Molecular and functional characterization of sex hormone binding globulin in zebrafish.

SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) transports androgens and estrogens in the blood of vertebrates including fish. Orthologs of SHBG in fish are poorly defined, and we have now obtained a zebrafish SHBG cDNA and characterized the zebrafish SHBG gene and protein through molecular biological, biochemical, and informatics approaches. Amino-terminal analysis of zebrafish SHBG indicated that its deduced precursor sequence includes a 25-residue secretion polypeptide and exhibits 22-27% homology with mammalian SHBG sequences and 41% with a deduced fugufish SHBG sequence. The 356-residue mature zebrafish SHBG (39,243 Da) sequence comprises a tandem repeat of laminin G-like domains typical of SHBG sequences; contains three N-glycosylation sites; and exists as a 105,000 +/- 8700 Da homodimer. Zebrafish SHBG exhibits a high affinity and specificity for sex steroids. An RT-PCR indicated that SHBG mRNA first appears in zebrafish larva, and SHBG mRNA was localized within the liver and gut at this stage of development by whole-mount in situ hybridization. In adult fish, SHBG mRNA was found in liver, testis, and gut. In the liver, immunoreactive SHBG was present in hepatocytes and concentrated in intrahepatic bile duct cells, whereas in the testis it was confined to cells surrounding the seminiferous tubule cysts. In the intestine, immunoreactive SHBG was present in the stroma and epithelial cells of the villous projections and the surrounding muscle. The production and presence of SHBG in the gut of developing and adult zebrafish suggests a novel role for this protein in regulating sex steroid action at this site.

Zebrafish hox genes: genomic organization and modified colinear expression patterns in the trunk.

The Hox genes are implicated in conferring regional identity to the anteroposterior axis of the developing embryo. We have characterized the organization and expression of hox genes in the teleost zebrafish (Danio rerio), and compared our findings with those made for the tetrapod vertebrates. We have isolated 32 zebrafish hox genes, primarily via 3'RACE-PCR, and analyzed their linkage relationships using somatic cell hybrids. We find that in comparison to the tetrapods, zebrafish has several additional hox genes, both within and beyond the expected 4 hox clusters (A-D). For example, we have isolated a member of hox paralogue group 8 lying on the hoxa cluster, and a member of hox paralogue group 10 lying on the b cluster, no equivalent genes have been reported for mouse or human. Beyond the 4 clusters (A-D) we have isolated a further 3 hox genes (the hoxx and y genes), which according to their sequence homologies lie in paralogue groups 4, 6, and 9. The hoxx4 and hoxx9 genes occur on the same set of hybrid chromosomes, hinting at the possibility of an additional hox cluster for the zebrafish. Similar to their tetrapod counterparts, zebrafish hox genes (including those with no direct tetrapod equivalent) demonstrate colinear expression along the anteroposterior (AP) axis of the embryo. However, in comparison to the tetrapods, anterior hox expression limits are compacted over a short AP region; some members of adjacent paralogue groups have equivalent limits. It has been proposed that during vertebrate evolution, the anterior limits of Hox gene expression have become dispersed along the AP axis allowing the genes to take on novel patterning roles and thus leading to increased axial complexity. In the teleost zebrafish, axial organization is relatively simple in comparison to that of the tetrapod vertebrates; this may be reflected by the less dispersed expression domains of the zebrafish hox genes.

Laser-induced gene expression in specific cells of transgenic zebrafish.

