Project description:Common carp is one of the main commercial fishes captured and cultured worldwide. Although common carp genome is not finished yet, this study provides a first large scale cloning and characterization of common carp miRNAs and their potential targets. These miRNAs add to the growing database of new miRNA and lay the foundation for further understanding of miRNA function in gene regulation of common carp. We constructed a small RNA library from 17 Cyprinus carpio samples.
Project description:Allotetraploid Hybrids of Red Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus red var) (♀) and Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L) (♂) is a species produced by distant hybridization. In this study, SWATH-MS were applied for quantitative proteomics profiling in gonad tissue of allotetraploid and its parents Red Crucian Carp (♀) and Common Carp (♂) respectively.
Project description:This study evaluated the effects of astaxanthin on the traits of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and identified the causes of flesh color changes. The conversion of astaxanthin by the liver was assessed based on in vitro experiments. Using liver proteomics, computer-aided protein homology modeling and reverse molecular docking techniques, the possible metabolic pathways of astaxanthin in common carp were analyzed.

Project description:Genome-wide analysis of skin color-related lncRNA and mRNA expression in Koi carp, Cyprinus carpio L. LncRNAs information linked to fish skin color regulation is over-limited. In this study, Illumina sequencing and bioinformatics were primarily conducted on black, white and red skin colors of Koi carp. A total of 590,415,050 clean reads, 446,614 putative transcripts, 4,252 known and 72,907 novel lncRNAs were simultaneously obtained, respectively. Out of these genes, 92 significant differentially expressed lncRNAs and 722 mRNAs were excavated. Ccr_lnc5622441, Ccr_lnc765201 were found up-regulated in black and red skins; Ccr_lnc14074601 were up-regulated in white skin; and premelanosome proteins a (Pmela), tyrosinase (Tyr) were up-regulated in black skin, etc. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) further validated 12 differentially expressed genes were consistent with RNA-seq. Moreover, 70 lncRNAs on 107 target mRNAs in cis and 79 lncRNAs on 41,625 target mRNAs in trans were investigated, the networks revealed one lncRNAs can connected with numerous mRNAs, vice versa. These findings broadened the lncRNAs landscape of skin colors and provided new insights into the mechanisms underlying lncRNAs mediated pigmentation and differentiation in Koi carp.
Project description:ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in industrial and consumer products. Thus, understanding their interaction with biological systems is the key for their safe application. The aim of present study was to evaluate the toxicological effects on the intestine of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, after dietary exposure to ZnO NPs. To assess the toxicity of ZnO NPs and of their toxic mechanism to gastrointestinal tract, we applied label free protein quantification on carp intestine considering the fact that fish are on the top of food chain in aquatic ecosystems. Even though carp and zebrafish do not have five intestinal segments like mammals (Brugman, 2016), previous studies have revealed that intestinal anatomy and architecture in cyprinid teleost fish is closely related to mammals with functional homology (Curry, 1939). Therefore, the findings can also provide beneficial information to understand the mechanisms underlying NPs toxicity in mammals.

Project description:Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is a ciliated protozoan parasite recognized as one of the most pathogenic diseases of wild and cultured freshwater fish. Fish skin mucus plays a significant role against invading pathogens. However, the protein-based modulation against infection with I. multifiliis, of host fish at this barrier is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulation of the skin mucus after infection with I. multifiliis using quantitative proteomics to provide insights into the post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation of skin mucus proteins. Thus, we investigated the skin mucus proteome of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) using a shotgun proteomic approach at days 1 and 9 after I. multifiliis exposure.
