for IGF-I and HSP70 antibodies was observed in skin, gills, liver, and digestive system of gilthead seabream juveniles.

Abstract
The gilthead seabream larval rearing in continuous light is common in most Mediterranean hatcheries to stimulate larval length growth and increase food consumption. Several studies have shown that continuous light affects larval development and increases the prevalence of skeletal deformities. Melatonin is a crucial pineal neurohormone that displays daily secretion patterns, stimulates cell proliferation and embryonic development in Atlantic salmon and zebrafish, and improves osseointegration in mice and humans. However, no studies have examined the effects of orally supplemented melatonin on skeletal deformities in Sparus aurata larvae. We administered exogenous melatonin to gilthead seabream larvae via enriched rotifers and nauplii of Artemia. Exogenous melatonin induced bone deformities and stimulated parathyroid hormone-related protein-coding gene (PTHrP) mRNA expression. In addition to the melatonin-induced PTHrP high expression level, the recorded non coordinated function of skeletal muscle and bone during growth can be the fountainhead of bone deformities. Both myosin light chain 2 (mlc2) and bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein-coding gene (bglap) expression levels were significantly affected by melatonin administration in an inverse dose–response manner during the exogenous melatonin administration. This is the first study to report the effect of inducing melatonin bone deformities on Sparus aurata larvae reared under ordinary hatchery conditions.

Abstract
Rainbow trout with gene editing-induced reductions in serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2b exhibit similar growth performance compared to fish without IGFBP-2b gene disruption. The objective of this study is to determine how the components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)/IGFBP system respond to a reduction in serum IGFBP-2b abundance. Editing the IGFBP-2b genes in rainbow trout resulted in an 83% decrease in serum IGFBP-2b in mutants. This resulted in a 35% reduction in serum IGF-I, which was offset by reduced expression of hepatic igfbp-1a2 and increased muscle igfr-1a; these responses suggest that an increased IGF-I signaling capacity offset reductions in serum IGF-I. During feed deprivation, the differential expression of igfbp genes supports the attenuation of the growth inhibitory response, likely due to the further reduction in serum IGF-I that alleviated the need for an IGF-inhibitory response. Unique igfbp expression patterns occurred during refeeding, suggesting an enhanced IGF-I signaling capacity in controls. Collectively, these findings support that the role of IGFBP-2b is to regulate serum IGF-I concentrations. The compensatory regulation of IGF/IGFBP system genes indicates that adjustments in other IGFBP, both circulating and at the local level, maintain IGF-I signaling at a level appropriate for the nutritional state of the fish.

Abstract
The fish insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway has weak control over carbohydrate metabolism. To understand the molecular basis for the metabolic diversity, we characterized the forkhead box transcription factor O1A (FoxO1A), a downstream target of the insulin/IGF pathway, in torafugu Takifugu rubripes. The cloned torafugu FoxO1A cDNA contained all conserved features critical for its transcriptional activity and a unique unspliced intron encoding a poly-glutamine stretch. Torafugu FoxO1A showed the IGF-dependent nuclear exclusion and in vitro binding to the well-conserved FoxO1 binding site, DAF-16 binding element (DBE), but failed to bind to the insulin-responsive element by which mammalian FoxO1 mediates insulin effects. The subsequent in silico genomic screening provided a list of 587 potential torafugu FoxO1A target genes containing the DBE. Some carbohydrate metabolic genes regulated by FoxO1 in mammals were not included in the list. We further identified about 250 potential fish FoxO1 target genes by integrating results of the DBE screening against fish metagenome that contained 262 species. Neuronal processes appeared to be the common major function of fish FoxO1, although further annotation of the potential target genes is required. These results provide a part of the molecular basis underlying the weak association between the insulin/IGF pathway and carbohydrate metabolism in fish.

