Poly (I:C), a viral mimic, is capable of activating the antiviral immune mechanisms in teleosts. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional responses of Ussuri Catfish () to poly (I:C) stimulation at 3 and 48 h, focusing on the similarities and differences in antiviral mechanisms exhibited in the liver and spleen. At 3 h, the signaling pathways that were concurrently enriched in both the spleen and liver include JAK-STAT, TNF, NF-κB, RIG-I-like receptor, and NOD-like receptor.

This study investigated the molecular adaptation mechanisms of exposed to 10 ppt NaCl for 96 h, integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of gill and kidney tissues. In transcriptomics, 2,554 and 1,066 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in gills and kidneys, respectively, with significant enrichment in pathways related to energy metabolism (glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation), membrane dynamics (glycerophospholipid metabolism), and immune-osmoregulatory crosstalk (HIF-1, TNF, and Jak-STAT signaling).

The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway directly regulates the cell's response to hypoxia. Still, it is currently unknown which members of the hif-α genes are present in common carp and their specific functions.
