Project description:The declining health of coral reefs worldwide is likely to intensify in response to continued anthropogenic disturbance from coastal development, pollution, and climate change. In response to these stresses, reef-building corals may exhibit bleaching, which marks the breakdown in symbiosis between coral and zooxanthellae. Mass coral bleaching due to elevated water temperature can devastate coral reefs on a large geographic scale. In order to understand the molecular and cellular basis of bleaching in corals, we have measured gene expression changes associated with thermal stress and bleaching using a cDNA microarray containing 1,310 genes of the Caribbean coral Montastraea faveolata. In a first experiment, we identified differentially expressed genes by comparing experimentally bleached M. faveolata fragments to control non-heat-stressed fragments. We also identified differentially expressed genes during a time course experiment with four time points across nine days. Results suggest that thermal stress and bleaching in M. faveolata affect the following processes: oxidative stress, Ca2+ homeostasis, cytoskeletal organization, cell death, calcification, metabolism, protein synthesis, heat shock protein activity, and transposon activity. These results represent the first large-scale transcriptomic study focused on revealing the cellular foundation of thermal stress-induced coral bleaching. We postulate that oxidative stress in thermal-stressed corals causes a disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis, which in turn leads to cytoskeletal and cell adhesion changes, decreased calcification, and the initiation of cell death via apoptosis and necrosis.

Project description:Coral reefs worldwide are facing rapid decline due to coral bleaching. However, knowledge of the physiological characteristics and molecular mechanisms of coral symbionts respond to stress is scarce. Here, metagenomic and metaproteomic approach were utilized to shed light on the changes in the composition and functions of coral symbionts during coral bleaching. The results demonstrated that coral bleaching significantly affected the composition of symbionts, with bacterial communities dominating in bleached corals. Difference analysis of gene and protein indicated that symbiont functional disturbances in response to heat stress, resulting in abnormal energy metabolism that could potentially compromise symbiont health and resilience. Furthermore, our findings highlighted the highly diverse microbial communities of coral symbionts, with beneficial bacteria provide critical services to corals in stress responses, while pathogenic bacteria drive coral bleaching. This study provides comprehensive insights into the complex response mechanisms of coral symbionts under thermal stress and offers fundamental data for future monitoring of coral health.

Project description:Twelve coral colonies of Montipora capitata were collected from patch reefs located in Kāne’ohe Bay, O’ahu, Hawai’i. Colonies were brought to shore where they were immediately split into two equally sized pieces, which were acclimated before bleaching. Half of each colony went to an increased water temperature treatment (30°C, bleaching treatment) and the other stayed at ambient temperature (25°C, nonbleached treatment) for three weeks. For the bleaching treatment, experimental tank temperatures were increased 2°C per day ( 1°C every 12 hours) for four days to a final temperature of 30°C. Samples were collected before bleaching (T1) and 24 hours after bleached colonies were returned to ambient temperature (T2), through 3 months post-bleaching (T6).

Project description:In recent years, extensive mortality caused by global-scale bleaching events has led to the rapid degradation of reef structures, resulting in severe environmental consequences. The hydrocoral Millepora complanata (fire coral) plays a critical role in reef structure and relies on a symbiotic relationship with Symbiodiniaceae. Environmental stressors derived from climate change, such as UV radiation and elevated temperatures disrupt this symbiosis, leading to bleaching and threatening reef survival. Despite its importance in reef building, the molecular response of this cnidarian to thermal stress have been poorly explored. For this reason, the objective of this study is to investigate the proteomic response of M. complanata to bleaching during the 2015–2016 El Niño event. Fragments from non-bleached and bleached colonies of the hydrocoral M. complanata were collected from a coral reef in the Mexican Caribbean, and proteomic extracts were analyzed using nano-liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS). Uni- and multivariate analyses were applied to identify significant differences in protein abundance. A total of 52 proteins showed differential abundance, including 24 that showed increased expression and 28 whose expression decreased in bleached fragments. Differentially abundant proteins were associated with amino acid biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, cytoskeleton organization, DNA repair, extracellular matrix composition, redox homeostasis, and protein modification. These findings indicate that heat stress triggers molecular responses involving protein refolding, enhanced vesicle transport, cytoskeletal reorganization, and adjustments in redox activity, thereby contributing to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying bleaching in reef-building hydrocorals.

Project description:Coral bleaching occurs in response to numerous abiotic stressors, the ecologically most relevant of which is hyperthermic stress due to increasing seawater temperatures. Bleaching events can span large geographic areas and are currently a potent threat to coral reefs worldwide. Much effort has been focused on understanding the molecular and cellular events underlying bleaching, and these studies have mainly utilized heat and light stress regimes. In an effort to determine whether different stressors share common bleaching mechanisms, we used cDNA microarrays for the corals Acropora palmata and Montastraea faveolata (containing > 10,000 features) to measure differential gene expression during darkness stress. This is the first coral microarray experiment aimed at darkness stress, and the first for these species to interrogate gene expression at such a large scale. Our results reveal a striking transcriptomic response to darkness in A. palmata involving chaperone and antioxidant up-regulation, growth arrest, and metabolic modifications. As these responses were also measured during thermal stress, our results suggest that different stressors may share common bleaching mechanisms. Furthermore, our results point to ER stress as a critical cellular event involved in darkness-specific (and possibly more general) molecular bleaching mechanisms. On the other hand, we identified a meager transcriptomic response to darkness in M. faveolata where gene expression differences between host colonies and/or sampling locations were greater than differences between control and stressed fragments. To this end, we discuss the importance of factors related to host genotype, Symbiodinium genotype, and the abiotic environment that influence host gene expression and thereby can hinder an investigator’s ability to measure gene expression during a condition of interest.
