Branchial CO 2 and ammonia excretion in crustaceans: Involvement of an apical Rhesus-like glycoprotein. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2024; 240:e14078.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether the crustacean Rh1 protein functions as a dual CO2 /ammonia transporter and investigate its role in branchial ammonia excretion and acid-base regulation. METHODS Sequence analysis of decapod Rh1 proteins was used to determine the conservation of amino acid residues putatively involved in ammonia transport and CO2 binding in human and bacterial Rh proteins. Using the Carcinus maenas Rh1 protein (CmRh1) as a representative of decapod Rh1 proteins, we test the ammonia and CO2 transport capabilities of CmRh1 through heterologous expression in yeast and Xenopus oocytes coupled with site-directed mutagenesis. Quantitative PCR was used to assess the distribution of CmRh1 mRNA in various tissues. Western blotting was used to assess CmRh1 protein expression changes in response to high environmental ammonia and CO2 . Further, immunohistochemistry was used to assess sub-cellular localization of CmRh1 and a membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (CmCAg). RESULTS Sequence analysis of decapod Rh proteins revealed high conservation of several amino acid residues putatively involved in conducting ammonia transport and CO2 binding. Expression of CmRh1 in Xenopus oocytes enhanced both ammonia and CO2 transport which was nullified in CmRh1 D180N mutant oocytes. Transport of the ammonia analog methylamine by CmRh1 is dependent on both ionized and un-ionized ammonia/methylamine species. CmRh1 was co-localized with CmCAg to the apical membrane of the crustacean gill and only experienced decreased protein expression in the anterior gills when exposed to high environmental ammonia. CONCLUSION CmRh1 is the first identified apical transporter-mediated route for ammonia and CO2 excretion in the crustacean gill. Our findings shed further light on the potential universality of dual ammonia and CO2 transport capacity of Rhesus glycoproteins in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:2020. [PMID: 38136140 PMCID: PMC10740794 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12122020] [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: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Heat stress is an increasingly concerning topic under global warming. Heat stress can induce organisms to produce excess reactive oxygen species, which will lead to cell damage and destroy the antioxidant defense of aquatic animals. Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, is sensitive to the change in water temperature, and parent crabs are more vulnerable during the breeding stage. In the present study, the multi-omics responses of parent E. sinensis gills to heat stress (24 h) were determined via transcriptome and proteome. The integrative analysis revealed that heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and glutathione s-transferase (GST) were significantly up-regulated at gene and protein levels after heat stress, indicating that HSP70 and the antioxidant system participated in the regulatory mechanism of heat stress to resist oxidative damage. Moreover, the "Relaxin signaling pathway" was also activated at gene and protein levels under 30 °C stress, which implied that relaxin may be essential and responsible for reducing the oxidative damage of gills caused by extreme heat stress. These findings provided an understanding of the regulation mechanism in E. sinensis under heat stress at gene and protein levels. The mining of key functional genes, proteins, and pathways can also provide a basis for the cultivation of new varieties resistant to oxidative stress.

Identification of different physiological functions within the gills and epipodites of the American lobster: Differences in metabolism, transbranchial transport, and mRNA expression. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2023; 276:111344. [PMID: 36379379 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2022.111344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Transbranchial transport processes are responsible for the homeostatic regulation of most essential physiological functions in aquatic crustaceans. Due to their widespread use as laboratory models, brachyuran crabs are commonly used to predict how other decapod crustaceans respond to environmental stressors including ocean acidification and warming waters. Non-brachyuran species such as the economically-valuable American lobster, Homarus americanus, possess trichobranchiate gills and epipodites that are known to be anatomically distinct from the phyllobranchiate gills of brachyurans; however, studies have yet to define their potential physiological differences. Our results indicate that the pleuro-, arthro-, and podobranch gills of the lobster are functionally homogenous and similar to the respiratory gills of brachyurans as indicated by equivalent rates of H+Eq., CO2, HCO3-, and ammonia transport and mRNA expression of related transporters and enzymes. The epipodites were found to be functionally distinct, being capable of greater individual rates of H+Eq., CO2, and ammonia transport despite mRNA transcript levels of related transporters and enzymes being only a fraction found in the gills. Collectively, mathematical estimates infer that the gills are responsible for 91% of the lobster's branchial HCO3- accumulation whereas the epipodites are responsible for 66% of branchial ammonia excretion suggesting different mechanisms exist in these tissues. Furthermore, the greater metabolic rate and amino acid catabolism in the epipodites suggest that the tissue much of the CO2 and ammonia excreted by this tissue originates intracellularly rather than systemically. These results provide evidence that non-brachyuran species must be carefully compared to brachyuran models.