Abstract
The growth hormone (Gh)/insulin-like growth-factor (Igf)/Igf binding protein (Igfbp) system regulates growth and osmoregulation in salmonid fishes, but how this system interacts with other endocrine systems is largely unknown. Given the well-documented consequences of mounting a glucocorticoid stress response on growth, we hypothesized that cortisol inhibits anabolic processes by modulating the expression of hepatic igfbp mRNAs. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr were implanted intraperitoneally with cortisol implants (0, 10, and 40 μg g-1 body weight) and sampled after 3 or 14 days. Cortisol elicited a dose-dependent reduction in specific growth rate (SGR) after 14 days. While plasma Gh and Igf1 levels were unchanged, hepatic igf1 mRNA was diminished and hepatic igfbp1b1 and -1b2 were stimulated by the high cortisol dose. Plasma Igf1 was positively correlated with SGR at 14 days. Hepatic gh receptor (ghr), igfbp1a, -2a, -2b1, and -2b2 levels were not impacted by cortisol. Muscle igf2, but not igf1 or ghr, levels were stimulated at 3 days by the high cortisol dose. As both cortisol and the Gh/Igf axis promote seawater (SW) tolerance, and particular igfbps respond to SW exposure, we also assessed whether cortisol coordinates the expression of branchial igfbps and genes associated with ion transport. Cortisol stimulated branchial igfbp5b2 levels in parallel with Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity and nka-α1b, Na+/K+/2Cl--cotransporter 1 (nkcc1), and cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator 1 (cftr1) mRNA levels. The collective results indicate that cortisol modulates the growth of juvenile salmon via the regulation of hepatic igfbp1s whereas no clear links between cortisol and branchial igfbps previously shown to be salinity-responsive could be established.

Abstract
Genetic improvement for faster growth is a conventional approach to increase growth rates in aquaculture species; however, the genetic and physiological factors regulating growth performance in fish are not fully characterized. The objective of this study was to identify physiological mechanisms associated with faster growth rates by comparing the liver and muscle transcriptome of a rainbow trout line selectively bred for fast growth (growth line, GL) and a contemporary randomly mated control line (synthetic control, SC) from the same selective breeding program. A third genetic line from a commercial egg supplier (commercial A, CA) was also included to characterize differences in gene expression profiles between populations. Body weight of the GL at harvest was approximately 20% and 8% heavier (p < 0.05) than SC and CA, respectively. There were 145 and 36 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in liver and white muscle, respectively, between the GL and SC that were enriched for the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor axis (GH/IGF) and PI3K-Akt, JAK-STAT, MAPK, and cAMP signal transduction pathways. A greater concentration of plasma IGF-I was detected in the GL compared with SC (p < 0.05). A unique gene profile was detected in CA, with 11 and 210 DEG in liver and white muscle; these genes associated with innate immunity, complement systems, and metabolic pathways. Collectively, these findings provide a more extensive characterization of the fast-growth phenotype in fish that furthers knowledge of the physiological basis for genetic variation in growth performance in selectively bred rainbow trout.

Abstract
The growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (Igf) endocrine axis regulates somatic growth in the face of changing environmental conditions. In actinopterygian fishes, food availability is a key modulator of the somatotropic axis, with lower food intake generally depressing liver Igf1 release to diminish growth. Igf1 signaling, however, also involves several distinct IGF binding proteins (Igfbps), and the functional roles of many of these Igfbps in affecting growth during shifting food availability remain uncertain. Here, we tested how complete food deprivation (fasting) affected gene transcription for paralogs of all six types of Igfbps in the liver and fast-twitch skeletal muscle of cabezon (Scorpaenichthys marmoratus), a nearshore marine fish important for recreational fisheries in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Juvenile cabezon were maintained as either fed (6% mass food⋅g fish wet mass-1⋅d-1) or fasted for 14 d. Fasted fish exhibited a lower body condition (K), a depressed mass-specific growth rate (SGR), and reduced plasma concentrations of Igf1. In the liver, fasting reduced the relative abundance of gene transcripts encoding Igfbps igfbp2a and igfbp2b, while significantly elevating mRNA levels for igfbp1a, igfbp1b, igfbp3b, and igfbp4. Fasting also reduced hepatic mRNA levels of GH receptor-1 (ghr1) - but not GH receptor-2 (ghr2) - supporting the idea that changes in liver sensitivity to GH may underlie the decline in plasma Igf1 during food deprivation. In skeletal muscle, fasting downregulated gene transcripts encoding igf1, igfbp2b, igfbp5b, and igfbp6b, while also upregulating mRNAs for igf2 and ghr2. These data demonstrate isoform-specific regulation of Igfbps in liver and skeletal muscle in cabezon experiencing food deprivation and reinforce the idea that the repertoire of duplicated Igfbp genes that evolved in actinopterygian fishes supports a diverse scope of endocrine and paracrine functions.

Abstract
Rainbow trout are considered glucose intolerant because they are poor utilizers of glucose, despite having functional insulin receptors and glucose transporters. Following high carbohydrate meals, rainbow trout are persistently hyperglycemic, which is likely due to low glucose utilization in peripheral tissues including the muscle. Also, rainbow trout myogenic precursor cells (MPCs) treated in vitro with insulin and IGF1 increase glucose uptake and protein synthesis, whereas protein degradation is decreased. Given our understanding of glucose regulation in trout, we sought to understand how glucose concentrations affect protein synthesis, protein degradation; and expression of genes associated with muscle growth and proteolysis in MPCs. We found that following 24 h and 48 h of treatment with low glucose media (5.6 mM), myoblasts had significant decreases in protein synthesis. Also, low glucose treatments affected the expression of both mstn2a and igfbp5. These findings support that glucose is a direct regulator of protein synthesis and growth-related mechanisms in rainbow trout muscle.

