Modulation of connexon densities in gap junctions of horizontal cell perikarya and axon terminals in fish retina: effects of light/dark cycles,interruption of the optic nerve and application of dopamine

Summary In the fish retina, connexon densities of gap junctions in the outer horizontal cells are modulated in response to different light or dark adaptation times and wavelengths. We have examined whether the connexon density is a suitable parameter of gap junction coupling under in situ conditions. Short-term light adaptation evoked low connexon densities, regardless of whether white or red light was used. Short-term dark adaptation evoked high connexon densities; this was more pronounced in the axon terminal than in perikaryal gap junctions. Under a 12 h red light/12 h dark cycle, a significant difference in connexon densities between the light and the dark period could be established in the gap junctions of the perikarya and axon terminals. Under a white light/dark cycle, only the gap junctions of axon terminals showed a significant difference. Crushing of the optic nerve resulted in an increase in connexon densities; this was more pronounced in axon terminals than in perikarya. Dopamine injected into the right eye of white-light-adapted animals had no effect. However, dopamine prevented the effect of optic-nerve crushing on connexon density. The reaction of axon-terminal gap junctions to different conditions thus resembles that of perikaryal gap junctions, but is more intense. Axon terminals are therefore thought to play an important role in the adaptation process.

The effects of activators of G-proteins,mastoparan and compound 48/80, on the G-protein/adenylate cyclase system in cultured melanophores of the black-moor goldfish,Carassius auratus

 To investigate the functions of GTP-binding protein(s) in the melanosome-aggregating response in fish melanophores, the effects of activators of G-proteins, namely, mastoparan and compound 48/80, were examined in cultured melanophores of the balck-moor goldfish, Carassius auratus. Both mastoparan and compound 48/80 induced an approximately 40% increase in the GTP-hydrolyzing activity in the melanophore membranes compared to the basal level. In intact melanophores, these compounds inhibited the effect of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, which induced the accumulation of intracellular cAMP. Pretreatment of melanophores with pertussis toxin at 1 μg ⋅ ml^-1 for 15 h attenuated the inhibitory effect of mastoparan on the accumulation of cAMP. However, pretreatment with the toxin only slightly attenuated the inhibitory effect of compound 48/80 on the accumulation of cAMP. In addition, compound 48/80 at 1 mg ⋅ ml^-1 induced full aggregation of the melanosomes in melanophores, though mastoparan at 5 μmol ⋅ l^-1 induced only 10–20% aggregation of melanophores. These results suggest that mastoparan and compound 48/80 can each activate the inhibitory G-protein in goldfish melanophores, which results in inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. This signal-transduction pathway is involved in the aggregation of melanosomes in these cells. Accepted: 3 June 1996

Interannual variation in the reproductive cycle of the New Zealand snapper Pagrus auratus (Bloch & Schneider) (Sparidae)

Changes in reproductive condition in the New Zealand snapper Pagrus auratus (Bloch & Schneider) were monitored in a wild population over three successive years. Recrudescence occurred in spring with spawning beginning in October and continuing for 3 to 5 months. The initiation of spawning varied by up to 3 weeks and was associated with sea surface temperatures of 15–16° C. Theconclusion of spawning was associated with temperatures of 19–21° C but showed greater interannual variation than the onset of spawning. Changes in the gonadosomatic index were accompanied by parallel changes in hepatosomatic index in females but not males, reflecting the role of the liver in vitellogenesis in females.     

