ABSTRACT
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are RNA molecules that do not code for proteins and have a length exceeding 200 base pairs, have been found to play a crucial role in regulating intestinal immunity. The high mortality of various fish species induced by high temperatures is known to be associated with enteritis. Our investigation demonstrated that acute heat stress was responsible for inducing fish enteritis. However, the specific lncRNAs involved this process remains unknown. In this current study, we utilized intestinal sequencing data from the largemouth bass species Micropterus salmoides under acute heat stress, resulting in a total of 347,351,492 clean reads obtained from six cDNA libraries. A total of 3399 novel lncRNA transcripts originating from 2488 distinct lncRNA genes were successfully identified. Consistent with previous findings in other fish species, these lncRNAs demonstrated comparatively shorter transcript lengths when compared to protein-coding genes. Furthermore, a total of 216 novel lncRNA exhibited differential expression (DE) in the intestine of largemouth bass, meeting the criteria of absolute log2 fold change exceeding 2 and a p-value below 0.05. Additionally, these DE-lncRNAs were found to regulate 210 neighboring genes in a cis-regulatory manner. An examination of GO/KEGG enrichment revealed a notable enrichment of immune regulation (p < 0.05) among these cis-genes, with lncRNA MSTRG.8573.1 playing a significant role in regulating the jak-stat signaling pathway during this process. This study presents a comprehensive inventory of novel DE-lncRNA implicated in the development of enteritis in largemouth bass under acute heat stress. These findings offer valuable insights for future investigations on the regulation of lncRNAs to mitigate heat stress-induced fish enteritis.
