Project description:Anthropogenic marine noise is increasing around the world and is known to have detrimental effects on many taxa from cetaceans, right down to invertebrates, including marine mussels. Here, we wished to examine the transcriptional changes induced following a week of underwater noise exposure in the gill tissue of blue mussels, and the subsequent response to opportunistic pathogen Vibrio splendidus in control versus noise-exposed animals.

Project description:Marine biomonitoring programs in the U.S. and Europe have historically relied on monitoring tissue concentrations of bivalves to monitor contaminant levels and ecosystem health. By integrating M-bM-^@M-^Xomic methods with these tissue residue approaches we can uncover mechanistic insight to help link tissue concentrations to toxic effects. In an effort to identify novel biomarkers and better understand the molecular toxicology of metal bioaccumulation in bivalves, we exposed the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis L., to sub-lethal concentrations (0.54 M-oM-^AM--M) of cadmium, lead, and a Cd+Pb mixture. Metal concentrations were measured in gill tissues at 1, 2, and 4 weeks, and increased linearly over the 4 week duration. In addition, there was evidence that Pb interfered with Cd uptake in the mixture treatment. Using a 3025 sequence microarray for M. edulis, we performed transcriptomic analysis, identifying 57 differentially expressed sequences. Hierarchical clustering of these sequences successfully distinguished the different treatment groups demonstrating that the expression profiles were reproducible among the treatments. Enrichment analysis of gene ontology terms identified several biological processes that were perturbed by the treatments, including nucleoside phosphate biosynthetic processes, mRNA metabolic processes, and response to stress. To identify transcripts whose expression level correlated with metal bioaccumulation, we performed Pearson correlation analysis. Several transcripts correlated with gill metal concentrations including mt10, mt20, and contig 48, an unknown transcript containing a wsc domain. In addition, three transcripts directly involved in the Unfolded protein response (UPR) were induced in the metal treatments at 2 weeks and were further up-regulated at 4 weeks. Overall, correlation of tissue concentrations and gene expression responses indicates that as mussels accumulate higher concentrations of metals, initial stress responses are mobilized to protect tissues. However, given the role of UPR in apoptosis, it serves as an early indicator of stress, which once overwhelmed will result in adverse physiological effects. A total of 52 samples including initial samples and 3 time-points following exposure to cadmium, lead, or a mixture. There were four replicate samples for each treatment and time-point. An additional three replicate samples were used for RT-qPCR.

Project description:The variability of the marine intertidal environment poses unique challenges for sessile species. Diurnal, tidal, and seasonal cycles introduce drastic variations in temperature, salinity, availability of nutrients and water. The California ribbed mussel Mytilus californianus is a filter feeder that dominates a middle range of the intertidal of many wave-swept rocky shores. The bivalve attaches to the substrate by several byssal threads. This sessile lifestyle allows us to accurately document the thermal history of an individual. We have profiled gene expression in M. californianus during a natural tidal cycle using a cDNA microarray composed of genes from mussels exposed to various stressors. Over three days, mussels were sampled from two sites differing in emersion exposure and average temperature. At each time point, three mussels were cut open in the field and frozen immediately on dry ice and stored at -80 degrees C until the gill, hepatopancreas, and adductor muscle were excised and processed for RNA extraction, reverse transcription, and hybridization to our microarrays. The resulting expression profile showed that genes involved in the cell cycle were diurnally regulated, heat shock proteins increased with temperature, and expression of several hundred other genes varied across the tidal cycle. Tide series (times and tide height): 26th July, low tide 0052, 0.8 ft; high tide 0705, 3.1 ft; low tide 1113, 2.4 ft; high tide 1810, 5.9ft. 27th July, low tide 0154, 0.1 ft; high tide 0837, 3.3 ft; low tide 1216, 2.7ft; high tide 1903, 6.2 ft. 28th July, low tide 0249, -0.6ft; high tide 0943, 3.5 ft; low tide 1323, 2.8ft; high tide 1903, 6.2ft. 15th Aug, low tide 0530, 0.26 ft; high tide 1200, 4.08 ft, low tide 0432, 2.65 ft; high tide 1036, 5.84 ft.

Project description:We used a cDNA microarray previously defined for the marine sentinel organism Mytilus galloprovincialis (MytArray1.0) to evaluate the effects of nanomolar doses of combined metal salts (50, 100 and 200 nM mixtures of Cd, Cu and Hg) after 48 hours of mussel exposure. Pointing to the mussel gills, first target of toxic water contaminants and actively proliferating tissue, we found significant dose-related increases of cells with micronuclei and other nuclear abnormalities in the treated mussels, with differences in the bioconcentration of the three metals determined in the mussel pulp by atomic absorption spectrometry. Following gill RNA purification and DNA microarray analysis, individual gene expression profiles revealed some transcriptional changes at the 50 nM dose, and substantial increases of differentially expressed genes at the 100 and 200 nM doses with roughly similar amounts of up- and down-regulated signals. The functional annotation of transcripts with consistent expression trends and significantly altered at least in one dose point disclosed the complexity of the induced cell response. Three-condition experiment (50, 100 and 200 nM doses), individual treated mussel vs. pooled control mussels (N=5), 3 biological replicates with dye-swap competitive hybridization (array A and B, 2 technical replicates/array).

