Project description:Arctic charr is an especially attractive aquaculture species given that it features the desirable tissue traits of other salmonids, but can be bred and grown at inland freshwater tank farms year round. It is therefore of interest to develop upper temperature tolerant (UTT) strains of Arctic charr to increase the robustness of the species in the face of climate change, as well as to enable production in more southern regions. We conducted an acute temperature trial to identify temperature tolerant and intolerant Arctic charr individuals. Specifically, approximately 200 fish were transferred to an experimental tank (diameter: 1.86 m, depth 50 cm) and left to acclimate for 48 h at ambient temperature. After acclimation, 10 fish were removed to act as a control group, then water that had been diverted through a heat exchanger was added to the flow-through system to increase the water temperature in the tank by 6°C/h until it reached 22°C, then 0.5°C every 30 min until the water reached 25°C, the observed lethal temperature for these fish. When the water temperature reached 25°C, the temperature was held constant and the fish were closely monitored for signs of stress. The first and last 10 individuals to show loss of balance were quickly removed from the tank for sampling, thus representing the 5% least and most temperature tolerant fish, respectively. A reference design microarray study was then performed with the cGRASP 32K microarray using six samples from each group (Intolerant, Tolerant, Control) to identify genes differentially expressed between groups. The results of this study will feed into an ongoing Arctic charr marker-assisted selection based broodstock development program, and may contribute to population-based conservation initiatives for salmonids in general. 18 microarray slides representing 6 individuals from 3 treatment groups (Intolerant, Tolerant and Control). One test cDNA labeled with cy5 and the common reference aRNA labeled with Cy3 was hybridized to each slide Reference design: 18 slides (6 x Tolerant fish, 6x Intolerant fish, 6x Control fish) were used.

Project description:To determine the effects on the intestine gene expression of pathogen exposure to Enteromyxum leei. One fish group was exposed to E. leei-contaminated effluent (recipient group = R) . R fish (n= 66, average weight = 134 g) were placed in two replicated 200L fibre-glass tanks which were set to receive exclusively the effluent water from another tank containing 24 infected (donors = D; average weight = 127.3 g; prevalence of infection = 54%) gilthead sea bream. The D to R fish ratio was 0.8. Other 66 naïve fish were allocated in two replicated tanks (control group = CTRL) under the same conditions, but without receiving contaminated effluent. Over the course of the study, day length followed natural changes and water was heated in order to keep temperature always above 18ºC, the range was 18-23 ºC. Water was 5 µm-filtered and UV irradiated, and salinity was 37.5â°. Water flow was 10L/min and oxygen content of outlet water remained higher than 85%saturation. All fish were fed daily a commercial dry pellet diet at about 1% of body weight. Disease signs and daily mortalities were recorded throughout the experiments. The parasitic status of dead fish was checked by microscopic examination of fresh intestinal scrapings. Fish were sampled after 113 days post exposure (p.e.). Feeding was stopped one day prior to the sampling to ensure that the digestive tract was empty. Head kidney and posterior intestine were rapidly excised, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80 °C until RNA extraction and analysis. Keywords: Treated/Untreated, confinement, cortisol, stress response, time course, microarray 28 intestine samples - Twenty eight slides were hybridised using a reference design. Three groups (control, infected and non-infected) were compared using five individual fish in each group. Each sample was hybridised twice - the second being a dye-swap of the first.

