Cells respond to changes in osmolality with compensatory adaptations that re-establish ion homeostasis and repair disturbed aspects of cell structure and function. These physiological processes are highly complex, and require the coordinated activities of osmosensing, signal transducing and effector molecules. Although the critical role of effector proteins such as Na+, K+-ATPases and Na+/K+/Cl(-) co-transporters during osmotic stress are well established, comparatively little information is ava ...[more]

Project description:The marine teleost intestine plays a vital role in whole body salt and water homeostasis. Marine fish must drink seawater in order to rehydrate, and processing of that seawater throughout the gastrointestinal tract allows for the extraction of water from this highly hyperosmotic source. Although the molecular mechanisms of this process have been the subject of much investigation, numerous questions remain. Here, Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) were acclimated to normal seawater (35 ppt) of hypersaline seawater (60 ppt) and changes in the anterior intestine, posterior intestine, and intestinal fluid proteomes were investigated using a shotgun proteomics approach employing isobaric TMT tags.

Project description:In Sparus aurata, seasonal temperature variations outside the normal thermal range, may trigger physiological responses leading to pathologies and death. In the present study two groups of wild sea bream were exposed for 21 days to two temperature regimes: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control group) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold-exposed group). Samples were collected during the acute phase (0, 6 and 24 hours after temperature drop) and upon chronic exposure (21 days). A comparative analysis of gene expression was conducted between S. aurata exposed to 6.8°C. Two groups of wild sea breams (120±16 g body weight; 21±1 cm total length) caught in Valle Bonello were kept in duplicate groups in four 5 m3 circular recycling tanks and acclimated over one month at 16 °C (Di Marco et al. 2010). Fish were then exposed for 21 days to two different temperature treatments: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control groups) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold groups). Both groups were fasted during the trial. Warm and cold water temperature conditions were maintained by supplying tanks with two separate re-circulating systems equipped with mechanical and biological filters. Cold water conditions were achieved by inducing two consecutive temperature drops: water was firstly gradually cooled from 16 °C to 12 °C at a rate of 1°C day -1 and then reduced from 12 °C to 6.8 °C within 24 h. This temperature was then kept for 21 days. Ten fish per treatment were sampled at different intervals during acute: 0 (T1), 6 (T2) and 24 hours (T3), and chronic exposure (21 days; T4) to low temperature. Fish were firstly anaesthetized in a solution of tricaine methanesulphonate (300 mg/l; MS 222, Finquel) in a 30-litre bucket and then euthanized by severing their spinal cord. Liver samples (about 30 mg) were collected from each specimen, incubated in RNA later at 4 °C for 24 h and then stored at -20 °C. Total RNA was extracted from tissue samples using the RNAeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA concentration was determined using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer NanoDrop® ND-1000 (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, USA). RNA integrity and quality was evaluated by means of Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) and Expert software according to Ferraresso et al. (2008). RNA integrity number (RIN) index was calculated for each sample that provides a numerical assessment of RNA integrity. This value facilitates the standardization of the quality interpretation; only RNAs with RIN >8 were used for further microarray experiments. Once single RNA samples were extracted and measured, 3 pools (Pool_A consisting of four individuals, Pool_B and _C of three) per each sampling-time point were prepared. This was aimed at getting a sufficient statistical power which is reached by a minimum of three biological replicates per analysed point and at reducing microarray analysis cost. To perform DNA microarray analyses has been used the microarray platform GPL6467 (Ferraresso et al. 2008). Sample labelling and hybridization were performed according to the Agilent One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis protocol. For each of 24 liver pools 500 ng of total RNA were linearly amplified and labelled with Cy3-dCTP, using the Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit PLUS one-color (Agilent Technologies). A total of 24 Agilent 4 x 44K sea bream microarrays (12 samples from both control and cold groups) were then hybridized. An Agilent G2565BA DNA microarray scanner was used to scan arrays at 5 µm resolution, Feature Extraction Software 9.5.1 was then used to process and analyse array images. The software returns a series of spot quality measures in order to evaluate the goodness and the reliability of spot intensity estimates. Filtering and cyclic lowess normalization were performed using R statistical software (http://www.r-project.org/).

