Cadmium exposure elicited dynamic RNA mA modification and epi-transcriptomic regulation in the Pacific whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei.

N6-methyladenosine (mA) methylation is the most prevalent post-transcriptional RNA modification in eukaryotic organisms, but its roles in the regulation of physiological resistance of marine crustaceans to heavy metal pollutants are poorly understood. In this study, the transcriptome-wide mA RNA methylation profiles and dynamic mA changes induced by acute Cd exposure in the the pacific whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were comprehensively analyzed. Cd toxicity caused a significant reduction in global RNA mA methylation level, with major mA regulators including the mA methyltransferase METTL3 and the mA binding protein YTHDF2 showing declined expression.

Effects of salinity on behavior and reproductive toxicity of BPA in adult marine medaka.

Salinity is an important environmental factor influencing the toxicity of chemicals. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental endocrine disruptor with adverse effects on aquatic organisms, such as fish. However, the influence of salinity on the biotoxicity of BPA and the underlying mechanism are unclear.

Reproductive toxic effects of chronic exposure to bisphenol A and its analogues in marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma).

As awareness of BPA's health risks has increased, many countries and regions have implemented strict controls on its use. Consequently, bisphenol analogues like BPF and BPAF are being increasingly used as substitutes. However, these compounds are also becoming increasingly prevalent in the environment due to production, use and disposal processes.

Single-cell transcriptome landscape of zebrafish liver reveals hepatocytes and immune cell interactions in understanding nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common chronic liver disease in the world. Immunity is the major contributing factor in NAFLD; however, the interaction of immune cells and hepatocytes in disease progression has not been fully elucidated. As a popular species for studying NAFLD, zebrafish, whose liver is a complex immune system mediated by immune cells and non-immune cells in maintaining immune tolerance and homeostasis.

The First High-Quality Chromosome-Level Genome of the Lutjanus erythropterus (Bloch, 1790) Using Single-Tube Long Fragment Reads and Hi-C Technologies.

Lutjanus erythropterus (Bloch, 1790), a Perciformes from the Lutjanidae family, is a commercially important species because of its taste and abundance. Despite the increase in genome resources in recent years, few genome assemblies are available within this fish family for comparative and functional studies. In this study, we determined the chromosomal genome of Crimson snapper using high-throughput Single-Tube Long Fragment Reads sequencing technology and Hi-C data.

The first high-quality chromosome-level genome of Eretmochelys imbricata using HiFi and Hi-C data.

Eretmochelys imbricata, a critically endangered sea turtle inhabiting tropical oceans and protected across the world, had an unknown genome sequence until now. In this study, we used HiFi reads and Hi-C technology to assemble a high-quality, chromosome-level genome of E. imbricata.

Effects of bisphenols on lipid metabolism and neuro-cardiovascular toxicity in marine medaka larvae.

Bisphenols are environmental endocrine disruptors that have detrimental effects on aquatic organisms. Using marine medaka larvae, this study explored the effects of bisphenol compounds [bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol AF (BPAF)] on the early growth and development of aquatic organisms. Marine medaka larvae were exposed to bisphenol compounds at concentrations of 0.

Comparative Analysis of Central Corneal Thickness in Four Fish Models.

To understand the left-right asymmetry of vertebrate eyes, this study measured the central corneal thickness (CCT) of , , , and zebrafish with optical coherence tomography. The results showed that the CCTs were significant differences among different species and groups, even between the right and left eyes of each fish. The values of the CCTs (mean ± SD, μm) for the four species were 104.

Short-term exposure to norethisterone affected swimming behavior and antioxidant enzyme activity of medaka larvae, and led to masculinization in the adult population.

Norethisterone (NET), one of the synthetic progestins, is detected with increasing frequency in the water environment and distributed in the ocean, with a potential toxicity risk to marine organisms. However, current studies on the adverse effects of progestins (including NET) in aquatic environments have focused on freshwater organisms, mainly fish. In the present, marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) larvae were exposed to 91.

Effects of bisphenol AF on growth, behavior, histology and gene expression in marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma).

Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is one of the substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA), which has endocrine-disrupting, reproductive and neurological toxicity. BPAF has frequently been detected in the aquatic environment, which has been a long-term threat to the health of aquatic organisms. In this study, female marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) were exposed to 6.

Long-term exposure to bisphenol A and its analogues alters the behavior of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) and causes hepatic injury.

Bisphenols (BPA, BPF, and BPAF) are widely present in the aquatic environment and have various adverse effects on aquatic organisms. However, their hepatic toxicity in marine fish is not fully understood. Hence, we examined the growth parameters, histological features, antioxidant defense mechanisms, and gene expression profiles in the livers of marine medaka after exposure to single and combined bisphenols for 70 days.

SMRT Sequencing of the Full-Length Transcriptome of the .

is an important aquatic economic shellfish with high medicinal value. However, because has no reference genome, a lot of molecular biology research cannot be carried out, so the analysis of its transcripts is an important step to study the regulatory genes of various substances in .
