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. Two cck complementary DNAs ( cck-1 and cck-2 ) in red seabream were identified, and tissue distribution analysis of the genes revealed...

Description
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 6 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.
