Project description:The liver plays a central role in vertebrate glucose homeostasis, and is also one of the most sexually dimorphic organs in terms of gene expression. While the extent of hepatic sexual dimorphism has been well described in mammals, little is known regarding this phenomenon in non-mammalian species, particularly fish. In this study, we examined hepatic gene expression and physiological phenotypes (growth, proximate body composition, retention efficiencies) to determine whether male and female zebrafish respond differently to diets comprised of 0, 15, 25, or 35 % carbohydrate. Using both Affymetrix microarrays and qRTPCR, we observed substantial sexual dimorphism in the hepatic transcriptome, and the response of some genes to dietary carbohydrate manipulation also varied by sex. Males upregulated genes associated with oxidative metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, and amelioration of oxidative stress, while females had higher expression levels of genes associated with translation. Males also expressed elevated levels of hnf4α, a gene thought to be involved in regulating hepatic sexual dimorphism in the rodent. Dietary carbohydrate affected hepatic gene expression, growth performance, retention efficiencies of protein and energy, and percentage of moisture, lipid, and ash. Significant diet effects reflected differences between the 0% carbohydrate diet and the other diets, consistent with previous work on other cyprinids showing a high tolerance for dietary carbohydrate. Our data support the use of the zebrafish as a model for the study of both normal and disease states associated with carbohydrate metabolism, and highlight the importance of accounting for both sex and diet; The liver plays a central role in vertebrate glucose homeostasis, and is also one of the most sexually dimorphic organs in terms of gene expression.

Project description:The possible benefits of selenium (Se) supplementation are currently under investigation for prevention of certain cancers and treatment of neurological disorders. Little is known concerning the response of the brain to increased dietary Se under conditions of Se sufficiency, despite the majority of Se supplementation trials occurring in healthy subjects considered Se sufficient. We evaluated the transcriptional response of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain to supplementation with nutritionally relevant levels of dietary Se (sodium selenite) during conditions of assumed Se sufficiency. We used a microarray approach to analyze the global gene expression response of the brain to dietary Se supplementation for 14 days. The experiment used Affymetrix microarrays to compare whole brain RNA from 8 adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) fed a diet with control selenium levels (1.4ppmSe) and 8 fed a diet supplemented with sodium selenite (5.6ppmSe) for 14 days, and with an equal sex ratio within each diet.

Project description:We tested the hypothesis that the behavioral response to selenium (Se) follows a hormetic dose response pattern, manifested through the functions of selenoproteins within the brain. We measured anxiety-related behaviors in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at deficient, control and supplemented levels of dietary Se, and measured the transcriptional response of selenoprotein genes important for neuroprotection. We also used a microarray approach to assess the transcriptomic response of the midbrain to Se. The behavioral response to Se was characterized by hormesis, and the direction, magnitude, and shape of the hormetic responses were dependent on both sex and zebrafish population. Transcription of selenoproteins within the midbrain also responded to Se in a similar hormetic dose-dependent manner, with sex and population influencing the trajectory of the responses. The hormetic behavioral response to Se may therefore be manifested through selenoproteins in the brain, but the influence is not direct. We performed a microarray analysis comparing the midbrain-specific transcriptome between male zebrafish from two populations (Pargana: P and Transgenic Mosaic 1: T) fed either a control, Se deficient, or Se supplemented diet (17 total samples: 9 fish per population, 3 fish per diet: missing 1 P control sample).

Project description:We used microarray analyses in adult female zebrafish (Danio rerio) to identify metabolic pathways regulated by starvation in two key organs that 1) serve biosynthetic and energy mobilizing functions (liver) and 2) consume energy and direct behavioral responses (brain). Starvation affected the expression of 574 transcripts in the liver, indicating an overall decrease in metabolic activity, reduced lipid metabolism, protein biosynthesis and proteolysis, and cellular respiration, and increased gluconeogenesis. Starvation also regulated expression of many components of the Unfolded Protein Response, the first such report in a species other than yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and mice (Mus musculus). The response of the zebrafish hepatic transcriptome to starvation was strikingly similar to that of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), but very different from common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and mouse. The transcriptome of zebrafish whole brain was much less affected than the liver, with only two differentially expressed genes, both down-regulated. Down-regulation of one of these genes, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (mmp9), suggests increased inhibition of apoptosis (neuroprotection) and decreased restructuring of the extracellular matrix in the brain of starved zebrafish. The low level of response in the transcriptome of whole zebrafish brain agrees with observations that the brain is metabolically protected compared to the rest of the body. Keywords: starvation study