Project description:To identify the expression profiles of zebra mussel byssus unique genes with the regeneration of the byssal threads, a time-course study was performed. The RNA samples from the feet of fully attached zebra mussels (maintained attachment for more than 4 weeks) were extracted as common reference. The detached mussels were allowed to re-attach on underwater surface. Then the RNA samples from feet of the mussels at different time points post detachment were taken, namely, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 7 days, and 21 days post detachment. The comparisons of the genes expression profiles were made between different time points and reference, as well as the any two connected time points (expect for 7 days and 21 days). The dual-channel microarray hybridizations were performed as following: 12hâR, 12hâR, 1DâR, 1DâR, 2DâR, 2DâR, 3DâR, 3DâR, 4DâR 4DâR, 7DâR, 7DâR, 21DâR, 21DâR, 12hâ1D, 12hâ1D, 1Dâ2D, 1Dâ2D, 2Dâ3D, 2Dâ3D, 3Dâ4D, 3Dâ4D, 4Dâ7D, 4Dâ7D, 7Dâ21D, 7Dâ21D. The direction of the arrows stand for the way of labeling: Alexa555âAlexa647. Six biological replicates of 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, and 7D were used; four biological repllicates of 12h and 21D were taken; fourteen biological replicates of reference were applied. The whole experiment includes 26 microarray slide hybridizations.

Project description:The contamination of marine ecosystems with microplastics, such as the polymer polyethylene, a commonly used component of single-use packaging, is of global concern. Although it has been suggested that biodegradable polymers, such as polylactic acid, may be used to replace some polyethylene packaging, little is known about their effects on marine organisms. Blue mussels, Mytilus edulis, have become a “model organism” for investigating the effects of microplastics in marine ecosystems. We show here that repeated exposure, over a period of 52 days in an outdoor mesocosm setting, of M. edulis to polyethylene microplastics reduced the number of byssal threads produced and the attachment strength (tenacity) by ~50%. Exposure to either type of microplastic altered the haemolymph proteome and, although a conserved response to microplastic exposure was observed, overall polyethylene resulted in more changes to protein abundances than polylactic acid. Many of the proteins affected are involved in vital biological processes, such as immune- and stress- regulation, metabolism and cellular and structural development. Our study highlights the utility of mass spectrometry-based proteomics to assess the health of key marine organisms and identifies the potential mechanisms by which microplastics, both conventional and biodegradable, could affect their ability to form and maintain reefs.

Project description:<p>Anthropogenic oceanic noise due to shipping has increased up to 32-fold over the last five decades, putting marine organisms at risk. While the impact of noise on marine mammals is well documented, its effect on molluscs, which hold immense economic and ecological importance, remain largely unknown. To investigate the consequences of noise on mollusc metabolism during crucial early life stages, mussel larvae were exposed to shipping noise in a laboratory setting until the post-larval stage and their metabolome analysed. Multivariate analyses of the metabolomes showed that shipping noise induces stress-related inflammation with increased energy demands, higher protein turnover and disrupted nervous system activity. Consequently, noise promoted a delayed metamorphosis in suboptimal habitats with greater metabolic costs, which may impact ecosystem and aquaculture sustainability as competent mussel larvae struggle to select suitable development habitats. Without action to limit underwater noise, such impacts could disrupt population structures and marine biodiversity.</p>

Project description:Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were exposed during 7 and 28 days in seawater (control), seawater + acetone (solvent control, SC), and 10 micrograms per Litre of tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP). TDCPP was added from a stock solution prepared in acetone, the volume added being 100 µL per 30 L aquaria. The same volume of acetone was added to SC aquaria. Mussel density was 20 mussels per each 30 L aquaria at the beginning of the experiment and varied between 15 ‒ 20 mussels/30 L aquaria during the 28 days exposure period. Exposure conditions were the following: T = 15.6 ± 0.7 ºC, S = 35.5 ± 0.5 ppt, pH = 7.9 ± 0.1, O2 = 7.9 ± 0.6 mg L-1 and 10:14h light:dark photoperiod. Water was renewed twice per week and mussels were fed before every water renewal with a mixture of phytoplankton representing 1% of mussel tissue dry weight.
