Project description:To determine the effects on the intestine gene expression of pathogen exposure to Enteromyxum leei. One fish group was exposed to E. leei-contaminated effluent (recipient group = R) . R fish (n= 66, average weight = 134 g) were placed in two replicated 200L fibre-glass tanks which were set to receive exclusively the effluent water from another tank containing 24 infected (donors = D; average weight = 127.3 g; prevalence of infection = 54%) gilthead sea bream. The D to R fish ratio was 0.8. Other 66 naïve fish were allocated in two replicated tanks (control group = CTRL) under the same conditions, but without receiving contaminated effluent. Over the course of the study, day length followed natural changes and water was heated in order to keep temperature always above 18ºC, the range was 18-23 ºC. Water was 5 µm-filtered and UV irradiated, and salinity was 37.5â°. Water flow was 10L/min and oxygen content of outlet water remained higher than 85%saturation. All fish were fed daily a commercial dry pellet diet at about 1% of body weight. Disease signs and daily mortalities were recorded throughout the experiments. The parasitic status of dead fish was checked by microscopic examination of fresh intestinal scrapings. Fish were sampled after 113 days post exposure (p.e.). Feeding was stopped one day prior to the sampling to ensure that the digestive tract was empty. Head kidney and posterior intestine were rapidly excised, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80 °C until RNA extraction and analysis. Keywords: Treated/Untreated, confinement, cortisol, stress response, time course, microarray 28 intestine samples - Twenty eight slides were hybridised using a reference design. Three groups (control, infected and non-infected) were compared using five individual fish in each group. Each sample was hybridised twice - the second being a dye-swap of the first.

Project description:The Patancheru area near Hyderabad in India is recognized as a key link in the global supply chain for many bulk drugs. A central treatment plant receives wastewater from about 90 different manufacturers and the resulting complex effluent has contaminated surface, ground and drinking water in the region. Ecotoxicological testing of the effluent has shown adverse effects for several organisms, including aquatic vertebrates. In an attempt to start investigating how exposure to effluent-contaminated water may affect humans and other terrestrial vertebrates, rats were tube-fed effluent. Results from microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays indicated, however, no marked effects on hepatic gene expression after five days exposure. Neither did a clinical analysis of blood serum constituents used as biomarkers for human disease reveal any significant changes, nor were there any effects on weight gain. Taken together, we could not find evidence for any acute toxicity in the rat; however, we cannot rule out that higher doses of effluent or a longer exposure time may still be associated with risks for terrestrial vertebrates.

Project description:Juvenile gilthead sea bream of 10-15 g initial body weight were randomly distributed in eight 500-L tanks in a seawater re-circulatory system equipped with physical and biological filters, and a heat-unit system that maintained water temperature above 18-19 ºC. Fish grew from July to December at a density of 8-10 kg/m3 with an overall daily growth index of 1.9 ± 0.01. Extruded pellets (47 % protein, 21% lipid; Proaqua, Palencia, Spain) were offered to visual satiety. Feeding was stopped one day before confinement exposure, and batches of 10 fish were then transferred from two 500-L tanks to cylinder net baskets of 10-L volume (117-123 Kg/m3), suspended each one in 90-L tanks with a high flow of seawater (10 L/min) to avoid water deterioration (Oxygen > 5 ppm; unionised ammonia < 0.02 mg/L). Fish from seven additional 500-L tanks were established as control groups, and remained undisturbed prior to sampling at zero and each sampling time. At each sampling time (1.5, 3, 6, 24, 72 and 120 h), eight fish from one control and one confinement tank were netted into a bucket to be anaesthetized with 0.1 g/L 3-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (MS-222). Fish were killed by cervical section and liver was taken, frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 ºC until RNA isolation. Only 6h, 72h and 120h were analysed on the microarray. The experimental design was a reference design with the reference being prepared from a pool of all (confined and control) RNAs used in the microarray analysis. All samples were hybridised twice (except L72C5R, L120C2F, L120S4F, L24C4F) with one being the dye swap of the other. Keywords: Time Course

Project description:Atlantic salmon individuals were grown, from fresh water to salt water in tanks on diets with low fish meal (10%) and 1-1.25% total n-3 LC-PUFA levels. Dietary n-3 LC-PUFAs were supplemented by 1) fish oil (FO), 2) Schyzochytrium limacinum biomass (AA). Further, the fish from all treatments were mixed and redistributed in sea cages reared to slaughter (ca. 3kg body weight) on either FO or AA. Transcriptomics analyses in liver and intestinal tissues revealed significant dietary effects on the expression of immune modulating, as well as ion, lipid, protein and xenobiotic metabolism genes.

