Li M, Du J, Li S, Zhu T, Lei C, Yan H, Song H. Screening and Identification of the Biomarkers Applied for the Evaluation of Acute and Chronic Thermal Tolerance Ability in Largemouth Bass ( Micropterus salmoides). Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:1435. [PMID: 38791653 PMCID: PMC11117296 DOI: 10.3390/ani14101435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Affected by the continuously rising temperature, thermal stress leads to a delinked growth rate and resistance to stress in cultured largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, LMB) in China. Identification of LMB with better thermal resistance will benefit the breeding of new varieties. However, there has been limited reporting on the evaluation to identify LMB with better thermal resistance. LMB consists of the northern LMB (Micropterus salmoides salmoides, NLMB) and the Florida LMB (Micropterus salmoides floridanus, FLMB). Due to their different geographical distributions, it has been suggested that FLMB exhibit better thermal resistance compared to NLMB. In this study, NLMB and FLMB were subjected to thermal stress for 3 h (acute) and 60 d (chronic) at 33 °C, respectively. Subsequently, the variations of 12 candidate biomarkers between NLMB and FLMB were analyzed. Exposure to acute thermal stress significantly increased plasma cortisol, blood glucose, and lactate levels; activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), glucose kinase (GK), pyruvate kinase (PK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and glucose 6 phosphatase (G6Pase); and the expressions of hsp70 and hsp90 in both NLMB and FLMB (p < 0.05). Compared to NLMB, FLMB exhibited a lower plasma cortisol level and a higher expression of hsp90 under acute thermal stress (p < 0.05). Exposure to chronic thermal stress significantly increased plasma cortisol and blood glucose levels, as well as activities of GK, PK, LDH, and G6Pase, as well as expressions of hsp70 and hsp90 in both NLMB and FLMB (p < 0.05). Additionally, FLMB showed a lower expression of hsp70 compared to NLMB (p < 0.05). In conclusion, our results showed that LMB with lower plasma cortisol level and higher expression of hsp90 under acute thermal stress, as well as lower expression of hsp70 under chronic thermal stress were suggested to have better thermal resistance. Our study provides valuable information for identifying and breeding LMB varieties with better thermal resistance in the future.

Abstract
There is clear evidence that the oceans are warming due to anthropogenic climate change, and the northeastern coast of USA contains some of the fastest warming areas. This warming is projected to continue with serious biological and social ramifications for fisheries and aquaculture. One species particularly vulnerable to warming is the Atlantic surfclam (Spisula solidissima). The surfclam is a critically important species, linking marine food webs and supporting a productive, lucrative, and sustainable fishery. The surfclam is also emerging as an attractive candidate for aquaculture diversification, but the warming of shallow coastal farms threatens the expansion of surfclam aquaculture. Little is known about the adaptive potential of surfclams to cope with ocean warming. In this study, the surfclam transcriptome under heat stress was examined. Two groups of surfclams were subjected to heat stress to assess how artificial selection may alter gene expression. One group of clams had been selected for greater heat tolerance (HS) and the other was composed of random control clams (RC). After a 6-h exposure to 16 or 29 °C, gill transcriptome expression profiles of the four temperature/group combinations were determined by RNA sequencing and compared. When surfclams experienced heat stress, they exhibited upregulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs), inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs), and other stress-response related genes. RC clams differentially expressed 1.7 times more genes than HS clams, yet HS clams had a stronger response of key stress response genes, including HSPs, IAPs, and genes involved with mitigating oxidative stress. The findings imply that the HS clams have a more effective response to heat stress after undergoing the initial selection event due to genetic differences created by the selection, epigenetic memory of the first heat shock, or both. This work provides insights into how surfclams adapt to heat stress and should inform future breeding programs that attempt to breed surfclam for greater heat tolerance, and ultimately bring greater resiliency to shellfish farms.

Abstract
Rising occurrence of extreme warming events are profoundly impacting ecosystems, altering their functioning and services with significant socio-economic consequences. Particularly susceptible to heatwaves are intertidal shellfish beds, located in estuarine areas already stressed by factors such as rainfall events, red tides, eutrophication, and pollution. In Galicia, Northwestern Spain, these beds support vital shellfisheries, featuring the native clam Ruditapes decussatus and the non-indigenous R. philippinarum. Over recent decades, these populations have experienced notable abundance shifts due to various anthropogenic impacts, including climate change. In this habitat, patches of the seagrass Zostera noltei that coexist with bare sand can act as thermal refuges for benthic organisms such as clams. To assess the impact of heatwaves on these ecosystems, a mesocosm experiment was conducted. Juveniles of both clam species in two habitat types-bare sand and sand with Z. noltei-were exposed to simulated atmospheric heatwaves during diurnal low tide for four consecutive days. Subsequent transcriptomic analysis revealed that high temperatures had a more pronounced impact on the transcriptome of R. philippinarum compared to R. decussatus. The habitat type played a crucial role in mitigating heat stress in R. philippinarum, with the presence of Z. noltei notably ameliorating the transcriptomic response. These findings have direct applications in shellfishery management, emphasizing the importance of preserving undisturbed patches of Z. noltei as thermal refuges, contributing to the mitigation of heatwave effects on shellfish populations.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 857:159430.

