Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide which was known for its role in physiological homeostasis. A recent study has confirmed that SPX plays an important role in the feeding regulation. However, the reports about SPX are very limited. In the present study, we characterized the structure, distribution and mRNA expression responses to feeding status of SPX in Ya-fish (Schizothorax prenanti). The full-length cDNA of Ya-fish SPX was 1330 base pairs (bp), which encoded 106 amino acid residues. These residues contained a 31-amino acid signal peptide region and a 14-amino acid mature peptide. The sequence alignment demonstrated that the Ya-fish SPX showed high conservation with other species. Our data revealed that SPX was widely expressed in all test tissues. The highest expression of SPX mRNA was observed in Ya-fish forebrain. Compared with the Ya-fish SPX mRNA expression in the forebrain between the preprandial and postprandial groups, the fed group was prominently increased than unfed groups after a meal, while the unfed group at 1 and 3 h substantially decreased than preprandial groups (P < 0.01). In addition, SPX mRNA expression in forebrain was significantly decreased (P < 0.01) during fasting for a week and sharply increased (P < 0.01) after refeeding on the 7th day, and then return to normal level on the 9th day. These results point toward that SPX mRNA expression is regulated by metabolic status or feeding conditions in Ya-fish. 相似文献

IGF-I is a mitogenic polypeptide that is an important regulator of growth in fish. The potential of IGF-I mRNA abundance as a rapid growth indicator in the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, was evaluated. Hepatic IGF-I cDNA was isolated and partially cloned. The partial sequence having 539 bases encodes for the signal peptide, mature protein and a portion of the E domain. The deduced 68 amino acid sequence for mature IGF-I showed 84–90% and 77–79% sequence identity with fish and mammalian counterparts, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence for domains B and A was most conserved (93–97%) relative to other fishes. A sensitive TaqMan real time qRT-PCR assay for O. niloticus was developed based on the mature IGF-I peptide for measures of hepatic IGF-I mRNA levels. Hepatic IGF-I mRNA levels were found to be significantly correlated with growth rate of fish reared under different feeding regimes and temperature conditions. Higher feed consumption and water temperature produced faster-growing fish and increased hepatic IGF-I mRNA expression. These findings suggest that hepatic-derived IGF-I plays a key role in controlling growth in O. niloticus and indicates that IGF-I mRNA quantification could prove useful for the rapid assessment of growth rate in this species. 相似文献

The solute carrier family 7A, member 7 gene encodes the light chain- y+L amino acid transporter-1 (y+LAT1) of the heterodimeric carrier responsible for cationic amino acid (CAA) transport across the basolateral membranes of epithelial cells in intestine and kidney. Rising attention has been given to y+LAT1 involved in CAA metabolic pathways and growth control. The molecular characterization and function analysis of y+LAT1 in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is currently unknown. In the present study, full-length cDNA (2,688 bp), which encodes y+LAT1 and contains a 5′-untranslated region (319 bp), an open reading frame (1,506 bp) and a 3′-untranslated region (863 bp), has been cloned from grass carp. Amino acid sequence of grass carp y+LAT1 contains 11 transmembrane domains and shows 95 %, 80 % and 75 % sequence similarity to zebra fish, amphibian and mammalian y+LAT1, respectively. The tissue distribution and expression regulation by fasting of y+LAT1 mRNA were analyzed using real-time PCR. Our results showed that y+LAT1 mRNA was highly expressed in midgut, foregut and spleen while weakly expressed in hindgut, kidney, gill, brain, heart, liver and muscle. Nutritional status significantly influenced y+LAT1 mRNA expression in fish tissues, such as down-regulation of y+LAT1 mRNA expression after fasting (14 days). 相似文献

Neuropeptide Y receptor Y8 (NPY8R) is a fish-specific receptor, whose role in feeding regulation remains poorly understood. In the present study, two subtypes of NPY8R (NPY8Ra and NPY8Rb) were identified in Chinese perch, and their amino acid sequences were highly conserved in fish. The predicted tertiary protein structures of human NPY1R, Chinese perch NPY8Ra, and NPY8Rb tended to be conserved as a whole. However, the predicted tertiary protein structures of sc-NPY8Ra and sc-NPY8Rb were different at several sites. Chinese perch NPY8Ra and NPY8Rb were mainly expressed in brain. Intracerebroventricular administration of siRNA-NPY8Rb significantly decreased the mRNA expression levels of NPY8Rb and POMC (appetite-suppressive gene) and significantly increased the food intake of Chinese perch at 2 h and 8 h after injection. Similar result has not been observed in the siRNA-NPY8Ra administration group. The above results suggested that NPY8Ra might not play a role in appetite regulation and NPY8Rb might be an effector in the negative feedback regulation of feeding in Chinese perch.

