Transcriptomic profiling in fins of Atlantic salmon parasitized with sea lice: Determining the differentially expressed transcripts in fins of lice-infected salmon at 8 days post-infection
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Sea lice (e.g., Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are parasites causing costly disease outbreaks in salmon farming globally. Despite the currently available controlling practices, molecular insights into the parasite-induced host immune responses and host-pathogen interaction will provide the basis for improved and innovative treatment strategies. We investigated the early transcriptomic responses in the fins of Atlantic salmon parasitized with sea lice at the chalimus stage (8 days post-infection). Fin tissue collected from non-infected (PRE) control and at (ATT) and adjacent (ADJ) to chalimus-attachment sites from infected fish were used in profiling the global gene expression using a 44K microarray platform. Microarray analyses indicated that global transcriptomic changes resulted in 6,568 differentially expressed probes (DEPs, FDR < 5%) that include 1928 shared DEPs between ATT and ADJ compared to PRE. A direct comparison of ATT vs. ADJ revealed 90 DEPs, all of which were up-regulated in ATT.
