河口及近岸海域低氧环境对水生动物的影响

水体溶解氧浓度低于2 mg/L时,通常称水体为低氧或缺氧(hypoxia)。目前,中国的长江口等许多河口及近岸海域的底层水体出现了季节性低氧区,这些低氧区对鱼类等水生动物及海洋生态环境的影响目前仍不十分清楚,这应引起政府及研究部门的关注。本文综述了低氧区的成因,分析了低氧对水生动物的影响,特别是近年来研究较多的水生动物对低氧的分子响应研究进展,最后综述了低氧对海洋生态系统的影响。我国未来的研究应注重低氧区海洋物理、海洋生物等基础数据的收集,同时,要加强低氧区对我国主要渔场影响的研究。     

鱼类高度不饱和脂肪酸合成的影响因素及其机理

由于海水鱼类的高度不饱和脂肪酸(HUFA)合成能力一般缺乏或很弱,所以其配合饲料中需要添加较高比例富含HUFA的鱼油才能满足其正常生理功能的需要。随着鱼油资源的日益紧缺,研究者们试图寻找提高鱼体内源性HUFA合成能力的方法或途径,以提高配合饲料中植物油替代鱼油的比例,而HUFA合成调控机制的阐明将有助于达到此目的。本文着重介绍影响鱼类HUFA生物合成的主要因素及其作用机理,包括不同脂肪源、日粮中n-3/n-6多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)比例、维生素和矿物质等营养因子,温度、盐度、光周期等环境因子,以及转录因子、激素与遗传因子等,以期为鱼类HUFA合成调控机制的深入研究提供参考。     

Actions of epinephrine on the contractility of fast and slow skeletal muscle fibres in teleosts

Fast and slow muscle fibers were isolated from the myotomes of atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) and sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius L.). Epinephrine was found to have no effect on twitch or sub-tetanic contractions in fast muscle fibres. Isoprenaline (10^–6M) had no effect on the contractility of slow muscle fibres. In contrast, epinephrine elicited a dose-dependent decrease in the half-time for twitch relaxation (t_1/2r), and in most cases a decrease in twitch amplitude. The maximum decrease in t_1/2r was around 5–20% of control values (at 10^–6M epinephrine), with a half maximal response at about 30 nmol l^–1. Responses to epinephrine were unaffected by propranolol and reversed by phentolamine, consistent with the stimulation of -adrenoreceptors. 10^–6M epinephrine produced a rise in cAMP levels from 1.8 to 3.1 pmol mg dry wt^–1 in cod slow fibres. However, the cellular mechanism underlying the action of epinephrine is unclear since forskolin, a potent activator of adenylate cyclase activity, where it has been investigated, was found to increase not decrease twitch duration and amplitude. The responses of fast and slow fibres to epinephrine and its antagonists were similar in summer (13°C) and winter acclimatized (5–6°C) sculpin.It is suggested that epinephrine may act to modulate the active state of slow muscle fibres at high cruising speeds and thereby increase swimming performance.     

Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and fibrinogen values in Mediterranean marine teleosts

Coagulation profiles for marine fish were determined with the standard global screening assays, the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) using homologous tissue thromboplastin and phospholipid extracts to investigate species-specificity of brain thromboplastins, and to establish a base-line coagulation profile for marine fish of economical importance for Mediterranean aquaculture (sea bream, Sparus aurata, sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, red porgy, Pagrus pagrus, common dentex, Dentex dentex). Sea bass and sea bream displayed the shortest PT (9.0–15.0 s) and APTT (22.1–35.8 s) in comparison to the other species (PT: 24.8–37.2 s, APTT: 39.6–66.4 s). Red porgy displayed the lowest fibrinogen value (1.2–2.3 g l^–1), while no differences were found among the other species (2.2–2.8 g l^–1). It is concluded that the interaction of the tissue factor and plasma clotting factor is relatively species specific and that the use of homologous brain extracts is preferable for haemostasis study in marine fish.