Abstract
Spätzle is a crucial ligand for Toll-like receptor (TLR) that triggers the activation of TLR signal pathway in insects. In this study, open reading frames (ORFs) of two spätzles were cloned from Portunus trituberculatus (PtSpz1 and PtSpz2). Both of PtSpzs contained the typical cystine-knot domain of spätzle. Tissue distribution analysis showed that both of PtSpzs were predominantly expressed in the gills. Transcriptional levels of the two PtSpzs in hemocytes and gill rapidly increased at 3 h and 6 h post Vibrio alginolyticus challenge, respectively. The two PtSpzs could bind to several pathogen-associated molecules including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan (PGN) and envelope proteins of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Moreover, the two PtSpzs could directly interact with the extracellular leucine-rich repeats (LRR) domain of TLR. This study revealed that spätzle could interact with pathogen-associated molecules and TLR of host, which may be two important steps for spätzle to deliver signals into host cells.

Effects of single and dual-stressor elevation of environmental temperature and P CO2 on metabolism and acid-base regulation in the Louisiana red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2022; 266:111151.

Abstract
Elevation of temperature and CO2 levels within the world's aquatic environments is expected to cause numerous physiological challenges to their inhabitants. While effects on marine ecosystems have been well studied, freshwater ecosystems have rarely been examined using a dual-stressor approach leaving our understanding of its inhabitants upon these challenges unclear. We aimed to identify the affects of elevated temperature and hypercapnia in isolation and in combination on the metabolic and acid-base regulatory processes of a freshwater crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. Crayfish were exposed to freshwater conditions that may be prevalent by the year 2100 and metabolic responses were determined after 14-days of exposure. In addition, changes in branchial mRNA expression of acid-base linked transporters were investigated. Interactions between exposure conditions influenced extracellular pH as well as the nitrogen physiology and routine metabolic rate of the crayfish. Crayfish exposed to individual and combined elevations in temperature and/or hypercapnia maintained an extracellular pH similar to that of control crayfish. Dual-stressor exposed crayfish seem to elevate the importance of ammonium as an excretable acid-equivalent based on an overall increase in the branchial mRNA expression of transporters related to ammonia excretion including the Na+/K+-ATPase, Rhesus-protein, and the V-type H+-ATPase. Overall, hypercapnia and dual-stressor conditions caused a metabolic depression that may have long-lasting consequences such as limited locomotion, growth, and reproduction. Future generations of crayfish given the chance to adapt over several generations may ameliorate these consequences.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of the gills and hepatopancreas from Macrobrachium rosenbergii exposed to the heavy metal Cadmium (Cd 2+). Sci Rep 2021; 11:16140.

