The southern flounder is a euryhaline teleost that inhabits ocean, estuarine, and riverine environments. We investigated the osmoregulatory strategy of juvenile flounder by examining the time-course of homeostatic responses, hormone levels, and gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and Na(+),K(+),2Cl(-) cotransporter protein expression after salinity challenge. Transfer of freshwater (FW)-acclimated flounder to sea water (SW) induced an increase in plasma osmolality and cortisol and a decrease in muscle water content, plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and hepatic IGF-I mRNA, all returning to control levels after 4 days. Gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and Na(+),K(+),2Cl(-) cotransporter protein levels were elevated in response to SW after 4 days. Transfer of SW-acclimated flounder to FW reduced gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and Na(+),K(+),2Cl(-) cotransporter protein, increased plasma IGF-I, but did not alter hepatic IGF-I mRNA or plasma cortisol levels. Gill claudin-3 and claudin-4 immunoreactive proteins were elevated in FW versus SW acclimated flounder. The study demonstrates that successful acclimation of southern flounder to SW or FW occurs after an initial crisis period and that the salinity adaptation process is associated with changes in branchial expression of ion transport and putative tight junction claudin proteins known to regulate epithelial permeability in mammalian vertebrates. 相似文献

Juvenile rainbow trout were exposed to 0, 0.1, 1, 3, and 5 micro g/l silver (Ag, as AgNO3) for 23 days. Specific growth rate, cumulative food consumption, food-conversion efficiency, and critical swimming speed (U(crit)) were significantly reduced during 5 micro g/l Ag exposure, demonstrating a physiological cost of silver acclimation. Only the 5 microg/l Ag treatment had significant cumulative mortality (5.2%). Fish were most susceptible to silver on days 5 and 15. Exposure to 5 microg/l Ag significantly lowered plasma Na+ and Cl- on days 5 and 10, but plasma ion concentration recovered thereafter. Unidirectional Na+ uptake and gill Na/K-ATPase activity were significantly inhibited by 3 and 5 microg/l Ag exposure. Na+ uptake was inhibited by 3 micro g/l Ag at day 5 alone, whereas the effects at the highest Ag exposure persisted until day 15. Gill Na/K-ATPase was inhibited on day 5 in both the 3 and 5 microg/l Ag treatments but increased to approx. 1.5 times of control levels by day 23. Only the 3 and 5 microg/l Ag treatments produced toxicological acclimation (at least twofold elevations in 168-h LC50 values in fish subsampled on days 15 and 23). We conclude that physiological acclimation results from compensatory changes in Na+ transport at the gills, and that these changes may eventually lead to toxicological acclimation. 相似文献

The teleost gill carries out NaCl uptake in freshwater (FW) and NaCl excretion in seawater (SW). This transformation with salinity requires close regulation of ion transporter capacity and epithelial permeability. This study investigates the regulation of tight-junctional claudins during salinity acclimation in fish. We identified claudin 3- and claudin 4-like immunoreactive proteins and examined their expression and that of select ion transporters by performing Western blot in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) gill during FW and SW acclimation. Transfer of FW tilapia to SW increased plasma osmolality, which was corrected after 4 days, coinciding with increased gill Na+-K+-ATPase and Na+-K+-2Cl(-) cotransporter expression. Gill claudin 3- and claudin 4-like proteins were reduced with exposure to SW. Transfer to FW increased both claudin-like proteins. Immunohistochemistry shows that claudin 3-like protein was localized deep in the FW gill filament, whereas staining was found apically in SW gill. Claudin 4-like proteins are localized predominantly in the filament outer epithelial layer, and staining appears more intense in the gill of FW versus SW fish. In addition, tilapia claudin 28a and 30 genes were characterized, and mRNA expression was found to increase during FW acclimation. These studies are the first to detect putative claudin proteins in teleosts and show their localization and regulation with salinity in gill epithelium. The data indicate that claudins may be important in permeability changes associated with salinity acclimation and possibly the formation of deeper tight junctions in FW gill. This may reduce ion permeability, which is a critical facet of FW osmoregulation. 相似文献

