Project description:Introduction: A major economic impediment to the aquaculture of marine finfish in land-based recirculating systems is maintaining the system salinity at a range for optimal growth. Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) are warm water, euryhaline, marine finfish shown to be a suitable candidate for low-salinity culture. Due to its popularity among sport and commercial fishers, high market value, and ability to readily consume pelleted feeds, the Florida Pompano has become a renewed target for commercialized aquaculture. Although the Florida Pompano has been successfully grown at various salinities, its optimal growth salinity has not yet been established. Studies have shown culturing at different salinities has an effect on digestion rates, feed utilization, and lipid biosynthesis. Identifying the optimal salinity for growth would result in decreased energy expenditure on maintaining homeostasis, since osmoregulation is a highly demanding process. This would allow for energy to be spent on the efficient use of nutrients. Methods: Our study was designed to determine how Florida Pompano larviculture at various salinities affects fish health with transcriptomics (RNA-seq) and fatty acid analysis. RNA-seq was used to identify genes actively transcribed and expressed at the time of sampling. After hatching in a salinity of ~ 30 ppt, larvae were reared in 345 L tanks at one of three salinities (10, 20, 30 ppt) in triplicate. Larvae samples for RNA-seq and fatty acid analysis were collected every three days until weaning. Samples for fatty acid composition were analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). RNA was extracted from homogenized whole-body samples using the Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit. Total RNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 System. Raw sequences were filtered for low-quality sequences, aligned to the S. dumerili reference genome (NCBI Genome: 12614), and quantified. Each sampling day was compared across salinities to establish the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between salinities. Results & Discussion: The numbers of DEGS in pooled samples was minimal (less than 15 total in each comparison) and the number of DEGS at each dph was variable. There were no significant differences between pooled samples or at each dph according to PERMANOVA analysis, but each dph was statistically different on pairwise analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that there was a downregulation of immune related genes in lower salinities versus higher salinities suggesting larvae may be dealing with less stress at lower salinities. Most osmoregulation, fatty acid, and immune related genes tested were not significantly different across salinities. This is likely be cause the Florida pompano is euryhaline and has a tolerance to the salinities selected. There was an increase in the expression levels of several immune related genes that may indicate an increase exposure to pathogens at later days post hatch likely related to feeding schedule. There was also an increase in fatty acid biosynthesis genes that corresponded with levels of fatty acids indicating a possible synthesis of essential fatty acids from precursors. Conclusions: From a transcriptomics perspective, the larvae did not show a negative response to lower salinities in comparison to higher salinities, which in fact showed upregulation of immune related genes. Further exploration of Florida pompano’s ability to biosynthesize essential fatty acids is necessary. This study will help enable the optimization of Florida Pompano larviculture using information on the optimal salinity and fatty acid content for growth and facilitate more cost-effective rearing methods.

Project description:In recent years, the gut microbiota and derived metabolites have emerged as relevant players in modulating several brain functions, including energy balance control. This form of distant communication mirrors that of metabolic hormones (e.g., leptin, ghrelin), that convey information about the organism's energy status by exerting effects on diverse brain regions including the master homeostatic centre the hypothalamus. However, whether the hypothalamus is also able to influence gut microbiota composition remains enigmatic. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study designed to unravel this challenging question. To this aim, we employed chemogenetics (to selectively activate or inhibit the activity of hypothalamic POMC or AgRP neurons) or administered leptin or ghrelin centrally to mice. Subsequently, we conducted microbiota composition analysis throughout the gut using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Our results showed that these brain interventions significantly changed the gut microbiota in an anatomical and short-term (2-4h) fashion. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that these changes were associated with the reconfiguration of neuronal and synaptic pathways in the duodenum concomitant with increased sympathetic tone. Interestingly, diet-induced obesity attenuated brain-mediated changes induced by leptin in gut microbiota communities and sympathetic activation. Our findings reveal a novel and unanticipated brain-to-gut axis that acutely attunes microbiota composition at fast timescales, with potential implications for meal-to-meal adjustments and systemic energy balance control.

