Transcriptome analysis of mantle tissues reveals potential biomineralization-related genes in Tectus pyramis Born
Publication date: Available online 15 November 2018Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Yu Shi, Meng Xu, Jing Huang, Hua Zhang, Wenguang Liu, Zekui Ou, Maoxian HeAbstractThe marine mollusk Tectus pyramis is a valuable shellfish primarily distributed in the tropical waters of the South China Sea, as well as in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and areas near the southern portion of the Japanese Peninsula. Despite major economic interest in this mollusk, limited genomic resources are available for this species, which has prevented studies of the molecular mechanism, such as biominera...

Heat stress induced alternative splicing in catfish as determined by transcriptome analysis
In this study, existing RNA-Seq datasets were utilized to characterize the change of alternative splicing in catfish following heat treatment. Heat-tolerant and -intolerant catfish were differentiated by the time to lost equilibrium after heat stress. With heat stress, alternative splicing was generally increased. In heat-intolerant fish, the thermal stress induced 29.2% increases in alternative splicing events and 25.8% increases in alternatively spliced genes. A total of 282, 189, and 44 differential alternative splicing (DAS) events were identified in control-intolerant, control-tolerant, and intolerant-tolerant compari...

Metabolomics based on UHPLC-QToF- and APGC-QToF-MS reveals metabolic pathways reprogramming in response to tidal cycles in the sub-littoral species Mimachlamys varia exposed to aerial emergence
Publication date: Available online 8 November 2018Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Pascaline Ory, Antoine Bonnet, Florence Mondeguer, Marine Breitwieser, Emmanuel Dubillot, Marianne GraberAbstractMimachlamys varia is a sub-littoral bivalve encountered from Norway to the Mediterranean Sea, which lives mostly byssally attached to rocks. During the low tide period, M. varia individuals, located highest on the shore, may experience short time of aerial exposure and face a low availability of oxygen. Here we report a comparative metabolomic profiling of gill samples of M....

Comparison of the Malpighian tubules and fat body transcriptional profiles of Zophobas morio larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Publication date: Available online 9 November 2018Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Jaqueline R. Silva, Danilo T. Amaral, Vadim R. VivianiAbstractThe Malpighian tubules in insects play an essential role in osmoregulation, through the transport of ions during excretion, whereas the fat body is usually associated with the intermediary metabolism. The tubules also are involved in excretion of organic solutes and xenobiotics. However, with the exception of a preliminary transcriptional survey of the Zophobas morio (Tenebrionidae) larval tubules, there are no detailed tran...

Hepatic transcriptome of the euryhaline teleost Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) fed diets characterized by α-linolenic acid or linoleic acid
In conclusion, under the present experimental conditions, a high level of dietary α-linolenic acid tended to suppress lipid transport and protein biosynthetic processes in the liver of Japanese seabass at the gene expression level.Graphical abstractTo investigate the different effects of dietary α-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) on the euryhaline fish species Japanese seabass, a feeding trial followed by hepatic transcriptome assay was conducted. Compared to LA, ALA up-regulated transcription of 49 unigenes and down-regulated those of 311 unigenes, which were primarily enriched in pathways related to lipid tr...

Comparative transcriptional analysis and RNA interference reveal immunoregulatory pathways involved in growth of the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense
Publication date: Available online 30 October 2018Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Fajun Li, Shiyong Zhang, Chunpeng Fu, Aili Wang, Dezhen ZhangAbstractA source of premium animal protein, crustaceans are widely distributed and cultivated around the world. Short-term or long-term starvation events occur frequently owing to natural environment changes or manual management strategies in the life cycle of crustaceans. The result induced by starvation is that somatic growth of crustaceans will be retarded, while the immune mechanism is activated in this process. The aim o...

RNA-Seq analysis of the bioluminescent and non-bioluminescent species of Elateridae (Coleoptera): Comparison to others photogenic and non-photogenic tissues of Elateroidea species
Publication date: Available online 31 October 2018Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Danilo T. Amaral, Jaqueline R. Silva, Vadim R. VivianiAbstractBioluminescence in the superfamily Elateroidea is produced by specific light organs distributed in different parts of the body depending on the life stage and family. Whereas the luciferin-luciferase system is well known, the molecular control of bioluminescence, the biosynthetic route of luciferin, and the molecular differentiation of photogenic tissue in Elateridae remain enigmatic. With the aim to improve the knowledge ab...

Coding/non-coding cross-talk in intestinal epithelium transcriptome gives insights on how fish respond to stocking density
This study aimed to understand how different stocking densities of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) modulates the coding and non-coding RNAs profiling, that in turn, play key roles to maintain the fish homeostasis. For this, the intestine tissue of juvenile trout stocked for 30 days either at low (LD: 3 kg m−3) or high density (HD: 40 kg m−3) were sampled to isolate total RNA and then construct cDNA libraries for an illumina sequencing platform. Differential gene expression analysis revealed a generalized downregulation of transcripts, including coding and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Notably, significa...

How crickets become freeze tolerant: The transcriptomic underpinnings of acclimation in Gryllus veletis
Publication date: Available online 26 October 2018Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Jantina Toxopeus, Lauren E. Des Marteaux, Brent J. SinclairAbstractSome ectotherms can survive internal ice formation. In temperate regions, freeze tolerance is often induced by decreasing temperature and/or photoperiod during autumn. However, we have limited understanding of how seasonal changes in physiology contribute to freeze tolerance, and how these changes are regulated. During a six week autumn-like acclimation, late-instar juveniles of the spring field cricket Gryllus veletis ...
