Withering syndrome susceptibility of northeastern Pacific abalones: A complex relationship with phylogeny and thermal experience.

Population declines in wild and cultured abalones (Haliotis spp.) due to a bacterial disease called withering syndrome (WS) have been documented along the northeastern Pacific Ocean. However, observed differences in species susceptibility to the disease are not well understood. Here, we examined the susceptibility of three temperate abalone species, the cool water (4-14 °C) pinto or northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana), the intermediate water (8-18 °C) red abalone (H. rufescens), and the warm water (12-23 °C) pink abalone (H. corrugata), to experimental WS infection at temperatures facilitating disease proliferation. Mortality data paired with histological and molecular detection of the WS pathogen confirmed that these abalone species exhibit different levels of susceptibility to infection and resistance to WS development ranging from high susceptibility and low resistance in pinto abalone to moderate/low susceptibility and resistance in red and pink abalones. The temperature associated with WS induced mortalities also varied among species: pinto abalone died at the lowest experimental temperature (17.32 ± 0.09 °C), while red abalone died at an intermediate temperature (17.96 ± 0.16 °C), and pink abalone required the highest temperature (18.84 ± 0.16 °C). When data from the current and previous studies were examined, susceptibility to WS was inversely related to phylogenetic distance from white abalone (H. sorenseni), which had the highest susceptibility and lowest resistance of all abalone species tested prior to the current study. These results provide further evidence that an abalone's thermal optima and phylogenetic relationship can determine its susceptibility to WS; species with cool water evolutionary histories are most susceptible to WS and the most susceptible species appear to be closely related. Differences among the thermal ranges of abalone species have broad implications for WS disease dynamics and highlight the importance of understanding the mechanisms governing the abalone-WS relationship in order to properly manage declining abalone populations.

Structural characterization and osteogenic bioactivity of a sulfated polysaccharide from pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino)

Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) is known to promote osteogenesis. To find novel adjuvants to enhance the activity of BMP-2, the present study investigated the structure BMP-2-induced osteogenic activity of a water-soluble polysaccharide from the gonad of pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino) named AGSP. Through analysis of aldobiouronic acids released from AGSP, monosaccharide composition comparison of AGSP and its reduced product, and methylation analysis and NMR analysis of AGSP and its desulfated derivative, the main structure residue of AGSP was determined as →3)-GlcA(1→3)-Gal(1→ with sulfated branches comprised of prevelant Gal and minor Glc, and →4)-β-GlcA(1→2)-α-Man(1→ residue was also found. AGSP possessed a sulfate content of 12.4% with a relative molecular weight of 6.6kDa. AGSP strengthened alkaline phosphatase activity induced by BMP-2 in a dose dependent manner at 10–200μg/mL with 425% enhancement being observed at 200μg/mL, indicating AGSP could be an adjuvant candidate to enhance osteogenic activity of BMP-2.

ITRAQ-Based Identification of Proteins Related to Muscle Growth in the Pacific Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai.

The abalone Haliotis discus hannai is an important aquaculture species that is grown for human consumption. However, little is known of the genetic mechanisms governing muscle growth in this species, particularly with respect to proteomics. The isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) method allows for sensitive and accurate protein quantification. Our study was the first to use iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics to investigate muscle growth regulation in H. discus hannai. Among the 1904 proteins identified from six samples, 125 proteins were differentially expressed in large specimens of H. discus hannai as compared to small specimens. In the large specimens, 47 proteins were upregulated and 78 were downregulated. Many of the significant Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, including these differentially expressed proteins, were closely related to muscle growth, including apoptosis, thyroid hormone signaling, regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and viral myocarditis (p < 0.05). Our quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses suggested that the alterations in expression levels observed in the differentially expressed proteins were consistent with the alterations observed in the encoding mRNAs, indicating the repeatability of our proteomic approach. Our findings contribute to the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of muscle growth in H. discus hannai.

Genome Sequences of a Novel Picorna-Like Virus from Pacific Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) in South Korea.

ABSTRACTWe report the draft genome sequences of a novel member of the Picornavirales isolated from Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai). The full length of the assembled draft genome sequences, obtained by use of a next-generation sequencing technique, were 8,019 nucleotides, including an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene (5,088 nucleotides) and a capsid protein gene (2,553 nucleotides). This genome sequence will be useful for understanding viral disease of Pacific abalone.

