Inflammatory responses associated with hyposaline stress in gill epithelial cells of the spotted scat Scatophagus argus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2021
The molecular processes of immune responses in mucosal tissues such as fish gills under environmental stress are poorly understood. In the present study, pro-inflammatory response under hyposaline stress and its regulation by cortisol/corticosteroid receptors (CRs) in gill epithelial cells of the spotted scat Scatophagus argus were analyzed.

Transcriptomic analysis of pituitary in female and male spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) after 17β-estradiol injection

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2022
Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is a popular species of marine fish cultured in China. It shows normal sexual growth dimorphism. Female spotted scat grows quicker and bigger than males. Growth and reproduction are the most important traits in aquaculture. In vertebrates, the pituitary gland occupies an important position in the growth and reproduction

Branchial transcriptional responses of spotted scat, Scatophagus argus, to acute hypo-osmotic stress

Agri Gene, 2016
Abstract The spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is a euryhaline marine fish with the capability to withstand different salinity levels and can tolerate abrupt transfer from salt water (SW) to fresh water (FW) or vice versa. Differentially expressed genes were identified by constructing suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA libraries to ...

Sequence identification and expression characterization of leptin in the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Scatophagus argus is an important marine culture fish in South and South-East Asia, including Southeast coastal areas of China. Artificial propagation technology for S. argus is not optimum; thus further studies on its reproduction biology are required.

Identification, functional characterization, and estrogen regulation on gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2020
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a key neuropeptide of the reproductive system. However, little is known about the role of GnRH in the spotted scat (Scatophagus argus). Here, three GnRH subtypes (cGnRH-II, sGnRH, and sbGnRH) were identified in the spotted scat.

Comparative renal gene expression in response to abrupt hypoosmotic shock in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2015
Scatophagus argus, a euryhaline fish, is notable for its ability to tolerate a wide range of environmental salinities and especially for its tolerance to a rapid, marked reduction in salinity. Therefore, S. argus is a good model for studying the molecular mechanisms mediating abrupt hyperosmoregulation.

Metallothionein biosynthesis as a detoxification mechanism in mercury exposure in fish, spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2010
It is of crucial importance to study on the biomarkers types to assess the specification of the pollutants and health status of marine ecosystems in environmental evaluation projects. In this respect, total metallothionein biosynthesis and mercury bioaccumulation in the liver and gills under acute mercury exposure were investigated in fish, Scat ...

Characterization and gonadal expression of FOXL2 relative to Cyp19a genes in spotted scat Scatophagus argus

Gene, 2015
In the present study, we cloned the full-length cDNAs of FOXL2, Cyp19a1a and Cyp19a1b and analyzed their expression patterns during gonadal development in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus. All three genes were expressed in ovaries and testes but showed sexual dimorphism.

Molecular cloning, tissue distribution, and pharmacological characterization of melanocortin-4 receptor in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2016
Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays an important role in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure in mammals. The functions of the MC4R in fish have not been investigated extensively. We herein reported on the cloning, tissue distribution, and pharmacological characterization of spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) MC4R (SAMC4R).

Male-specific Dmrt1 is a candidate sex determination gene in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture, 2018
Abstract The Scatophagus argus is a cultured marine teleost fish in which females grow faster and larger than males, therefore cloning the master sex-determination (SD) gene will be helpful for its sex control in aquaculture. A well-conserved Dmrt1 (doublesex- and mab-3-related transcription factor-1) gene, encoding zinc finger-like DNA binding motif
