Project description:Alkalinity stress is considered to be one of the major stressors for fish in saline-alkali water. Thus, it is of great significance from both aquaculture and physiological viewpoint to understand the molecular genetic response of aquatic organisms to alkalinity stress. The objective of this study is to determine genome-wide gene expression profiles to better understand the physiology response of medaka (Oryzias latipes) to high carbonate alkalinity stress. In lab-based cultures, adult fish were exposed to freshwater and high carbonate alkalinity water .We designed a microarray containing 26429 oligonucleotides and describe our experimental results for measuring gene expression changes in the gill of carbonate alkalinity stress exposed fish. The fish were exposed to freshwater (FW) and high carbonate alkalinity water (AW) for 96h, each with three replicates.

Project description:Triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) is a widely used organophosphate flame retardant and plasticizer, raising concerns over its health impacts. This study examined the effects of embryonic TPhP exposure on axial skeletal development and metabolism in medaka (Oryzias latipes), a vertebrate fish model relevant to human bone biology. Medaka embryos were exposed to 1 µM TPhP and assessed through early larval stages. TPhP impaired vertebral ossification, causing shortened centra and reduced cartilage in the caudal complex, alongside disrupted distribution of osteoblast-lineage cells. Key osteogenic genes were significantly downregulated at 14 days post-fertilization, and transcriptomic analysis revealed altered mitochondrial pathways linked to skeletal disorders. Functionally, TPhP-exposed larvae showed reduced caudal fin regeneration and decreased metabolic rate and oxygen consumption, consistent with mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings indicate that TPhP disrupts bone development and metabolism by affecting osteoblast differentiation and mitochondrial regulation, highlighting the value of small fish models for studying environmental toxicants and bone metabolic disease risk.
Project description:The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of Oryzias latifes (Korea native ricefish) upon treatment of mock, ampicillin and erythromycin
Project description:To examine the seasonal adaptation, we compared the gene expression of eyes between SL (short-day and low-temperature conditions: 10 h light/14 h dark and 8 °C) and LD (long-day and warm-temperature conditions: 14 h light/10 h dark and 26 °C) conditions in Medaka fish (Oryzias latipes).