Complete nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence analysis of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai

Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai (Haliotidae, Gastropoda) is an economically important shellfish species in northern China. The complete nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) of Pacific abalone was amplified, sequenced, and analyzed. The length of the nrDNA was determined to be around 10.7 kb, and to contain, in order, small subunit ribosomal RNA (nrSSU) genes (1871 bp), internal transcribed spacer (ITS, 759–762 bp), large subunit ribosomal RNA (nrLSU) gene (3411 bp), and an intergenic spacer (IGS, 4624–4654 bp). The SSU and LSU regions were almost identical in different individuals, and show little variation from those of other abalone species. The two different variations of the ITS2 region were presented, and this phenomenon also existed in other species. A phylogeny tree was constructed, based on ITS region sequence datasets, to determine the evolutionary relationships of abalones. Abalones have two major subclades, mainly distributed in the North Pacific, Europe and Australia. The IGS region of the nrDNA was sequenced and analyzed for the first time. Several repeat fragments were present upstream of the sequence, and were significantly different between individuals (93.86% sequence identity). The complete nrDNA sequence will be useful for the classification, identification, phylogeny, germplasm management, and breeding of this shellfish.

Molecular cloning of metal-responsive transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) and transcriptional responses to metal and heat stresses in Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai

BackgroundMetal-responsive transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) is a key transcriptional regulator playing crucial roles in metal homeostasis and cellular adaptation to diverse oxidative stresses. In order to understand cellular pathways associated with metal regulation and stress responses in Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai), this study was aimed to isolate the genetic determinant of abalone MTF-1 and to examine its expression characteristics under basal and experimentally stimulated conditions.ResultsThe abalone MTF-1 shared conserved features in zinc-finger DNA binding domain with its orthologs; however, it represented a non-conservative shape in presumed transactivation domain region with the lack of typical motifs for nuclear export signal (NES) and Cys-cluster. Abalone MTF-1 promoter exhibited various transcription factor binding motifs that would be potentially related with metal regulation, stress responses, and development. The highest messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of MTF-1 was observed in the testes, and MTF-1 transcripts were detected during the entire period of embryonic and early ontogenic developments. Abalone MTF-1 was found to be Cd inducible and highly modulated by heat shock treatment.ConclusionAbalone MTF-1 possesses a non-consensus structure of activation domains and represents distinct features for its activation mechanism in response to metal overload and heat stress. The activation mechanism of abalone MTF-1 might include both indirect zinc sensing and direct de novo synthesis of transcripts. Taken together, results from this study could be a useful basis for future researches on stress physiology of this abalone species, particularly with regard to heavy metal detoxification and thermal adaptation.

Absorption and degradation of sulfated polysaccharide from pacific abalone in in vitro and in vivo models

Various bioactivities of sulfated polysaccharides have been demonstrated, but the exact mechanisms involved are still unclear, which can be mainly attributed to a lack of recognition of polysaccharides metabolism in vivo. To define action mechanisms of sulfated polysaccharide from pacific abalone (AGSP), its metabolic characteristics were first evaluated in a mice model. The result showed that AGSP was hard to be absorbed into plasma, and most might be excreted from the body via feces. The in vitro models showed that human digestive juices had no effects on AGSP, and AGSP could exert its bioactivities by modulating the gut microbiota composition. It was noteworthy that small AGSP fragment was also hard to be absorbed by the body. In summary, this study demonstrated that various bioactivities of AGSP could be mainly attributed to the modulation of the gut microbiota rather than direct action on body organs far away from the digestive tract.

