Transcriptome profiles of zebrafish larvae from a caffeine-induced anxiety model and a high fat-diet induced obesity model [RNA-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Obesity associates with anxiety disorders in adult humans, rodents and fish, although there is also evidence to the contrary. Moreover, it is unknown if this association is developmentally regulated, and which genes are involved. RNA-sequencing differences between caffeine-induced anxious zebrafish larvae, which exhibited greater thigmotaxis, erratic swimming and higher whole-body cortisol levels than matched controls, and high fat diet-fed obese larvae with more numerous and larger peritoneal adipocytes than standard diet controls, were revealed. There were 231 genes common to both models (padj<0.05) and 75% of the transcripts upregulated (>1.5 fold) in the anxiety model were downregulated (<0.67 fold) in obese larvae. Immune system pathways were overrepresented among these inversely regulated genes.
