- This study provided the transcriptome data for three periods of ovarian development in carp.
- Many genes and signal pathways related to ovary differentiation in carp were reported in this study.
- These results provided invaluable new data for the in-depth study of candidate genes in breeding programs of carp.
Ovary development is a complex process involving numerous genes; the molecular mechanism underlying the ovary development of carp is still unknown. Here we used Illumina HiSeq⢠2500 to explore the transcriptome of undifferentiated gland (PG), juvenile ovary (OJ) and adult ovary (OA) of Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of 58,749 unigenes were obtained, comprising 45,707 known genes and 13,042 new genes. We identified differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) during development and characterized the functional properties of DEGs by comparison with the gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases. qRT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of 22 DEGs and the results corresponded with those of RNA-Seq. Among DEGs between PG and OJ, some upstream regulators of gonad development were upregulated in PG, such as cyp19a and sox9, while some oocyte-specific genes were upregulated in OJ, such as nobox, bmp15 and zp2. Among DEGs between OJ and OA, many oocyte physiological function-related genes were upregulated in OA, such as fem-1 and foxl2. GO analysis showed a higher number of DEGs from PG-OJ analysis were assigned to reproduction terms. Furthermore, our investigation has also revealed DEGs identified from PG-OJ analysis were enriched in several important functional pathways, such as Fanconi anemia and the notch signal pathway. These data suggested a dynamic shift in gene expression during ovary development, and DEGs between PG and OJ provided crucial candidate gene data for the study of ovarian differentiation. Additionally, a total of 1,776,769 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 157,279 INDEs were revealed from transcriptome data. This result will contribute to knowledge of ovary differentiation of Yellow River carp.
