胡子鲇脑型芳香化酶基因全长cDNA克隆及表达

采用RT-PCR和RACE法,克隆了胡子鲇(Clarias fuscus)脑型芳香化酶基因Cyp19a1b,应用荧光实时定量PCR检测其在前脑、下丘脑、脑垂体、肝、精巢和卵巢6种组织,以及性腺分化前后(出膜后12～30 d)全鱼中的mRNA表达。结果表明,Cyp19a1b cDNA全长2 347 bp,5′端非编码区219 bp,3′端[不包括poly(A)]596 bp,开放阅读框(ORF)1 503 bp,编码500个氨基酸,推测其编码蛋白质分子量为56.388 kD。序列分析及分子系统进化树结果表明,胡子鲇Cyp19a1b氨基酸序列与非洲鲇(Clarias gariepinus)Cyp19a1b同源性最高,达95.6%;与南方大口鲇(Silurusmeridionalis)、黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)、斑马鱼(Danio rerio)、斑点叉尾(Ictalurus punctatus)、赤点石斑鱼(Epinephelus akaara)、鲤(Cyprinus carpio)、鲫(Carassius auratus)及稀有鲫(Gobiocypris rarus)Cyp19a1b同源性达75%以上,但与上述鱼类的性腺型芳香化酶基因(Cyp19a1a)同源性低于62%,表明其为脑型芳香化酶,同源性分析结果与根据传统形态学和生化特征分类的结果相一致。荧光实时定量PCR结果显示,Cyp19a1b在胡子鲇上述组织中均有表达,其中下丘脑中表达量最高,肝和精巢最低,在脑部的表达存在明显的性别差异(P<0.05)。此外,在胡子鲇性腺分化前(出膜后12 d)Cyp19a1b即开始表达,但分化前后表达量无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结果暗示Cyp19a1b可能不是引起胡子鲇性腺分化的直接因素,但其可能通过"下丘脑垂体性腺轴"对性腺分化过程产生间接影响。     

硬骨鱼脑芳香化酶的表达调节、功能推测以及类固醇合成酶的研究进展

与哺乳动物不同,芳香化酶(aromatase,Cyp19)中的Cyp19a在硬骨鱼类的脑中表达强烈,这是由于该基因主要起源于性腺芳香化酶和脑芳香化酶,并得到了高效表达。转基因(cyp19a1b-GFP)鱼的原位杂交、免疫组化以及绿色荧光蛋白GFP的表达研究发现,脑芳香化酶仅在鱼的放射性胶质细胞(RGC)中表达,而这些细胞作为发育中的幼鱼和成鱼脑中的祖细胞始终贯穿于鱼类的整个生活史中。尽管脑芳香化酶主要分布于视前区和下丘脑的放射性胶质细胞,但在中枢神经系统和脊髓中也存在。Cyp19a1b的高表达通过雌激素和芳香化的雄激素上调芳香化酶的表达而实现,所以脑芳香化酶活性与性类固醇密切相关。这种表达机制通过雌激素受体与Cyp19a1b启动子上的雌激素反应组件结合实现。而细胞特异性是通过雌激素受体与特殊的神经胶质因子之间的强制协同完成。成鱼脑中芳香化酶除了对脑性别分化和性行为具有经典功能外,在放射性胶质细胞中的表达可能是维持鱼类脑部高增生活性的重要原因。     