Project description:This study aims to evaluate the transcriptome alterations, through cDNA libraries, associated with the effects of the combination of two PAHs, benzo[a]pyrene (0.5M-NM-<g/L) and phenanthrene (50M-NM-<g/L), present in crude oil, on specimens of Symphysodon aequifasciatus (discus fish) after 48h of exposure. The cDNA libraries were constructed according to the SOLiDTM SAGETM protocol for sequencing in the SOLiD v.3 Plus sequencer. The results were analyzed by bioinformatics and differentially expressed genes were categorized using the gene ontology program (AmiGO v.1.8). The functional categories (terms) found in the gene ontology and the gene network generated using STRING software were used to predict the adverse effects in the liver. In the present study, 27,127 genes (compared to Danio rerio database) were identified. Considering only those genes with a p-value less than or equal to 0.05 and a greater than or equal to two-fold change in expression across libraries, we found 804 genes, 438 down-regulated (54%) and 366 up-regulated genes (46%), in the experimental group compared to the control group. Out of this total, 327 genes were successfully categorized, 174 down-regulated and 153 up-regulated genes, using gene ontology tool. The final confidence gene network, analyzed in STRING, was composed by 199 nodes of proteins, 124 of them resulted in 274 interactions. The results showed that even an acute exposure of 48 h caused metabolic change in response to environmental contaminants, resulting in changes of cell integrity, changes in oxidation-reduction processes, disturbances of intracellular signaling and changes in the immune response of discus fish. Also the gene network interactions have showed no central interplay cluster, exhibiting interconnected clusters interactions and sparsely connected sub-networks. These findings highlight that even an acute and sublethal exposure of PAHs can cause metabolism changes that may affect this fish species survival rates. Our findings using the SAGE-method and the SOLiD sequencer showed that this is a powerful tool for gene expression analysis in discus fish, a non-model organism.

Project description:Trenbolone and flutamide are prototypical model compounds for respectively androgen and anti-androgen modes of action. Trenbolone is an anabolic steroid used in cattle industry to increase weight gain and feed efficiency, and flutamide is a pharmaceutical used to treat prostate cancer. Androgens exert profound effects on the organization, development, and function of the male reproductive system through activation of androgen receptors (ARs). Flutamide, as an antiandrogen, was expected to temper the effects of trenbolone on androgen receptor (AR)-mediated gene expression. Female fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed via the water to 0.05, 0.5 or 5 µg 17β-trenbolone/L; 50, 150 or 500 µg flutamide/L; or to a mixture of 0.5 μg/L trenbolone and 500 μg/L flutamide. After a 48 hr constant exposure gene expression in gonads was analyzed using a fathead minnow-specific 22,000-gene microarray. Trenbolone significantly changed the expression (P < 0.05) of roughly 750 different genes, while flutamide changed the expression of 1420 genes. Most of the genes that were regulated were distinct for the two chemicals. However, 70 genes were reciprocally regulated by the two treatments. Myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (Myc), Yin Yang 1 (YY1) and interferon regulator factor 1 (IRF1) were among the important transcription factors reciprocally regulated by trenbolone and flutamide, suggesting they may be specifically regulated by the AR. These regulatory molecules, in conjunction with other reciprocally regulated transcription factors, may function as early molecular switches to control phenotypic changes in gonad tissue architecture and function. Fathead minnows exposed for 48h to 0.5 ug trenbolone, 500 ug flutamide, or a mixture of both.

Project description:Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is an ectoparasitic condition of some farm-reared marine fish and is caused by Neoparamoeba perurans. Tanks housing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were inoculated with Neoparamoeba perurans and fish were sampled at 36 days postinoculation (pi.). AGD-affected gill tissue was dissected from N. perurans infected fish, and a DNA microarray was used to compare global gene expression against tissues from AGD-naive fish. To determine whether the changes in gene expression were restricted to AGD-lesions, lesion tissue from AGD-affected fish was also compared with non-lesion gill tissue dissected from the same gill arch. Samples were assessed using a DNA microarray. mRNA from lesion and non-lesion gill tissue was amplified and labeled. Six biological and two technical replicates were utilised to hybridise to 12 arrays using amplified RNA from AGD-affected lesion gill tissue with AGD-naive fish as a control. Four biological and two technical replicates were utilised to hybridise to 8 arrays using amplified RNA from AGD-affected lesion gill tissue with non-lesion tissue from the same gill arch as a control. The assignment of microarrays to treatment groups for hybridization was randomised by using a random number generator.

Project description:17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) is one of the most potent estrogens that have the ability to interfere with the endocrine system of fish. The objective was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of action caused by 60 days of dietary exposure to 0.2 mg EE2/kg and 0.07 mg EE2/kg feed in female largemouth bass (LMB) during the reproductive season. Microarrays and pathway analyses were performed on hepatic tissues to identify genes and biological processes altered in female LMB by EE2 exposure. The hypothesis was that the two concentrations of EE2 would produce dose-response changes in sensitive genes. Body and ovary weights were measured and blood was collected for measurement of plasma steroid hormones (17beta-estradiol (E2), testosterone (T)) and vitellogenin (VTG) using ELISA. The 0.2 mg EE2/kg feed exposure reduced the gonadosomatic index (GSI) by 75%, and plasma levels of E2 and T were reduced by over 90%. Plasma VTG was increased by approximately 100% (from 4 to 8mg/ml) by the 0.2 mg/kg treatment. T levels, from the 0.07 mg EE2/kg feed, reduced GSI by approximately 30% and circulating E2 and T by ~80% but did not affect VTG concentrations. We found 1,594 and 1,165 genes were significantly affected (p<0.05) by the 0.07 mg EE2/kg feed and 0.2 mg EE2/kg feed, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that there were different biological processes regulated by the two concentrations of EE2. Pathway analysis showed that the 0.07 mg EE2/kg feed exposure caused differential regulation of genes associated with fatty acid biosynthesis and glycolysis, indicating some metabolic effects. In contrast, the 0.2 mg EE2/kg feed exposure altered transcription of genes involved in immune response and apoptosis, suggesting a toxic response at this concentration. These results suggest that the two concentrations demonstrated distinct physiological responses, with the higher concentration inducing complete endocrine disruption in LMB. These findings demonstrate the usefulness of microarrays to identify possible biomarkers and modes of toxic action to dietary exposure in LMB. Two concentrations of EE2 would produce dose-response changes in sensitive genes. Female LMB were fed 5 days per week for 60 days with floating pellets that contained 0.07 or 0.2 mg/kg of EE2.

