The dietary inclusion of 15% SR21 was optimal for the growth performance of zebrafish. Previous studies demonstrated that fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) of <i>Edwardsiella tarda</i> is a valuable broad-spectrum antigen against various pathogens in aquaculture (e.g., <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i>, <i>Vibro anguillarum</i>, <i>Vibro harveyi</i>, <i>Vibro alginolyticus</i>). We pioneered the development of stable <i>S. limacinum</i> SR21 transformants expressing the antigen protein FBA, exploring their potential as a novel oral vaccine for the aquaculture industry. The model animal zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>) and ornamental fish koi carp (<i>Cyprinus carpio</i> koi) were harnessed to assess the immunoprotective effect, respectively. According to the quantitative expression analysis, zebrafish fed with recombinant <i>Schizochytrium</i> expressing FBA exhibited specific immune responses in the intestine. The expression levels of <i>MHC-I</i> and <i>MHC-II</i>, involved in cell-mediated adaptive immune responses, were significantly upregulated on the 14th and 28th days post-immunization. Additionally, the expression of highly specialized antibody genes <i>IgZ1</i> and <i>IgZ2</i> in mucosal immunity were significantly triggered on the 14th day post-immunization. Feeding koi carp with recombinant <i>S. limacinum</i> SR21-FBA increased the production of myeloperoxidase and FBA-specific antibodies in the sera. Furthermore, the sera of koi fed with recombinant <i>S. limacinum</i> SR21-FBA exhibited significant bactericidal activities against pathogen <i>E. tarda</i>. Thus, <i>S. limacinum</i> SR21 is a natural and highly promising oral vaccine carrier that not only provides essential nutrients as a functional feed ingredient but also offers specific immune protection to aquatic animals.

Male C57BL6J mice were immobilized for 1 week to induce skeletal muscle atrophy. Following immobilization, the mice were administrated orally with saline or fucosterol (10 or 30 mg/kg/day) for 1 week. Fucosterol significantly attenuated immobilization-induced muscle atrophy by enhancing muscle strength, with a concomitant increase in muscle volume, mass, and myofiber cross-sectional area in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle in mice. In both the TNF-α-treated C2C12 myotubes and the TA muscle of immobilized mice, fucosterol significantly prevented muscle protein degradation, which was attributed to a reduction in atrogin-1 and muscle ring finger 1 gene expression through an increase in forkhead box O3α (FoxO3α) phosphorylation. Continuously, fucosterol stimulated muscle protein synthesis by increasing the phosphorylation of the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR), 70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase, and 4E binding protein 1, which was mediated through the stimulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway.
