Infection with the protozoan ectoparasite Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of AGD, remains a global threat to salmonid farming. This study aimed to analyse the exoproteome of both an attenuated and virulent N. perurans isolate using proteomics and cytotoxicity testing. A disproportionate presence of proteins from the co-cultured microbiota of N. perurans was revealed on searching an amalgamated database of bacterial, N. perurans and Amoebozoa proteins. LC‑MS/MS identified 33 differentially expressed proteins, the majority of which were upregulated in the attenuated exoproteome. Proteins of putative interest found in both exoproteomes were maltoporin, ferrichrome-iron receptor, and putative ferric enterobactin receptor. Protease activity remained significantly elevated in the attenuated exoproteome compared with the virulent exoproteome. Similarly, the attenuated exoproteome had a significantly higher cytotoxic effect on rainbow trout gill cell line (RTgill W1) cells compared with the virulent exoproteome. The presence of a phosphatase and serine protease in the virulent exoproteome may facilitate AGD infection but do not appear to be key players in causing cytotoxicity. Altogether, this study reveals prolonged culture of N. perurans affects the exoproteome composition in favour of nutritional acquisition, and that the current culturing protocol for virulent N. perurans does not facilitate the secretion of virulence factors.

The response of rainbow trout Na+ and Cl- uptake systems to acute acidosis was tested by slow infusion of lactic acid into anaesthetized animals. Depression of blood pH by 0–4 pH unit had no effect on influx rates for either ion, and we conclude that gill ion uptake systems do not respond rapidly to blood pH changes.

Sodium efflux (JoutNa) across the irrigated trout gill was rapid in sea water (SW), but only about 25 % as large in fresh water (FW). The difference correlated with a change in the potential difference across the gill (TEP). The latter was about +10 mV (blood positive) in SW, but –40 mV in FW. Both flux and electrical data indicated that gills in this fish are permeable to a variety of cations including Na+, K+, Mg2+, choline, and Tris. They are less permeable to anions; PNa:PK:PCl was estimated to be 1:10:0.3, and PCl > Pgluconate. The TEP was shown to be a diffusion potential determined by these permeabilities and the extant ionic gradients in SW, FW as well as in other media. JoutNa appeared to be diffusive in all of the experiments undertaken. Exchange diffusion need not be posited, and the question of whether there is an active component remains open.

The expression of the V-type proton ATPase (H+-ATPase) was examined in the gill of the freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using immunocytochemistry in concert with laser scanning confocal or electron microscopy. A synthetic peptide consisting of the carboxy-terminal region of the 31 kDa subunit of the bovine renal H+-ATPase was used to generate an antiserum in rabbits, and its suitability for use in trout gill was confirmed by western blotting. Gill epithelial cells demonstrated specific immunoreactivity, the intensity of which was increased markedly after 18 h of exposure to hypercapnia (1 % CO2 in air). The increased intensity of H+-ATPase immunoreactivity was associated with elevated branchial net acid excretion. In the hypercapnic fish, the specific immunoreactivity was associated with both the apical membrane and cytoplasm. Electron microscopy revealed that specific immunoreactivity was localized to the pavement cells and was particularly associated with the apical membrane and subapical cytoplasmic vesicles. The increased H+-ATPase immunoreactivity in the epithelial cells of hypercapnic fish and the increased intensity of the immunoreactive bands in western blots from hypercapnic fish demonstrate an 'up-regulation' of this protein in response to respiratory acidosis. The results are discussed with reference to current models of acid­base and ion regulation in the gill of freshwater fish.
