Integration of Transcriptome, Gross Morphology and Histopathology in the Gill of Sea Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar): Lessons from Multi-site Sampling

ABSTRACT: 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).

Molecular characterisation of the Atlantic salmon gill epithelial cell line ASG-10

Project description:Fish gills are not only the respiratory organ, but also essential for ion-regulation, acid-base control, detoxification, waste excretion and host defense. Multifactorial gill diseases are common in farmed Atlantic salmon, and still poorly understood. Understanding gill pathophysiology is of paramount importance, but the sacrifice of large numbers of experimental animals for this purpose should be avoided. Therefore, in vitro models, such as cell lines, are urgently required to replace fish trials. An Atlantic salmon gill epithelial cell line, ASG-10, was established at the Norwegian Veterinary institute in 2018. This cell line forms a monolayer expressing cytokeratin, e-cadherin and desmosomes, hallmarks of a functional epithelial barrier. To determine the value of ASG-10 for comparative studies of gill functions, the characterization of ASG-10 was taken one step further by performing functional assays and comparing the cell proteome and transcriptome with those of gills from juvenile freshwater Atlantic salmon. The ASG-10 cell line appear to be a homogenous cell line consisting of epithelial cells, which express tight junction proteins. We demonstrated that ASG-10 forms a barrier, both alone and in co-culture with the Atlantic salmon gill fibroblast cell line ASG- 13. ASG-10 cells can phagocytose and express several ATP-binding cassette transport proteins. Additionally, ASG-10 expresses genes involved in biotransformation of xenobiotics and immune responses. Taken together, this study provides an overview of functions that can be studied using ASG-10, which will be an important contribution to in vitro gill epithelial research of Atlantic salmon.

Gill Transcriptomic Responses to Toxin-producing Alga Prymnesium parvum in Rainbow Trout

Project description:Prymnesium parvum is regarded as one of the most notorious harmful algal bloom (HAB) species worldwide. In recent years, it has frequently formed toxic blooms in coastal and brackish waters of America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia, causing large-scale mortalities of wild and cultured fish and other gill-breathing animals. In the last decade, blooms of P. parvum have expanded to inland fresh waters in the USA, presumably due to changes in environmental conditions. The aim of the experiment was to establish the gill transcriptomic responses to P. parvum in rainbow trout. We used 2 different concentrations of P. parvum and identified fish with low and moderate responses to the algae. Based on the dose of and the fish response, fish were classified into 4 groups with high exposure/moderate response (HM), high exposure/low response (HL), low exposure/low response (LL) and control group (C) with no exposure/no response. Gene expression profiling of the gill tissue was performed using a microarray platform developed and validated for rainbow trout.

Photoperiodic control of smoltification

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.

Effect of nonylphenol on gene expression in Atlantic salmon liver, gill, hypothalamus, pituitary, and olfactory rosettes

Project description:Exposure to environmental contaminants like nonylphenol can disrupt smolt development and may be a contributing factor in salmon population declines. We used GRASP 16K cDNA microarrays to identify genes that are differentially expressed in the liver, gill, hypothalamus, pituitary, and olfactory rosettes of Atlantic salmon smolts treated with nonylphenol compared to control smolts. Nonylphenol treatment was confirmed using physiological assays: nonylphenol-treatment significantly decreased gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity and plasma cortisol and T3 levels. Microarray analyses were used to compare expression in nonylphenol-injected fish with expression in vehicle-injected fish: eight arrays each for liver, gill, olfactory rosettes, hypothalamus, and pituitary tissues. Total RNA was isolated from the tissues of eight nonylphenol-injected fish (six males and two females) and eight vehicle-injected fish (two males and six females) and reverse transcribed separately (not pooled); each slide represents a biological replicate. For each tissue, the eight arrays were balanced for dye: nonylphenol-injected fish were labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 and vehicle-injected fish were labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 on four slides, nonylphenol-injected fish were labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 and vehicle-injected fish were labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 on four slides. Liver, gill, hypothalamus, pituitary, and olfactory rosette tissues were analyzed separately.

Global gene expresssion profiling the gills of amoebic gill disease (AGD) affected Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Project description:Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is an ectoparasitic condition of some farm-reared marine fish and is caused by Neoparamoeba perurans. Tanks housing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were inoculated with Neoparamoeba perurans and fish were sampled at 36 days postinoculation (pi.). AGD-affected gill tissue was dissected from N. perurans infected fish, and a DNA microarray was used to compare global gene expression against tissues from AGD-naive fish. To determine whether the changes in gene expression were restricted to AGD-lesions, lesion tissue from AGD-affected fish was also compared with non-lesion gill tissue dissected from the same gill arch. Samples were assessed using a DNA microarray. mRNA from lesion and non-lesion gill tissue was amplified and labeled. Six biological and two technical replicates were utilised to hybridise to 12 arrays using amplified RNA from AGD-affected lesion gill tissue with AGD-naive fish as a control. Four biological and two technical replicates were utilised to hybridise to 8 arrays using amplified RNA from AGD-affected lesion gill tissue with non-lesion tissue from the same gill arch as a control. The assignment of microarrays to treatment groups for hybridization was randomised by using a random number generator.

Gene expression in liver, gill, hypothalamus, pituitary, and olfactory rosettes from Atlantic salmon parr and smolt

Project description:To identify genes involved in the developmental process of Atlantic salmon smoltification, gene expression was compared between smolt and parr in tissues involved in osmoregulation (gill), metabolism (liver), imprinting (olfactory rosettes) and neuroendocrine control (hypothalamus and pituitary). Tissue samples were harvested from laboratory-reared parr and smolts on the same date. Smolts were distinguished from parr by size and appearance; developmental status was confirmed by physiological assays. Eight biological replicates (16 fish) balanced for sex and for dye were used in the liver, gill, olfactory rosette, and hypothalamus comparisons. Four male parr were compared to four male smolts and four female parr were compared to four female smolts; smolts were labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 on four arrays and with Alexa Fluor 647 on four arrays. Six biological replicates (12 fish) were used for the pituitary comparison (two female and four male).

Protein expression profiles of cold stress in red tilapia

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.

Zebrafish il-4 il-10 regulated immunity in gills

Project description:The evolutionary origin of vertebrate type 2 immunity is a topic of great interest. Several studies have focused on the immune cell components of evolutionary older vertebrates such as fish. However, how fish cytokines function and whether they have similar roles as in mammals is still a matter of speculation. Here, we have used the zebrafish (Danio rerio) to gain insights into il4/13a and il4/13b genes and characterized their role under both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. We established knockouts for both il4/13a and il4/13b genes and showed that they are needed to suppress inflammation in larvae and in the gill mucosa. As a counterpoint, we examined the gills of il10 defective zebrafish and revealed the importance of il10 in maintaining homeostasis in this mucosal tissue. As in mammals, zebrafish il10 appears to have an anti-inflammatory function.

Impact of short photoperiod length on smoltification (RNAseq)

Project description:This experiment was set up to evaluate the effect of the duration of a short photoperiod (winter-like conditions, 8 hours light, 14 hours dark) on the smolt transcriptome in liver and gill. Fish were kept at constant light before fish were split between treatment tank or control tanks. Treatment tanks either experienced 2 weeks of short photoperiod or 8 weeks of short photoperiod. The control fish were kept in constant winter-like conditions. After winter, the fish were brought back to constant light for 4 weeks. Sampling was done before transition to short photoperiod, at the end of winter period and four weeks after transition back to constant light. Control fish were sampled at the same time points as the treatment group.
