Project description:We established a bacteria infective intestinal inflammation in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). And found that β-glucan could significantly alleviate the phenotype of turbot intestinal inflammation. We performed single cell transcriptome analysis to study bacteria infective intestinal inflammation and the effects of β-glucan. Furthermore, we revealed that β-glucan through activates Th17 cells to alleviate intestinal inflammation in turbot.
Project description:We establish a trained immunity activation model in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) by training with β-glucan in vivo. Through single cell RNA-sequencing analysis, we annotate 16 clusters of immune cells and blood cells from head kidney and spleen, and successfully characterize that neutrophils exhibit distinguished feature of trained immunity.

Project description:Transcriptome of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)
Project description:With the aim of shedding light on the protection conferred by the DNA vaccines based in the G glycoprotein of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) we have used a specific microarray highly enriched in antiviral sequences to carry out the transcriptomic study associated to VHSV DNA vaccination/infection. The differential gene expression pattern in response to empty plasmid (pMCV1.4) and DNA vaccine (pMCV1.4-G860) intramuscular administration with regard to non-stimulated turbot was analyzed in head kidney at 8, 24 and 72 hours post-vaccination. Moreover, the effect of VHSV infection one month after immunization was also analyzed in vaccinated and non-vaccinated fish at the same time points.

Project description:trancriptomic analyses of the turbot Scophthalmus maximus
Project description:This project aimed to assess the toxicity underlying the exposure of Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), an economically valuable fish species, to TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles (NPs). To carry out the study, juvenile fish were exposed to TiO2 and Ag NPs incorporated in the diet. After 14 days of exposure fish were euthanized and liver and kidney samples collected for proteomics. The shotgun proteomics analysis revealed quantitative changes in multiple proteins. The results suggest effects of TiO2 and Ag NPs in energy/lipid metabolism and for instance alterations in ribosome functions, protein biosynthesis and related processes. This proteomic study provided as well candidate biomarkers for NPs exposure in aquaculture species.
Project description:Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a valuable resource for aquaculture in Galicia (NW Spain). Since it has been observed that viral hemorraghic septicaemia can affect turbot, among other finfish, increase of knowledge in molecular factors affected by the exposure to pathogen could help to develop strategies of VHSV prevention and treatment. In this study, it has been used a custom oligo-microarray by Agilent to identify genes differentially expressed in several turbot families showing different susceptibility to VHSV. Fishes from each family (n=30) were injected with either VHSV (Resistant) or control medium (Naive) and monitored for 30 days, when each group was splitted in two new groups and rechallenged with VHSV (Infected) or control medium (Control). Gene expression at the head kidney was evaluated, showing than an important proportion of the variation of the gene expression profiles is explained by the genetic background (family). After infection, fish showed an up-regulation of the interferon-induced Mx2 gene, the IL-8 gene and the VHSV-induced protein 5 gene compared with control groups. Familes with high mortality after VHSV infection showed lower levels of expression of molecules secreted in the mucus and, by contrast, higher expression of genes involved in viral entrance into target cells. 4 different families of turbot were subjected to challenged with VHSV and splitted after 30 days in 2