Project description:Arctic charr thrive at high densities and can live in freshwater year round, making this species especially suitable for inland, closed containment aquaculture. However, it is a cold water salmonid, which both limits where the species can be farmed and places wild populations at particular risk to climate change. Previously, we identified genes associated with tolerance and intolerance to acute, lethal temperature stress in Arctic charr. However, there remained a need to examine the genes involved in the stress response to more realistic temperatures that could be experienced during a summer heat wave in grow-out tanks that are not artificially cooled, or under natural conditions. Here, we exposed Arctic charr to moderate heat stress of 15–18ºC for 72 hours, and gill tissues extracted before, during (i.e., at 72 hrs), immediately after cooling and after 72 hours of recovery at ambient temperature (6ºC) were used for gene expression profiling by microarray and qPCR analyses. The results revealed an expected pattern for heat shock protein (Hsp) expression, which was highest during heat exposure, with significantly reduced expression (approaching control levels) quickly thereafter. We also found that the expression of numerous ribosomal proteins was significantly elevated immediately and 72 hrs after cooling, suggesting that the gill tissues were undergoing ribosomal biogenesis while recovering from damage caused by heat stress. We suggest that these are candidate gene targets for the future development of genetic markers for broodstock development or for monitoring temperature stress and recovery in wild or cultured conditions. 24 microarray slides representing 6 individuals from 4 treatment groups (Control, During, After and Recovery). One test cDNA labeled with Cy5 and the common reference aRNA labeled with Cy3 was hybridized to each slide. Reference design: 6x control fish, 6x group D fish, 6x group A fish, 6x group R fish.

Project description:In fish, the sex determining mechanisms can broadly be classified as genotypic (GSD), temperature-dependent (TSD), or genotypic plus temperature effects (GSD+TE). For the fish species with TSD or GSD+TE, extremely high or low temperature can affect its sex determination and differentiation. For long time, the underlying changes in DNA methylation that occur during high or low temperature induced sex reversal have not been fully clarified. In this study, we used Nile tilapia as a model to perform a genome-wide survey of differences in DNA methylation in female and male gonads between control and high temperature induced groups using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP). We identified the high temperature induction-related differentially methylated regions (DMRs), and performed functional enrichment analysis for genes exhibiting DMR. These identified differentially methylated genes were potentially involved in the connection between environmental temperature and sex reversal in Nile tilapia. In this study, four samples (control females, CF; control males, CM; induced females, IF; induced males, IM) were analyzed.

Project description:Training at sustainable swimming speeds can produce changes in fish skeletal muscle that are important for aquaculture due to their growth-potentiating effects. Such changes may be even more relevant when fish are fed diets containing an increasing proportion of carbohydrates as an energy source. We evaluated the effects of moderate-intensity sustained swimming on the transcriptomic response of red and white muscle in rainbow trout fed a carbohydrate-rich diet using microarray and qPCR. Analysis of the red and white muscle transcriptome revealed significant changes in the expression of a large number of genes (395 and 597, respectively), with a total of 218 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) common for both muscles. A large number of the genes involved in glucose use and energy generation, contraction, development, synthesis and catabolism of proteins were up-regulated in red and white muscle. Additionally, DEGs in both muscles were involved in processes of defense response and apoptosis. Skeletal muscle contraction activates a transcriptional program required for the successful adaptation of both muscles to the changing demands imposed by swimming conditions. Future studies should further clarify the mechanisms involved in the adaptation of both tissues to exercise and assess possible benefits of such conditions for cultured fish. Total RNA from pooled red and white skeletal muscle samples of individual rainbow trout from each group (resting fish, n=8; swimming fish, n=8) was labeled with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP (GE Healthcare, Barcelona, Spain). We used a dye swap experimental design and each cDNA from a pooled RNA sample was hybridized to two microarrays. For the first slide, cDNAs from resting and swimming fish were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3, respectively, and for the second array dye assignment was reversed. Therefore, samples from individual fish within each group were pooled and expression values shown represent the means of 6 M-CM-^W 2 = 12 technical replicates. A total of four slides were used in this study

