Project description:Male SHRs and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto(WKY) rats were purchased from Vital River (Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd, Beijing, China). Briefly, eightteen SHRs aged seven to eight weeks old were randomly assigned to one of three groups: water group (drinking tap water), water containing 333 mg/L or 1g/L TMAO group (TMAO, product number: T1362, Tokyo Chemical Industry, Japan). Six WKY rats of the same age were used as normotensive controls. In this study, WKY rats (n=6), SHR (n=6), and SHR treated with 1g/L TMAO (n=6) were uesd for experiments.
Project description:We report here a data acquisition strategy that expands the detectable and quantifiable proteome from trace amounts of protein digests using microanalytical capillary electrophoresis (µCE) electrospray ionization (ESI) high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Data-dependent acquisition (DDA) was programmed to progressively exclude high-intensity peptide signals from repeated analysis of the sample, essentially forming a ladder of DDA measurements.
Project description:Transcripts of the gill epithelium from three different stocks of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) migrating from freshwater river to lake (Saimaa stock, SS), brackish water (Neva stock, NS) or seawater (Teno stock, TS) were compared at three successive developmental stages (parr, smolt and postsmolt) using the 16K GRASP cDNA microarray platform.
Project description:The copper redhorse (Moxostoma hubbsi) is an endangered fish endemic to Quebec, Canada that is only known to spawn in two locations within the Richelieu River, a waterway draining a significant area of agricultural land. Accordingly, concerns have been raised over the impacts that agricultural pesticide contamination of spawning grounds and nursery habitats within the Richelieu River may have on early life stage copper redhorse. We assessed the effects of contaminants on early life stages of copper redhorse and river redhorse (Moxostoma carinatum), a closely related fish that shares the copper redhorse’s habitat and spawning grounds but is distributed more widely and is not yet listed as endangered. Copper and river redhorse embryos (1000 each) were exposed to either Richelieu River water in an in-situ flow-through system or to laboratory water used as a control. We assessed embryos hatching time, incidence of deformities and survival in copper and river redhorses. We then performed RNA sequencing on copper redhorse larvae to better understand changes due to river water exposure. We identified 341 compounds in the river water that were absent from lab water. Pesticide concentrations in the river peaked following rainfall during the spawning season. Embryos exposed to river water hatched prematurely at 63.0 and 59.2 cumulative degree days (CDD) compared to 65.4 and 69.9 CDD in laboratory water for river and copper redhorse, respectively. Copper redhorse exposed to river water also had a significantly lower survival rate than laboratory water (73% vs. 93%). RNA sequencing of copper redhorse revealed 18 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) following river water exposure. Eight of the upregulated DEGs (cd44, il1b, lamb3, lamc2, tgm5, orm1, saa, acod1) are linked to immune function and injury response and 7 of the downregulated DEGs (cpa2, ctrb, cela2a, ctrl, cpa1, prss1, cel) are involved with digestion and nutrient absorption. This study provided valuable data on the effects of anthropogenic contaminants present in the Richelieu River and increased our knowledge on the individual and mixture effects they have on an endangered fish.