Over the past few years, a number of studies have described the generation of transgenic lines of zebrafish in which expression of reporters was driven by a variety of promoters. These lines opened up the real possibility that transgenics could be used to complement the genetic analysis of zebrafish development. Transgenic lines in which the expression of genes can be regulated both in space and time would be especially useful. Therefore, we have cloned the zebrafish promoter for the inducible hsp70 gene and made stable transgenic lines of zebrafish that express the reporter green fluorescent protein gene under the control of a hsp70 promoter. At normal temperatures, green fluorescent protein is not detectable in transgenic embryos with the exception of the lens, but is robustly expressed throughout the embryo following an increase in ambient temperature. Furthermore, we have taken advantage of the accessibility and optical clarity of the embryos to express green fluorescent protein in individual cells by focussing a sublethal laser microbeam onto them. The targeted cells appear to develop normally: cells migrate normally, neurons project axons that follow normal pathways, and progenitor cells divide and give rise to normal progeny cells. By generating other transgenic lines in which the hsp70 promoter regulates genes of interest, it should be possible to examine the in vivo activity of the gene products by laser-inducing specific cells to express them in zebrafish embryos. As a first test, we laser-induced single muscle cells to make zebrafish Sema3A1, a semaphorin that is repulsive for specific growth cones, in a hsp70-sema3A1 transgenic line of zebrafish and found that extension by the motor axons was retarded by the induced muscle.

Analysis of hematopoietic development in the zebrafish.

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a powerful vertebrate genetic and developmental model that is particularly amenable to the study of hematopoiesis. The zebrafish embryo develops externally and its optical clarity allows the number and morphology of circulating blood cells to be visualized using a dissecting microscope. Both the morphology of the blood lineages and the expression of critical blood genes are highly conserved between zebrafish and mammals. The high fecundity and short generation time of zebrafish facilitate genetic analysis, and a number of large-scale mutagenesis screens have identified mutations in genes affecting blood development. The discovery of novel hematopoietic genes, as well as the cloning of zebrafish homologs of known hematopoietic genes, necessitates the use of efficacious and reliable methods for complete gene characterization. In this chapter, we illustrate frequently used techniques that are essential for evaluating hematopoiesis in the zebrafish, including whole-mount in situ hybridization, the detection of erythrocytes by o-dianisidine staining, and a description of the microinjection procedure, which has various applications, including overexpression of messenger ribonucleic acid, gene "knockdown" by antisense technology, and the creation of transgenic zebrafish. Also included is an explanation of the use of flow cytometry to separate hematopoietic lineages from the adult kidney and to isolate relatively pure populations of cell types from transgenic embryos based on the expression of fluorescent markers.

Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is conserved and regulated by metabolic state in the zebrafish, Danio rerio.

Agouti-related protein (AGRP) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) genes encode secreted hypothalamic factors regulated by metabolic state in mammals and are involved in energy homeostasis. The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is a model system for forward genetics in vertebrates: POMC and AGRP in this organism have not been well characterized. Toward this end, AGRP and POMC were cloned from zebrafish. Zebrafish AGRP cDNA encodes a 127-amino-acid protein 36% and 40% identical to human and mouse AGRP, respectively. Zebrafish POMC cDNA encodes a 222-amino-acid preprohormone. Sequence identity to the mammalian ortholog is about 50%. Zebrafish AGRP and POMC transcripts were detected at 24 h post-fertilization (hpf) by RTPCR, and in situ hybridization demonstrated zebrafish AGRP mRNA exclusively in hypothalamus and POMC mRNA in hypothalamus and pituitary. Fasting did not alter POMC transcript levels, while AGRP transcripts were significantly upregulated. The ratio of AGRP/POMC transcripts in adult brain was increased up to threefold by fasting. These results demonstrate that the melanocortin system is regulated by metabolic state in zebrafish, and this finding thus provides a vertebrate system for the genetic analysis of the role of the melanocortin system in energy homeostasis.

The orexin/hypocretin system in zebrafish is connected to the aminergic and cholinergic systems.

