The Metabolomic Response of Crucian Carp (Carassius carassius) to Anoxia and Reoxygenation Differs between Tissues and Hints at Uncharacterized Survival Strategies.

ABSTRACT: The anoxia-tolerant crucian carp (Carassius carassius) has been studied in detail for numerous years, with particular focus on unravelling the underlying physiological mechanisms of anoxia tolerance. However, relatively little work has been focused on what occurs beyond anoxia, and often the focus is a single organ or tissue type. In this study, we quantified more than 100 metabolites by capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) in brain, heart, liver, and blood plasma from four experimental groups, being normoxic (control) fish, anoxia-exposed fish, and two groups that had been exposed to anoxia followed by reoxygenation for either 3 h or 24 h. The heart, which maintains cardiac output during anoxia, unexpectedly, was slower to recover compared to the brain and liver, mainly due to a slower return to control concentrations of the energy-carrying compounds ATP, GTP, and phosphocreatine. Crucian carp accumulated amino acids in most tissues, and also surprisingly high levels of succinate in all tissues investigated during anoxia. Purine catabolism was enhanced, leading to accumulation of uric acid during anoxia and increasing urea formation that continued into 24 h of reoxygenation. These tissue-specific differences in accumulation and distribution of the metabolites may indicate an intricate system of transport between tissues, opening for new avenues of investigation of possible mechanisms aimed at reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and resultant tissue damage during reoxygenation.

Life without oxygen: gene regulatory responses of the crucian carp (Carassius carassius) heart subjected to chronic anoxia.

Project description:Crucian carp are unusual among vertebrates in surviving extended periods in the complete absence of molecular oxygen. During this time cardiac output is maintained though these mechanisms are not well understood. Using a high-density cDNA microarray, we have defined the genome-wide gene expression responses of cardiac tissue after exposing the fish at two temperatures (8 and 13 °C) to one and seven days of anoxia, followed by seven days after restoration to normoxia. At 8 °C, using a false discovery rate of 5%, neither anoxia nor re-oxygenation elicited appreciable changes in gene expression. By contrast, at 13 °C, 777 unique genes responded strongly. Up-regulated genes included those involved in protein turnover, the pentose phosphate pathway and cell morphogenesis while down-regulated gene categories included RNA splicing and transcription. Most genes were affected between one and seven days of anoxia, indicating gene regulation over the medium term but with few early response genes. Re-oxygenation for 7 days was sufficient to completely reverse these responses. Glycolysis displayed more complex responses with anoxia up-regulated transcripts for the key regulatory enzymes, hexokinase and phosphofructokinase, but with down-regulation of most of the non-regulatory genes. This complex pattern of responses in genomic transcription patterns indicates divergent cardiac responses to anoxia, with the transcriptionally driven reprogramming of cardiac function seen at 13 °C being largely completed at 8 °C.

Quantitative proteomic changes during anoxia and reoxygenation in anoxia-tolerant crucian carp

Project description:The freshwater fish crucian carp (Carassius carassius) can survive complete oxygen depletion (anoxia) for several months at low temperatures, achieved by a combination of reduced energy demand and increased glycolysis fueled by large hepatic glycogen stores. In crucian carp, the energy-requiring protein synthesis is controlled in a tissue-specific manner when oxygen levels decrease. During anoxia, translational rates are maintained at almost normoxic levels in brain, while heart and liver translation rates are strongly reduced. However, little is known about how the global proteome of these tissues are affected by oxygen variations. By applying mass spectrometry-based proteomics, 3304 proteins in brain, 3004 proteins in heart and 2516 proteins in liver were detected, of which 66 brain proteins, 243 cardiac proteins and 162 hepatic proteins were differentially expressed during the course of anoxia-reoxygenation compared to normoxic control. The brain proteome showed few differences in response to oxygen variations, indicating that anoxic survival is not regulated through protein expression in this tissue. Cardiac and hepatic adaptions to anoxia included enrichment of mitochondrial proteins involved in aerobic respiration and mitochondrial membrane integrity. We show that enzymes in the electron transport system (ETS) are regulated in a tissue-specific manner since no ETS components were regulated in brain, but were downregulated in heart and upregulated in liver during anoxia and reoxygenation. Furthermore, complement system activation was enriched in heart during anoxia. During reoxygenation, proteins involved in the cristae junction organization were regulated in the heart, possibly explaining how reactive oxygen species can be avoided when oxygen returns in this master of anoxic survival.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of phosphorylated proteins during anoxia and reoxygenation in the anoxia-tolerant crucian carp

