Integrated analysis of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network responses to heat stress in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver

ABSTRACT: With the intensification of global warming, rainbow trout is suffering from varying degrees thermal stimulation, heat stress may cause pathological signs or diseases by reducing the immune roles and then lead to mass mortality, so high temperatures severely restrict the development of its aquaculture. Understanding the molecular regulation mechanism of rainbow trout under heat stress is used to take measures to relieve symptoms. We performed multiple transcriptomic analysis of liver tissues from rainbow trout under heat stress (24 °C) and control conditions (18 °C) to identify circRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs. Changes of non-specific immune parameters revealed that strong stress response of rainbow trout is caused in 24 °C. A total of 324 DEcircRNAs, 105 DEmiRNAs, and 1885 DEmRNAs were identified from six libraries, and ceRNA regulatory network is constructed. 301 circRNA–miRNA and 51 miRNA–mRNA negative correlation pairs were screened from ceRNA regulatory network, and predicted three regulatory correlation pairs that novel_circ_003889 - novel-m0674-3p - hsp90ab1, novel_circ_002325 - miR-18-y - HSPA13 and novel_circ_002446 - novel-m0556-3p - hsp70. Some genes involved in metabolic process, biological regulation or response to stimulus are highly induced at high temperatures. Several important pathways involved in heat stress were characterized, such as Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Estrogen signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, etc. These results extend our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of heat stress response and expected to provide a novel insight into develop strategies for relieve heat stress.

Project description:The frequency of fish encountering hypoxia has risen dramatically as global warming and water pollution intensify, posing a serious threat to survival. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), which is an economically important fish worldwide, belongs to a typical hypoxia-sensitive fish. However, little is known about the response mechanisms employed by rainbow trout to hypoxia stress. In this study, we systematically analyzed the changes of liver biochemical parameters in rainbow trout exposed to moderate hypoxic conditions (DO: 4.5 ± 0.1 mg/L) for different durations (4, 8, 12, 24 h and 1 month) and 12 h and 24 h reoxygenation, and histologic and transcriptome (lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA) under hypoxia stress for 12 h (Tm12L) and 1 month (TmlL) compared with control, and the interaction between LOC110520201, miR-2188-y and sod1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter, overexpression and silencing assays. Histological observations revealed that liver suffered severe damage in Tm12L but not in TmlL. Integrating biochemical parameters and mRNA expression profiles, we found that exposure to short-term hypoxia stress resulted in enhanced immune response, aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis, gluconeogenesis and lipid metabolism. In TmlL, increased anaerobic glycolysis and decreased aerobic glycolysis were observed, and antioxidant and immune capacity has returned to normal. Additionally, several key hypoxia-related genes (epo, vegfc, epor, sod1, ppara, foxo1a, gk, dusp1, nlrc3 and nlrp3) and ceRNA regulatory networks were identified from 2711 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 575 DElncRNAs and 395 DEmiRNAs, including LOC110520201-miR-2188-y-sod1, LOC110533332-miR-144-y-vegfc, LOC110526066-miR-465-x-ppara and LOC110535032-miR-743-y-nlrp3. The analysis of expression patterns in liver and rainbow trout liver cells treated with hypoxia suggested that changes in LOC110520201, miR-2188-y and sod1 showed a ceRNA regulatory relationship. Further experiments demonstrated that sod1 is a target of miR-2188-y, and LOC110520201 silencing increased the expression of miR-2188-y and inhibited sod1 expression. These results facilitated our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hypoxia response in rainbow trout and provided genetic resources for breeding hypoxia-tolerant varieties.