为探究神经肽Y (neuropeptide Y, NPY)在黄条鰤 (Seriola aureovittata)摄食调控中的作用及机制,本研究采用同源克隆的方法获得了黄条鰤 npy基因的开放阅读框(ORF)序列,并利用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析了npy基因的组织分布以及其对饥饿再投喂的应答特性。黄条鰤 npy基因ORF序列长度为300 bp,编码99个氨基酸的前体蛋白,其中包括28个氨基酸的信号肽、36个氨基酸的成熟肽。氨基酸序列同源性比对发现,黄条鰤 npy编码的氨基酸序列与斑马鱼(Danio rerio)等其他硬骨鱼高度保守(>90%);系统进化树分析表明,黄条鰤 npy与高体鰤 (Seriola dumerili)的关系最近。npy mRNA在所检测的12种组织中均有表达,其中,在脑组织表达量最高,在垂体和胃中表达量次之。在饥饿再投喂实验中,饥饿刺激了npy mRNA的表达,特别是饥饿21 d时,实验组垂体npy mRNA表达量显著高于对照组,再投喂7 d后恢复到对照组水平。上述结果表明,npy可能参与了黄条鰤的摄食调控,在饥饿代谢补偿机制中发挥了重要作用。 相似文献

A 60‐day feeding trial was conducted to examine the effects of different levels (0, 100, 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg) of antimicrobial peptides on growth, protease activity of foregut, the morphology of foregut villi and related genes mRNA expression level in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The results showed that the feed of antimicrobial peptides promote common carp growth, and the optimal dosage of antimicrobial peptides is 200–333 mg/kg in the common carp feed. The protease activity of 200 and 400 mg/kg groups were significantly higher than the control and other groups (p < 0.05). The foregut villus height with 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg antimicrobial peptide groups were significantly higher than control group (p < 0.05). The crypt depth of 200 and 400 mg/kg antimicrobial peptide groups were significantly lower than control group (p < 0.05). The ratio of villus height and crypt depth of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg antimicrobial peptide groups were significantly higher than control group (p < 0.05). The ratio with 600 mg/kg group was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05). The IGF‐I gene expression level of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg groups were significantly higher than the control group and 600 mg/kg group (p < 0.05). The IL‐1β gene expression level of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg groups were significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05). These results indicated up‐regulation of growth and immune related genes in antimicrobial peptides fed common carp. Correlation analysis showed that IGF‐I mRNA and IL‐1β mRNA were positively correlated with SGR. IL‐1β mRNA and FCR were significantly negative correlated. It indicated that growth and immune gene common regulated the growth of the carp under antimicrobial peptides intervention. In conclusion, antimicrobial peptides can improve growth and related genes mRNA expression in the common carp. Further studies using molecular biological technique or immunologic methods are required to conclude that antimicrobial peptides are beneficial in common carp. 相似文献

The presence of a peptide closely related to porcine NPY has been demonstrated in the goldfish brain and pituitary by means
of radioimmunoassay (RIA) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The RIA data demonstrate that displacement curves
of brain extracts are parallel to a porcine NPY standard and that in HPLC a compound present in brain extracts is co-eluted
with porcine NPY. The distribution of this NPY-like factor within the central nervous system was studied by radioimmunoassay
and immunohistochemistry. The results indicated that NPY has a widespread distribution with the highest concentrations being
found in the telencephalon and diencephalon. In the pituitary gland, NPY immunoreactive terminals characterized at the electron
microscope level were found in the different lobes and, in particular, in close association with the gonadotrophin (GTH) secreting
cells. Using anin vitro perifusion system, it was shown that NPY causes a dose dependent increase of GTH release from anterior lobe fragments.
These data indicate for the first time in teleosts that NPY is present and widely distributed in the brain and pituitary,
and that among other putative functions, could be implicated in the multihormonal release of GTH from the pituitary. 相似文献

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a multi-functional brain–gut peptide in fish and mammals. To investigate the role of CCK in appetite regulation in fish, a 770-bp full-length cDNA sequence of CCK gene was obtained by RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends methods in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus. Homology analysis showed that the CCK cDNA sequence of grass carp had the highest similarity (90 %) to that of goldfish Carassius auratus and a higher similarity (>70 %) to those of other teleosts than to mammals. The PCR amplification using genomic DNA identified that the CCK gene of grass carp was comprised of three exons and two introns. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect CCK mRNA expression in adult tissues. High levels of gene expression were found in the hypothalamus and pituitary; moderate levels in the intestine, muscle and white adipose tissue; and low levels in other tissues. During early development (i.e., fertilized eggs to 35-day post-hatching larvae) the levels of CCK mRNA expression were higher during embryonic developmental stages than during post-hatch larval stages. Fasting decreased CCK mRNA expression levels in the brain and intestine, whereas refeeding resulted in an increase of expression. The results suggest that CCK mRNA expression has obvious tissue specificity and may have a role in feed intake regulation in grass carp. 相似文献

