“…In the present study, some of the mature oocytes contained more yolk granules than the control clams. This was in accordance with Boulangé-Lecomte et al (2017), who stated that levels of the egg yolk precursor protein vitellogenin increased gradually as females of the copepod, Eurytemora affinis mature and have been broadly accepted as a biomarker for endocrine disruption. Increased numbers of the early developmental stages of female oogonia (primary and secondary) more than mature ones was a sign of BPA exposure in the current work.…”

Freshwater bivalves play important ecological roles, especially in shallow waters; rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Bivalves are widely used to assess environmental pollution because they respond with measurable physiological and morphological change. Additionally, they cannot escape pollution and therefore serve as sessile bioindicators. So, they can tolerate and accumulate high levels of heavy metals, pesticides and hormonal disrupting chemicals and then show signs of pathology (

“…Most differential expression reports are based on directly related genes, which are used as molecular markers ( Bae et al, 2017 ; Boulangé-Lecomte et al, 2017 ; Chen et al, 2017 ). The differences in the relative expression of the genes in both groups were of several orders of magnitude, with Vtg being the most highly expressed, as expected.…”

“…Molecular studies on crustacean reproduction primarily focus on gene characterization, as well as mRNA expression and transcriptome analyses of different vitellogenesis stages; which involves vitelline protein production via endoproteolysis of vitellogenin (Vtg; i.e., the precursor of vitelline protein). Therefore, Vtg is the most studied reproduction-related gene due to its role as the most important nutrient source for embryo development ( Thongda et al, 2015 ; Boulangé-Lecomte et al, 2017 ; Jimenez-Gutierrez et al, 2019 ).…”

Shrimp fisheries are among the most important fisheries worldwide, and shrimp culture has increased considerably in recent years. Most current studies on reproduction-related genes have been conducted on cultured shrimp. However, gene expression is intimately linked to physiological and environmental conditions, and therefore an organism’s growth environment has a great influence on reproduction. Thus, gene expression profiling, should be applied in fisheries studies. Here, we identified the expression patterns of 76 reproduction-related genes in P. vannamei via the analysis of pooled transcriptomes from a time-series experiment encompassing a full circadian cycle. The expression patterns of genes associated both directly (Vtg, ODP, and ProR) and indirectly (FAMet, CruA1, and CruC1) with reproduction were evaluated, as these genes could be used as molecular markers of previtellogenic and vitellogenic maturation stages. The evaluated genes were prominently upregulated during vitellogenic stages, with specific expression patterns depending on the organism’s environment, diet, and season. Vtg, ProR, ODP, and FaMet could serve as molecular markers for both wild and cultured organisms.

“…To identify the crustacean genomes in the Genome Database from NCBI, the keyword "crustacean" was used. Then, the Vtg gene sequences were identified using the keyword "Vitellogenin" in Genomedata Base whereas the mRNAs were determined from the "GenBank Database" using the same keywords (Benson et al, 2005). To construct the Vtg and Vtg crustacean database, the complete open reading frame (ORF) sequences were used, and partial sequences were discarded.…”

“…Crustacea have different sexual systems, each aimed at achieving maximum reproduction efficiency in their specific situation. In oviparous species, ovary maturation comprises the synthesis of yolk protein denoted as Vitellin (Vn), which is the most important source of energy and nutrients for embryo development (Boulangé-Lecomte et al, 2017). Vn is produced through the endoproteolysis of its precursor Vitellogenin (Vtg), and both proteins are immunologically similar Zmora et al, 2007;Xie et al, 2009).…”

Crustacean vitellogenin: a systematic and experimental analysis of their genes, genomes, mRNAs and proteins; and perspective to Next Generation Sequencing

Crustacean vitellogenesis is a process that involves Vitellin, produced via endoproteolysis of its precursor, which is designated as Vitellogenin (Vtg). The Vtg gene, mRNA and protein regulation involve several environmental factors and physiological processes, including gonadal maturation and moult stages, among others. Once the Vtg gene, mRNAs and protein are obtained, it is possible to establish the relationship between the elements that participate in their regulation, which could either be species-specific, or tissue-specific. This work is a systematic analysis that compares the similarities and differences of Vtg genes, mRNA and Vtg between the crustacean species reported in databases with respect to that obtained from the transcriptome of Callinectes arcuatus, C. toxotes, Penaeus stylirostris and P. vannamei obtained with MiSeq sequencing technology from Illumina. Those analyses confirm that the Vtg obtained from selected species will serve to understand the process of vitellogenesis in crustaceans that is important for fisheries and aquaculture. RESUMENLa vitelogénesis de los crustáceos es un proceso que involucra la vitelina, producida a través de la endoproteólisis de su precursor llamado Vitelogenina (Vtg). La regulación del gen Vtg, los ARNm y la Vtg involucra factores ambientales y procesos fisiológicos, incluyendo: maduración gonadal, etapas de muda, entre otros. Con el gen Vtg, los ARNm y la proteína obtenidos, es posible correlacionar los elementos que participan en su regulación, pudiendo ser especie-específicos o tejido-específicos. Este trabajo es un análisis sistemático que compara las similitudes y diferencias
