Project description:In this study, we used the iTRAQ proteomics approach to perform proteomic profiling of spermatozoa associated with sperm quality in sturgeons. The results showed 291 and 359 differentially expressed proteins in A. baerii and A. schrenckii, respectively, of which 72 were common to both species and all were upregulated in high quality compared with low quality samples. The differentially expressed proteins were mainly categorized into the generation of precursor metabolites and energy and oxidation, and they were localized to the mitochondria. Three distinguishing pathways, Arginine and proline metabolism, Pyruvate metabolism and the Citrate cycle (TCA cycle) were found to play an important role in energy metabolism, and some substrates could be used in the sperm medium for storage and cryopreservation.

Project description:Gamete quality is one of the most important element of successful aquaculture. This especially applies to a newly domesticated fish species, such as pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) in which lowered and/or variable egg quality is one of the biggest obstacles toward rapid production expansion. However, mechanisms underlying pikeperch egg developmental competences remain unknown. Therefore, a quantitative proteome study was performed with high (HQ) and low (LQ) quality domesticated pikeperch eggs using a label free LC-MS/MS approach.

Project description:Humans and animals have problems producing eggs with high embryo developmental competence, but the causes of poor egg quality are usually unknown. This study delivered the first proteomic portraits of egg quality in zebrafish, a leading model for vertebrate development. Egg batches of good and poor quality, evidenced by embryo survival for 24 h, were used to create pooled or replicated sample sets subjected to different levels of fractionation before LC-MS/MS. Obtained spectra were searched against a custom zebrafish proteome database and detected proteins were annotated, categorized and quantified based on their normalized spectral counts. Manual and automated enrichment analyses were highly confirmative, showing that good and poor quality eggs have disparate proteomes. Proteins involved in protein synthesis, energy metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and certain vitellogenin products were strikingly underrepresented in poor quality eggs. Poor quality eggs also had significantly higher representation of proteins related to immune system and endosome/lysosome functioning, oncogenes, and apoptosis, as well as lectins and egg envelope proteins. Quantitative comparisons of highly abundant proteins revealed 9 candidate egg quality markers warranting further study. In conclusion, the zebrafish egg proteome appears to be linked to embryo developmental potential, a phenomenon that begs further investigation.

Project description:The aim of the project was to identify differently expressed genes in eggs of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) characterized by different quality. In this way it was expected to identify genes possibly being a molecular indicator of egg quality in this species, which was never studied to date. For the study microarray analysis of over 26 thousand genes in 16 egg batches was performed. Additionally, for each egg batch biological quality was determined, what allowed to compare the gene expression profile with overall egg quality (divided into two groups representing ‘high’ and ‘low’ egg quality). The analysis allowed to identify 39 differently expressed genes between the two groups representing ‘high’ and ‘low’ egg quality. From those genes, expression level of 7 were verified by real-time qPCR which confirmed significant difference in expression in 5 of them.

Project description:Background: Poultry eggs are a low cost, high protein nutrient package that can be consumed as part of a quality diet. However, consumption of poultry egg products has been historically contentious, which highlights the importance of investigating impacts of long-term egg consumption on metabolic health. Objective: Our study utilized the zebrafish Danio rerio, a newly-defined model of human metabolic health, to understand the metabolic consequence of consuming egg products in lieu of other well-described protein sources. Methods: Reference diets were formulated to contain multi-source protein with casein and fish protein hydrolysate (CON; control protein sources), the protein sources of which have been vetted in numerous reference diets. These proteins were then replaced in part with either whole egg (WE; protein and lipid source), egg white (EW; protein source), wheat gluten (WG; cereal protein source), or a high lipid content diet containing a multi-source protein with casein and fish protein hydrolysate (HFCON; isonitrogenous and isolipidic with the WE diet) in a 34-week trial. Daily feeding was initiated at early juvenile life stage and terminated at late reproductive adult stage. Results: The amino acid composition of control vs egg product diets did not vary substantially, although methionine and lysine were apparently limiting in fish fed WG. At termination, fish fed EW as the protein source had similar weight gain and body composition to those fed the CON diet. Blood glucose, both fasting and postprandial, did not differ among any dietary treatment. Assessment of the liver transcriptome using RNAseq revealed no differential gene expression between zebrafish fed CON or WE diets. Zebrafish fed WG had lower weight gain in males. Conclusions: Long-term consumption of egg products promoted metabolic health equal to that of historically-relevant proteins. These data support the value of egg products for maintaining long-term metabolic health in animal diets.