Abstract
The temperature has always been a key environmental factor in Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) culture. In this study, the Manila clam was treated to different temperature pre-heat (28 °C, 30 °C) and gained heat tolerance after recover of 12 h, and a survival rate (14.7 %-49.1 %) advantage after high temperature challenge (30 and 32 °C). To further investigate the physiological and metabolism changes in Manila clam that had experienced a heat stress, non-targeted metabolomics (LC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the metabolic responses of gills in three group Manila clams during the heat challenge. Metabolic profiles revealed that high temperature caused changes in fatty acid composition, energy metabolism, antioxidant metabolites, hydroxyl compounds, and amino acids in heat-hardened clams compared to non-hardened clams. We found a number of significantly enriched pathways, including cAMP signaling pathway, serotonergic synapse, and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in heat-hardened Manila clam compared with non-hardened and untreated Manila clam. After a brief high temperature treatment, the physiological maintenance ability of Manila clam was improved. Combined with metabolomics analysis, heat hardening treatment may improve the energy metabolism and antioxidant ability of Manila clam. These results provide new insights into the cellular and metabolic responses of Manila clams following high temperature stress.

Abstract
Heatwaves are becoming hotter, longer and more frequent, threatening the survival of intertidal bivalves and devastating their ecosystems. Yet, substantially overlooked are heatwave-induced post-responses, which are important to assess cascading consequences. Here, we investigated responses of intertidal bivalves, Ruditapes philippinarum, to recurrent heatwaves. Physiological and gene expression analyses demonstrated that the mantle tissue of R. philippinarum did not sensitively respond to heatwaves, but revealed post-responses under recovery scenarios. Of 20 genes related to essential physiology and fitness, 18 were down-regulated during the 1st recovery period, but following repeated exposure, 13 genes were up-regulated, in line with significantly increased activities of energy-metabolizing enzymes, and antioxidant and nonspecific enzymes. The down-regulation of genes involved in biomineralization, nevertheless, was observed under recovery scenarios, implying the trade-off between essential physiological and fitness-related functions. These findings pave the way for understanding the physiological plasticity of marine bivalves in response to intensifying heatwaves.

Abstract
E3 ubiquitin ligase (E3s) plays an important role in ubiquitin proteasome pathway, proteins containing homologous E6-AP carboxyl terminus (HECT) domains. However, the role of HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase in mollusk was rarely explored. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of the HECT domain-containing gene in Ruditapes philippinarum to identify and predict the structural and functional characterization of HECT genes in response to abiotic and biotic stress. A total of sixteen members of HECT gene family were identified and analyzed for the gene structure, phylogenetic relation, three-dimensional structure, protein interaction network, and expression patterns. Experimental results demonstrated that Rph.HUWE1, Rph.HECTD1, Rph.Ubr5 were significantly up-regulated in response to heat stress and bacterial challenge. Taken together, our data provide insights into the potential function of HECT E3 ligase in heat stress and Vibrio anguillarum infection.

Abstract
Constant evolution of omics-technologies has provided access to identification of various important gene families. Recently, genome assemblies on widely used ecotoxicological model species, including rotifers and copepods have been completed and representative detoxification-related gene families have been discovered for biomarker genes. However, despite ubiquitous presence of stress-response proteins, limited information on full genome-wide report on heat shock proteins (Hsps) is available. Various studies have demonstrated multiple cellular functions of Hsps in living organisms as an important biomarker in response to abiotic and biotic stressors, however, full genome-wide identification of Hsps, particularly in aquatic invertebrates, has not been reported. This is the first study to report the entire Hsps and basal gene expression levels in three regional-specific copepods: Tigriopus japonicus and kingsejongensis, Paracyclopina nana, and Eurytemora affnis, and how each Hsp family gene is regulated at a basal level.

Abstract
The Kerguelen Islands (49°26'S, 69°50'E) represent a unique environment due to their geographical isolation, which protects them from anthropogenic pollution. The ability of the endemic mussel, part of the Mytilus complex, to cope with moderate heat stress was explored using omic tools. Transcripts involved in six major metabolic functions were selected and the qRT-PCR data indicated mainly changes in aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism and stress response. Proteomic comparisons revealed a typical stress response pattern with cytoskeleton modifications and elements suggesting increased energy metabolism. Results also suggest conservation of protein homeostasis by the long-lasting presence of HSP while a general decrease in transcription is observed. The overall findings are consistent with an adaptive response to moderate stresses in mussels in good physiological condition, i.e. living in a low-impact site, and with the literature concerning this model species. Therefore, local blue mussels could be advantageously integrated into biomonitoring strategies, especially in the context of Global Change.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is a well-recognized multifunctional protein, playing a substantial role in protecting organisms from environmental stress. The domestic pigeon (Columba livia) is a promising model organism, with important economic and ecological value, and its health is susceptible to temperature stress. To explore the molecular characteristics, tissue expression profile, and response to temperature stress for HSP60 of Columba livia (ClHSP60), we firstly cloned and characterized the complete cDNA sequence and investigated its expression profile under optimal conditions and acute temperature stress. The cDNA of ClHSP60 contained 2257 nucleotides, consisting of 12 exons with length ranging from 65 to 590 bp. The open reading frame (ORF) encoded 573 amino acids with calculated molecular weight of 60.97 kDa that contained a number of structurally prominent domains or motifs. Under optimal temperature conditions, levels of ClHSP60 expression differed between all the tested tissues (the highest was noted in liver and the lowest in pectoralis major muscle). Under acute temperature stress, five patterns of change were detected in the tested tissues, suggesting that different tissues in domestic pigeons differentially responded to various temperature stress conditions. Upregulation of ClHSP60 expression was highest in the lung and pectoralis major muscle, reflecting the crucial role of these two tissues in temperature regulation. However, the crop, cerebrum, and heart showed little change or decreased ClHSP60 expression. The results indicate that ClHSP60 may be sensitive to and play pivotal roles in responding to acute temperature stress.

