Heat stress destroys the physiological homeostasis of intestine tissue. However, no studies on the intestinal mucosa response of leech exposure to heat stress have been reported so far. To identify the biomarker proteins involved in heat stress response, we performed a Tandem mass tag (TMT)-based comparative proteomic analysis on leech's intestine after exposing to 27 °C and 35 °C. The cumulative mortality in the 35 °C heat stress group increased on the third day after stress compared with the control group. Mean-while, intestinal malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly up-regulated whereas total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was significantly down-regulated. A total of 3935 proteins were identified through proteomic analysis. Heat stress resulted in 144 differential proteins; 75 were up-regulated, and 69 were down-regulated. The differential expression proteins in response to heat stress are mainly involved in calcium-binding proteins, molecular chaperones, cytoskeleton integrity, immune function and inflammation response, DNA damage and repair, ribosomal protein synthesis, stress hormones and neuro-transmitters, tumorigenesis, and apoptosis. Protein-protein network interaction analysis showed that HSP, CD8A, C3, CD63, CD81, MRPL58, MRPL15, HNRNPA1, AMBP, IGHEP1, SERPINC1, CYP3A4, ATP12A, RPS13, CaM, HSP70 binding protein, HSPA6, C4A, ANXA7, ARG1, ARG2, ATP1B, CALCA, HTR1B, and GNGT1 are the critical proteins of leeches resistance to heat stress.

Transcriptome data were compared across four different developmental stages (stage II to V) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and perform GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. The expression patterns of randomly selected genes were then validated by qPCR. The results yielded a total of 1,289,401,820 raw data from all libraries, with 16,929 DEGs identified across all comparison groups. The DEGs were predominantly enriched in ovarian steroidogenesis, estrogen-mediated signaling, and TGF-beta signaling pathways.

While some studies have investigated the effects of either ocean acidification (OA) or warming (OW) on lobsters, few explore the interaction of these stressors, particularly on gene expression. We evaluated the effects of OA and OW on early benthic juvenile lobster transcriptomics using RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR through two distinct aquarium experiments. Lobsters were reared under OW/OA conditions aligned with values predicted for 2100: decrease in pH by 0.3-0.4 units; mean sea surface warming of 2.89 °C. RNA was isolated from carapace hypodermal tissue in both experiments. The multi-stressor treatment in the RNAseq experiment had the greatest differential expression. Genes of interest pertaining to calcification and cuticle development were primarily downregulated under high temperature but upregulated under acidified and multi-stressor conditions. In the RT-qPCR experiment, crustin alone was significantly downregulated and only under the most extreme multi-stressor treatment. This gene along with the prophenoloxidase activating enzyme had expression that trended toward downregulation across all treatments, suggesting a possible correlation to immune suppression. Expression profiles for crustin and the calcification gene, carbonic anhydrase differed across treatments based on molt cycle timing, indicating that stressor impacts may vary depending on the molt cycle phase. Elevated temperature had a greater effect on the expression of calcification and cuticle development genes, though the direction of expression reversed with multiple stressors. These results indicate the impacts of OW and OA on early benthic juvenile lobsters are complex, possibly synergistic, vary with molt cycle, and potentially interfere with normal cuticle development, which may increase susceptibility to injury or disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":93949,"journal":{"name":"Comparative biochemistry and physiology.

The present study investigated the sex-specific cerebral responses to chronic hypoxia through an integrated analysis of the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome of yellow catfish. Common cerebral responses in both females and males included activation of the HIF signaling pathway, angiogenesis, and improved oxygen delivery by red blood cells. Reproductive defects were indicated by the downregulation of gh1, cga, and tshb in both sexes. Thyroid hormone homeostasis was more severely disrupted by hypoxia in females than in males, accompanied by a significant decrease in the level of VTG in the female brain. Damaged brain function was evidenced by the highly enriched pathways of \"cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction\" and \"ECM-receptor interaction,\" and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) also appeared to be disrupted in female fish. In the male brain, reproductive-related genes or proteins, including prl, lepr, and AVP, were specifically decreased. Dysfunction in the male brain was also indicated by the enrichment of pathways such as \"cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction\" and \"neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,\" based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and proteins (DEPs).

As a result, 215 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified under different low-temperature stresses.

This discrepancy suggested that S. frugiperda might adopt different strategies to cope with low-temperature stress. The DEGs in the GO database were particularly associated with cell catalytic activity, cell anatomical entity process, cell apoptosis, and cell binding channel.

In this study, we exposed C. cathayensis to various temperature conditions (26 °C, 28 °C, 30 °C, and 32 °C) for 3 h, revealing that both oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion rates increased gradually with increasing temperature, reaching maximum values of 77.711 ± 2.364 μg·(g·h)^-1 and 4.701 ± 0.036 μg·(g·h)^-1 at 30 °C and 28 °C, respectively. However, values of these parameters decreased when the culture temperature increased to 32 °C. High-temperature stress also resulted in a reduced O:N ratio and decreased energy metabolism rate. To investigate how high temperature impacts antioxidant activities, immune function, and transcriptional regulation in the hepatopancreas, C. cathayensis were exposed to temperatures of 26 °C or 32 °C for 3 and 7 days, respectively. Our results indicated that high temperature disrupted the antioxidant defense system and led to immunosuppression in the hepatopancreas. Comparative transcriptome analysis identified 6638 genes with significantly altered expression between these two temperature groups.

With high nutritional value and important medical value, A. japonicus become an important commercial aquaculture species and produce significant economic value in recent years. A. japonicus has no sexual dimorphism that can be used to distinguish female and male individuals by external appearance and morphology. The phenotype sex can be only detected by dissecting and observing gonad tissue, thus the breeding efficiency could be greatly reduced. This limitation has hindered the advancement of selective breeding programs and sea cucumber industry. To investigate the genetic basis of reproductive biology in A. japonicus, advanced sequencing techniques, such as next- and third-generation sequencing, have been employed to explore the roles of non-coding RNAs and other genetic factors, offering new insights into sex determination mechanisms. To further gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge underlying lncRNAs in gonadal differentiation, we conducted a comparative transcriptome sequencing analysis of gonadal tissues from both sexes. In our research, a total of 3990 novel lncRNAs and 1441 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified between female and male gonads. Additionally, a molecular regulatory network indicating lncRNA-mRNA interactions was constructed based on transcriptional profiles, which provide insights into the potential cis- and trans- target genes of lncRNAs. The gonadal transcriptome analysis identified a number of novel long non-coding RNAs involved in female and male reproduction process. Both cis- and trans-acting regulatory networks indicating lncRNA-mRNA interaction were constructed based on transcriptional profiles. These findings provide new insights into the lncRNA-mediated regulation of reproductive biology in marine invertebrates, indicating the crucial roles of long non-coding sequences in regulating expression profiles. Further, the GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of cis- and trans- targeted mRNA for differentially expressed lncRNA indicated that sexual reproduction (GO:0019953), germ cell development (GO:0007281), and negative regulation of hormone secretion (GO:0046888) are potentially involved in gonadal differentiation through the regulation of long non-coding sequences. Notably, besides the classical reproduction related signaling pathway like Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion (ko04929), several regulatory pathways, such as Epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB) signaling pathway (ko04012), TGF-beta signaling pathway (ko04350), and neurotrophin signaling pathway (ko04722) were also enriched and potentially involved in sex differentiation and gonadal development.</p>","PeriodicalId":93949,"journal":{"name":"Comparative biochemistry and physiology.
