Transcriptome Analysis to Study the Molecular Response in the Gill and Hepatopancreas Tissues of Macrobrachium nipponense to Salinity Acclimation
Summary
Researchers used Illumina RNA sequencing to perform transcriptome analyses of gill and hepatopancreas tissues from the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium nipponense exposed to three salinity levels. They identified differentially expressed genes related to ion transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycometabolism, and confirmed carbonic anhydrase as a key regulator of osmotic adaptation through in situ hybridization.
Macrobrachium nipponense is an economically important prawn species and common in Chinese inland capture fisheries. During aquaculture, M. nipponense can survive under freshwater and low salinity conditions. The molecular mechanism underlying the response to salinity acclimation remains unclear in this species; thus, in this study, we used the Illumina RNA sequencing platform for transcriptome analyses of the gill and hepatopancreas tissues of M. nipponense exposed to salinity stress [0.4‰ (S0, control group), 6‰ (S6, low salinity group), and 12‰ (S12, high salinity group)]. Differentially expressed genes were identified, and several important salinity adaptation-related terms and signaling pathways were found to be enriched, such as "ion transport," "oxidative phosphorylation," and "glycometabolism." Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated the participation of 12 key genes in osmotic pressure regulation in M. nipponense under acute salinity stress. Further, the role of carbonic anhydrase in response to salinity acclimation was investigated by subjecting the gill tissues of M. nipponense to in situ hybridization. Collectively, the results reported herein enhance our understanding of the mechanisms via which M. nipponense adapts to changes in salinity.

Transcriptome Analysis of Gills Provides Insights Into Translation Changes Under Hypoxic Stress and Reoxygenation in Golden Pompano, Trachinotus ovatus (Linnaeus 1758)
This transcriptome study found that oxygen deprivation suppresses immune genes in the gills of golden pompano fish, potentially explaining why fish are more susceptible to infections under low-oxygen aquaculture conditions. The molecular findings support improved oxygen management practices in fish farming to protect both animal welfare and food quality.
