Project description:This study aimed at providing insights into the hypothesized functional link between olfactory sensing of the spawning ground and final sexual maturation. We have therefore assessed the presence and expression levels of olfactory genes by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) of the olfactory rosettes in homing chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta Walbaum from the coastal sea to 75 km upstream the rivers at the pre-spawning ground. RNAseq revealed the expression of 75 known and 27 unknown salmonid olfactory genes of which 13 genes were differentially expressed between fish from the pre-spawning area and from the coastal area, suggesting an important role of these genes in homing. Olfactomedins and ependymin are candidates among the differentially expressed genes that may connect olfactory reception to the expression of sgnrh to regulate final maturation. Deep-sequencing transcriptome analysis of twelve chum salmon olfactory rosette RNA samples: three females and three males from the pre-spawning area and three females and three males from the coastal area.

Project description:The European clam, Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a bivalve mollusc of the family Veneridae native to the European Atlantic and Mediterranean coastal waters. Its production is exclusively based on natural recruitment, which is subject to high annual fluctuations due to adversely affected by pollution and other environmental factors. Microarray analyses have been performed in four gonadal maturation stages of two higly productive Portuguese wild populations (Ria Formosa in South and Ria de Aveiro in North) characterized by different responses to spawning induction.

Project description:Sexual maturation causes loss of fish muscle mass and deterioration of fillet quality attributes that prevent market purpose. We recently showed that fillet yield and flesh quality are recovered in female trout after spawning. To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating flesh quality recovery we conducted a time-course analysis of large-scale gene expression in trout muscle from spawning to 33 weeks post-spawning. Using an Agilent-based microarray plate-form, we identified about 5500 unique genes that were differentially expressed during the post-spawning period. These genes segregated into four major clusters with distinct temporal expression profile and functional categories. A first cluster containing around 2000 genes down-regulated after 4 weeks after spawning was enriched in genes linked to mitochondrial ATP synthesis, fatty acid catabolism and proteolysis. A second cluster comprising about 1200 genes with early and transient induction between 2 to 8 weeks post-spawning was enriched in genes involved in RNA processing, translation, ribosome biogenesis and protein folding. A third cluster containing about 700 genes up-regulated from 4 weeks post-spawning onwards was enriched in genes encoding ribosomal subunits or regulating translation and cell cycle. At last a fourth cluster which contained about 1000 genes with late up-regulation from 13 weeks post- spawning onwards, was dominated by genes encoding myofibrillar proteins and matricial components and genes involved in glycolysis. On the whole our study indicates that muscle tissue restoration and flesh quality recovery occurring after spawning is mainly associated with anaerobic ATP production, muscle fibre hypertrophic growth, fatty acid metabolism and extracellular matrix remodelling. The generation of the first database of genes associated with post-spawning muscle recovery will allow future mechanistic studies and facilitate identification of genetic markers for fish muscle yield and quality traits.

Project description:Background: Small ungulates (sheep and goat) display a seasonal breeding, characterised by successive periods of sexual activity (SA) and sexual rest (SR). In sexual activity period the ovarian cycle of females is active and ready for reproduction (oestrus) whereas in sexual rest no ovulation and reproduction are possible (deep anoestrus). Odours emitted by a sexually active male can reactivate the ovarian cycle of anoestrus females. The plasticity of the olfactory system under these hormonal changes has never been explored at the peripheral level of odours reception. As it was shown in pig that the olfactory secretome (proteins secreted in the nasal mucus) could be modified under hormonal control, we monitored its composition in females of both species along several seasons, thanks to a non-invasive sampling of olfactory mucus. Results: In both species the olfactory secretome is composed of isoforms of OBP-like proteins, generated by post-translational modifications, phosphorylation, N-glycosylation and O-GlcNAcylation. Important changes were observed in the olfactory secretome between the sexual rest and the sexual activity periods, characterised in ewe by the specific expression of SAL-like proteins and the emergence of OBPs O-GlcNAcylation. In Goat, the differences between SA and SR did not come from new proteins expression, but from different post-translational modifications, the main difference between the SA and SR secretome being the number of isoforms of each protein. Conclusion: Despite common behaviour, seasonal breeding, and genetic resources, the two species seem to adapt their sensory equipment in SA by different modalities: the variation of olfactory secretome in ewe could correspond to a specialization to detect male odours only in SA, whereas in goat the stability of the olfactory secretome could indicate a constant capacity of odours detection suggesting that the hallmark of SA in goat could be the emission of specific odours by the sexually active male.

Project description: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.

Project description:The long-term viability of Pacific salmon stocks and the fisheries they support are threatened if large numbers die prematurely en-route to spawning grounds. Physiological profiles that were correlated with the fate of wild sockeye salmon during river migration were discovered using functional genomics studies on biopsied tissues. Three independent biotelemetry studies tracked the biopsied fish after tagging in the marine environment over 200 km from the Fraser River, in the lower river 69 km from the river mouth and at the spawning grounds. Salmon carrying the poor performance (unhealthy) profile in the ocean exhibited a 4-times lower probability of arriving to spawning grounds than those with a healthy genomic signature, although generally migrated into the river and to the spawning grounds faster. A related unhealthy signature observed in the river was associated with a 30% reduction in survival to spawning grounds in one of the three stocks tested. At spawning grounds, the same poor performance signature was associated with twice the pre-spawning mortality compared with healthy fish. Functional analysis revealed that the unhealthy signature, which intensified during migration to spawning grounds, was consistent with an intracellular pathogenic infection, likely a virus. These results are the first to suggest a pathogen present in salmon in the marine environment could be a major source of mortality during migration and spawning in the river. This series are gill expression profiles from the study of fish at the Weaver creek spawning grounds, and were observed for pre-spawning mortality or successful spawning.
