Abstract
BACKGROUND Sturgeon species are living fossils that exhibit unique reproductive characteristics, and elucidation of the molecular processes governing the formation and quality of sturgeon eggs is crucial. However, comprehensive data on the protein composition of sturgeon ovarian fluid (OF) and eggs and their functional significance are lacking. To address this knowledge gap, the aim of the present study was to conduct a comprehensive comparative proteomic analysis of Siberian sturgeon OF and eggs using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). RESULTS A total of 617 proteins were identified in OF, and 565 proteins were identified in eggs. A total of 772 proteins showed differential abundance. Among the differentially abundant proteins, 365 were more abundant in OFs, while 407 were more abundant in eggs. We identified 339 proteins unique to OFs and 287 proteins specific to eggs, and further investigated the top 10 most abundant proteins in each. The functional annotation of the OF proteins highlighted their predominant association with immune system processes, including the complement and coagulation cascade, neutrophil and leukocyte-mediated immunity, cholesterol metabolism, and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Analysis of egg proteins revealed enrichment in metabolic pathways, such as oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid metabolism, and protein ubiquitination and translation. OF-specific proteins included extracellular matrix and secretory vesicles, and eggs were enriched in proteins localized to mitochondria and ribosome components. CONCLUSIONS This study presents the first comprehensive characterization of the protein composition of sturgeon OF and eggs and elucidates their distinct functional roles. These findings advance our understanding of sturgeon reproduction, OF-egg signaling and the origin of OF proteins. The mass spectrometry proteomics data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange Consortium with the dataset identifier PXD044168 to ensure accessibility for further research.

Abstract
Currently, the majority of sturgeons are relict fishes of high economic value yet endangered with extinction. Cryopreservation of sperm has great potential in fish farming and conservation, but the problem of low cryoresistance of sturgeon sperm has not yet been solved. The goal of this work was to review current literature data on the causes of low tolerance of sturgeon sperm to cryodamage. The influence of cryopreservation on the parameters of physiology and metabolism of sturgeon sperm (morphology and fine ultrastructure, mobility and fertilization ability, integrity of the plasma membrane, protein, lipid and metabolite profiles, antioxidant status, DNA damage), as well as on biomarkers of oxidative stress (lipids peroxidation levels and carbonyl derivatives of proteins) is discussed. Since the development of oxidative stress is an important mechanism of sperm cryodamage induction, the review presents the literature on the role of oxygen-derived species in damage of sturgeon reproductive cells caused by cryopreservation. Particular attention is paid to the system of antioxidant protection of sturgeon seminal plasma and spermatozoa, represented by antioxidant enzymes and low molecular weight antioxidants capable of utilizing various reactive forms of oxygen and nitrogen. The review discusses the results of lipidomic and proteomic studies of sturgeon sperm, which made it possible to obtain new data on the lipid composition of cell membranes, to detect proteins involved in the protection of sturgeon spermatozoa from oxidative damage during cryopreservation. This review presents the use of «omics» technology to elucidate the mechanism of cryodamage in sturgeon sperm. Additionally, the review summarizes information on the unique anatomical, morphological, biochemical, and physiological features of sturgeon sperm, which may be associated with low cryoresistance of sturgeon, in order to establish prospects for further research on improving the methods of the conservation of sperm of these threatened species.

Abstract
Hemolymph is the circulatory fluid that fills the body cavity of crustaceans, analogous to blood in vertebrates. Hemolymph coagulation, similar to blood clotting in vertebrates, plays a crucial role in wound healing and innate immune responses. Despite extensive studies on the clotting process in crustaceans, no comparative quantitative analysis of the protein composition of non-clotted and clotted hemolymph in any decapod has been reported. In this study, we used label-free protein quantification with high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify the proteomic profile of hemolymph in crayfish and quantify significant changes in protein abundances between non-clotted and clotted hemolymph. Our analysis identified a total of two-hundred and nineteen proteins in both hemolymph groups. Furthermore, we discussed the potential functions of the top most high and low-abundant proteins in hemolymph proteomic profile. The quantity of most of the proteins was not significantly changed during coagulation between non-clotted and clotted hemolymph, which may indicate that clotting proteins are likely pre-synthesized, allowing for a swift coagulation response to injury. Four proteins still showed abundance differences (p < 0.05, fold change>2), including C-type lectin domain-containing proteins, Laminin A chain, Tropomyosin, and Reverse transcriptase domain-containing proteins. While the first three proteins were down-regulated, the last one was up-regulated. The down-regulation of structural and cytoskeletal proteins may affect the process of hemocyte degranulation needed for coagulation, while the up-regulation of an immune-related protein might be attributed to the phagocytosis ability of viable hemocytes during coagulation.

