  • the change of teleost skin commensal microbiota is associated with skin mucosal transcriptomic responses during Parasitic Infection by ichthyophthirius multifillis
    Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Xiaoting Zhang, Liguo Ding, Weiguang Kong, Yaxing Yin, Zhenyu Huang, Xuezhen Zhang
    Abstract:

    Teleost skin serves as the first line of defense against invading pathogens, and contain a skin-associated lymphoid tissue (SALT) that elicit gut-like immune responses against antigen stimulation. Moreover, exposed to the water environment and the pathogens therein, teleost skin is also known to be colonized by diverse microbial communities. However, little is known about the interactions between microbiota and the teleost skin mucosal immune system, especially dynamic changes about the interactions under pathogen Infection. We hypothesized that dramatic changes of microbial communities and strong mucosal immune response would be present in the skin of aquatic vertebrate under parasite Infection. To confirm this hypothesis, we construct an infected model with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), which was experimentally challenged by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich). H & E staining of trout skin indicates the successful invasion of Ich and shows the morphological changes caused by Ich Infection. Critically, increased mRNA expression levels of immune-related genes were detected in trout skin from experimental groups using qRT-PCR, which were further studied by RNA-Seq analysis. Here, through transcriptomics, we detected that complement factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and antimicrobial genes were strikingly induced in the skin of infected fish. Moreover, high alpha diversity values of microbiota in trout skin from the experimental groups were discovered. Interestingly, we found that Ich Infection led to a decreased abundance of skin commensals and increased colonization of opportunistic bacteria through 16S rRNA pyrosequencing, which were mainly characterized by lose of Proteobacteria and increased intensity of Flavobacteriaceae. To our knowledge, our results suggest for the first time that Parasitic Infection could inhibit symbionts and offer opportunities for other pathogens' secondary Infection in teleost skin.
