Our study revealed that both asymptomatic and symptomatic rainbow trout showed activated immunomodulatory genes in the cytokine network, with downregulated glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors. Asymptomatic trout specifically activated complement- and TNF-associated immune defenses in response to Vibrio anguillarum infection. On the other hand, the complement and coagulation cascades, as well as steroid hormone homeostasis in symptomatic trout, were disturbed by V. anguillarum infection. The findings provide new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of stress and immune responses in rainbow trout.
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most common aquaculture fish species worldwide. Vibriosis disease outbreaks cause significant setbacks to aquaculture. The stress and immune responses are bidirectionally modulated in response to the health challenges. Therefore, an investigation into the regulatory mechanisms of the stress and immune responses in trout is invaluable for identifying potential vibriosis treatments. We investigated the transcriptional profiles of genes associated with stress and trout immune functions after Vibrio anguillarum infection. We compared the control trout (CT, 0.9% saline injection), asymptomatic trout (AT, surviving trout with minor or no symptoms after bacteria injection), and symptomatic trout (ST, moribund trout with severe symptoms after bacteria injection). Our results showed activated immunomodulatory genes in the cytokine network and downregulated glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors in both AT and ST, indicating activation of the proinflammatory cytokine cascade as a common response in AT and ST. Moreover, the AT specifically activated the complement- and TNF-associated immune defenses in response to V. anguillarum infection. However, the complement and coagulation cascades, as well as steroid hormone homeostasis in ST, were disturbed by V. anguillarum. Our studies provide new insights toward understanding regulatory mechanisms in stress and immune functions in response to diseases.