Ecoepidemiology of the effects of pollution on reproduction and survival of early life stages in teleosts

Evidence from the field and laboratory has shown that reproduction and early life-stage survival of several species of teleost fishes have been adversely affected following the release of several classes of synthetic, organic chemicals into the environment. Field studies from many geographic areas over several decades have found associations between exposure to synthetic chemicals in the environment and effects on hatchability, embryological success and larval survival. In more recent research, exposure to sewage treatment and bleached kraft mill effluents has been correlated with changes in reproductive system development and alterations in the endocrine physiology of wild teleost fishes. Loss of fecundity and damage during various stages of development and reproduction have been associated with exposure to endocrine disruptors, including many currently used chemicals. The supporting laboratory studies have confirmed that various wild fish species are sensitive to certain synthetic chemicals at levels of exposure of parts per billion and parts per trillion, concentrations that are biochemically, physiologically, and environmentally relevant. This paper reviews the relevant field and laboratory research, and organizes the studies using the ecoepidemiological criteria of time-order, strength of association, specificity, consistency on replication, coherence and predictive performance. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that ambient concentrations of synthetic chemicals in some regions are at or above concentrations at which certain species could be affected. The viability of fishery resources must be linked not only to the quantity of habitat but also to the quality of habitat.     

低氧胁迫对瘤背石磺Toll样受体4、血细胞和免疫酶活性的影响

为探究瘤背石磺面临低氧环境时固有免疫的应激机制,以RACE法对瘤背石磺TLR4 基因进行全长克隆,并进行生物信息学分析,测定了低氧胁迫下瘤背石磺TLR4基因的表达变化,以及分析了血细胞活力和溶菌酶（LSZ）活性、肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性和碱性磷酸酶（ALP）活性。结果显示,瘤背石磺TLR4基因cDNA全长共3 605 bp,包括编码956 aa氨基酸的2 817 bp开放阅读框。系统进化树表明瘤背石磺TLR4基因与光滑双脐螺TLR4基因的进化地位较为接近。qRT-PCR结果显示TLR4基因在瘤背石磺7个组织中均有表达,其中表达量最高的是肝脏。低氧胁迫下,各组织中TLR4基因的表达量皆显著上升,其中神经节在4h时率先达到峰值。此外,血细胞活力、LSZ活性、ALP活性都是呈先下降后上升的趋势,而SOD活性呈先上升再下降再上升的趋势,波动幅度最为明显。研究结果初步说明了TLR4的生理功能,为探究潮间带生物免疫系统的低氧应激机制提供理论参考。     

Cardiac activity,ventilation rate and acid-base regulation in rainbow trout exposed to hypoxia and combined hypoxia and hypercapnia

A computerised system for non-invasive monitoring of heart and ventilation rates and the time intervals between heart beats and between breaths was developed and used to investigate cardio-respiratory changes in rainbow trout exposed to hypoxia and to combined hypoxia and hypercapnia. Upon exposure to hypoxia and hypoxia-hypercapnia the arterial O₂ tension decreased from about 90 mmHg to about 30 mmHg. Acid-base changes were small in hypoxia whereas exposure to combined hypoxia-hypercapnia caused a large extracellular respiratory acidosis. This acidosis was completely compensated within 24h by accumulation of bicarbonate in plasma to concentrations twice the normoxic values. The ventilation rate was increased to higher values in hypoxic-hypercapnic trout than in hypoxic trout. In contrast to previous reports, the heart rate increased in hypoxia. On top of the tachycardia response to hypoxia, the heart rate was governed by circadian rhythms, with higher heart rates during the day than during the night. The time interval between heart beats varied considerably in normoxic fish. Hypoxia strongly reduced this variability, which may originate in a reduced cholinergic tone to the heart. The width of the frequency distribution of the time intervals between breaths was not affected by hypoxia. The degree of cardio-respiratory synchronization was low in both normoxic and in hypoxic and hypoxic-hypercapnic trout.     

