Project description:Aquatic animals suffer from various environmental stresses because the aquatic environment is a very complex system. To monitor the health status of fish, Hsp90 a potential early warning marker was determined in Schizothorax prenanti after infection with a bacterium. In this study, we cloned Hsp90 from S. prenanti for the first time. The full-length cDNA sequence of SpHsp90 was 2663 bp, contains an open reading frame of 2181 bp, and has a gene encoding 726 amino acids, an estimated molecular mass of 83.38 kDa, and a theoretical isoelectric point of 4.91. The SpHsp90 amino acid sequence has five conserved HSP90 family signatures and shares 87.0-95.5 % identity with other vertebrates. Phylogenetic analysis and structure comparison indicated that SpHsp90 should be a β isoform of the HSP90 family. SpHsp90 was ubiquitously expressed in all examined tissues, and the highest level of expression was in the kidney. After Streptococcus agalactiae infection, the level of SpHsp90 expression had significant changes (P < 0.05) in the hepatopancreas, spleen, kidney, and blood. The expression increased to the highest level at 6 h in the blood and at 24 h in the hepatopancreas, spleen, and kidney. The results suggested that the SpHsp90 gene could be induced by S. agalactiae in S. prenanti and that SpHsp90 may be involved in resistance to bacterial infection and provide an early warning information. The kidney is the most suitable for detecting SpHsp90 after bacterial infection.

Dynamic Transcriptomic Profiling During Liver Development in <i>Schizothorax Prenanti</i>.

Project description:Liver is an important organ for glucose and lipid metabolism, immunity, and detoxification in fish. However, the gene regulatory network of postnatal liver development still remains unknown in teleost fish. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis on the liver of S. prenanti at three stages. A total of 1692 differentially expressed genes (DGEs) were identified across three liver developmental stages. The oil red O staining and PAS staining revealed that the lipid content of liver was increased and the glycogen content of liver was decreased during liver development. The fatty acids biosynthesis related genes were upregulated in adult and young stages compared with juvenile stage, while lipid degradation related genes were downregulated. The genes related to glycolysis, gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis were upregulated in juvenile or young stages compared with adult stage. Further pathway analysis indicated that the CYP450 pathway, cell cycle and amino acid metabolic pathway were induced in the process of liver maturation. Our study presents the gene expression pattern in different liver development stages of S. prenanti and may guide future studies on metabolism of S. prenanti liver.
