During a routine North Sea demersal fish survey, very low fish catches were recorded at two primary stations off the Danish coast in September 1981. The catch of benthos at thesestations was much greater than the previous year, and underwater photographs from a headline camera revealed that this was a result of most infaunal species having emerged from beneath the sand. The phenomenon was assumed to be caused by low oxygen concentrations in bottom water following the collapse of a bloom of the dinoflagellate Ceratium furca.

ABSTRACT The responses of the anaerobic, sulfate-reducing organism Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough to low-oxygen exposure (0.1% O2) were monitored via transcriptomics and proteomics. Exposure to 0.1% O2 caused a decrease in the growth rate without affecting viability. Concerted upregulation of the predicted peroxide stress response regulon (PerR) genes was observed in response to the 0.1% O2 exposure. Several of the candidates also showed increases in protein abundance. Among the remaining small number of transcript changes was the upregulation of the predicted transmembrane tetraheme cytochrome c 3 complex. Other known oxidative stress response candidates remained unchanged during the low-O2 exposure. To fully understand the results of the 0.1% O2 exposure, transcriptomics and proteomics data were collected for exposure to air using a similar experimental protocol. In contrast to the 0.1% O2 exposure, air exposure was detrimental to both the growth rate and viability and caused dramatic changes at both the transcriptome and proteome levels. Interestingly, the transcripts of the predicted PerR regulon genes were downregulated during air exposure. Our results highlight the differences in the cell-wide responses to low and high O2 levels in D. vulgaris and suggest that while exposure to air is highly detrimental to D. vulgaris, this bacterium can successfully cope with periodic exposure to low O2 levels in its environment.

AbstractNeutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cells and are central players of the innate immune response. During their lifecycle, neutrophils mainly evolve under low oxygen conditions (0.1 - 4% O2) to which they are well adapted. Neutrophils are atypical cells since they are mainly glycolytic, and highly susceptible to oxygen-exposure, which induces their activation and death, through mechanisms which remain currently elusive. Nevertheless, nearly all studies conducted on neutrophils are carried out under atmospheric oxygen (21%), corresponding to hyperoxic conditions. Here we investigated the impact of hyperoxia during neutrophil purification and culture on neutrophil viability, activation and cytosolic protein content. Neutrophil hyper-activation (CD62L shedding) is induced during culture under hyperoxic conditions (24h), compared to neutrophils cultured under anoxic conditions. In addition, we show that maintaining neutrophils in autologous plasma is the most suitable strategy to maintain their basal state.Our results show that manipulating neutrophils under hyperoxic conditions leads to the loss of ~100 cytosolic proteins during purification, while it does not lead to an immediate impact on neutrophils activation (CD11bhigh, CD54high, CD62Llow) or viability (DAPI+). We identified two clusters of proteins belonging to the cholesterol metabolism and to the complement and coagulation cascade pathways, which are highly susceptible to neutrophil oxygen-exposure during their purification.In conclusion, preserving neutrophil from oxygen-exposure during their manipulation – purification and culture- is recommended to avoid their experimental activation and for preserving a large set of cytosolic proteins from alteration.

ABSTRACTThe Dungeness crab is an economically and ecologically important species distributed along the North American Pacific coast. To predict how Dungeness crab may physiologically respond to future global ocean change on a molecular level, we performed untargeted metabolomic approaches on individual Dungeness crab juveniles reared in treatments that mimicked current and projected future pH and dissolved oxygen conditions. We found 94 metabolites and 127 lipids responded in a condition-specific manner, with a greater number of known compounds more strongly responding to low oxygen than low pH exposure. Pathway analysis of these compounds revealed that juveniles may respond to low oxygen through evolutionarily conserved processes including downregulating glutathione biosynthesis and upregulating glycogen storage, and may respond to low pH by increasing ATP production. Most interestingly, we found that the response of juveniles to combined low pH and low oxygen exposure was most similar to the low oxygen exposure response, indicating low oxygen may drive the physiology of juvenile crabs more than pH. Our study elucidates metabolic dynamics that expand our overall understanding of how the species might respond to future ocean conditions and provides a comprehensive dataset that could be used in future ocean acidification response studies.