不同倍性鲫鲤性腺型芳香化酶cyp19a1a基因cDNA的克隆及表达

为研究性腺型芳香化酶P450aromA(cyp19a1a基因编码)在不同倍性鲫鲤卵巢发育过程中的作用,实验采用同源克隆和cDNA末端快速扩增技术(RACE),获得了二倍体红鲫、三倍体湘云鲫和四倍体鲫鲤的cyp19a1a基因cDNA全长。结果显示,3种鱼cyp19a1a基因均编码517个氨基酸残基,而且编码的蛋白都包含P450aromA特有的跨膜螺旋区、I-螺旋区、Ozol’s肽区、芳香化酶特异保守区以及血红素结合区。采用RT-PCR分析cyp19a1a基因mRNA在3种不同倍性鱼类组织中的表达情况,结果显示,cyp19a1a基因主要在实验鱼的卵巢中表达,其次在精巢、脑、脾脏有少量表达。采用实时荧光定量PCR对cyp19a1a基因mRNA在不同倍性鱼卵巢中的表达进行分析,结果发现,cyp19a1a基因在不同倍性鱼的非繁殖期卵巢的表达都高于繁殖期卵巢,并且在繁殖期和非繁殖期,cyp19a1a基因在三倍体湘云鲫的表达量高于二倍体红鲫和四倍体鲫鲤。采用免疫组织化学方法对CYP19A蛋白在不同倍性鲫鲤卵巢中的定位进行分析,结果发现,CYP19A蛋白主要定位在滤泡细胞、Ⅳ时相卵母细胞的放射膜上以及Ⅱ时相卵母细胞的卵浆中。研究表明,性腺型芳香化酶在不同倍性鲫鲤卵巢发育过程中的表达存在一定的差异性,三倍体鱼cyp19a1a基因mRNA水平表达异常,推测与其不育有关联性。     

乌鳢脑型芳香化酶基因cDNA的克隆及组织表达分析

为了解乌鳢(Channa argus)性别分化相关机制,采用RT-PCR和RACE法克隆了乌鳢脑型芳香化酶基因Cyp19a1b cDNA部分序列,运用半定量RT-PCR和q PCR技术检测其在雌雄个体组织中的表达情况。结果显示,乌鳢Cyp19a1b cDNA部分序列为1 432 bp,包括120 bp 3'-UTR和1 311 bp编码区,编码436个氨基酸。序列比对表明乌鳢Cyp19a1b氨基酸序列包含三个功能保守区,与毛足鲈、平鲷和金钱鱼Cyp19a1b同源性较高,分别为89%、88%和88%。半定量RT-PCR和q PCR结果显示,乌鳢Cyp19a1b基因在雌、雄成鱼垂体中表达量高,在肠组织中表达量低,在雄鱼脑组织中呈现高表达而在雌鱼脑组织中则未表达,在其他组织均未检测到表达,表明乌鳢Cyp19a1b基因的表达存在组织特异性及功能差异。     

淇河鲫cyp19a1b基因的克隆表达及芳香化酶抑制剂对其表达的影响

为探索脑型芳香化酶基因(cyp19a1b)在雌核发育三倍体鱼淇河鲫性别决定与分化过程中的作用,利用RACE方法克隆淇河鲫cyp19a1b基因cDNA全长序列,采用Real-time PCR分析其在不同组织、胚胎及胚后不同发育时期的表达情况,同时检测芳香化酶抑制剂Letrozole诱导性逆转及腹腔注射人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)后cyp19a1b在脑中的表达情况。结果显示,淇河鲫cyp19a1b cDNA全长2 984 bp(GenBank ID:MF926270),包含132 bp5′非编码区,1 319 bp 3′非编码区,1 533 bp开放读码框,编码510个氨基酸残基;氨基酸序列比对及系统进化分析结果显示,淇河鲫Cyp19a1b与其他鲤科鱼类同源性较高,与哺乳类、爬行类等脊椎动物同源性较低,这与其分类地位一致;组织分布检测结果显示,cyp19a1b基因在淇河鲫脑中表达量最高,在卵巢等其他组织中表达量较低;Realtime PCR结果表明,在胚胎发育过程中cyp19a1b在外源精子刺激后从囊胚期开始上调,神经胚期达到最高,随后降低;出膜后随着发育的进行,该基因在脑中表达量逐步上调,在躯体中一直维持在较低水平;除此之外,伴随着Letrozole诱导的性逆转,cyp19a1b在脑中表达量降低;腹腔注射hCG可以促进cyp19a1b在脑中表达。研究表明,淇河鲫cyp19a1b基因可能通过参与神经系统的形成及神经内分泌活动,在性别决定与分化过程中起到一定的作用。     

