Project description:The experiment focused on the transcriptomic changes associated with gill inflammation in sea farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). To ensure the multifactorial aspect of gill inflammation, fish were sampled at three marine production sites (A on Isle of Mull, B in Shetland and C in Shetland) between October 2017 and March 2018. All fish were of strain Fanad and originated from the same egg fertilisation batch. They were reared in different hatcheries (Couldoran, Pettigo-Damph and Knock-Frisa for sites A, B and C, respectively) for one year and entered the sea in spring 2017. The resultant gill tissues (44 samples in total with 1 gill sample per fish) were first scored for proliferative gill disease (PGD), using gross morphology PGD scores from 0 with no visual pathology to 5 with severe visual pathology, and then subjected to RNA-seq and histopathological (microscopic) examination. One RNA-seq sample (fish 95) was identified as an outlier and removed from the subsequent analysis. As a result, the analysis aiming to integrate gill transcriptome, gross morphology and histopathology was performed on 43 gill samples, classified either as PGD score 1 (n = 26) or PGD score 3 (n = 17). In total, 20 gill samples originated from site A (10 with PGD1 and 10 with PGD 3, 10 samples from site B (7 with PGD1 and 3 with PGD 3) and 13 samples from site C (9 with PGD1 and 4 with PGD 3).

Project description:The cold stress is considered the bottleneck problem limiting the development of red tilapia industry. Fish (initial weight: 72.71±1.32 g) was divided into the cold stressed group (C) and the control normal water temperature group (N). The water temperature was reduced by 2℃ per day from 20℃ to 8℃ in cold group, and the control group kept the water temperature at 20℃ during the experiment. At the end of the experiment, the gill(G)、liver(L) and skin(S) tissues from the fish of cold(C) group and control normal water temperature (N) group were taken. The DIA proteome analysis of 18 samples was completed, and 6341 trusted proteins containing quantitative information were obtained. Our aim is to understand the protein expression profiles of cold stress in red tilapia.

Project description:Arctic charr thrive at high densities and can live in freshwater year round, making this species especially suitable for inland, closed containment aquaculture. However, it is a cold water salmonid, which both limits where the species can be farmed and places wild populations at particular risk to climate change. Previously, we identified genes associated with tolerance and intolerance to acute, lethal temperature stress in Arctic charr. However, there remained a need to examine the genes involved in the stress response to more realistic temperatures that could be experienced during a summer heat wave in grow-out tanks that are not artificially cooled, or under natural conditions. Here, we exposed Arctic charr to moderate heat stress of 15–18ºC for 72 hours, and gill tissues extracted before, during (i.e., at 72 hrs), immediately after cooling and after 72 hours of recovery at ambient temperature (6ºC) were used for gene expression profiling by microarray and qPCR analyses. The results revealed an expected pattern for heat shock protein (Hsp) expression, which was highest during heat exposure, with significantly reduced expression (approaching control levels) quickly thereafter. We also found that the expression of numerous ribosomal proteins was significantly elevated immediately and 72 hrs after cooling, suggesting that the gill tissues were undergoing ribosomal biogenesis while recovering from damage caused by heat stress. We suggest that these are candidate gene targets for the future development of genetic markers for broodstock development or for monitoring temperature stress and recovery in wild or cultured conditions. 24 microarray slides representing 6 individuals from 4 treatment groups (Control, During, After and Recovery). One test cDNA labeled with Cy5 and the common reference aRNA labeled with Cy3 was hybridized to each slide. Reference design: 6x control fish, 6x group D fish, 6x group A fish, 6x group R fish.