The orexin/hypocretin (ORX) system is involved in physiological processes such as feeding, energy metabolism, and the control of sleep and wakefulness. The ORX system may drive the aminergic and cholinergic activities that control sleep and wakefulness states because of the ORX fiber projections to the aminergic and cholinergic cell clusters. The biological mechanisms and relevance of the interactions between these neurotransmitter systems are poorly understood. We studied these systems in zebrafish, a model organism in which it is possible to simultaneously study these systems and their interactions. We cloned a zebrafish prepro-ORX gene that encodes for the two functional neuropeptides orexin-A (ORX-A) and orexin-B (ORX-B). The prepro-ORX gene of the zebrafish consisted of one exon in contrast to mammals. The sequence of the ORX-A peptide of the zebrafish was less conserved than the ORX-B peptide compared with other vertebrates. By using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, we found that the organization of the ORX system of zebrafish was similar to the ORX system in mammals, including a hypothalamic cell cluster and widespread fiber projections. The ORX system of the zebrafish showed a unique characteristic with an additional putatively ORX-containing cell group. The ORX system innervated several aminergic nuclei, raphe, locus ceruleus, the mesopontine-like area, dopaminergic clusters, and histaminergic neurons. A reciprocal relationship was found between the ORX system and several aminergic systems. Our results suggest that the architecture of these neurotransmitter systems is conserved in vertebrates and that these neurotransmitter systems in zebrafish may be involved in regulation of states of wakefulness and energy homeostasis by similar mechanisms as those in mammals.

Androgen metabolism via 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 in mammalian and non-mammalian vertebrates: comparison of the human and the zebrafish enzyme.

Formation and inactivation of testosterone is performed by various members of the 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD) family. The main player in testosterone formation is considered to be 17beta-HSD type 3, which catalyzes the reduction of androstenedione to testosterone with high efficiency and is almost exclusively expressed in testis. So far, only the mammalian homologs have been characterized but nothing is known about the role of 17beta-HSD type 3 in other vertebrates. In this study, we describe the identification and characterization of the zebrafish homolog. We found zebrafish 17beta-HSD type 3 to be expressed in embryogenesis from sphere to 84 h post-fertilization. Expression was also detected in various tissues of both male and female adults, but displayed sexual dimorphism. Interestingly, expression was not highest in male testis but in male liver. In female adults, strongest expression was observed in ovaries. At the subcellular level, both human and zebrafish 17beta-HSD type 3 localize to the endoplasmic reticulum. The zebrafish enzyme in vitro effectively catalyzed the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone by use of NADPH as cofactor. Among further tested androgens epiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone were accepted as substrates and reduced at C-17 by the human and the zebrafish enzyme. Androsterone and androstanedione though, were only substrates of human 17beta-HSD type 3, not the zebrafish enzyme. Furthermore, we found that both enzymes can reduce 11-ketoandrostenedione as well as 11beta-hydroxyandrostenedione at C-17 to the respective testosterone forms. Our results suggest that 17beta-HSD type 3 might play slightly different roles in zebrafish compared with human although testosterone itself is likely to have similar functions in both organisms.

Estrogenic and toxic effects of methoxychlor on zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Although zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been suggested as a good candidate for screening potential endocrine disruptors, little information is available on the effects of weak estrogens on this species. We investigated the sensitivity of different life stages of zebrafish toward toxic and estrogenic properties of methoxychlor (MXC). Short-term tests with adults resulted in a sex-specific 96-h lethal concentration for 50% (LC50) of the test animals of 36 microg/L for males and 129 microg/L for females. To determine the estrogenic capacity of MXC, adult zebrafish were exposed to 0, 0.5, 5, and 50 microg MXC/L for 14 d. Induction of vitellogenin ([VTG] measured with protein electrophoresis and Western blot) in males was detected at 5 and 50 microg MXC/L. Females, however, did not exhibit higher blood VTG concentrations at the tested MXC concentrations. In a second series of experiments, juvenile zebrafish were exposed to 0, 0.05, 0.5, and 5 microg MXC/L for 33 d. Survival, length, weight, and condition of larvae were examined as indicators of toxic stress and the VTG content in whole body homogenates of juveniles was measured to determine xenoestrogenic effects. No effects of the tested concentrations of MXC were observed. Finally, the effect of MXC on zebrafish eggs, exposed to 0, 1, 10, and 32 microg MXC/L, was examined. Hatching and survival of hatched zebrafish were affected at 10 and 32 microg MXC/L. This study demonstrated that adult male zebrafish are sensitive toward the estrogenic effects of MXC. However, the use of VTG induction to detect effects of (xeno)estrogens in early life stages has to be further investigated, as low concentrations of VTG were detectable in exposed as well as unexposed juvenile fish.