The initial response of the IGF-I system and the expression and cellular localization of IGF type-I receptor (IGF-IR) were studied in the gill of a euryhaline teleost during salinity acclimation. Exposure of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) to hyperosmotic and hypoosmotic challenges induced small, transitory (<24 h) deflections in hydromineral balance. Transfer from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW) induced an initial decrease in plasma IGF-I levels after 24 h in both fed and fasted fish. There was an overall decrease in liver IGF-I mRNA levels after SW transfer, suggesting that decreased plasma levels may be due to a decline in hepatic IGF-I synthesis. No changes were observed in gill IGF-I mRNA, but SW transfer induced an increase in gill IGF-IR mRNA after 24 h. Transfer from SW to FW induced an increase in plasma IGF-I levels in fasted fish. In fed fish, no significant changes were observed in either plasma IGF-I, liver, or gill IGF-I mRNA, or gill IGF-IR mRNA levels. In a separate experiment, FW-acclimated fish were injected with saline or IGF-I prior to a 24-h SW challenge. Rapid regain of osmotic balance following SW transfer was hindered by IGF-I. Immunohistochemistry revealed for the first time in teleosts that IGF-IR and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase are localized in putative chloride cells at the base of the lamellae, identifying these cells in the gill as a target for IGF-I and IGF-II. Overall the data suggest a hyperosmoregulatory role of IGF-I in this species. 相似文献

The Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, is capable of surviving a wide range of salinities and temperatures. The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of environmental salinity and temperature on osmoregulatory ability, organic osmolytes and plasma hormone profiles in the tilapia. Fish were acclimated to fresh water (FW), seawater (SW) or double-strength seawater (200% SW) at 20, 28 or 35 degrees C for 7 days. Plasma osmolality increased significantly as environmental salinity and temperature increased. Marked increases in gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity were observed at all temperatures in the fish acclimated to 200% SW. By contrast, Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity was not affected by temperature at any salinity. Plasma glucose levels increased significantly with the increase in salinity and temperature. Significant correlations were observed between plasma glucose and osmolality. In brain and kidney, content of myo-inositol increased in parallel with plasma osmolality. In muscle and liver, there were similar increases in glycine and taurine, respectively. Glucose content in liver decreased significantly in the fish in 200% SW. Plasma prolactin levels decreased significantly after acclimation to SW or 200% SW. Plasma levels of cortisol and growth hormone were highly variable, and no consistent effect of salinity or temperature was observed. Although there was no significant difference among fish acclimated to different salinity at 20 degrees C, plasma IGF-I levels at 28 degrees C increased significantly with the increase in salinity. Highest levels of IGF-I were observed in SW fish at 35 degrees C. These results indicate that alterations in gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity and glucose metabolism, the accumulation of organic osmolytes in some organs as well as plasma profiles of osmoregulatory hormones are sensitive to salinity and temperature acclimation in tilapia. 相似文献

Brown and rainbow trout, held in freshwater at 13 +/- 1 degrees, were injected, every 3 days, with iopanoic acid (IOP: 5 mg/100 g body wt), an inhibitor of deiodination of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3). One group of IOP-treated rainbow trout was immersed in T3 (20 micrograms/l water). In IOP trout, plasma T3 fell to very low levels by day 7, while changes in T4 levels were less marked. In IOP + T3 trout plasma T3 increased fivefold, plasma T4 being unchanged. No mortality occurred and plasma osmolarity (OP) was not altered by any treatment. After direct transfer to seawater (30/1000), IOP trout were unable to acclimate to salinity: all died within 2 or 3 days, while the survival at day 3 was 100% in control brown trout and 45 and 74% in control and IOP + T3 rainbow trout respectively. OP increased more in IOP and less in IOP + T3 than in controls. There was a significant inverse correlation between T3, but not T4, plasma level, at the time of transfer and the OP 1 day later. In conclusion, although T3 does not play a significant role in osmoregulation in freshwater, T3 and therefore the deiodination of T4 into T3, were required for the development of hypo-osmoregulatory capacity involved in acclimation of trout to seawater. 相似文献

