Transcriptional Programs Underlying Cold Acclimation of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).

ABSTRACT: Properly regulated transcriptional responses to environmental perturbations are critical for the fitness of fish. Although gene expression profiles in the tissues of common carp upon cold stress were previously characterized, the transcriptional programs underlying cold acclimation are still not well known. In this study, the ability of three common carp strains including Hebao red carp (HB), Songpu mirror carp (SPM) and Yellow river carp (YR) to establish cold resistance after acclimation to a mild hypothermia stress at 18°C for 24 h was confirmed by measurements of the critical thermal minimums (CTMin). The gene expression profiles of the brain and the heart from these strains under both control and cold-acclimated conditions were characterized with RNA-sequencing. The data of the three
