Hepatopancreatic transcriptome response of Penaeus vannamei to dietary ulvan

The study aimed to determine the effect of feeding dietary ulvan on some genes and pathways Penaeus vannamei juveniles. Feeding a diet containing at 1.0 g·kg-1 resulted in differentially expressed (DEGs) between treatments control group. Ulvan 53 DEGs with 26 up 27-down-regulated DEGs. were immune-related, while several affected energy substrate metabolic pathways. Specific upregulated Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) glycerolipid synthesis, centrosomal protein 120 involved cell cycling other activities, RNA helicase, an enzyme opening DNA molecules, ATP-binding cassette, TATA-binding protein, taurine transporter, transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF), C-type lectin among others. Down-regulated included gamma-crystallin, which acts as molecular chaperones; catenin alpha, is adhesion complex; dystrophin, scaffolding for signaling molecules; maintenance muscle integrity, Top that significantly important include TEAD (transcriptional domain), GSK3B (glycogen synthase Kinase 3 beta), SLC6A1 (i.e., solute carrier Family 6 Member 1), ADCY2, signal transduction, environmental adaptation well endocrine, immune, nervous, digestive systems. In conclusion, up-regulation immune-related DEGs, could probably be used adapt unfavorable conditions also potentially direct overall metabolism.
