Extracellular vesicles play a regulatory role in intracellular and intercellular transmission through various biological information molecules. piRNAs, a type of small regulatory RNAs in these vesicles, were isolated from skin mucus of Cynoglossus semilaevis and screened for potential biomarkers related to bacterial infections. Different piRNA profiles were compared between infected and healthy fish, with specific piRNAs identified as potential markers for disease detection and resistance breeding.
Extracellular vesicles play a regulatory role in intracellular and intercellular transmission through a variety of biological information molecules, including mRNA, small RNAs and proteins. piRNAs are one kind of regulatory small RNAs in the vesicles at the post transcriptional level. Hereby, we isolated the extracellular vesicles from skin mucus and screened the piRNA profiles of these vesicles, aiming at developing biomarkers related to bacterial infections in Cynoglossus semilaevis. The different profilings of piRNAs in mucous extracellular vesicles of C. semilaevis were compared through small RNA sequencing, between fish infected with Vibrio harveyi and healthy ones. The number of clean reads on the alignment of exosome sick (ES) group was 105, 345 and that of exosome control (EC) group was 455, 144. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that most of the target genes were involved in cellular process, response to stimulus, biological regulation, immune system process and signal transduction, signal molecular and interaction, transport and catabolism. The 45 final candidate piRNAs related to immunity or infectious diseases included 20 piRNAs with high expression in the ES group and 25 piRNAs with a low expression in the ES group. After verification by qRT-PCR, there was significant difference of five piRNAs expression level between infected fish and healthy fish, in line with the sequencing. The expression level of piR-mmu-16401212, piR-mmu-26829319 and piR-gga-244092 in infected fish were significantly lower than that of control group, while piR-gga-71717 and piR-gga-99034 were higher, which implying that these piRNAs in mucous extracellular vesicles can be used to identify diseased fish from normal ones. This work supplied a novel class of biomarker for infection diagnosis in fish, and it will be benefit for screening disease resistant breeding of C. semilaevis.
