Project description:We examined gene expression profiling of mussels treated with two chemical mixtures composed by heavy metals or organic compounds, both including genotoxic agents (cadmium, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-nitro/amino-pyrene) and other contaminants (cupper, mercury, fluoranthene, TCDD). For digestive gland one RNA sample from control mussels and one from each treatment group (7 mussels) were competitively hybridized on the MytArray 1.0. Total RNA was reverse-transcribed and labeled using a Cy3-dCTP and Cy5-dCTP direct incorporation. We carried out two separate hybridizations for each treatment conditions.

Project description:Colonization of deep-sea hydrothermal vents by invertebrates was made efficient through their adaptation to a symbiotic lifestyle with chemosynthetic bacteria, the primary producers of these ecosystems. Anatomical adaptations such as the establishment of specialized cells or organs have been evidenced in numerous deep-sea invertebrates. However, very few studies detailed global inter-dependencies between host and symbionts in these ecosystems. In this study, we proposed to describe, using a proteo-transcriptomic approach, the effects of symbionts on the deep-sea mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus’ molecular biology. We induced an in situ depletion of symbionts and compared the proteo-transcriptome of the gills of mussels in three conditions: symbiotic mussels (natural population), symbiont-depleted mussels and aposymbiotic mussels

Project description:The present study tried to assess transcription level effects in the digestive gland of female mussels dietarily exposed to Ag NPs and to compare such transcription profiles in two different seasons, autumn and spring, since mussels are expected to be at a different gamete developmental stage (early and advanced gametogenic stage, respectively).

Project description:The nacre color of shells has an effect on the pearl color in Hyriopsis cumingii, and is an important indicator for its value. However, little exosome and micro (mi)RNA information are available on nacre color formation in mussels. In this study, exosomes of mantles were extracted from white and purple mussels. High-throughput Illumina sequencing was performed on the white and purple mussel mantle exosomes.Moreover, miR-223 negatively regulated hcApo, which plays important roles in the absorption and transport of β-carotene in H. cumingii. These results improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of nacre color formation in H. cumingii.

Project description:Endogenously determined inter-individual differences in growth rate of bivalve molluscs have been widely analyzed at different organizational levels. Most studies have focused on the characterization of the physiological differences between fast (F) and slow (S) growing individuals. Although several genes have been described to be up regulated on fast growing individuals, the molecular basis underlying the mechanisms at the origin of growth variation is still poorly understood. In the present study we reared mussel spat of the species Mytilus galloprovincialis under diets below the pseudofaeces threshold (BP) and above the pseudofaeces threshold (AP). After 3 months, F and S mussels on each condition were selected, so that 4 experimental groups were obtained: FBP, SBP, FAP and SAP. We hypothesized that nurturing conditions during their growing period would modify the molecular basis of growth rate differences. However, results of feeding experiments showed that F mussels displayed higher clearance and ingestion rates and higher efficiencies of food selection prior to ingestion, as well as higher gill surface areas, irrespective of the rearing nutritional environment. To decipher molecular mechanism at the origin of growth variation, gills of the 4 mussel groups were dissected, and used for transcriptome analysis with a custom Agilent single channel microarray. Gene expression analysis revealed i) a low number (12) of genes differentially expressed associated to maintenance condition differences and ii) 117 genes differentially expressed when comparing fast and slow growing mussels (FBP + FAP vs. SBP + SAP). We further investigated this comparison: GO terms and KEGG pathway association of the differentially expressed genes allowed us to analyze the functions involved on the differentially expressed encoding. Transcriptomic differences between F and S mussels were mainly based on the up-regulation of response to stimulus, growth and cell activity Biological Process GO terms. Regarding the KEGG terms, carbohydrate metabolism and Krebs cycle were found to be up-regulated in F mussels whereas biosynthetic processes were up-regulated in S mussels. Among the differentially expressed genes that are annotated, the following ones were found to be up regulated in F mussels: i) Mucin, related to mucus secretion, known to be crucial in food acquisition and pre-ingestive selection processes in bivalves, ii) genes related to growth such as Myostatin or Insulin-like growth factor, iii) genes involved in feeding activity, such as Fibrocystin or Dynein and iv) genes involved in the energetic metabolism; Citrate synthase. S mussels mainly over-expressed genes related to immune system and defence (Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein, Metalloendopeptidase, Small heat shock protein 24, Multidrug resistance,…).The present results suggest that differences in feeding activity and in the allocation of metabolic energy between growth groups could account for the differences in growth rate in spat of Mytilus galloprovincialis. In accordance with their higher feeding rates and growth, fast growing mussels were found to mainly over-express genes involved in the development and maintenance of such activities, however, slow growing mussels needed to expend energy in immune and defence processes to ensure survival at the expense of growth rate.

Project description:To identify the expression profiles of zebra mussel byssus unique genes with the regeneration of the byssal threads, a time-course study was performed. The RNA samples from the feet of fully attached zebra mussels (maintained attachment for more than 4 weeks) were extracted as common reference. The detached mussels were allowed to re-attach on underwater surface. Then the RNA samples from feet of the mussels at different time points post detachment were taken, namely, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 7 days, and 21 days post detachment. The comparisons of the genes expression profiles were made between different time points and reference, as well as the any two connected time points (expect for 7 days and 21 days).