Abstract
Heavy metal Cadmium (Cd2+) pollution has become a severe environmental problem for aquatic organisms. In crustaceans, gills (Gi) and hepatopancreas (Hp) play a vital role in the toxicology. However, in Macrobrachium rosenbergill, there are few researches about gill and hepatopancreases responding to Cd2+ stress at a molecular level. In this study, transcriptomic analysis was applied to characterize gene expression profiles of gills and hepatopancreas of M. rosenbergill after Cd2+ exposure for 0 h, 3 h and 3 d. Six cDNA libraries (Gi 0 h, Gi 3 h, Gi 3 d, Hp 0 h, Hp 3 h, and Hp 3 d) were constructed and a total of 66,676 transcripts and 48,991 unigenes were annotated. Furthermore, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were isolated by comparing the Cd2+ treated time-point libraries (3 h and 3 d group) with the control library (0 h group). The results showed that most of the DEGs were down-regulated after Cd2+ exposure and the number of DEGs among gill groups were significantly higher than those among hepatopancreas groups. GO functional and KEGG pathway analysis suggested many key DEGs in response to the Cd2+ stress, such as metallothionein and Hemocyanin. Additionally, a total of six DEGs were randomly selected to further identify their expressional profile by qPCR. The results indicated that these DEGs were involved in the response to Cd2+. This comparative transcriptome provides valuable molecular information on the mechanisms of responding to Cd2+ stress in M. rosenbergii, which lays the foundation for further understanding of heavy metal stress.

Abstract
Crustaceans inhabiting metal-contaminated freshwaters are susceptible to toxic insult to their osmoregulatory systems. The main osmoregulatory organs of decapod crustaceans, the gills, are continually bathed in freshwater and are therefore at risk from trace metal impacts. The effects of chronic (21 d) exposure to raised dissolved concentrations of Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb on aspects of hydromineral balance were investigated in Potamonautes warreni, a freshwater crab endemic to rivers in South Africa at potential risk from trace metal contamination from mining operations. Generally, hydromineral balance of P. warreni was tolerant to chronic metal exposures although sublethal cadmium exposure of 860 µg.l-1 for 21 days resulted in a reduced sodium concentration in the haemolymph. A chronic exposure to 43 µg.l-1 cadmium produced an elevated maximum unidirectional sodium uptake, possibly resulting from acclimation to the metal exposure. Branchial Na+/K+-ATPase and V-Type H+-ATPase activity were not affected by chronic in vivo Cd (43 µg.l-1) and Zn (500 µg.l-1) exposures. An important aspect of ameliorating metal toxicity may be through antioxidants and therefore the effects of applying a reducing agent were tested following in vitro metal treatment. Inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase could be prevented by pre-incubation with a reducing agent, indicating the importance of antioxidants in reducing metal toxicity in this species. Although this study demonstrates the physiological resilience of P. warreni to dissolved trace metal impacts, the energetic consequences of long-term exposure are as yet not known.

Abstract
Procambarus clarkii is an important model crustacean organism in many researches. Ammonia nitrogen is one of common contaminants in aquatic environment, influencing the health of aquatic organisms. The primary objective of this study was to investigate molecular mechanisms on ammonia stress in gills of P. clarkii to provide new insights into the strategies of aquatic animals in responding to high concentration of ammonia in the environment. Procambarus clarkii were randomly assigned into two groups (ammonia stress group, AG; control group, CG), and gill samples were dependently excised from AG and CG. Then response mechanisms on ammonia stress were investigated based on transcriptome data of P. clarkii. 9237 differentially expressed genes were identified in ammonia stress group. The genes of ion transport enzymes (NKA and SLC6A5S) were significantly up-regulated. Whereas the immune-related genes (e.g. MAP3K7, HSP70, HSP90A, CTSF, CTSL1, CHI and CTL4) and pathways were significantly up-regulated, which played an important role in reacting to ammonia stress. Procambarus clarkii may enhance immune defense to counteract ammonia toxicity by the up-regulation of immune-related genes and signaling pathways. The activities of ion transport enzymes are changed to mobilise signal transduction and ion channel regulation for adapting to ammonia environment. These previous key genes play an important role in resistance to ammonia stress to better prepare for survival in high concentration of ammonia.

