Abstract A continued programme of research is essential to overcome production
36
bottlenecks in any aquacultured fish species. Since the introduction of genetic and
37
molecular techniques, the quality of immune research undertaken in fish has greatly
38
improved. Thousands of species specific cytokine genes have been discovered,
39
which can be used to conduct more sensitive studies to understand how fish
40
physiology is affected by aquaculture environments or disease. Newly available
41
transcriptomic technologies, make it increasingly easier to study the immunogenetics
42
of farmed species for which little data exists. This paper reviews how the application
43
of transcriptomic procedures such as RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) can advance fish
44
research. As a case study, we present some preliminary findings using RNA-Seq to
45
identify cytokine related genes in Seriola lalandi. These will allow in-depth
46
investigations to understand the immune responses of these fish in response to
47
environmental change or disease and help in the development of therapeutic
48
approaches.

1. Introduction
57
Both innate and adaptive immune responses utilise regulatory proteins called
58
cytokines, which are groups of small proteins (~5–20 kDa) important in cell signalling
59
and modulation of an organism’s immunity. Cytokines are produced by a broad
60
range of cells and each cytokine can be produced by more than one cell type, where
61
they can enhance or inhibit the action of other cytokines in complex ways. They are
62
important in health and disease and are important in immune responses to bacterial,
63
viral, or parasitic pathogens (Barrett, 1996; Vilček, 2003). Cells of the immune
64
system (macrophages, granulocytes, dendritic cells, B-cells, T-cells and mast cells)
65
and endothelial cells, fibroblasts and various stromal cells secrete cytokines that bind
66
to specific cellular receptors through autocrine or paracrine mechanisms. They effect
67
the behaviour of the cells around them, helping to modulate the balance between
68
humoral and cell-based immune responses and the maturation, growth, and
69
responsiveness of particular cell populations. In mammals, there are over 100
70
separate genes coding for cytokine-like activities, many with overlapping functions
71
and many still needing more study. Today, the term “cytokine” encompasses
72
interferons (IFN’s), the interleukins (IL’s), the tumour necrosis factor family (TNF’s),
73
the transforming growth factor family (TGF’s), the colony stimulating factor family
74
(CSF’s) and the chemokine family.

The activity of cytokines have been known of and studied in mammals since 1957,
77
where interferon-alpha (IFN-α) was fist investigated (Lindenmann et al., 1957).
78
However, it was not until the early 1980’s that the molecular cloning of the first
79
cytokines (IFNα, IL-1, IL-2 and TNFα) was achieved (Dinarello, 2007). Studies into
80
the regulation of fish immunity, began in the early 1990’s (Balm et al., 1995; Jang et
81
al., 1994; 1995; Verburg-van Kemenade et al., 1995) due to the importance of fish
82
within the aquaculture industry and the need to understand the regulation of
83
immunity, due to problems with disease. The first cytokine to be cloned in fish was
84
TGF-β (Sumathy et al., 1997; Hardie et al., 1998), followed closely by IL-1β (Zou et
85
al., 1999a; 1999b) and a few years later by TNF-α (Laing et al., 2001). Both of these
86
were discovered using a homology-based cloning approach, where known
AC C

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT mammalian amino acid sequences for a particular cytokine were aligned to reveal a
88
particularly conserved sequence. These regions were then used to design
89
degenerate oligonucleotides to enable amplification of the gene from a targeted fish
90
species. This approach was limited and only worked well when the genes being
91
targeted had not diverged too far during evolution. However, additional approaches
92
that became available shortly after such as subtractive hybridization (Sangrador-
93
Vegas et al., 2001) and expressed sequence tags (Altmann et al., 2003) also
94
contributed to the discovery of cytokines in fish, helping to identify homologues of IL-
95
8 and IFN-α.

96
These early approaches of cytokine discovery eventually fell out of favour with the availability of expressed sequence tag (EST) sequence processing (Lindlöf, 2003)
99
and the subsequent ability to sequence genomes which has become easier through
100
the development of next generation sequencing (NGS) technology (van Dijk et al.,
101
2014). One of the first fish genomes sequenced was from Takifugu rubripes
102
(Aparicio et al., 2002) and opened up the ability to search for cytokines in fish that
103
shared very little homology to their mammalian homologues. IL-2, IL-21 and IL-6
104
were some of the first cytokines to be discovered (Bird et al., 2005a; 2005b), where
105
conservation of synteny was found between the mammalian and fish genomes,
106
allowing their discovery. More recently, the development of technologies such as
107
RNA-Seq and the ability to sequence transcriptomes has transformed immune gene
108
discovery and provides the ability to profile immune gene expression in organisms
109
where no gene discovery had previously taken place (Dheilly et al., 2014).

