Project description:The systematic deep sequencing analysis provided a comprehensive understanding of the transcriptome complexity of 2n and 3n Fujian oyster. This information broadens our understanding of the mechanisms of C.angulata polyploidization and contributes to molecular and genetic research by enriching the oyster database. This is the first report on genome-wide transcriptional analysis of adductor muscle of diploid and triploid Fujian oyster and has demonstrated triploid oysters are morphologically almost identical to their diploid counterparts, but have faster growth, due to the reorientation of energetic allocation from gametogenesis to somatic investment. This study provides a foundation for further analysis of the gene expression patterns and signaling pathways which regulate the molecular mechanisms of diploid and triploid oyster.

Project description:Background Triploidy can occur in all species but is often lethal in birds and mammals. In amphibian, invertebrates and numerous species of fishes, triploid animals are viable and undistinguishable from diploid individuals. Gametogenesis is often affected and most animals are sterile for at least one sex, and gametes for the other sex are often unfertile. Although the majority of triploid oysters are sterile (beta individuals, 3nb), a low but persistent proportion of male and female animals produce gametes (alpha individuals, 3na). Thus, oysters constitute a unique model to study the effect of triploidy on germ cells development of both male and females. In this study, we used microarray to study the consequences of polyploidy on triploid oyster germ cells mitosis and meiosis. Results We compared the transcriptome of gonads of 3na and 3nb oyster gonads over the course of gametogenesis to the transcriptome of diploid (2n) oyster gonads. This study allowed us to reveal an increase in DNA repair and apoptosis through the NF-kappaB pathway, and a decrease in actin remodeling and chromatin remodeling in all 3n oysters. The comparison of 3na and 3nb individuals with 2n revealed that a pachytene checkpoints may be responsible for the success in gametogenesis of 3na individuals and for the observed delay in gametogenesis. However, the sterility of 3nb individuals can be explained by a disruption of sex determinism mechanisms. Indeed 3nb females express male-specific genes including enkurin and an Elav-like gene, and 3nb males express female-specific genes including Forkhead box L2 and beta-catenin. Conclusions Our results bring back to the front of the research field the questions of genetic sex determinism, mitosis/meiosis control, pachytene checkpoint, and cell type specific DNA damage pathways. Furthermore, this study identifies numerous new candidate genes which function should now be studied in details in oysters and in other triploid animals in order to elucidate the complex mechanisms involved in the regulation of triploid cells division. Triploid spats were obtained by crossing tetraploid males and diploid females in the ifremer experimental hatchery (La tremblade, Charente Maritime, France). We performed microarray analysis on a total of 35 individual triploid gonads that can be grouped as follow: 3n stage 0 (4 individuals), 3n alpha Stage 1 (8 individuals), 3n beta Stage 1 (8 individuals), 3n alpha Stage 3 male (4 individuals), 3n beta Stage 3 male (3 individuals), 3n alpha Stage 3 female (4 individuals), and 3n beta stage 3 female (4 individuals).

Project description:To assess the diurnal gene expression in gills of oyster Crassotrea gigas, gills of 6 oysters were pooled and analyzed by RNa-seq every 4h for 52h (i.e. 13 sampling times). This procedure was executed simultaneously for control oysters fed with the non-harmful algae Heterocapsa triquetra (H.t condition), and for oysters fed with the harmful algae Alexandrium minutum (A.m condition) (L:D 9:15). Alexandrium minutum exposure led to a remodeling of the cycling transcriptome in gills of Crassostrea gigas.

Project description:The cultivated Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has suffered for decades large scale summer mortality phenomenon resulting from the interaction between the environment parameters, the oyster physiological and/or genetic status and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms including Vibrio species. To obtain a general picture of the molecular mechanisms implicated in C. gigas immune responsiveness to circumvent Vibrio infections, we have developed the first deep sequencing study of the transcriptome of hemocytes, the immunocompetent cells. Using Digital Gene Expression (DGE), we generated a transcript catalog of up-regulated genes from oysters surviving infection with virulent Vibrio strains (Vibrio splendidus LGP32 and V. aestuarianus LPi 02/41) compared to an avirulent one, V. tasmaniensis LMG 20012(T). For that an original experimental infection protocol was developed in which only animals that were able to survive infections were considered for the DGE approach. We report the identification of cellular and immune functions that characterize the oyster capability to survive pathogenic Vibrio infections. Functional annotations highlight genes related to signal transduction of immune response, cell adhesion and communication as well as cellular processes and defence mechanisms of phagocytosis, actin cytosqueleton reorganization, cell trafficking and autophagy, but also antioxidant and anti-apoptotic reactions. In addition, quantitative PCR analysis reveals the first identification of pathogen-specific signatures in oyster gene regulation, which opens the way for in depth molecular studies of oyster-pathogen interaction and pathogenesis. This work is a prerequisite for the identification of those physiological traits controlling oyster capacity to survive a Vibrio infection and, subsequently, for a better understanding of the phenomenon of summer mortality. 4 Samples.

