Abstract
- Heat shock procedure is crucial for gynogenetic manipulation leading to diploidization of the maternal genomes; however, the underlying molecular mechanism especially the transcriptomic changes during this procedure has still not been unveiled yet. Here, the artificial gynogenesis of zebrafish (Danio rerio) using inactivated sperm from rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was conducted. We found that artificial gynogenetic manipulation, including pseudo-fertilization and heat shock, decreased hatching rates, whereas heat shock treatment alone had medium hatching rates. The first cleavage changed the expression of genes associated with RNA transcription and protein synthesis. A co-expression network regulated by hub genes GIT1, Sepsecs, and FLNB was significantly correlated with heat shock procedure. The cyclin family and cyclin-dependent kinase-related genes were lowly expressed in embryos from gynogenetic zebrafish, and genes involved in controlling the cell cycle and genomic stability were significantly altered by the gynogenetic treatment. Our results show the effects of artificial gynogenesis on embryos and describe changes in gene expression that suggest drastic changes take place in cell division by heat shock procedure. These findings will contribute to an understanding of the molecular basis for germplasm improving, including the purifying effect and allogynogenetic biological effect by gynogenesis.