123
making these types of studies more accessible to fish research, in species where no
124
genetic information has been collected (Dheilly et al., 2014). Currently, there are a
125
select number of fish species, where a large amount of genetic data has been
126
accumulated, however this has been the result of many years of research, where the
127
identification of genes took a significant amount of time (Zou et al., 2010; Secombes
128

129
sequencing technologies, capable of sequencing thousands to hundreds of millions
130
of short DNA strands (not specifically targeting a single sequence) without a prior
131
bacterial cloning and plasmid DNA isolation step, have enabled progress in the field
132
of gene identification to be accelerated greatly. This began in 2005 with the invention
133
of ‘massively parallel’ sequencing technologies (Mardis, 2011), with technological

Transcriptomics is also an area of molecular biology that is beginning to have a
167
large impact on fish cytokine research. Unlike the genome which is static, the
168
transcriptome of a cell is dynamic and is continually changing, due to the differences
169
in gene expression and the levels at which they are expressed. Techniques in this
170
area are less targeted and allow the study of 1000’s of genes simultaneously,
171
encoded by the genome from a specific cell, tissue or organism at a specific time or
172
under a specific set of conditions. Early studies used DNA microarrays, which is a
173
large collection of identified microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid surface, that
174
have initially been isolated from the species of interest. These spots will hybridize to
175
genes that are expressed in the sample and are detected using fluorescence,
176
allowing the relative abundance of nucleic acid sequences in the sample to be
177
determined. This approach has been very informative when investigating an
178
immunological response of a fish and how they are affected by changes to their
179
environment or disease (Tacchi et al., 2011; Tacchi et al., 2012; Pooley et al., 2013;
180
Mommens et al., 2014; Trumbic et al., 2015; Cho et al., 2016) and has led to the
181
understanding of actual biological pathways in the organism, rather than just
182
individual gene expression. However, although a powerful approach, it has been
183
limited by the lack of genetic data available in your species of interest beforehand to

produce the microarray and it is quite a costly and technically difficult approach to
185
use.
186
The advances being made by NGS have had a dramatic impact on the area of
188
transcriptomics and there are newly available technologies, such as RNA
189
sequencing (RNA-Seq), that are able to directly sequence the majority of RNA from
190
a cell or tissue sample to study all the genes being expressed at a particular point in
191
time (Wang et al., 2009; Costa, 2010). The advantage of this is it does not rely on or
192
is limited by the previous accumulation of genetic data and there is no requirement of
193
knowing the identity of all the transcripts to be analysed prior to analysis. Along with
194
cytokine discovery, this method is extremely useful for quantifying levels of gene
195
expression in a sample, and can be used for comparative transcriptomics, having the
196
potential to provide much more information, including isoform identification, rare
197
transcript detection, and SNP detection than previous methods such as microarrays.
198
RNA-Seq are newly developed and available technologies that have begun to be
199
used for transcriptomic studies in a number of fish species, such as trout (Palstra et
200
al., 2013), zebrafish (Hegedus et al., 2009; Ordas et al., 2011), Japanese sea bass
201
(Xiang et al., 2010) and the small yellow croaker (Mu et al., 2010). The next section
202
will focus on how a transcriptomics approach can be applied to a relatively
203
understudied teleost species without a genome available to aid in cytokine discovery.

3.1 Current state of kingfish aquaculture
209
Over the last 15 years, there has been acquisition of genetic information in a
210
variety of farmed fish species, allowing the implementation of new genetic
211
technologies within aquaculture (Bostock et al., 2010; Cerdà et al., 2010; Forné et al.,
212
2010; Johansen et al., 2009; Thakur et al., 2008). Before this type of information was
213
available, the monitoring of fish immune responses to changes in their environments
214
was very arbitrary and normally measured by physiological parameters or fish
215
mortalities. With the development of genetic approaches, more focussed studies can
216
now be achieved, which have allowed researchers to look in more detail and attempt
217
to solve some of the important bottlenecks there are in successful production of a
218
particular fish species. In some cases, findings from this research, have then been
219
passed down to the fish farmers themselves, who can translate them into good

S. lalandi are widely distributed throughout the warm–temperate waters of the
223
southern hemisphere. In the wild they reach 1.7 m in length and weigh 56 kg and are
224
a highly prized game fish, having excellent flesh quality for a range of product
225
options (such as whole fillets, sushi and the highly valued sashimi), giving it
226
significant domestic and international market opportunities. Successful aquaculture
227
of this species in New Zealand would provide a reliable and controlled production of
228
kingfish to an ever growing market. Culture of S. lalandi is already underway in
229
Australia where fingerlings are hatched and grown to maturity in sea cages (Primary
230
Industries and Resources South Australia, 2011). Already in Japan there is a very
231
close related species farmed, the Japanese Yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata),
232
which forms the basis of a major aquaculture industry in Japan, where wild caught
233
juveniles are grown out in sea cages. Despite an increase in demand of these
234
farmed species, there is a general lack of scientific and farming knowledge and
235
significant problems exist with diseases (Stephens and Savage, 2010; Burger et al.,
236
2008; Kawanishi et al., 2005; 2006; Tubbs et al., 2004; Kobayashi, 2010; Mansell et

