The increasing capacity of transcriptomic analysis by high throughput sequencing has highlighted the presence of a large proportion of transcripts that do not encode proteins. In particular, long non-coding RNAs (IncRNAs) are sequences with low coding potential and conservation among species. Moreover, cumulative evidence has revealed important roles in post-transcriptional gene modulation in several taxa. In fish, the role of lncRNAs has been scarcely studied and even less so during the immune response against sea lice. In the present study we mined for lncRNAs in Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar) and Coho salmon (Oncorhynkus kisutch), which are affected by the sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi, evaluating the degree of sequence conservation between these two fish species and their putative roles during the infection process. Herein, Atlantic and Coho salmon were infected with 35 lice/fish and evaluated after 7 and 14 days post-infestation (dpi). For RNA sequencing, samples from skin and head kidney were collected. A total of 5658/4140 and 3678/2123 lncRNAs were identified in uninfected/infected Atlantic and Coho salmon transcriptomes, respectively. Species-specific transcription patterns were observed in exclusive lncRNAs according to the tissue analyzed. Furthermore, neighbor gene GO enrichment analysis of the top 100 highly regulated lncRNAs in Atlantic salmon showed that lncRNAs were localized near genes related to the immune response. On the other hand, in Coho salmon the highly regulated lncRNAs were localized near genes involved in tissue repair processes. This study revealed high regulation of lncRNAs closely localized to immune and tissue repair-related genes in Atlantic and Coho salmon, respectively, suggesting putative roles for IncRNAs in salmon against sea lice infestation.