Project description:Fish gills are not only the respiratory organ, but also essential for ion-regulation, acid-base control, detoxification, waste excretion and host defense. Multifactorial gill diseases are common in farmed Atlantic salmon, and still poorly understood. Understanding gill pathophysiology is of paramount importance, but the sacrifice of large numbers of experimental animals for this purpose should be avoided. Therefore, in vitro models, such as cell lines, are urgently required to replace fish trials. An Atlantic salmon gill epithelial cell line, ASG-10, was established at the Norwegian Veterinary institute in 2018. This cell line forms a monolayer expressing cytokeratin, e-cadherin and desmosomes, hallmarks of a functional epithelial barrier. To determine the value of ASG-10 for comparative studies of gill functions, the characterization of ASG-10 was taken one step further by performing functional assays and comparing the cell proteome and transcriptome with those of gills from juvenile freshwater Atlantic salmon. The ASG-10 cell line appear to be a homogenous cell line consisting of epithelial cells, which express tight junction proteins. We demonstrated that ASG-10 forms a barrier, both alone and in co-culture with the Atlantic salmon gill fibroblast cell line ASG- 13. ASG-10 cells can phagocytose and express several ATP-binding cassette transport proteins. Additionally, ASG-10 expresses genes involved in biotransformation of xenobiotics and immune responses. Taken together, this study provides an overview of functions that can be studied using ASG-10, which will be an important contribution to in vitro gill epithelial research of Atlantic salmon.

Project description:Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is widespread disease with global distribution and highly contagious, which leads to severe economic problems both freshwater and saltwater, particularly in the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). In this work we analyzed and evaluated gene expression profiles in resistant and susceptible families associated to S. salar exposed to IPNV in order to understand the defense mechanisms mounted by resistant fish in combating infection. Experimentally, 29 families with known pedigree and variability were infected by immersion with 1x106 PFU/ml of IPNV, and a gamma frailty model analysis based on Kaplan-Meier mortality curves were obtained to identify and classify families as susceptible or resistant. Samples of head kidney tissue were obtained at day 1 and 5 post-infection from susceptible and resistant families and pooled to analyse their expression pattern with realt-ime PCR and one-color salmon-specific oligonucleotide microarray (21K). The microarray results showed clear differences in both families, where resistant fish presented an over-expression of genes associated with endocrine function, and a down-regulation of genes associated principally with tissue differentiation, metabolism protein degradation, cell signaling and immunological process. Moreover qPCR analysis using as target a number of transcripts associated with immunological processes showed the same trend observing a higher expression in susceptible than resistant families, indicating significant differences for CCL-19, CCRM-NM-3c, IL-12, IFN-M-NM-1, and IFN-M-NM-3. The one-color oligonucleotide microarrays included in this study was performed using pooled samples from each families at two different post-infection time condition. In the case of susceptible families were chosen at 1 day post-infection (dpi) the families 5352 (n = 2) and 5469 (n = 2) and at 5 dpi the families 5629 (n = 2) and 5637 (n = 2), whereas in resistant families were selected at 1 dpi the families 5459 (n =3) and 5761 (n =3), and at 5 dpi the families 5463 (n =3) and 5764 (n =3).

Project description:In order to investigate the underlying mechanisms of methylmecury (MeHg)-mediated toxicity to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), we analyzed the liver proteome of fish exposed in vivo to MeHg (0, 0.5, 2 mg/kg body weight) for 2 weeks. Label-free quantitative mass spectrometry enabled quantification of 1143 proteins, and 125 were differentially regulated between MeHg-treated samples and controls. Six proteins among the top differentially regulated (T23O, GLNA EPS8L2, APOA4, RAP1B, CZTZ) were analyzed using selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Supported by bioinformatics analyses, we conclude that MeHg disrupts mainly redox homeostasis and energy generating metabolic pathways in cod liver, the latter potentially modulated through MeHg-induced oxidative stress.