Effects of temperature and salinity on survival, growth and DNA methylation of juvenile Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino

Temperature and salinity are two of the most potent abiotic factors influencing marine mollusks. In this study, we investigated the individual and combined effects of temperature and salinity on the survival and growth of juvenile Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino, and also examined the DNA methylation alteration that may underpin the phenotypic variation of abalone exposed to different rearing conditions. The single-factor data showed that the suitable ranges of temperature and salinity were 16–28°C at a constant salinity of 32, and 24–40 at a constant temperature of 20°C, respectively. The two-factor data indicated that both survival and growth were significantly affected by temperature, salinity and their interaction. The optimal temperature-salinity combination for juveniles was 23–25°C and 30–36. To explore environment-induced DNA methylation alteration, the methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) technique was used to analyze the genomic methylation profiles of abalone reared in optimal and adverse conditions. Neither temperature nor salinity induced evident changes in the global methylation level, but 67 and 63 differentially methylated loci were identified in temperature and salinity treatments, respectively. The between-group eigen analysis also showed that both temperature and salinity could induce epigenetic differentiation in H. discus hannai Ino. The results of our study provide optimal rearing conditions for juvenile H. discus hannai Ino, and represent the first step toward revealing the epigenetic regulatory mechanism of abalone in response to thermal and salt stresses.

Characterization and spatiotemporal expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a key neuropeptide regulating reproduction in humans and other vertebrates. Recently, GnRH-like cDNAs and peptides were reported in marine mollusks, implying that GnRH-mediated reproduction is an ancient neuroendocrine system that arose prior to the divergence of protostomes and deuterostomes. Here, we evaluated the reproductive control system mediated by GnRH in the Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai. We cloned a prepro-GnRH cDNA (Hdh-GnRH) from the pleural-pedal ganglion (PPG) in H. discus hannai, and analyzed its spatiotemporal gene expression pattern. The open reading frame of Hdh-GnRH encodes a protein of 101 amino acids, consisting of a signal peptide, a GnRH dodecapeptide, a cleavage site, and a GnRH-associated peptide. This structure and sequence are highly similar to GnRH-like peptides reported for mollusks and other invertebrates. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that Hdh-GnRH mRNA was more strongly expressed in the ganglions (PPG and cerebral ganglion [CG]) than in other tissues (gonads, gills, intestine, hemocytes, muscle, and mantle) in both sexes. In females, the expression levels of Hdh-GnRH mRNA in the PPG and branchial ganglion (BG) were significantly higher at the ripe and partial spent stages than at the early and late active stages. In males, Hdh-GnRH mRNA levels in the BG showed a significant increase in the partial spent stage. Unexpectedly, Hdh-GnRH levels in the CG were not significantly different among the examined stages in both sexes. These results suggest that Hdh-GnRH mRNA expression profiles in the BG and possibly the PPG are tightly correlated with abalone reproductive activities.

Effects of artificial selection practices on loss of genetic diversity in the Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai

The Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino, is one of most important aquaculture species in China. Artificial selection has been the common and inevitable approach in breeding. In present study, the effect of artificial selection on the genetic structure of two abalone lines (JJ selection strain, three successive selection lines based on the fast-growing trait, which was named JJF0, JJF1, JJF2, and JJF3; and R selection strain, the offspring of the red shell colored variants) were evaluated using 10 microsatellites. Loci showed from low to high polymorphism, with the number of alleles (A) ranging from 2 to 18 in each population. The mean observed (Ho) and expected heterozygosities (He) were 0.650 ± 0.022 and 0.711 ± 0.018, respectively. In selection strain JJ, the values for most diversity genetic indexes (Ae, the number of effective alleles, Ho and He) decreased from JJF0 to JJF3. Meanwhile, compared to JJ line, the genetic diversity estimates of R were close to those of JJF3. Nei's genetic distance ranged from 0.20357 to 0.51346. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean tree based on Nei's genetic distance also showed that the control Japan population and JJF0 formed to a cluster firstly, which were subsequently grouped together with JJF1, JJF2, JJF3, whereas the R was isolated from the rest of the populations. Analysis of genetic information indicated that genetic diversity was lost with artificial selection practices. Mechanisms underlying the maintenance of an acceptable level of genetic diversity while pursuing economic interests should be conducted in future research studies.

