Abstract
Cartilaginous fishes (chondrichthyans: chimeras and elasmobranchs -sharks, skates, and rays) hold a key phylogenetic position to explore the origin and diversifications of jawed vertebrates. Here, we report and integrate reference genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data in the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula to shed light on the evolution of sensory organs. We first characterize general aspects of the catshark genome, confirming the high conservation of genome organization across cartilaginous fishes, and investigate population genomic signatures. Taking advantage of a dense sampling of transcriptomic data, we also identify gene signatures for all major organs, including chondrichthyan specializations, and evaluate expression diversifications between paralogs within major gene families involved in sensory functions. Finally, we combine these data with 3D synchrotron imaging and in situ gene expression analyses to explore chondrichthyan-specific traits and more general evolutionary trends of sensory systems. This approach brings to light, among others, novel markers of the ampullae of Lorenzini electrosensory cells, a duplication hotspot for crystallin genes conserved in jawed vertebrates, and a new metazoan clade of the transient-receptor potential (TRP) family. These resources and results, obtained in an experimentally tractable chondrichthyan model, open new avenues to integrate multiomics analyses for the study of elasmobranchs and jawed vertebrates.

Abstract
Identification of specific molecular markers for spermatogonial stem cells in teleost is crucial for enhancing the efficacy of reproductive biotechnologies in aquaculture, such as transplantation and surrogate production in fishes. Since it is not yet possible to distinguish spermatogonial stem cells of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) using specific molecular markers, we isolated spermatogonial cells from immature European eels to find these potential markers. We attempted this by studying three candidate genes: vasa, nanos2, and dnd1. Two vasa (vasa1 and vasa2) genes, nanos2, and dnd1 were identified, characterized, and studied in the muscle, testis, and isolated spermatogonia. Our results showed that vasa1 and vasa2 had the highest levels of expression when measured by qPCR. In situ hybridization and immunochemistry assays showed that the four genes were localized explicitly in type A spermatogonia. However, vasa1 and vasa2 exhibited stronger signals in the immature testicular tissue than the other two potential markers. According to this, vasa1 and vasa2 were found to be the most effective markers for spermatogonial cells in the European eel.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2024; 81:285. [PMID: 38969941 PMCID: PMC11335209 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-024-05341-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
Volume regulation is essential for cell homeostasis and physiological function. Amongst the sensory molecules that have been associated with volume regulation is the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), which is a non-selective cation channel that in conjunction with aquaporins, typically controls regulatory volume decrease (RVD). Here we show that the interaction between orthologous AQP4 (Aqp4a) and TRPV4 (Trpv4) is important for regulatory volume increase (RVI) in post-activated marine fish spermatozoa under high osmotic stress. Based upon electrophysiological, volumetric, and in vivo and ex vivo functional experiments using the pharmacological and immunological inhibition of Aqp4a and Trpv4 our model suggests that upon ejaculation and exposure to the hypertonic seawater, spermatozoon shrinkage is initially mediated by water efflux through Aqp1aa in the flagellar tail. The shrinkage results in an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and the activation of sperm motility and a Na+/K+/2Cl- (NKCC1) cotransporter. The activity of NKCC1 is required for the initiation of cell swelling, which secondarily activates the Aqp4a-Trpv4 complex to facilitate the influx of water via Aqp4a-M43 and Ca2+ via Trpv4 and L-type channels for the mediation of RVI. The inhibitory experiments show that blocking of each of these events prevents either shrinkage or RVI. Our data thus reveal that post-activated marine fish spermatozoa are capable of initiating RVI under a high hypertonic stress, which is essential for the maintenance of sperm motility.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 3 (TRPV3) is an ion channel with a sensory function that is most abundantly expressed in keratinocytes and peripheral neurons. TRPV3 plays a role in Ca2+ homeostasis due to non-selective ionic conductivity and participates in signaling pathways associated with itch, dermatitis, hair growth, and skin regeneration. TRPV3 is a marker of pathological dysfunctions, and its expression is increased in conditions of injury and inflammation. There are also pathogenic mutant forms of the channel associated with genetic diseases. TRPV3 is considered as a potential therapeutic target of pain and itch, but there is a rather limited range of natural and synthetic ligands for this channel, most of which do not have high affinity and selectivity. In this review, we discuss the progress in the understanding of the evolution, structure, and pharmacology of TRPV3 in the context of the channel's function in normal and pathological states.
