Project description:Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lmk, 1819) is economically relevant bivalve specie. In Adriatic Sea, periodical temperatures increases define optimal growth conditions for Dinoflagellate spp which can reach high concentrations also in filter-feeding mussels, thus causing potential human health problems. The most commonly used methods for the detection of Diarrhoeic Shellfish Poisoning biotoxins have either a low sensitivity or are too expensive to be used for routine tests. Genomic tools, such as microarray platforms, provide a reliable and alternative solution to overcome these problems. In this study we used a mussel cDNA microarray for studying gene expression changes in mussels exposed to Okadaic acid. Mussels collected in the Gulf of Trieste, located in Northern Adriatic Sea, were fed with Okadaic acid-spiked invertebrates for five weeks. In a time course experiment we were able to describe an early acute response just from the first 4th day time point. Among the differentially expressed genes we found a general up-regulation of stress proteins and proteins involved in cellular synthesis. Overall, we identified 34 transcripts candidate as useful markers to monitor OA-induced stress in mussels. This study contributes to the characterization of many potential genetic markers that could be used in future environmental monitoring, and could lead to explore new mechanisms of stress tolerance in marine mollusc species. Keywords: Time course, stress response

Project description:An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and large volume underwater pumps were used to collect microbial biomass from offshore waters of the Sargasso Sea, from surface waters and into the deep ocean. Seawater collection was performed along a transect in the western North Atlantic Ocean beginning near Bermuda and ending off the coast of Massachusetts, capturing metabolic signatures from oligotrophic, continental margin, and productive coastal ecosystems.

Project description:Common bottlenose dolphins serve as sentinels for the health of their coastal environments as they are susceptible to health impacts from anthropogenic inputs through both direct exposure and food web magnification. Remote biopsy samples have been widely used to reveal contaminant burdens in free-ranging bottlenose dolphins, but do not address the health consequences of this exposure. To gain insight into whether remote biopsies can also identify health impacts associated with contaminant burdens, we employed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to interrogate the transcriptomes of remote skin biopsies from 116 bottlenose dolphins from the northern Gulf of Mexico and southeastern U.S. Atlantic coasts. Gene expression was analyzed using principal component analysis, differential expression testing, and gene co-expression networks, and the results correlated to season, location, and contaminant burden. Season had a significant impact, with over 30% of genes differentially expressed between spring/summer and winter months. Geographic location exhibited lesser effects on the transcriptome, with 15% of genes differentially expressed between the northern Gulf of Mexico and the southeastern U.S. Atlantic locations. Despite a large overlap between the seasonal and geographical gene sets, the pathways altered in the observed gene expression profiles were somewhat distinct. Co-regulated gene modules and differential expression analysis both identified epidermal development and cellular architecture pathways to be expressed at lower levels in animals from the northern Gulf of Mexico. Although contaminant burdens measured were not significantly different between regions, some correlation with contaminant loads in individuals was observed among co-expressed gene modules, but these did not include classical detoxification pathways. Instead, this study identified other, possibly downstream pathways, including those involved in cellular architecture, immune response, and oxidative stress, that may prove to be contaminant responsive markers in bottlenose dolphin skin.