Project description:Molecular profiling of the eggs is an excellent approach aiming at understanding biological processes and mechanisms conditioning developmental competence in finfishes and, consequently, reproductive fitness. Despite many efforts, it is still unclear what is the specific role of transcriptome and proteome in determination of egg quality in Teleostei fishes. The aim of this study was to perform integrated transcriptomic-proteomic analysis of eggs of pikeperch – a commercially relevant freshwater fish species. Additionally, comparative analysis of transcriptome and proteome in eggs characterized by either high or low egg quality has been performed, in order to identify mechanisms leading to early embryonic lethality in pikeperch. Our study provides a novel insight into the understanding of the role of maternally-derived molecular cargo in finfishes. The data obtained sheds light on the importance of transcriptome in development of nervous system suggesting neurogenesis-related mRNAs as a very important, non-genetic inheritance factor. Proteomic analysis highlights specific role of proteins in the immune response in ovulated eggs. Integrated analysis brings attention to the galactose-specific lectin nattectin gene and protein as the frontline defense molecule for the egg and developing embryo. The molecular analysis of egg developmental competence emphasizes post-vitellogenic processes (final oocyte maturation and ovulation) as the ones potentially compromising transcriptomic profile, but not affecting proteomic cargo. It highlights the need for careful reconsideration of the commercial reproductive protocols as the very strong modulators of egg quality and their molecular profile. Considering the mechanisms driving these alterations as well as consequences stemming from the differential abundance of the transcripts are still to be explored, the candidate quality markers, first time provided for pikeperch along with the current study, are creating valuable resource for further studies.

Project description:This study aimed to evaluate the utility of microarrays as a biomonitoring tool in field studies. A 15,000-oligonucleotide microarray was used to measure the hepatic gene expression of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) caged in four Nebraska, USA watersheds - the Niobrara and Dismal Rivers (low-impact agricultural sites) and the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers (high-impact agricultural sites). Gene expression profiles were site specific and fish from the low- and high-impact sites aggregated into distinct groups. Over 1500 genes were differentially regulated between fish from the low- and high-impact sites. Many gene expression differences (1218) were also noted when the Platte and Elkhorn minnows were compared to one another and Platte fish experienced a higher degree of transcript alterations than Elkhorn fish. These findings indicate that there are differences between the low-impact and high-impact sites, as well as between the high-impact sites. Historical water quality data supports these results as only trace levels of agrichemicals have been detected at the low-impact sites, while substantial levels of agrichemicals have been reported at the high-impact sites with agrichemical loads at the Platte generally exceeding those at the Elkhorn. Overall, this study demonstrates that microarrays can be utilized to discriminate sites with different contaminant loads from one another.

Project description:To characterise the transcriptional response in brain of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) that were persistently infected with infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and to determine whether carrying the IHNV affects the ability to respond to other immunological challenges we compared the brain transcriptome of IHNV carriers, IHNV-negative survivors, and naïve Sockeye Salmon that were never exposed to IHNV. In addition we determined the transcriptional changes among carriers, survivors and naïve fish in their response to the viral mimic polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), using the cGRASP 44K salmon oligoarray. Fish that survived an immersion challenge with IHNV and time-matched control (naïve) fish that were never exposed to IHNV were reassigned into 2 tanks each at 271 days post challenge (dpc). One group each of the challenged and naïve fish received an intraperitoneal injection of poly(I:C). For controls, a group each of challenged and naïve fish were not injected. Brain tissues were sampled from each tank at 3 (274 dpc), 7 (278 dpc) and 10 (281 dpc) days after poly(I:C) injection. Based on the presence of IHNV in brain fish were assigned into “carriers” and “survivors”, i.e. fish with detectable and undetectable levels of IHNV, respectively. For transcriptomic profiling brain samples were analysed from naïve (n = 7), survivors (n = 7), and carriers (n = 5), as well as poly(I:C)-injected naïve (n = 7), poly(I:C)-injected survivors (n = 7), and poly(I:C)-injected carriers (n = 2). All analysed brain samples were collected 274 dpc (i.e. 3 d after poly(I:C) injection) with the exception of two carriers that were collected 278 dpc. The smaller sample size for carriers was a result of the few individuals that survived the exposure that ended up carrying the virus.

Project description:Prymnesium parvum is regarded as one of the most notorious harmful algal bloom (HAB) species worldwide. In recent years, it has frequently formed toxic blooms in coastal and brackish waters of America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia, causing large-scale mortalities of wild and cultured fish and other gill-breathing animals. In the last decade, blooms of P. parvum have expanded to inland fresh waters in the USA, presumably due to changes in environmental conditions. The aim of the experiment was to establish the gill transcriptomic responses to P. parvum in rainbow trout. We used 2 different concentrations of P. parvum and identified fish with low and moderate responses to the algae. Based on the dose of and the fish response, fish were classified into 4 groups with high exposure/moderate response (HM), high exposure/low response (HL), low exposure/low response (LL) and control group (C) with no exposure/no response. Gene expression profiling of the gill tissue was performed using a microarray platform developed and validated for rainbow trout.
