Project description:The study was designed to investigate the impacts of hatchery spawning and rearing on steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) versus the wild fish on a molecular level. Additionally, epigenetic differences between feeding practices that allow slow growth and fast growth hatchery trout were investigated. The sperm and RBC DNA both had a large number of DMRs when comparing the hatchery versus wild steelhead trout populations. Interestingly, the DMRs were cell type specific with negligible overlap. Slow growth compared to fast growth steelhead also had a larger number of DMRs in the RBC samples. Observations demonstrate a major epigenetic programming difference between the hatchery and wild fish populations, but negligible genetic differences. Therefore, hatchery conditions and growth rate can alter the epigenetic developmental programming of the steelhead trout, which may correlate to the phenotypic variations observed.
Project description:The aim of present study is to identify and quantify proteins involved in the events of fertilization and early embryo development using a label-free protein quantification method in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as an economically important fish species in aquaculture.
Project description:The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most important aquaculture species worlwide. In this study, transcriptional profiling of skin by oligonucleotide microarray was applied to rainbow trout individuals infected with A. salmonicida, to identified enriched genes involved in pathogen response.
Project description:The mechanisms of cardiotoxicity of the three widespread model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) retene, pyrene and phenanthrene were explored in rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) early life stages. Newly hatched larvae were exposed to sublethal doses of each individual PAH causing no detectable morphometric alterations. Changes in the cardiac proteome were assessed after 7 or 14 days of exposure to each PAH.
Project description:Bisphenol A (BPA), a widely used chemical in the manufacture of plastics and epoxy resins, is prevalent in the aquatic environment and disrupts endocrine pathways in fish, but the long-term developmental implications are unknown. We demonstrate that BPA in eggs of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a commercially important species of fish with a long life-cycle, has the potential to reprogram liver metabolism in the offspring and alter the developmental growth phenotype in multiple generations. Specifically, BPA reduces growth during early development, followed by a catch-up growth and obesity phenotype in juveniles. More importantly, we observed a shift in the liver transcripts supporting the transient growth phenotypes observed in the F1 generation and this was also evident in the F2 generation. These results reveal that maternal and/or ancestral exposure to BPA in eggs has long-lasting and multigenerational impacts in trout, with implications on salmonid fisheries and sustainability of ecosystem health.
Project description:We constructed a targeted cDNA microarray consisting of 147 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) genes with known function to examine the transcriptional response to a standardized handling stress.
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.
Project description:A rapid decline in temperature poses a major challenge for poikilothermic fish. The gene expression of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss having undergone such a cold shock (0 °C) and a control (5 °C) were compared in a microarray-based study.

Project description:We investigated the effects of chronic TCDD exposure on global gene expression in developing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Juvenile rainbow trout (0.18±0.01g) were fed Biodiet starter with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100ppb, and ten fish were sampled and pooled from each group for microarray experiments at 28 days after initiation of the exposure. Gene expression analysis was performed using the Genomics Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP) 16K cDNA microarrays. TCDD-responsive whole body transcripts identified in the microarray experiments have putative functions involved in various biological processes including cellular process, metabolic process, biological regulation, and response to stimulus. In addition, TCDD caused leisons in multiple organ systems in juvenile rainbow, including skin, oropharynx, liver, gas bladder, intestine, pancreas, nose and kidney.
