This study investigated the expression of tcap-3 and its role as a regulator of metabolism in zebrafish across different life stages. The results showed that rtTCAP-3 enhanced metabolic activity in larvae and adults through mitochondrial uncoupling. Additionally, rtTCAP-3 protected larval fish from reduced metabolic activity induced by low temperatures and increased metabolic output in adult zebrafish subjected to accelerated swimming speeds.
Teneurin C-terminal associated peptides (TCAP), bioactive peptides located on the C-terminal end of teneurin proteins, have been shown to regulate stress axis functions due to the high conservation between TCAP and corticotropin releasing factor (CRF). Additionally, recent work demonstrated that TCAP can increase metabolism in rats via glucose metabolism. These metabolic actions are not well described in other organisms, including teleosts. Here we investigated the expression of a tcap isoform, tcap-3, and the potential role of TCAP-3 as a regulator of metabolism across zebrafish life-stages. Using pcr-based analyses, tcap-3 appears to be independently transcribed, in relation to teneurin-3, in muscle tissue of adult zebrafish. Resazurin, respirometry chambers, and mitochondrial metabolism analyses were used to study the metabolic effects of synthetic rainbow trout TCAP-3 (rtTCAP-3) in larval and adult zebrafish. Overall, metabolic activity was enhanced by 48 h of rtTCAP-3 treatment in larvae (bath immersion) and adults (intraperitoneal injections). This metabolic activity increase was due to mitochondrial uncoupling, as mitochondrial respiration increase by rtTCAP-3 was due to proton leak. Additionally, rtTCAP-3 protected larval fish from reduced metabolic activity induced by low temperatures. Subsequently, rtTCAP-3 increased metabolic output in adult zebrafish subjected to accelerated swimming speeds, demonstrating the potent role of rtTCAP-3 in zebrafish metabolism regulation during metabolic challenges. Collectively, these results demonstrate the conserved roles for rtTCAP-3 as a metabolic activator in zebrafish.
