Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of immersion on immune enzyme activity, haemolymph index, intestinal microbiome and metabolome of E. sinensis after low temperature air exposure. The results showed that low temperature air exposure induced stress response, which led to hepatopancreas injury and increased membrane permeability, but this situation was reversible and alleviated after immersion. In addition, after exposure to low temperature air, haemolymph metabolism-related substances such as glucose and total cholesterol were significantly different from the initial value (P < 0.05), and gradually returned to the initial level after immersion. The changes of intestinal flora and hepatopancreas metabolism caused by low temperature air exposure did not fully recover after immersion, and its negative effects did not completely disappear. The sequencing results showed that the species composition and diversity of intestinal microorganisms of Chinese mitten crabs were changed after low temperature air exposure and immersion treatment. The relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were increased, while the relative abundance of Firmicutes was decreased (P < 0.05). Metabolomics analysis showed that lysine levels increased significantly, taurocholic acid levels decreased significantly, and amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism balance were disturbed in hepatopancreas of E. sinensis after exposure to low temperature air and immersion (P < 0.05). This study will provide new insights into the recovery mechanism of water immersion on Chinese mitten crabs after exposure to air.

Untargeted GC-MS metabolomics reveals the metabolic responses in the gills of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) subjected to air-exposure stress. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 231:113159. [PMID: 35032728 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Desiccation is a common stress experienced by crabs during aquaculture and transportation. In China, the crustacean, Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), is economically important. However, little is known about the molecular pathways underlying physiological stress. Here, by using untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics, we investigated the metabolic responses of the gills of E. sinensis subjected to air-exposure stress by six biological replicates of the control group (CG) and the air-exposure stress group (AG). Metabolomic analysis identified 43 differential metabolites in the AG versus the CG that could be potential biomarkers of desiccation stress. In addition, integrated analysis of key metabolic pathways revealed the involvement of histidine metabolism; glycine, serine and threonine metabolism; the pentose phosphate pathway; the citrate cycle (TCA cycle); and nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. These findings indicated the special physiological responses to air-exposure stresses in this species.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 726:138317. [PMID: 32305752 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Oxygen deficiency (hypoxia and anoxia) is an emerging concern in estuarine and coastal ecosystems worldwide. Previous studies on Mollusca Cephalopoda have focused on the effects of hypoxia stress on physiological performance and survival, but there are few reports on the molecular mechanism, and the application of metabolomics in cephalopods remains unknown. In this study, a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the metabolites profiles of Sepia pharaonis (Ehrenberg, 1831) during hypoxia and post-anoxia recovery. The results revealed that obvious tissue-specific metabolic responses were induced by hypoxia stresses. Hypoxia exposure influenced the levels of many metabolites (e.g. BCAAs, lactate, and betaine strongly accumulated in the hepatic tissue while arginine and ATP significantly reduced; lactate and adenosine significantly increased in gills whereas arginine and choline significantly decreased; GABA, taurine and adenosine levels increased in brain but a significant depletion of N-Acetylaspartate and glycogen was found), disturbed energy and amino acid metabolism, and broke the balance of neurotransmitters and osmoregulators. Notably, almost all metabolites returned to pre-exposure levels after acute hypoxia recovery. However, we noted a pronounced depletion of the amino acid pool (arginine, glutamine, and alanine) in hepatic and gills after recovery, as well as organic osmolytes fluctuations (choline, betaine, and taurine). This work highlights the potential of metabolomics methods to elucidate the response of cuttlefish to hypoxia stress, as well as to provide knowledge on metabolic changes in cephalopods under the influences of environmental stress.

Abstract
Marine mollusks are commonly subjected to heat stress. To evaluate the effects of heat stress on the physiological metabolism of the ark shell Scapharca subcrenata, clams were exposed to different high temperatures (24, 28 and 32 °C) for 72 h. The oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion rates were measured at 2, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. The results indicated that the metabolic rates of the ark shell significantly increased with increasing heat stress, accompanied by mortalities in response to prolonged exposure. A metabolomics approach based on gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was further applied to assess the changes of metabolites in the mantle of the ark shell at 32 °C. Moreover, multivariate and pathway analyses were conducted for the different metabolites. The results showed that the heat stress caused changes in energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, osmotic regulation, carbohydrate metabolism and lipid metabolism through different metabolic pathways. These results are consistent with the significant changes of oxygen consumption rate and ammonia excretion rate. The present study contributes to the understanding of the impacts of heat stress on intertidal bivalves and elucidates the relationship between individual-level responses and underlying molecular metabolic dynamics.

Abstract
Temperature is one of the key environmental factors affecting the eco-physiological responses of living organisms and is considered one of the utmost crucial factors in shaping the fundamental niche of a species. The purpose of the present study is to delineate the physiological response and changes in energy allocation strategy of Bellamya bengalensis, a freshwater gastropod in the anticipated summer elevated temperature in the future by measuring the growth, body conditions (change in total weight, change in organ to flesh weight ratio), physiological energetics (ingestion rate, absorption rate, respiration rate, excretion rate and Scope for Growth) and thermal performance, Arrhenius breakpoint temperature (ABT), thermal critical maxima (CTmax), warming tolerance (WT) as well as thermal safety margin (TSM) through a mesocosm experiment. We exposed the animals to three different temperatures, 25 °C (average habitat temperature for this animal) and elevated temperatures 30 °C, 35 °C for 30 days and changes in energy budget were measured twice (on 15th and 30th day). Significant changes were observed in body conditions as well as physiological energetics. The total body weight as well as the organ/flesh weight ratio, ingestion followed by absorption rate decreased whereas, respiration and excretion rate increased with elevated temperature treatments resulting in a negative Scope for Growth in adverse conditions. Though no profound impact was found on ABT/CTmax, the peak of thermal curve was considerably declined for animals that were reared in higher temperature treatments. Our data reflects that thermal stress greatly impact the physiological functioning and growth patterns of B. bengalensis which might jeopardize the freshwater ecosystem functioning in future climate change scenario.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2016; 563-564:89-98.

Abstract
Ocean acidification, recognized as a major threat to marine ecosystems, has developed into one of the fastest growing fields of research in marine sciences. Several studies on fish larval stages point to abnormal behaviours, malformations and increased mortality rates as a result of exposure to increased levels of CO2. However, other studies fail to recognize any consequence, suggesting species-specific sensitivity to increased levels of CO2, highlighting the need of further research. In this study we investigated the effects of exposure to elevated pCO2 on behaviour, development, oxidative stress and energy metabolism of sand smelt larvae, Atherina presbyter. Larvae were caught at Arrábida Marine Park (Portugal) and exposed to different pCO2 levels (control: ~600μatm, pH=8.03; medium: ~1000μatm, pH=7.85; high: ~1800μatm, pH=7.64) up to 15days, after which critical swimming speed (Ucrit), morphometric traits and biochemical biomarkers were determined. Measured biomarkers were related with: 1) oxidative stress - superoxide dismutase and catalase enzyme activities, levels of lipid peroxidation and DNA damage, and levels of superoxide anion production; 2) energy metabolism - total carbohydrate levels, electron transport system activity, lactate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme activities. Swimming speed was not affected by treatment, but exposure to increasing levels of pCO2 leads to higher energetic costs and morphometric changes, with larger larvae in high pCO2 treatment and smaller larvae in medium pCO2 treatment. The efficient antioxidant response capacity and increase in energetic metabolism only registered at the medium pCO2 treatment may indicate that at higher pCO2 levels the capacity of larvae to restore their internal balance can be impaired. Our findings illustrate the need of using multiple approaches to explore the consequences of future pCO2 levels on organisms.