Zebrafish as a Model Organism to Study Neurotoxicity: A Potential Tool for Neuroprotective Drug Discovery.

INTRODUCTION: Danio rerio, the zebrafish, serves as an excellent model in neuroprotective drug discovery due to its conserved nervous system organization, neurotransmitter pathways, antioxidant defenses, and genomic similarity to mammals. METHODS: A systematic literature search following PRISMA 2020 guidelines was conducted across Pub- Med, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies published between 2020 and 2025 were prioritized, with earlier key papers included for context. The data on larval, adult, and genetically modified zebrafish models were analyzed for neurotoxic effects, focusing on study design, toxicants, and neurobehavioral or molecular outcomes. RESULTS: Neurotoxicants such as chlorpyrifos, bisphenol, triphenyl phosphate, aluminum, ammonium acetate, arsenic, zinc, acrylamide, methylmercury, and tris (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate were shown to cross the zebrafish blood-brain barrier. These exposures caused significant behavioral alterations, neurotransmitter imbalances, oxidative stress, and gene or protein expression changes related to brain function. Analysis of the transgenic zebrafish revealed notable alterations in neuronal development and axonal morphology upon exposure to various neurotoxic chemicals. DISCUSSION: Zebrafish display neurotoxic responses with a close resemblance to mammals, supporting their translational value in neurotoxicity and drug discovery studies. However, limitations such as a less complex brain compared to mammals, quick neuronal regeneration, limited tissue access, and difficulties in drug absorption quantification warrant refinements in zebrafish models. CONCLUSION: Zebrafish offer a versatile, cost-effective, and genetically tractable system for neurotoxicity and neuroprotection research. This systematic review highlights their crucial role in neuroprotective drug discovery while emphasizing the need for improved methodological approaches to enhance translational reliability.

The zebrafish as a model for human disease.

Much of our current understanding of the function of genes modulating the normal process of embryonic development has come from mutant analysis. The availability of thousands of mutant lines in zebrafish that allows for identification of novel genes regulating various aspects of embryogenesis has been instrumental in establishing zebrafish as a robust and reliable genetic system. With the advances in genomic sequencing, the construction of several genetic maps, and cloning of hundreds of ESTs, positional cloning experiments in zebrafish have become more approachable. An increasing number of mutant genes have been cloned. Several zebrafish mutants are representative of known forms of human genetic diseases. The success of morpholino antisense technology in zebrafish potentially opens the door for modeling nearly any inherited developmental defect. This review highlights the strengths and limitations of using the zebrafish as an organism for elucidation of the genetic etiology of human disease. Additionally a survey of current and future zebrafish models of human disease is presented.

Sequence and spatial expression of zebrafish (Danio rerio) alphaA-crystallin.

PURPOSE: To determine the nucleotide sequence, amino acid sequence and tissue specificity of zebrafish alphaA-crystallin. METHODS: RACE, both 3' and 5', was used to clone the zebrafish alphaA-crystallin gene. The peptide sequence of the encoded protein was deduced and compared to cavefish, shark, amphibian, bird and human orthologues using the CLUSTAL W algorithm. alphaA-crystallin transcript was evaluated in brain, heart, lens, liver, skeletal muscle/skin, and spleen by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS: The 173 amino acid sequence of zebrafish alphaA-crystallin was determined to be 73% and 86% similar to its human and cavefish orthologues, respectively. We detected high expression of zebrafish alphaA-crystallin in the lens and very low expression in liver and spleen. CONCLUSIONS: Few amino acids identified as being functionally important to chaperone function differ between zebrafish and mammalian alphaA-crystallin. The expression of alphaA-crystallin is mainly confined to the lens in both taxa. These data suggest that zebrafish alphaA-crystallin plays a physiologically limited role outside of the zebrafish lens, similar to its mammalian orthologues.

