Abstract
Hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (HPND) broke out in 2015 in the Eriocheir sinensis aquaculture region of Xinghua, Jiangsu Province; however, the specific cause of HPND remains unclear. A correlation was found between HPND outbreak and the use of deltamethrin by farmers. In this study, E. sinensis specimens developed the clinical symptoms of HPND after 93 days of deltamethrin stress. The growth of E. sinensis with HPND was inhibited. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central regulator of energy homeostasis, and its expression was up-regulated in the intestine of E. sinensis with HPND. Growth inhibitory genes (EsCabut, Es4E-BP, and EsCG6770) were also up-regulated in the intestine of E. sinensis with HPND. The expression levels of EsCabut, Es4E-BP, and EsCG6770 decreased after EsAMPK knockdown. Therefore, AMPK mediated the growth inhibition of E. sinensis with HPND. Further analysis indicated the presence of a crosstalk between the Toll and AMPK signaling pathways in E. sinensis with HPND. Multiple genes in the Toll signaling pathway were upregulated in E. sinensis under 93 days of deltamethrin stress. EsAMPK and its regulated growth inhibition genes were down-regulated after the knockdown of genes in the Toll pathway. In summary, the crosstalk between the Toll and AMPK signaling pathways mediates the growth inhibition of E. sinensis under deltamethrin stress.

Abstract
Recent advances in viromics have led to the discovery of a great diversity of RNA viruses and the identification of a large number of viral pathogens. A systematic exploration of viruses in Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), one of the most important aquatic commercial species, is still lacking. Here, we characterized the RNA viromes of asymptomatic, milky disease (MD)-affected, and hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome (HPNS)-affected Chinese mitten crabs collected from 3 regions in China. In total, we identified 31 RNA viruses belonging to 11 orders, 22 of which were first reported here. By comparing viral composition between samples, we observed high variation in viral communities across regions, with most of the viral species being region-specific. We proposed to establish several novel viral families or genera based on the phylogenetic relationships and genome structures of viruses discovered in this study, expanding our knowledge of viral diversity in brachyuran crustaceans. IMPORTANCE High-throughput sequencing and meta-transcriptomic analysis provide us with an efficient tool to discover unknown viruses and explore the composition of viral communities in specific species. In this study, we investigated viromes in asymptomatic and diseased Chinese mitten crabs collected from three distant locations. We observed high regional variation in the composition of viral species, highlighting the importance of multi-location sampling. In addition, we classified several novel and ICTV-unclassified viruses based on their genome structures and phylogenetic relationships, providing a new perspective on current viral taxa.

Abstract
The occurrence of hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome (HPNS) has seriously affected the sustainable development of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) farming industry. Limited studies have focused on the immune responses in crabs with HPNS. Serine proteases (SPs) and SP homologues (SPHs) play important roles in the innate immunity of crustaceans. This study investigated the effects of HPNS on the expression levels of genes related to prophenoloxidase (proPO) activation system, and the relationship between Runt transcription factor and the transcriptions of these genes. Eight SPs and five SPHs (SPH1-4, Mas) were identified from E. sinensis. SPs contain a catalytic triad of "HDS", while SPHs lack a catalytic residue. SPs and SPHs all contain a conservative Tryp_SPc domain. Evolutionary analysis showed that EsSPs, EsSPHs, EsPO, and EsRunt were clustered with SPs, SPHs, POs, and Runts of other arthropods, respectively. In crabs with HPNS, the expression levels of six SPs (1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8), five SPHs, and PO were significantly upregulated in the hepatopancreas. The knockdown of EsRunt could evidently decrease the expression levels of four SPs (3, 4, 5 and 8), five SPHs (SPH1-4, Mas), and PO. Therefore, the occurrence of HPNS activates the proPO system. Furthermore, the expression levels of partial genes related to proPO system were regulated by Runt. The activation of innate immune system may be a strategy for crabs with HPNS to improve immunity and fight diseases. Our study provides a new understanding of the relationship between HPNS and innate immunity.

Effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation on apoptosis, oxidative stress, immune response and gut microbiota of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 260:106556. [PMID: 37182272 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Hypoxia causes irreversible damage to aquatic animals. However, few reports have explored the effect of hypoxia stress and reoxygenation on intestinal homeostatic imbalance and consequent hepatopancreas-intestine axis health in crustacean. Herein, 180 Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) were equally divided into control (DO 7.0 ± 0.2 mg/L) and treatment groups. The treatment group was exposed with continuous hypoxic stress (DO 3.0 ± 0.1 mg/L) for 96 h and then reoxygenated (DO 6.9 ± 0.1 mg/L) for 96 h. The effects on intestines and hepatopancreas of Chinese mitten crab were investigated, and the role of gut microbiota in hypoxia induced damages was explored. Hypoxia impaired intestinal tissue structure, and decreased swelling and the number of goblet cells, which are features that did not significantly improve after reoxygenation. With prolonged hypoxic stress, the activities of antioxidant enzymes (LDH, SOD and CAT) and MDA content in intestine were significantly elevated. Moreover, the level of oxidative stress increased, which led to upregulated apoptosis rate and expression of apoptosis-related genes (Caspase 3, Caspase 8 and BAX). In addition, the expression of immune related genes (MyD88, ALF1, Relish and Crustin) in hepatopancreas and intestine was both significantly induced under hypoxia, which activated the immune defense mechanism of Chinese mitten crab to adapt to the hypoxic environment. Furthermore, diversity and relative abundance of gut microbiota decreased noticeably during hypoxic stress; the number of beneficial bacteria downregulated. Finally, KEGG pathway analysis revealed that nine pathways were significantly enriched in intestinal microorganisms, including autoimmune disease and environmental adaptation. Collectively, these results suggested that hypoxia negatively affected E. sinensis health by triggering oxidative stress, altering the composition of the gut microbiota and inhibiting the immune response.

Abstract
Proteins of Spätzle family play an essential role in innate immunity in invertebrates by activating the Toll pathway to induce the expression of antimicrobial peptides. However, little is known about the function of Spätzle in in the immune response of the Chinese mitten crab. In the present study, three novel Spätzle genes (named as EsSpz1, EsSpz2, and EsSpz3) were identified from Eriocheir sinensis. The genome structure of EsSpz1 contains two exons and an intron. Three Spätzle proteins all contain a Pfam Spaetzle domain. In the evolution, EsSpz1-3 cluster with other Spätzle proteins from crustaceans. EsSpz1-3 were widely distributed in multiple immune tissues. The expression levels of EsSpz1-3 in the intestine were remarkably upregulated after white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) challenge. The knockdown of EsSpz1-3 remarkably decreased the expressions of crustins and anti-lipopolysaccharide factors during WSSV infection. Moreover, EsSpz1-3 silencing remarkably increased the expression of WSSV envelope protein VP28. These findings suggest that new-found EsSpz1-3 in E. sinensis could promote the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides and inhibit the expression of VP28 during WSSV infection. Our study indicates that EsSpz1-3 in E. sinensis may participate in the innate immune defenses against WSSV by inducing the expression of antimicrobial peptides. This study provides new knowledge for the function of Spätzle in the antiviral immune defense in crustacean.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (HPND) is a highly lethal disease that first emerged in 2015 in Jiangsu Province, China. So far, most researchers believe that this disease is caused by abiotic factors. However, its true pathogenic mechanism remains unknown. In this study, the effects of HPND on the metabolism and other biological indicators of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) were evaluated by integrating transcriptomics and metabolomics. Our findings demonstrate that the innate immunity, antioxidant activity, detoxification ability, and nervous system of the diseased crabs were affected. Additionally, metabolic pathways such as lipid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and protein metabolism were dysregulated, and energy production was slightly increased. Moreover, the IL-17 signaling pathway was activated and high levels of autophagy and apoptosis occurred in diseased crabs, which may be related to hepatopancreas damage. The abnormal mitochondrial function and possible anaerobic metabolism observed in our study suggested that functional hypoxia may be involved in HPND progression. Furthermore, the activities of carboxylesterase and acetylcholinesterase were significantly inhibited, indicating that the diseased crabs were likely stressed by pesticides such as pyrethroids. Collectively, our findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms altered in diseased crabs, as well as the etiology and pathogenic mechanisms of HPND.

