Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of Lactate Dehydrogenase from the Oriental River Prawn Macrobrachium nipponense in Response to Hypoxia.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic adaption to hypoxic stress in crustaceans implies a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key enzyme in glycolysis in prawns. However, very little is known about the role of LDH in hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathways of prawns. In this study, full-length cDNA of LDH (MnLDH) was obtained from the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense, and was characterized. The full-length cDNA is 2267-bp with an open reading frame of 999 bp coding for a protein of 333 amino acids with conserved domains important for function and regulation. Phylogenetic analysis showed that MnLDH is close to LDHs from other invertebrates. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that MnLDH is expressed in various tissues with the highest expression level in muscle. MnLDH mRNA transcript and protein abundance in muscle, but not in hepatopancreas, were induced by hypoxia. Silencing of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) ? or HIF-1? subunits blocked the hypoxia-dependent increase of LDH expression and enzyme activity in muscle. A series of MnLDH promoter sequences, especially the full-length promoter, generated an increase in luciferase expression relative to promoterless vector; furthermore, the expression of luciferase was induced by hypoxia. These results demonstrate that MnLDH is probably involved a HIF-1-dependent pathway during hypoxia in the highly active metabolism of muscle.

Project description:BackgroundThe oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) is the most prevalent aquaculture species in China. The sexual precocity in this species has received considerable attention in recent years because more and more individuals matured at a small size, which devalues the commercial production. In this study, we developed deep-coverage transcriptomic sequencing data for the ovaries of sexually precocious and normal sexually mature M. nipponense using next-generation RNA sequencing technology and attempted to provide the first insight into the molecular regulatory mechanism of sexual precocity in this species.ResultsA total of 63,336 unigenes were produced from the ovarian cDNA libraries of sexually precocious and normal sexually mature M. nipponense using Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. Through BLASTX searches against the NR, STRING, Pfam, Swissprot and KEGG databases, 15,134 unigenes were annotated, accounting for 23.89% of the total unigenes. 5,195 and 3,227 matched unigenes were categorized by GO and COG analysis respectively. 15,908 unigenes were consequently mapped into 332 KEGG pathways, and many reproduction-related pathways and genes were identified. Moreover, 26,008 SSRs were identified from 18,133 unigenes. 80,529 and 80,516 SNPs were yielded from ovarian libraries of sexually precocious and normal sexually mature prawn, respectively, and 29,851 potential SNPs between these two groups were also predicted. After comparing the ovarian libraries of sexually precocious and normal sexually mature prawn, 549 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 9 key DEGs that may be related to sexual precocity of M. nipponense were identified. 20 DEGs were selected for validation by quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) and 19 DEGs show consistent expression between QPCR and RNAseq-based differential expression analysis datasets.ConclusionThis is the first report on the large-scale RNA sequencing of ovaries of sexually precocious and normal sexually mature M. nipponense. The annotated transcriptome data will provide fundamental support for future research into the reproduction biology of M. nipponense. The large number of candidate SNPs and SSRs detected in this study could be used as genetic markers for population genetics and functional genomics in this species. More importantly, many DEGs, especially nine key DEGs between sexually precocious and normal sexually mature prawns were identified, which will dramatically improve understanding of molecular regulatory mechanism of sexual precocity of this species.
