Changes in Growth Performance, Physiological Parameters, and Lipid Metabolism-related Genes Expression of Hybrid Yellow Catfish (Tachysurus fulvidraco ♀ × Pseudobagrus vachellii ♂) following different dietary Acanthopanax Senticosus levels

ABSTRACT: High-density aquaculture and over-nutrition may cause fatty liver disease in hybrid yellow catfish, reduce the quality of fish products, and limit the development of the industry. In this experiment, Acanthopanax senticosus powder was used as an additive for hybrid yellow catfish feed. A control group (fed on a diet without A.senticosus) and five groups fed on diets supplemented with A.senticosus (0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 g A.senticosus / kg). To study the effects of A.senticosus on the growth performance and physiological parameters of hybrid yellow catfish, and to determine the effect of A.senticosus on the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in the liver by transcriptome analysis. It was found that dietary supplementation with A.senticosus at 2-4g/kg can promote the growth of yellow catfish, reduce the levels of total cholesterol and triacylglycerol in serum, and increase the activity of fatty acid synthase involved in lipid transport in the liver. Gene expression profiles in the liver were compared between the control group and 4g/kg A.senticosus group, and 5 differentially expressed genes in these groups were identified. Annotation analyses using tools at the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases showed that these five differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in the regulation of fat metabolism. The experimental results show that adding a suitable amount of A.senticosus in the diet can reduce the expression of FADS2, ELOVL2, and PLPP3 genes in the liver and stimulate the expression of CYP24a gene, which will reduce the contents of TG and TC in the body, reduce the deposition of fat in the tissue, and promote lipid Metabolism to achieve the purpose of protecting the liver. Therefore, A.senticosus can be used as a healthy feed additive for hybrid yellow catfish, and the appropriate content in the diet is 2-4g/kg.

Project description:Background: Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) is one of the important aquaculture species in China. In recent years, due to the high breeding density, the increasing frequency of feeding, and the excessive addition of feed fat, the excessive deposition of body fat in cultured yellow catfish has become more frequent. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important gene expression regulatory signal molecule that regulates liver fat synthesis and transport and play an important role in fat deposition. However, there is a little research on the mechanism of fatty liver caused by excessive deposition of liver fat. Results: After 60 days of high-fat stress, the growth and feed conversion rate of hybrid yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fuIvidraco♀×P. vachelli♂) were significantly inhibited, and hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index, hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol, and red lipid droplets in liver tissues were increased. Through high-throughput sequencing, we constructed miRNA libraries of high-fat stress at 60d, identified 346 conserved miRNAs and 410 novel miRNAs, among which 13 differentially expressed miRNAs were screened between high-fat diet group and normal-fat diet group. Also, we constructed mRNA transcriptome libraries after high-fat stress. Potential target genes for differentially expressed miRNAs were identified by bioinformatics analysis. Seven miRNA-mRNA pairs were screened. The expression of differential miRNA and mRNA and potential binding sites were analyzed by qRT-PCR and dual luciferase assay. Hybrid yellow catfish could promote the oxidative degradation of liver glucose, reduce fatty acid peroxidation, regulate antioxidant enzyme activity and response of immune and inflammatory to relieve fat deposition and liver stress. Conclusions: The disorders of fat metabolism in liver not only result in feed wastage, increase metabolic burden of yellow catfish, but also cause immune function damage, resulting in a variety of nutritional diseases. The development of this study is to understand the molecular mechanism of hepatic fat deposition in yellow catfish. It has important biological significance for improving protection of liver against stress and healthy culture.
