RESUMO

Pompano fishes have been widely farmed worldwide. As a representative commercial marine species of the Carangidae family, the golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii) has gained significant popularity in China and worldwide. However, because of rapid growth and high-density aquaculture, the golden pompano has become seriously threatened by various diseases. Cell lines are the most cost-effective resource for in vitro studies and are widely used for physiological and pathological research owing to their accessibility and convenience. In this study, we established a novel immortal cell line, GPF (Golden pompano fin cells). GPF has been passaged over 69 generations for 10 months. The morphology, adhesion and extension processes of GPF were evaluated using light and electron microscopy. GPF cells were passaged every 3 days with L-15 containing 20 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 1:3. The optimum conditions for GPF growth were 28 °C and a 20 % FBS concentration. DNA sequencing of 18S rRNA and mitochondrial 16S rRNA confirmed that GPF was derived from the golden pompano. Chromosomal analysis revealed that the number pattern of GPF was 48 chromosomes. Transfection experiments demonstrated that GPF could be utilized to express foreign genes. Furthermore, heavy metals (Cd, Cu, and Fe) exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity against GPF. After polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) treatment, transcription of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptor (RLR) pathway genes, including mda5, mita, tbk1, irf3, and irf7 increased, inducing the expression of interferon (IFN) and anti-viral proteins in GPF cells. In addition, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation up-regulated the expression of inflammation-related factors, including myd88, irak1, nfκb, il1ß, il6, and cxcl10 expression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the immune response signaling pathways of the golden pompano using an established fin cell line. In this study, we describe a preliminary investigation of the GPF cell line immune response to poly I:C and LPS, and provide a more rapid and efficient experimental material for research on marine fish immunology.

RESUMO

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential for teleosts, and fluctuating environmental factors can result in hypoxic stress in the golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii). However, it is unknown whether different recovery speeds of DO concentration after hypoxia induce stress in T. blochii. In this study, T. blochii was subjected to hypoxic conditions (1.9 ± 0.2 mg/L) for 12 h followed by 12 h of reoxygenation at two different speeds (30 mg/L per hour and 1.7 mg/L per hour increasing). The gradual reoxygenation group (GRG), experienced DO recovery (1.9 ± 0.2 to 6.8 ± 0.2 mg/L) within 3 h, and the rapid reoxygenation group (RRG), experienced DO recovery (1.9 ± 0.2 to 6.8 ± 0.2 mg/L) within 10 min. Physiological and biochemical parameters of metabolism (glucose, glycegon, lactic acid (LD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), pyruvic acid (PA), phosphofructokinase (PFKA), and hexokinase (HK), triglyceride (TG), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1)) and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq of liver) were monitored to identify the effects of the two reoxygenation speeds. Increased LD content and increased activity of LDH, PA, PFKA, and HK suggested enhanced anaerobic glycolysis under hypoxic stress. LD and LDH levels remained significantly elevated during reoxygenation, indicating that the effects of hypoxia were not immediately alleviated during reoxygenation. The expressions of PGM2, PFKA, GAPDH, and PK were increased in the RRG, which suggests that glycolysis was enhanced. The same pattern was not observed in the GRG. Additionally, In the RRG, reoxygenation may promote glycolysis to guarantee energy supply. However, the GRG may through the lipid metabolism such as steroid biosynthesis at the later stage of reoxygenation. In the aspect of apoptosis, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the RRG were enriched in the p53 signaling pathway, which promoted cell apoptosis, while DEGs in the GRG seem to activate cell apoptosis at early stage of reoxygenation but was restrained latterly. DEGs in both the RRG and the GRG were enriched in the NF-kappa B and JAK-STAT signaling pathways, the RRG may induce cell survival by regulating the expression of IL-12B, COX2, and Bcl-XL, while in the GRG it may induce by regulating the expression of IL-8. Moreover, DEGs in the RRG were also enriched in the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. This research revealed that at different velocity of reoxygenation after hypoxic stress, T. blochii would represent different metabolic, apoptotic and immune strategies, and this conclusion would provide new insight into the response to hypoxia and reoxygenation in teleosts.