Project description:Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic estrogen that has been banned for use in humans, but still is employed in livestock and aquaculture operations in some parts of the world. Detectable concentrations of DES in effluent and surface waters have been reported to range from slightly below 1 to greater than 10 ng/L. Little is known, however, concerning the toxicological potency of DES in fish. In this study, sexually-mature fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) of both sexes were exposed to 1, 10 or 100 ng DES/L water in a flow-through system. Tissue concentrations of DES and changes in a number of estrogen-responsive endpoints, including alterations to the hepatic transcriptome in females, were measured in the fish at the end of a 4-d exposure, and after a 4-d depuration/recovery period in clean water. The objectives of the study were to measure accumulation of DES in fish tissues, characterize effects of the chemical on physiological endpoints related to reproductive performance, and to evaluate DES's potency relative to concentrations reported in aquatic environments. The current series includes n=11 microarrays associated with recovery-phase samples (collected from fish exposed continuously for 4 d, and then held in control water for an additional 4 days before tissues were collected). Fish were exposed to 0, 1, 10, or 100 ng DES/L delivered in a continuous flow (45 ml/min) of sand filtered, UV treated, Lake Superior Water, without the use of carrier solvents. Flow of DES into the test system was initiated without fish present and continued for 1 d. Exposures then were started by placing three male and three female sexually-mature fathead minnows into each tank. There were eight replicate tanks for the control and 100 ng/L treatments, and six replicate tanks for the 1 and 10 ng/L groups. The fish were held at 25+1M-BM-:C under a 16:8 L:D photoperiod and were fed frozen adult brine shrimp twice daily (San Francisco Bay Brand, Newark, CA, USA). Fish used for the experiment were from an on-site culture, and all procedures involving animals conformed to guidelines approved by the local Animal Care and Use Committee. After the 4-d exposure, fish from three tanks from each treatment (n=9 per sex) were sampled for determination of various biological endpoints. At this time fish from two additional tanks from the control and 100 ng/L treatments also were sampled for determination of DES tissue residues (n=6 per sex). Delivery of DES to the test system was subsequently stopped, and fish from the remaining three tanks per treatment group were sampled 4 d later (n= 9 per sex). The fathead minnows were euthanized with buffered MS-222 (Argent, Redmond, VA, USA) and weighed. Fish were scored for occurrence and relative expression of nuptial tubercles, which in males can be reduced by ER agonists. Blood was collected from the caudal vein/artery with a microhematocrit tube, and plasma was separated by centrifugation and stored at -80M-BM-:C. Gonads were removed from males and a subsample (8.5M-BM-13.0 mg; meanM-BM-1SD) was immediately immersed in tissue culture media for determination of ex vivo steroid production. Livers were removed from both sexes and flash-frozen for gene expression analyses using microarray (females) or real-time QPCR (males). Hepatic transcripts from three females per treatment group, in each phase of the experiment (except n=2 from recovery phase 10 ng/L) were analyzed using a custom 15,000 feature microarray (GEO Platform Accession GPL9248). Data sets for the exposure phase (n=12 microarrays) and recovery phase (n=11) were normalized independently using Fastlo (Ballman et al., 2004) implemented in R (http://www.r-project.org/), but analyzed using parallel approaches.

Project description:Three surface waters in Gainesville, Florida were used in a 48 hour whole effluents exposure to assess gene expression profiles of male fathead minnow liver. Microarray analysis was used to determine changes in gene expression of exposed fish to waters from a site downstream of a wastewater treatment plant (streamwater), a wastewater treatment plant (wastewater), and a lake (stormwater). Differences in gene expression between fish exposed to collected waters and controls were observed. Number of altered genes and biological processes were 1028 and 18 for stormwater; 787 and 19 for streamwater; and: 575 and 12 for wastewater. In general, the effects observed in all exposed fish were related with fatty acid metabolism, DNA repair, oxidation-reduction process, cell wall catabolic process and apoptosis. All exposed fish showed altered expression of genes related with DNA damage repair. In particular fish exposed to stormwater and streamwater showed downregulation of several key intermediates transcripts of cholesterol. The presence and environmental persistence of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in these waters, the resemblance in known effects on transcripts with those found in this study, suggest that the set of genes differentially regulated in fathead minnows after 48 hours of exposure may be attributed to exposure to PFCs. Three surface water sites were chosen for effluent collection in Gainesville, Florida: A lake (stormwater), surface water downstream of a wastewater treatment plant (streamwater), and a wastewater treatment plant effluent used for landscaping irrigation (wastewater). Water from each site was collected two days prior to the fish exposure experiment using Chemfluor ® tubing and a 120 liters steel barrels coated with polyester resin (gel coat) to avoid cross-contamination. Three barrels for each effluent were collected during day 1. Water from the barrel was transported to the laboratory and pumped into four fiberglass cylinders in the aquatic toxicology facility. Water from each cylinder was then pumped into four replicate aquariums per treatment and kept for 1 day without fish (pre-treatment). On day 2, four male fathead minnows from a common tank were transferred to each replicate aquarium and kept for 48 hours, with one 75% water change after first 24 hours. The exposure system consisted of 40 L glass aquaria. Each exposure was conducted in quadruplicate and each aquarium contained the four male fish in 25 L of treatment water . The water used in the control treatment was carbon filtered, dechlorinated tap water. The positions of the treatment tanks were randomized and test initiation times were staggered to ensure an exposure/sampling interval of 48 h. The fish were not fed during the experiment. The temperature range of the water was 24-26 °C with a photoperiod of 16 h light: 8 h dark. Liver was isolate from 4 males indviduals for each treatment except for control group (3 individuals).

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of adipose tissue comparing three diets with different levels of replacement of fish oil for vegetable oils. Juvenile gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) of 16 g initial mean body weight were distributed into 9 fibreglass tanks (500 l) in groups of 60 fish at the research experimental facilities of IATS. Each group received (from May 23rd to September 19th) one of the three experimental diets nominally CTRL, 66VO and VO. All diets were based on plant proteins and dietary oil was either Scandinavian FO (CTRL diet) or a blend of vegetable oils, replacing the 66% (66VO diet) and 100% (VO diet) of FO. Four samples, using a control diet (CTRL) as reference and double color hybridization and dye swap with the other two (66VO, VO)
