Performance of Immunochip 1.0 with hemolymph samples collected at 3 and 48 hours from Vibrio-challenged mussels

ABSTRACT: We aimed to exemplify early and late transcriptional response of M. galloprovincialis to live Vibrio cells. Hemolymph was collected at 3 and 48 hours after the injection of 10 to 7 cells Vibrio splendidus LGP32 into the posterior adductor muscle. Hemolymph samples were similarly collected from paired control mussels injected with PBS-NaCl. The purified RNAs were successfully amplified, labelled and competitively hybridized to the new mussel oligoarray Immunochip 1.0. After acclimatization, groups of 40 farmed mussels from the Venice lagoon (Italy) were injected either with 10 to 7 cells of Vibrio splendidus LGP32 or with NaCl-enriched PBS. One ml of hemolymph was withdrawn at 3 h and 48 h post-injection from each control or treated mussel. Two RNA pools (N=10) per time point were composed from the treated mussels, processed and competitively hybridized in dye-swap combination (Cy3 / Cy5 aRNAs) on the same Immunochip slide against time-paired control RNA pools (N=40). Since each Immunochip array contains 4 replicates per probe, the dye-swap testing yielded a total of 16 expression values per probe per time-point.

<h4>Background</h4>Sessile bivalves of the genus Mytilus are suspension feeders relatively tolerant to a wide range of environmental changes, used as sentinels in ecotoxicological investigations and marketed worldwide as seafood. Mortality events caused by infective agents and parasites apparently occur less in mussels than in other bivalves but the molecular basis of such evidence is unknown. The arrangement of Mytibase, interactive catalogue of 7,112 transcripts of M. galloprovincialis, offere ...[more]

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the digestive gland tissue of female mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to copper along with a temperature gradient Background: Global warming is a major factor that may affect biological organization, especially in marine ecosystems and in coastal areas that are particularly subject to anthropogenic pollution. We evaluated the effects of simultaneous changes in temperature and copper concentrations on lysosomal membrane stability of the blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lam.). Temperature and copper exerted additive effects on lysosomal membrane stability, exacerbating the toxic effects of metal cations present in non-physiological concentrations. Mussel lysosomal membrane stability was positively related toscope for growth, indicating possible effects of increasing temperature on mussel populations in metal-polluted areas. To clarify the molecular response to environmental stressors, we used a cDNA microarray with 1,700 sequences to measure the relative transcript abundances in the gills of mussels exposed to copper (40µg/L) and a temperature gradient (16°C, 20°C, and 24°C). In animals exposed only to heat stress, hierarchical clustering of the microarray data revealed three main clusters, which were largely dominated by down-regulation of translation-related differentially expressed genes, drastic up-regulation of folding protein-related genes, and genes involved in chitin metabolism. The response of mussels exposed to copper at 24° C was characterized by an opposite pattern of the genes involved in translation, most of which were up-regulated, as well asthe down-regulation of genes encoding heat shock proteins and microtubule-based movement proteins. Our data provide novel information on the transcriptomic modulations in mussels facing temperature increases and high copper concentrations; these data highlight the risk of marine life exposed to toxic chemicals in the presence of temperature increases due to climate change.