We have investigated whether mild heat shock, and resulting Hsp70 expression, can confer cross-protection against the stress associated with transfer from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW) in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In experimental Series I, juvenile trout reared in FW were transferred from 13.5 degrees C to 25.5 degrees C in FW, held for 2 h, returned to 13.5 degrees C for 12 h, and then transferred to 32 ppt SW at 13.5 degrees C. Branchial Hsp70 increased approximately 10-fold in the heat-shocked fish relative to the control by the end of recovery and remained high 2, 8, and 24 h post-salinity transfer. However, no clear differences could be detected in blood parameters (blood hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCHC, plasma Na(+) and plasma osmolarity) or muscle water content between heat-shocked and sham-shocked fish in SW at any sampling interval (0, 2, 8, 24, 48, 120, 240 and 360 h post-SW transfer). In experimental Series II, trout acclimated to 8 degrees C were heat-shocked at 22 degrees C for 2 h, allowed to recover 18 h, and exposed to a more severe salinity transfer (either 36 or 45 ppt) than in Series I. Branchial Hsp70 levels increased approximately 6-fold in heat-shocked fish, but had declined to baseline after 120 h in SW. Plasma osmolarity and chloride increased in both groups upon transfer to 36 ppt; however, the increase was significantly less in heat-shocked fish when compared to the increase observed in sham-shocked fish at 24 h. No significant differences could be detected in branchial Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity or Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha1a and alpha1b mRNA expression between the two groups. Our data indicate that a mild temperature shock has only modest effects on the ability of rainbow trout to resist osmotic stress during FW to SW transfer. 相似文献

The electrophysiological and ion-transporting properties of cultured gill epithelia from freshwater (FW) rainbow trout were examined in the presence of dilute cell culture media as an environmental or physiological simulant. Gill epithelia were cultured on cell culture inserts under symmetrical conditions (L15 apical-L15 basolateral) for 6-7 d. The following experiments were then conducted. (1) To mimic a gradual lowering of environmental salinity, apical L15 medium was progressively diluted with FW (first to 2/3 L15 for 8 h and then to 1/3 L15 for 6 h) before the introduction of apical FW (FW apical-L15 basolateral, analogous to a fish in a natural FW environment). Dilute apical media had no significant effect on the electrophysiological properties of preparations compared with symmetrical culture conditions, and no evidence for active Na(+) or Cl(-) transport was observed. Preparations subsequently exposed to apical FW exhibited a negative transepithelial potential and evidence of active Cl(-) uptake and slight Na(+) extrusion. (2) To mimic the extracellular fluid dilution that occurs in euryhaline fish after abrupt transfer from saline to FW, the osmolality or ionic strength (or both) of basolateral media was reduced by 20-40% (using either FW or FW + mannitol) while simultaneously replacing apical media with FW. Under these conditions, Na(+) and Cl(-) influx rates were low compared with efflux rates, while the Ussing flux ratio analysis generally indicated active Cl(-) uptake and Na(+) extrusion. The Na(+)-K(+) adenosine triphosphatase activity was not affected by alterations in basolateral osmolality. Our studies indicate that cultured trout gill epithelia are tolerant of media dilution from both the apical and the basolateral direction; however, neither treatment alone appeared to increase ion influx rates or stimulate active Na(+) uptake in cultured trout gill epithelia. 相似文献

In freshwater-acclimated rainbow trout a single intraperitoneal injection of ovine TSH significantly elevated plasma thyroxine (T4 ) levels within 1 h after the injection. In seawater adapted trout the increase in T4 after TSH-treatment was not evident until 6 h after the injection. TSH caused a transient fall in plasma Na+ and Cl- between 3 h and 9 h after the injection in seawater-adapted fish and plasma Na+ was lowered in freshwater-adapted trout 24 h after the injection. Although there were clear histological changes in the thyroid gland of freshwater-adapted trout after TSH-injection, no such changes were evident in seawater-adapted fish.
Plasma thyroid hormone levels and thyroid histology in freshwater-adapted rainbow trout and coho salmon transferred to sea water, and seawater-adapted trout transferred to fresh water showed no consistent changes compared with controls.
The data are interpreted to indicate that although ambient salinity may have indirect effects on thyroid activity there is no direct involvement in ionic or osmotic regulation in the two species. 相似文献

