Proteomic portraits of egg quality in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

ABSTRACT: Humans and animals have problems producing eggs with high embryo developmental competence, but the causes of poor egg quality are usually unknown. This study delivered the first proteomic portraits of egg quality in zebrafish, a leading model for vertebrate development. Egg batches of good and poor quality, evidenced by embryo survival for 24 h, were used to create pooled or replicated sample sets subjected to different levels of fractionation before LC-MS/MS. Obtained spectra were searched against a custom zebrafish proteome database and detected proteins were annotated, categorized and quantified based on their normalized spectral counts. Manual and automated enrichment analyses were highly confirmative, showing that good and poor quality eggs have disparate proteomes. Proteins involved in protein synthesis, energy metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and certain vitellogenin products were strikingly underrepresented in poor quality eggs. Poor quality eggs also had significantly higher representation of proteins related to immune system and endosome/lysosome functioning, oncogenes, and apoptosis, as well as lectins and egg envelope proteins. Quantitative comparisons of highly abundant proteins revealed 9 candidate egg quality markers warranting further study. In conclusion, the zebrafish egg proteome appears to be linked to embryo developmental potential, a phenomenon that begs further investigation.

Egg quality is a complex biological trait and a major determinant of reproductive fitness in all animals. This study delivered the first proteomic portraits of egg quality in zebrafish, a leading biomedical model for early development. Egg batches of good and poor quality, evidenced by embryo survival for 24 h, were sampled immediately after spawning and used to create pooled or replicated sample sets whose protein extracts were subjected to different levels of fractionation before liquid chroma ...[more]

Project description:Molecular profiling of the eggs is an excellent approach aiming at understanding biological processes and mechanisms conditioning developmental competence in finfishes and, consequently, reproductive fitness. Despite many efforts, it is still unclear what is the specific role of transcriptome and proteome in determination of egg quality in Teleostei fishes. The aim of this study was to perform integrated transcriptomic-proteomic analysis of eggs of pikeperch – a commercially relevant freshwater fish species. Additionally, comparative analysis of transcriptome and proteome in eggs characterized by either high or low egg quality has been performed, in order to identify mechanisms leading to early embryonic lethality in pikeperch. Our study provides a novel insight into the understanding of the role of maternally-derived molecular cargo in finfishes. The data obtained sheds light on the importance of transcriptome in development of nervous system suggesting neurogenesis-related mRNAs as a very important, non-genetic inheritance factor. Proteomic analysis highlights specific role of proteins in the immune response in ovulated eggs. Integrated analysis brings attention to the galactose-specific lectin nattectin gene and protein as the frontline defense molecule for the egg and developing embryo. The molecular analysis of egg developmental competence emphasizes post-vitellogenic processes (final oocyte maturation and ovulation) as the ones potentially compromising transcriptomic profile, but not affecting proteomic cargo. It highlights the need for careful reconsideration of the commercial reproductive protocols as the very strong modulators of egg quality and their molecular profile. Considering the mechanisms driving these alterations as well as consequences stemming from the differential abundance of the transcripts are still to be explored, the candidate quality markers, first time provided for pikeperch along with the current study, are creating valuable resource for further studies.
