Project description:The transcriptome profiling five tissues of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis, including gill, muscle, thoracic ganglion, eyestalk and hepatopancreas, were sequenced to get the basic dataset for constructed a genome-scale metabolic network model for E. sinensis. The model was used to predict the optimal nutrient requirements of E. sinensis in feed and suggestions for feed improvement were put forward based on the simulation results.

Project description:Effects of dietary probiotics supplements on the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal health of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis
Project description:We sequenced the mRNA in the Y-organ of normal and eyestalk-ablated Eriocheir Sinensis and obtained the transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of the two samples with Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique. The unigene expression of the two samples were compared and the differetially expressed unigenes were listed.
Project description:Developmental gene expression patterns (9812 genes) of juvenile and adult C. sinensis were analyzed using a 12K oligonucleotide microarray (a total of 11617 genes). A number of significantly differentially expressed genes having more than 2-fold difference were observed in adult stage compared to juvenile stage. This finding suggests that the expression levels of different gene sets are controlled in C. sinensis for adaptation to environmental change, such as developmental stages.
Project description:As representatives of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, many studies have analyzed the use of soybean oil and linseed oil rich in linoleic acid (18:2n-6, LA) and α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3, LNA) as better substitutes for fish oil. In aquatic animals, different dietary ratios of LA and LNA could have significant effects on growth, lipid metabolism, immune response, and reproduction. To assess the nutritive value of these two fatty acids for the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), we performed transcriptome analysis and proteomic analysis using label-free quantification of the hepatopancreas of mitten crabs fed with LA or LNA diet. Our results provide new insights for further investigation into the replacement of fish oil from mitten crabs with vegetable oils and enable us to better understand the different roles and nutrition value of LA and LNA in mitten crabs.
Project description:Host pathways mediating changes in immune states elicited by intestinal microbial colonization are incompletely characterized. Here we describe alterations of the host immune state induced by colonization of germ-free zebrafish larvae with an intestinal microbial community or single bacterial species. We show that microbiota-induced changes in intestinal leukocyte subsets and whole-body host gene expression are dependent on the innate immune adaptor gene myd88. Similar patterns of gene expression are elicited by colonization with conventional microbiome, as well as mono-colonization with two different zebrafish commensal bacterial strains. By studying loss-of-function myd88 mutants, we find that colonization suppresses Myd88 at the mRNA level. Tlr2 is essential for microbiota-induced effects on myd88 transcription and intestinal immune cell composition.