Project description:To avoid negative environmental impacts of escapees and potential inter-breeding with wild populations, the Atlantic salmon farming industry has and continues to extensively test triploid fish that are sterile. However, they often show differences in performance, physiology, behavior and morphology compared to diploid fish, with increased prevalence of vertebral deformities and ocular cataracts as two of the most severe disorders. Here, we investigated the mechanisms behind the higher prevalence of cataracts in triploid salmon, by comparing the transcriptional patterns in lenses of diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon, with and without cataracts. We assembled and characterized the Atlantic salmon lens transcriptome and used RNA-seq to search for the molecular basis for cataract development in triploid fish. Transcriptional screening showed only modest differences in lens mRNA levels in diploid and triploid fish, with few uniquely expressed genes. In total, there were 165 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the cataractous diploid and triploid lens. Of these, most were expressed at lower levels in triploid fish. Differential expression was observed for genes encoding proteins with known function in the retina (phototransduction) and proteins associated with repair and compensation mechanisms. The results suggest a higher susceptibility to oxidative stress in triploid lenses, and that mechanisms connected to the ability to handle damaged proteins are differentially affected in cataractous lenses from diploid and triploid salmon.

Project description:As marine invertebrates, oysters lack adaptive immunity and employ innate immunity as the front line and lmost the solo defense mechanism to protect them against invaders. Accumulating research achievements demonstrated that exosomes could act as innate immune effectors that contribute to host defense mechanism. To better understand the immune functions of exosomes in Crassostrea gigas against bacterial stimulation, iTRAQ was applied to explore the global protein changes of exosomes in oyster after Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio splendidus stimulation.

Project description:Ostreid Herpesvirus type 1 (OsHV-1) has become a serious infective agent of the Pacific oyster livestock worldwide. In particular, the OsHV-1 muVar subtype has been associated to severe mortality episodes concerning Crassostrea gigas in France and other regions of the world such as Australia and New Zealand. Factors triggering productive infections and virus interactions with susceptible and resistant bivalve hosts are not completely understood though some studies have been undertaken to explore the genes expressed in oysters after infection. We took advantage of an highly infected oyster sample to perform an in-vivo dual RNA-seq analysis. An extremely high sequencing coverage allowed us to explore in detail the Herpesvirus genome and transcriptome, and to identify viral-activated molecular pathways in Crassostrea gigas, thus expanding the current knowledge on the host-virus interactions.

Project description:Current commercially available feeds for salmon are predominantly made of plant ingredients, with consequent changes to the composition and contents of a range of nutrients and other components in the diet. There are concerns that, with these major changes in raw materials, new feeds will affect not only the composition and contents of nutrients, but also the bioavailability and, combined with the limited knowledge of micronutrient requirements for Atlantic salmon, this might impact growth performance and health of the fish. The present study investigated the effects of graded levels of a micronutrient package supplemented to feeds formulated with low levels of marine ingredients and fed to diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon throughout the freshwater phase. Specifically, fish were fed three diets containing low levels of FM and FO and identical in formulation other than being supplemented with 3 levels (L1, 100 %; L2, 200 % and L3, 400 %) of a micronutrient mix formulated as a modification of current nutrient levels reported for salmon. Duplicate groups of diploid and triploid parr were fed the experimental diets from around 30 g to seawater transfer and the effects on growth performance, feed efficiency, biochemical composition, liver histology, hepatic gene expression (transcriptome) and smoltification efficiency determined. Microarray analysis revealed that the hepatic transcriptome profile of diploid fish fed diet L2 was more similar to that observed in triploids fed diet L3 than to those fed L2, suggesting that micronutrient requirements of triploid salmon may differ from levels accepted in diploid salmon. Different levels of micronutrient supplementation affected the expression of key genes involved in lipid metabolism. In particular sterol biosynthesis pathways (steroid and terpenoid backbone synthesis) were down-regulated in both L2-fed diploids and L3-fed triploids when compared with diet L1-fed diploids and triploids, respectively. Gene sets analysis showed an up-regulation of genes involved in immune processes in triploid salmon fed diet L3. Another biological category affected by diet in triploid salmon was genetic information processing. In fish fed diet L3 down-regulation of RNA degradation, proteasome, RNA polymerase, spliceosome and ribosome was observed, suggesting a decrease in protein turnover in this group, which may indicate a decrease in energy expenditure. In addition, one-carbon metabolism was affected by diet in diploid and triploid salmon.