Project description:Low temperatures may cause severe growth inhibition and mortality in fish. In order to understand the mechanism of cold tolerance, a transgenic zebrafish Tg (smyd1:m3ck) model was established to study the effect of energy homeostasis during cold stress. The muscle-specific promoter Smyd1 was used to express the carp muscle form III of creatine kinase (M3-CK), which maintained enzymatic activity at a relatively low temperature, in zebrafish skeletal muscle. In situ hybridization showed that M3-CK was expressed strongly in the skeletal muscle. When exposed to 13M-BM-0C, Tg (smyd1:m3ck) fish maintained their swimming behavior, while the wild-type could not. Energy measurements showed that the concentration of ATP increased in Tg (smyd1:m3ck) versus wild-type fish at 28M-BM-0C. After 2 h at 13M-BM-0C, ATP concentrations were 2.16-fold higher in Tg (smyd1:m3ck) than in wild-type (P < 0.05). At 13M-BM-0C, the ATP concentration in Tg (smyd1:m3ck) fish and wild-type fish was 63.3% and 20.0%, respectively, of that in wild-type fish at 28M-BM-0C. Microarray analysis revealed differential expression of 1249 transcripts in Tg (smyd1:m3ck) versus wild-type fish under cold stress. Biological processes that were significantly overrepresented in this group included circadian rhythm, energy metabolism, lipid transport, and metabolism. These results are clues to understanding the mechanisms underlying temperature acclimation in fish. Gene expression in triplicate samples of m3ck-13M-BM-0C, m3ck-28M-BM-0C, wt-13M-BM-0C, and wt-28M-BM-0C was assessed. Twelve microarray experiments were performed, each with three fish.

Project description:Transcriptional plasticity is a major driver of phenotypic differences between species. The lower temperature limit (LTL), namely the lower end of survival temperature, is an important trait delimiting the geographical distribution of a species, however, the genetic mechanisms are poorly understood. We investigated the inter-species transcriptional diversification in cold responses between zebrafish Danio rerio and tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, which were reared at a common temperature (28°C) but have distinct LTLs. We identified significant expressional divergence between the two species in the orthologous genes from gills when the temperature cooled to the LTL of tilapia (8°C). Five KEGG pathways were found sequentially over-represented in the zebrafish/tilapia divergently expressed genes in the duration (12 hour) of 8°C exposure, forming a signaling cascade from metabolic regulation to apoptosis via FoxO signaling. Consistently, we found differential progression of apoptosis in the gills of the two species in which zebrafish manifested a delayed and milder apoptotic phenotype than tilapia, corresponding with a lower LTL of zebrafish. We identified diverged expression in 25 apoptosis-related transcription factors between the two species which forms an interacting network with diverged factors involving the FoxO signaling and metabolic regulation. We propose a genetic network which regulates LTL in fishes. Examination of gene expressional divergence in gill between zebrafish and tilapia

Project description:The effects of temperature on teleosts have been of strong interest for a long time, particularly because low temperature profoundly influences the physiological and behavioral processes of ectotherms, especially teleosts. However, the cold-tolerance characteristics of fish at a protein level remains unclear. Therefore, in order to shed further light on the molecular mechanisms of low temperature adaptation in fish, we conducted quantitative proteomics on T. fasciatus liver using iTRAQ. Comparing the proteomic profiles of the T. fasciatus liver at 12℃ and 26℃, a total of 3741 proteins were identified, and 160 were differentially expressed. Among the differentially expressed proteins, the most significant changes were noted in those involved in oxidative stress (nine proteins), mitochondrial enzymes (eleven proteins) and signal transduction (thirteen proteins). The KEGG enrichment analysis indicated significant enhancement of D-arginine and D-ornithine metabolism, MAPK signaling, Wnt signaling and Gap junction pathway. Subsequently, three significantly up-regulated (CIRB, HSP90 and GST) and two significantly down-regulated proteins (FLNB and A2ML1) were validated by the parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assays. Furthermore, the changes in expression of proteins involved in the oxidative stress, mitochondrial enzymes and signal transduction were validated at the transcriptional level using qPCR. These verification results show that the experimental data of iTRAQ are reliable. Our results not only deepen an understanding of the mechanisms underlying low temperature tolerance in fish, but also may contribute to its breeding for enhancement of cold tolerance.