不同倍性雌性虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)性体指数与肝体指数的关系

文章研究了二倍体和三倍体雌性虹鳟（Oncorhynchus mykiss）在13月龄、17月龄、21月龄和35月龄时的性体指数（GSI）和肝体指数（HSI）及其相关性。二倍体雌性虹鳟的GSI在13月龄时最小（0．083％），此后逐渐上升，至35月龄达到高峰（8．918％），变化幅度极大；HSI在13-31月龄呈上升趋势，至31月龄时达最大值（1．444％），然后下降。三倍体雌性虹鳟的GSI变化幅度很小，17月龄时达到最大值（0．103％），35月龄时最小（0．032％）；HSI在17月龄达到高峰（1．179％），而后下降，31月龄最低（1．067％）。试验结果表明，二倍体雌性虹鳟GSI与HSI的变化密切相关，可间接反映鱼类的生殖和生长状况；三倍体雌性虹鳟GSI与HSI无显著相关性，说明其肝脏与卵巢之间没有大规模的营养物质与能量的转移，有利于商品鱼的生产。     

不同倍性虹鳟卵黄蛋白原的组织定位

采用分步沉淀法提纯虹鳟卵黄蛋白,以同发育期二倍体虹鳟为对照,用免疫组化法对不同发育阶段的三倍体虹鳟性腺、肝脏、血液和肠道进行卵黄蛋白原(Vg)的细胞化学定位研究.试验结果表明:所纯化蛋白为与卵黄蛋白原具有相似免疫原性的卵黄脂磷蛋白,呈雌性特异性.性腺发育Ⅲ～Ⅴ期的二倍体雌性虹鳟,血液和肝细胞呈卵黄蛋白原阳性,Ⅳ～Ⅴ期卵巢呈卵黄蛋白原阳性,各发育期肠组织呈卵黄蛋白原阴性;性腺发育至Ⅰ～Ⅴ期的三倍体雌雄虹鳟及雄性二倍体虹鳟,其性腺、肝脏、血液和肠道组织呈卵黄蛋白原阴性.二倍体虹鳟外源性卵黄蛋白原在肝细胞内合成,经血液运送至卵巢,最终在卵母细胞中形成卵黄颗粒.由于三倍体雌性虹鳟卵巢发育受阻,无滤泡细胞分化,生殖细胞与体细胞的互作缺失,不能分泌足量的17β-E2以诱导Vg的合成,因而肝脏的Vg阴性并不能说明肝脏不具备合成Vg的能力,从卵黄发生的角度分析,卵黄蛋白原的缺乏不是导致三倍体虹鳟雌性不育的原因,而是其卵泡败育的结果.     

虹鳟杂交胚胎(2n♀×3n♂)的发育状况及其DNA倍性分析

雄性三倍体虹鳟(Oncorhyncus mykiss)可以发育至生理成熟并表现出较强的雄性副性征,性腺发育基本正常；雌性三倍体虹鳟性腺几乎不发育,并且存在着类雄性化的发育趋势.本研究拟通过对虹鳟杂交胚胎(2n♀×3n♂)发育状况及其DNA倍性的分析,进而确认三倍体虹鳟是否具有与二倍体虹鳟类似的生育能力并分析其原因.选取经两个世代家系选育的虹鳟优良品系二倍体雌性虹鳟作为母本,以热休克方法人工诱导的优质雄性三倍体虹鳟为父本,常规人工采集精卵授精,获得三倍体雄性与二倍体雌性杂交胚胎,观察杂交胚胎的发育进程,通过流式细胞仪检测杂交胚胎的DNA含量,进而与二倍体雌雄交配获得的胚胎对照确定杂交胚胎的倍性.结果表明,杂交胚胎的受精率、发眼率和孵化率均显著地低于对照组,杂交胚胎多数在发眼期之前死亡,破膜的胚胎在仔鱼期上浮前全部死亡.杂交胚胎的DNA含量分布范围较大,大致可以分为两个水平,接近84％的胚胎的DNA含量介于二倍体与三倍体之间,约为对照组DNA含量的2.5倍；约有16％的胚胎的DNA含量在三倍体和四倍体之间.本研究认为,染色体非整倍体化可能会引起杂交胚胎细胞核质不相容,进而导致基因表达调控紊乱,从而使杂交胚胎不能正常发育,无法完成由母体卵黄供给的内源营养向外源营养的转换,成为导致杂交胚胎发育过程中大量死亡,以及杂交仔鱼在破膜之后开始进食之前全部死亡的一个重要原因.     

