Project description:Understanding the consequences of thermal and chemical variations in aquatic habitats is of importance in a scenario of global change. In ecology, the sex ratio is a major population demographic parameter. Research carried out so far on environmental perturbations on fish sex ratios has usually involved a few model species with a strong genetic basis of sex determination, analyzing juvenile or adult gonads. However, the underlying mechanisms at the time of commitment are poorly understood. The European sea bass has a mixed genetic and environmental sex determination system, which makes it naturally sensitive to environmental cues. Here, we transcriptomically analyzed developing gonads experiencing either testis or ovarian differentiation as a result of thermal and/or estrogen influences. Elevated temperature masculinized genetic females while estrogen exposure resulted in an all-female population. A total of 383 genes were differentially expressed, with an overall downregulation in the expression of genes involved both in testicular and ovarian differentiation in the estrogen-exposed fish achieved by a shutdown of the first steps of steroidogenesis. GO enrichment analysis uncovered affected pathways related to the immune response, xenobiotic metabolism, response to stimulus, signaling and growth. However, once the female phenotype was imposed gonads could continue their normal development, even taking into account that some of the resulting females were fish that otherwise would have developed as males. The data on the underlying mechanisms operating at the molecular level presented here contributes to better understanding the sex ratio response of fish species subjected to a combination of environmental perturbations.

Project description:A custom multi-species microarray was used to study gene expression in wild hornyhead turbot (Pleuronichthys verticalis), collected from polluted and clean coastal waters in Southern California and in laboratory male zebrafish (Danio rerio) following exposure to estradiol and 4-nonylphenol. A multi-gene cross species microarray was fabricated as a diagnostic tool to screen the effects of environmental chemicals in fish, for which there is minimal genomic information. The microarray measurement of gene expression in zebrafish, which are phylogenetically distant from turbot, indicates that this multi-species microarray will be useful for measuring endocrine responses in Pleuronectiformes and other fish for which there is minimal genomic sequence information.

Project description:Every protein progresses through a natural lifecycle from birth to maturation to death; this process is coordinated by the protein homeostasis system. Environmental or physiological conditions trigger pathways that maintain the homeostasis of the proteome. An open question is how these pathways are modulated to respond to the many stresses that an organism encounters during its lifetime. To address this question, we tested how the fitness landscape changes in response to environmental and genetic perturbations using directed and massively parallel transposon mutagenesis in Caulobacter crescentus. We developed a general computational pipeline for the analysis of gene-by-environment interactions in transposon mutagenesis experiments. This pipeline uses a combination of general linear models (GLMs), statistical knockoffs, and a nonparametric Bayesian statistical model to identify essential genetic network components that are shared across environmental perturbations. This analysis allows us to quantify the similarity of proteotoxic environmental perturbations from the perspective of the fitness landscape. We find that essential genes vary more by genetic background than by environmental conditions, with limited overlap among mutant strains targeting different facets of the protein homeostasis system. We also identified 146 unique fitness determinants across different strains, with 19 genes common to at least two strains, showing varying resilience to proteotoxic stresses. Experiments exposing cells to a combination of genetic perturbations and dual environmental stressors show that perturbations that are quantitatively dissimilar from the perspective of the fitness landscape are likely to have a synergistic effect on the growth defect.

Project description:Understanding natural defence mechanisms against parasites can be a valuable tool for the development of innovative therapies. In this study, we investigated the interplay between the gill mucus metabolome and microbiome of Chaetodon lunulatus, a butterflyfish known to avoid gill monogeneans whilst living amongst closely related parasitized species. In an attempt to identify metabolites and OTUs potentially involved in parasite defence mechanisms, we studied the metabolome (LC-MS/MS) and microbiome of several sympatric butterflyfish species, including the only non-parasitized species C. lunulatus. After observing significant differences between the metabolome and microbiome of parasitized versus non-parasitized fish (PCoA, ANOSIM), we obtained the discriminant metabolites and OTUs using a supervised analysis. Some of the most important discriminant metabolites were identified as peptides, and three new β-subunit haemoblogin-derived peptides from C. lunulatus (CLHbβ-1, CLHbβ-2 and CLHbβ-3) were purified, characterised and synthesised. We also identified specific bacterial families and OTUs typical from low-oxygen habitats in C. lunulatus gill mucus. By using a correlation network between the two datasets, we found a Fusobacteriaceae strain exclusively present in C. lunulatus highly correlated to the peptides. Finally, we discuss the possible involvement of these peptides and Fusobacteriaceae in monogenean avoidance by this fish species.

Project description:Sequential hermaphroditism, whereby the sex of one individual changes during its development, has been described in many fish species. Yet, the genetic regulation of this dynamic process of sexual differentiation is not well understood. Here, we report the characterization of sequential hermaphroditism in an aquacultural fish, the zig-zag eel (Mastacembelus armatus), based on 4 years of artificial breeding. All M. armatus individuals initially developed as females, with approximately half of them then becoming males after going through an intersex phase.

Project description:Hypoxia in coastal waters is an increasing concern, with the frequency of hypoxic events rising because of climate change and human-driven impacts such as eutrophication. The Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus), an estuarine species known for its resilience to environmental stressors, provides a valuable model to investigate the physiological, transcriptional, and epigenetic mechanisms underlying adaptation. Some killifish populations, like those in New Bedford Harbor (NBH), Massachusetts, have evolved resistance to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) due to chronic exposure. These populations offer a unique opportunity to investigate how toxicant resistance might influence responses to secondary stressors like hypoxia. The objective of this study is to characterize the impacts of evolved resistance to toxicants on the ability to cope with acute hypoxia. We compared hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation patterns in response to two levels of hypoxia in killifish from NBH and Scorton Creek (SC), a reference population from a relatively pristine environment. We hypothesized that NBH fish would exhibit altered molecular responses to hypoxia due to trade-offs associated with toxicant resistance. Our results revealed significant differences between the two populations. SC fish demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in gene expression in response to hypoxia, while NBH fish exhibited a muted transcriptional response to severe hypoxia, indicating potential impairment in their ability to cope with hypoxic stress. Interestingly, NBH fish showed significant DNA methylation changes in response to hypoxia, while SC fish did not exhibit notable epigenetic alterations. These findings suggest that toxicant-adapted killifish may face trade-offs in their response to additional environmental stressors, with potential consequences for their ability to survive in increasingly hypoxic coastal habitats. Further research is needed to elucidate the functional implications of these epigenetic modifications and their role in adaptive stress responses.
