Cholecystokinin 1 and 2 in red seabream Pagrus major: molecular cloning, response to feeding, and a potential indicator of dietary protein source quality
Cholecystokinin (Cck) and peptide YY (Pyy) play important roles in digestive regulation in fish, but their function in red seabream ( Pagrus major ) remains obscure.

Summary: | Cholecystokinin (Cck) and peptide YY (Pyy) play important roles in digestive regulation in fish, but their function in red seabream (
Pagrus major
) remains obscure. Two
cck
complementary DNAs (
cck-1
and
cck-2
) in red seabream were identified, and tissue distribution analysis of the genes revealed that
cck
and
pyy
were expressed throughout the digestive tract, except for stomach
cck-2
. After feeding,
cck-1
expression significantly increased in the stomach and pyloric caeca,
cck-2
expression significantly increased in the pyloric caeca and hindgut, and
pyy
expression increased in the pyloric caeca of red seabream. After oral administration of dietary protein, i.e., high-quality fish meal (HQFM), soy protein concentrate (SPC), or low-quality FM (LQFM), only HQFM significantly increased stomach
cck-1
expression. To assess the growth of red seabream in response to different sources of dietary protein, three isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated: HQFM, SPC with a low percentage of HQFM, and LQFM. Mean body weight was highest in the HQFM group after 6Â weeks. The stomach
cck-1
response to HQFM may explain the high growth in the HQFM group. Our data suggest that
cck-1
,
cck-2
, and
pyy
are involved in digestion. Furthermore, stomach
cck-1
may be a valuable tool for evaluating the quality of dietary protein sources for red seabream. |
