[PMID: 38158015 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.105062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Mytilus coruscus is an economically important marine bivalve that lives in estuarine sea areas with seasonal coastal acidification and frequently suffers shell injury in the natural environment. However, the molecular responses and biochemical properties of Mytilus under these conditions are not fully understood. In the present study, we employed tandem mass spectrometry combined with isobaric tagging to identify differentially expressed proteins in the mantle tissue of M. coruscus under different short-term treatments, including shell-complete mussels raised in normal seawater (pH 8.1), shell-damaged mussels raised in normal seawater (pH 8.1), and acidified seawater (pH 7.4). A total of 2694 proteins were identified in the mantle, and analysis of their relative abundance from the three different treatments revealed alterations in the proteins involved in immune regulation, oxidation-reduction processes, protein folding and processing, energy provision, and cytoskeleton. The results obtained by quantitative proteomic analysis of the mantle allowed us to delineate the molecular strategies adopted by M. coruscus in the shell repair process in acidified environments, including an increase in proteins involved in oxidation-reduction processes, protein processing, and cell growth at the expense of proteins involved in immune capacity and energy metabolism. SIGNIFICANCE: The impact of global ocean acidification on calcifying organisms has become a major ecological and environmental problem in the world. Mytilus coruscus is an economically important marine bivalve living in estuary sea area with seasonal coastal acidification, and frequently suffering shell injury in natural environment. Molecular responses of M coruscus under the shell damage and acute acidification is still largely unknown. For this reason, iTRAQ based quantitative proteomic and histological analysis of the mantle from M. coruscus under shell damage and acute acidification were performed, for revealing the proteomic response and possible adaptation mechanism of Mytilus under combined shell damage and acidified sea water, and understanding how the mussel mantle implement a shell-repair process under acidified sea water. Our study provides important data for understanding the shell repair process and proteomic response of Mytilus under ocean acidification, and providing insights into potential adaptation of mussels to future global change.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:18101. [PMID: 37872161 PMCID: PMC10593848 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-43071-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Pomacea canaliculata was by far one of the most harmful invasive organisms in the world, causing serious harm to aquatic crops and ecosystem. Calcium carbonate is a common component of aquatic environment, which is important for the growth of Pomacea canaliculata. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the response characteristics of P. canaliculata suffered shell breakage to the addition of calcium carbonate in water environment. In this experiment, we explored the effects of calcium carbonate addition on the P. canaliculata shell repair rate, food intake, egg production, shell strength, and calcium content through breaking the snails shell and the addition of calcium carbonate treatment. The results showed that snail broken-shell repaired mostly within 21 days. The snails experienced a significant increase in shell repair rates during earlier days of the treatment, especially for female snails. Food intake of snails exhibited different patterns when their shells were broken and calcium carbonate was added. Shell breakage treatment combined with calcium carbonate addition significantly increased the diameter of snail eggs compared with the control and the calcium carbonate addition treatment without shell-broken snail group. There was no significant difference in shell strength or calcium content of male snails between the treatments. The study suggests that P. canaliculata exhibits a sex-dependent response pattern when subjected to shell damage and calcium carbonate addition. The findings can provide some references to better understand the invasion mechanism and survival strategy of the P. canaliculata.

RNAi Silencing of the Biomineralization Gene Perlucin Impairs Oyster Ability to Cope with Ocean Acidification. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043661. [PMID: 36835072 PMCID: PMC9961701 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Calcifying marine organisms, including the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), are vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA) because it is more difficult to precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Previous investigations of the molecular mechanisms associated with resilience to OA in C. virginica demonstrated significant differences in single nucleotide polymorphism and gene expression profiles among oysters reared under ambient and OA conditions. Converged evidence generated by both of these approaches highlighted the role of genes related to biomineralization, including perlucins. Here, gene silencing via RNA interference (RNAi) was used to evaluate the protective role of a perlucin gene under OA stress. Larvae were exposed to short dicer-substrate small interfering RNA (DsiRNA-perlucin) to silence the target gene or to one of two control treatments (control DsiRNA or seawater) before cultivation under OA (pH ~7.3) or ambient (pH ~8.2) conditions. Two transfection experiments were performed in parallel, one during fertilization and one during early larval development (6 h post-fertilization), before larval viability, size, development, and shell mineralization were monitored. Silenced oysters under acidification stress were the smallest, had shell abnormalities, and had significantly reduced shell mineralization, thereby suggesting that perlucin significantly helps larvae mitigate the effects of OA.