斜带石斑鱼GtHRs在卵巢发育过程中的表达模式

对斜带石斑鱼(Epinephelus coioides)卵巢进行组织学分析,根据卵母细胞的发育阶段将卵巢发育划分为7个时期(I-VII),检测斜带石斑鱼不同发育时期卵巢中两种促性腺激素受体(gonadotropin receptors,GtHRs),即卵泡刺激素受体(follicle-stimulating hormone receptor,FSHR)和促黄体素受体(luteinizing hormone receptor,LHR)的mRNA水平,同步分析下游卵巢型芳香化酶基因(Cyp19a)的表达模式。实时荧光定量PCR(Real-time PCR)结果显示,FSHR的mRNA水平在I、II时期的卵巢中较低,在III时期开始上调,在IV、V时期显著升高,在VI时期显著下降。相比之下,LHR的转录水平在卵巢发育早期(I-IV)表达较低,在V时期开始有所升高,在VI时期达到峰值。卵巢内Cyp19a的mRNA在I III时期保持较低水平,在IV、V时期的表达显著增强,在VI时期表达明显减弱。在卵巢发育过程中,Cyp19a的整体表达模式与FSHR较为相似。上述结果表明,斜带石斑鱼FSHR和LHR均参与了卵巢发育的调控,但在不同发育时期功能不同。在卵巢发育过程中,FSHR可能是介导Cyp19a正调控的主要因子。本研究旨为阐明斜带石斑鱼GtH/GtHR信号系统在生殖调控过程中的作用提供基础依据。     

三倍体雌性虹鳟卵巢发育的类雄性化趋势

以4～35月龄三倍体雌性虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)为实验材料,以同源二倍体为对照,采用组织学和放射免疫方法,从性腺发育和生殖激素变化2个方面对其类雄性化现象进行了研究,并分析了类雄性化的原因.结果表明,三倍体虹鳟的卵原细胞可正常发育至卵黄发育前期卵母细胞(8月龄左右),此后卵母细胞败育,基质细胞包围卵原细胞形成卵原细胞簇,17月龄后卵巢中卵原细胞簇减少,出现与雄性精小囊结构相似的类生精细胞囊结构;26～35月龄类生精细胞囊逐渐成为性腺的主要成分,在类生精细胞囊内出现大量坏死的细胞;13月龄后三倍体雌性虹鳟血清中GtH-Ⅰ、GtH-Ⅱ、17β-E2含量显著低于同期二倍体虹鳟,睾酮(T)在21月龄后持续上升,并显著高于同期二倍体(P＜0.05).17月龄后三倍体雌性虹鳟卵巢发育呈现类雄性化趋势,但不能完成精子发生全部过程.由于性腺中生殖细胞与体细胞之间正常的相互作用缺失,合成类固醇的滤泡细胞发育分化受阻,T芳化为17β-E2途径中断,导致血液中T浓度升高,进而使性原细胞的分化受到了诱导,因而卵巢发育呈现类雄性化趋势.     

