Abstract
The white shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei is the most cultivated shrimp worldwide. Compared to other shrimp species, it has higher resistance to adverse conditions. During hypoxia, the shrimp reduces oxygen consumption and adjusts energy metabolism via anaerobic glycolysis, among other strategies. Hexokinase (HK) is the first enzyme of glycolysis and a key regulation point. In mammals and other vertebrates, there are several tissue-specific HK isoforms with differences in expression and enzyme activity. In contrast, crustacean HKs have been relatively little studied. We studied the P. vannamei HK isoforms during hypoxia and reoxygenation. We cloned two HK1 sequences named HK1-long (1455 bp) and HK1-short (1302 bp), and one HK2 (1344 bp). In normoxia, total HK1 expression is higher in hepatopancreas, while HK2 is higher in gills. Severe hypoxia (1 mg/L of DO) after 12 h exposure and 1 h of reoxygenation increased HK1 expression in both organs, but HK2 expression changed differentially. In hepatopancreas, HK2 expression increased in 6 and 12 h of hypoxia but diminished to normoxia levels after reoxygenation. In gills, HK2 expression decreased after 12 h of hypoxia. HK activity increased in hepatopancreas after 12 h hypoxia, opposite to gills. These results indicate that shrimp HK isoforms respond to hypoxia and reoxygenation in a tissue-specific manner. Intracellular glucose levels did not change in any case, showing the shrimp ability to maintain glucose homeostasis during hypoxia.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) are important antioxidant enzymes that act at distinct levels of the antioxidant defense. In vertebrates, there are several glutathione peroxidase (GPx) isoforms with different cellular and tissue distribution, but little is known about their interrelationships. The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the main crustacean cultivated worldwide. It is affected by environmental stressors, including hypoxia and reoxygenation that cause reactive oxygen species accumulation. Thus, the antioxidant response modulation is key for shrimp resilience. Recently, several GPx isoforms genes were identified in the L. vannamei genome sequence, but their functions are just beginning to be studied. As in vertebrates, shrimp GPx isoforms can present differences in their antioxidant responses. Also, there could be interrelationships among the isoforms that may influence their responses. We evaluated shrimp GPx2 and GPx4 expressions during hypoxia, reoxygenation, and GPx4 knock-down using RNAi for silencing, as well as the enzymatic activity of total GPx and GPx4. Also, glutathione content in hepatopancreas was evaluated. GPx2 and GPx4 presented similar expression patterns during hypoxia and reoxygenation. Their expressions decreased during hypoxia and were reestablished in reoxygenation at 6 h in non-silenced shrimp. GPx2 expression was down-regulated by GPx4 knock-down, suggesting that GPx4 affects GPx2 expression. Total GPx activity changed in hypoxia and reoxygenation at 6 h but not at 12 h, while GPx4 activity was not affected by any stressor. The GSH/GSSG ratio in hepatopancreas indicated that at early hours, the redox status remains well-modulated but at 12 h it is impaired by hypoxia and reoxygenation.

Abstract
The white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is exposed to hypoxic conditions in natural habitats and in shrimp farms. Hypoxia can retard growth, development and affect survival in shrimp. The hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) regulates many genes involved in glucose metabolism, antioxidant proteins, including metallothionein (MT) and apoptosis. In previous studies we found that the L. vannamei MT gene expression changed during hypoxia, and MT silencing altered cell apoptosis; in this study we investigated whether the silencing of HIF-1 affected MT expression and apoptosis. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was used to silence HIF-1α and HIF-1β under normoxia, hypoxia, and hypoxia plus reoxygenation. Expression of HIF-1α, HIF-1β and MT, and apoptosis in hemocytes or caspase-3 expression in gills, were measured at 0, 3, 24 and 48 h of hypoxia and hypoxia followed by 1 h of reoxygenation. The results showed that hemocytes HIF-1α expression was induced during hypoxia and reoxygenation at 3 h, while HIF-1β decreased at 24 and 48 h. In normoxia, HIF-1 silencing in hemocytes increased apoptosis at 3 h and decreased at 48 h; while in gills, caspase-3 increased at 3, 24 and 48 h. In hypoxia, HIF-1 silencing decreased apoptosis in hemocytes at 3 h, but caspase-3 increased in gills. During reoxygenation, apoptosis in hemocytes and caspase-3 in gills increased. During normoxia in hemocytes, silencing of HIF-1 decreased MT expression, but in gills, MT increased. During hypoxia and reoxygenation, silencing induced MT in hemocytes and gills. These results indicate HIF-1 differential participation in MT expression regulation and apoptosis during different oxygen conditions.

