Abstract
Role of telomerase in specimens with retarded growth (dwarfs) has not been thoroughly examined to date. Considering that some of the fish species show correlation between somatic growth and activity of telomerase, it has been tempting to assume that pattern of telomerase activity in specimens with retarded growth and these with normal growth rate may vary. In the present research, telomerase activity has been examined in liver, skin, and muscles in the androgenetic rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with growth deficiency and their normally developed siblings. Among the examined organs, the liver showed the highest telomerase activity in all studied fish, what may be linked to the enormous regeneration capacity of the liver tissue. Although dwarf specimens examined here displayed significantly lower body size and weight they did not exhibit any significant differences in the telomerase activity measured in liver and muscle when compared to the rainbow trout without growth deficiency. In turn, telomerase activity in skin was significantly upregulated in the normally developed androgenotes. The present study indicates that dwarfism in the androgenetic rainbow trout is neither associated with ceased telomerase activity nor its decrease throughout the ontogenetic development.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