Project description:We report the proteomic characterization of livers from Sparus aurata exposed to cold temperatures. In this study, mimicking the winter challenge conditions, a 8 week feeding trial was carried out on gilthead sea bream juveniles reared in RAS systems at a temperature ramp made of two phases of four weeks each: a cooling phase from 18°C 8 (t0) to 11°C (t1) and a cold maintenance phase at 11°C (t2). Sparus aurata livers, after exposure to the three temperature phases (t0, t1 and t2), were collected and analyzed using a shotgun proteomics approach based on filter-aided sample preparation followed by tandem mass spectrometry, peptide identification carried out using Sequest-HT as search engine within the Proteome Discoverer informatic platform, and label-free differential analysis. Along the whole trial, sea breams underwent several changes occurring upon thermal stress in liver protein abundance. These occurred mostly during the cooling phase, when catabolic processes were mainly observed. These included protein and lipid degradation and a decrease in protein synthesis and amino acid metabolism. A decrease in protein mediators of oxidative stress protection was also seen. Liver protein profiles showed less marked changes during cold maintenance, although pathways such as the methionine cycle and sugar metabolism were significantly affected. This study provided useful hints on the dynamics and extent of the metabolic shift occurring in sea bream liver with decreasing water temperature, helping the development of feeds aimed at compensating the thermal stress encountered by fish in offshore farming conditions.

Project description:In Sparus aurata, seasonal temperature variations outside the normal thermal range, may trigger physiological responses leading to pathologies and death. In the present study two groups of wild sea bream were exposed for 21 days to two temperature regimes: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control group) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold-exposed group). Samples were collected during the acute phase (0, 6 and 24 hours after temperature drop) and upon chronic exposure (21 days). A comparative analysis of gene expression was conducted between S. aurata exposed to 6.8°C. Two groups of wild sea breams (120±16 g body weight; 21±1 cm total length) caught in Valle Bonello were kept in duplicate groups in four 5 m3 circular recycling tanks and acclimated over one month at 16 °C (Di Marco et al. 2010). Fish were then exposed for 21 days to two different temperature treatments: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control groups) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold groups). Both groups were fasted during the trial. Warm and cold water temperature conditions were maintained by supplying tanks with two separate re-circulating systems equipped with mechanical and biological filters. Cold water conditions were achieved by inducing two consecutive temperature drops: water was firstly gradually cooled from 16 °C to 12 °C at a rate of 1°C day -1 and then reduced from 12 °C to 6.8 °C within 24 h. This temperature was then kept for 21 days. Ten fish per treatment were sampled at different intervals during acute: 0 (T1), 6 (T2) and 24 hours (T3), and chronic exposure (21 days; T4) to low temperature. Fish were firstly anaesthetized in a solution of tricaine methanesulphonate (300 mg/l; MS 222, Finquel) in a 30-litre bucket and then euthanized by severing their spinal cord. Liver samples (about 30 mg) were collected from each specimen, incubated in RNA later at 4 °C for 24 h and then stored at -20 °C. Total RNA was extracted from tissue samples using the RNAeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA concentration was determined using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer NanoDrop® ND-1000 (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, USA). RNA integrity and quality was evaluated by means of Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) and Expert software according to Ferraresso et al. (2008). RNA integrity number (RIN) index was calculated for each sample that provides a numerical assessment of RNA integrity. This value facilitates the standardization of the quality interpretation; only RNAs with RIN >8 were used for further microarray experiments. Once single RNA samples were extracted and measured, 3 pools (Pool_A consisting of four individuals, Pool_B and _C of three) per each sampling-time point were prepared. This was aimed at getting a sufficient statistical power which is reached by a minimum of three biological replicates per analysed point and at reducing microarray analysis cost. To perform DNA microarray analyses has been used the microarray platform GPL6467 (Ferraresso et al. 2008). Sample labelling and hybridization were performed according to the Agilent One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis protocol. For each of 24 liver pools 500 ng of total RNA were linearly amplified and labelled with Cy3-dCTP, using the Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit PLUS one-color (Agilent Technologies). A total of 24 Agilent 4 x 44K sea bream microarrays (12 samples from both control and cold groups) were then hybridized. An Agilent G2565BA DNA microarray scanner was used to scan arrays at 5 µm resolution, Feature Extraction Software 9.5.1 was then used to process and analyse array images. The software returns a series of spot quality measures in order to evaluate the goodness and the reliability of spot intensity estimates. Filtering and cyclic lowess normalization were performed using R statistical software (http://www.r-project.org/).
