Abstract
pH has a great impact on the distribution, growth, behavior, and physiology in many aquatic animals. The comparison of proteomics between normal and high pH stress samples was successfully achieved using iTRAQ proteomic analysis to screen key response proteins and pathways. After high pH stress, 124 upregulated and 41 downregulated proteins were identified. The higher expression levels of proteins like citrate synthase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, and cytochrome c oxidase are associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. The upregulation of glucose-regulated protein 78 indicated that the endoplasmic reticulum stress is induced by high pH stress. There were significant upregulation expressions of V-type H+-ATPase, Na+, K+-ATPase, 14-3-3 protein, as well as ATP-binding cassette transmembrane transporters after high pH exposure, which indicating their important roles in response to high pH stress. The abundance of proteins involved in protein glycosylation, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, protein export, and glutathione metabolism were found enriched in high pH group than in control group. Quantitative proteomic profiling and integrated analysis with transcriptomic data provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying the molecular response to high pH stress in Fenneropenaeus chinensis.
