Project description:The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most important aquaculture species worlwide. In this study, transcriptional profiling of skin by oligonucleotide microarray was applied to rainbow trout individuals infected with A. salmonicida, to identified enriched genes involved in pathogen response.
Project description:We constructed a targeted cDNA microarray consisting of 147 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) genes with known function to examine the transcriptional response to a standardized handling stress.
Project description:The aim of present study is to identify and quantify proteins involved in the events of fertilization and early embryo development using a label-free protein quantification method in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as an economically important fish species in aquaculture.
Project description:We investigated the effects of chronic TCDD exposure on global gene expression in developing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Juvenile rainbow trout (0.18±0.01g) were fed Biodiet starter with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100ppb, and ten fish were sampled and pooled from each group for microarray experiments at 28 days after initiation of the exposure. Gene expression analysis was performed using the Genomics Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP) 16K cDNA microarrays. TCDD-responsive whole body transcripts identified in the microarray experiments have putative functions involved in various biological processes including cellular process, metabolic process, biological regulation, and response to stimulus. In addition, TCDD caused leisons in multiple organ systems in juvenile rainbow, including skin, oropharynx, liver, gas bladder, intestine, pancreas, nose and kidney.
Project description:A rapid decline in temperature poses a major challenge for poikilothermic fish. The gene expression of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss having undergone such a cold shock (0 °C) and a control (5 °C) were compared in a microarray-based study.
Project description:In the present work, we evaluated the effects of membrane-initiated cortisol actions in vivo in the proteome of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) skeletal muscle. Quantitative iTRAQ analyses were performed to examine proteomic changes in rainbow trout stimulated with physiological concentrations of cortisol and cortisol-BSA. A total of 873 proteins were identified, among which 38 proteins were commonly and differentially expressed under both conditions. Functional clustering analysis revealed an upregulation of proteins associated with mitochondria, metal-binding and secreted proteins.
Project description:In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the effect of a paternal and a maternal high carbohydrate/low protein diet was assessed on progeny. To this purpose, two-year old males and females rainbow trout were fed either a control diet or a high carbohydrate/low protein diet for an entire reproductive cycle for females and for 5 months for males. Crossed-fertilizations were carried out in order to obtain 4 groups of offspring. Before the first feeding, whole fry transcriptomes were compared to detect any impact of the parental diet on offspring metabolism.
Project description:We investigated the effects of chronic TCDD exposure on global gene expression in developing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Juvenile rainbow trout(0.18±0.01g) were fed Biodiet starter with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100ppb, and ten fish were sampled and pooled from 10 ppb group at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days for microarray experiments after initiation of the exposure. Gene expression analysis was performed using the Genomics Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP) 16K cDNA microarrays. TCDD-responsive whole body transcripts identified in the microarray experiments have putative functions involved in various biological processes including response to stimulus, cell wall organization or biogenesis, growth and cell proliferation. In addition, TCDD caused leisons in multiple organ systems in juvenile rainbow, including skin, oropharynx, liver, gas bladder, intestine, pancreas, nose and kidney.
Project description: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:The rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, is relatively sensitive to hypoxia and does not survive deep hypoxia or anoxia. Given this lack of hypoxia-tolerance in the whole animal, the aim of this experiment was to investigate the in vitro responses of cultured rainbow trout cells following anoxia exposure. Rainbow trout hypodermal fibroblast (RTHDF) cells were exposed to anoxia for 12 and 24 h, whilst control cells were held under normoxic conditions for 24 h. Differential gene expression as a consequence of the treatments was analysed using an oligoarray composed of approximately 21,500 BLAST-identified sequences fabricated on the Agilent microarray platform. 57 genes were found to display significant responses to oxygen deprivation and these genes were assigned Gene Ontology terms and IDs. Of the 57 differentially expressed genes, 6 genes associated with carbohydrate metabolism were up-regulated following anoxia, these included phosphoglucomutase (PGM) and glycogen phosphorylase, consistent with glycogen serving as an important energy source during anoxia. Other genes up-regulated in response to anoxia included a number of putative targets of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1A), namely phosphoglycerate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase and the glucose transporter, GLUT2. Egl9 homolog 3, the proline hydroxylase responsible for HIF1A regulation, was also induced. This analysis indicates that cultured trout cells have the capacity for adaptive gene responses when subjected to oxygen levels that are lethal to the whole organism.