these problems will improve the current husbandry of S. lalandi and provide
239
countries such as New Zealand interested in its aquaculture with the ability to
240
successfully introduce this species.
241
To date, limited studies have been done to determine and understand the
243
genetics of S. lalandi which would provide invaluable insights into the physiology of
244
this fish and allow the determination of the optimum conditions for its culture. Work
245
has begun within S. quinqueradiata, where there are 2936 EST sequences from the
246
spleen and kidney, available from a study into its immune response and a cDNA
247
microarray has been constructed using 1001 selected EST sequences to allow
248
immune gene profiling (Darawiroj et al., 2008). Currently, there are very few S.
249
lalandi nucleotide sequences deposited within the National Center for Biotechnology
250
Information (NCBI) nucleotide database, which include a limited number of genes for
251
this species (Supplementary Table 1). Previous research into the immune
252
responses of S. lalandi has relied on physiological analysis such as studying mucus
253
and serum (Leef & Lee, 2008) or the concentration of blood lactate and plasma
254
osmolality (Mansell et al., 2005). A greater understanding is desperately required for
255
the immune system of Seriola sp. and NGS technology provides the data needed for
256
a comprehensive study of these species. Using this approach will allow the

273
leading to a lowering of pH, which is measured by a semi-conductor. This is one of

281

283
200 to 16046 bp) for the spleen and 13178 contigs (length range 200 to 10497 bp)

285
the webtool 'FastAnnotator' (Chen et al., 2012), where tBLASTn (Gertz et al., 2006)
286
was used to translate each contig into all six reading frames and then use each one
287
to search the NCBI's non-redundant protein database. Each identified protein was
288
then submitted into Blast2GO (Götz et al., 2008) for the GO term annotation. The
289
BLAST search was able to align 32,383 of the spleen contigs and 7898 of the
290
pituitary/gonad contigs to known proteins in the non-redundant protein database.
291
The GO enrichment analysis from the spleen (Figure 2) and the gonad/pituitary
292
(Figure 3) transcripts identified a number involved within immune system processes.

From these transcripts, cytokines and their receptors were able to be identified and

299
important for aquaculture, such as trout and salmon. Teleosts have been found to

have a very similar immune cell repertoire and have many of the protein components
301
important for innate and adaptive immune responses that have been characterized 11
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 302
within mammals (Zhu, et al., 2013). This includes important receptors, involved in
303
initiating innate responses such as Toll-like receptors (TLR’s) and includes members
304
such as TLR-1, TLR-2, TLR-3, TLR-4, TLR-5, TLR-7, TLR-8 and TLR-9 (Pietretti &

308
large number of the molecules important in regulating immunity, the cytokines have
309
also been characterised and include many of the members of the interleukin (IL)
310
family (Secombes et al., 2016), interferon (IFN) family (Zou et al., 2016), tumor

studies that have investigated the effects of stress or pathogens in Seriola species
323
have had to use mortality or pathological traits such as serum and mucus production,
324
blood glucose and lactate concentrations, muscle pH and lactate concentrations and
325
plasma osmolality to determine the physiology of the fish (Mansell et al., 2005; Leef
326
& Lee, 2009; Moran et al., 2008). While this provides useful information about the
327
effects of disease and stress on S. lalandi, using actual cytokine gene expression
328
studies would allow a more in depth analysis of these effects at the molecular level,
329
which would be particularly useful for the monitoring of immune system response to
330
disease, vaccinations, stress and general fish health (Darawiroj et al., 2008).

The spleen tissue was targeted for transcriptomics as is the main filter for
333
blood-borne pathogens and antigens and is a key organ for iron metabolism and 12

335
is important for the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses locally and
336
throughout the whole body (Bronte & Pittet, 2013). The pituitary and gonad
337
transcriptome was available as it had been used for a study into sex differentiation.
338
However, in mammals evidence exists that cytokines are produced by pituitary cells
339
can mediate development, mature function, and cellular organization of the anterior
340
pituitary and also directly regulate specific pituitary trophic hormone gene expression
341
(Ray & Melmed, 1997). In addition, studies in fish have shown cytokine expression
342
does occur in the gonads (Chaves-Pozo et al, 2008). Using the S. lalandi spleen and
343
pituitary/gonad transcriptomic databases that were generated and subsequently
344
searched, a significant number of cytokine genes and receptors were discovered
345
(Table 1) important in both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Most of
346
these assembled sequences represent partial mRNA’s that can be translated to

