Short-Term Effect of a Low-Protein High-Carbohydrate Diet on Mature Female and Male, and Neomale Rainbow Trout.

ABSTRACT: Rainbow trout are considered as a poor user of dietary carbohydrates, displaying persistent postprandial hyperglycaemia when fed a diet containing high amounts of carbohydrates. While this phenotype is well-described in juveniles, less attention was given to broodstock. Our objective was to assess for the first time the short-term consequences of feeding mature female and male, and neomale trout with a low-protein high-carbohydrate diet on glucose and lipid metabolism. Fish were fed for two days with a diet containing either no or 32% of carbohydrates. We analysed plasma metabolites, mRNA levels and enzymatic activities of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, de novo lipogenesis and β-oxidation in the liver. Results demonstrated that the glucose and lipid metabolism were regulated by the nutritional status in all sexes, irrespective of the carbohydrate intake. These data point out that carbohydrate intake during a short period (5 meals) at 8 °C did not induce specific metabolic changes in broodstock. Finally, we demonstrated, for the first time, sex differences regarding the consequences of two days of feeding on glucose and lipid metabolism.

Project description:Sustainable aquaculture production requires a greater reduction in the use of marine-derived ingredients, and one of the most promising solutions today is the augmentation in the proportion of digestible carbohydrates in aquafeed. This challenge is particularly difficult for high trophic level teleost fish as they are considered to be glucose-intolerant (growth delay and persistent postprandial hyperglycemia observed in juveniles fed a diet containing more than 20% of carbohydrates). It was previously suggested that broodstock could potentially use carbohydrates more efficiently than juveniles, probably due to important metabolic changes that occur during gametogenesis. To investigate this hypothesis, 2-year old male and female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were either fed a diet containing no carbohydrates (NC) or a 35%-carbohydrate diet (HC) for an entire reproductive cycle. Zootechnical parameters as well as the activities of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism were measured in livers and gonads. Fish were then reproduced to investigate the effects of such a diet on reproductive performance. Broodstock consumed the HC diet, and in contrast to what is commonly observed in juveniles, they were able to grow normally and they did not display postprandial hyperglycemia. The modulation of their hepatic metabolism, with an augmentation of the glycogenesis, the pentose phosphate pathway and a possible better regulation of gluconeogenesis, may explain their improved ability to use dietary carbohydrates. Although the HC diet did induce precocious maturation, the reproductive performance of fish was not affected, confirming that broodstock are able to reproduce when fed a low-protein high-carbohydrate diet. In conclusion, this exploratory work has shown that broodstock are able to use a diet containing digestible carbohydrates as high as 35% and can then grow and reproduce normally over an entire reproductive cycle for females and at least at the beginning of the cycle for males. These results are highly promising and suggest that dietary carbohydrates can at least partially replace proteins in broodstock aquafeed.

Project description:Overcoming a stress situation, such as hypoxia episodes, which involve an allostatic load, will depend on the ability of fish to modulate physiological and biochemical systems to maintain homeostasis. The aim of the study was to determine the integrated stress response after acute hypoxia of the rainbow trout considering the different elements and areas of the stress response: systemic and mucosal, local and global, and from the systemic hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis to skin mucosa. For this purpose, trout were subjected to acute hypoxia (dissolved O2 down to 2 mg/L) for 1 h and then recovered and sampled at 1, 6, and 24 h after reoxygenation. Physiological responses were significantly affected by hypoxic stress and their interaction with time after the challenge, being significant for plasma lactate and cortisol levels, in both plasma and skin mucus. At the central brain level, only trh expression was modulated 1 h after hypoxia which indicates that brain function is not heavily affected by this particular stress. Unlike the brain, the head kidney and skin were more affected by hypoxia and reoxygenation. In the head kidney, an upregulation in the expression of most of the genes studied (gr, il1β, il6, tgfβ1, lysozyme, caspase 3, enolase, hif-1, myoglobin, sod2, gpx, gst, and gsr) took place 6 h after recovery, whereas only hsp70 and il10 were upregulated after 1 h. On the contrary, in the skin, most of the analyzed genes showed a higher upregulation during 1 h after stress suggesting that, in the skin, a local response took place as soon as the stressor was detected, thus indicating the importance of the skin in the building of a stress response, whereas the interrenal tissue participated in a later time point to help prevent further alteration at the central level. The present results also show that, even though the stressor is a physical/environmental stressor, all components of the biological systems participate in the regulation of the response process and the recovery process, including neuroendocrine, metabolism, and immunity.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of small RNAs allows transcriptome level analysis of the miRNAome. The goals of this study are to identify differentially regulated hepatic miRNAs in response to a short term fast using small RNA next generation sequencing. Specific quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) methods were used to validate optimal high-throughput data analysis, and in silico prediction to identify bona fide target pathways regulated by differentially regulated miRNAs following this fasting stressor. Method: Small RNA sequencing was performed using four randomly selected samples from each treatment group were used for sequencing. The quality of total RNA was confirmed by RNA Integrity Numbers greater than 9.0 using an Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer. Nucleotide fractions (15-50) of small RNA were isolated from the total RNA using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were ligated to a 30 adapter followed by a 50 adapter (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). The small RNA ligated to the adaptors was reverse transcribed to cDNA, PCR amplified and gel purified. The gel-extracted cDNA was used for library preparation, which was further used for cluster generation on Illumina's Cluster Station before sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Raw sequence data was obtained from image data using Illumina's Sequencing Control Studio software version 2.8 (SCS v2.8) following real-time sequencing image analysis and base-calling by Illumina's Real-Time Analysis version 1.8.70 (RTA v1.8.70). The ACGT101-miR v4.2 pipeline (LC Sciences) was used to analyze sequenced data. Sequences with low Q scores, reads mapped to mRNA, RFam, Repbase and piRNA database were deleted and unique families were generated from identical sequences. These filtered unique sequences were then mapped to fish pre-miRNA and miRNA using miRBase or to the rainbow trout genome (Berthelot et al., 2014) to identify conserved miRNA following ACGT-101 User's Manual. Unique or novel miRNAs were identified after the BLAST performed against fish miRNAs from miRbase database (release 21) and published miRNAs from rainbow trout (Mennigen et al., 2016). The miRNAs that do not match any sequences in the specified databases and have the propensity of forming hairpin structure with the extended sequences at the mapped positions were classified as unique miRNAs. These unique miRNAs were further classified into different groups depending on the mappable reads to selected miRNAs in miRbase. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified using the statistical software R (Version 3.2.2) package DESeq2 for one-way ANOVA comparison of all three treatment groups. Real-time RT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: 11 miRNA differentially regulated by fasting. 4 miRNAs are downregulated with fasting. 7 miRNAs are upregulated with fasting. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the rainbow trout miRNAome in response to nutritional stimuli. Specifically, we here identify common hepatic miRNAs differentially regulated by refeeding following a short-term fast (2d), as well as miRNAs differentially regulated in the postprandial state depending on the dieatary stimulus (no carbohydrates compared to >20% dietary carbohydrates)
