mTOR signaling pathway regulates embryonic development and rapid growth of triploid crucian carp

Triploid crucian carp is a new breed of aquaculture with rapid growth characteristics. However, its growth regulation mechanism has not yet been elucidated. In this study, our results show that the expression levels of mTOR signaling pathway-related genes (AKT1, AKT2, AKT3, mTOR, 4E-BP1 and S6K1) ar...

description Triploid crucian carp is a new breed of aquaculture with rapid growth characteristics. However, its growth regulation mechanism has not yet been elucidated. In this study, our results show that the expression levels of mTOR signaling pathway-related genes (AKT1, AKT2, AKT3, mTOR, 4E-BP1 and S6K1) are higher in the muscle and intestine tissues of triploid crucian carp than those of diploid red crucian carp. Embryos of triploid crucian carp exhibit a faster growth rate comparing to red crucian carp. And in muscle effect stage, the mRNA levels of mTOR signaling pathway related genes in triploid crucian carp are higher than red crucian carp, except for AKT2. Inhibition of mTOR activity with rapamycin leads to slower embryonic development and the eliminated expression of mTOR in the embryos of neurula, muscle effect, and eye pigmentation stages. Conversely, overexpression of the upstream gene AKT2 can promote the development of zebrafish embryos and affect the expression of mTOR signaling pathway. These data highlight the significant role of mTOR signaling pathway in regulating fish embryonic development and rapid growth, and might offer new insights and avenues for exploring fish embryonic development, improving fish growth.
