Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:1202. [PMID: 38672351 PMCID: PMC11047736 DOI: 10.3390/ani14081202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Decapterus maruadsi is a typical representative of small pelagic fish characterized by fast growth rate, small body size, and high fecundity. It is a high-quality marine commercial fish with high nutritional value. However, the underlying genetics and genomics research focused on D. maruadsi is not comprehensive. Herein, a high-quality chromosome-level genome of a male D. maruadsi was assembled. The assembled genome length was 716.13 Mb with contig N50 of 19.70 Mb. Notably, we successfully anchored 95.73% contig sequences into 23 chromosomes with a total length of 685.54 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 30.77 Mb. A total of 22,716 protein-coding genes, 274.90 Mb repeat sequences, and 10,060 ncRNAs were predicted, among which 22,037 (97%) genes were successfully functionally annotated. The comparative genome analysis identified 459 unique, 73 expanded, and 52 contracted gene families. Moreover, 2804 genes were identified as candidates for positive selection, of which some that were related to the growth and development of bone, muscle, cardioid, and ovaries, such as some members of the TGF-β superfamily, were likely involved in the evolution of typical biological features in D. maruadsi. The study provides an accurate and complete chromosome-level reference genome for further genetic conservation, genomic-assisted breeding, and adaptive evolution research for D. maruadsi.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126949.

Abstract
Members of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway regulate diverse cellular biological processes in embryonic and tissue development. We took mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) as the research object to identify all members of the TGF-β signaling pathway, measure their expression pattern in the key period post hatching, and further explore their possible role in the process of sex regulation. Herein, we identified eighty-three TGF-β signaling pathway members and located them on chromosomes based on the genome of mandarin fish. TGF-β signaling pathway members were highly conserved since each TGF-β subfamily clustered with orthologs from other species. Transcriptome analysis, qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization demonstrated that most mandarin fish TGF-β signaling pathway members presented stage-specific and/or sex-dimorphic expression during gonadal development, and different members of the TGF-β signaling pathway participated in different stages of gonadal development. Taken together, our results provide new insight into the role of TGF-β signaling pathway members in the sex regulation of mandarin fish.

Kaneko N, Ishikawa T, Nomura K. Effects of the short-term fasting and refeeding on growth-related genes in Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) larvae. Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 2023; 265:110826. [PMID: 36608929 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpb.2023.110826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) spends a long period as the leptocephalus larval form under current rearing conditions. The duration of the larval stage until metamorphosis is influenced by body size and growth; however, little knowledge exists of the regulatory mechanism of growth in eel larvae. The present study focused on growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and IGF binding protein (IGFBP) as the central regulators of growth in teleost fishes and transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-β3) as a possible key modulator of muscle growth and body component synthesis. Japanese eel IGFBP-1a and TGF-β3, comprising 264 and 411 amino acids, respectively, were cloned. Short-term (5-day) fasting and refeeding experiments were performed to understand changes in growth-related genes affected by nutritional status. The relative expression of gh increased with fasting and subsequently decreased with refeeding to the basal levels of the fed control. Relative igf-1 and igf-2 expression levels were high in the fasted group. Relative igf-1 was reduced after 2-day refeeding, whereas igf-2 decreased to the basal level after 1-day refeeding, suggesting that IGF-1 and IGF-2 might be regulated independently and contribute to postnatal growth in eel larvae. Relative igfbp-1a expression was sharply increased by fasting, whereas tgf-β3 showed high and low values in the fed and fasted groups, respectively. Relative igfbp-1a and tgf-β3 levels were negatively and positively correlated with body size, respectively. These results suggest that igfbp-1a and tgf-β3 are potential indices of growth for exploring optimal rearing conditions to shorten the larval stage in Japanese eels.

