Characterisation of the complete mitochondrial genome of the black-footed abalone Haliotis iris

The complete mitogenome of Haliotis iris, an economically important shellfish endemic to New Zealand, was sequenced for the first time. The mitogenome was 17,131?base pairs (bp) in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and a control region. All 13 genes were initiated by the start codon ATG, except for nad5 (ATA). Two typical stop codons, TAA and TAG, were present. All of the tRNAs could be folded into typical cloverleaf secondary structures except tRNA^Ser1 and tRNA^Lys, which lacked a DHU stem and complete amino acid acceptor stem, respectively. The control region was 1132?bp in length and contained six AT tandem repeats. According to the gene order of the mitogenome, the 30 analysed Vetigastropoda species could be classified into three types—type I: over half of the studied species were very similar to the gastropod ancestral gene order, and the rearrangements occurred in five tRNAs; type II: eight species were found to be missing several tRNA genes; type III: Fissurellidae, Lepetodrilidae showed a large inverted fragment.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA markers in the Pacific abalone,Haliotis discus hannai

We developed 17 new microsatellite markers in Haliotis discus hannai. All loci were found to be polymorphic with an average of 13.1 alleles per locus (range 3–28). The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.77 (range 0.17–1.00) and 0.79 (range 0.42–0.96), respectively. Six loci deviated significantly from Hardy–Weinberg proportions, and thus should be used with caution. The high variabilities revealed in this study suggest that these microsatellite loci should provide useful markers for studies of trait mapping, kinship and population genetics.     

对二甲苯对皱纹盘鲍肝胰腺细胞DNA的损伤

为研究对二甲苯对皱纹盘鲍肝胰腺的毒性作用,设置4个浓度(0.5、1.0、1.5和2.0 mg·L^-1)和对照组,开展为期21 d的对二甲苯对皱纹盘鲍的亚慢性毒性试验,采用彗星试验技术进行皱纹盘鲍肝胰腺细胞DNA损伤分析,采用CASP分析软件对拖尾率、彗星尾长、彗尾DNA相对含量、Olive矩等损伤指标进行统计。结果表明: 与对照组相比,各染毒组皱纹盘鲍肝胰腺细胞DNA均受到损伤,且损伤程度存在显著性差异。随着染毒浓度的增加,肝胰腺细胞DNA受损程度加重,高浓度甚至可以引发细胞凋亡,呈现一定的剂量-损伤效应。中浓度对二甲苯短时间暴露即可对皱纹盘鲍肝胰腺细胞造成DNA损伤,随着暴露时间延长,细胞DNA受损程度加重,呈现一定的时间-损伤效应。但长时间暴露细胞DNA各损伤指标有所减小,这可能与细胞自身的DNA修复机制和生物体解毒系统的代谢机制有关。研究表明,对二甲苯可对皱纹盘鲍肝胰腺细胞产生氧化损伤,导致DNA断裂,高浓度的对二甲苯长时间暴露可导致其细胞凋亡。

Metabolic consequences of living in a wave-swept environment: Effects of simulated wave forces on oxygen consumption, heart rate, and activity of the shell adductor muscle of the abalone Haliotis iris

Animals in wave-exposed habitats must constantly contend with the hydrodynamic forces of lift and drag. In this study, we investigated aspects of the metabolic response of Haliotis iris to simulated wave forces varying in magnitude up to 9.6 N applied to the shell at 69° to horizontal, alternately from anterior and posterior directions, with a period of 10s. Shell adductor muscle activity (electromyogram, EMG), heart rate, and oxygen consumption were monitored during force application and during extended recovery. EMG spiking was absent at zero force, but increased markedly with increasing force, in synchrony with the wave cycle. In contrast, heart rate was unaffected by wave forces and varied by only 5% over the whole range of applied forces. During force application, oxygen consumption increased by 10-25% above resting rates and remained elevated throughout a 5-hour recovery period, indicating a switch to anaerobic metabolism. It is concluded that living in a wave-swept environment is metabolically costly for abalone although this may be compensated by improved food availability and more efficient ventilation induced by external flow.     

Pathogenic Vibrio harveyi,in contrast to non‐pathogenic strains,intervenes with the p38 MAPK pathway to avoid an abalone haemocyte immune response

Vibrio harveyi is a marine bacterial pathogen responsible for episodic abalone epidemics associated with massive mortalities in France, Japan, and Australia. The aim of this study was the understanding of a possible role of the p38 MAPK in abalone haemocyte responses towards this bacterium. First, the pathogenicity of different V. harveyi strains was compared in both immersion and injection trials, and clear differences were detected. The three strains, ORM4, 04/092, and 05/053, all isolated from moribund abalone, induced up to 80% mortalities in immersion or injection challenges (LD₅₀ (ORM4) = 2.5 × 10² CFU animal^?1). The two strains, LMG 4044T and LMG 7890 were non‐pathogenic towards abalone in immersion trials, and needed very high numbers for killing by intramuscular injections (LD₅₀ = 8.9 × 10⁴ and 1.6 × 10⁵ CFU animal^?1, respectively). To start unraveling the mechanism explaining these differences, the p38‐MAPK, a keyplayer in antimicrobial immune response, was studied. The non‐pathogenic strain, LMG 7890 can be eliminated by abalone haemocytes and induces haemocyte phagocytosis and high ROS production. With different concentrations of a p38‐specific inhibitor, SB203580, p38 implication was shown. This inhibitor reduced phagocytosis and ROS induction leading to LMG 7890 proliferation. In the case of the pathogenic ORM4 which can not be eliminated by abalone haemocytes, no phagocytosis and ROS production was induced, and a retarded p38 activation was observed. Taken together, our results suggest that p38 MAPK modulation may be one of the ways of virulent V. harveyi to attack its host and escape abalone immune response. J. Cell.

Isolation and characterization of eleven microsatellite loci in small abalone, Haliotis diversicolor Reeve

Eleven novel microsatellite markers were isolated from small abalone, Haliotis diversicolor Reeve. These loci were tested on 22 individuals from two different geographic populations. We identified a total of 162 alleles from the 11 microsatellite loci. All of the loci were highly polymorphic. Polymorphism information content (PIC) is ranging from 0.7276 to 0.9163. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.2727 to 1.0000 and from 0.7738 to 0.9429, respectively. Three loci deviated significantly from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. No pairs of loci displayed linkage disequilibrium. These polymorphic markers will be used to analyze population structure, genetic diversity and construct a genetic linkage map.