Project description:Opioid analgesics are frequently prescribed in the United States and worldwide. However, serious side effects such as addiction, immunosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms limit long term use. In the current study using a chronic morphine-murine model a longitudinal approach was undertaken to investigate the role of morphine modulation of gut microbiome as a mechanism contributing to the negative consequences associated with opioids use. The results revealed a significant shift in the gut microbiome and metabolome within 24 hours following morphine treatment when compared to placebo. Morphine induced gut microbial dysbiosis exhibited distinct characteristic signatures profiles including significant increase in communities associated with pathogenic function, decrease in communities associated with stress tolerance. Collectively, these results reveal opioids-induced distinct alteration of gut microbiome, may contribute to opioids-induced pathogenesis. Therapeutics directed at these targets may prolong the efficacy long term opioid use with fewer side effects.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of different clam tissues (hemolymph and mantle) in response to QPX disease and temperautre Quahog Parasite Unknown (QPX) is a fatal protistan parasite that causes severe losses in the hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) fisheries along the northeastern coast of the US. Field and laboratory studies of QPX disease have demonstrated a major role for water temperature and M. mercenaria genetic origin in disease development. Infections are more likely to occur at cold temperatures, with clam stocks originating from southern states being more susceptible than clams from northern origin where disease is enzootic. Even though the influence of temperature on QPX infection have been examined in susceptible and resistant M. mercenaria at physiological and cellular scales, the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with host-pathogen interactions remain largely unknown. This study was carried out to explore the molecular changes in M. mercenaria in response to temperature and QPX infection on the transcriptomic level, and also to compare molecular responses between susceptible and resistant clam stocks. A M. mercenaria oligoarray (15K Agilent) platform was produced based on our previously generated transcriptomic data and was used to compare gene expression profiles in naive and QPX-infected susceptible (Florida stock) and resistant (Massachusetts) clams maintained at temperatures favoring disease development (13 °C) or clam healing (21 °C). In addition, transcriptomic changes reflecting focal (the site of infection, mantle) and systemic (circulating hemocytes) responses were also assessed using the oligoarray platform. Results revealed significant regulation of multiple biological pathways by temperature and QPX infection, mainly associated with immune recognition, microbial killing, protein synthesis, oxidative protection and metabolism. Alterations were widely systemic with most changes in gene expression revealed in hemocytes, highlighting the role of circulating hemocytes as the first line of defense against pathogenic stress. A large number of complement-related recognition molecules with fibrinogen or C1q domains were shown to be specially induced following QPX challenge, and the expression of these molecules was significantly higher in resistant clams as compared to susceptible ones. These highly variable immune proteins may be potent candidate molecular markers for future study of M. mercenaria resistance against QPX. Beyond the specific case of clam response to QPX, this study also provides insights into the primitive complement-like system in the hard clam.

Project description:Rationale: Recent studies suggest a potential link between gut bacterial microbiota dysbiosis and PAH, but the exact role of gut microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, in PAH remains unclear. Objectives: To investigate the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and to assess the therapeutic potential of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in modulating PAH progression. Methods: Using shotgun metagenomics, we analyzed gut microbial communities in IPAH patients and healthy controls. FMT was performed to transfer gut microbiota from IPAH patients or MCT-PAH rats to normal rats and from healthy rats to MCT-PAH rats. Hemodynamic measurements, echocardiography, histological examination, metabolomic and RNA-seq analysis were conducted to evaluate the effects of FMT on PAH phenotypes. Measurements and Main Results: Gut microbiota analysis revealed significant alterations in the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in IPAH patients compared to healthy controls. FMT from IPAH patients induced PAH phenotypes in recipient rats. Conversely, FMT from healthy rats to IPAH rats significantly ameliorated PAH symptoms, restored gut microbiota composition, and normalized serum metabolite profiles. Specific microbial species were identified with high diagnostic potential for IPAH, improving predictive performance beyond individual or combined microbial communities. Conclusions: This study establishes a causal link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and IPAH and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of FMT in reversing PAH phenotypes. The findings highlight the critical role of bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in PAH pathogenesis and suggest that modulation of the gut microbiome could be a promising treatment strategy for PAH.

Project description:Black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFL) from Hermetia illucens is a promising alternative protein source in diets for farmed fish. The larvae can efficiently convert low-value organic material into high quality protein in a production cycle with low arable land and freshwater inputs. A few recent studies have shown that BSFL is a suitable protein source for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in smaller controlled experiments. However, industry-relevant field trials conducted under large scale near-commercial conditions over a longer period are lacking. In this study, a feeding trial was performed to evaluate the impact of BSFL on growth performance and health of Atlantic salmon during the grow out phase in seawater, in a commercial site in Vestland county, Norway. A total of 320,000 post-smolt Atlantic salmon were distributed into six duplicate sea cages and fed one of three diets (commercial-like control diet and two test diets partially replacing the protein content of the control diet with 4 % and 8 % defatted BSFL meal) for 21 weeks, until a relevant commercial slaughter size of 4.5-5.0 kg was reached. Health parameters were assessed including histology of the distal intestine (DI), in addition to DI microbiota identification (by 16s rRNA-seq) and salmon RNA-seq of DI and head kidney (HK). The results showed that the inclusion of BSFL meal supported growth performance and had no adverse effect on gut health. The beta diversity of the distal intestine microbiota and the relative abundance of families Lactobacillaceae and the chitinolytic Bacillaceae increased in the fish fed the BSFL diets. Additionally, no histopathological changes were attributable to BSFL meal intake. Results from RNA-seq in DI revealed that BSFL inclusion modulates metabolic processes associated with lipids, the response to estrogens, the activity of immune receptors (to chemokines), phagocytosis and extracellular vesicles. Based on these results, black soldier fly larvae meal is a suitable alternative protein ingredient in inclusions of up to at least 8 % for Atlantic salmon under industrial fish farming conditions.