Project description:The invasive marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis has displaced the native congener Mytilus trossulus from central and southern California, but the native species remains dominant at more northerly sites that have high levels of freshwater input. To determine the extent to which interspecific differences in physiological tolerance to low salinity might explain limits to the invasive species’ biogeography, we used an oligonucleotide microarray to compare the transcriptional responses of these two species to an acute decrease in salinity. Among 6,777 genes on the microarray, 117 genes showed significant changes that were similar between species, and 12 genes showed significant species-specific responses to salinity stress. Osmoregulation and cell cycle control were important aspects of the shared transcriptomic response to salinity stress, whereas the genes with species-specific expression patterns were involved in mRNA splicing, polyamine synthesis, exocytosis, translation, cell adhesion, and cell signaling. Forty-five genes that changed expression significantly during salinity stress also changed expression during heat stress, but the direction of change in expression was typically opposite for the two forms of stress. These results (i) provide insights into the role of changes in gene expression in establishing physiological tolerance to acute decreases in salinity, and (ii) indicate that transcriptomic differences between M. galloprovincialis and M. trossulus in response to salinity stress are subtle and involve only a minor fraction of the overall suite of gene regulatory responses. Two species (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Mytilus trossulus), hypo-osmotic shock for four hours (850 mOs/kg), one control group (1000 mOs/kg) sampled at the end of the treatment exposure (850 mOs/kg), one control group (1000 mOs/kg) sampled at the beginning. Biological replicates: 6 in each treatment group, 6 in each control group. Heterologous and homologous hybridization to a microarray constructed from Mytilus californianus and Mytilus galloprovincialis sequences. A reference design that used separate pools of reference RNA for each species was employed. Reference amplified RNA (aRNA) was created for each species by pooling RNA before and after amplification. The reference pool was made up of RNA from six different samples: two base-line control samples from the beginning of the experiment, two treatment samples from the end of the four-hour hypo-osmotic exposure, and two time-control samples from the end of the four-hour exposure time. To accurately compare the transcriptomes of Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. trossulus, we chose to develop a common microarray format that could be used for both species. This microarray design consisted of probe sequences generated from the out-group species, M. californianus. M. trossulus and M. galloprovincialis are approximately 7.5 million years divergent from M. californianus, yet only 3.5 million years divergent from each other (Seed, 1992). Therefore, heterologous hybridization to the microarray allowed us to compare transcriptional responses of M. galloprovincialis and M. trossulus without the inherent sequence biases that would result from a microarray that was designed from sequences of either M. galloprovincialis or M. trossulus. A limited number of sequences (556) from ESTs from M. galloprovincialis that matched M. californianus ESTs were included on the microarray to test for the effects of sequence mismatches. Only probes that performed well for both M. galloprovincialis and M. trossulus were used in our analyses. In order to determine significant changes in expression, we conducted a two-way ANOVA, in which salinity and species were modeled as fixed effects, and focused on genes that were significant for the salinity effect or the species x temperature interaction. We ignored the species term from the ANOVA as this effect could have highlighted genes that differentially bound to probes on the microarray due to differences in sequence homology, thus not reflecting true differences in gene expression. In accordance with statistical convention, all genes with a significant species x temperature interaction were deemed not to have significant temperature effects, even if the temperature term from the ANOVA had a low P-value. All genes with FDR-corrected (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995) P-values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Analyses were conducted in the R statistical programming environment (R Development Core Team, 2009).

Project description:The estuarine tapertail anchovy, Coilia nasus, is an anadromous fish that undertakes over a 600-km spawning migration along the Yangtze River of China. They generally cease feeding during this process, but we recently documented that a small proportion of them appear to feed. Research on proteomic responses is essential for understanding the phenomenon of C. nasus feeding. In this study, we used an iTRAQ-based proteomics approach to study the changes in protein expression in response to food intake in C. nasus following voluntary fasting. Coilia nasus in the feeding group (CSI) were fed shrimp or small fish, whereas those in the control group (CSN) were starved. We identified 3279 proteins in the gastric tissue/stomach, of which 279 were significantly differentially expressed. In all, 133 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were upregulated and 146 proteins were downregulated in CSI compared with those in CSN C. nasus. In addition to gastric acid secretion caused by gastric distention, a functional analysis suggested that a series of DEPs were involved mainly in the regulation of protein digestion (e.g., carboxypeptidase A1 and chymotrypsin A-like), immune response (e.g., lysozyme and alpha 2-macroglobulin), and nutrition metabolism (e.g., glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glycogenin, long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, and creatine kinase). Real-time PCR confirmed that the mRNA levels of the DEPs were similar those obtained using iTRAQ. These results indicate that the nutrients obtained through food were effectively utilized by C. nasus, thereby providing energy for swimming, gonadal maturation, primary metabolism, and an enhanced immune function to better resist pathogen interference. This research contributes to the elucidation of nutritional regulation mechanisms of C. nasus to better protect the wild population.