348
full amino acid sequence. For example, using the transcriptomic libraries it was
349
possible to assemble the full open reading frame for S. lalandi TNFSF13B, also
350
known as B cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF). This is an
351
important member of the TNF ligand superfamily (Schneider, 2005) and is critical for
352
the survival/maturation and proliferation for peripheral B cells, (Rolink & Melchers,
353
2002; Stein et al., 2002; Mackay et al., 2003; Mackay and Leung, 2006). BAFF is a
354
type II transmembrane protein and is found either anchored to the cell surface or
355
released in a soluble form after cleavage by a furin-like protease, with both forms
356
having biological activity (Moore et al., 1999; Schneider et al., 1999). TNFSF13B has
357
been characterised in a number of fish species, including zebrafish (Liang et al.,

2010), mefugu (Ai et al., 2011), Japanese sea perch (Cui et al., 2012); grass carp

(Pandit et al., 2013), yellow grouper (Xiao et al., 2014), miiuy coaker (Meng et al.,
360

361
lalandi BAFF amino acid sequence with selected vertebrate sequences identified
362
important features (Figure 4) such as a transmembrane domain, a furin protease
363
cleavage site, a TNF homology domain and a conserved D-E loop (known as the
364
“Flap”), which is unique to TNFSF13B and found in no other TNFSF. Interestingly,
365
previous investigations had revealed that many fish species have more than one
366
TNFSF13B gene present (Secombes et al., 2016), forming two very distinct groups.

5. The use of omics in future fish cytokine research
375
Currently, there are still a significant number of investigations using microarrays
376
to investigate teleost immune gene responses (including cytokine gene expression)
377
to disease or changes in their environment using all the gene information that has
378
been discovered in a select number of species (Boltaña et al., 2017; Schaeck et al.,

381
have had a significant amount of gene discovery already carried out or a genome is
382
available, however RNA-seq allows transcriptomics investigations to be carried out in
383
any fish species with no previous genetic background. Recent studies, include a
384

Interestingly with the development of NGS approaches and RNA-seq, we now

fish and transcriptomics may only appear to be helping to speed up their
410
identification in a newly studied fish species. But this is not entirely true and there
411
remains a lot that we can learn using this approach and justifies its use above
412
platforms, such as microarray. The information obtained during RNA-seq offers an
413
unbiased detection of transcripts, meaning that it can detect novel transcripts,
414
duplicated genes, indels (small insertions and deletions), and single nucleotide
415
variants (Hegedus et al., 2009; Robinson et al., 2012; Schunter et al., 2014; Wan et
416
al., 2015; Wang et al., 2014). Experiments can also be designed to determine the
417
types of non-coding transcripts and microRNAs (Desvignes et al., 2014; Jiang et al.,
418
2016 ; Pauli et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2016; Yang et al., 2015), present in an
419
experiment, which may play a role in cytokine gene expression. These are all things
420
that have not been investigated to any great detail in relation to fish cytokine genes
421
and will be easy to do now with the available and future technologies. Additionally,
422
RNA-seq is much more sensitive than microarray, being able to quantify discrete,
423
digital sequencing read counts instead of using gene expression measurements
424
limited by background fluorescence at the low end and signal saturation at the high
425
end. Lastly, the detection of rare transcripts, single transcripts per cell, or weakly
426
expressed genes can easily be targeted, by increasing sequencing coverage depth.
427
Each of these advantages will allow a new understanding into the cytokine genes
428
expressed under different conditions within a fish species and their regulation, to a
429
detail not previously possible.

6. Conclusion
432
Understanding the physiological responses of farmed fish to their surrounding environment
434
transcriptomics are areas of molecular biology that are beginning to have a large
435
impact on aquaculture research. These techniques can be used to help identify
436
immune genes of interest, such as cytokines and their receptors, in any farmed
437
species for their use in quantitative expression. Using the latest technology available,
438
we have been able to identify a large number of S. lalandi cytokine genes and
439
receptors involved in inflammatory and adaptive immune responses. The
440
inflammatory response is an important part of innate immunity and pro-inflammatory
441
cytokines have been proven especially useful when looking at immune responses of
442
fish following pathogenic infection or injury (Covello et al., 2009; Lepen-Pleić et al,
443
2013). Understanding adaptive immune responses in fish will be critical for
444
successful therapeutic approaches to be developed, such as vaccinations
445
(Brudeseth et al., 2013; Zhu et al., 2013) and is an area that still requires a lot of
446
investigation. However, this is beginning to change as new molecular tools and
447
approaches are being used and developed, such as transcriptomics and the
448
development of monoclonal antibodies (Alnabulsi et al., 2013). This is allowing more
449
intricate investigations of a fish’s response to be monitored, and will lead to a greater
450
understanding of how vaccines perform (Gioacchini et al., 2008; von Gersdorff
