BIOLOGY 2024; 13:530.

Abstract
Salinization of freshwater ecosystems is a pressing global issue. Changes in salinity can exert severe pressure on aquatic animals and jeopardize their survival. Procambarus clarkii is a valuable freshwater aquaculture species that exhibits some degree of salinity tolerance, making it an excellent research model for freshwater aquaculture species facing salinity stress. In the present study, crayfish were exposed to acute low salt (6 ppt) and high salt (18 ppt) conditions. The organisms were continuously monitored at 6, 24, and 72 h using RNA-Seq to investigate the mechanisms of salt stress resistance. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the crayfish responded to salinity stress with numerous differentially expressed genes, and most of different expression genes was observed in high salinity group for 24h. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that metabolic pathways were the primary response pathways in crayfish under salinity stress. This suggests that crayfish may use metabolic pathways to compensate for energy loss caused by osmotic stress. Furthermore, gene expression analysis revealed the differential expression of immune and antioxidant-related pathway genes under salinity stress, implying that salinity stress induces immune disorders in crayfish. More genes related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, such as the Foxo, Wnt, Hippo, and Notch signaling pathways, responded to high-salinity stress. This suggests that regulating the cellular replication cycle and accelerating apoptosis may be necessary for crayfish to cope with high-salinity stress. Additionally, we identified 36 solute carrier family (SLC) genes related to ion transport, depicting possible ion exchange mechanisms in crayfish under salinity stress. These findings aimed to establish a foundation for understanding crustacean responses to salinity stress and their osmoregulatory mechanisms.

Han P, Qiao Y, He J, Wang X. Stress responses to warming in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) from different environmental scenarios. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 897:165341. [PMID: 37414161 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is one of cold-water species widely farmed in Asia. In recent years, the increased frequency of extreme weather events caused by global warming has led to serious impact on Japanese flounder. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the effects of representative coastal economic fish under increasing water temperature. In this study, we investigated the histological and apoptosis responses, oxidative stress and transcriptomic profile in the liver of Japanese flounder exposed to gradual temperature rise (GTR) and abrupt temperature rise (ATR). The histological results showed liver cells in ATR group were the most serious in all three groups including vacuolar degeneration and inflammatory infiltration, and had more apoptosis cells than GTR group detected by TUNEL staining. These further indicated ATR stress caused more severe damage than GTR stress. Compared with control group, the biochemical analysis showed significantly changes in two kinds of heat stress, including GPT, GOT and D-Glc in serum, ATPase, Glycogen, TG, TC, ROS, SOD and CAT in liver. In addition, the RNA-Seq was used to analyze the response mechanism in Japanese flounder liver after heat stress. A total of 313 and 644 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in GTR and ATR groups, respectively. Further pathway enrichment of these DEGs revealed that heat stress affected cell cycle, protein processing and transportation, DNA replication and other biological processes. Notably, protein processing pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was enriched significantly in KEGG and GSEA enrichment analysis, and the expression of ATF4 and JNK was significantly up-regulated in both GTR and ATR groups, while CHOP and TRAF2 were high expressed in GTR and ATR groups, respectively. In conclusion, heat stress could cause tissue damage, inflammation, oxidative stress and ER stress in the liver of Japanese flounder. The present study would provide insight into the reference for the adaptive mechanisms of economic fish in face of increasing water temperature caused by global warming.

Transcriptional Contribution of Transposable Elements in Relation to Salinity Conditions in Teleosts and Silencing Mechanisms Involved. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23095215.

Abstract
Fish are an interesting taxon comprising species adapted to a wide range of environments. In this work, we analyzed the transcriptional contribution of transposable elements (TEs) in the gill transcriptomes of three fish species exposed to different salinity conditions. We considered the giant marbled eel Anguilla marmorata and the chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta, both diadromous, and the marine medaka Oryzias melastigma, an euryhaline organism sensu stricto. Our analyses revealed an interesting activity of TEs in the case of juvenile eels, commonly adapted to salty water, when exposed to brackish and freshwater conditions. Moreover, the expression assessment of genes involved in TE silencing mechanisms (six in heterochromatin formation, fourteen known to be part of the nucleosome remodeling deacetylase (NuRD) complex, and four of the Argonaute subfamily) unveiled that they are active. Finally, our results evidenced for the first time a krüppel-associated box (KRAB)-like domain specific to actinopterygians that, together with TRIM33, might allow the functioning of NuRD complex also in fish species. The possible interaction between these two proteins was supported by structural prediction analyses.

RNA Sequencing Analysis Reveals Divergent Adaptive Response to Hypo- and Hyper-Salinity in Greater Amberjack ( Seriola dumerili) Juveniles. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:327. [PMID: 35158652 PMCID: PMC8833429 DOI: 10.3390/ani12030327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Salinity significantly affects physiological and metabolic activities, breeding, development, survival, and growth of marine fish. The greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is a fast-growing species that has immensely contributed to global aquaculture diversification. However, the tolerance, adaptation, and molecular responses of greater amberjack to salinity are unclear. This study reared greater amberjack juveniles under different salinity stresses (40, 30, 20, and 10 ppt) for 30 days to assess their tolerance, adaptation, and molecular responses to salinity. RNA sequencing analysis of gill tissue was used to identify genes and biological processes involved in greater amberjack response to salinity stress at 40, 30, and 20 ppt. Eighteen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (nine upregulated and nine downregulated) were identified in the 40 vs. 30 ppt group. Moreover, 417 DEGs (205 up-regulated and 212 down-regulated) were identified in the 20 vs. 30 ppt group. qPCR and transcriptomic analysis indicated that salinity stress affected the expression of genes involved in steroid biosynthesis (ebp, sqle, lss, dhcr7, dhcr24, and cyp51a1), lipid metabolism (msmo1, nsdhl, ogdh, and edar), ion transporters (slc25a48, slc37a4, slc44a4, and apq4), and immune response (wnt4 and tlr5). Furthermore, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were enriched in steroid biosynthesis, lipids metabolism, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, tryptophan metabolism, and insulin signaling pathway. Therefore, this study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of marine fish adaptation to salinity.
