RESUMEN

The Siberian frog Rana amurensis has a uniquely high tolerance to hypoxia among amphibians, as it is able to withstand several months underwater with almost no oxygen (0.2 mg/liter) vs. several days for other studied species. Since it was hypothesized that hypoxia actives the antioxidant defense system in hypoxia-tolerant animals, one would expect similar response in R. amurensis. Here, we studied the effect of hypoxia in the Siberian frog based on the transcriptomic data, activities of antioxidant enzyme, and content of low-molecular-weight antioxidants. Exposure to hypoxia upregulated expression of three relevant transcripts (catalase in the brain and two aldo-keto reductases in the liver). The activities of peroxidase in the blood and catalase in the liver were significantly increased, while the activity of glutathione S-transferase in the liver was reduced. The content of low-molecular-weight antioxidants (thiols and ascorbate) in the heart and liver was unaffected. In general, only a few components of the antioxidant defense system were affected by hypoxia, while most remained unchanged. Comparison to other hypoxia-tolerant species suggests species-specific adaptations to hypoxia-related ROS stress.