Abstract
Hepatopancreas necrosis disease (HPND) is a highly fatal disease that first appeared in Jiangsu Province, China, in 2015, and later spread to many other provinces, which had a severe impact on the culture of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). Here, changes in the intestinal flora of healthy and HPND-affected Chinese mitten crabs were compared via 16S rRNA sequencing. Our findings indicated that Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, and Proteobacteria were the three dominant phyla in both healthy and HPND-affected crabs and exhibited no significant differences in α-diversity (richness p = 0.0892; evenness and diversity p = 0.0630). Furthermore, there were no significant changes in the abundance of Proteobacteria between the experimental groups. However, the abundance of Bacteroidota in the HPND group was significantly higher than that of the control group (HPND: 30.12%, Control: 16.60%), whereas the abundance of Firmicutes was significantly lower (HPND: 29.90%, Control: 50.55%). At the genus level, the abundance of Candidatus Bacilloplasma, Desulfovibrio, Bacteroides, and Aeromonas also differed significantly between groups (P < 0.05). Collectively, our study confirms an imbalance in the gut microbiota of Chinese mitten crabs with HPND and we speculate that this alteration may affect the metabolism and immune function of these organisms. Furthermore, we suspect that the structural changes in the intestinal flora of sick crabs observed in our study may be related to HPND.

Tachaea chinensis, a parasitic isopod, negatively affects the production of several commercially important shrimp species. To better understand the interaction between shrimp immunity and isopod infection, we performed a transcriptome analysis of the hepatopancreas of Palaemonetes sinensis challenged with T. chinensis. After assembly and annotation, 75,980 high-quality unigenes were obtained using RNA-seq data. Differential gene expression analysis revealed 896 significantly differently expressed genes (DEGs) after infection, with 452 and 444 upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively. Specifically, expression levels of genes involved in detoxification, such as the interferon regulatory factor, venom carboxylesterase-6, serine proteinase inhibitor, and cytochrome P450, were upregulated. Furthermore, expression levels of genes corresponding to retinol dehydrogenase, triosephosphate isomerase, variant ionotropic glutamate receptor, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were significantly upregulated after isopod parasitization, indicating that the shrimp's visual system was influenced by isopod parasitization. Moreover, quantitative real-time PCR of 10 DEGs helped validate the RNA-seq findings. These results provide a valuable basis for future studies on the elucidation of immune responses of P. sinensis to T. chinensis infection.

Evaluation of pathology and environmental variables contributing to hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 215:112157.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Syndrome (HPNS) severely impacts the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) industry. However, little knowledge of the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease causes significant difficulties in its prevention and control. In this study, we conducted a pathological analysis of HPNS through time-integrated large-volume sampling, to clarify the disease characteristics and mechanism of HPNS-afflicted crabs; besides, animal models were constructed to verify the pathological diagnosis. The results showed that the hepatopancreas was the principal target organ of HPNS; multiple correspondence analysis revealed that the main histopathological characteristics included non-interstitial atrophic hepatopathy diseases such as hepatic tubule atrophy, dilated hepatic tubules, and hepatic tubule necrosis. Additionally, the muscles also showed signs of disease, including myofibre atrophy, necrosis, and inflammation. Ultrastructural studies showed prominent apoptosis and autophagy-like alterations in the hepatopancreas of HPNS-afflicted crabs. Further, the establishment of animal models revealed that the double variate stimulation of environmental variables such as abamectin/sewage with nutrition deficiency could result in HPNS-similar lesions. Based on these studies, we concluded that HPNS is a chronic hepatopancreas-initiated energy-consumed disease with a low likelihood of pathogen but a high probability of environment and nutrition.