The dystrophin associated protein complex in zebrafish.

Many cases of muscular dystrophy in humans are caused by mutations in members of the dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC). Zebrafish are small vertebrates whose bodies are composed predominantly of skeletal muscle, making them attractive models for studying mammalian muscle disorders. Potential orthologs to most of the human DAPC proteins have been found in zebrafish by database screening. Expression of the sarcoglycans, dystroglycan and dystrophin has been confirmed by western blotting. Immunohistochemical and biochemical techniques localize these proteins to the muscle cell membrane in adult zebrafish. Morpholino (MO) experiments designed to inhibit the translation of dystrophin mRNA produce juvenile zebrafish that are less active than zebrafish injected with control morpholinos. Western blot analysis of the dystrophin morpholino-injected zebrafish shows concurrent reduction of dystrophin and the sarcoglycans, suggesting that these proteins, like those in mammals, are part of a complex whose integrity is dependent on dystrophin expression. These results indicate that the zebrafish is an excellent animal model in which to approach the study of dystrophin and its associated proteins.

Development of cell cultures with competency for contributing to the zebrafish germ line.

The zebrafish is an established model for the genetic analysis of vertebrate development. Forward-genetic screens have generated thousands of mutations, and antisense-based methods have been used to transiently knockdown gene expression during embryogenesis. Although these methods have made the zebrafish a valuable system for the identification and functional characterization of developmentally important genes, one deficiency of the zebrafish model is the absence of methods to introduce targeted mutations to generate knockout lines of fish. Application of gene-targeting methods has been limited in nonmurine species due to the absence of germ-line competent embryonic stem (ES) cell lines. Recently, progress was made in addressing this problem by the derivation of zebrafish embryo cell lines that remain pluripotent and germ-line competent for multiple passages in culture. Zebrafish germ-line chimeras were generated using cultures derived from embryos at two different developmental stages, and targeted insertion of vector DNA by homologous recombination was demonstrated in both cultures. Several strategies are being used to optimize the production and identification of germ-line chimeras. The zebrafish embryo cell culture system should provide the basis of a gene-targeting approach that will complement other genetic strategies and improve the utility of the zebrafish model for studies of development and disease.

The zebrafish ultraviolet cone opsin reported previously is expressed in rods.

PURPOSE: To examine expression of the zebrafish ultraviolet cone opsin pigment in goldfish and zebrafish retinas. METHODS: Digoxigenin-labeled cRNA probes were prepared by run-off transcription from plasmids containing cDNAs for zebrafish ultraviolet opsin, goldfish ultraviolet cone opsin, and goldfish rod opsin. Probes were hybridized to cryosections of retina and visualized with immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The zebrafish ultraviolet opsin probe hybridized selectively to rod photoreceptors, but not to ultraviolet cones or any other cone type, in both zebrafish and goldfish retinas, and the pattern of expression was identical to that of the goldfish rod opsin probe. The goldfish ultraviolet opsin, in contrast, hybridized to ultraviolet cone photoreceptors in both goldfish and zebrafish. CONCLUSIONS: The cDNA previously identified by Robinson et al as zebrafish ultraviolet opsin is not a cone opsin but is likely to be a rod opsin.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) p53 tumor suppressor gene: cDNA sequence and expression during embryogenesis.

Three methods were used in succession to screen a whole adult zebrafish cDNA library for expressed p53-like genes. The sequences of the resultant clones describe an open reading frame 1122 nucleotides in length, with another 43 and 940 bases of 5' and 3' untranslated sequence, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the zebrafish p53 protein is 63% identical to that of trout and 48% identical to that of human p53. Two of the three zebrafish clones overlap to span the entire reported cDNA sequence and are identical in their deduced amino acid sequence over their coincident length. The third clone contains a conservative amino acid change, as well as an inserted amino acid subsequently found to be at the junction of exons 2 and 3, suggestive of alternative splicing in the p53 mRNA for this species. Northern analysis demonstrated a zebrafish p53-related transcript to be present and most abundant in zygotes and early-cleavage embryos less than 1 hour after fertilization, thereafter declining to barely detectable levels at 48 hours. A similar temporal expression was detected for the zebrafish L-myc, known to be present in maternally derived RNA, whereas zebrafish N-myc and the zebrafish homologue of the murine T gene were not detectable prior to the onset of zygotic transcription.

