Liver RNA-seq of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) submitted to different aquaculture challenges

ABSTRACT: Fish in aquaculture farms frequently face unfavarouble husbandry conditions and other unpredictable situations, which are sometimes part of routine procedures. However, managing stress originated from these situations is crucial to ensure the sustainability of the production. When fish is exposed to prolonged stress, and overload of the physiological systems can occur and the fish may no longer be able to adapt and restore homeostasis, and this can impair the animal performance, such as growth and immunity, and consequently fish welfare. In this study the genes and gene families responsible for the molecular stress response to different challenges in gilthead seabream was assessed. Gilthead seabream adults were exposed to overcrowding, net-handling and hypoxia, in separate trials, each against a control group. Overcrowding and net-handling trials lasted for a month and half (chronic stress) and hypoxia for 48h (acute stress). The liver was the chosen organ for this transcriptomics analysis as this plays a crucial role in stress adaptation. The characterization of stress adaptation mechanisms provides valuable knowledge for the future selective breeding of more resilient commercial species that can thrive under changing conditions and adapt well to life in captivity, while ensuring high welfare standards.

Potential biomarker genes for crowding stress in maraena whitefish Coregonus lavaretus

Project description:Stress represents a major factor negatively affecting fish welfare in aquaculture. The objective of the present study was to identify and evaluate informative indicators for the welfare and particular health status of maraena whitefish (Coregonus maraena) farmed at four different stocking densities. Transcriptome profiling revealed that numerous stress-related signaling pathways were activated in liver and kidney under ED and HD conditions, such as ERK/MAPK, mTOR, glucocorticoid receptor, SAPK/JNK and JAK/Stat signalling, as well as p38 and p53 signalling. Moreover, several stress-relevant effector pathways were found to be overexpressed including glycolysis and glycogen degradation. Strikingly, a high number of upregulated genes in kidney and in liver of fish kept at HD (compared to MD fish) were related to immunological processes, such as Acute-phase response signalling, B cell receptor signaling, CD28 signaling in T helper cells, and Interleukin-6 signaling. Four stocking density conditions were investigated: an uncrowded âmoderateâ density (MD: 33Â kg trout/mÂ³) , an elevated density (ED: 60Â kg/mÂ³ ), a low density (LD: 10Â kg/mÂ³ ), and high density (HD: 100Â kg/mÂ³). The experiment was performed twice, randomly assigned to identical glass tanks with MD (100 individuals), ED (180 individuals), LD (30 individuals), and HD (300 individuals). Trout were sampled 8 d after experimental onset.

SEA BREAM PATH_INTEST

Project description:To determine the effects on the intestine gene expression of pathogen exposure to Enteromyxum leei. One fish group was exposed to E. leei-contaminated effluent (recipient group = R) . R fish (n= 66, average weight = 134 g) were placed in two replicated 200L fibre-glass tanks which were set to receive exclusively the effluent water from another tank containing 24 infected (donors = D; average weight = 127.3 g; prevalence of infection = 54%) gilthead sea bream. The D to R fish ratio was 0.8. Other 66 naÃ¯ve fish were allocated in two replicated tanks (control group = CTRL) under the same conditions, but without receiving contaminated effluent. Over the course of the study, day length followed natural changes and water was heated in order to keep temperature always above 18ÂºC, the range was 18-23 ÂºC. Water was 5 Âµm-filtered and UV irradiated, and salinity was 37.5â°. Water flow was 10L/min and oxygen content of outlet water remained higher than 85%saturation. All fish were fed daily a commercial dry pellet diet at about 1% of body weight. Disease signs and daily mortalities were recorded throughout the experiments. The parasitic status of dead fish was checked by microscopic examination of fresh intestinal scrapings. Fish were sampled after 113 days post exposure (p.e.). Feeding was stopped one day prior to the sampling to ensure that the digestive tract was empty. Head kidney and posterior intestine were rapidly excised, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80 Â°C until RNA extraction and analysis. Keywords: Treated/Untreated, confinement, cortisol, stress response, time course, microarray 28 intestine samples - Twenty eight slides were hybridised using a reference design. Three groups (control, infected and non-infected) were compared using five individual fish in each group. Each sample was hybridised twice - the second being a dye-swap of the first.

