Transcriptomic approach to the study of osmoregulation in the European eelAnguilla anguilla

Abstract: In euryhaline teleosts, osmoregulation is a fundamental and dynamic process that is essential for the maintenance of ion and water balance, especially when fish migrate between fresh water (FW) and sea water (SW) environments. The European eel has proved to be an excellent model species to study the molecular and physiological adaptations associated with this osmoregulatory plasticity. The life cycle of the European eel includes two migratory periods, the second being the migration of FW eels back to the Sarga… Show more

“…For instance, in the brackish medaka (Oryzias dancena), it is preferentially expressed in the intestine and the kidney (Kang et al, 2010). NKCC2 expression has been demonstrated to be salinity dependent and in European eels (Anguilla anguilla), for example, its expression in the intestine in seawater is up to 7-fold higher than in freshwater (Kalujnaia et al, 2007). In our study in the sea bream, NKCC2 was found to be expressed in both the anterior intestine and the rectum.…”

“…Recent studies have addressed components of the tight junction complex, especially the large family of claudin isoforms, for their involvement in paracellular regulation of hydromineral balance in fish (Bagherie-Lachidan et al, 2008;Bagherie-Lachidan et al, 2009;Boutet et al, 2006;Bui et al, 2010;Chasiotis et al, 2010;Kalujnaia et al, 2007;Tipsmark et al, 2008b;Tipsmark et al, 2008c;Tipsmark et al, 2008a). Compared with the 24 isoforms of claudins in humans, fish have considerably increased their repertoire of claudin isoforms.…”

“…Experiments show that a subset of genes are differentially expressed between marine and freshwater environments for a variety of teleosts, such as black-chinned tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) (64), European eel (Anguilla anguilla) (26), European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) (6) longjaw mudsucker (Gillichthys mirabilis) (14), and sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) (15). However, though they provide extensive lists of candidate genes, these studies are not directed at addressing the genetic basis of variation in gene expression, nor do they examine the role of differential gene regulation in intraspecific variation of salinity tolerance capacity.…”
