Gene expression analyses in malformed skeletal structures of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)

Abstract: The incidence of skeletal anomalies in reared fish has been translated for years in important economic losses for the aquaculture industry. In the present study, we have analysed the gene expression of extracellular matrix components and transcription factors involved in bone development in gilthead sea bream presenting different skeletal anomalies: lordosis (LD), lordosis–scoliosis–kyphosis (LSK) or opercular, dental or jaw malformations in comparison with control (CT) specimens. Results showed a possible lin… Show more

“…In gilthead sea bream, osteocalcin appearance at around 30 days post-hatching coincides with the onset of skeleton mineralization ( 245 ), and the levels of expression at that time are greatly induced in response to increased incubation temperature during embryogenesis ( 262 ), which can be related with accelerated growth and the appearance of skeletal abnormalities. Indeed, inverse correlation between malformation severity and osteocalcin levels have been reported in fish ( 263 265 ). These evidences are supported by the knockout mice study in which osteocalcin deficiency led to higher bone mass by increased and accelerated bone formation ( 266 ).…”

“…In this regeneration study, a regulatory role for myostatin could also be hypothesized, since bone decreased mstn2 expression by day 4 in response to the muscle injury possibly to allow proper muscle remodeling, thus giving more insights of the importance of myostatin between the bone and muscle crosstalk in fish. Finally, the ECM marker on showed a progressive increase during regeneration with the maximum expression reached at day 30 coinciding with the highest expression observed for on at the end of in vitro and in vivo osteogenesis in gilthead sea bream according to its key role regulating the later stages of tissue development ( 33 , 92 ). In summary, these results open a promising new line of research to study the possible crosstalk between bone and muscle in fish to regulate skeletal muscle development and growth.…”

“…The bmp2 and ctsk genes showed an early activation of expression at days 1 and 2 post-injury, respectively, although bmp2 expression decreased at day 8 recovering basal levels at the end of the experiment. This early upregulation of bmp2 could be related to the highest expression found for this molecule at the beginning of embryonic development in gilthead sea bream ( 92 ), but also to situations in which bone (and muscle) growth is stimulated, such as for example in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) reared at elevated water temperatures ( 93 ). Moreover, the peak of expression of ctsk at day 2 resembled the increase in expression observed after 20 days of fasting ( 57 ) suggesting that ctsk and therefore, bone resorption, may have a role in muscle remodeling after stressful conditions.…”

“…Malformations are congenital in origin, occurring early in development, and deformities occur on previously formed structures. Malformations can be caused by a variety of factors in a hatchery setting including genetics (Riera-Heredia, Velez, Gutierrez, Navarro, & Capilla, 2019;Sadler, Pankhurst, & King, 2001), the environment (e.g., improper water temperature, toxins, and so on; Koumoundouros et al, 1997;Sfakianakis, Georgakopoulou, Papadakis, Divanach, & Kentouri, and M., Koumoundouros, G., 2006;Cobcroft & Battaglene, 2009), nutrition (e.g., excesses or deficiencies; Takeuchi, 2014;Fjelldal et al, 2016;Shefat, 2018), and husbandry (e.g., density, physical trauma, excessive water currents, and so on; .…”