The effects of growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) on the teleost somatotropic axis are poorly understood, particularly with respect to insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and the IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). To assess the endocrine and orexigenic responses of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to GHS treatment, animals were injected with human GHRH(1-29)-amide, KP-102 or rat ghrelin at 0, 1 or 10 pmol/g body mass. Feed intake was tested at 2 and 5 h post-injection and plasma levels of growth hormone (GH), IGF-I and the IGFBPs were determined at 3, 6 and 12 h post-injection. Feed intake was significantly elevated by all of the GHSs tested at both post-injection time points. All GHSs elevated plasma GH levels in a time-dependent manner. Plasma IGF-I levels were elevated by all GHSs at 3 h post-injection, whereas those animals treated with KP-102 and ghrelin exhibited depressions at 6 h. Four IGFBPs were identified in the plasma by western blotting. Levels of the 20 kDa IGFBP decreased over the sampling time. Levels of the 32 kDa IGFBP were significantly depressed by all GHSs tested. Levels of the 42 kDa IGFBP were significantly elevated by all GHSs tested. Plasma levels of the 50 kDa IGFBP was decreased in some treatment groups at 3 h, but elevated by 6 h in the ghrelin-treated groups and elevated in all treatment groups by 12 h post-injection. The endocrine and orexigenic responses demonstrate that GHSs influence the teleost neuroendocrine system beyond short-term actions (<3 h post-injection) on GH release and the responses of the IGFBPs to GHS treatment support this notion and clarify their identification as functional homologues to mammalian IGFBPs. 相似文献

Effect of salinity on expression of branchial ion transporters in striped bass (Morone saxatilis) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The time course of osmoregulatory adjustments and expressional changes of three key ion transporters in the gill were investigated in the striped bass during salinity acclimations. In three experiments, fish were transferred from fresh water (FW) to seawater (SW), from SW to FW, and from 15-ppt brackish water (BW) to either FW or SW, respectively. Each transfer induced minor deflections in serum [Na+] and muscle water content, both being corrected rapidly (24 hr). Transfer from FW to SW increased gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity and Na+,K+,2Cl- co-transporter expression after 3 days. Abundance of Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit mRNA and protein was unchanged. Changes in Na+,K+,2Cl- co-transporter protein were preceded by increased mRNA expression after 24 hr. Expression of V-type H+-ATPase mRNA decreased after 3 days. Transfer from SW to FW induced no change in expression of gill Na+,K+-ATPase. However, Na+,K+,2Cl- co-transporter mRNA and protein levels decreased after 24 hr and 7 days, respectively. Expression of H+-ATPase mRNA increased in response to FW after 7 days. In BW fish transferred to FW and SW, gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity was stimulated by both challenges, suggesting both a hyper- and a hypo-osmoregulatory response of the enzyme. Acclimation of striped bass to SW occurs on a rapid time scale. This seems partly to rely on the relative high abundance of gill Na+,K+-ATPase and Na+,K+,2Cl- co-transporter in FW fish. In a separate study, we found a smaller response to SW in expression of these ion transport proteins in striped bass when compared with the less euryhaline brown trout. In both FW and SW, NEM-sensitive gill H+-ATPase activity was negligible in striped bass and approximately 10-fold higher in brown trout. This suggests that in striped bass Na+-uptake in FW may rely more on a relatively high abundance/activity of Na+,K+-ATPase compared to trout, where H+-ATPase is critical for establishing a thermodynamically favorable gradient for Na+-uptake. 相似文献