Abstract
Despite the widespread recognition of adaptive radiation as a driver of speciation, the mechanisms by which natural selection generates new species are incompletely understood. The evolutionary radiation of endemic East Asian cyprinids has been proposed as evolving through a change in spawning habits, involving a transition from semibuoyant eggs to adhesive eggs in response to crosslinked river-lake system formation. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms that underpin this radiation, associated with egg hydration and adhesiveness. We demonstrated that semibuoyant eggs enhance hydration by increasing the degradation of yolk protein and accumulation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions, while adhesive eggs improve adhesiveness and hardness of the egg envelope by producing an adhesive layer and a unique 4th layer to the egg envelope. Based on multiomics analyses and verification tests, we showed that during the process of adaptive radiation, adhesive eggs downregulated the “vitellogenin degradation pathway,” “zinc metalloprotease pathway,” and “ubiquitin-proteasome pathway” and the pathways of Ca2+ and Mg2+ active transport to reduce their hydration. At the same time, adhesive eggs upregulated the crosslinks of microfilament-associated proteins and adhesive-related proteins, the hardening-related proteins of the egg envelope, and the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan in the ovary to generate adhesiveness. These findings illustrate the novel molecular mechanisms associated with hydration and adhesiveness of freshwater fish eggs and identify critical molecular mechanisms involved in the adaptive radiation of endemic East Asian cyprinids. We propose that these key egg attributes may function as “magic traits” in this adaptive radiation.

COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2021; 40:100917.

Abstract
A metabolomics study was conducted to investigate the molecular bases of oocyte over-ripening in common carp, Cyprinus carpio from a metabolic point of view. The ovulation was induced in fish brooders by intramuscular injection of pituitary extract and oocytes were collected four times post-ovulation with 30 min intervals. A set of 32 metabolites were identified on the NMR spectra of the oocytes, which mainly included energy-linked metabolites, amino acids, methylated metabolites and citric acid cycle (TCA) intermediates. PCA and PLS-DA models clearly separated the post ovulations times, indicating the effects of post-ovulation time on oocyte metabolome content. Based on the loading plot outputs, 15 metabolites including tryptophan, cysteine, AMP, tyrosine, valine, creatine phosphate (PCr), ATP, leucine, inosine, malate, acetate, TMAO, glucose, fumarate and lysine had more effects on the separation of post ovulation times. According to the results of metabolite profiling, the concentrations of glutamine, alanine, tryptophan, lysine and cysteine mostly significantly (P < 0.01) increased at 90 and 120 min post-ovulation. The concentrations of PCr, ATP, inosine and guanosine were relatively stable until 60 min post-ovulation, while significantly (P < 0.01) decreased at 90 and 120 min post ovulation. The TCA metabolites succinate, malate and fumarate significantly (P < 0.01) elevated at 90 and 120 min post-ovulation. AMP concentrations remained relatively unchanged until 30 min and then progressively decreased with time post ovulation (P < 0.01). The concentrations of lactate showed significant elevations at 90 and 120 min post ovulation (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the energetic potentials of the oocytes reduced with time post ovulation. There were apparent elevations in the concentrations of free amino acids, which may be associated with the onset of proteolytic activities in the post ovulatory oocytes. In addition, we found some changes in the apoptotic-related metabolites, which may support the results of previous studies regarding the oxidative stress and following apoptosis in post ovulatory oocytes of fish.

Abstract
Fertilization of freshwater fish occurs in the environment which negatively affects a lifespan of gametes mostly due to the osmotic shock; therefore, male gametes should reach the female gamete, as soon as possible. The existence of mechanisms controlling the encounter of gametes would be highly expedient in this case. By analogy with other species for which guidance was demonstrated, it is likely that this control may be performed by ovarian fluid or substances released by eggs. The aim was to study the effect of ovarian fluid and egg-released substances on spermatozoa behavior in sterlet. It was found that the presence of a particular concentration of ovarian fluid (30% solution in water) had an inhibiting effect on spermatozoa motility initiation. Lower concentrations of the ovarian fluid improved the longevity of spermatozoa and did not affect their trajectories. Test of chemotactic response (using a microcapillary injection of fluids into the suspension of motile spermatozoa) showed no effect of ovarian fluid on spermatozoa behavior, while at the same time, the attracting effect of the egg-conditioned medium was evident (i.e., due to some substances released from the eggs during their contact with freshwater). The results of the fertilization test showed that the presence of ovarian fluid prevented the eggs from losing the fertilizing ability due to the contact with water, as well as promoted the spermatozoa to fertilize the eggs during a longer period of time. Thus, the combined physicochemical action of "female factors" affects sterlet gametes during fertilization and may be involved in the guidance and selection mechanisms.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate seasonal testicular development in the cultured sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus. During annual sexual cycle of male sterlet, stages of gonad maturity were examined using histology and ultrasonography approaches. The histology identified males at different stages of maturity among fish sampled monthly. According to the seasonal changes in the testes, reproductive cycle was divided into four stages including resting, pre-spawning, spawning, and post-spawning. The histology examination revealed considerable variation in testicular developmental stages. These changes were identified based on persistent spermatogenesis and asynchronous gonad development in testes, showing that regulation of annual gonadal cycle is influenced by season. Also, the results obtained using ultrasound suggested that reproductive stages can be identified based on morphology and tissue echogenicity. At each phase of testicular development, gonadosomatic index (GSI) and number of spermatogenic cysts were variable. The present study focused on determination of annual reproductive development in cultured male sterlet which clearly identifies reproductive stage in each season as valuable guide for future researches on reproductive biology of sterlet. This study presents basic knowledge about reproductive biology in sterlet contributing to optimal broodstocks management that allows comparison of reproductive development among sturgeon species.

