Interacting Effects of Cell Size and Temperature on Gene Expression, Growth, Development and Swimming Performance in Larval Zebrafish

Abstract: Cell size may be important in understanding the thermal biology of ectotherms, as the regulation and consequences of cell size appear to be temperature dependent. Using a recently developed model system of triploid zebrafish (which have around 1.5-fold larger cells than their diploid counterparts) we examine the effects of cell size on gene expression, growth, development and swimming performance in zebrafish larvae at different temperatures. Both temperature and ploidy affected the expression of genes related… Show more

“…When an activity of the Na + /K + ATPase was inhibited, the metabolic difference between diploids and triploids was abolished, suggesting that less energy is required to maintain plasma membrane potential in triploids due to the lower cell surface area to volume ratio. Also, the similar low metabolic phenotypes of polyploid cells were consistent with the data in yeast [88] and zebrafish [93]. It would be important to confirm whether the metabolic rate alteration contributes to the higher stress resistance of polyploid cells especially to radiation tolerance.…”

“…However, it remains unclear whether the observed CS activity following stress exposure is attributable to ploidy, as studies of CS activity within other taxa have produced mixed results. For example, triploid zebrafish displayed the same CS enzyme activity following temperature stress (van de Pol et al, 2021), while triploid white sturgeon displayed a marked decrease with respect to diploids (Leal et al, 2019). Nevertheless, meaningful differences in standard metabolic rate were observed across ploidy within this study, with triploids decreasing and diploids increasing oxygen consumption following multiple stress exposure (Figure 3F).…”

“…In addition, the cells were significantly reduced in size when the temperature was increased by both 5 • C and 8 • C. Cell size is an important feature for understanding the thermal biology of ectotherms, as the regulation and consequences of cell size appear to be temperature-dependent [30][31][32][33]. Thus, the surface-to-volume ratio is greater in smaller cells than in larger cells of the same shape.…”