Abstract
In the present study, we used RNA-Seq to investigate the expression changes in the transcriptomes of two molting stages (postmolt (M) and intermolt (NM)) of the red swamp crayfish and identified differentially expressed genes. The transcriptomes of the two molting stages were de novo assembled into 139,100 unigenes with a mean length of 675.59 bp. The results were searched against the NCBI, NR, KEGG, Swissprot, and KOG databases, to annotate gene descriptions, associate them with gene ontology terms, and assign them to pathways. Furthermore, using the DESeq R package, differentially expressed genes were evaluated. The analysis revealed that 2347 genes were significantly (p > 0.05) differentially expressed in the two molting stages. Several genes and other factors involved in several molecular events critical for the molting process, such as energy requirements, hormonal regulation, immune response, and exoskeleton formation were identified and evaluated by correlation and KEGG analysis. The expression profiles of transcripts detected via RNA-Seq were validated by real-time PCR assay of eight genes. The information presented here provides a transient view of the hepatopancreas transcripts available in the postmolt and intermolt stage of crayfish, hormonal regulation, immune response, and skeletal-related activities during the postmolt stage and the intermolt stage.

Metatranscriptomic Analysis Reveals an Imbalance of Hepatopancreatic Flora of Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis with Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10060462. [PMID: 34071147 PMCID: PMC8224665 DOI: 10.3390/biology10060462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary The cause of Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis hepatopancreas necrosis disease (HPND) remains a mystery. In this study, metatranscriptomics sequencing was conducted to characterize the changes in the structure and gene expression of hepatopancreatic flora of crabs with and without typical symptoms of HPND; an imbalance of hepatopancreatic flora can be found in the crab with HPND, and the detected microbial taxa decreased, whereas the prevalence of Spiroplasma eriocheiris significantly increased in the hepatopancreatic flora of crabs with typical symptoms of HPND, and the relative abundances of the virus and microsporidia in crabs with HPND were very low and did not increase with disease progression. The differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in hepatopancreatic flora between crabs with and without HPND were enriched ribosome, retinol metabolism, and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acid KEGG pathways. These results suggested that an imbalance of hepatopancreatic flora was associated with crab HPND, and the enriched pathways of DEGs were associated with the pathological mechanism of HPND. Abstract Hepatopancreas necrosis disease (HPND) of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis causes huge economic loss in China. However, the pathogenic factors and pathogenesis are still a matter of dissension. To search for potential pathogens, the hepatopancreatic flora of diseased crabs with mild symptoms, diseased crabs with severe symptoms, and crabs without visible symptoms were investigated using metatranscriptomics sequencing. The prevalence of Absidia glauca and Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum decreased, whereas the prevalence of Spiroplasma eriocheiris increased in the hepatopancreatic flora of crabs with HPND. Homologous sequences of 34 viral species and 4 Microsporidian species were found in the crab hepatopancreas without any significant differences between crabs with and without HPND. Moreover, DEGs in the hepatopancreatic flora between crabs with severe symptoms and without visible symptoms were enriched in the ribosome, retinol metabolism, metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, drug metabolism—cytochrome P450, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and other glycan degradation. Moreover, the relative abundance of functions of DEDs in the hepatopancreatic flora changed with the pathogenesis process. These results suggested that imbalance of hepatopancreatic flora was associated with crab HPND. The identified DEGs were perhaps involved in the pathological mechanism of HPND; nonetheless, HPND did not occur due to virus or microsporidia infection.

Abstract
Background Fish gut microbial assemblages play a crucial role in the growth rate, metabolism, and immunity of the host. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota of rainbow trout was correlated with breeding program based genetic selection for muscle yield. To test this hypothesis, fecal samples from 19 fish representing an F2 high-muscle genetic line (ARS-FY-H) and 20 fish representing an F1 low-muscle yield genetic line (ARS-FY-L) were chosen for microbiota profiling using the 16S rRNA gene. Significant differences in microbial assemblages between these two genetic lines might represent the effect of host genetic selection in structuring the gut microbiota of the host. Results Tukey’s transformed inverse Simpson indices indicated that high muscle yield genetic line (ARS-FY-H) samples have higher microbial diversity compared to those of the low muscle yield genetic line (ARS-FY-L) (LMM, χ2(1) =14.11, p < 0.05). The fecal samples showed statistically distinct structure in microbial assemblages between the genetic lines (F1,36 = 4.7, p < 0.05, R2 = 11.9%). Functional profiling of bacterial operational taxonomic units predicted characteristic functional capabilities of the microbial communities in the high (ARS-FY-H) and low (ARS-FY-L) muscle yield genetic line samples. Conclusion The significant differences of the microbial assemblages between high (ARS-FY-H) and low (ARS-FY-L) muscle yield genetic lines indicate a possible effect of genetic selection on the microbial diversity of the host. The functional composition of taxa demonstrates a correlation between bacteria and improving the muscle accretion in the host, probably, by producing various metabolites and enzymes that might aid in digestion. Further research is required to elucidate the mechanisms involved in shaping the microbial community through host genetic selection.