In vertebrates, a significant part of ingested protein is absorbed as di- and tripeptides through a brush border membrane proton/oligopeptide transporter protein called PepT1. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of short-term food deprivation and refeeding in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) on gastrointestinal mRNA expression of PepT1 as well as on the satiety hormones cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and ghrelin (GHR) in order to elucidate a potential mechanism driving compensatory growth. Sixty adult zebrafish were stocked in a 40-L aquarium and fed daily a commercial flake diet to satiation for 10?days where the digestive tracts (DT) of sampled fish (n?=?5) were dissected out. Samplings were repeated following 1, 2 and 5?days of food deprivation and after 1, 2 and 5?days of refeeding. The RNA was extracted from all sampled DTs and analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR for the mRNA expression of PepT1, rRNA 18S, CCK, GRP and GHR. PepT1 mRNA expression increased with successive refeedings reaching a level approximately 8 times higher than pre-fast levels. CCK, GRP and GHR mRNA levels also decreased during fasting, but increased only to pre-fasting levels with refeeding. Overall, the results suggest that PepT1 may be a contributing mechanism to compensatory growth that could influence CCK secretion and GRP and GHR activity. 相似文献

A full-length cDNA encoding the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) was cloned from the liver of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) by RT-PCR. The IGFBP-3 cDNA sequence is 1,680 bp long and has an open reading frame of 882 bp encoding a predicted polypeptide of 293 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence contains a putative signal peptide of 25 amino acid residues resulting in a mature protein of 268 amino acids. A single band of approximate 1.9 kb was found in liver by Northern blot analysis. IGFBP-3 mRNA was observed in all regions of brain with high levels. In peripheral tissues, high levels of IGFBP-3 mRNA were found in retina, red muscle, liver, heart, posterior intestine, spleen, and testis. Relatively lower levels were found in white muscle, kidney, thymus gland, and ovary, while in head kidney, blood, skin, gill, middle intestine, and anterior intestine, the IGFBP-3 mRNA levels were much lower. IGFBP-3 mRNA was first detected in the blastula stage with significantly high level. The level sharply decreased in gastrula stage, and it became to increase in the following stages. During the reproductive cycle, the abundance of IGFBP-3 mRNA significantly decreased between the recrudescing stage and the matured stage in ovary, although in testis, IGFBP-3 mRNA expression level did not exhibit a significant change. The mRNA expression profiles in the present study imply that the IGFBP-3 may play important physiological functions in common carp development and reproduction. 相似文献

A 10‐week feeding experiment in indoor flow‐through seawater system was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary krill hydrolysate on the expression of growth‐related genes in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.; initial body weight 9.45 ± 0.01 g). Three isonitrogenous and isolipidic experimental diets containing high plant protein were formulated to contain 0 (control), 50 g/kg (LKH) and 100 g/kg (HKH) krill protein hydrolysate (KH) to replace fishmeal, respectively. Triplicate groups of 30 fish were fed for 10 weeks to apparent satiation twice daily. At the end of the feeding trial, the mRNA expressions of insulin‐like growth factor (IGF‐1) gene in liver, peptide transporters (PepT1) gene in pyloric caeca and proximal intestine and neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene in brain in all groups were determined. IGF‐1, PepT1 and NPY expression levels in HKH group were significantly increased compared with those of LKH and control (p < 0.05), which was consistent with the SGR, feed efficiency, PER and PPV. These results indicated that dietary 100 g/kg krill hydrolysate could improve growth performance and upregulate the mRNA expression of IGF‐1, PepT1 and NPY genes in juvenile turbot. 相似文献

Aquaculture practices bring several stressful events to fish. Stressors not only activate the hypothalamus–pituitary–interrenal-axis, but also evoke cellular stress responses. Up-regulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is among the best studied mechanisms of the cellular stress response. An extract of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica), Pro-Tex, a soluble variant of TEX-OE®, may induce expression of HSPs and reduce negative effects of cellular stress. Pro-Tex therefore is used to ameliorate conditions during stressful aquaculture-related practices. We tested Pro-Tex in zebrafish (Danio rerio), common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) exposed to aquaculture-relevant stressors (thermal stress, net confinement, transport) and assessed its effects on stress physiology. Heat shock produced a mild increase in hsp70 mRNA expression in 5-day-old zebrafish larvae. Pro-Tex increased basal hsp70 mRNA expression, but decreased heat-shock-induced expression of hsp70 mRNA. In carp, Pro-Tex increased plasma cortisol and glucose levels, while it did not affect the mild stress response (increased plasma cortisol and glucose) to net confinement. In gills, and proximal and distal intestine, stress increased hsp70 mRNA expression; in the distal intestine, an additive enhancement of hsp70 mRNA expression by Pro-Tex was seen under stress. In yellowtail kingfish, Pro-Tex reduced the negative physiological effects of transport more efficiently than when fish were sedated with AQUI-S®. Overall, our data indicate that Pro-Tex has protective effects under high levels of stress only. As Pro-Tex has potential for use in aquaculture, its functioning and impact on health and welfare of fish should be further studied. 相似文献