Project description:Cryptosporidium hominis and parvum primarily infect intestinal epithelial cells, which, in turn, play a key role in activating and communicating with the host immune system. To determinate which genes are regulated during early infection of non-transformed human epithelial cells, human ileal mucosa was removed (from surgical specimens), placed on collagen membranes, and cultured as explants. Explant cultures were infected with C. parvum, C. hominis, or control culture medium. After 24 hrs, RNA was extracted and analyzed using Affmetrix GeneChip microarrays. Among the more prominent genes with regulated expression was Osteoprotegerin (OPG), which was increased in all of the explants at 24 hrs and further up-regulated 1.58 fold by C. parvum and 2.54 fold by C. hominis infection compared with uninfected explants. Using real time PCR, we confirmed a 3.14 and 3.79 fold increase in OPG mRNA after infection with C. parvum and C. hominis respectively. Experiment Overall Design: Ileal tissue, which would otherwise have been discarded, was obtained from 3 individuals undergoing bowel resections. The mucosa was removed mechanically and cutured as explants in medium CMRL-1066 and incubated 3 hrs prior to ex vivo infection. Specimens from each individual were divided into 4 parts. A base lane specimen was preserved in RNAse inhibitor directly. The other 3 specimens were infected with 106 oocysts of C. parvum, C hominis or excystation solution. After 24h, the tissues were place in RNAse inhibitor. Subsequently, RNA was extracted with RNAeasy Mini Kit Quiagen and submitted to Baylor College of Medicine microarray facility. The samples were analyzed for gene expression profiles using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 2.0 array.

Project description:This experiment is intended to provide information about transcriptional changes in the gill of Atlantic salmon during smoltification, in comparison with juvenile salmon not given the appropriate photoperiodic stimuli. Also, transcriptional changes due to osmotic stress (24H salt water challenged) will be recorded. This to better understand the transformation of the gill from a fresh water-type to a salt water-type, and possibly identify novel and important genes that are dependent upon a specific photoperiodic history for their expression. Additionally the data can be used to observe the shift in salt water response as the juvenile salmon goes through smoltification. Experimental workflow: All fish started on 24H light (LL), after one week, half of the fish were moved to short photoperiod (8:16, SP). The rest remained on LL throughout. After eight weeks, half of the fish on short photoperiod were moved back onto 24H light (SPLL). Remaining fish continued under 8:16. After another eight weeks the experiment was ended. Fish were sampled on days 0, 32, 53, 68, 89 and 110. On each sampling occasion fish were sampled directly from fresh water (FW), and from a 24H salt water (SW) stay, transferred the previous day. Weight and length was noted. Gill tissue was the taken and placed in RNAlater. Additionally plasma for measuring hypoosmoregulatory capacity was taken.

Project description:The Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) oocyst wall provides strong protection against hostile environmental factors; however, research is limited concerning about the oocyst wall at the proteomic level. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the proteome expressed by the oocyst wall of C. parvum was performed using label-free qualitative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractionation and mass spectrometry-based qualitative proteomics technologies. A total of 798 proteins were identified, accounting for about 20% of the CryptoDB proteome. By using bioinformatic analysis, functional annotation and subcellular localization of the identified proteins were examined for better understanding of the characteristics of the oocyst wall. Among the identified proteins, one protein encoded by the C. parvum cgd7_5140 (Cpcgd7_5140) gene was predicted to be located on the surface of the oocyst wall. To verify its localization, an indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay (IFA) demonstrated that the Cpcgd7_5140 was localized on the surface of the oocyst wall, illustrating the potential usage as a marker for C. parvum detection in vitro. The results provide new information about the proteomic composition of the Cryptosporidium oocyst wall, thereby providing a theoretical basis for further study of Cryptosporidium oocyst wall formation as well as the selection of targets for Cryptosporidium detection.
