Abstract
AbstractThe present study describes the kidney transcriptome of Labeo rohita, a freshwater fish, exposed to gradually increased salinity concentrations (2, 4, 6 and 8ppt). A total of 10.25 Gbps data was generated, and a suite of bioinformatics tools, including FEELnc, CPC2 and BLASTn were employed for identification of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and micro RNAs (miRNAs). Our analysis revealed a total of 170, 118, 99, and 269 differentially expressed lncRNA and 120, 118, 99, and 124 differentially expressed miRNAs in 2, 4, 6 and 8 ppt treatment groups respectively. Two competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed i.e. A* ceRNA network with up-regulated lncRNAs and mRNAs, down-regulated miRNAs; and B* ceRNA network vice versa. 2ppt group had 131 and 83 lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA pairs in A* and B* networks, respectively. 4ppt group featured 163 pairs in A* network and 191 in B* network, while the 6ppt had 103 and 105 pairs. 8ppt group included 192 and 174 pairs. These networks illuminate the intricate RNA interactions in freshwater fish to varying salinity conditions.
