Plasma metabolomics profiling for fish maturation in blunt snout bream
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigated the comprehensive metabolic profiles of plasma among immature females, mature females ready to spawn, as well as already spawned breeders of blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala). The purpose of this study was to screen out potential biomarkers for sexual mature female M. amblycephala compared to immature female individuals and already spawned breeders. The three groups were set up in this study, including one year old immature females, 2 years old sexually mature females ready to spawning and successfully spawning females of M. amblycephala. The plasma samples were collected to investigate the comprehensive metabolic profiles through UPLC-MS/MS based metabolomics analysis method. According to multivariate and univariate statistical analysis, plasma metabolite profiles of three groups were obviously separated, and the plasma metabolite profiles of immature female M. amblycephala were much more different from mature females ready to spawn as well as already spawned breeders. The differential plasma metabolites from three hormone related pathways including GnRH signaling pathway, steroid hormone biosynthesis and steroid biosynthesis, were further analyzed. A total of 29 metabolites were identified as differential biomarkers associated with the female maturation status
