Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of rainbow trout immune related gene expressed during exposure to Vibrio anguillarum

ABSTRACT: Total RNA was extracted from V. angularium susceptible and resistant rainbow trout, tissues (liver, spleen, gill), in different time points using GenEluteTM mammalian RNA kit (RTN350, Sigma-Aldrich, Denmark). After measuring quantity (NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Saveen & Werner, Denmark)) and quality (gel electrophoresis) of RNA, cDNA was synthetised in T100 thermocycler, Biorad, Denmark, using Oligo d(T)16 primer and TaqMan® Reverse Transcription Reagents (cat.no. N8080234, Thermo Fischer Scientific, Denmark). Primers and probes for total of 28 genes including three housekeeping genes were synthesized at TAG Copenhagen AS, Denmark. qPCR reactions were run by Brilliant III Ultra-Fast QPCR Master Mix (600881, AH Diagnostics AS, Denmark) for all samples. The fold changes analysed by the simplified 2-ΔΔCq method. Fingerlings of rainbow trout (mean body weight of 12 g) were exposed (2 h bathing, 18°C) to the pathogen V. anguillarum serotype O1 in a solution of 1.5x107 cfu/ml and observed for 14 d. Disease signs appeared three days post exposure (dpe) whereafter morbidity progressed exponentially until 6 dpe reaching a total morbidity/mortality of 55% within 11 days. we sampled fish for immune gene expression analysis when they first showed clinical signs, fish without clinical signs at the same time point and finally fish surviving the exposure to the pathogen. The different immune gene expression profiles in the different groups were addressed when discussing possible resistance mechanisms in rainbow trout.

Project description:Marker-assisted selective breeding of fish with higher levels of resistance towards specific pathogens has shown successful, but. However, the impact of host genotype on multiple pathogen infections are is still poorly investigated. This study examined the resistance in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykis) towards infection with the eye fluke Diplostomum pseudospathaceum. We used genetically selected rainbow trout, carrying SNPs associated with resistance towards the parasitic ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, and exposed the fish to eye fluke cercariae. We showed that fish partly resistant to I. multifiliis were more susceptible to eye fluke invasion. Expression The expression of immune relevant genes (encoding innate and adaptive factors) was also affected as these genotypes responded less strongly to a secondary fluke infection. The complexity of genome architecture in disease resistance towards multiple pathogens is discussed. A total of 200 rainbow trout (body weight 14.3-17.7 g, body length 10.2-11.5 cm) were used for the study. Two groups of rainbow trout with high (QTL fish) and low (non-QTL fish) frequency of SNPs associated with I. multifiliis resistance, were hatched from eyed eggs at the disease free recirculated Bornholm Salmon Hatchery, Nexø, Denmark and subsequently reared to the fingerling stage. For this purpose, the first group (QTL-fish) was produced by using sperm from three male genotyped parents carrying SNPs AX-89947214 (Omy17) and AX-89960822 (Omy16), and the other group (non-QTL fish) was produced by using sperm from three other male parents negative for these SNPs. In both cases, sperm was used to fertilize a common pool of eggs stripped from a total of 30 outbred females. Processes of hatching and subsequent rearing of fry to the fingerling stage did not differ between groups of QTL fish and non-QTL fish. From each group (QTL and non-QTL fish) we randomly gathered 100 rainbow trout and transported them (3 h duration) from the hatchery to the infection facility at the University of Copenhagen. Fish were then accommodated and acclimatized 14 d in identical aerated glass tanks with internal biofilters (25 fish per 60 L water, total tank volume 80 L), which were placed in a temperature temperature-controlled room (water temperature constant at 12°C, pH 7.6). We used 30% water change per day to maintain ammonia levels below 0.25. Fish were fed by pelleted feed (1% of fish biomass per day). All fish were genotyped with respect to the two relevant QTLs, one on chomosome 16 and one on chromosome 17. Fish being double heterozugous were excluded from qPCR analysis.

Project description:We have constructed a rainbow trout high-density oligonucleotide microarray by using all the available tentative consensus (TC) sequences from the Rainbow Trout Gene Index database (The Computational Biology and Functional Genomics Lab., Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard School of Public Health). The Rainbow Trout Gene Index integrates research data from all available international rainbow trout genomic research projects. The newly designed microarray incorporates 37,394 unique transcript-specific oligonucleotide probes, 60-mer long each. The microarray was printed according to our design by Agilent Technologies using the 4 X 44-design format and contains 1417 Agilent control spots. The performance of the new microarray platform was evaluated by analyzing gene expression associated with the rainbow trout vitellogenesis-induced muscle atrophy. These chips can be ordered from Agilent using design number 016320. This microarray is anticipated to open new avenues of research that will aid in the development of novel strategies to enhance growth efficiency and quality in salmonid species. Keywords: Development of an oligo-array for rainbow trout The performance of the new microarray platform was evaluated by analyzing transcriptome response associated with the rainbow trout vitellogenesis-induced muscle atrophy. Severe muscle deterioration accompanies the physiological responses of the energetic demands of the rainbow trout spawning/vitellogenesis. Atrophying muscle of fertile fish had 11% less extractable muscle (g/bw) and 11% less protein content compared to non-atrophying muscle of sterile fish (p<0.01). The rainbow trout was used to profile changes in gene expression of atrophying muscles. Gene expression levels were determined by comparing the amount of mRNA transcript present in the experimental sample (fertile fish) to the control (sterile fish). RNAs isolated from each experimental fish were run on separate microarrays in independent experiments, with no pooling. A total of 8 fish were used in the microarray experiments (4 replicates x 2 groups). Fluorophors (Cy3 and Cy5) were randomly assigned to RNA from each of the atrophying and nonatrophying muscles to limit the dye effect.