Abstract
Simple Summary Oysters and clams form an important component of the food chain and food security and are of considerable commercial value worldwide. They are affected by pollution and climate change, as well as a range of infections, some of which are opportunistic. For aquaculture purposes they are furthermore of great commercial value and changes in their immune responses can also serve as indicators of changes in ocean environments. Therefore, studies into understanding new factors in their immune systems may aid new biomarker discovery and are of considerable value. This study assessed new biomarkers relating to changes in protein function in four economically important marine molluscs, the blue mussel, soft shell clam, Eastern oyster, and Atlantic jacknife clam. These findings indicate novel regulatory mechanisms of important metabolic and immunology related pathways in these mollusks. The findings provide new understanding to how these pathways function in diverse ways in different animal species as well as aiding new biomarker discovery for Mollusca aquaculture. Abstract Oysters and clams are important for food security and of commercial value worldwide. They are affected by anthropogenic changes and opportunistic pathogens and can be indicators of changes in ocean environments. Therefore, studies into biomarker discovery are of considerable value. This study aimed at assessing extracellular vesicle (EV) signatures and post-translational protein deimination profiles of hemolymph from four commercially valuable Mollusca species, the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), soft shell clam (Mya arenaria), Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and Atlantic jacknife clam (Ensis leei). EVs form part of cellular communication by transporting protein and genetic cargo and play roles in immunity and host–pathogen interactions. Protein deimination is a post-translational modification caused by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), and can facilitate protein moonlighting in health and disease. The current study identified hemolymph-EV profiles in the four Mollusca species, revealing some species differences. Deiminated protein candidates differed in hemolymph between the species, with some common targets between all four species (e.g., histone H3 and H4, actin, and GAPDH), while other hits were species-specific; in blue mussel these included heavy metal binding protein, heat shock proteins 60 and 90, 2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolyase, GTP cyclohydrolase feedback regulatory protein, sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase, and fibrinogen domain containing protein. In soft shell clam specific deimination hits included dynein, MCM3-associated protein, and SCRN. In Eastern oyster specific deimination hits included muscle LIM protein, beta-1,3-glucan-binding protein, myosin heavy chain, thaumatin-like protein, vWFA domain-containing protein, BTB domain-containing protein, amylase, and beta-catenin. Deiminated proteins specific to Atlantic jackknife clam included nacre c1q domain-containing protein and PDZ domain-containing protein In addition, some proteins were common as deiminated targets between two or three of the Bivalvia species under study (e.g., EP protein, C1q domain containing protein, histone H2B, tubulin, elongation factor 1-alpha, dominin, extracellular superoxide dismutase). Protein interaction network analysis for the deiminated protein hits revealed major pathways relevant for immunity and metabolism, providing novel insights into post-translational regulation via deimination. The study contributes to EV characterization in diverse taxa and understanding of roles for PAD-mediated regulation of immune and metabolic pathways throughout phylogeny.

Abstract
Endosulfan is a persistent pesticide that has been in use for more than five decades. During this time, it has contaminated soil, air, and water reservoirs worldwide. It is extremely toxic and harmful to beneficial non-target invertebrates, aquatic life, and even humans upon consumption, which is one of the many dangers of this pesticide since it biomagnifies in the food chain. The effects of three endosulfan concentrations (1, 10, and 100 µg/L) on the freshwater snail Physella acuta, an invasive cosmopolitan species, were examined over a week-long exposure period. Alterations in the expression of ten genes related to stress and xenobiotic detoxification were measured against the endogenous controls rpL10 and GAPDH by Real-Time polymerase chain reaction. Four genes are described here for the first time in this species, namely Hsp60, Grp78, GSTk1, and GSTm1. The rest of genes were Hsp90, sHsp16.6, cyp2u1, cyp3a7, cyp4f22, and MRP1. cyp2u1, sHsp16.6, and Grp78 expression were all altered by endosulfan. These results suggest a low pesticide concentration activates the acute response in P. acuta by affecting detoxification and stress responses and alter endoplasmic reticulum function and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, the newly identified genes extend the number of processes and cellular locations that can be analyzed in this organism.