In-depth proteomic mapping of skin mucus of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Surrogate markers of chronic stress in fish farming

Project description:The skin mucus of gilthead sea bream was mapped by 1-DE followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry using a quadrupole time-of-flight mass analyzer. More than 2000 proteins were identified with a protein score filter of 30. The identified proteins were represented in 418 canonical pathways of the Ingenuity Pathway software. After filtering by canonical pathway overlapping, the retained proteins were clustered in three groups. The mitochondrial cluster contained 59 proteins related to oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial dysfunction. The second cluster contained 79 proteins related to antigen presentation and protein ubiquitination pathways. The third cluster contained 257 proteins where proteins related to protein synthesis, cellular assembly, and epithelial integrity were over-represented. The latter group also included acute phase response signaling. In parallel, 2-DE methodology identified six proteins spots of different protein abundance when comparing unstressed fish with chronically stressed fish in an experimental model that mimicked daily farming activities. The major changes were associated with a higher abundance of cytokeratin 8 in the skin mucus proteome of stressed fish, which was confirmed by immunoblotting. Overall, these results indicate that skin mucus is a reliable tissue for alternative or complementary stress phenotyping in fish farming.

Microarray-predicted marker genes indicating handling stress in maraena whitefish (Coregonus maraena)

Project description:Stress represents a major factor negatively affecting fish welfare in aquaculture. The head kidney is the effective centre for neuro-immune interactions in teleost as it is the main secretory organ of stress hormones and gathers major leukocyte populations. The present study investigated the influence of acute and long-term (chronic) handling stress in maraena whitefish. The aim was to define stress-related physiological changes in maraena whitefish using traditionally used and newly identified parameters. We determined the levels of the well-established biomarkers included triglycerides, lactate and cholesterol in blood plasma. In addition, the transcriptome of the head kidney of differently treated whitefish was recorded to identify new potential biomarkers and to investigate the relationship between immune functions and stress responses.

Microarray analysis of transcripts in the liver of gilthead sea bream with high plasma cortisol levels induced by slow-release cortisol implants

Project description:The present work was designed to assess the effects of high plasma cortisol levels induced by slow-release cortisol implants in the mRNA transcription of the GR in the different organs of the Sparus aurata, including liver. For that purpose fish were intraperitoneally injected with the implants containing two different concentrations of cortisol (50 or 200 µg/g body weight) and blood and organs were sampled after 7 and 14 days of implantation. Only fish with 200 µg/g implants exhibited a significant rise in the plasma cortisol. For microarray analysis we used livers of gilthead sea bream (N=36 fish). Fish were injected with 200 µg/g body weight of cortisol and sampled after 7 and 14 days (n=6 for each condition). RNA samples were grouped into pools of 2 animals for each time point. The analysis were carried out considering the transcripts differentially expressed in the group of fish implanted during 7 days with cortisol comparing to control group. Additionally, the transcripts differentially expressed at day 14 were compared with day 7.

Proteomic changes induced by cold challenge in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) liver

Project description:We report the proteomic characterization of livers from Sparus aurata exposed to cold temperatures. In this study, mimicking the winter challenge conditions, a 8 week feeding trial was carried out on gilthead sea bream juveniles reared in RAS systems at a temperature ramp made of two phases of four weeks each: a cooling phase from 18°C 8 (t0) to 11°C (t1) and a cold maintenance phase at 11°C (t2). Sparus aurata livers, after exposure to the three temperature phases (t0, t1 and t2), were collected and analyzed using a shotgun proteomics approach based on filter-aided sample preparation followed by tandem mass spectrometry, peptide identification carried out using Sequest-HT as search engine within the Proteome Discoverer informatic platform, and label-free differential analysis. Along the whole trial, sea breams underwent several changes occurring upon thermal stress in liver protein abundance. These occurred mostly during the cooling phase, when catabolic processes were mainly observed. These included protein and lipid degradation and a decrease in protein synthesis and amino acid metabolism. A decrease in protein mediators of oxidative stress protection was also seen. Liver protein profiles showed less marked changes during cold maintenance, although pathways such as the methionine cycle and sugar metabolism were significantly affected. This study provided useful hints on the dynamics and extent of the metabolic shift occurring in sea bream liver with decreasing water temperature, helping the development of feeds aimed at compensating the thermal stress encountered by fish in offshore farming conditions.