The influence of acclimation to seawater (SW) and growth hormone (GH) administration on immune functions was examined in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). After 3 days acclimation to dilute SW (12 parts per thousand, ppt), an increase in plasma lysozyme activity was observed compared to the fish kept in fresh water (FW). No change was seen in plasma immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels. When they were transferred from dilute SW to full-strength SW (29 ppt) after a single intra-peritoneal injection of ovine or salmon GH, plasma sodium levels of GH-treated fish were significantly lower than those of the control fish injected with Ringer's solution 24 h after the transfer. The plasma level of IgM was not influenced by GH injection in the fish kept in FW nor in those transferred to SW. The administration of GH increased plasma lysozyme activity in the fish in FW, but no further increase was seen after SW transfer. The production of superoxide anions in peripheral blood leucocytes was stimulated by GH in both FW and SW. These results suggest that GH is involved in the stimulation of the non-specific immune functions in SW-acclimated salmonids. 相似文献

Crowding causes prolonged leucopenia in salmonid fish, despite interrenal acclimation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Crowding for 3 weeks significantly reduced the coefficient of condition of both brown trout and rainbow trout. However, acclimation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis, as assessed by changes in plasma cortisol levels, occurred within 6 days for brown trout and within 10 days for rainbow trout. Blood lactate levels were significantly reduced in the crowded fish of both species throughout the experiment. Sexual maturation of the male fish significantly elevated the number of circulating red blood cells in both species, reduced the lactate levels in brown trout and elevated cortisol levels in the rainbow trout. Despite the relatively rapid interrenal acclimation, the numbers of thrombocytes and lymphocytes in the blood of both species were significantly reduced during the period of crowding and it is concluded that changes in the composition of circulating blood cells are more reliable indicators of chronic crowding stress than are plasma cortisol levels. These findings are discussed in relation to the role of the HPI axis in suppressing the defence systems of salmonid fish during periods of chronic stress. 相似文献

Unidirectional fluxes of Na+ obtained in perfused preparation and mucosal enzyme equipment (alkaline phosphatase, ouabain-sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase) have been determined in the middle and posterior intestine of freshwater (FW) and sea-water (SW) adapted trout. In FW, influxes and outfluxes were higher in the middle than in the posterior intestine, although net fluxes were similar. SW adaptation induced an increase of influxes and net fluxes mainly in the posterior intestine. SW adaptation decreased the alkaline phosphatase activity only in the posterior intestine. Na+,K+-ATPase activity was always higher in the middle than in the posterior intestine in FW and SW and increased in both parts by SW adaptation. Thus, it seems that SW adaptation of rainbow trout modifies Na intestinal absorption principally in its posterior part and in relation with the Na+, K+-ATPase activity. 相似文献

1. The connection between feeding regime (food deprivation and restricted diet) and thermal acclimation (1-2, 6, 11 and 16 degrees C) was studied in rainbow trout held in diluted seawater (20% S). 2. At 1 degree C, food deprivation effects on all parameters are slight, and on RNA and certain enzymes they are masked by thermal acclimation effects. 3. At a salinity of 20% rainbow trout on a restricted diet and held at 11 degrees C have the highest growth rate. 4. Owing to increasing RNA levels, the RNA/DNA quotient is significantly higher than normal in rainbow trout held at 1 degree C although the fishes do not grow at this temperature. 5. Temperature and feeding both affect the enzymes we studied (liver: G1DH, AspT, arginase, G6PDH, and 6PGDH; kidney: G1DH, AspT, arginase, and Na/K-ATPase; white muscle: AspT and A1T; gill: Na/K-ATPase) differently. Interactions between these two factors also occur in some cases. 相似文献

The ability to transition from freshwater to seawater environments is an intrinsic requirement of the life history of some fish species, including the anadromous rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The differences between hyper- and hypoosmoregulation are developed quickly (in hours to days), and at all scales, from gene expression to organ function. In this study, intestinal ion and water transport was examined in O. mykiss following acute transfer from freshwater (FW) to 70% seawater (SW). Plasma [Mg2+] increased at 24h post-transfer but recovered by 72 h. In the intestinal fluids, total CO? was found to increase with SW exposure/acclimation, while [Na+] decreased after 24h of SW exposure. Overall, in vitro experiments demonstrated the importance of base secretion to epithelial water uptake, and suggested that the primary physiological adjustments occurred 24-72 h after acute SW transfer. The mRNA expression of ion transporters important for intestinal osmoregulation and maintenance of acid-base balance was also investigated. A Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE2) and anion exchanger (SLC26a6) were hypothesized to be involved in the transport of acid-base equivalents, Na+, and Cl?, but were not uniformly expressed across tissue samples, and expression, where present, did not change following salinity transfer. NHE1, however, was expressed in all examined tissues (gill, kidney, anterior intestine, and pyloric cecae), but exhibited no changes in expression following acute salinity transfer. 相似文献