The use of MS 222 (tricaine methanesulphonate) as an anaesthetic for routine blood sampling in three species of marine teleosts

The effects of the anaesthetic MS 222 on certain blood parameters in three species of marine flatfish were studied. Hyperglycaemia was observed in turbot (S. maximus), with glucose levels significantly increased from 29.29 ± 1.24 to 49.37 ± 2.01 mg/100 ml at 10°C and from 29.15 ± 1.06 to 52.60 ± 3.97 mg/100 ml at 15°C. Plasma magnesium was elevated in both plaice, P. platessa (1.91 ± 0.09 to 3.41 ± 0.59 mmol/l) and dabs, L. limanda (1.39 ± 0.07 to 7.89 ± 1.66 mmol/l) held at 10°C. Plasma chloride was markedly in-creased in dabs (150.09 ± 1.12 to 166.92 ± 2.08 mmol/l) but decreased in both turbot groups, from 168.37 ± 4.78 to 146.88 ± 2.86 mmol/l at 10°C and 155.77 ± 3.67 to 140.67 ± 1.57 at 15°C. The implications for the use of MS 222 as an anaesthetic for these marine species are discussed.     

Effects of sublethal, acidic aluminum exposure on blood ions and metabolites, cardiac output, heart rate, and stroke volume of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Doppler flow probes were fitted around the ventral aorta of rainbow trout, which were exposed to combinations of pH and aluminum (pH 5.1–6.2, Al 0–80 g l^–1) for 60 h. Fish accumulated Al at the gill and exhibited decreased blood Na⁺, Cl^–, and Ca²⁺ concentrations, and increased K⁺, hematocrit, hemoglobin, glucose, and lactate, indicating increasing ionoregulatory disturbance with increasing Al concentration. Fish exposed to ambient water (6.2) or low-pH (5.3) water without Al exhibited slight reductions in heart rates, as well as increased stroke volume, resulting in little variation in cardiac output. In the presence of Al (20 to 40 g l^–1) at low pH (5.1–5.3), fish increased their heart rate slightly and generally maintained their stroke volume, resulting in increased cardiac output in the first two days of exposure. At the highest Al concentration (80 g l^–1, pH 5.1), tachycardia was observed, concomitant with a decrease in stroke volume. The ionoregulatory imbalance and resulting increased blood viscosity explain these increases in heart rate rather than stroke volume in fish exposed to high concentrations of Al.     

鱼类低氧胁迫及营养调控和应对研究进展

为了探究miR-17a-5p在鲢低氧胁迫下的功能,在前期鲢small RNA测序的基础上对鲢miR-17a-5p进行靶基因预测及功能富集分析,通过双荧光素酶活性验证其与HIF-1α的靶向关系,并检测低氧胁迫下miR-17a-5p和其靶基因在鲢肝脏、脑、心脏和鳃四个组织中的动态表达特征。结果显示,鲢miR-17a-5p在不同物种间高度保守,预测出381个miR-17a-5p的潜在靶基因显著富集在硫代谢、mTOR信号通路以及萜类骨架的生物合成3个KEGG信号通路上。miR-17a-5p可与HIF-1α mRNA的3′UTR结合,并降低HIF-1α mRNA水平,低氧胁迫下miR-17a-5p的表达呈下降趋势,而HIF-1α表达则呈上升趋势;3个显著富集KEGG通路中的11个miR-17a-5p潜在靶基因在低氧胁迫过程中的不同组织中的表达,尤其是肝脏中的表达,除SGK1外,均呈显著上升趋势。研究表明,低氧胁迫下鲢各组织中miR-17a-5p的表达下调减弱了其对靶基因的抑制作用,进而导致HIF-1α、ddit4和Lrp5等响应低氧胁迫的基因表达上调。本研究为低氧胁迫下鲢miRNA的表达与调控机制提供新见解,也为培育耐低氧的鲢新品系(种)提供了参考。

