Transcription profiling by array of Atlantic salmon infected with salmoin alphavirus

ABSTRACT: Salmon pancreas disease, caused by salmonid alphavirus (SAV), is an economically important disease affecting farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in Europe, with outbreaks reported in Scotland, Norway, and Ireland. A microarray-based study was performed to evaluate the host transcriptomic response during the early stages of an experimentally induced salmonid alphavirus 1 (SAV 1) infection in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) Head kidney was sampled from five fish PD infected Atlantic salmon parr and uninfected controls on days 1, 3 and 5 post injection (d.p.i). RNA from tissue samples was amplified and interrogated using the 17k TRAITS / SGP cDNA microarray, with results validated by SYBR green real-time PCR. The greatest number of significantly differentially expressed genes was recorded on day 3 p.i. These were found to be mainly associated with immune and defence mechanisms including genes involved in interferon I & II pathways and major histocompatibility complex class I & II responses. The expression of genes associated with apoptosis (BcL2 and caspase 3/7) and cellular stress (heat shock protein) were also found to differ significantly between infected and uninfected individuals as were genes involved in inhibiting viral attachment and replication, such as ubiquitin, serum myeloid, and and viperin.

Project description:Current commercially available feeds for salmon are predominantly made of plant ingredients, with consequent changes to the composition and contents of a range of nutrients and other components in the diet. There are concerns that, with these major changes in raw materials, new feeds will affect not only the composition and contents of nutrients, but also the bioavailability and, combined with the limited knowledge of micronutrient requirements for Atlantic salmon, this might impact growth performance and health of the fish. The present study investigated the effects of graded levels of a micronutrient package supplemented to feeds formulated with low levels of marine ingredients and fed to diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon throughout the freshwater phase. Specifically, fish were fed three diets containing low levels of FM and FO and identical in formulation other than being supplemented with 3 levels (L1, 100 %; L2, 200 % and L3, 400 %) of a micronutrient mix formulated as a modification of current nutrient levels reported for salmon. Duplicate groups of diploid and triploid parr were fed the experimental diets from around 30 g to seawater transfer and the effects on growth performance, feed efficiency, biochemical composition, liver histology, hepatic gene expression (transcriptome) and smoltification efficiency determined. Microarray analysis revealed that the hepatic transcriptome profile of diploid fish fed diet L2 was more similar to that observed in triploids fed diet L3 than to those fed L2, suggesting that micronutrient requirements of triploid salmon may differ from levels accepted in diploid salmon. Different levels of micronutrient supplementation affected the expression of key genes involved in lipid metabolism. In particular sterol biosynthesis pathways (steroid and terpenoid backbone synthesis) were down-regulated in both L2-fed diploids and L3-fed triploids when compared with diet L1-fed diploids and triploids, respectively. Gene sets analysis showed an up-regulation of genes involved in immune processes in triploid salmon fed diet L3. Another biological category affected by diet in triploid salmon was genetic information processing. In fish fed diet L3 down-regulation of RNA degradation, proteasome, RNA polymerase, spliceosome and ribosome was observed, suggesting a decrease in protein turnover in this group, which may indicate a decrease in energy expenditure. In addition, one-carbon metabolism was affected by diet in diploid and triploid salmon.