RESUMO

The golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii), a pivotal commercial marine species in China, has gained significant popularity worldwide. However, accompanied with rapid growth and high density aquaculture, golden pompano has been seriously threatened by Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), while its molecular biology research regarding the innate immune system remains unexplored, which is crucial for understanding the activation of interferon (IFN) production and antiviral responses. In this study, we aimed to identify the characterization and function of golden pompano TANK-binding kinase 1 (gpTBK1), thereby providing evidence of the conservation of this classical factor in the RLR pathway among marine fish. Initially, we found the expression of gpTBK1 upregulation in diseased golden pompano with NNV infection and we successfully cloned the full-length open reading frame (ORF) of gpTBK1, consisting of 2172 nucleotides encoding 723 amino acids, from the head kidney. Subsequent analysis of the amino acid sequence revealed homology between gpTBK1 and other fish TBK1 proteins, with conserved N-terminal Serine/Threonine protein kinases catalytic domain (S_TKc) and C-terminal coiled coil domain (CCD). Moreover, the expression pattern showed that gpTBK1 exhibited ubiquitous expression across all evaluated tissues. Furthermore, functional identification experiments indicated that gpTBK1 activated interferon promoters' activity in golden pompano and induced the expression of downstream IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Notably, gpTBK1 was found to co-localize and interact with gpIRF3 in the cytoplasm. Collectively, these data provide a comprehensive analysis of the characterization and functional role of gpTBK1 in promoting interferon production. This research may facilitate the further study of the innate antiviral response, particularly the anti-NNV mechanisms, in golden pompano.

RESUMO

Globally, microplastics (MPs) are highly prevalent, especially in coastal areas. Unfortunately, golden pompano as a major marine fish in China is typically raised in floating marine cages near coasts, facing these MPs sources. However, toxicological studies on Golden Pompano which farm in coastal areas and face actual microplastic exposure are rare. Therefore, golden pompano were exposed to 10.0 µg/L, 100.0 µg/L, and 1000.0 µg/L polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs) for 14 days to study the potential impact of the microplastics on the Golden Pompano. Fish show slowed growth after 14 days of exposure. Histopathology shows irregular shaped nuclei and nuclear and cytoplasmic vacuolation traits in liver. Oxidative stress-related enzyme activity and gene expression data show that oxidative damage occurs in the high-concentrations (100.0 µg/L and 1000.0 µg/L) of PS-MPs exposures. Up-regulation of Grp78, Xbp-1, Eif-2α and chop gene expression indicates the occurrence of endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the western blot results also confirmed this. Severe oxidative stress also caused ERS, which ultimately increased BAX/Bcl-2 ratios and induces apoptosis. Furthermore, up-regulated anaerobic respiration, altered lipid metabolism, and immune disturbance were exhibited during PS-MPs stress. Therefore, oxidative stress appeared to be the main toxicity issue caused by MPs, while ERS-mediated apoptosis, metabolic alterations, and immune responses were induced by this stress. Notably, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis are a self-protective mechanism, which may be an intermediate link in the toxicity of microplastics. This study highlights the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in MPs toxicology and assesses the adverse effects of microplastics on Golden Pompano.

RESUMO

Numerous studies have demonstrated that Cryptocaryon irritans can efficiently propagate in golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii), especially under intensive high-density culture, which can lead to large-scale infection, bacterial invasion, and major economic losses. By contrast, Siganus oramin is less susceptible to C. irritans infection. Here, we artificially infected S. oramin and T. blochii with C. irritans. We then used RNA-seq to characterize the expression of genes in the gills of S. oramin and T. blochii at different times after infection, conducted bioinformatics analysis of relevant pathways, and compared the differentially expressed genes in the two species. The aim of this study was to enhance our understanding of host-parasite interactions to aid the development of effective prevention and treatment strategies for C. irritans. Infection with C. irritans induced the differential expression of a large number of genes in the gills of S. oramin, indicating that S. oramin may respond to C. irritans infection by modifying the expression of genes at the transcriptional level. Our research showed that the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Antigen processing and presentation, Complement and coagulation cascades, and Cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway are involved in the immune response of S. oramin and T. blochii to C. irritans infection. However, T. blochii has a weak ability to mobilize neutrophils to participate in defense against C. irritans infection and differs from S. oramin in its ability to induce specific immune responses. Because of gill tissue damage during infection, dissolved oxygen intake is reduced, which increases physiological and metabolic stress. The metabolic pathways of S. oramin and T. blochii significantly differed; specifically, the main pathways in S. oramin were related to glucose and lipid metabolism, and the main pathways in T. blochii were related to amino acid metabolism. This may reduce the efficiency of ATP biosynthesis in T. blochii and result in dysfunctional energy metabolism. Therefore, differential immune and metabolic responses underlie differences in the resistance of S. oramin and T. blochii to C. irritans.