Abstract
Background: Myostatin (Mstn), a member of the TGF-β superfamily, is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass in mammals. Precise regulation of Mstn expression is important for somite growth in fish. MicroRNA (miRNA), a type of small non-coding RNA, regulates gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and participates in various physiological functions. A growing amount of evidence has emphasized the importance of miRNA in the development of skeletal muscle. Aims: This study aims to study how miRNAs regulate myostatin b (mstnb) post-transcriptionally in tilapia. Methods/Results: Mstnb 3' UTR sequences were obtained, and the results of tissue distribution showed that mstnb was expressed in several tissues, including brain, white muscle, gut, and adipose tissue. A total of 1,992 miRNAs were predicted to target mstnb in tilapia using bioinformatics, and a dual-luciferase reporter experiment confirmed that miR-181a/b-5p, miR-30-3p, miR-200a, and miR-27a were the target miRNAs of mstnb. Mutagenesis of the miR-181b-5p binding sites of mstnb significantly increased the luciferase signal compared to the wild-type mstnb. In tilapia primary muscle cells, overexpression of miR-181b-5p led to the downregulation of MSTNb expression, and the inhibitory effect of MSTNb on the downstream genes was dismissed, while inhibition of miR-181b-5p could reverse these phenomena. Conclusion: Taken together, our results suggested that miR-181b-5p could promote the growth of skeletal muscle by decreasing the MSTNb protein level in tilapia.

Abstract
In salmonids, the majority of circulating insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is bound to IGF binding proteins (IGFBP), with IGFBP-2b being the most abundant in circulation. We used CRISPR/Cas9 methodology to disrupt expression of a functional IGFBP-2b protein by co-targeting for gene editing IGFBP-2b1 and IGFBP-2b2 subtypes, which represent salmonid-specific gene duplicates. Twenty-four rainbow trout were produced with mutations in the IGFBP-2b1 and IGFBP-2b2 genes. Mutant fish exhibited between 8–100% and 2–83% gene disruption for IGFBP-2b1 and IGFBP-2b2, respectively, with a positive correlation (P < 0.001) in gene mutation rate between individual fish. Analysis of IGFBP-2b protein indicated reductions in plasma IGFBP-2b abundance to between 0.04–0.96-fold of control levels. Plasma IGF-I, body weight, and fork length were reduced in mutants at 8 and 10 months post-hatch, which supports that IGFBP-2b is significant for carrying IGF-I. Despite reduced plasma IGF-I and IGFBP-2b in mutants, growth retardation in mutants was less severe between 10 and 12 months post-hatch (P < 0.05), suggesting a compensatory growth response occurred. These findings indicate that gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9 and ligand blotting is a feasible approach for characterizing protein-level functions of duplicated IGFBP genes in salmonids and is useful to unravel IGF-related endocrine mechanisms.

Abstract
Feminizing endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) affect the growth and development of teleost fishes. The major regulator of growth performance, the growth hormone (Gh)/insulin-like growth-factor (Igf) system, is sensitive to estrogenic compounds and mediates certain physiological and potentially behavioral consequences of EDC exposure. Igf binding proteins (Igfbps) are key modulators of Igf activity, but their alteration by EDCs has not been examined. We investigated two life-stages (fry and smolts) of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), and characterized how the Gh/Igf/Igfbp system responded to waterborne 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), 17β-estradiol (E2) and 4-nonylphenol (NP). Fry exposed to EE2 and NP for 21 days had increased hepatic vitellogenin (vtg) mRNA levels while hepatic estrogen receptor α (erα), gh receptor (ghr), igf1 and igf2 mRNA levels were decreased. NP-exposed fry had reduced body mass and total length compared to controls. EE2 and NP reduced hepatic igfbp1b1, -2a, -2b1, -4, -5b2 and -6b1, and stimulated igfbp5a. In smolts, hepatic vtg mRNA levels were induced following 4-day exposures to all three EDCs, while erα only responded to EE2 and E2. EDC exposures did not affect body mass or fork length; however, EE2 diminished plasma Gh and Igf1 levels in parallel with reductions in hepatic ghr and igf1. In smolts, EE2 and E2 diminished hepatic igfbp1b1, -4 and -6b1, and stimulated igfbp5a. There were no signs of compromised ionoregulation in smolts, as indicated by unchanged branchial ion pump/transporter mRNA levels. We conclude that hepatic igfbps respond (directly and/or indirectly) to environmental estrogens during two key life-stages of Atlantic salmon, and thus may modulate the growth and development of exposed individuals.