Alternative Splicing Profile and Sex-Preferential Gene Expression in the Female and Male Pacific Abalone Haliotis discus hannai

In order to characterize the female or male transcriptome of the Pacific abalone and further increase genomic resources, we sequenced the mRNA of full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) libraries derived from pooled tissues of female and male Haliotis discus hannai by employing the Iso-Seq protocol of the PacBio RSII platform. We successfully assembled whole full-length cDNA sequences and constructed a transcriptome database that included isoform information. After clustering, a total of 15,110 and 12,145 genes that coded for proteins were identified in female and male abalones, respectively. A total of 13,057 putative orthologs were retained from each transcriptome in abalones. Overall Gene Ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways analyzed in each database showed a similar composition between sexes. In addition, a total of 519 and 391 isoforms were genome-widely identified with at least two isoforms from female and male transcriptome databases. We found that the number of isoforms and their alternatively spliced patterns are variable and sex-dependent. This information represents the first significant contribution to sex-preferential genomic resources of the Pacific abalone. The availability of whole female and male transcriptome database and their isoform information will be useful to improve our understanding of molecular responses and also for the analysis of population dynamics in the Pacific abalone.

Genome sequence of pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai): the first draft genome in family Haliotidae.

Background: Abalones are large marine snails in the family Haliotidae and the genus Haliotis belonging to the class Gastropoda of the phylum Mollusca. The family Haliotidae contains only one genus, Haliotis, and this single genus is known to contain several species of abalone. With 18 additional subspecies, the most comprehensive treatment of Haliotidae considers 56 species valid [1]. Abalone is an economically important fishery and aquaculture animal that is considered a highly prized seafood delicacy. The total global supply of abalone has increased 5-fold since the 1970s and farm production increased explosively from 50 mt to 103 464 mt in the past 40 years. Additionally, researchers have recently focused on abalone given their reported tumor suppression effect. However, despite the valuable features of this marine animal, no genomic information is available for the Haliotidae family and related research is still limited. To construct the H. discus hannai genome, a total of 580-G base pairs using Illumina and Pacbio platforms were generated with 322-fold coverage based on the 1.8-Gb estimated genome size of H. discus hannai using flow cytometry. The final genome assembly consisted of 1.86 Gb with 35 450 scaffolds (>2 kb). GC content level was 40.51%, and the N50 length of assembled scaffolds was 211 kb. We identified 29 449 genes using Evidence Modeler based on the gene information from ab initio prediction, protein homology with known genes, and transcriptome evidence of RNA-seq. Here we present the first Haliotidae genome, H. discus hannai, with sequencing data, assembly, and gene annotation information. This will be helpful for resolving the lack of genomic information in the Haliotidae family as well as providing more opportunities for understanding gastropod evolution.

Reproductive performance of one-year-old Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and its crossbreeding effect on offspring growth and survival

The Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) is one of the most popular farming mollusks in China, where three- to four-year-old adults are used as broodstock for commercial seeding. However, no reports exist regarding the reproduction performance of one-year-old Pacific abalone and its potential use in commercial breeding. In this study, one line of one-year-old abalone (AO) and two lines of three-year-old abalone (BD and HD), which were selected for rapid growth for three or six generations, were adopted to establish three purebred groups (AO, BD and HD) and two crossbred groups (BDAO and HDAO). The performance of these five groups on embryonic development, growth and survival rate was evaluated. According to the results, the average yolk diameter of oocytes produced by one-year-old abalone was significantly smaller than that produced by three-year-old individuals. The fertilization rate of the AO group was significantly higher than those of the other four groups, while the metamorphosis rate was the opposite. During the first 40d, the average shell growth rate of the AO group was slower than those of the other four groups, while the average shell length of this group was greatest after 120d. The AO group also showed a significantly higher survival rate than those of other groups during the period from 38d to 160d post fertilization. No significant differences were found in the embryonic development parameters or shell growth rates between the purebred and crossbred groups that shared the same dam line. However, the survival rates of the crossbred groups were significantly higher than those of the purebred groups. These results suggest that one-year-old Pacific abalone could be used as broodstock for reproduction and that an accelerated breeding cycle may enhance commercial genetic improvement programs.

