Abstract

In salmonids, exposure to elevatedtemperature impairsoogenesis. As such, there is a need to understand the molecular mechanisms that underpin this process, and develop mitigation strategies that maintain or rescue reproductive development inbroodstock.In thisstudy, follicle stimulating hormone (Fsh)and/or insulin-like growth factor1(Igf1) treatment were assessed for their ability to promotereproductive functionat 14 and 22 °C in ovarian follicles from coho salmon in vitro. Maintenance at 22°C resulted in the downregulation of fsh receptor, 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyaseand p450 aromatase a(cyp19a1a), and connexin 34.3(cx34.3).While combined treatment with Fsh and Igf1stimulated the expression of cyp19a1aat 14 °C, thistreatment was not effective at 22 °C. Upregulation of cx34.3 occurred inresponse to treatments that contained Igf1regardless of temperature, and there is evidence to suggest that apoptosis was inhibited to some extent at 22 °C following combined treatment with Fsh and Igf1. This studydemonstratesthe thermal impairmentof key reproductive genes, and highlights the potential for novel hormone treatments to rescue oogenesis in salmonids.