Abstract
The white shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei is the most economically important crustacean species cultivated in the Western Hemisphere. This crustacean shifts its metabolism to survive under extreme environmental conditions such as hypoxia, although for a limited time. Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is a key enzyme contributing to maintain blood glucose homeostasis through gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. To our knowledge, there are no current detailed studies about cDNA or gene sequences of G6Pase from any crustacean reported. Herein we report the shrimp P. (L.) vannamei cDNA and gene sequences. The gene contains seven exons interrupted by six introns. The deduced amino acid sequence has 35% identity to other homolog proteins, with the catalytic amino acids conserved and phylogenetically close to the corresponding invertebrate homologs. Protein molecular modeling predicted eight transmembrane helices with the catalytic site oriented towards the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. G6Pase expression under normoxic conditions was evaluated in hepatopancreas, gills, and muscle and the highest transcript abundance was detected in hepatopancreas. In response to different times of hypoxia, G6Pase mRNA expression did not change in hepatopancreas and became undetectable in muscle; however, in gills, its expression increased after 3 h and 24 h of oxygen limitation, indicating its essential role to maintain glycemic control in these conditions.

Abstract
Climate warming has been increasing ocean water temperature and decreasing oxygen concentrations, exposing aquatic organisms to environmental stress conditions. The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei manages to survive these harsh environmental conditions by enhancing their antioxidant defenses, among other strategies. In this study, we report the mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (mMnSOD) nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences and its gene expression in L. vannamei tissues. The deduced protein has 220 amino acids with a signal peptide of 20 amino acids. Expression of mMnSOD was analyzed in hepatopancreas, gills and muscle, where gills had highest expression in normoxic conditions. In addition, shrimp were subjected to high temperature, hypoxia and reoxygenation to analyze the effect on the expression of mMnSOD and SOD activity in mitochondria. High temperature and hypoxia showed a synergistic effect in the up-regulation on expression of mMnSOD in gills and hepatopancreas. Moreover, induction in SOD activity was found in the mitochondrial fraction from gills of normoxia at high temperature, probably due to an overproduction of reactive oxygen species caused by an elevated metabolic rate due to the stress temperature. These results suggest that the combined stress conditions of hypoxia and high temperature trigger molecularly the antioxidant response in L. vannamei in a higher degree than only one stressor.