Analysis of monthly variation of biological conditions, metabolic parameters and antioxidative capacities in sea-based farmed Pacific abalone during summer days

Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, has become the predominant farmed abalone species in Fujian, southern China, since 2006. As an introduced abalone species from northern China, mass mortality of the farmed Pacific abalones in Fujian often occurred during summer in recent years. However, this phenomenon of summer mortality still lacks thorough investigation. We conducted a field investigation to monitor biological conditions of the 2-year-old animals, including monthly survival rates; visual gonad index; monthly variation in metabolic parameters including protein, glycogen, and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) content; and enzyme activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and antioxidative capacities including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) from April to October 2014. A range of environmental parameters were assessed and correlated against biological indicators for abalone conditions, metabolic parameters, and antioxidative capacities. Results showed a total mortality rate of 58.58% over the sampled period. Visual gonad index assessment showed that the sampled animals had similar gonad development levels during each sampling date. Environmental parameters and abalone mortality monitored during the study showed significant positive correlation between seawater temperature and mortality of abalones. All energy resources tended to be depleted at the end of summer. Results also showed that both SOD and T-AOC increased in the first few months and then decreased in September and October. The variations of metabolic parameters and antioxidative capacities indicated an insufficient energy supply and peroxidative damage in the farmed animals during summer. This study provided the biological data of farmed Pacific abalone by field investigation in terms of summer mortality for the first time in southern China. These findings that might be applicable to the management and development of Pacific abalone aquaculture in sea-based farms of southern China were also discussed in the study.

Two experiments were performed (high temperature stress and culture in a southern sea area) to study whether a southern population (hybrid population) of Pacific abalone has different high temperature tolerance and is more adapted to that environment than a northern population (inbred population). After a 30℃ stress or in the high temperature stress experiment, relative expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 in the southern population at 0h of the recovery phase was significantly higher in the foot, mantle, gill, and hepatopancreas than those in the northern population (<0.05). At the same time, relative expression of HSP90 in the southern population was significantly higher in the mantle and hepatopancreas than that in the northern population. The relative expression levels of HSP70 and HSP90 in the southern population after the 33℃ stressor were significantly higher in the foot, mantle, and hepatopancreas at 0 h in the recovery phase than those in the northern population (<0.05). In another experiment, the most rapid growth period in the northern population occurred from December to February;abalone in the northern population grew faster than those in the southern population and water temperature was no higher than 17.11℃ at this time. Water temperature eventually exceeded 20℃ in March, when the northern population grew slower than the southern population and mortality increased. Less than 30 abalone in the northern population remained in July. Taken together, we conclude that because hybrid abalone have been cultured for many generations in southern China, they became better adapted to higher water temperature. The relative expression levels of HSP70 in the two populations were positively correlated with heat resistance after the 30℃ stressor. These data could be useful for assisted selection in an abalone high temperature resistance breeding program. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Antimicrobial and Antitumor Activities of Novel Peptides Derived from the Lipopolysaccharide- and β-1,3-Glucan Binding Protein of the Pacific Abalone Haliotis discus hannai.

Antimicrobial peptides are a pivotal component of the invertebrate innate immune system. In this study, we identified a lipopolysaccharide- and β-1,3-glucan-binding protein (LGBP) gene from the pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai (HDH), which is involved in the pattern recognition mechanism and plays avital role in the defense mechanism of invertebrates immune system. The HDH-LGBP cDNA consisted of a 1263-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 420 amino acids, with a 20-amino-acid signal sequence. The molecular mass of the protein portion was 45.5 kDa, and the predicted isoelectric point of the mature protein was 4.93. Characteristic potential polysaccharide binding motif, glucanase motif, and β-glucan recognition motif were identified in the LGBP of HDH. We used its polysaccharide-binding motif sequence to design two novel antimicrobial peptide analogs (HDH-LGBP-A1 and HDH-LGBP-A2). By substituting a positively charged amino acid and amidation at the C-terminus, the pI and net charge of the HDH-LGBP increased, and the proteins formed an α-helical structure. The HDH-LGBP analogs exhibited antibacterial and antifungal activity, with minimal effective concentrations ranging from 0.008 to 2.2 μg/mL. Additionally, both were toxic against human cervix (HeLa), lung (A549), and colon (HCT 116) carcinoma cell lines but not much on human umbilical vein cell (HUVEC). Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis showed that HDH-LGBP analogs disturb the cancer cell membrane and cause apoptotic cell death. These results suggest the use of HDH-LGBP analogs as multifunctional drugs.
