Project description:A sea bass oligo microarray platform was used to profile gene expression in whole heads of 38 days-old sea bass affected by prognathism, a skeletal malformation that strongly affects sea bass production. Two different conditions: i) prognathous individuals, and ii) normal individuals were analyzed. For each condition, total RNA was extracted from three (3) independent biological replicates, each consisting of pools of five (5) heads.
Project description:A sea bass oligo microarray platform was used to profile gene expression in mandibles of 58 days-old sea bass affected by prognathism, a skeletal malformation that strongly affects sea bass production. Two different conditions: i) protruding jaws, and ii) normal jaws were used for gene expression analysis. For each condition, total RNA was extracted from five (5) independent biological replicates, each consisting of pools of five (5) jaws.
Project description:A custom high density oligo-microarray (8 x 15K) was designed and printed by means of the eArray web tool (Agilent) to analyze the transcriptome of the three intestinal sections of Euroipan sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Naïve stock juveniles sea bass, maintained under intensive rearing conditions in the indoor experimental facilities of IATS, were sampled after overnight fasting for anterior, middle and posterior sections of intestine. The array comprised 60-oligomer sequences for 14,147 different sea bass annotated sequences. Total RNA (150ng) from individual fish were labelled with cyanine 3-CTP and 1,000ng of each labelled cRNA were hybridized to microarray slides. Analysis of the scanned data, including principal component analysis and unpaired t-test with Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction, was carried out with GeneSpring GX software (Agilent). Pathway analysis of differentially expressed sequences was performed using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software.

Two different conditions: i) protruding jaws, and ii) normal jaws were used for gene expression analysis. For each condition, total RNA was extracted from four (4) independent biological replicates, each consisting of pools of five (5) jaws. Statistical analysis with SAM (Significance Analysis of Microarray) identified 333 probes (corresponding to 242 unique transcripts) significantly down-regulated in deformed individuals compared to normal ones.
Project description:Pubertal development in males starts with the onset of spermatogenesis that implies the division of primary spermatogonia and their subsequent entry into meiosis. Whole genome microarray expression profile was used as a means to explore the molecular basis underlying the onset of pubertal development in sea bass. The present study is aimed at the characterization of the expression of genes involved in the onset of spermatogenesis in the European sea bass. The study is focused on the first stages of the process including the appearance of spermatocytes and thus the first meiotic divisions. The transcriptomic study using a sea bass-specific microarray resulted in a number of genes differentially expressed during the onset of spermatogenesis. Among those, genes involved in cell-cycle progression, microtubule assembly during meiosis or retinoic acid signaling pathway indicating that they can be used as potential molecular markers for the onset of spermatogenesis in sea bass.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding RNAs with a length of more than 200 bp, which play a vital regulatory role in intestinal immunity. Exposure to high temperature leads to death in many fish species, which is implicated in fish enteritis. Our study showed that fish enteritis was induced by acute heat stress. To date, which lncRNAs are participated in this process is still unclear. In the present study, based on the intestinal sequencing data of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, a total of 347,351,492 clean reads were generated from six cDNA libraries. Among them, 3399 novel lncRNA transcripts from 2488 lncRNA genes were identified. As expected, these lncRNAs exhibited shorter transcript lengths than protein-coding genes similar to those lncRNAs reported from other fish species. In total, 216 novel lncRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) in largemouth bass intestine (absolute log2 fold change > 2 and p-value < 0.05) and that 210 neighboring genes were cis-regulated by these DE-lncRNAs. An analysis of GO/KEGG enrichment showed that most of these cis-genes seemed to be significantly enriched in immune regulation (p < 0.05) and lncRNA MSTRG.8573 had an important role in regulating jak-stat signaling pathway during this process. Through this study, we showed a catalog of novel DE-lncRNAs involved in the occurrence of enteritis in largemouth bass under acute heat stress, which could provide some useful references by regulating lncRNAs to solve the heat stress-induced fish enteritis for further studies.