Abstract
The study of transbranchial ion and gas transport of water-breathing animals has long been a useful means of modeling transport processes of higher vertebrate organs through comparative physiology. The molecular era of biological research has brought forward valuable information detailing shifts in gene expression related to environmental stress and the sub-cellular localization of transporters; however, purely molecular studies can cause hypothetical transport mechanisms and hypotheses to be accepted without any direct physiological proof. Isolated perfused gill experiments are useful for testing most of these hypotheses and can sometimes be used outright to develop a well-supported working model for transport processes relating to an animal's osmoregulation, acid-base balance, nitrogen excretion, and respiratory gas exchange as well as their sensitivity to pollutants and environmental stress. The technique allows full control of internal hemolymph-like saline as well as the ambient environmental fluid compositions and can measure the electrophysiological properties of the gill as well as the transport rates of ions and gases as they traverse the gill epithelium. Additives such as pharmaceuticals or peptides as well as the exclusion of ions from the media are commonly used to identify the importance of specific transporters to transport mechanisms. The technique can also be used to identify the penetrance, retention, and localization of pollutants within the gill epithelium or to explore the uptake and metabolism of nutrients directly from the ambient environment. While this technique can be applied to virtually any isolatable organ, the anatomy and rigidity of the decapod crustacean gill make it an ideal candidate for most experimental designs.

Abstract
A Dual-Domain Carbonic Anhydrase (DDCA) had been sequenced and characterized from the ctenidia (gills) of the giant clam, Tridacna squamosa, which lives in symbiosis with zooxanthellae. DDCA was expressed predominantly in the ctenidium. The complete cDNA coding sequence of DDCA from T. squamosa comprised 1,803 bp, encoding a protein of 601 amino acids and 66.7 kDa. The deduced DDCA sequence contained two distinct α-CA domains, each with a specific catalytic site. It had a high sequence similarity with tgCA from Tridacna gigas. In T. squamosa, the DDCA was localized apically in certain epithelial cells near the base of the ctenidial filament and the epithelial cells surrounding the tertiary water channels. Due to the presence of two transmembrane regions in the DDCA, one of the Zn2+-containing active sites could be located externally and the other one inside the cell. These results denote that the ctenidial DDCA was positioned to dehydrate [Formula: see text] to CO2 in seawater, and to hydrate the CO2 that had permeated the apical membrane back to [Formula: see text] in the cytoplasm. During insolation, the host clam needs to increase the uptake of inorganic carbon from the ambient seawater to benefit the symbiotic zooxanthellae; only then, can the symbionts conduct photosynthesis and share the photosynthates with the host. Indeed, the transcript and protein levels of DDCA/DDCA in the ctenidium of T. squamosa increased significantly after 6 and 12 h of exposure to light, respectively, denoting that DDCA could participate in the light-enhanced uptake and assimilation of exogenous inorganic carbon.

Abstract
Mineral prospecting in the deep sea is increasing, promoting concern regarding potential ecotoxicological impacts on deep-sea fauna. Technological difficulties in assessing toxicity in deep-sea species has promoted interest in developing shallow-water ecotoxicological proxy species. However, it is unclear how the low temperature and high hydrostatic pressure prevalent in the deep sea affect toxicity, and whether adaptation to deep-sea environmental conditions moderates any effects of these factors. To address these uncertainties we assessed the effects of temperature and hydrostatic pressure on lethal and sublethal (respiration rate, antioxidant enzyme activity) toxicity in acute (96 h) copper and cadmium exposures, using the shallow-water ecophysiological model organism Palaemon varians. Low temperature reduced toxicity in both metals, but reduced cadmium toxicity significantly more. In contrast, elevated hydrostatic pressure increased copper toxicity, but did not affect cadmium toxicity. The synergistic interaction between copper and cadmium was not affected by low temperature, but high hydrostatic pressure significantly enhanced the synergism. Differential environmental effects on toxicity suggest different mechanisms of action for copper and cadmium, and highlight that mechanistic understanding of toxicity is fundamental to predicting environmental effects on toxicity. Although results infer that sensitivity to toxicants differs across biogeographic ranges, shallow-water species may be suitable ecotoxicological proxies for deep-sea species, dependent on adaptation to habitats with similar environmental variability.

