Osmoregulation in the Plotosidae Catfish: Role of the Salt Secreting Dendritic Organ.

Abstract:

:Unlike other marine teleosts, the Plotosidae catfishes reportedly have an extra-branchial salt secreting dendritic organ (DO). Salinity acclimation [brackishwater (BW) 3aaa, seawater (SWcontrol) 34aaa, and hypersaline water (HSW) 60aaa] for 14 days was used to investigate the osmoregulatory abilities of Plotosus lineatus through measurements of blood chemistry, muscle water content (MWC), Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) specific activity and ion transporter expression in gills, DO, kidney and intestine. Ion transporter expression was determined using immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). HSW elevated mortality, plasma osmolality and ions, and hematocrit, and decreased MWC indicating an osmoregulatory challenge. NKA specific activity and protein levels were significantly higher in DO compared to gill, kidney and intestine at all salinities. NKA specific activity increased in kidney and posterior intestine with HSW but only kidney showed correspondingly higher NKA α-subunit protein levels. Since DO mass was greater in HSW, the total amount of DO NKA activity expressed per gram fish was greater indicating higher overall capacity. Gill NKA and V-ATPase protein levels were greater with HSW acclimation but this was not reflected in NKA activity, mRNA or ionocyte abundance. BW acclimation resulted in lower NKA activity in gill, kidney and DO. Cl- levels were better regulated and the resulting strong ion ratio in BW suggests a metabolic acidosis. Elevated DO heat shock protein 70 levels in HSW fish indicate a cellular stress. Strong NKA and NKCC1 (Na+:K+:2Cl- cotransporter1) co-localization was observed in DO parenchymal cells, which was rare in gill ionocytes. NKCC1 immunoblot expression was only detected in DO, which was highest at HSW. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator Cl- channel (CFTR) localize apically to DO NKA immunoreactive cells. Taken together, the demonstration of high NKA activity in DO coexpressed with NKCC1 and CFTR indicates the presence of the conserved secondary active Cl- secretion mechanism found in other ion transporting epithelia suggesting a convergent evolution with other vertebrate salt secreting organs. However, the significant osmoregulatory challenge of HSW indicates that the DO may be of limited use under more extreme salinity conditions in contrast to the gill based ionoregulatory strategy of marine teleosts.