Abstract
Many genes related to muscle growth modulate myoblast proliferation and differentiation and promote muscle hypertrophy. MyoD is a myogenic determinant that contributes to myoblast determination, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) interacts with MyoD to regulate muscle hypertrophy and muscle mass. In this study, we aimed to assess DNA methylation and mRNA expression patterns of MyoD and IGF-I during different developmental stages of Japanese flounder, and to examine the relationship between MyoD and IGF-I gene. DNA and RNA were extracted from muscles, and DNA methylation of MyoD and IGF-I promoter and exons was detected by bisulfite sequencing. The relative expression of MyoD and IGF-I was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. IGF-I was measured by radioimmunoassay. Interestingly, the lowest expression of MyoD and IGF-I emerged at larva stage, and the mRNA expression was negatively associated with methylation. We hypothesized that many skeletal muscle were required to complete metamorphosis; thus, the expression levels of MyoD and IGF-I genes increased from larva stage and then decreased. The relative expression levels of MyoD and IGF-I exhibited similar patterns, suggesting that MyoD and IGF-I regulated muscle growth through combined effects. Changes in the concentrations of IGF-I hormone were similar to those of IGF-I gene expression. Our results the mechanism through which MyoD and IGF-I regulate muscle development and demonstrated that MyoD interacted with IGF-I to regulate muscle growth during different developmental stages.

Abstract
In mammals and fish, somatic growth and metabolism are coordinated by the GH-IGF axis, composed of growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptors I and II (GHR-I and GHR-II), and the insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II). In order to determine if dietary macronutrients regulate the hepatopancreatic expression of ghr-I, ghr-II, igf-I and igf-II independently of circulating GH, organ culture experiments were conducted. Briefly, goldfish hepatopancreas sections were incubated with different doses of glucose; L-tryptophan; oleic acid; linolenic acid (LNA); eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). After two and four hours of treatment, the expression of ghr-I, ghr-II, igf-I and igf-II mRNAs was quantified. We found that glucose and L-tryptophan globally upregulate the mRNA expression of ghr-I; ghr-II; igf-I and igf-II. Duration of exposure, and unsaturation level of fatty acids differentially modulate ghr-I, ghr-II and igf-II mRNA expression. Additionally, we found that fatty acids increase the expression of igf-I depending on incubation time and fatty acid class. In conclusion, here we present evidence for GH-independent, direct effects exerted by dietary macronutrients on GHR and IGF in goldfish hepatopancreas.

Abstract
Basic principles governing skeletal muscle growth and development, from a cellular point of view, have been realized for several decades. Skeletal muscle is marked by the capacity for rapid hypertrophy and increases in protein content. Ultimately, skeletal muscle growth is controlled by 2 basic means: 1) myonuclear accumulation stemming from satellite cell (myoblast) proliferation and 2) the balance of protein synthesis and degradation. Each process underlies the rapid changes in lean tissue accretion evident during fetal and neonatal growth and is particularly sensitive to nutritional manipulation. Although multiple signals converge to alter skeletal muscle mass, postprandial changes in the anabolic hormone insulin link feed intake with enhanced rates of protein synthesis in the neonate. Indeed, a consequence of insulin-deficient states such as malnutrition is reduced myoblast activity and a net loss of body protein. A well-characterized mechanism mediating the anabolic effect of insulin involves the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Activation of mTOR leads to translation initiation control via the phosphorylation of downstream targets. Modulation of this pathway by insulin, as well as by other hormones and nutrients, accounts for enhanced protein synthesis leading to efficient lean tissue accretion and rapid skeletal muscle gain in the growing animal. Dysfunctional insulin activity during fetal and neonatal stages likely alters growth through cellular and protein synthetic capacities.

