Project description:We evaluated both the transcriptomic and inflammatory response in trout (O. mykiss) macrophages in primary cell culture stimulated with DAP-PGN (DAP; meso-diaminopimelic acid, PGN; peptidoglycan) from two strains of Escherichia coli (PGN-K12 and PGN-O111:B4) over time. Transcript profiling was assessed using function-targeted cDNA microarrays hibridation (n = 36) to differential responses to both PGNs that are both time and treatment dependen over trout macrophages. Wild type E. coli (K12) generated an increase in transcript number/diversity over time whereas PGN-O111:B4 stimulation resulted in a more specific and intense response. In line with this gene Ontology analysis (GO) highlights a specific transcriptomic remodelling for PGN-O111:B4 whereas results obtained for PGN-K12 shows a high similarity with a general LPS response where multiple functional classes are related to ribosome biogenesis or cellular metabolism Two-condition experiment, PGN vs. control cells. Biological replicates: 18 control, 18 treated. Dye-swap.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify and quantify proteomic profiles of spleen of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Specific pathogen free rainbow trout (mean length 15 ± 1 cm) were maintained in recirculating de-chlorinated water at 19±1 °C. Prior to the experiment, fish were distributed between 9 aquaria, 18 fish per aquarium. The test groups were infected by immersion of Yersinia ruckeri strains: CSF007-82 (biotype 1) and 7959-11 (biotype 2). The control group was immersed similar with sterile broth medium. There were 3 aquaria per each group (CSF007-82-infected, 7959-11-infected and control). Nine fish from infected and control fish groups were anaesthetized with MS-222 at 3, 9 and 28 days post exposure and sampled aseptically. Each spleen was washed three times with sterile phosphate-buffered saline containing a cocktail of mammalian protease inhibitors. Spleen samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80 °C.
Project description:The objective of this study was to identify and quantify proteomic profiles of head kidney of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify and quantify proteomic profiles of intestine of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Specific pathogen free rainbow trout (mean length 15 ± 1 cm) were maintained in recirculating de-chlorinated water at 19±1 °C. Prior to the experiment, fish were distributed between aquaria. The test groups were infected by immersion of Yersinia ruckeri CSF007-82 (biotype 1) and 7959-11 (biotype 2) strains. The control group was immersed similar with sterile broth medium. Fish were anaesthetized and sampled aseptically at different time points. Each intestine was washed three times with sterile phosphate-buffered saline containing a cocktail of mammalian protease inhibitors. Intestinal mucosa was scraped with a sterile large scalpel blade. Intestinal samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80 °C.
Project description:Stocking density is considered as a key factor determining the productivity of fish aquaculture systems. The transcriptomic response to crowding stress is, however, still poorly investigated. We aimed at the identification of potential biomarker genes via microarray analyses to get insight into molecular pathways modulated through density-induced stress in farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Transcriptome profiling in liver, kidney, and gills was complemented with behaviarol observation and analysis of classical plasma parameters. Individuals of two trout strains were exposed for eight days to definite stocking densities, 1 kg/m³ (low density); 10 kg/m³ (moderate); 18 kg/m³ (elevated); and 35 kg/m³ (high). Whereas stocking density had no significant effect on cortisol levels, plasma glucose levels were elevated in trout kept at high density. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the upregulation of HIF1a signaling in liver contributing to glucose homeostasis during stress conditions, while mTOR and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways were downregulated. Further perturbed hepatic pathways were involved in protein ubiquitination and the biosynthesis of cholesterol, retinol and glutathione. Three stocking density conditions were investigated: an uncrowded âmoderateâ density (MD: 10 kg trout/m³) , an elevated density (ED: 18 kg/m³ ), and high density (HD: 35 kg/m³). The experiment was performed twice with two strains of Steelhead rainbow trout (Troutlodge and Born trout), randomly assigned to identical glass tanks with MD (30 and 34 individuals), ED (60 and 64 individuals), and HD (120 and 140 individuals). Trout were sampled 8 d after experimental onset.
