Project description:Background: Salmonid species have followed markedly divergent evolutionary trajectories in their interactions with sea lice. While sea lice parasitism poses significant economic, environmental, and animal welfare challenges for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture, coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) exhibit near-complete resistance to sea lice, achieved through a potent epithelial hyperplasia response leading to rapid louse detachment. The molecular mechanisms underlying these divergent responses to sea lice are unknown. Results: We characterised the cellular and molecular responses of Atlantic salmon and coho salmon to sea lice using single-nuclei RNA sequencing. Juvenile fish were exposed to copepodid sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), and lice-attached pelvic fin and skin samples were collected 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h, and 60h after exposure, along with control samples. Comparative analysis of control and treatment samples revealed an immune and wound-healing response that was common to both species, but attenuated in Atlantic salmon, potentially reflecting greater sea louse immunomodulation. Our results revealed unique but complementary roles of three layers of keratinocytes in the epithelial hyperplasia response leading to rapid sea lice rejection in coho salmon. Our results suggest that basal keratinocytes direct the expansion and mobility of intermediate and, especially, superficial keratinocytes, which eventually encapsulate the parasite. Conclusions: Our results highlight the key role of keratinocytes in coho salmon’s sea lice resistance, and the diverged biological response of the two salmonid host species when interacting with this parasite. This study has identified key pathways and candidate genes that could be manipulated using various biotechnological solutions to improve Atlantic salmon sea lice resistance.

Project description:Exposure to environmental concentrations of organophosphate pesticides in Pacific salmon can cause neurobehavioral injuries leading to loss of survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying olfactory impairment remain poorly understood. In the current study, we exposed juvenile salmon to three environmentally-relevant doses of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and malathion (MAL) individually and to three concentrations of binary mixtures of both compounds. Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was significantly reduced only in the highest dosage of binary mixture group (47% inhibition). Microarray analysis on RNA from coho olfactory rosettes revealed a number of differentially expressed genes in all exposure groups. Overall, there were little overlapping of affected canonical pathways between CPF groups and MAL groups, suggesting the different biofunctions targeted by these two OP pesticides. Several metabolic and signaling pathways also represented the significant toxicological impact of OP pesticides on olfactory system, such as Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Signaling, Xenobiotic Metabolism Signaling, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Pro-Apoptosis, and Oxidative Stress.