RESUMO

Red tilapia has become more popular for aquaculture production in China in recent years. However, the pigmentation differentiation that has resulted from the process of genetic breeding and skin color variation during the overwintering period are the main problems limiting the development of commercial culture. The genetic basis of skin color differentiation is still not understood. Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (slc7a11) has been identified to be a critical genetic regulator of pheomelanin synthesis in the skin of mammals. However, little information is available about its molecular characteristics, expression, location and function in skin color differentiation of fish. In this study, three complete cDNA sequences (2159 bp, 2190 bp and 2249 bp) of slc7a11 were successfully isolated from Malaysian red tilapia, encoding polypeptides of 492, 525 and 492 amino acids respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that slc7a11 mRNA expression is high in the ventral skin of PR (pink with scattered red spots) fish. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that xCT (the protein encoded by slc7a11) was concentrated mainly in the cytoplasm and nucleus of both the dorsal and ventral skin cells of fish. After RNA interference of slc7a11, slc7a11 and cbs mRNA expressions decreased, but the tyr mRNA expression increased in the skin of fish. Results suggest that slc7a11 plays an important role in skin color formation and differentiation of red tilapia through the melanogenesis pathway.

RESUMO

Chronic hypoxia can affect the growth and metabolism of fish and potentially impact gonadal development through epigenetic regulation. Trachinotus blochii (Golden pompano) is widely cultured near the coast and is sensitive to low oxygen conditions. We found that hypoxia and reoxygenation processes acted on multiple targets on the HPG axis, leading to endocrine disorders. Changes in the expression of key genes in the brain (gnrh), pituitary (fsh and lh), ovaries (cyp19a1a, foxl2, and er), and testes (dmrt1, ar, sox9, and gsdf) were associated with significant decreases in estrogen and testosterone levels. Hypoxia and reoxygenation lead to changes in DNA methylation levels in the gonads. Hypoxia upregulated the expression of dnmt1, dnmt3a, dnmt3b, tet1, and tet2 in females and dnmt3a and dnmt3b in males, while reoxygenation down-regulated the expression of dnmt1, dnmt3a, dnmt3b, tet1, and tet2 in males. Whole genome methylation sequencing showed that the number of differentially methylated regions was highest on chromosome 10 (5192) and lowest on chromosome 24 (275). Differentially methylated genes in females and males, as well as between males and females, were enriched in the oxytocin signaling pathway, fatty acid metabolism pathway, and HIF-1a pathway. In summary, hypoxia and reoxygenation can induce endocrine disorders, affect the expression of HPG axis genes, change the methylation pattern and modification pattern of gonad DNA, and then have potential effects on gonad development.

RESUMO

Microplastics are difficult to degrade and widespread environmental pollutants. Coastal areas are hardest hit of microplastic pollution as they receive significant amounts of microplastics discharged from inland sources. Golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii) is a high commercial valuable marine aquaculture fish species, most of the golden pompano are raised in coastal areas, which means they are at significant risk of exposure to microplastics. Therefore, we exposed golden pompano to 10 µg/L, 100 µg/L and 1000 µg/L of 5 µm spherical polystyrene microplastics and conducted a 14-day stress experiment. Histopathology results showed the intestinal villi shrank. The 16s sequencing analysis revealed that microplastics significantly impacted the abundance and community structure of intestinal microorganisms, which may affect the metabolic function of the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolomics sequencing of the intestinal contents showed that microplastics caused disruptions in lipid, glucose, and amino acid metabolism, thus compromising the normal digestion and absorption functions in the intestinal system. In addition, the activation of various pathways, including the intestinal endocrine system, proline metabolism, and signal transduction, which can lead to the occurrence of several diseases. This study combined various methods to investigate the adverse effects of microplastics on intestinal digestion and absorption, and provided new insights into the toxic mechanisms of microplastics.