Abstract
Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional factor that induces genes involved in glucose metabolism. HIF-1 is formed by a regulatory α-subunit (HIF-1α) and a constitutive β-subunit (HIF-1β). The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) induces a shift in glucose metabolism and oxidative stress. HIF-1α is associated with the induction of metabolic changes in tissues of WSSV-infected shrimp. However, the contributions of HIF-1 to viral load and antioxidant responses in WSSV-infected shrimp have been not examined. In this study, the effect of HIF-1 silencing on viral load and the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase-SOD, glutathione S-transferase-GST, and catalase) along with oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl) in tissues of white shrimp infected with the WSSV were studied. The viral load increased in hepatopancreas and muscle after WSSV infection, and the accumulative mortality was of 100% at 72 h post-infection. The expression and activity of SOD, catalase, and GST decreased in each tissue evaluated after WSSV infection. Protein carbonyl concentrations increased in each tissue after WSSV infection, while lipid peroxidation increased in hepatopancreas, but not in muscle. Silencing of HIF-1α decreased the WSSV viral load in hepatopancreas and muscle of infected shrimp along with shrimp mortality. Silencing of HIF-1α ameliorated the antioxidant response in a tissue-specific manner, which translated to a decrease in oxidative damage. These results suggest that HIF-1 is essential for restoring the antioxidant response, which counters the oxidative injury associated with WSSV infection.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is key for anaerobic glycolysis. LDH is induced by the hypoxia inducible factor -1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 induces genes involved in glucose metabolism and regulates cellular oxygen homeostasis. HIF-1 is formed by a regulatory α-subunit (HIF-1α) and a constitutive β-subunit (HIF-1β). The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) induces anaerobic glycolysis in shrimp hemocytes, associated with lactate accumulation. Although infection and lactate production are associated, the LDH role in WSSV-infected shrimp has not been examined. In this work, the effects of HIF-1 silencing on the expression of two LDH subunits (LDHvan-1 and LDHvan-2) in shrimp infected with the WSSV were studied. HIF-1α transcripts increased in gills, hepatopancreas, and muscle after WSSV infection, while HIF-1β remained constitutively expressed. The expression for both LDH subunits increased in each tissue evaluated during the WSSV infection, translating into increased enzyme activity. Glucose concentration increased in each tissue evaluated, while lactate increased in gills and hepatopancreas, but not in muscle. Silencing of HIF-1α blocked the increase of LDH expression and enzyme activity, along with glucose (all tissues) and lactate (gills and hepatopancreas) concentrations produced by WSSV infection. These results demonstrate that HIF-1 up regulates the expression of LDH subunits during WSSV infection, and that this induction contributes to substrate metabolism in energetically active tissues of infected shrimp.

Abstract
The cellular mechanisms used by the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei to respond to hypoxia have been studied from the energetic metabolism and antioxidant angles. We herein investigated the participation of p53 and metallothionein (MT) in the apoptotic process in response to hypoxia in shrimp hemocytes. The Lvp53 or LvMT genes were efficiently silenced by injection of double stranded RNA for p53 or MT. The effects of silencing on apoptosis were measured as caspase-3 activity and flow cytometry in hemocytes after 24 and 48 h of hypoxia (1.5 mg DO L(-1)). Hemocytes from unsilenced animals had significantly higher apoptosis levels upon both times of hypoxia. The apoptotic levels were diminished but not suppressed in dsp53-silenced but not dsMT-silenced hemocytes after 24 h of hypoxia, indicating a contribution of Lvp53 to apoptosis. Apoptosis in normoxia was significantly higher in dsp53-and dsMT-silenced animals compared to the unsilenced controls, pointing to a possible cytoprotective role of LvMT and Lvp53 during the basal apoptotic program in normoxia. Overall, these results indicate that hypoxia augments apoptosis in shrimp hemocytes and high mRNA levels of Lvp53 and LvMT are not necessary for this response.

Abstract
During hypoxia the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei accelerates anaerobic glycolysis to obtain energy; therefore, a correct supply of glucose to the cells is needed. Facilitated glucose transport across the cells is mediated by a group of membrane embedded integral proteins called GLUT; being GLUT1 the most ubiquitous form. In this work, we report the first cDNA nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of a glucose transporter 1 from L. vannamei. A 1619 bp sequence was obtained by RT-PCR and RACE approaches. The 5´ UTR is 161 bp and the poly A tail is exactly after the stop codon in the mRNA. The ORF is 1485 bp and codes for 485 amino acids. The deduced protein sequence has high identity to GLUT1 proteins from several species and contains all the main features of glucose transporter proteins, including twelve transmembrane domains, the conserved motives and amino acids involved in transport activity, ligands binding and membrane anchor. Therefore, we decided to name this sequence, glucose transporter 1 of L. vannamei (LvGLUT1). A partial gene sequence of 8.87 Kbp was also obtained; it contains the complete coding sequence divided in 10 exons. LvGlut1 expression was detected in hemocytes, hepatopancreas, intestine gills, muscle and pleopods. The higher relative expression was found in gills and the lower in hemocytes. This indicates that LvGlut1 is ubiquitously expressed but its levels are tissue-specific and upon short-term hypoxia, the GLUT1 transcripts increase 3.7-fold in hepatopancreas and gills. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of expression of GLUT1 in crustaceans.

