Transcriptomics reveals creatine regulation of ovarian development at low temperature in Chinese soft-shelled turtles (Pelodiscus sinensis)
Some economically important animals hibernate; however, their energy regulation during low-temperature fasting remain poorly understood. To investigate ovarian development in Chinese soft-shelled turtles (Pelodiscus sinensis) under low-temperature conditions, premature turtles were treated with creatine at concentrations of 50–400 mg/kg body weight. Ovarian follicle development, creatine kinase (CK) expression, and liver transcriptomics were analyzed. After 8 weeks of creatine treatment, ovarian follicle diameters and yolk granule accumulation increased significantly (P < 0.05), CK expression was significantly upregulated (P < 0.05), and ovarian lactic acid levels decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Transcriptome analysis identified 4355 differentially expressed genes in the liver. Creatine treatment significantly increased the expression of VTG, LEPR, LHR, FSHR, and CK-B genes, and genes in the adipocytokine signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) signaling, and peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor signaling pathways were significantly upregulated. Creatine administration also enhanced leptin secretion from adipocytes, promoting ovarian development via the GnRH signaling pathway. This study provides a foundation for understanding energy metabolism in P. sinensis, offering insights to improve energy management and reproductive potential in hibernating animals under low-temperature conditions.

期刊介绍:
Aquaculture Reports will publish original research papers and reviews documenting outstanding science with a regional context and focus, answering the need for high quality information on novel species, systems and regions in emerging areas of aquaculture research and development, such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, urban aquaculture, ornamental, unfed aquaculture, offshore aquaculture and others. Papers having industry research as priority and encompassing product development research or current industry practice are encouraged.
