Gene expression rhythms in rainbow darter male (Etheostoma caeruleum) across an annual reproductive cycle

ABSTRACT: We have been studying intersex in male rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) associated with exposure to sewage effluents. To understand changes in the gene transcriptome associated with intersex it was necessary to have a better understanding of normal annual changes in the transcriptome. The goal of this research is to identify patterns of gene expression associated with the different stages of gonad development during the annual cycle. The studies of molecular pathways involve in ovarian or testis development has been poorly studied. While most studies focus on female ovarian changes, there is a gap in understanding testis development. A customized second generation microarray for rainbow darter (8x15k) was used to identify patterns of gene expression -in terms of mRNA abundance- in male rainbow darter gonads during an annual cycle.

Rainbow darter males were collected on field work surveys in May (spawning), August (post-spawning), and October (recrudescence) 2011, and January (developing) and March (pre-spawning) 2012, using a back pack electrofisher from a clean area at the Grand River, ON, Canada.

Getting inside of the molecular pathways associated with intersex in the rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum)

Project description:Rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) are a small benthic fish found in North America. This species is sensitive to sewage effluent in the environment, showing the presence of intersex in up to 80% of males in near-field areas in the Grand River, ON. To learn more about the molecular events associated with intersex, we developed a customized oligonucleotide microarray (4x180K) with next generation sequencing (454 Roche) to characterize molecular responses in the gonad. Transcriptomics was performed on both males and females from both a reference site and a polluted site. Males with and without intersex from the polluted site were compared to the control males. Rainbow darter were sampled from from the Grand River in May 2011. Fish were selected according to the location, gonad maturity, and intersex index. Reference fish were taken from the upstream to the urban area; exposed fish were taken from downstream of from Kitchener MWWE treatment plant.

Global hepatic gene expression in rainbow trout exposed to sewage effluents

Project description:Effluents from sewage treatment plants contain a mixture of micropollutants with the potential of harming aquatic organisms. Thus, addition of advanced treatment techniques to complement existing conventional methods has been proposed. Some of the advanced techniques could, however, potentially produce additional compounds affecting exposed organisms by unknown modes of action. In the present study the aim was to improve our understanding of how exposure to different sewage effluents affects fish. This was achieved by explorative microarray and quantitative PCR analyses of hepatic gene expression, as well as relative organ sizes of rainbow trout exposed to different sewage effluents (conventionally treated, granular activated carbon, ozonation (5 or 15 mg/L), 5 mg/L ozone plus a moving bed biofilm reactor, or UV-light treatment in combination with hydrogen peroxide). Exposure to the conventionally treated effluent caused a significant increase in liver and heart somatic indexes, an effect removed by all other treatments. Genes connected to xenobiotic metabolism, including cytochrome p450 1A, were differentially expressed in the fish exposed to the conventionally treated effluents, though only effluent treatment with granular activated carbon or ozone at 15 mg/L completely removed this response. The mRNA expression of heat shock protein 70 kDa was induced in all three groups exposed to ozone-treated effluents, suggesting some form of added stress in these fish. The induction of estrogen-responsive genes in the fish exposed to the conventionally treated effluent was effectively reduced by all investigated advanced treatment technologies, although the moving bed biofilm reactor was least efficient. Taken together, granular activated carbon showed the highest potential of reducing responses in fish induced by exposure to sewage effluents.

Spatail gradient approach application in assessing changes in the rainbow darter (Etheostome caeruleum) liver transcriptome in the Grand River, Ontario

Project description:In this study, adult male rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) were collected from nine sites located at different distances from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Grand River, Ontario, Canada. The goal of this project was to see if the liver transcriptome of fish residing downstream of the two WWTPs differs from the non-exposed fish. Further, this research was also addressing the affects of differnent reference site selection on gene expression patterns, and their subsequent interpretation.The RNA from male rainbow darter was exctracted from liver tissue and used for further gene expression analysis.

Dissecting the dynamic cellular transcriptional atlas of adult teleost testis development throughout the annual reproductive cycle

Project description:The successful proliferation and differentiation of testicular cells are vital for the survival, continuity and preservation of species. However, a comprehensive molecular orchestration underlying the spermatogenic process in teleost testis development throughout the annual cycle remains elusive. In this study, the testicular cells derived from adult black rockfish at distinct stages—Regressed, Regenerating, and Differentiating were dissected via single cell transcriptome sequencing. A continuous developmental trajectory of spermatogenic cells, from spermatogonia to spermatids, was delineated, elucidating the molecular events involved in the spermatogonia development. Subsequently, the dynamic regulation of gene expressions associated with spermatogonia proliferation and differentiation was observed across spermatogonia subgroups and various developmental stages. A bioenergetic transition from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration of spermatogonia during annual developmental cycle was demonstrated, and a deeper level of heterogeneity and molecular characteristics was revealed by re-clustering analysis. The developmental trajectory of Sertoli cells in annual reproductive cycle was examined, and the divergence of Leydig cells and macrophage were explored. Additionally, the interaction network between testicular micro-environment somatic cells and spermatogenic cell were established. Overall, our study provides detailed information on both germ and somatic cells within teleost testis during annual reproductive cycle, along with insights into the molecular regulation of spermatogonia dynamics, which lay the foundation for spermatogenesis regulation and germplasm preservation of endangered species.

Temporal changes in the rainbow darter (Etheostome caeruleum) liver transcriptome associated with sewage treatment plant upgrades in the Grand River, Ontario

Project description:In this study, adult male rainbow darter were collected from three sites in the Grand River in the fall season for four consecutive years (2011-2014), from 3 sites: a reference site (US2) located in the non-urbanized area, and two exposure sites (DSW and DSK1) located dowstrem of two secondary wastewater treatment palnts (WWTP) (Waterloo and Kitchener). Kitchener WWTP has been undergone infrastructure upgrades that were initiated in the summer of 2012. The goal of this project was to see whether the implemented upgrades can be reflected in the liver transcriptome response indicative of recovery.The RNA from male rainbow darter was exctracted from liver tissue and used for further gene expression analysis.