Abstract
The gut microbiota plays an important role in a variety of physiological functions such as intestinal digestion, metabolic homeostasis, immune response, and responses to disease treatment. Whether there is a relationship between gut microbial communities and fatty acid (FA) profiles of Chinese mitten crab is unclear. Hence, we analyzed the relationship between FA profiles and the gut bacterial communities of six Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) populations from different lakes. The crabs were sampled from six different lakes in Jiangsu Province, China. The FA profiles of these crab populations were compared and clustered, and then used to determine the relationship between geographic location and FA composition. We also characterized the gut microbial communities of these crabs using 16S rRNA high-throughput gene sequencing. The FA profiles varied significantly (P < 0.05) between crabs from different geographical locations. A similar trend was also observed in the gut microbial communities, which also varied significantly based on their geographical origin (P < 0.05). Furthermore, alpha diversity, cluster analysis, and matching bacterial community structures with specific locations revealed patterns that significantly linked FA profiles to the gut microbiota. Further analysis of FA profiles and gut microbial community generated patterns that linked the two parameters. Hence, it was observed that the gut microbial community seems to contribute significantly to the FA composition of the Chinese mitten crab. However, further studies need to be conducted to investigate the interactions between gut microbial communities and the biochemical composition of the Chinese mitten crab, which will ultimately unravel the complexity of microbial ecosystems for potential applications in aquaculture and species conservation.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a multifunctional protein superfamily that can catalyze the detoxification processes in an organism. In the present study, we determined the structure and function of GSTs in Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) by gene cloning, expression, and enzyme activity in order to investigate the metabolic detoxification of GSTs in the hepatopancreas and muscles under three pesticide (trichlorfon, β-cypermethrin and avermectin) stresses. Multiple sequence alignment analysis showed that all the three Es-GST genes possessed N-terminal, and C-terminal domain as well as G-binding sites, while Es-GST2 and Es-GST3 contained Mu-type GST-specific Mu-loop structures. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the three Es-GSTs belonged to the Mu-type GST of crustaceans. The quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the three Es-GSTS were expressed in 9 tissues of Eriocheir sinensis, with highest expression in hepatopancreas and muscle. The expression of the three Es-GSTS significantly increased in the hepatopancreas and muscle under the three pesticide stresses compared to the control group, and a steady increase in GST activity was observed. The study showed that the three Es-GSTs belong to the Mu-type GST of the crustaceans and might play an important role in the metabolic detoxification in Eriocheir sinensis.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (HPND) is a newly emerging disease in the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, which has resulted in large economic losses. However, the underlying cause of this disease remains unclear. To better understand the pathogenesis and pathogenic mechanism of HPND, we compared the transcriptome differences of the hepatopancreas of E. sinensis with and without HPND. The analysis yielded > 30 million reads for each sample of three test (with HPND) and three control groups (without HPND). We observed 978 downregulated genes and 644 upregulated genes. Among the gene ontology categories "biological process," "cellular component," and "molecular function", the subcategories cellular process, single-organism process, biological regulation, metabolic process, cell part, organelle, organelle part, binding, and catalytic were enriched. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that "metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450," "drug metabolism-cytochrome P450," "chemical carcinogenesis," and "material metabolism" were the "five" most significantly enriched pathways in the hepatopancreas of E. sinensis with HPND. The results revealed that material metabolic abnormalities and drug effects from the external environment might be associated with HPND in the Chinese mitten crab. Considering the wide use of pyrethroids for pond cleaning in Xinghua city, we speculated that pyrethroids might cause HPND in the Chinese mitten crab. Our study provided useful information about the cause and pathogenetic mechanisms of HPND and could help to prevent this disease in production practice.