Abstract
Lipoic acid (LA) is an antioxidant that also favors glucose uptake in mammals. Until now, there are no studies evaluating the potential effect of this molecule on glycemic control in fish. It was evaluated LA effects on glucose uptake in common carp Cyprinus carpio fed with carbohydrate diets from two carbohydrate sources: glucose (GLU) and starch (STA), and supplemented or not with LA, being the diets: +GLU/-LA (GLU); +GLU/+LA (GLU + LA); +STA/-LA (STA); and +STA/+LA (STA + LA). Carp juveniles (6.5 ± 0.1 g) were fed with each diet ad libitum 4 times a day, during 68 days. Muscle glycogen concentration was higher (p < 0.05) in GLU and GLU + LA than in STA and STA + LA groups. On fish fed with starch, muscle cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were higher (p < 0.05) in fish fed diets supplemented with LA. Muscle protein levels were higher in fish fed with LA, independent of the diet carbohydrate source. Lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in fish muscle on fish fed the STA + LA diets when compared with the STA diet. Our findings indicate that LA modulates lipid, proteins and carbohydrate metabolism together with the well-known antioxidant effect. Also, LA showed to enhance starch utilization taking into account muscle cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Abstract
The growth hormone (Gh)/insulin-like growth-factor (Igf) system plays a central role in the regulation of growth in fishes. However, the roles of Igf binding proteins (Igfbps) in coordinating responses to food availability are unresolved, especially in anadromous fishes preparing for seaward migration. We assayed plasma Gh, Igf1, thyroid hormones and cortisol along with igfbp mRNA levels in fasted and fed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Fish were fasted for 3 or 10days near the peak of smoltification (late April to early May). Fasting reduced plasma glucose by 3days and condition factor by 10days. Plasma Gh, cortisol, and thyroxine (T4) were not altered in response to fasting, whereas Igf1 and 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3) were slightly higher and lower than controls, respectively. Hepatic igfbp1b1, -1b2, -2a, -2b1 and -2b2 mRNA levels were not responsive to fasting, but there were marked increases in igfbp1a1 following 3 and 10days of fasting. Fasting did not alter hepatic igf1 or igf2; however, muscle igf1 was diminished by 10days of fasting. There were no signs that fasting compromised branchial ionoregulatory functions, as indicated by unchanged Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity and ion pump/transporter mRNA levels. We conclude that dynamic hepatic igfbp1a1 and muscle igf1 expression participate in the modulation of Gh/Igf signaling in smolts undergoing catabolism.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have a fundamental role in a vast range of functions acting through a tyrosine-kinase receptor (IGF-IR). IGFs in muscle can affect the expression of components of the local IGF system, myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), proliferating (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA) or differentiating molecules (myosin heavy chain, MHC) and, lead to the activation of different signaling pathways. The response of all these genes to IGFs incubation at two different times in day 4 cultured myocytes of gilthead sea bream was analyzed. Both IGFs increased the expression of IGF-I and IGFBP-5, but showed different effects on the receptors, with IGF-I suppressing the expression of both isoforms (IGF-IRa and IGF-IRb) and IGF-II up-regulating only IGF-IRb. Moreover, the protein levels of PCNA and target of rapamycin (TOR) increased after IGF-II incubation, although a decline in Myf5 and a rise in MHC gene expression was caused by IGF-I. Taken together, these results provide evidence for the importance of IGFs on controlling muscle development and growth in gilthead sea bream and suggest that each IGF may be preferentially acting through a specific IGF-IR. Moreover, the data support the hypothesis that IGF-II has a more important role during proliferation, whereas IGF-I seems to be relevant for the differentiation phase of myogenesis.

Abstract
Optimizing aquaculture production requires better knowledge of growth regulation and improvement in diet formulation. A great effort has been made to replace fish meal for plant protein sources in aquafeeds, making necessary the supplementation of such diets with crystalline amino acids (AA) to cover the nutritional requirements of each species. Lysine and Leucine are limiting essential AA in fish, and it has been demonstrated that supplementation with them improves growth in different species. However, the specific effects of AA deficiencies in myogenesis are completely unknown and have only been studied at the level of hepatic metabolism. It is well-known that the TOR pathway integrates the nutritional and hormonal signals to regulate protein synthesis and cell proliferation, to finally control muscle growth, a process also coordinated by the expression of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs). This study aimed to provide new information on the impact of Lysine and Leucine deficiencies in gilthead sea bream cultured myocytes examining their development and the response of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), MRFs, as well as key molecules involved in muscle growth regulation like TOR. Leucine deficiency did not cause significant differences in most of the molecules analyzed, whereas Lysine deficiency appeared crucial in IGFs regulation, decreasing significantly IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-IRb mRNA levels. This treatment also down-regulated the gene expression of different MRFs, including Myf5, Myogenin and MyoD2. These changes were also corroborated by a significant decrease in proliferation and differentiation markers in the Lysine-deficient treatment. Moreover, both Lysine and Leucine limitation induced a significant down-regulation in FOXO3 gene expression, which deserves further investigation. We believe that these results will be relevant for the production of a species as appreciated for human consumption as it is gilthead sea bream and demonstrates the importance of an adequate level of Lysine in fishmeal diet formulation for optimum growth.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between IGFs produced in the liver and skeletal muscle with muscle hypertrophy previously observed in a line of GH-transgenic zebrafish. In this sense, we evaluated the expression of genes related to the IGF system in liver and muscle of transgenics, as well as the main intracellular signaling pathways used by GH/IGF axis. Our results showed an increase in expression of igf1a, igf2a, and igf2b genes in the liver. Moreover, there was a decrease in the expression of igf1ra and an increase in muscle igf2r of transgenics, indicating a negative response of muscle tissue with respect to excess circulating IGFs. Muscle IGFs expression analyses revealed a significant increase only for igf2b, accompanied by a parallel induction of igfbp5a gene. The presence of IGFBP5a may potentiate the IGF2 action in muscle cells differentiation. Regarding JAK/STAT-related genes, we observed an alteration in the expression profile of both stat3 and stat5a in transgenic fish liver. No changes were observed in the muscle, suggesting that both tissues respond differently to GH-transgenesis. Western blotting analyses indicated an imbalance between the phosphorylation levels of the proliferative (MEK/ERK) and hypertrophic (PI3K/Akt) pathways, in favor of the latter. In summary, the results of this study suggest that the hypertrophy caused by GH-transgenesis in zebrafish may be due to circulating IGFs produced by the liver, with an important participation of muscle IGF2b. This group of IGFs appears to be favoring the hypertrophic intracellular pathway in muscle tissue of transgenic zebrafish.

