Multi-omics integration uncovers adaptive responses of stomach and pyloric ceca to artificial feed in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi).

The mandarin fish, as an obligate piscivore, is highly dependent on live bait, which restricts its intensive aquaculture. Although domestication has enabled it to partially accept formulated diets, the tissue-specific molecular adaptation mechanisms of its digestive tract to artificial feed remain unclear. In this study, we conducted an integrated analysis of mandarin fish fed with live bait or artificial diet for three weeks, combining growth performance evaluation, gastric histology, and paired transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the stomach and pyloric ceca. AD feeding significantly improved growth performance, while histological examination revealed marked hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa and disorganized fold structures. Transcriptomic analysis identified 5065 and 3381 differentially expressed genes in the stomach and pyloric ceca, respectively. In the stomach, the artificial diet induced a glutathione-dependent antioxidant response, accompanied by glycolytic reprogramming and coordinated upregulation of genes in the extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction signaling pathway, including those encoding collagen, laminin, and integrin. In the pyloric ceca, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation were broadly suppressed, whereas glycosaminoglycan degradation and lysosomal pathways were activated. Metabolomic analysis showed that gastric metabolites were enriched in vascular and inflammatory mediator pathways, while metabolites in the pyloric ceca were enriched in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling, sphingolipid signaling, and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathways. Following artificial diet feeding, integrated multi-omics analysis of the stomach revealed significant enrichment of pathways such as phospholipase D signaling, sphingolipid signaling, and arachidonic acid metabolism, accompanied by the accumulation of key metabolites including sphingosine-1-phosphate, 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and cellobiose. Integrated analysis of the pyloric ceca identified significantly altered pathways, including sphingolipid metabolism, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, and glutathione metabolism, along with elevated levels of sphingosine-1-phosphate, sphingosine galactoside, and 9-hydroxy-12-oxo-10,15-octadecadienoic acid, as well as decreased glutathionylspermidine. These findings systematically unveil the tissue-specific molecular adaptation characteristics of the mandarin fish digestive tract in response to artificial feed, providing an important basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of dietary adaptation in carnivorous fish and for optimizing artificial feed formulations.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed the action mechanism of nesfatin-1 gene on glucolipid metabolism during early development stage of largemouth bass.

Nesfatin-1 has biological roles including the suppression of food intake and the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the information available regarding nesfatin-1 in the glycolipid metabolism in the early development stage of fish is still limited. In order to investigate the role of the nesfatin-1 gene in the early development stage of the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), the nesfatin-1 gene was knocked down using siRNA interference technology. Then, we evaluated its mRNA expression levels, transcriptomes and metabolomes. The mRNA expression levels of nesfatin-1 gene were appreciably decreased at 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after injection of nesfatin-1 siRNA in the early development stage. The omics results revealed that knockdown of the nesfatin-1 gene induced 1833 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 2370 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs). Bioinformatic analysis enriched the most affected molecular pathways (sphingolipid metabolism, fatty acid elongation, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids) and metabolic pathways (biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, sphingolipid metabolism and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism) in early development stage of largemouth bass. In amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, increased expression levels of genes such as chic, chs1, and gck genes, alongside decreased expression levels of the chia.1 gene, resulted in significantly elevated concentrations of N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine, β-d-fructose 6-phosphate, β-d-Fructose, D-mannose 6-phosphate, d-glucose, d-glucose 1-phosphate, UDP-glucose, and UDP-glucuronate, whilst the concentration of UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine was markedly reduced. Therefore, the nesfatin-1 gene may influence the early development stage of largemouth bass by affecting signaling pathways associated with glycolipid metabolism. Our findings further expand the understanding of molecular mechanisms of the nesfatin-1 gene, and provide further theoretical support for the initial breeding and feed adaptation of largemouth bass.

Cefiderocol susceptibility rates in carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in a comparative, multicenter surveillance study in China.

BACKGROUND: Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin with potent, broad spectrum of activity against carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative bacteria. The objective of this surveillance study was to assess cefiderocol susceptibility in molecularly characterized CR Gram-negative pathogens collected from hospitalized patients across China. METHODS: Susceptibility testing was performed by the broth microdilution method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines, using pre-prepared frozen 96-well microtiter Thermo Fisher plates. Susceptibilities to cefiderocol and most comparators were determined by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute breakpoints, to tigecycline by US Food and Drug Administration breakpoints, and to colistin by European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing criteria. Carbapenemases were identified by whole-genome sequencing and polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Of 149 CR Klebsiella pneumoniae, 95.3% were susceptible to cefiderocol (OXA-48-positive 100% [n = 15]; IMP-positive 100% [n = 9]; KPC-positive 95.4% [n = 108]; NDM-positive 88.2% [n = 17]) and against 103 NDM-positive CR Escherichia coli, cefiderocol susceptibility was 45.6%. Among comparator antibiotics, ceftazidime-avibactam was only active against K. pneumoniae carbapenemase-positive and OXA-48-positive K. pneumoniae isolates. Susceptibilities to tigecycline and colistin were between 22.2% and 97.1% and between 88.2% and 100% across CR Enterobacterales with different carbapenemases, respectively. High cefiderocol susceptibility rates were found for CR Pseudomonas aeruginosa (98.4%), CR Acinetobacter baumannii (99.6%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (99.6%). Among comparator antibiotics, only colistin showed high activity against CR P. aeruginosa (99.2%) and CR A. baumannii (99.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Cefiderocol susceptibility rates were ≥88% against a collection of carbapenemase-positive CR Gram-negative isolates, except for lower susceptibility in NDM-positive CR E. coli isolates. Continuous monitoring of cefiderocol susceptibility is warranted.
