ABSTRACT
Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) is an economically important marine fish in China. However, vibriosis has caused huge mortality and economic losses in its culturing industry. To reveal the effect of DNA methylation on the resistance to vibriosis in tongue sole, we conducted RNA sequencing and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), and compared the gene expressions and DNA methylation patterns between the resistant and susceptible families. We identified a total of 741 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in kidney and 17460 differentially methylated genes (DMGs), which were both enriched in immune-related pathways, such as "cAMP signaling pathway" and "NOD-like receptor signaling pathway". Through the correlation analysis of DEGs and DMGs, we identified two important immune pathways, including "complement and coagulation cascades", and "cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction", which played important roles in regulating the inflammation level and immune homeostasis. For example, the expression of proinflammatory cytokine il17c was down-regulated under the regulation of DNA methylation; in addition, the expression of protease-activated receptor 3 (par3) was up-regulated, which could induce the up-expressionof il8. These results demonstrated that the regulation of DNA methylation on the genes involved in immune responses might contribute to the resistance to vibriosis in tongue sole, and provided a basis for the control of diseases in fish aquaculture.
