ABSTRACT: Transcriptional changes in innate immunity genes in head kidney associated with Aeromonus salmonicida infection in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixture-fed rainbow trout
Project description:The objective of this study was to identify and quantify proteomic profiles of head kidney 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 head kidney was washed three times with sterile phosphate-buffered saline containing a cocktail of mammalian protease inhibitors. Head kidney samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80 °C.
Project description:Purpose:Our data significantly advance understanding of heat stress regulatory mechanism of miRNA in the head kidney of rainbow trout Methods:miRNAs of rainbow trout were involved in heat stress were identified by high-throughput sequencing of six small RNA libraries of the kidney tissues under control (18℃) and heat-treated (24℃) conditions Results:high-throughput sequencing was performed to identify miRNAs responsive to heat stress. We obtained 41,991,119 and 43,882,123 raw reads and 39,756,736 and 42,538,331 clean reads from under control (18℃) and heat-treated (24℃) .A total of 392 conserved miRNAs and 989 novel miRNAs were identified, of which 78 miRNAs were expressed in different response to heat stress. In addition to, including 393 negative correlation miRNA-target gene pairs Conclusions:through high-throughput sequencing of the six libraries from head kidney tissue of rainbow trout, the expression level of miRNA has significant changes after heat stress.

Project description:The aim of this sequencing experiment was to make available tissue expression panels for selected fish species for comparative expression studies between the species. Tissue samples were collected for zebrafish (Danio rerio), medaka (Oryzias latipes), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Tissue types included liver, skin, muscle, heart, gut, gill, eye, brain for all three species, with additionally pyloric caeca, kidney, head kidney, and spleen for rainbow trout. Only liver samples were taken in replicate of four or three for rainbow trout. All fish were raised under standard rearing conditions for the species. Total RNA was extracted from the tissue samples and paired‐end sequencing of sample libraries was completed on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 with 125‐bp reads. Processed count tables per species as raw counts, FPKM, or TPM, were generated from read alignment to the Ensembl genomes of the respective species using STAR and gene level counting using RSEM and Ensembl gene annotation.