研究全氟辛烷磺酸类物质(PFOS)暴露对剑尾鱼肝脏Cu/Zn-SOD及相关应激基因表达的影响,探讨筛选导致体内氧化应激反应的敏感生物标志物,并首次克隆和分析剑尾鱼Cu/Zn-SOD的cDNA全序列。实验将剑尾鱼随机分为5组,包括对照组和3.5、7.0、14.0和28.0mg/L等4个PFOS实验暴露组,同时设置平行组。定量测定了24 h、48 h、96 h和14 d肝脏组织中的Cu/Zn-SOD、HSP70-1、HSP70-2和GST mRNA表达水平的变化,成功克隆包含794 bp核苷酸和编码154个氨基酸的剑尾鱼Cu/Zn-SOD的cDNA全序列。通过与其他相关鱼类Cu/Zn-SOD的核苷酸序列和氨基酸序列相似性比较发现,核苷酸和氨基酸序列相似性分别达到77%~83%和79%~88%。高浓度PFOS暴露后,剑尾鱼肝脏中与应激相关的各种基因发生不同程度的变化。通过RT-PCR技术检测Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA表达在剂量效应上不显著,Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA表达和SOD活性之间并没有相关性,推断是其他类型的SOD基因在PFOS暴露下发挥更为重要的作用。随着暴露时间的持续延长,Cu/Zn-SOD基因的转录水平变化趋势与SOD活性变化及HSP70-1 mRNA表达相一致,表明HSP70通过提高剑尾鱼体内SOD水平以保护机体免受氧化损伤。HSP70-2 mRNA水平比HSP70-1 mRNA表达更加敏感。HSP70-2变化趋势与Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA表达相关性不强,其相关机制有待进一步研究。G ST mRNA表达呈不断上升趋势,这与Nrf2信号传导途径有关,也可能是机体在应对PFOS进入鱼体后的一种防御措施。剑尾鱼在体实验表明,PFOS能够诱导肝脏氧化应激反应,GST mRNA和HSP70-2 mRNA表达可以作为PFOS暴露的敏感生物标志物。 相似文献

High larval mortalities and anatomical deformities are among the major obstacles restricting the development of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) aquaculture. The immune system of cod larvae is poorly developed at hatch, and innate immune parameters are therefore of importance for defence against environmental microorganisms. Two separate experiments were conducted with bioencapsulation of the live feed of cod larvae using a pollock (Pollachius virens) protein hydrolysate. Offering peptide enhanced live feed to larvae during the first weeks of exogenous feeding promoted larval development, with reduced incidence of severe deformities to 3.0% as compared with 9.6% deformities observed in the control group at 160 days posthatch. The production and distribution of IgM and lysozyme were furthermore increased in larvae fed peptide enhanced feed compared with control larvae. IgM was predominantly detected in the foregut and the epithelial lining of the digestive tract as well as in the epidermal mucus of the skin. Lysozyme was mainly detected in the epidermal mucus of the skin and in the foregut. Overall, the results indicate that live feed enhancement using a protein hydrolysate derived from pollock may reduce deformities and promote normal development during early production stages of cod larvae. 相似文献

Spexin (SPX), a novel neuropeptide discovered by the bioinformatics approach, has been shown to exert pleiotropic functions in mammals. However, little information regarding the physiological role of SPX is available in teleosts. As a first step, we cloned the spexin gene from a flatfish, the half-smooth tongue sole. The open reading frame (ORF) of tongue sole spexin contained 363 nucleotides encoding a 120 amino acid (aa) preprohormone with a calculated molecular mass and isoelectric point of 14.06 kDa and 5.86, respectively. The tongue sole SPX precursor contained a 27 aa signal peptide and a 14 aa mature peptide flanked by two dibasic protein cleavage sites (RR and GRR). Tissue distribution analysis showed that spexin mRNA could be detected in various tissues, notably in the brain. In addition, fasting stimulated the hypothalamic expression of spexin mRNA. Intraperitoneal injection of SPX increased gnih and gnrh3 mRNA levels in the hypothalamus; however, SPX inhibited the pituitary expression of gh, fshβ, and gthα mRNAs. Overall, our results reveal the existence of a functional SPX in the tongue sole, which could represent an important factor in the neuroendocrine control of flatfish reproduction and growth, and the spexin mRNA expression is regulated by feeding status. 相似文献