Abstract
Control of tissue metabolism and growth involves interactions between organs, tissues, and cell types, mediated by cytokines or direct communication through cellular exchanges. Indeed, over the past decades, many peptides produced by adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and bone named adipokines, myokines and osteokines respectively, have been identified in mammals playing key roles in organ/tissue development and function. Some of them are released into the circulation acting as classical hormones, but they can also act locally showing autocrine/paracrine effects. In recent years, some of these cytokines have been identified in fish models of biomedical or agronomic interest. In this review, we will present their state of the art focusing on local actions and inter-tissue effects. Adipokines reported in fish adipocytes include adiponectin and leptin among others. We will focus on their structure characteristics, gene expression, receptors, and effects, in the adipose tissue itself, mainly regulating cell differentiation and metabolism, but in muscle and bone as target tissues too. Moreover, lipid metabolites, named lipokines, can also act as signaling molecules regulating metabolic homeostasis. Regarding myokines, the best documented in fish are myostatin and the insulin-like growth factors. This review summarizes their characteristics at a molecular level, and describes both, autocrine effects and interactions with adipose tissue and bone. Nonetheless, our understanding of the functions and mechanisms of action of many of these cytokines is still largely incomplete in fish, especially concerning osteokines (i.e., osteocalcin), whose potential cross talking roles remain to be elucidated. Furthermore, by using selective breeding or genetic tools, the formation of a specific tissue can be altered, highlighting the consequences on other tissues, and allowing the identification of communication signals. The specific effects of identified cytokines validated through in vitro models or in vivo trials will be described. Moreover, future scientific fronts (i.e., exosomes) and tools (i.e., co-cultures, organoids) for a better understanding of inter-organ crosstalk in fish will also be presented. As a final consideration, further identification of molecules involved in inter-tissue communication will open new avenues of knowledge in the control of fish homeostasis, as well as possible strategies to be applied in aquaculture or biomedicine.

Abstract
Inhibin plays important roles in vertebrate reproduction and development. In this study, we have cloned two genes encoding inhibin subunits, inhα and ihnβb, in Chinese tongue sole. inhα consists of 1032 bp, encoding a 343 amino-acid protein. inhβb is composed of 1275 bp, encoding a 424 amino-acid protein. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that INHα and INHβB were independently evolved. qPCR showed that inhα expression of in male testis was higher than that in ovary and pseudomale testis, while the expression of inhβb in ovary was higher than that in male and pseudomale testis. During gonadal developmental stages, inhα expression reached highest at 120 days post hatching (dph) both in ovary and testis, then showed decline in ovary but it was first decreased and then increased in the testis. Similarly, inhβb expression in ovary was low at 50-80 dph. At 120 dph, its expression was significantly increased to the peak level, and then gradually decreased. inhβb expression in testis maintained at a low level. During the embryonic developmental stages, inhα displayed the highest expression at 32-cell stage, whereas inhβb reached the highest expression at blastula stages. In situ hybridization data showed that both of inhα and inhβb were detected in oocytes of all stages. In male testis, inhα and inhβb was localized in spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatozoa, sertoli and leydig cells. In pseudomale testis, inhα showed the similar pattern in male testis, while the inhβb was detected in spermatocytes and spermatozoa. These data suggested that inhα may participate the spermatogenesis and oogenesis of Chinese tongue sole, while inhβb might predominantly function in oogenesis.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify differences in the transcriptomic profiles of primary muscle cell cultures derived from the semitendinosus muscle of bulls of beef breeds (Limousin (LIM) and Hereford (HER)) and a dairy breed (Holstein-Friesian (HF)) (n = 4 for each breed). Finding a common expression pattern for proliferating cells may point to such an early orientation of the cattle beef phenotype at the transcriptome level of unfused myogenic cells. To check this hypothesis, microarray analyses were performed. The analysis revealed 825 upregulated and 1300 downregulated transcripts similar in both beef breeds (LIM and HER) and significantly different when compared with the dairy breed (HF) used as a reference. Ontological analyses showed that the largest group of genes were involved in muscle organ development. Muscle cells of beef breeds showed higher expression of genes involved in myogenesis (including erbb-3, myf5, myog, des, igf-1, tgfb2) and those encoding proteins comprising the contractile apparatus (acta1, actc1, myh3, myh11, myl1, myl2, myl4, tpm1, tnnt2, tnnc1). The obtained results confirmed our hypothesis that the expression profile of several groups of genes is common in beef breeds at the level of proliferating satellite cells but differs from that observed in typical dairy breeds.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth largest cancer in the world, with a 5-year survival rate of <30%. Thus, this study intends to investigate the effects of inhibin βA (INHBA) gene silencing on the migration and invasion of GC cells via the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway. Initially, this study determined the expression of INHBA and the TGF-β signaling pathway-related genes in GC tissues. After that, to assess the effect of INHBA silencing on GC progression, GC cells were transfected with short hairpin RNAs that targeted INHBA in order to detect the expression of INHBA and the TGF-β signaling pathway-related genes, as well as cell migration, invasion, and proliferation abilities. Finally, a tumor xenograft model in nude mice was constructed to verify the effect that the silencing of INHBA had on tumor growth. Highly expressed INHBA and activated TGF-β signaling pathways were observed in GC tissues. In response to shINHBA-1 and shINHBA-2, the TGF-β signaling pathway was inhibited in GC cells, whereas the GC cell migration, invasion, proliferation, and tumor growth were significantly dampened. On the basis of the observations and findings of this study, INHBA gene silencing inhibited the progression of GC by inactivating the TGF-β signaling pathway, which provides a potential target in the treatment of GC.

