ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Epilithonimonas sp. FP211-J200, isolated from rainbow trout head kidney cells. The size of the genome is 4,110,772 bp, with a G+C content of 37.1%. The Epilithonimonas sp. FP211-J200 genome has genes related to tetracycline and β-lactam resistance. This is the first reported Epilithonimonas species genome isolated from a fish host.

Head Kidney Cells

The teleost head kidney is a highly relevant immune organ, and myeloid cells play a major role in this organ’s innate and adaptive immune responses. Because of their complexity, the early phases of the innate immune reaction of fish against bacteria are still poorly understood. In this study, naïve rainbow trout were stimulated with inactivated A. salmonicida and sampled at 12 h, 24 h and 7 d poststimulation. Cells from the head kidney were magnetically sorted with a monoclonal antibody mAB21 to obtain one (MAb21-positive) fraction enriched with myeloid cells and one (MAb21-negative) fraction enriched with lymphocytes and thrombocytes. The gene expression pattern of the resulting cell subpopulations was analysed using a panel of 43 immune-related genes. The results show an overall downregulation of the complement pathway and cytokine production at the considered time points. Some of the selected genes may be considered as parameters for diagnosing bacterial furunculosis of rainbow trout.

The lymphocyte proliferation assay is a valuable method used for the evaluation of the fish immune system. However, there are many variations and optimal results are not always obtained. Unification is necessary to ensure the comparability between different studies. The aim of this study was to optimise the lymphocyte proliferation assay in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). This goal included the determination of the optimal incubation length, serum type, incubation temperature, type of mitogen and its concentration, and anticoagulant. The peripheral blood and head kidney lymphocytes were isolated by density gradient centrifugation. Subsequently, the cells were incubated for 3–8 days with different mitogens (pokeweed mitogen 5, 10 and 50 µg/ml, concanavalin A 1, 10 and 20 µg/ml, phytohaemagglutinin 25, 50 and 100 µg/ml, lipopolysaccharide 1, 50 and 100 µg/ml). The use of the different serum types (foetal bovine serum, trout serum), incubation temperatures (10–20 °C) and anticoagulants (heparin, EDTA) was compared. Labelled thymidine was used to evaluate the assay. The best results were obtained after seven days of incubation at 15 °C with foetal bovine serum (FBS). The head kidney lymphocytes showed the highest proliferative response with 50 µg/ml phytohaemagglutinin. With the peripheral blood lymphocytes (heparin and EDTA), the best results were obtained with 50 µg/ml pokeweed mitogen. The highest proliferation levels were detected with heparinised blood. In conclusion, optimisation of this assay contributes to the improved assessment of the rainbow trout immune function.

The teleost fish are thought to lack the mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone but possess mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) homologs. Here we describe the characterization of two rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) MRs, called rtMRa and rtMRb. The open reading frame of rtMRa cDNA encoded a protein of 1041 amino acids. The rtMRb predicted protein sequence is similar, differing in only 10 amino acids in the nonconserved A/B domain and lacking a three-amino acid insertion between the two zinc fingers of the C domain. Expression of rtMR mRNA (sum of both forms), measured in juvenile trout by real-time RT-PCR, shows that the transcripts are ubiquitous. Expression was significantly higher in brain than the other tissues studied (eye, trunk kidney, head kidney, gut, gills, liver, spleen, ovary, heart, white muscle, skin). Hormonal stimulation of receptor transactivation activity was studied in COS-7 cells transiently cotransfected with receptor cDNA and a mouse mammary tumor virus-luciferase reporter. The mineralocorticoids 11-deoxycorticosterone and aldosterone were more potent enhancers of rtMRa transcriptional activity (EC50 = 1.6 ± 0.5 × 10−10 and 1.1 ± 0.4 × 10−10m, respectively) than the glucocorticoids cortisol and 11-deoxycortisol (EC50 = 1.1 ± 0.3 × 10−9 and 3.7 ± 1.9 × 10−9m, respectively). A similar response was observed in transactivation assays with rtMRb. These results are discussed in the view of reported circulating levels of corticosteroids in trout.
