英文摘要There is clear evidence that the oceans are warming due to anthropogenic climate change, and the northeastern coast of USA contains some of the fastest warming areas. This warming is projected to continue with serious biological and social ramifications for fisheries and aquaculture. One species particularly vulnerable to warming is the Atlantic surfclam (Spisula solidissima). The surfclam is a critically important species, linking marine food webs and supporting a productive, lucrative, and sustainable fishery. The surfclam is also emerging as an attractive candidate for aquaculture diversification, but the warming of shallow coastal farms threatens the expansion of surfclam aquaculture. Little is known about the adaptive potential of surfclams to cope with ocean warming. In this study, the surfclam transcriptome under heat stress was examined. Two groups of surfclams were subjected to heat stress to assess how artificial selection may alter gene expression. One group of clams had been selected for greater heat tolerance (HS) and the other was composed of random control clams (RC). After a 6-h exposure to 16 or 29 degrees C, gill transcriptome expression profiles of the four temperature/group combinations were determined by RNA sequencing and compared. When surfclams experienced heat stress, they exhibited upregulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs), inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs), and other stress-response related genes. RC clams differentially expressed 1.7 times more genes than HS clams, yet HS clams had a stronger response of key stress response genes, including HSPs, IAPs, and genes involved with mitigating oxidative stress. The findings imply that the HS clams have a more effective response to heat stress after undergoing the initial selection event due to genetic differences created by the selection, epigenetic memory of the first heat shock, or both. This work provides insights into how surfclams adapt to heat stress and should inform future breeding programs that attempt to breed surfclam for greater heat tolerance, and ultimately bring greater resiliency to shellfish farms.
