Transcriptome comparisons of wild, domesticated and hybrid Atlantic salmon fry under stress and control conditions

ABSTRACT: This study compares the transcriptomes of wild and domesticated Atlantic salmon strains and their transcriptional response to acute stress. Microarray interrogations consisted of 48 hybridizations; 4 crosses (pure wild; Figgjo x Figgjo, pure domesticated; Mowi x Mowi and their reciprocal hybrids; Figgjo x Mowi, Mowi x Figgjo) x 2 conditions (stress and control) x 6 biological replicates and employed a custom 44k oligonucleotide microarray design.

Project description:Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis (IPN) is a highly contagious birnavirus disease of farmed salmonid fish, which often causes high levels of morbidity and mortality. A large genetic component underlying resistance to this disease has been previously described for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), which mediates high mortality rates in some families and zero mortality in others. A global comparison of the gene expression profiles of resistant and susceptible Atlantic salmon fry following challenge with the IPN virus was undertaken. Full sibling salmon fry from two IPNV-resistant and two IPNV-susceptible families were challenged with the virus and sampled at 1 day, 7 days and 20 days post-challenge. Significant viral titre was observed in both resistant and susceptible fish at all timepoints, although generally at higher levels in susceptible fish. Microarray interrogations were performed using a custom-designed, oligonucleotide microarray platform (Agilent) with 44 K probes per slide (Salar_2; Agilent Design ID:025520). The design is lodged with ArrayExpress ( under accession number A-MEXP-2065. Dual-label hybridisations were undertaken, with each experimental sample (Cy3 labelled) being competitively hybridised against a pooled reference control (Cy5 labelled) comprising equimolar amounts from each experimental RNA sample. The interrogations comprised 144 separate hybridisations; 2 genotypes (susceptible, resistant) Ã 2 families for each genotype Ã 2 challenge states (control, challenged) Ã 3 timepoints (1, 7, 20 dpi) Ã 4 biological replicates for resistant (2 from each of two tanks) and 8 biological replicates for susceptible (4 from each of two tanks). A preliminary analysis suggested evidence for a segregating QTL in both the susceptible families and therefore twice as many offspring were screened. It was later established that the evidence for QTL segregation in one of the families was inconclusive and therefore comparisons were made at the family level only. The analyses took the unbalanced design into account.

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:Background: The decreasing availability of fishmeal as a protein source in aquaculture diets will require aquaculture to develop an econmoical and sustainable protien replacement. Plant proteins are readily available and are being tested as a promising alternative to replace a substantial portion of fishmeal which currently provides most of the protein content in aquaculture diets. The types of plant protein feasible for incorporation into aquaculture diets will likely contain various anti-nutritional compounds, carbohydrates, fiber, and a different amino acid profile than what is found in fishmeal. Substantial genetic variation was previously observed for growth on plant based dits in rainbow trout Hence, it will be beneficial to identify metabolic and physiologic pathways related to enhanced plant protein utilization which will aid in identifying genes that contribute to this genetic variation. Results: Microarray analysis of liver samples from two families of rainbow trout that differed in their growth responses when compared between individuals grown on a fish meal or plant protein based diet. Differential expression relating to dietary utilization between the two families found significant changes in expression of 33 ESTs. Eight of the differntially expressed ESTs had identified mammalian homologs that had been previously researched with identified cellular interactions and functions. Conclusions: Utilizing pathway analysis software to analyze sequences annotated with known mammalian genes were were ablet o map gene pathway and process interactions. From this information we were able to infer that the metabolic changes associated with utilization of plant protein versus fishmeal were associated with differential reaulation of genes related to cell oxidative stress, proliferation, growth, and survival. Furthermore, we inferred from the changes we observed in immune response genes expression that ingestion of this plant based diet upregulated the expression of genes involved in immunoregulatroy processes. Genotyped samples linked to families that had 4 or more members sampled on each diet were identified and ranked according to average family weight on each diet. Size rankings corresponded to large (>750 g), medium (600-640 g), and small (<500 g). From these identified groups 2 families were chosen for microarray expression analysis that demonstrated individuals with growth differences between the two diets. Data for the two families used for analysis and slide arrangements are listed in table 3. The families compared for growth differences between diets used for this study only differed by one growth range, large fish on fish meal compared to medium fish on plant-based diet and medium sized fish on fishmeal diet compared to small fish on plant-based diet. This strategy to use size separation within family was an attempt to identify gene changes more specific to diet utilization than specific for growth differences.