Project description:The freshwater fish crucian carp (Carassius carassius) are able to survive chronic anoxia for several months at low temperatures. Consequently, anoxia-related physiological and biochemical adaptations in this species have been studied for more than half a century. Still, despite for the well-known role of protein phosphorylation in regulating cellular processes, no studies have comprehensively characterized the phosphoproteome in crucian carp. In this study, we report the global phosphoproteome in crucian carp brain and liver during anoxia and reoxygenation. By applying a bottom-up proteomic approach on enriched phosphopeptides we found that the brain phosphoproteome show surprisingly few changes during anoxia-reoxygenation exposure with 110 out of 4316 phosphopeptides being differentially regulated. By contrast, in the liver 395 out of 1293 phosphopeptides were regulated. Although most changes occurred in the liver phosphoproteome, we found evidence for metabolic depression and decreased translation in both brain and liver. We also found regulated phosphoproteins involved in apoptotic regulation and reactive oxygen species handling in both tissues. In the brain, some of the most regulated phosphopeptides belonged to proteins involved in central nervous system development and neuronal activity at the synaptic cleft. Regulated phosphoproteins specific for liver tissue were related to glucose metabolism, including glycolytic flux and glycogenolysis, and the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Coexistence of diploid, triploid and tetraploid crucian carp (Carassius auratus) in natural waters.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Crucian carp (abbreviated CC) belongs to the genus of Carassius within the family of Cyprinidae. It has been one of the most important freshwater species for Chinese aquaculture and is especially abundant in the Dongting water system of Hunan province. CC used to be considered as all diploid forms. However, coexistence of diploid (abbreviated 2nCC), triploid (abbreviated 3nCC) and tetraploid crucian carp (abbreviated 4nCC) population of the Dongting water system was first found by our recently researches. RESULTS: We examined the ploidy level and compared biological characteristics in different ploidy CC. In reproductive mode, 2nCC was bisexual generative and 4nCC generated all-female offspring by gynogenesis. However, 3nCC generated progenies in two different ways. 3nCC produced bisexual triploid offspring fertilized with 3nCC spermatozoa, while it produced all-female triploid offspring by gynogenesis when its ova were activated by heterogenous spermatozoa. The complete mitochondrial DNA of three different ploidy fishes was sequenced and analyzed, suggesting no significant differences. Interestingly, microchromosomes were found only in 3nCC, which were concluded to be the result of hybridization. Allogenetic DNA fragments of Sox genes were obtained in 3nCC and 4nCC, which were absent in 2nCC. Phylogenetics analysis based on Sox4 gene indicated 3nCC and 4nCC formed a separate group from 2nCC. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this is the first report of the co-existence of three types of different ploidy crucian carps in natural waters in China. It was proved that the coexistence of different ploidy CC was reproductively maintained. We further hypothesized that 3nCC and 4nCC were allopolyploids that resulted from hybridization. The different ploidy CC population we obtained in this study possesses great significance for the study of polyploidization and the evolution of vertebrates.

Quantitative trait loci mapping for feed conversion efficiency in crucian carp (Carassius auratus).

Project description:QTL is a chromosomal region including single gene or gene clusters that determine a quantitative trait. While feed efficiency is highly important in aquaculture fish, little genetic and genomic progresses have been made for this trait. In this study, we constructed a high-resolution genetic linkage map in a full-sib F1 family of crucian carp (Carassius auratus) consisting of 113 progenies with 8,460 SNP markers assigning onto 50 linkage groups (LGs). This genetic map spanned 4,047.824?cM (0.478?cM/marker) and covered 98.76% of the crucian carp genome. 35 chromosome-wide QTL affecting feed conversion efficiency (FCE, 8 QTL), relative growth rate (RGR, 9 QTL), average daily gain (ADG, 13 QTL) and average daily feed intake (ADFI, 5 QTL) were detected on 14 LGs, explaining 14.0-20.9% of the phenotypic variations. In LGs of LG16, LG25, LG36 and LG49, several QTL affecting different traits clustered together at the identical or close regions of the same linkage group. Seven candidate genes, whose biological functions may involve in the energy metabolism, digestion, biosynthesis and signal transduction, were identified from these QTL intervals by comparative genomics analysis. These results provide a basis for elucidating genetic mechanism of feed efficiency and potential marker-assisted selection in crucian carp.

