Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing of skin reveals innate immunity differences between wild-type and yellow mutant rainbow trout

ABSTRACT: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is an important aquaculture fish species that is farmed worldwide, and it is also the most widely cultivated cold water fish in China. This species, a member of the salmonidae family, is an ideal model organism for studying the immune system in fish. Two phenotypes of rainbow trout are widely cultured; wild-type rainbow trout with black skin (WR_S) and yellow mutant rainbow trout with yellow skin (YR_S). Fish skin is an important immune organ, however, little is known about the differences in skin immunity between WR_S and YR_S in a natural flowing water pond aquaculture environment, and very few studies were conducted to investigate the ceRNA mechanism for fish skin.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify the difference of immunity between wild-type and yellow mutant rainbow trout in natural flowing water pond culture environment. Methods: The transcriptomic profiles of the skin were generated by using the Hiseq™4000 sequencing platform. Results: A total of 557,976,332 clean reads were yielded from six libraries and then assembled into 38,226 genes. Using P-value of 0.05 as the threshold, 3373 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained between WR_S and YR_S rainbow trout skin including the members of HSP90, V-ATPases, GST, SUGT1, NLRP3, NOD1, TLR3, IFR3, DHX58, IFIH1, JAK1, JAK2, STAT1 and NAMPT (|log2 fold-change| ranged from 1 to 4). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of DEGs were performed. A majority of DEGs were enriched in innate immune-related GO terms and pathways, such as activation of innate immune response, inflammatory response, innate immune response, NAD+ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and NAD biosynthetic process in sub-categories of GO terms, and RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Phagosome, Jak-STAT signaling pathway in KEGG enrichment pathways. Meanwhile, several immune-related metabolic pathways were also identified including metabolism of Xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, Glutathione metabolism, Nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. Additionally, 15 DEGs were selected and validated their expression level by qRT-PCR to confirm accuracy of the RNA-seq. Conclusions: Our study is the first time to clarify the skin innate immunity difference between wild-type and yellow mutant rainbow trout in the natural flowing water pond culture environment. Our results show that the expression of most immune-related genes in the corresponding pathways were up-regulated in WR_S rainbow trout. We presumed that the disease resistance of WR_S rainbow trout might be stronger than YR_S rainbow trout.