Abstract
This study aimed to quantify the accumulation and elimination of Enrofloxacin (ENRO) and Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) in cultivated Litopenaeus vannamei under controlled laboratory and farm conditions. Laboratory- and farm-raised shrimp were given feed supplemented with 200 mg/kg ENRO for 14 days, followed by a 16-day diet without antibiotics. The levels of ENRO and CIPRO were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In the laboratory, ENRO concentrations in the muscle and hepatopancreas reached a maximum (Cmax) of 0.54 ± 0.26 μg/g and 3.52 ± 1.9 μg/g, respectively; Cmax values for CIPRO in the laboratory were 0.18 ± 0.13 μg/g (muscle) and 1.05 ± 0.20 μg/g (hepatopancreas). In farmed shrimp, Cmax values for ENRO were 0.36 ± 0.17 μg/g muscle and 1.60 ± 0.82 μg/g in the hepatopancreas; CIPRO Cmax values were 0.03 ± 0.02 μg/g (muscle) and 0.36 ± 0.08 μg/g (hepatopancreas). Two to fourteen days were necessary to eliminate both antibiotics from muscular tissue and four to more fourteen days for complete elimination of the antibiotics from the hepatopancreas. These results should be considered in terms of minimum concentrations necessary to inhibit Vibrio bacteria to determine whether the current use of this antibiotic is effective in controlling disease.

Abstract
Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a key transcription factor that regulates a variety of molecular responses to hypoxia. Some marine crustaceans experience changes of oxygen tension in their aquatic environment, but knowledge about the function and expression of HIF-1 is very limited. HIF-1 is a heterodimer composed by alpha and beta subunits. We report the complete cDNA sequences of HIF-1alpha and HIF-1beta from the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. HIF-1alpha (LvHIF-1alpha) is 3672bp and codes for 1050 amino acids, while HIF-1beta is 2135bp (LvHIF-1beta) and 608 amino acids. Both, the alpha and beta subunits have the helix-loop-helix (bHLH) and PAS domains. HIF-1alpha also has the oxygen dependent degradation (ODD) and the C-terminal transactivation domain (C-TAD), important for regulation in normoxia. Phylogenetic analyses of the proteins indicate separation of invertebrates from vertebrates. Large differences of HIF-1alpha and HIF-1beta transcripts abundance were detected in gills, hepatopancreas and muscle under normoxia (6mg/L dissolved oxygen, DO) and hypoxia (2.5 and 1.5mg/L DO). HIF-1alpha was more abundant in gills and HIF-1beta in hepatopancreas. Large changes in response to hypoxia were detected for HIF-1alpha in gills, while HIF-1beta remained fairly constant. Glucose and lactate in hemolymph increased rapidly in hypoxia in all cases and up to 4.7 and 5.0-fold, respectively, in response to 1.5mg/L DO for 1h.

Abstract
In the spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus), unlike other crustaceans most of the prophenoloxidase (proPO) was detected in cell-free plasma (86.3%). In spite of its location, lobster proPO activating system has a similar activation mechanism to other crustacean proPO systems. Haemocyte lysate was able to activate the plasma proPO indicating location of the prophenoloxidase activating enzyme (PPAE) in haemocytes. Lobster haemocyte PPAE was isolated by affinity chromatography and its participation as activating enzyme was demonstrated. This enzyme is a serine-proteinase that transforms the inactive form (proPO) to an active one (phenoloxidase). The PPAE was also present in the cell-free supernatant of haemocytes previously incubated with Vibrio alginolyticus.
