“…The HSP family is recognized for its rapid response to heat stress, with most of its genes being upregulated in response to temperature [ 42 , 43 ]. This family of chaperone proteins plays a crucial role in safeguarding an organism from stress and restoring cellular homeostasis [ 44 , 45 ]. We aimed to screen genes and pathways from our data that were upregulated, similar to the HSP family, in response to high temperatures in a short period.…”

As a common influencing factor in the environment, temperature greatly influences the fish that live in the water all their life. The essential economic fish Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis), a benthic fish, will experience both physiological and behavioral changes due to increases in temperature. The brain, as the central hub of fish and a crucial regulatory organ, is particularly sensitive to temperature changes and will be affected. However, previous research has mainly concentrated on the impact of temperature on the gonads of C. semilaevis. Instead, our study examines the brain using transcriptomics to investigate specific genes and pathways that can quickly respond to temperature changes. The fish were subjected to various periods of heat stress (1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 5 h) before extracting the brain for transcriptome analysis. After conducting transcriptomic analyses, we identified distinct genes and pathways in males and females. The pathways were mainly related to cortisol synthesis and secretion, neuroactive ligand–receptor interactions, TGF beta signaling pathway, and JAK/STAT signaling pathway, while the genes included the HSP family, tshr, c-fos, c-jun, cxcr4, camk2b, and igf2. Our study offers valuable insights into the regulation mechanisms of the brain’s response to temperature stress.

“…Breeding for slower growth that will be more adapted to warmer temperatures could be beneficial. Moreover, to ensure sustainable livestock production in the face of climate change, research must focus on discovering numerous candidate genes like heat shock protein 70, which codes for thermotolerance (Abare et al., 2023 ; Balakrishnan et al., 2022 ). In addition to this, epigenetic strategies such as perinatal thermal manipulation could help in the thermotolerance of broiler chickens (Bilalissi et al., 2022 ; Meteyake et al., 2020 ; Oke et al., 2020 ; Oke et al., 2021b ; Tona et al., 2022 ).…”

Climate change has emerged as a significant occurrence that adversely affects broiler production, especially in tropical climates. Broiler chickens, bred for rapid growth and high meat production, rely heavily on optimal environmental conditions to achieve their genetic potential. However, climate change disrupts these conditions and poses numerous challenges for broiler production. One of the primary impacts of climate change on broiler production is the decreased ability of birds to attain their genetic potential for faster growth. Broilers are bred to possess specific genetic traits that enable them to grow rapidly and efficiently convert feed into meat. However, in tropical climates affected by climate change, the consequent rise in daily temperatures, increased humidity and altered precipitation patterns create an unfavourable environment for broilers. These conditions impede their growth and development, preventing them from reaching their maximum genetic influence, which is crucial for achieving desirable production outcomes. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates the existing challenges faced by broiler production systems. Higher feed costs impact the industry's economic viability and limit the availability of quality nutrition for the birds, further hampering their growth potential. In addition to feed scarcity, climate change also predisposes broiler chickens to thermal stress. This review collates existing information on climate change and its impact on broiler production, including nutrition, immune function, health and disease susceptibility. It also summarizes the challenges of broiler production under hot and humid climate conditions with different approaches to ameliorating the effects of harsh climatic conditions in poultry.

“…Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of stress proteins found widespread in organisms ( Balakrishnan, et al, 2023 ). Heat shock proteins can be categorized into different families based on their size and functions, including HSP110, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, small molecule heat shock proteins, and others ( Javid et al, 2022 ).…”