Abstract
Satellite cells play a key role in the aging, generation, and damage repair of skeletal muscle. The molecular mechanism of satellite cells in these processes remains largely unknown. This study systematically investigated for the first time the characteristics of mouse satellite cells at ten different ages. Results indicated that the number and differentiation capacity of satellite cells decreased with age during skeletal muscle development. Transcriptome analysis revealed that 2,907 genes were differentially expressed at six time points at postnatal stage. WGCNA and GO analysis indicated that 1,739 of the 2,907 DEGs were mainly involved in skeletal muscle development processes. Moreover, the results of WGCNA and protein interaction analysis demonstrated that Tgfβ2, Wnt9a, and Fgfr4 were the key genes responsible for the differentiation of satellite cells. Functional analysis showed that TGFβ2 and WNT9a inhibited, whereas FGFR4 promoted the differentiation of satellite cells. Furthermore, each two of them had a regulatory relationship at the protein level. In vivo study also confirmed that TGFβ2 could regulate the regeneration of skeletal muscle, as well as the expression of WNT9a and FGFR4. Therefore, we concluded that the synergistic effects of TGFβ2, WNT9a, and FGFR4 were responsible for attenuating of the differentiation of aging satellite cells during skeletal muscle development. This study provided new insights into the molecular mechanism of satellite cell development. The target genes and signaling pathways investigated in this study would be useful for improving the muscle growth of livestock or treating muscle diseases in clinical settings.

Characterisation of equine satellite cell transcriptomic profile response to β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB). Br J Nutr 2016; 116:1315-1325.

Abstract
β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a popular ergogenic
aid used by human athletes and as a supplement to sport horses, because of its ability to
aid muscle recovery, improve performance and body composition. Recent findings suggest
that HMB may stimulate satellite cells and affect expressions of genes regulating skeletal
muscle cell growth. Despite the scientific data showing benefits of HMB supplementation in
horses, no previous study has explained the mechanism of action of HMB in this species.
The aim of this study was to reveal the molecular background of HMB action on equine
skeletal muscle by investigating the transcriptomic profile changes induced by HMB in
equine satellite cells in vitro. Upon isolation from the
semitendinosus muscle, equine satellite cells were cultured until the
2nd day of differentiation. Differentiating cells were incubated with HMB for 24 h. Total
cellular RNA was isolated, amplified, labelled and hybridised to microarray slides.
Microarray data validation was performed with real-time quantitative PCR. HMB induced
differential expressions of 361 genes. Functional analysis revealed that the main
biological processes influenced by HMB in equine satellite cells were related to muscle
organ development, protein metabolism, energy homoeostasis and lipid metabolism. In
conclusion, this study demonstrated for the first time that HMB has the potential to
influence equine satellite cells by controlling global gene expression. Genes and
biological processes targeted by HMB in equine satellite cells may support HMB utility in
improving growth and regeneration of equine skeletal muscle; however, the overall role of
HMB in horses remains equivocal and requires further proteomic, biochemical and
pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult skeletal muscle myogenesis depends on the activation of satellite cells that have the potential to differentiate into new fibers. Gamma-oryzanol (GO), a commercially available nutriactive phytochemical, has gained global interest on account of its muscle-building and regenerating effects. Here, we investigated GO for its potential influence on myogenesis, using equine satellite cell culture model, since the horse is a unique animal, bred and exercised for competitive sport. To our knowledge, this is the first report where the global gene expression in cultured equine satellite cells has been described. METHODS Equine satellite cells were isolated from semitendinosus muscle and cultured until the second day of differentiation. Differentiating cells were incubated with GO for the next 24 h. Subsequently, total RNA from GO-treated and control cells was isolated, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to two-color Horse Gene Expression Microarray slides. Quantitative PCR was used for the validation of microarray data. RESULTS Our results revealed 58 genes with changed expression in GO-treated vs. control cells. Analysis of expression changes suggests that various processes are reinforced by GO in differentiating equine satellite cells, including inhibition of myoblast differentiation, increased proliferation and differentiation, stress response, and increased myogenic lineage commitment. CONCLUSIONS The present study may confirm putative muscle-enhancing abilities of GO; however, the collective role of GO in skeletal myogenesis remains equivocal. The diversity of these changes is likely due to heterogenous growth rate of cells in primary culture. Genes identified in our study, modulated by the presence of GO, may become potential targets of future research investigating impact of this supplement in skeletal muscle on proteomic and biochemical level.
