Oxytetracycline (OTC), a commonly used tetracycline antibiotic in aquaculture, has been found to cause significant damage to the liver of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). This study revealed that OTC can lead to severe histopathological damage, structural changes at the cellular level, and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in M. salmoides.

Liver fibrosis in fish research: From an immunological perspective.

Liver fibrosis is a pathological process whereby the liver is subjected to various acute and chronic injuries, resulting in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), an imbalance of extracellular matrix generation and degradation, and deposition in the liver. This review article summarizes the current understanding of liver fibrosis in fish research. Liver fibrosis is a common pathological condition that occurs in fish raised in aquaculture.

Pyroptosis in fish research: A promising target for disease management.

Pyroptosis is a newly discovered programmed cell death pathway that plays an essential role in the host's defense against pathogenic infections. This process is orchestrated by inflammasomes, which are intricate multiprotein complexes that orchestrate the activation of caspase and instigate the liberation of proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, gasdermin family proteins execute their role by forming pores in the cell membrane, ultimately leading to cell lysis.

Profiling miRNAs of Teleost Fish in Responses to Environmental Stress: A Review.

miRNAs are a class of endogenous and evolutionarily conserved noncoding short RNA molecules that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression through sequence-specific interactions with mRNAs and are capable of controlling gene expression by binding to miRNA targets and interfering with the final protein output. The miRNAs of teleost were firstly reported in zebrafish development, but there are recent studies on the characteristics and functions of miRNAs in fish, especially when compared with mammals. Environmental factors including salinity, oxygen concentration, temperature, feed, pH, environmental chemicals and seawater metal elements may affect the transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulators of miRNAs, contributing to nearly all biological processes.

Hypo-Osmoregulatory Roles of Vasotocinergic and Isotocinergic Systems in the Intestines of Two European Sea Bass Lineages.

European sea bass () are a major aquaculture species that live in habitats with fluctuating salinities that are sometimes higher than in seawater (SW). Atlantic and West-Mediterranean genetic lineages were compared regarding intestinal neuropeptide receptor expression in SW (36%) and following a two-week transfer to hypersalinity (HW, 55%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed seven neuropeptide receptors belonging to the arginine vasotocine (AVTR) family and two isotocin receptors (ITR).

Environmental salinity influences the branchial expression of TCR pathway related genes based on transcriptome of a catadromous fish.

Environmental salinity not only affects the physiological processes such as osmoregulation and hormonal control, but also changes the immune system in fishes. Studies are limited in fish on the roles of the T cell receptor (TCR)-related genes in relation to changes in environmental salinity. A large group of salinity-challenged transcripts was obtained in gills of marbled eel (Anguilla marmorata).

The influence of environmental calcium on the branchial morphology in a catadromous fish.

Eels are exposed to Ca changes during migration between seawater and freshwater. The gill is the main organ of active calcium transport and has a large surface area to be particularly sensitive to environmental changes in the aquatic environment. In this research, we focused on the morphological changes of gill tissues when eels are faced with the environmental calcium challenges.

Latrophilin participates in insecticide susceptibility through positively regulating CSP10 and partially compensated by OBPC01 in Tribolium castaneum.

Latrophilin (LPH) is an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) that participates in multiple essential physiological processes. Our previous studies have shown that lph is not only indispensable for the development and reproduction of red flour beetles (Tribolium castaneum), but also for their resistance against dichlorvos or carbofuran insecticides. However, the regulatory mechanism of lph-mediated insecticide susceptibility remains unclear.

Individual and combined effects of salinity and lipopolysaccharides on the immune response of juvenile Takifugu fasciatus.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and salinity are important variables in aquatic environments. High concentration of LPS and large changes in salinity seriously threat the survival of a variety of organisms, including fish. To reveal the effects of salinity and LPS on a fish immune response, we measured the immune-related parameters (total leukocyte count, total serum protein, albumin and globulin concentrations, complement C3 concentration, and lysozyme activity) and genes (the expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, and SOCS1-3 at the mRNA and protein levels) of juvenile Takifugu fasciatus exposed to phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or LPS (25 μg mL) under different salinities (0, 15, and 30 ppt) for 24 h.
