Summary: This study revealed the virulence of Aeromonas veronii infection in spotted sea bass. The 18BJ181 strain caused the fastest death in the fish. The bacteria primarily colonized the spleen and proliferated massively in the blood, resulting in acute septicemia. Histopathology showed edema, degeneration, and necrosis in the spleen, providing insights into the pathological features. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated the up-regulation of certain genes at 8 hours post-infection, indicating the activation of chemokine signal pathway and acute inflammatory response.

Summary: In this study, a strain of Edwardsiella piscicida was isolated from spotted sea bass in China, showing strong pathogenicity in the newly recognized host. The strain carried multiple virulence genes, had various extracellular enzyme activities, and caused severe clinical symptoms and histopathological lesions in the infected fish. Expression of immune response genes was significantly upregulated after infection, indicating activation of the host's innate immune response. These findings enhance our understanding of E. piscicida infection in spotted sea bass.

Summary: This experiment investigated the effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on lipid metabolism in spotted sea bass. Different diets with varying lipid levels and LBP supplementation were provided to the fish. The results showed that LBP improved lipid metabolism disorders in fish, leading to improved growth, digestion, antioxidant capacity, and liver health.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of adding Clostridium butyricum (CB) to the feed of juvenile spotted sea bass. It found that adding 0.2% and 0.3% CB significantly improved the growth performance, digestion, and intestinal health of the fish. The addition of CB also altered the composition of the fish's intestinal microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria and decreasing harmful bacteria.

Summary: Four IL-10 family members were identified and studied in spotted sea bass, and their expression patterns were investigated during infection and immune challenge. These ILs showed different expression patterns in normal tissues but were highly expressed in gills, indicating their roles in mucosal immunity. After infection and immune challenge, the expression of these ILs increased in several immune-related tissues. Overall, these findings provide insight into the function and networks of IL-10 family members in fish. Rating: 7/10.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Porphyra yezoensis polysaccharides (PPs) on the intestinal health of spotted sea bass. The results showed that the supplementation of 12 g/kg PPs significantly improved the body weight gain, specific growth rate, condition factor, intestinal morphology, and microbial composition of the spotted sea bass. Therefore, the appropriate addition of PPs can enhance the intestinal health of spotted sea bass.

Summary: This study investigated the gene expression profiles and alternative splicing events in the spotted sea bass fish under hypoxia stress. The results revealed the activation of the HIF signal network system and the suppression of the cell cycle process in response to hypoxia. Additionally, key biological pathways and alternative splicing events associated with hypoxia were identified. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hypoxia response in spotted sea bass and other fish species.

Summary: This study characterized the gill morphological and transcriptomic profiles of spotted sea bass after alkalinity stress, identifying differentially expressed genes and alternative splicing genes related to alkalinity response. Key genes associated with cell-cell junctions, signal transduction, and ion transportation were identified, providing insights into the genetic basis for alkalinity adaptation. The findings of this study will aid in the development of molecular breeding programs for the utilization of alkalinity waters.

Summary: This study selected 10 candidate reference genes and evaluated their expression stability in different tissues and under different pathogen infection conditions using four algorithms. The results showed that RPL19 was the most stable gene in spotted sea bass under normal conditions, while GAPDH was the most unstable gene. Other stable reference genes were identified in different tissues under various pathogen infections.

Summary: In this study, NLRC3-like, ASC, and Caspase1 genes were identified and characterized in the spotted sea bass. These genes were ubiquitously distributed in various tissues and showed similar expression patterns, with the highest expression in the gill. The results indicate that these genes are involved in the immune response against bacterial infection in the spotted sea bass, providing insight into the immune function and mechanism of the fish inflammasome.

Summary: In this study, four P2X receptor homologues were identified in spotted sea bass and their functions in regulating gene expression related to inflammation were investigated. The results suggest that these receptors may regulate the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines via the NF-κB pathway.