Abstract
Research on the regulation of fish muscle physiology and growth was addressed originally by classical in vivo approaches; however, systemic interactions resulted in many questions that could be better considered through in vitro myocyte studies. The first paper published by our group in this field was with Tom Moon on brown trout cardiomyocytes, where the insulin and IGF-I receptors were characterized and the down-regulatory effects of an excess of peptides demonstrated. We followed the research on cultured skeletal muscle cells through the collaboration with INRA focused on the characterization of IGF-I receptors and its signaling pathways through in vitro development. Later on, we showed the important metabolic role of IGFs, although these studies were only the first stage of a prolific area of work that has offered a useful tool to advance in our knowledge of the endocrine and nutritional regulation of fish growth and metabolism. Obviously, the findings obtained in vitro serve the purpose to propose the scenario that will need confirmation in vivo, but this technique has made possible many different, easy, fast and better controlled studies. In this review, we have summarized the main advances that the use of cultured muscle cells has permitted, focusing mainly in the role of IGFs regulating fish metabolism and growth. Although many articles have already appeared using this model system in salmonids, gilthead sea bream or zebrafish, it is reasonable to expect new studies with cultured cells using innovative approaches that will help to understand fish physiology and its regulation.

Abstract
Background Fish reared under intensive conditions are repeatedly exposed to stress, which negatively impacts growth. Although most fish follow a conserved pattern of stress response, with increased concentrations of cortisol, each species presents specificities in the cell response and stress tolerance. Therefore, culturing new species requires a detailed knowledge of these specific responses. The red cusk-eel (Genypterus chilensis) is a new economically important marine species for the Chilean aquaculture industry. However, there is no information on the stress- and cortisol-induced mechanisms that decrease skeletal muscle growth in this teleost. Results Using Illumina RNA-seq technology, skeletal muscle sequence reads for G. chilensis were generated under control and handling stress conditions. Reads were mapped onto a reference transcriptome, resulting in the in silico identification of 785 up-regulated and 167 down-regulated transcripts. Gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed a significant up-regulation of catabolic genes associated with skeletal muscle atrophy. These results were validated by RT-qPCR analysis for ten candidates genes involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, autophagy and skeletal muscle growth. Additionally, using a primary culture of fish skeletal muscle cells, the effect of cortisol was evaluated in relation to red cusk-eel skeletal muscle atrophy. Conclusions The present data demonstrated that handling stress promotes skeletal muscle atrophy in the marine teleost G. chilensis through the expression of components of the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosome systems. Furthermore, cortisol was a powerful inductor of skeletal muscle atrophy in fish myotubes. This study is an important step towards understanding the atrophy system in non-model teleost species and provides novel insights on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control skeletal muscle growth in early vertebrates.