Abstract
Anthropogenic sources increase freshwater salinity and produce differences in constituent ions compared with natural waters. Moreover, ions differ in physiological roles and concentrations in intracellular and extracellular fluids. Four freshwater taxa groups are compared, to investigate similarities and differences in ion transport processes and what ion transport mechanisms suggest about the toxicity of these or other ions in freshwater. Although differences exist, many ion transporters are functionally similar and may belong to evolutionarily conserved protein families. For example, the Na+ /H+ -exchanger in teleost fish differs from the H+ /2Na+ (or Ca2+ )-exchanger in crustaceans. In osmoregulation, Na+ and Cl- predominate. Stenohaline freshwater animals hyperregulate until they are no longer able to maintain hypertonic extracellular Na+ and Cl- concentrations with increasing salinity and become isotonic. Toxic effects of K+ are related to ionoregulation and volume regulation. The ionic balance between intracellular and extracellular fluids is maintained by Na+ /K+ -adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), but details are lacking on apical K+ transporters. Elevated H+ affects the maintenance of internal Na+ by Na+ /H+ exchange; elevated HCO3- inhibits Cl- uptake. The uptake of Mg2+ occurs by the gills or intestine, but details are lacking on Mg2+ transporters. In unionid gills, SO42- is actively transported, but most epithelia are generally impermeant to SO42- . Transporters of Ca2+ maintain homeostasis of dissolved Ca2+ . More integration of physiology with toxicology is needed to fully understand freshwater ion effects. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:576-600. Published 2016 Wiley Periodicals Inc. on behalf of SETAC.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have been demonstrated to play an important role in acid-base regulation in vertebrates. However, the classification and modulatory function of CAs in marine invertebrates, especially their responses to ocean acidification remain largely unknown. Here, a cytosolic α-CA (designated as CgCAII-1) was characterized from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas and its molecular activities against CO2 exposure were investigated. CgCAII-1 possessed a conserved CA catalytic domain, with high similarity to invertebrate cytoplasmic or mitochondrial α-CAs. Recombinant CgCAII-1 could convert CO2 to HCO3- with calculated activity as 0.54 × 103 U/mg, which could be inhibited by acetazolamide (AZ). The mRNA transcripts of CgCAII-1 in muscle, mantle, hepatopancreas, gill, and hemocytes increased significantly after exposure to elevated CO2. CgCAII-1 could interact with the hemocyte membrane proteins and the distribution of CgCAII-1 protein became more concentrated and dense in gill and mantle under CO2 exposure. The intracellular pH (pHi) of hemocytes under CO2 exposure increased significantly (p < 0.05) and CA inhibition reduced the pHi value. Besides, there was no increase in CA activity in gill and mantle after CO2 exposure. The impact of CO2 exposure on CA activity coupled with the mRNA expression level and protein translocation of CgCAII-1 provided evidences that CgCAII-1 could respond to ocean acidification and participate in acid-base regulation. Such cytoplasmic CA-based physiological regulation mechanism might explain other physiological responses of marine organisms to OA.

Abstract
The distribution patterns of many species in the intertidal zone are partly determined by their ability to survive and recover from tidal emersion. During emersion, most crustaceans experience gill collapse, impairing gas exchange. Such collapse generates a state of hypoxemia and a hypercapnia-induced respiratory acidosis, leading to hyperlactaemia and metabolic acidosis. However, how such physiological responses to emersion are modified by prior exposure to elevated CO2 and temperature combinations, indicative of future climate change scenarios, is not known. We therefore investigated key physiological responses of velvet swimming crabs, Necora puber, kept for 14 days at one of four pCO2/temperature treatments (400 μatm/10°C, 1000 μatm/10°C, 400 μatm/15°C or 1000 μatm/15°C) to experimental emersion and recovery. Pre-exposure to elevated pCO2 and temperature increased pre-emersion bicarbonate ion concentrations [HCO3(-)], increasing resistance to short periods of emersion (90 min). However, there was still a significant acidosis following 180 min emersion in all treatments. The recovery of extracellular acid-base via the removal of extracellular pCO2 and lactate after emersion was significantly retarded by exposure to both elevated temperature and pCO2. If elevated environmental pCO2 and temperature lead to slower recovery after emersion, then some predominantly subtidal species that also inhabit the low to mid shore, such as N. puber, may have a reduced physiological capacity to retain their presence in the low intertidal zone, ultimately affecting their bathymetric range of distribution, as well as the structure and diversity of intertidal assemblages.

