Selection of growth-related genes and dominant genotypes in transgenic Yellow River carp Cyprinus carpio L.

ABSTRACT: Transgenic Yellow River carp is characterized by rapid growth rate and high feed-conversion efficiency and exhibits a great application prospect. However, there is still a significant separation of growth traits in the transgenic Yellow River carp family; as such, growth-related genotypes must be screened for molecular marker-assisted selection. In this study, 23 growth-related candidate genes containing 48 SNP markers were screened through bulked segregant analysis (BSA) among transgenic Yellow River carp family members showing significant separation of growth traits. Then, two growth-related genes (Nos. 17 and 14 genes) were identified through combined genome-wide association study (GWAS) of candidate genes and validation of the full-sibling family approach. Nos. 17 and 14 genes encode BR serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (BRSK2) and eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (Eif2ak3), respectively. The average body weight of three subgroups carrying the genotypes 17GG, 17GG?+?14CC, and 17GG?+?14TT of these two genes increased by 27.96, 38.28, and 33.72%, respectively, compared with the controls. The proportion of individuals with body weight >?500 g in these subgroups increased by 19.22, 26.82, and 30.92%, respectively. The results showed that appropriate genotype carriers can be selected from the progeny population through BSA sequencing combined with simplified GWAS analysis. Hence, basic population for breeding can be constructed and transgenic Yellow River carp strains with stable production performance and uniform phenotypic properties can be bred.

Project description:The pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of enrofloxacin were determined in Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) reared at 20°C after single oral administration of enrofloxacin at 10 mg·kg-1 body weight (BW). Plasma, bile, and different tissue samples, including liver, kidney, gill, gut, and skin-muscle, were collected at predetermined times points. An HPLC method was developed to simultaneously determine the concentrations of enrofloxacin and its metabolite, ciprofloxacin. However, ciprofloxacin was only detectable in some liver samples with trace levels. Then the average enrofloxacin concentrations vs. time data were subjected to a non-compartmental analysis using WinNonLin 5.2 software. Multiple peaking profiles were observed in all enrofloxacin concentration-time curves. The peak concentration (Cmax) values were observed as 0.79, 1.01, 2.09, 2.85, 4.34, 10.78, and 13.07 μg·ml-1 (or g-1) in plasma, skin-muscle, gill, kidney, liver, bile, and gut, respectively, and the corresponding time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) was 8, 8, 1, 8, 1, 72, and 4 h, respectively. The values of elimination half-life (T1/2λZ ) of enrofloxacin in different tissues was in the following order: gill (291.13 h) > liver (222.29 h) > kidney (157.22 h) > plasma (129.44 h) > gut (91.47 h) > skin-muscle (87.77 h) > bile (86.22 h). The present results showed that enrofloxacin had a wide distribution in different tissues, however slow absorption and elimination in Yellow River carp. Additionally, enrofloxacin exhibited large distribution in bile, indicating that bile excretion might be the primary elimination route of enrofloxacin in Yellow River carp. A withdrawal period was calculated as 379.2 °C-day for single oral dosing of enrofloxacin at 10 mg/kg BW. Based on the calculated PK/PD indices of AUC/MIC or Cmax/MIC, the current enrofloxacin dosing regimen might have a positive therapeutic effect on the infection of Flavobacterium columnare, Aeromonas sobria, or Aeromonas hydrophila. However, the depletion study following multiple oral doses should be carried out in Yellow River carp reared at lower temperatures, and the withdrawal period should also be further calculated.

Project description:Apelin, a kind of active polypeptide, has many biological functions, such as promoting food intake, enhancing immunity, and regulating energy balance. In mammals, studies have indicated that apelin is involved in regulating food intake. However, there are relatively few studies about the regulatory effect of apelin on fish feeding, and the specific mechanism is not clear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to preliminarily investigate the regulatory effects of apelin on key genes of feeding and growth in common carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.) through in vitro and in vivo experiments. In the present study, after incubation with different concentrations of Pyr-apelin-13 (0, 10, 100, and 1000 nM) in hypothalamic fragments, the expressions of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Agouti related peptide (AgRP) mRNA were significantly up-regulated at 12 and 3 h, respectively, and the significant down-regulation of Cocaine and amphetamine-related transcript (CART) mRNA expression was observed at 1 and 3 h. In vivo, after Pyr-apelin-13 oral administration (0, 1, 10, and 100 pmol/g), the orexin mRNA level in the hypothalamus of common carp was significantly increased at 1, 6, and 12 h, while CART/(Proopiomelanocortin) POMC mRNA levels in the hypothalamus of common carp were significantly down-regulated. Following incubation with different concentrations of Pyr-apelin-13 (0, 10, 100, and 1000 nM) in primary hepatocytes, GHR (Growth hormone receptor), IGF2 (Insulin-like growth factor 2), IGFBP2 (Insulin like growth factor binding protein 2), and IGFBP3 (Insulin like growth factor binding protein 3) mRNA levels were significantly increased at 3 h. In vivo, the levels of IGF1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1), IGF2, IGFBP2 (Insulin like growth factor binding protein 2), and IGFBP3 mRNA were significantly increased after the oral administration of Pyr-apelin-13 in the hepatopancreas, in a time and dose-dependent manner. These results support the hypothesis that Pyr-apelin-13 might regulate the feeding and growth of common carp through mediating the expressions of appetite- and growth-related genes. Overall, apelin, which is an orexigenic peptide, improves food intake and is involved in the growth of common carp.
