Gene expression in the adult zebrafish intestine during starvation and refeeding
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this RNA-Seq dataset, we describe transcriptomic changes in whole dissected intestinal tracts taken from adult zebrafish that were either fed normally or subjected to a prolonged starvation/refeeding regimen. Analysis of this RNA-Seq data revealed starvation-induced alterations in transcript levels for many genes, including a decrease in lipid metabolism and an increase in innate immune responses. Refeeding for as little as 3 days after starvation was sufficient to restore most transcripts to their baseline pre-starvation levels. These host RNA-Seq results are accompanied by a 16S rRNA gene sequencing dataset from similarly treated adult zebrafish to define changes in intestinal microbiome composition associated with starvation and refeeding.
