چکیده

BACKGROUND/AIMS Probiotic strains have been recognized to exert important roles in many biological systems, including immune response, growth, development and reproduction. However, to date, no studies have focused either on the relation among probiotics and maternal factors or on probiotics' ability to qualitatively and/or quantitatively modulate maternal transcripts. METHODS In this study, the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus administered to parental fish on the control of maternal factors involved in autophagic, apoptotic and dorsalizing processes during zebrafish embryo development were assessed through q-PCRs, WMISH and TUNEL assay. RESULTS The results we obtained show that probiotic induced significant changes in both maternal and zygotic mRNA levels involved in embryo development. The maternal autophagy-regulating genes herein investigated--ambra1a, ambra1b, beclin, lc3-, as well as those involved in the apoptotic process--caspase3, bcl2, bax--were modulated in disfavor and favor of the treated group, respectively. Also, the key transcripts ruling the dorsalizing process--goosecoid and chordin--were subject to a significant regulation of their gene expression. CONCLUSION The results we acquired demonstrated that parentally administered Lactobacillus rhamnosus is able to modulate important physiological processes involved in zebrafish embryo development.

Apoptotic and Autophagic modulation by nicotine

Cigarette smoking is growing and nicotine is considered as the most adverse agent in the cigarette smoking. Nicotine is an alkaloid and forms 90% of alkaloids of cigarette. Nicotine is accountable for creating disorders and cancers such as lung cancer, heart disease and chronic lung disease. Nicotine can be considered as an autophagy and apoptosis inducer which can either directly or indirectly...

Study of GH and Ghrelin genes expression during the larvae developmental period in Danio rerio

Zebra fish is an important species in genetics and considering the proximity of its genome to the human genome, investigating the expression of some of the growth and appetite genes during its larvae development is essential. Genes coding growth and appetite (GH and ghrelin) hormones are involved in the synthesis and release of growth hormone, which can be considered to be economic genes in pis...

A review of the Biotechnical of commercial breeding of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Current and proposed standards for commercial breeding of Danio rerio and other ornamental fish for production in laboratories and farms are different and require indigenize with the specific conditions of each production unit. But the general framework of zebrafish farming as a popular ornamental species and laboratory model has been reviewed by bioscientists for many years and can be consider...
