Adaptive divergence and underlying mechanisms in response to salinity gradients between two Crassostrea oysters revealed by phenotypic and transcriptomic analyses

Ziyan Zhang et al.

Summary: Comparing the responses of closely related oyster species to different salinity conditions, this study revealed their evolutionary divergence in phenotypes and gene expression, and the contributions of species effect, environment effect, and their interaction to the adaptive divergence. Results showed that the two oyster species had different adaptability under high- and low-salinity conditions, and the transcriptional expression differences were primarily caused by the species effect. Furthermore, salinity-responsive pathways and solute carriers were found to play important roles in the adaptation of oysters.

Identification of free amino acids (FAA) that are important as major intracellular osmolytes in the estuarine Hong Kong oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis

Xinyu Song et al.

Summary: Crassostrea hongkongensis, a commercially valuable bivalve in the South China Sea, is threatened by increased salinity during the dry season. This study analyzed 25 free amino acids (FAA) in different tissues of C. hongkongensis when subjected to salinity changes. The study found that taurine, alanine, and glycine were the dominant FAA and played a significant role in salinity acclimation. The findings provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms of oyster salinity adaptation.

Ambient salinity affects silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) induced toxicity in the marine bivalve, the rock oyster, Saccostrea cucullata

Saeed Sadri et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interactive impacts of salinity changes and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exposure on rock oysters in the Oman sea. The results showed that exposure to 20-30 μg/l AgNPs at moderate salinity significantly increased hemocyte counts, phagocytosis, antioxidant enzyme activities, and immune-related gene expressions, while exposure to 10-30 μg/l AgNPs at low salinity led to significant decreases in these parameters.

Triploid Pacific oysters exhibit stress response dysregulation and elevated mortality following heatwaves

Matthew N. George et al.

Summary: This study compares the genomic and physiological responses of diploid and triploid Pacific oysters to the conditions of an atmospheric heatwave in the summer of 2021. The results show that triploid oysters are more sensitive to climate stress and more susceptible to multiple environmental stressors compared to diploid oysters. This has important implications for the climate resilience of marine organisms and the reproductive control in marine aquaculture.

Summary: The expansion of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) gene family plays important roles in regulating apoptosis and immunity in oysters. The study reveals unprecedented diversity of IAPs in oysters, with novel protein domains and architectures. This expansion facilitates complex and nuanced regulation of apoptosis and other immune responses in oysters.

Effects of low salinity on hemolymph osmolality and transcriptome of the Iwagaki oyster, Crassostrea nippona

Jianwen Gong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological and immunological response of Crassostrea nippona to low salinity. The results showed that low salinity led to hyperosmolality in the hemolymph and differential gene expression in the gill transcriptome. The study provides insights into the immune mechanism of C. nippona under low salinity stress.

Regulation of the Cell Cycle, Apoptosis, and Proline Accumulation Plays an Important Role in the Stress Response of the Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica

Cui Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the transcriptomic changes in the eastern oyster in response to air exposure and cold stress. The results suggest that the regulation of cell division, apoptosis, proline accumulation, fatty acid metabolism, neurohormonal signaling, and epigenetic modifications plays a crucial role in the stress response of the eastern oyster and possibly other marine molluscs.

Solute carriers as potential oncodrivers or suppressors: their key functions in malignant tumor formation

Khalid Rashid et al.

Summary: Solute carrier (SLC) transporters play diverse roles in tumor modulation, not only through influx/efflux mechanisms but also by activating signaling network cascades that drive metastatic tumor formation. However, further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these proteins in cancer pathogenesis.

Md Sadequr Rahman et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of short-term heat stress on the prooxidant-antioxidant balance and redox status in American oysters. The results showed that high temperatures induced oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis in oysters, leading to an inhibition of the antioxidant defense system.

Genome of the estuarine oyster provides insights into climate impact and adaptive plasticity

Ao Li et al.

Summary: Understanding the roles of genetic divergence and phenotypic plasticity in adaptation is crucial in evolutionary biology. Analysis of estuarine oysters revealed low genomic diversity and population structures shaped by historical factors, with genes responding to temperature and salinity stress showing strong selection signals. Gene expansion and selection enhance phenotypic plasticity critical for adapting to rapidly changing environments.

Transgenerational plasticity and the capacity to adapt to low salinity in the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica

Joanna S. Griffiths et al.

Summary: The salinity conditions in oyster breeding grounds in the Gulf of Mexico are expected to change drastically due to climate change and human-induced alterations in local hydrology. This study investigated the adaptive capacity of eastern oysters to low salinity through genetic variation and transgenerational plasticity. The results suggest that genetic variation, with a heritability estimated at 0.68 +/- 0.25, plays a key role in evolving traits for future salinity changes.

Jie Lu et al.

Summary: Gender differences in immune responses to external stimuli have been studied in many invertebrates. The study found that male oysters exhibit a more powerful immune response post-spawning, with notable alterations in specific immune parameters. Consideration of gender and subpopulation differences in bivalve immune parameters is important for future research on the impact of pathogens or environmental factors.

Time-course changes in the regulation of ions and amino acids in the hard clam Meretrix lusoria upon lower salinity challenge

Chia-Hao Lin et al.

Summary: This study investigated ion and amino acid regulation in the gill and mantle of the hard clam Meretrix lusoria. Results showed significant reductions in osmolality, Na+, and Cl- concentrations in the hemolymph of clams transferred to a lower salinity environment. Specific activities of NKA were unaffected, but there was a decline in FAA contents, with taurine identified as the dominant FAA. Additionally, mRNA expression and protein abundance of TAUT were altered in response to reduced taurine content in the gill and mantle of hard clams during acclimation.
