Transcriptome analysis of Takifugu obscurus liver in response to acute retene exposure
Retene (1-methyl-7-isopropyl-phenanthrene, RET) is an alkyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with environmental risk to aquatic animals. Takifugu obscurus is a migratory fish species with high economic and ecological value. To assess the toxic effects of RET on molecular metabolism, juvenile T. obscurus in this study were acutely exposed to 44.30 µg/L of RET for four days. The transcriptome profiles of livers were compared between RET treatment group and the control, and the results revealed that 1,897 genes were significantly differentially expressed (DEGs) after exposure to RET, which enriched 17 KEGG pathways. Among these, glycerolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, insulin signaling pathway, and FOXO signaling pathways were significantly activated. Further exploration indicated that RET exposure disrupted glucose metabolism, stimulated insulin metabolism, and activated cell proliferation genes. Overall, these findings help explain the molecular mechanisms underlying RET toxicity, and may offer evidence to support T. obscurus protection.