The zebrafish's swim to fame as an experimental model in biology.

The zebrafish has long been the favorite organism in many scientific disciplines. Although its attributes as a model were expounded for many years and thus were no secret, the zebrafish sat in the wings while other more popular vertebrates such as chick, amphibians, and mouse were examined at length. We cannot say there was a resurgence in popularity, but more an explosion of research utilizing the zebrafish beginning in the late 1970s when investigators at the University of Oregon began using it as their model in neuroscience. Prior to this reawakening, the zebrafish was one of the significant organisms in the study of teratology and toxicology, development, and, to some extent, behavior. Recently, however, the field of zebrafish genetics has gained immense popularity and success, in part owing to the fact that zebrafish are diploid and are amenable to genetic manipulations. Here we present an overview of the multidisciplinary research that has laid some of the foundation of our present understanding of the biochemical, cell biological, and molecular genetic events accompanying zebrafish development.

Isolation of the zebrafish homologues for the tie-1 and tie-2 endothelium-specific receptor tyrosine kinases.

Several characteristics of the zebrafish embryo make it an attractive model in which to study the development of the cardiovascular system. The utility of the zebrafish as a model of mammalian vascular development will depend on the conservation of molecular and morphogenetic mechanisms of vessel growth. Here, we report the cloning of the zebrafish homologues of the endothelium-specific receptor tyrosine kinases tie-1 and tie-2. The Z tie-2 clone represents the first report of a full-length zebrafish endothelium-specific gene. The zebrafish tie family members have significant structural homology with their murine and human counterparts. In addition, like the murine tie-1 and tie-2 genes, expression was found predominantly in endothelial cells. At 24-hr postfertilization (HPF), Z tie-1 was expressed in all observed populations of endothelial cells. Interestingly, Z tie-2 exhibited a similar, although slightly more restricted, expression pattern. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that mechanisms of vascular development are highly conserved across species and that zebrafish will continue to be a useful model for the investigation of vertebrate embryonic vascular development.

Understanding dioxin developmental toxicity using the zebrafish model.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have advantages over mammals as an animal model for investigating developmental toxicity. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin, TCDD), a persistent global contaminant, is the most comprehensively studied developmental toxicant in zebrafish. The hallmark responses of TCDD developmental toxicity manifested in zebrafish larvae include edema, anemia, hemorrhage, and ischemia associated with arrested growth and development. Heart and vasculature development and function are severely impaired, and jaw malformations occur secondary to inhibited chondrogenesis. The swim bladder fails to inflate, and the switch from embryonic to adult erythropoiesis is blocked. This profile of developmental toxicity responses, commonly referred to as "blue sac syndrome" because the edematous yolk sac appears blue, is observed in the larval form of all freshwater fish species exposed to TCDD at the embryonic stage of development. Components of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor/aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (AHR/ARNT) signaling pathway in zebrafish have been identified and functionally characterized. Their role in mediating TCDD toxicity has been determined using morpholinos to specifically knockdown the translation of zfAHR1, zfAHR2, zfARNT1, and zfARNT2 mRNAs, respectively, and a line of zfARNT2 null mutant zebrafish has provided further insight. These studies have shown that zfAHR2 and zfARNT1 mediate TCDD developmental toxicity. In addition, the growing use of molecular and genomic tools for research on zebrafish have led to advances in our understanding of the mechanism of TCDD developmental toxicity at the molecular level, including the recent finding that toxicity is not mediated by increased cytochrome P4501A (zfCYP1A) expression.