The high tolerance to aluminium in crucian carp (Carassius carassius) is associated with its ability to avoid hypoxia.

Project description:It is well known that aluminium is the principle toxicant killing fish in acidified freshwater systems, and it has been shown that crucian carp (Carassius carassius) can survive exposures to aqueous aluminium levels toxic to most other freshwater fish species. The crucian carp has a remarkable ability to survive anoxic conditions, and the aim of the present study was to reveal if the tolerance to aluminium can be associated with the ability to survive prolonged anoxia. Crucian carps were exposed to either acidic Al-rich water (pH 5.8; 960 ?g Al/l), acidic Al-poor water (pH 5.8; 50 ?g Al/l) or untreated control water (pH 6.5; 50 ?g Al/l). Blood, muscle and gill samples were collected from exposed fish, and closed respirometry was performed to measure critical O2-tension an normoxic O2-consumption. The results show an increased gill surface area in Al-exposed fish, while the critical O2-tension did not change. The normoxic O2-consumption was lower in Al-exposed fish and might be due to a reduced metabolic rate. The results suggest that crucian carp exposed to aluminium do not become hypoxic, since haematocrit, plasma lactate and blood ethanol did not differ from that of control fish after 14 days of exposure. We also observed an initial loss of plasma chloride and sodium, followed by a stabilisation of these ions at a lower level than in control fish. The decrease in plasma ions caused a transient increase in haematocrit and water content in muscle tissue, returning to control levels when the ion concentrations stabilised, suggesting that the water balance was restored. We conclude that the high tolerance to aluminium in crucian carp is associated with its ability to avoid hypoxia as well as an ability to counteract a continuous loss of plasma ions.

Transcriptome analysis of crucian carp (Carassius auratus), an important aquaculture and hypoxia-tolerant species.

Project description:The crucian carp is an important aquaculture species and a potential model to study genome evolution and physiological adaptation. However, so far the genomics and transcriptomics data available for this species are still scarce. We performed de novo transcriptome sequencing of four cDNA libraries representing brain, muscle, liver and kidney tissues respectively, each with six specimens. The removal of low quality reads resulted in 2.62 million raw reads, which were assembled as 127,711 unigenes, including 84,867 isotigs and 42,844 singletons. A total of 22,273 unigenes were found with significant matches to 14,449 unique proteins. Around14,398 unigenes were assigned with at least one Gene Ontology (GO) category in 84,876 total assignments, and 6,382 unigenes were found in 237 predicted KEGG pathways. The gene expression analysis revealed more genes expressed in brain, more up-regulated genes in muscle and more down-regulated genes in liver as compared with gene expression profiles of other tissues. In addition, 23 enzymes in the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway were recovered. Importantly, we identified 5,784 high-quality putative SNP and 11,295 microsatellite markers which include 5,364 microsatellites with flanking sequences ?50 bp. This study produced the most comprehensive genomic resources that have been derived from crucian carp, including thousands of genetic markers, which will not only lay a foundation for further studies on polyploidy origin and anoxic survival but will also facilitate selective breeding of this important aquaculture species.

Isolation, Identification and Characteristics of Aeromonas veronii From Diseased Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus gibelio).

Project description:Aeromonas species often cause disease in farmed fish. In the present study, dominant bacteria were isolated from diseased crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). Based on this, a bacterial isolate was tentatively named CFJY-623. This isolate was identified as Aeromonas veronii based on analysis of its morphological, physiological, and biochemical features, as well as 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequences. Six virulence genes related to pathogenicity including aerolysin, cytotonic enterotoxins, elastase, glycerophospholipid: cholesterol acyltransferase, lipase, and serine protease were identified in this A. veronii isolate. The median lethal dosage (LD50) of the CFJY-623 isolate for crucian carp was determined as 1.31 × 107 CFU/mL. Artificial experimental infection showed that the CFJY-623 isolate caused considerable histological lesions in the fish, including tissue cell degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltrating. Drug sensitivity testing showed that the isolate was susceptible to aminoglycosides, carbapenemes, and nitrofurans. Exploring its growing features showed that this isolate exhibited a high level of environmental adaptability. These results provided a scientific basis for the identification of A. veronii and treatment for fish infected by this pathogen.