几种海藻中溴过氧化物酶的筛选及酶学性质

溴过氧化物酶(BrPOD)是具有特殊功能的过氧化物酶,海藻是其主要来源。对几种中国海域的红藻如角叉菜(Chondrus ocellatus)、龙须菜(Gracilaria sjoestedtii)、珊瑚藻(Corallina officinalis)进行了溴过氧化物酶的藻种筛选,并对酶活较高的珊瑚藻进行溴过氧化物酶分离纯化及性质的研究。通过硫酸铵沉淀、DEAE-cellulose 52离子交换层析、Sephadex G-100凝胶层析等方法,从珊瑚藻中分离得到溴过氧化物酶。对该酶性质研究表明,该酶分子量较大,表观分子量为64 kD;溴化单氯甲酮的最适pH值为6.0;pH在5.0-9.0时酶活性稳定;在30-70℃温度范围内酶活性稳定;Ca2 、Co2 、Cu2 、Mn2 、NaF和EDTA等化合物使溴过氧化物酶活性下降,钒酸盐能提高酶活性。反应动力学实验表明,该酶对Br-、H2O2的Km分别为7.40 mmol/L和96.09μmol/L。     

饲料中淀粉和糊精对红鳍东方鲀生长和低氧耐受性的影响

在水产养殖鱼粉鱼油供应相对紧缺的背景下,充分挖掘碳水化合物(糖类)的营养功能具有重要意义。低氧是水产养殖中一种常见的环境应激。大量研究表明,鱼类在低氧条件下主要利用糖来提供能量,但饲料糖源对红鳍东方鲀(Takifugu rubripes)的生长和急性低氧耐受性尚未见报道。本研究分别在饲料中添加玉米淀粉或糊精(玉米淀粉水解物)作为糖源,养殖8周后,测定生长、急性低氧存活率、代谢产物和低氧诱导因子(HIF)信号通路等指标。结果显示,与淀粉组相比,糊精虽然不会影响红鳍东方鲀的生长性能和鱼体成分,但显著提高了其在急性低氧条件下的存活率。在常氧条件下,淀粉组和糊精组肝脏的糖原和乳酸含量均无显著差异(P>0.05),但在低氧条件下,糊精组肝脏的乳酸含量和乳酸脱氢酶基因表达量均显著高于淀粉组(P<0.05)。同时,糊精组肝脏hif-1α (hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha)和hif-3α (hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha, like)、肌肉hif-1α和vegfa (vascular endothelial growth factor A)的表达量均显著高于淀粉组(P<0.05)。在低氧条件下,糊精组血清甘油三酯(TG)含量显著升高,但淀粉组血清和肝脏的TG含量在低氧后却显著下降(P<0.05)。与常氧组相比,糊精组在低氧后的肌肉总蛋白含量、肝脏蛋白激酶B (v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1, akt1)和哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase, mtor)基因表达量均显著降低,但淀粉组肝脏的mtor基因表达在低氧后却显著升高(P<0.05)。综上所述,用易消化的糊精替代玉米淀粉激活了HIF信号通路介导的无氧糖酵解来为鱼体提供更多的能量,同时还可以抑制脂肪的分解和蛋白质的合成,减少了O2的消耗,从而提高了红鳍东方鲀对急性低氧的耐受性。本研究结果为鱼类耐低氧饲料的设计和健康养殖提供了重要参考。     

Chromatographic and immunological identification of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in five marine teleosts

Brain extracts from bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, red seabream, Pagrus major, black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, red spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara and Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and specific radioimmunoassays. Immunoreactive material co-eluting from HPLC with salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and chicken GnRH-II, respectively, was found in all five species. In addition, a GnRH immunoreactive fraction showing the same HPLC retention time as lamprey GnRH-I was detected in the brain extracts of all species examined when using an unspecific radioimmunoassay which detects several GnRH forms, including lamprey GnRH-I. In the Japanese flounder brain extract, a fourth GnRH immunoreactive fraction was detected with the unspecific radioimmunoassay which did not co-elute with any of the six synthetic GnRH standards used in the present study.
