Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Molecular Underpinnings of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) Under Hypoxia Stress.

ABSTRACT: As an essential environmental factor that affects the economic benefits of aquaculture, hypoxia is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the aquaculture fish breeding industry. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a critical economic fish in China, and at present, there are many breeding strains of common carp with different character advantages in China, including Hebao red carp (C. carpio var wuyuanesis) and Songpu mirror carp (C. carpio var specularis). Even if the environmental adaptation of common carp is generally strong, the genetic background of hypoxia tolerance in different strains of common carp is unclear yet. This study tested the hypoxia tolerance of Songpu minor carp, Hebao red carp, and their hybrid F1 population by an acute hypoxia treatment. Muscle and liver tissues were used for transcriptome sequencing analysis to identify the key factors for hypoxia tolerance and explore the potential genetic mechanism for breeding high hypoxia tolerance in common carp. The comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed abundant hypoxia response-related genes and their differential regulation mechanism in these two tissues of different common carp strains under acute hypoxia, including immune response, cellular stress response, HIFs (hypoxia-inducible factors), MAP kinase, iron ion binding, and heme binding. Our findings will facilitate future investigation on the hypoxia response mechanism and provide a solid theoretical basis for breeding projects in common carp.

Project description:In a previous study, we found that the growth performance of the new strain of Huanghe carp is related to gene expression and bacterial community in the gut. In order to better understand the relationship between the gene expression level and bacterial abundance in the gut, we studied the growth performance, gut bacterial structure, and transcriptome profile in the 4th generation of the new carp strain (selection group) at harvesting time, and compared them with the control line (traditional Huanghe carp). Body weight, depth, width, and length increased 14.58, 7.14, 5.04, and 5.07%, respectively. The gut microbiome of the selection group also exhibited significantly higher species diversity parameters (Shannon, Simpson, and chao1). Both PCA and phylogenetic analyses divided all gut samples into two parts: control and selection group. Aeromonas was the dominant taxon in the control group, followed by Firmicutes and Roseomonas; in the selection group, Roseomonas was the dominant taxon, followed by Firmicutes and then Aeromonas. Among the 249 significantly differentially expressed genes, 194 were downregulated and 55 were upregulated. Functional GO annotation produced 13 terms in the biological process, 8 in the cellular component, and 7 in the molecular function categories. KEGG annotation indicated that most of these genes were associated with the immune-related pathways. A total of 2,892 pairs of genes (245) and baceterial genera (256) were analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis. Most of the identified associations were mapped to the immune system, bacterial community, and cell differentiation categories. The top-10 bacterial genera identified by these analyses were Methylocystis, Ohtaekwangia, Roseomonas, Shewanella, Lutispora, GpVI, Desulfovibrio, Candidatus_Berkiella, Bordetella, and Azorhizobium. Genes paired with bacteria flora were divided into four functional categories: immune, growth, adipocyte differentiation, and nerve regulation. These genes may be related to the comparatively fast growth and high muscle polyunsaturated fatty acid content of the Huanghe carp new strain. Meanwhile, nerve regulation-related genes may be a reflection of the microbiota-gut-brain axis. These results illustrate that gut bacterial community structure is associated with the growth performance and gene expression in the Huanghe carp new strain.
