Summary: This study establishes a simple and successful technology for large-scale artificial breeding of Holothuria leucospilota, a tropical sea cucumber, through constant stimulation and dry shock. The best diet scheme for their development is a mixture of Chlorella pyrenoidosa powder, Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast powder, and sea mud, with a feeding mode of 2:1:2 ratio.

Summary: The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota has become commercially important due to the overexploitation of other tropical sea cucumbers. This study investigated different ratios of microalgae and yeast as diets for H. leucospilota larvae and found that a combination of C. muelleri and S. cerevisiae at a 3:1 ratio resulted in optimal growth and development.

Summary: Apoptosis is a critical biological process for embryonic development, tissue differentiation, and organism homeostasis. A novel apoptosis-inducing factor called AIF-2 has been identified in sea cucumbers, and it is involved in heavy metal-induced apoptosis, contributing to the understanding of the caspase-independent apoptotic pathway in ancient echinoderm species.

Summary: Marine organisms, including sea cucumbers, have shown promising anti-cancer effects. In this study, the anti-cancer effect of a protein extracted from the edible sea cucumber species Holothuria leucospilota (H. leucospilota) was investigated. The protein demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition on the viability of various cancer cell lines, while showing no effects on normal cell lines. It also affected the cell cycle and induced apoptosis in cancer cells, and exhibited excellent performance in inhibiting cell migration. This protein shows potential as a promising anti-cancer drug.

Summary: This study identifies 55 genes belonging to 7 families of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota, confirming the conservation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway between vertebrates and echinoderms. The Bcl-2 family shows significant gene expansion in H. leucospilota, while the pro-apoptotic factor Endo G is generally lost in echinoderms. Transcriptional data reveals the widespread expression of intrinsic apoptotic pathway genes in all tissues and developmental stages of H. leucospilota. The study also highlights the different responses of caspase genes in primary coelomocytes to pathogenic and environmental challenges.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of salinity changes on the survival, growth, and development of sea cucumber larvae. The results showed that larvae had higher survival rates in normal salinities (30 and 34 ppt) and lower survival rates in extreme salinities (18, 22, and 42 ppt). Larval body length increased in normal salinities during the culture period, but decreased due to metamorphosis in the late stage. The proportion of larvae without development potential was the lowest at a salinity level of 34 ppt. Late-stage larvae had better tolerance to salinity shock than mid-stage larvae, and both stages were more tolerant to hypertonic than hypotonic conditions.

Summary: There is a growing need in China for tropical sea cucumber seedlings for fishery restoration and marine environment. This study identified differentially expressed genes and metabolites between fast-growing and slow-growing sea cucumbers, revealing differences in protein and fatty acid synthesis, vitamin synthesis, oxidative stress regulation, and apoptosis. These findings contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind different growth rates of sea cucumbers, providing potential benefits for sea cucumber aquaculture.

Summary: In this study, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Next-Generation sequencing (NGS) were used to investigate the changes in metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles during pigmentation in the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota. The analysis identified differentially regulated metabolites and expressed genes, suggesting notable alterations in nutritional status rather than the classical melanin pathway during the pigmentation process.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