三种淡水鱼类在中国南北两个地区的肠道菌群差异比较

山东省德州市禹城市和湖南省长沙市望城区分别属于我国北方和南方地区,环境和气候差异明显。本试验以禹城市和望城区两地的草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idella)、鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)和鲤鱼(Cyprinus carpio)为研究对象,对肠道中的菌群进行16s rRNA V4高变区扩增,基于IonS5 TM XL测序平台进行测序,并对相关数据进行分析。结果表明,在门水平上鲫鱼、鲤鱼、草鱼的肠道优势菌主要为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、梭杆菌门(Fusobacteria)、硬壁菌门(Firmicutes),拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes),各组中这四种菌门所占比之和均在80%以上;基于Bray-Curtis距离值的秩次进行组间差异显著性检验,山东草鱼组和湖南草鱼组比较中组间差异大于组内差异(R=0.307,P<0.05),且线性判别分析显示湖南草鱼组的特征性菌群为弧菌属,而山东草鱼组的为梭菌纲,推测特征性菌群差异与环境的影响有关;有害菌种的统计分析表明,湖南鲫鱼组和鲤鱼组的嗜水气单胞菌属相对丰度明显高于对应的山东鲫鱼组和鲤鱼组,山东草鱼组和鲤鱼组的弧菌属相对丰度高于对应的湖南草鱼组和鲤鱼组,可能受外界环境的影响,不同地区抵御外来有害细菌的能力也不一样。本研究对两地的淡水鱼类肠道微生物群落结构进行了比较和分析,为进一步的鱼类发育研究奠定基础。     

Fish hypnosis: Induction of an atonic immobility reflex

An immobility reflex may be induced in fish by a vigorous flow of water through the branchial chamber. The reflex was observed in 22 species representing bony and cartilaginous fishes from diverse habitats, and was invariably characterised by loss of caudal muscle tone and limp posture. The immobilised state may be maintained for many hours, and revival is instantaneous. The critical flow rate for induction increases with increasing body size in the snapper, Pagrus auratus, and heart rate falls below the resting rate. In addition, haematological parameters, and plasma lactate after 6?h were typical of resting fish. Although the mechanism is unclear, and the selective advantage for the fish unknown, pressure-sensitive receptors in the branchial chamber are likely to be involved. Application in live fish transport, and recovery from handling and exercise stressors is suggested.     

Twice Daily Melatonin Peaks in Siberian but not Syrian Hamsters under 24 h Light:Dark:Light:Dark Cycles

The daily pattern of blood-borne melatonin varies seasonally under the control of a multi-oscillator circadian pacemaker. Here we examine patterns of melatonin secretion and locomotor activity in Siberian and Syrian hamsters entrained to bimodal LDLD8:4:8:4 and LD20:4 lighting schedules that facilitate novel temporal arrangements of component circadian oscillators. Under LDLD, both species robustly bifurcated wheel-running activity in distinct day scotophase (DS) and night scotophase (NS) bouts. Siberian hamsters displayed significant melatonin increases during each scotophase in LDLD, and in the single daily scotophase of LD20:4. The bimodal melatonin secretion pattern persisted in acutely extended 16 h scotophases. Syrian hamsters, in contrast, showed no significant increases in plasma melatonin during either scotophase of LDLD8:4:8:4 or in LD20:4. In this species, detectable levels were observed only when the DS of LDLD was acutely extended to yield 16 h of darkness. Established species differences in the phase lag of nocturnal melatonin secretion relative to activity onset may underlie the above contrast: In non-bifurcated entrainment to 24 h LD cycles, Siberian hamsters show increased melatonin secretion within ～2 h after activity onset, whereas in Syrian hamsters, detectable melatonin secretion phase lags activity onset and the L/D transition by at least 4?h. The present results provide new evidence indicating multi-oscillator regulation of the waveform of melatonin secretion, specifically, the circadian control of the onset, offset and duration of nocturnal secretion.     

异育银鲫GABAB受体1亚基 cDNA部分序列的克隆及组织表达分析

为了确定γ-氨基丁酸B受体（gamma-aminobutyric acid B receptor,GABABR）基因在异育银鲫（Carassius auratus gibelio）不同组织中的表达,本实验分别对异育银鲫不同组织中GABABR1基因进行RT-PCR扩增,并进行了克隆和测序,在与GenBank基因库中已知GABABR1序列进行同源性比对的基础上采用邻接法构建系统发育树,并进一步分析其在异育银鲫不同组织内的表达水平。结果：经克隆获得异育银鲫GABABR1基因CDS区序列383bp,编码127个氨基酸。荧光定量PCR结果显示GABABR1基因在异育银鲫脑、肝、肾、心、肠、鳔、鳃、肌、鳍、脾、卵巢、精巢组织中均有表达,且在不同组织中的表达水平由高到低依次是：脑>尾鳍>精巢>心、肠、鳔> 卵巢、脾、鳃、肌>肝、肾。本研究证实了GABABR1基因在异育银鲫各组织中的表达的广泛性,且有明显的组织特异性。