Hong Y, Huang Y, Yan G, Huang Z. Effects of deltamethrin on the antioxidant defense and heat shock protein expression in Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2019; 66:1-6. [PMID: 30584970 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2018.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2018] [Revised: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 12/18/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, the status of antioxidant response and molecular regulation in Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis under the exposure of synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin were investigated by means of measuring the antioxidative enzyme activity and relative mRNA expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in hepatopancreas. The results showed that activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) decreased remarkably in all treatments except the SOD activity at concentration of 0.073 μg/L. The oxidative stress products malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) increased significantly at high concentrations while no significant difference was observed at concentrations of 0.073 and 0.146 μg/L throughout the experiment. Meanwhile, the relative mRNA expression of HSP 60, HSP 70 and HSP 90 was significantly up-regulated in all treatments at each time point. All resutls above indicated that deltamethrin has prominent toxic effect on E. sinensis based on antioxidative enzyme inhibition and oxidative products accumulation at environmental related concentrations, and a protective response by up-regulation of HSPs was carried out by animals to mitigate the oxidative stress. In addition, SOD, CAT, MDA, H2O2 and the expression of heat shock proteins, especially HSP 70 in hepatopancreas could be sensitive biomarkers in the assessment of toxic effect of deltamethrin on E.sinensis.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 84:1007-1017. [PMID: 30381266 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.10.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2018] [Revised: 10/17/2018] [Accepted: 10/26/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the influence of L-tryptophan (L-trp) on the survival, immune response and gut microbiota of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (with an average weight of 16.58 ± 2.20 g). After 30 days of feeding with diets supplemented with L-trp at 0.36%, 0.47%, 0.73% and 1.05% (groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively), the survival rate and bacterial challenge (Aeromonas hydrophila) were evaluated, the activities of antioxidant and phosphatase enzymes in the serum were assessed, and the gut microbiota were measured via high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The results showed that the supplementation of L-trp significantly improved the survival rate of crabs (P < 0.05). After feeding for 7 days, it was observed that a high L-trp diet significantly increase the survival rate relative to a basal diet after a 96-h post-challenge with A. hydrophila (P < 0.05). The activity of CAT and AKP in the serum were increased by the addition of L-trp. The activity of CAT and AKP in the serum in group 4 were higher than those in group 1 (P < 0.05). Furthermore, we observed that adjunction of the L-trp can significantly increase the richness and diversity of the gut microbiota. The dominant phylum in the intestine of the Chinese mitten crab were Tenericutes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Chloroflexi and Actinobacteria. The L-trp in the diets increased the richness of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria in the intestine significantly. These bacteria were all dominant bacteria and had a specific role in promoting the immunity of E. sinensis. Therefore, it could be inferred that L-trp supplementation is beneficial in the diet of E. sinensis. Based in these results, the dietary 0.47% or 0.73%L-trp supplemented is found to be optimum to improve E. sinensis survival.

Abstract
As an important organ to maintain the host's homeostasis, intestinal microbes play an important role in development of the organism. In contrast to those of terrestrial animals, the intestinal microbes of aquatic organisms are affected by environmental microorganisms (including water microorganisms and sediment microorganisms). In the present study, the compositional differences of intestinal microbes in three representative developmental stages of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) were studied. Meanwhile, network association analysis, and visualization of the water microorganisms of the crabs’ habitat, the environment microorganisms in the pond, and the intestinal microbes, was carried out. The results showed that the gut microbiota diversity index decreased continuously with age, and the four bacteria of Aeromonas (Proteobacteria), Defluviitaleaceae (Firmicutes), Candidatus Bacilloplasma (Tenericutes), and Dysgonomonas (Bacteroidetes) were the “indigenous” flora of the crab. In the network‐related analysis with the environment, we found that as the culture time increased, the effect of environmental microorganisms on the intestinal microbes of crabs gradually decreased, and the four “indigenous” bacteria were always unaffected by the environmental microorganisms. The results of this study identified the core bacteria of the crab and, for the first time, studied the relationship between intestinal environmental microorganisms, which will aid the practical production of crabs and will promote research into the relationship between specific bacteria and the physiological metabolism of crabs.