Abstract
Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) is an endangered species and genetic resource banking such as gametes and embryo preservation could be one of the most pursued conservation approaches. In this study, deleterious effects of the traditional cryopreservation technique and the effect of different doses of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HβCD) on thawed spermatozoa quality (motility duration and percentage) of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) were investigated from metabolic aspects of view. For cryopreserving, semen was diluted with Tris-HCl (100 mM) extenders containing 0, 5, 10, and 15 mM of HβCD in a ratio of 1:1 (semen/extenders). Semen-extenders were filled into 0.5-mL straws and were frozen with the vapor of liquid nitrogen, and then immersed into liquid nitrogen. Cryopreserved spermatozoa were thawed in water baths in 15 s. Two treatments with the highest and the lowest motility percentages (0 and 10 mM of HβCD) were chosen to reveal the extremes of the metabolites change range and were objected to 1H NMR spectroscopy. Univariate (ANOVA) and multivariate (PCA) analysis of the obtained metabolic profiles showed significant changes (P < 0.05) in metabolites. The use of 10 mM of HβCD was completely successful in the preservation of creatinine, glucose, guanidoacetate, O-phosphocholine, and N, N-dimethylglycine and probably their corresponding biochemical pathways, but it failed to preserve lactate, carnitine, betain, β-alanin, and trimethylamine N-oxide. It was also partially successful in preserving acetate, creatine, creatine phosphate, and glycine, all suggesting how HβCD can be effective as a cryoprotectant.

The testis of the unrestricted type had a germinal compartment composed of lobules containing germ cells and Sertoli cells, and separated by a basal lamina from the interstitial compartment, in which Leydig and myoid cells were detected for the first time in Acipenseridae. Spermatogenesis occurred in spermatocysts produced when Sertoli cells became associated with type A spermatogonia of subsequent generations, which produced a clone of synchronized aligned spermatogonia. In primary spermatocytes at zygo-pachytene stage, the large spherical nucleus contained synaptonemal complexes. The smaller secondary spermatocytes were ovoid with a central round nucleus and scarce cytoplasm. Spermatids were interconnected by cytoplasmic bridges until early spermiogenesis. Chromatin initially condensed as long, twisted, and nonhomogeneous fibers and finally as a compact structure made of thick filaments. Early spermatids showed the flagellum, the primordia of centriole complex and of "implantation fossa," followed by the acrosomal vesicle formed by Golgi complexes and a fibrous body associated to centriole complex. The spermatozoan head had 10 postero-lateral projections and a trapezoidal nucleus, a cylindrical midpiece with six to eight mitochondria, the centriole complex, and a "9 + 2" flagellum with a pair of lateral fins. Three helical endonuclear canals crossed the nucleus from the acrosome base to the implantation fossa; their spiralization and that of chromatin fibers suggest a spiral twisting of the nucleus during spermiogenesis. The Sertoli cells performed phagocytosis of degenerating spermatids and spermatozoa. Significant interindividual differences were detected in most morphological parameters of spermatozoa. Data on spermatogenesis in A. naccarii and morphometric measurements on mature spermatozoa provide information about the reproductive biology of the species useful not only for phylogenetic studies but also for evaluation of sperm quality for artificial reproduction projects and restocking of this and other critically endangered sturgeon species.

Abstract
Fish sperm cryopreservation is a well-established technique allowing for artificial insemination on a commercial scale. The extent of proteome alterations in seminal plasma and sperm due to cryopreservation, however, is not known. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cryopreservation on motility variables of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus sperm and to detect the differences in protein profiles of fresh and cryopreserved sterlet sperm and seminal plasma. Fresh sperm had 89 ± 3% motility and 160 ± 14 μm/s curvilinear velocity at 15 s post-activation. The motility rate of cryopreserved sperm (37 ± 5%) was less at 15 s post-activation. No difference (ANOVA; P > 0.05) in mean curvilinear velocity of fresh and cryopreserved sperm was detected. The protein profiles of seminal plasma and sperm were characterized using comparative proteomics to determine the influence of cryopreservation. Six altered protein spots in seminal plasma and thirteen altered spots in sperm were detected in fresh and thawed sperm. Subsequent protein characterization suggested that the proteins identified were involved in sperm metabolism, cytoskeleton, and stress response. The results broaden the understanding of the effects of cryopreservation and identify the proteins associated with cryo-injury. These data may help to determine the function of altered proteins and provide new insights into improving sperm cryopreservation.