大西洋鲑、三倍体虹鳟和金鳟的肌肉营养成分与品质特性

为了解大西洋鲑(Salmo salar)、三倍体虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)、金鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)3种鱼肌肉营养成分和品质特性,利用生化分析、物性分析方法分析3种鱼肌肉的营养成分、氨基酸和脂肪酸组成、肉色、系水力和质构特性。结果表明,大西洋鲑、三倍体虹鳟、金鳟肌肉的水分质量分数分别为62.91%、67.15%、73.02%,粗蛋白质量分数分别为22.39%、21.03%、22.11%,粗脂肪质量分数分别为14.64%、17.16%、5.11%。3种鱼肌肉的滴水损失、黄色值(b~*)、羟脯氨酸含量、内聚性均显著不差异(P0.05)。3种鱼肌肉的硬度和咀嚼性由低到高依次为大西洋鲑、三倍体虹鳟、金鳟,而pH值的结果则与之相反(P0.05)。大西洋鲑和三倍体虹鳟肌肉的灰分、解冻损失、蒸煮损失、回复性、弹性和红色值(a~*)差异不显著(P0.05),但灰分、蒸煮损失、回复性均小于金鳟肌肉的对应指标(P0.05),弹性和红色值(a~*)则均大于金鳟肌肉的对应指标(P0.05)。大西洋鲑、三倍体虹鳟、金鳟肌肉中必需氨基酸含量占氨基酸总量分别为42.28%、41.84%、41.63%(质量分数),必需氨基酸/非必需氨基酸(EAA/NEAA)比值分别为73.25%、71.94%、71.32%,均符合联合国粮农组织/世界卫生组织(FAO/WHO)对优质蛋白质的评价标准;3种鱼肌肉中均检测到22种脂肪酸,组成丰富,其中不饱和脂肪酸含量较高。综上所述,3种鱼的肌肉都是符合人体营养需求的优质水产品,其中大西洋鲑和三倍体虹鳟肉质接近,且都优于金鳟的肉质。     

Maternal variation in juvenile survival and growth of triploid hybrids between female rainbow trout and male brown trout and brook charr

Related sib‐groups of rainbow trout × brown trout and rainbow trout × brook charr triploid hybrids and monospecific diploid and triploid rainbow trout controls were obtained from a common set of rainbow trout dams. On the basis of hybrid juvenile performances, 10 sib‐groups were selected and the corresponding diploid rainbow trouts were raised up to adult stage. Females from each group of rainbow trout were used to produce a second generation of hybrid progeny, the performances of which were analysed for grandmaternal variation and relation with first‐generation relatives. Results showed that hybrid traits (alevin yield and weight, survival and growth of fingerlings) were strongly influenced by maternal origin, and could be correlated to those of rainbow trout controls, but that maternal abilities had a low rate of inheritance. It was concluded that little improvement can be expected through selective breeding within parental populations.     

Growth and Survival of Intrastrain and Interstrain Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Triploids1

Triploid rainbow trout exhibit improved survival and extended growth during sexual maturation, compared to their diploid counterparts. However, there have been few benefits demonstrated prior to sexual maturation. This study was undertaken to investigate the possibility of improving growth and survival parameters in triploids through interstrain crosses. Triploids were induced by heat shocking fertilized eggs from intra- and interstrain crosses of two rainbow trout strains. The four triploid groups and their diploid counterpart groups were reared to 233 days post-hatching and analyzed for growth and survival characteristics. Compared with diploids, triploids had significantly (P < 0.05) higher mortalities during the first 100 days post-fertilization, primarily just prior to and after hatching. However, during the remainder of the study triploids exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) lower mortalities than diploids. During the first 50 days of rearing all four triploid groups were significantly shorter and lighter than their diploid counterparts. The growth of the triploid groups later in the study varied considerably. At the conclusion of the rearing phase, one interstrain triploid group was significantly (P < 0.05) longer than its diploid counterpart, although not significantly heavier. The other triploid groups were either significantly smaller than, or equal to the diploids. Analysis of variance indicated that the growth of triploid rainbow trout was significantly affected by maternal strain effects. These results suggest that the use of specific strains and crosses may improve the growth of triploid rainbow trout.     

The growth and reproductive endocrinology of adult triploid Pacific salmonids

This paper describes the effect of triploidy on growth and reproductive endocrinology in the months leading up to and including spawning in rainbow trout,Salmo gairdneri, and pink salmon,Oncorhynchus gorbuscha. Growth rates were the same for diploid and triploid rainbow trout, but triploid female pink salmon were smaller than maturing diploid females and diploid and triploid males of the same age. Triploid males of both species developed typical secondary sexual characteristics and had normal endocrine profiles, although their cycle appeared to be delayed by about one month. Triploid females remained silvery in appearance and showed no endocrine signs of maturation, even at the level of the pituitary. Thus, although triploids of both sexes are genetically sterile, only the females do not undergo physiological maturation.Reported in part at the Third International Symposium on Reproductive Physiology of Fish, St. John's, Newfoundland, August 2–7, 1987.     

