Project description:In the last years, the innate immune response has gained importance since evidences indicate that, after an adequate priming protocol, it is possible to obtain some prolonged and enhanced immune response. Nevertheless, several factors, such as timing and method of administration of the immunostimulants need to be carefully considered. An inappropriate protocol can transform the treatments into a double-edged sword for the teleost immune system, resulting in a stressful and immunosuppressive status. In this work, we analyzed the long-term effect of different stimuli (β-glucans, lipopolysaccharide and Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid) on the transcriptome modulation induced by Spring Viraemia Carp Virus (SVCV) in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) and on the mortalities caused by this infection. At 35 days post-immunostimulation the transcriptome was found to be highly altered compared to the control fish, and these stimuli also conditioned the response to SVCV challenge, especially in the case of β-glucans. No protection against SVCV was found with any of the stimuli and even non-significant higher mortalities were observed, especially with β-glucans. However, at short-term (a pre-stimulation with β-glucan and infection after 7 days) a slight protection was observed after infection. The transcriptome response in zebrafish kidney at 35 days post-treatment with β-glucans revealed a significant response associated to stress and immunosuppression. The identification of genes differentially expressed before and after the infection seem to indicate a high energy cost of the immunostimulation prolonged in time that could explain the lack of protection against the SVCV. The differential response to stress, alterations in the lipid metabolism, the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway and the interferon-gamma signaling seem to be some of the mechanisms involved in this particular response, which means the end of the trained immunity and the beginning of a stressful status characterized by immunosuppression.

Project description:All vertebrates have multiple genes encoding for different CASQ isoforms. Increasing interest has been focused on mammalian and human CASQ genes since mutations of both cardiac (CASQ2) and skeletal (CASQ1) isoforms cause different, and sometime severe, human pathologies Danio rerio (zebrafish) is a powerful model for studying function and mutations of human proteins. In this work expression, biochemical properties and cellular and sub-cellular localization of Danio rerio native CASQ isoforms are investigated. By quantitative PCR three mRNAs were detected in skeletal muscle and one mRNA in heart. Three zebrafish CASQs were identified by mass spectrometry and they share properties with mammalian skeletal and cardiac CASQs. Skeletal calsequestrins were found primarily, but not exclusively, at the sarcomere Z-line level where Terminal Cisternae of Sarcoplasmic reticulum are located.