Abstract
Effects of a single injection of 17β-estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), or 5β-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on expression of genes central to the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis, muscle-regulatory factors, transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) superfamily signaling cascade, and estrogen receptors were determined in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver and white muscle tissue. In liver in addition to regulating GH sensitivity and IGF production, sex steroids also affected expression of IGF binding proteins, as E2, T, and DHT increased expression of igfbp2b and E2 also increased expression of igfbp2 and igfbp4. Regulation of this system also occurred in white muscle in which E2 increased expression of igf1, igf2, and igfbp5b1, suggesting anabolic capacity may be maintained in white muscle in the presence of E2. In contrast, DHT decreased expression of igfbp5b1. DHT and T decreased expression of myogenin, while other muscle regulatory factors were either not affected or responded similarly for all steroid treatments. Genes within the TGFβ superfamily signaling cascade responded to steroid treatment in both liver and muscle, suggesting a regulatory role for sex steroids in the ability to transmit signals initiated by TGFβ superfamily ligands, with a greater number of genes responding in liver than in muscle. Estrogen receptors were also regulated by sex steroids, with era1 expression increasing for all treatments in muscle, but only E2- and T-treatment in liver. E2 reduced expression of erb2 in liver. Collectively, these data identify how physiological mechanisms are regulated by sex steroids in a manner that promotes the disparate effects of androgens and estrogens on growth in salmonids.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I on glycerol release and the regulation of IGF-I and IGF-II expression by GH in isolated rainbow trout adipocytes. Cells were also incubated with GH, tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), or insulin to analyze the gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and lipid metabolism markers: hormone sensitive lipase, fatty acid synthase (FAS), and lipoprotein lipase. Complimentary in vivo experiments were performed by intraperitoneally administering insulin, TNFα, or lipopolysaccharide and subjecting the animals to fasting and refeeding periods. The results showed that IGF-I had an antilipolytic effect and GH had a lipolytic effect; the latter occurred independently of IGF modulation and in conjunction with a reduction in PPARα expression in adipocytes. The anabolic action of insulin was demonstrated through its upregulation of lipogenic genes such as lipoprotein lipase, FAS, and PPARγ, whereas GH, by contrast, inhibited FAS expression in adipose tissue. The gene transcription levels of PPARs changed differentially during fasting and refeeding, and the TNFα and/or lipopolysaccharide administration suggested that the regulation of PPARs helps maintain metabolic adipose tissue homeostasis in rainbow trout.

Abstract
In order to elucidate the possible roles of insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II) in the embryonic development of Platichthys stellatus, their cDNAs were isolated and their spatial expression pattern in adult organs and temporal expression pattern throughout embryonic development were examined by quantitative real-time PCR assay. The IGF-I cDNA sequence was 1,268 bp in length and contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 558 bp, which encoded 185 amino acid residues. With respect to IGF-II, the full-length cDNA was 899 bp in length and contained a 648-bp ORF, which encoded 215 amino acid residues. The amino acid sequences of IGF-I and IGF-II exhibited high identities with their fish counterparts. The highest IGF-I mRNA level was found in the liver for both sexes, whereas the IGF-II gene was most abundantly expressed in female liver and male liver, gill, and brain. The sex-specific and spatial expression patterns of IGF-I and IGF-II mRNAs are thought to be related to the sexually dimorphic growth and development of starry flounder. Both IGF-I and IGF-II mRNAs were detected in unfertilized eggs, which indicated that IGF-I and IGF-II were parentally transmitted. Nineteen embryonic development stages were tested. IGF-I mRNA level remained high from unfertilized eggs to low blastula followed by a significant decrease at early gastrula and then maintained a lower level. In contrast, IGF-II mRNA level was low from unfertilized eggs to high blastula and peaked at low blastula followed by a gradual decrease. Moreover, higher levels of IGF-I mRNA than that of IGF-II were found from unfertilized eggs to high blastula, vice versa from low blastula to newly hatched larva, and the different expression pattern verified the differential roles of IGF-I and IGF-II in starry flounder embryonic development. These results could help in understanding the endocrine mechanism involved in the early development and growth of starry flounder.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the development of skeletal muscle. In our previous study, expression of miR-195 and miR-497 were shown to be up-regulated during muscle development in pigs. In this study, we investigated the roles of these two miRNAs in myogenesis and analyzed their transcriptional regulation. Our results showed that miR-195 and miR-497 were up-regulated during muscle development and myoblast differentiation. Moreover, miR-195/497 inhibited proliferation but not differentiation in C2C12 cells. Further investigation revealed that Igf1r, Insr, Ccnd2, and Ccne1 were directly targeted by miR-195/497 in myoblasts. In addition, we confirmed that similarly expressed miR-195 and miR-497 were negatively regulated by nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-ҡB) in both myoblasts and skeletal muscle tissue. Our data illustrated that the NF-ҡB-miR-195/497-Igf1r/Insr-Ccnd2/Ccne1 signaling pathway played important roles in the myogenesis. Our study provides novel evidence for the roles of miR-195/497 in muscle development.