Inter‐specific hybridization between Black Sea trout (Salmo labrax Pallas, 1814) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792)

Thermal shock‐induced triploid and unshocked control hybrids between rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Black Sea trout (Salmo labrax) and their parental species were produced under hatchery condition by using heat shocks. Triploidization reduced eyed egg rate and alevin yield in all groups. Low survival rate was observed in both shock‐induced triploid hybrid and non‐shock‐induced control hybrids. Although hybrids demonstrated low body weight during the first feeding stage, they reached higher body weight by day 200 when compared with Black Sea trout and rainbow trout. A higher specific growth rate was calculated as 3.60 in the triploid hybrid groups, 1.41 in the triploid Black Sea trout groups and 2.27 in the triploid rainbow trout groups between days 110 and 200. A lower condition factor was determined in the hybrid than in the diploid parental species. A negative value of mid‐parent heterosis (MPH) performance was deected for condition factor, and a favourable MPH was detected for specific growth rate and weight in hybrids.     

Survival, growth and dressing traits of triploid hybrids between rainbow trout and three charr species

Triploid hybrids between female rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and male brook charr Salvelinus fontinalis, Arctic charr S. alpinus and lake charr S. namaycush, together with diploid and triploid rainbow trout controls from the same dams, were tested in freshwater farming up to their fourth year of life. All hybrids displayed lower survival rates than the controls, the weakest genotype being the Arctic charr hybrid. Mortalities were mostly observed at the embryonic and larval stages and at the adult stage as a consequence of male sexual maturation. Growth of all hybrids was hindered (compared with controls) during the first year, but only moderate differences remained after 3 years. Sexual maturation resulted in a weight inferiority of males in all genotypes. As to carcass traits, female hybrids displayed a slightly higher dressing percentage than female triploid rainbow trout, as a result of lower visceral losses. These results are discussed with reference to hybrid resistance to rhabdoviruses from the viewpoint of fish farming improvement.     

二倍体与三倍体虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)红细胞及部分血液指标的比较

对三倍体和二倍体虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)的红细胞大小(长、短径值和体积)、形态及部分血液指标(红细胞数、血红蛋白、红细胞压积、红细胞脆性和白细胞数)进行了比较。结果表明:三倍体虹鳟红细胞体积与二倍体比值为1.51∶1,细胞核大小与二倍体比值为1.49∶1,与理论值(1.5∶1)比较均无显著差异(P>0.05)。二倍体红细胞短径/长径比值为0.63,呈现出椭圆形;三倍体红细胞短径/长径比值为0.60,呈现出明显的长椭圆形,并有19%的红细胞有哑铃形或分裂的细胞核,这可作为区别二倍体鱼类的一个重要鉴定标志。三倍体虹鳟的红细胞数、红细胞压积和红细胞脆性明显小于二倍体(P<0.05),而血红蛋白与白细胞数与二倍体比较无明显差异(P>0.05)。     

二倍体和三倍体虹鳟精液低温保存寿命的研究

与二倍体（2n组）精原液做比较,以不同密度为组别,研究了4℃下两组（3n-HD和3n-LD）三倍体虹鳟（Oncorhynchus mykiss）精原液的保存时限。结果发现,随着保存时间的延长,精液中精子的活力和寿命逐渐降低。2n组、3n-HD组和3n-LD组虹鳟精原液中精子分别在保存5d、4.5d和12.5d后失去活力;在7d、15d和14.5 d后死亡,即三倍体虹鳟精原液4℃保存时间约为二倍体的2倍,说明低温短期保存三倍体虹鳟精原液可以取得较好效果。     

Paternal variation in juvenile survival and growth of the triploid hybrid between female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) and male brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)

Abstract Related sib‐groups of rainbow trout × brown trout triploid hybrid and monospecific brown trout controls were obtained from a common set of brown trout sires. On the basis of hybrid juvenile survival and growth, 10 sib‐groups were selected and the corresponding brown trouts were raised up to adult stage. Males from each group of brown trout were used to produce a second generation of hybrid progeny, the performances of which were analysed for grandpaternal variation and relation with first generation relatives. Results showed that hybrid traits were influenced by paternal and grandpaternal origin, but that there was little relation between hybrids and brown trouts, or between successive generations of hybrids.
