Article Abstract
Chronic stress leads to disruptions in learning and memory processes. The effects of chronic stress experience on the adult zebrafish brain, particularly the memory associated telencephalon brain region, is unclear. The goal of this study was to identify gene expression changes in the adult zebrafish brain triggered by chronic unpredictable stress. Transcriptome analysis of the telencephalon revealed 155 differentially expressed genes. Of these genes, some are critical genes involved in learning and memory, such as cdk5 and chrna7, indicating effects of chronic unpredictable stress on zebrafish memory. Interestingly, several genes were annotated in the Orange domain, which is an amino acid sequence present in eukaryotic DNA-binding transcription repressors. Furthermore, we identified hsd11b2, a cortisol inactivating gene, as chronic stress-responsive in the whole zebrafish brain. Collectively, these findings suggest that memory associated gene expression changes in adult zebrafish telencephalon are affected by chronic stress experience.

Background: Despite the well-known effects of elevated bilirubin in neonates, its neurotoxic potential in adults remains uncertain. In perioperative and hepatic disease contexts, transient bilirubin elevations are common; however, their direct contribution to cognitive dysfunction has not been clearly established. This study aimed to determine whether transient bilirubin elevation alone can impair cognition and disrupt blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in adult zebrafish, and to compare these effects with those of liver injury.

Taking lessons from naturally regenerating species, such as the zebrafish, we have previously shown that vector-mediated expression of proneural transcription factors can stimulate neurogenesis from the resident Müller glia (MG) population in the adult mouse retina, both and . To bring this closer to translation, we now show that vector-mediated expression of the proneural transcription factor ASCL1 can reprogram adult macaque MG into functional neurons.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays key roles in development and adult tissue homeostasis by controlling cell proliferation and cell fate decisions. TCF/LEF transcription factors play a pivotal role in this pathway, acting as repressors by recruiting co-repressors in the absence of Wnt signals, and as activators via β-catenin binding in the presence of Wnt signaling. While progress has been made in our understanding of Wnt signaling regulation, the underlying mechanism that regulates the protein stability of the TCF/LEF family is far less clear.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) represents a severe complication of cranial radiotherapy, substantially diminishing patients' quality of life. Unlike conventional brain injuries, RIBI evokes a unique chronic neuroinflammatory response that notably aggravates neurodegenerative processes. Despite significant progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms related to neuroinflammation, the specific and precise mechanisms that regulate neuroinflammation in RIBI and its associated toxicological effects remain largely unclear.

Offspring sex ratio has been proposed as an indicator of the risk of developing certain cancers in humans, but offspring sex ratio may also be a consequence of the disease. In this study, we investigate this subject using the zebrafish, as a model system. First, we explore whether inducing skin cancer at an early stage of the host's life (embryonic stage) has the potential to influence sex determination and/or sex-specific mortality.