1. Plasma sodium and chloride levels were determined in goldfish, Carassius auratus L., following acclimation to 5, 15, 25 and 35 degrees C. Carbonic anhydrase and (Na+/K+)-stimulated ATPase activities of gill and kidney were also assayed at both acclimation temperature and 41 degrees C. 2. Consistent with earlier findings this eurythermal species exhibits more variation in plasma composition with temperature than do the more stenothermal salmonids. Seasonal changes were also observed. 3. Despite differences in detail the overall pattern of transport enzyme activity change with acclimation was comparable to that previously observed in trout. The goldfish is, however, notable for high levels of renal carbonic anhydrase activity, and presumably employs this system more than does the trout to drive urinary recovery of ions by H+:Na+ and HCO3-:Cl- exchanges. 相似文献

The effects of aquaculture related stressors on circulating levels of GH, IGF-I and for the first time, IGF-II in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated. Specifically, circulating growth factor levels were measured in four different experiments. Two 24 h confinement stressor procedures, (one with Atlantic salmon, the other with rainbow trout); following a hypo-osmotic stressor (freshwater bath) in salt water acclimated, adult, Atlantic salmon; and during a 22 day starvation and re-feeding protocol with juvenile Atlantic salmon. Handling and confinement resulted in significant decreases in circulating levels of all three growth factors in Atlantic salmon, and IGF-I and IGF-II (but not GH) in rainbow trout. A 2-3 h freshwater bath to remove gill parasites on a commercial Atlantic salmon aquaculture operation caused a significant decrease in circulating GH and IGF-I concentrations, but no significant change in IGF-II concentration, 2 days post bathing. Starvation for a period of 15 days in Atlantic salmon resulted in a significant increase in circulating GH levels and a significant decrease in circulating IGF-I and IGF-II. Re-feeding of starved fish for 7 days resulted in a significant decrease in GH to the concentration measured in continually fed fish, however re-feeding did not change plasma levels of IGF-I and IGF-II relative to continually starved fish. The results presented here confirm previously observed handling and confinement stressor induced effects on GH and IGF-I and, for the first time, on IGF-II in salmonids. Furthermore this study confirms the nutritional regulation of GH, IGF-I and IGF-II in juvenile Atlantic salmon. 相似文献

Euryhaline teleosts regulate their internal osmotic and ionic status across a wide range of external salinities. Studies often rely on measurements on plasma when osmoregulatory status is perturbed, whereas tissue measurements are used for small fish with limited blood volume. However, a direct comparison is lacking for plasma and various tissues. In the present study the relationships between plasma, white muscle and carcass were examined for a range of osmoregulatory variables in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following challenge with an acute (24 h) transfer from freshwater to a hyper-osmotic salinity of either 25 or 35. Significant increases in plasma osmolality, [Na+], [Cl?], [Ca2+], and [Mg2+] were observed when salinity was increased, but plasma [K+] was unaffected. The water content of both tissues showed reciprocal changes to plasma osmolality. The carcass content of all ions measured showed a significant increase at the highest ambient salinity. In white muscle, Na+, K+ and Mg2+ showed significant increases with external salinity, but Cl? and Ca2+ were unaffected. Measurements from both tissues can provide reliable surrogates for most of the plasma osmoregulatory variables except Cl? and Ca2+ when using white muscle tissue. In the case of internal regulation of K+ both tissues provide sensitive and quantitatively similar indicators of environmental salinity disturbance, whereas plasma does not. 相似文献