Abstract
The excretory transport of toxic ammonia across epithelia is not fully understood. This review presents data combined with models of ammonia excretion derived from studies on decapod crabs, with a view to providing new impetus to investigation of this essential issue. The majority of crabs preserve ammonotely regardless of their habitat, which varies from extreme hypersaline to freshwater aquatic environments, and ranges from transient air exposure to obligate air breathing. Important components in the excretory process are the Na+/K+(NH4+)-ATPase and other membrane-bound transport proteins identified in many species, an exocytotic ammonia excretion mechanism thought to function in gills of aquatic crabs such as Carcinus maenas, and gaseous ammonia release found in terrestrial crabs, such as Geograpsus grayi and Ocypode quadrata. In addition, this review presents evidence for a crustacean Rhesus-like protein that shows high homology to the human Rhesus-like ammonia transporter both in its amino acid sequence and in its predicted secondary structure.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) has been purified from the host tissue of Tridacna gigas, a clam that lives in symbiosis with the dinoflagellate alga, Symbiodinium. At least two isoforms of CA were identified in both gill and mantle tissue. The larger (70 kDa) isoform is a glycoprotein with both N- and O-glycans attached and has highest homology to CAII. It is associated with the membrane fraction while the smaller (32 kDa) is present in the aqueous phase in both tissues. The 32 kDa CA has high homology with mammalian CAI at the N-terminus. Both isoforms cross-reacted with antibodies to CAII from chicken. Immunohistology demonstrated that the 70 kDa CA is present within the ciliated branchial filaments and cells lining the tertiary water channels in the gills of T. gigas. This is consistent with a role in the transport of inorganic carbon (Ci) to the haemolymph and therefore supply of Ci to the zooxanthellae. CA was also detected in mantle epithelial cells where it may also contribute to Ci supply to the zooxanthellae. The hyaline body and nerve tissue in the mantle express the 70 kDa CA where it may be involved in light sensing and nervous transmission.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase was purified from the gills (CAB) of the rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri and from erythrocytes (CAE) of the fresh water carp Cyprinus carpio. The purification of the isozymes was confirmed by SDS acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Antibodies against the purified CAB and CAE were then raised in rabbits. Specificity was verified by immunoblotting. No cross-reaction was found between them, using the immunodot technique. CAB antiserum was used to specifically localize gill CA in the trout. Immunoperoxidase labelling revealed a concentration of enzyme on the apical region of the outer layer of the gill epithelial cells. The inner layer of the epithelium was only weakly positive. Results obtained using the immuno-gold technique confirmed the immunoperoxidase labelling: there was a concentration of label in the apical regions of chloride cells. In mucous cells, only the mucous granules were labelled. In the lamellae, the label was distributed in the apical part of the pavement cells. The villi and microplicae were strongly positive. CAE antiserum stained the red blood cells. The discrepancy between histochemical localization in the gill or in the opercular skin of killifish and our present immunolocalization was discussed. It was concluded that the most typical localization of CA is on the apical surface of the lamellar epithelium lying in contact with the environment. The result suggests that one of the main roles of gill CA may be to facilitate the diffusion of CO2 from blood to water.

Abstract
1. The flux of inorganic carbon (Ci) is an important biological process. 2. CO2 crosses membranes through passive diffusion and, perhaps active transport while HCO3- crosses membranes via facilitated diffusion and active transport mechanisms. 3. Carbonic anhydrase is ubiquitous and enhances the flux of Ci. 4. Generally, Ci crosses membranes through passive and facilitated diffusion when the flux of Ci, per se, is important and crosses membranes via active transport when cells are regulating their intracellular pH and/or ion levels.