Abstract
Food intake in fish is a complex process regulated through many different factors including abundance of energy and nutrients. In recent years, evidence have been obtained in several fishes, mainly in rainbow trout, regarding the presence and functioning in brain areas of metabolic sensors informing about changes in the levels of nutrients like glucose and fatty acids. The activity of these sensors relate to the control of food intake through changes in the expression of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides. The present review will provide a picture of the main results obtained to date in these studies, as well as perspectives for future research in the field.

Abstract
Soybeans and other legumes investigated as fishmeal replacements in aquafeeds contain phytoestrogens capable of binding to and activating estrogen receptors. Estradiol has catabolic effects in salmonid white muscle, partially through increases in protein turnover. The current study determines whether phytoestrogens promote similar effects. In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) primary myocyte cultures, the phytoestrogens genistein, daidzein, glycitein, and R- and S-equol reduced rates of protein synthesis and genistein, the phytoestrogen of greatest abundance in soy, also increased rates of protein degradation. Increased expression of the ubiquitin ligase fbxo32 and autophagy-related genes was observed with high concentrations of genistein (100 μM), and R- and S-equol (100 μM) also up-regulated autophagy-related genes. In contrast, low genistein concentrations in vitro (0.01-0.10 μM) and in vivo (5 μg/g body mass) decreased fbxo32 expression, suggesting a potential metabolic benefit for low levels of genistein exposure. Phytoestrogens reduced cell proliferation, indicating that effects of phytoestrogens extend from metabolic to mitogenic processes. Co-incubation of genistein with the estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist, ICI 182,780, ameliorated effects of genistein on protein degradation, but not protein synthesis or cell proliferation, indicating that effects of genistein are mediated through ER-dependent and ER-independent mechanisms. Collectively, these data warrant additional studies to determine the extent to which dietary phytoestrogens, especially genistein, affect physiological processes that impact growth and nutrient retention.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle growth and development is controlled by nutritional (amino acids, AA) as well as hormonal factors (insulin-like growth factor, IGF-I); however, how its interaction modulates muscle mass in fish is not clearly elucidated. The purpose of this study was to analyze the development of gilthead sea bream cultured myocytes to describe the effects of AA and IGF-I on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) expression, as well as on the transduction pathways involved in its signaling (TOR/AKT). Our results showed that AA and IGF-I separately increased the number of PCNA-positive cells and, together produced a synergistic effect. Furthermore, AA and IGF-I, combined or separately, increased significantly Myogenin protein expression, whereas MyoD was not affected. These results indicate a role for these factors in myocyte proliferation and differentiation. At the mRNA level, AA significantly enhanced PCNA expression, but no effects were observed on the expression of the MRFs or AKT2 and FOXO3 upon treatment. Nonetheless, we demonstrated for the first time in gilthead sea bream that AA significantly increased the gene expression of TOR and its downstream effectors 4EBP1 and 70S6K, with IGF-I having a supporting role on 4EBP1 up-regulation. Moreover, AA and IGF-I also activated TOR and AKT by phosphorylation, respectively, being this activation decreased by specific inhibitors. In summary, the present study demonstrates the importance of TOR signaling on the stimulatory role of AA and IGF-I in gilthead sea bream myogenesis and contributes to better understand the potential regulation of muscle growth and development in fish.

Abstract
One of the most fundamental biological processes in living organisms that are affected by environmental fluctuations is growth. In fish, skeletal muscle accounts for the largest proportion of body mass, and the growth of this tissue is mainly controlled by the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system. By using the carp (Cyprinus carpio), a fish that inhabits extreme conditions during winter and summer, we assessed the skeletal muscle plasticity induced by seasonal acclimatization and the relation of IGF signaling with protein synthesis and ribosomal biogenesis. The expression of igf1 in muscle decreased during winter in comparison with summer, whereas the expression for both paralogues of igf2 did not change significantly between seasons. The expression of igf1 receptor a (igf1ra), but not of igf1rb, was down-regulated in muscle during the winter as compared to the summer. A decrease in protein contents and protein phosphorylation for IGF signaling molecules in muscle was observed in winter-acclimatized carp. This was related with a decreased expression in muscle for markers of myogenesis (myoblast determination factor (myod), myogenic factor 5 (myf5), and myogenin (myog)); protein synthesis (myosin heavy chain (mhc) and myosin light chain (mlc3 and mlc1b)); and ribosomal biogenesis (pre-rRNA and ribosomal proteins). IGF signaling, and key markers of ribosomal biogenesis, protein synthesis, and myogenesis were affected by seasonal acclimatization, with differential regulation in gene expression and signaling pathway activation observed in muscle between both seasons. This suggests that these molecules are responsible for the muscle plasticity induced by seasonal acclimatization in carp.
