Liver transcriptome changes in zebrafish during acclimation to transport-associated stress.
Liver plays a key role during the stress acclimation, and liver transcriptome analysis of shipped zebrafish could reveal the molecular adjustments that occur in the organ. Transcriptional changes in liver were analyzed with a 44 K oligo array using total RNA from fish prior to transport and during a...

Liver plays a key role during the stress acclimation, and liver transcriptome analysis of shipped zebrafish could reveal the molecular adjustments that occur in the organ. Transcriptional changes in liver were analyzed with a 44 K oligo array using total RNA from fish prior to transport and during a mock transport process--immediately after packing (0 h), at 48 and 72 h. Large numbers of genes related to a variety of biological processes and pathways were regulated, mainly during transport (at 48/72 h). Immediately after packing, transcripts of genes related to both gluconeogenesis and glycolysis were induced. During transport, induction of gluconeogenesis-linked genes and reduction of glycolysis-related genes may be supporting the increase in blood glucose levels. Inhibition of genes involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation may be pointing to the poor ability of fish to utilize energy from fatty acids, under transport conditions. Genes involved in some of the mechanisms that regulate body ammonia were also affected. Even though genes associated with certain transaminases were inhibited in liver, sustained glutamate deamination may have led to high ammonia accumulation in liver/body.
