Abstract:

Within 4 days following entry into estivation, heat dissipation and oxygen consumption by the land snail Oreohelix spp. decreased by 83% compared to standard non-estivating rates. During both non-estivating and estivating conditions, the quantity of heat dissipated per mole of O2 consumed was indicative of a completely aerobic metabolism. This calorimetric-respirometric (C/R) ratio was −461±12 kJ mol−1O2 (S.E.M., N=5) under standard non-estivating conditions and −464±26 kJ mol−1O2 (N=4) during estivation. Respiratory exchange ratios reflected a primary dependence upon carbohydrate as a metabolic substrate during both states. Carbon dioxide retention occurred during the first 36h of estivation, resulting in an increase in hemolymph PCOCO2 and a decrease in pH. The respiratory acidosis during short-term estivation was not compensated by elevation of hemolymph [HCO3−] above levels predicted from the in vitro nonbicarbonate buffer value of hemolymph. A brief period of rapid CO2 release, which caused hemolymph PCOCO2 and pH to return to pre-estivation values, preceded the increase in O2 consumption during arousal. Exposure of nonestivating snails to 4.67 kPa PCOCO2 (1 kPa=7.5 mmHg) caused a rapid and fully reversible 50% suppression of respiration rate. The temporal nature of CO2 retention and release during entry into and arousal from estivation, and the suppression of O2 consumption by artificial hypercapnia, support the hypothesis that elevated PCOCO2. or the resultant acidosis may contribute to metabolic suppression during estivation by land snails.

Abstract:

Green-striped burrowing frogs ( Cyclorana alboguttata ) survive in arid environments by burrowing underground and entering into a deep, prolonged metabolic depression known as estivation. Throughout estivation, C. alboguttata is immobilized within a cast-like cocoon of shed skin and ceases feeding and moving. Remarkably, these frogs exhibit very little muscle atrophy despite extended disuse and fasting. Little is known about the transcriptional regulation of estivation or associated mechanisms that may minimize degradative pathways of atrophy. To investigate transcriptional pathways associated with metabolic depression and maintenance of muscle function in estivating burrowing frogs, we assembled a skeletal muscle transcriptome using next-generation short read sequencing and compared gene expression patterns between active and 4 mo estivating C. alboguttata . This identified a complex suite of gene expression changes that occur in muscle during estivation and provides evidence that estivation in burrowing frogs involves transcriptional regulation of genes associated with cytoskeletal remodeling, avoidance of oxidative stress, energy metabolism, the cell stress response, and apoptotic signaling. In particular, the expression levels of genes encoding cell cycle and prosurvival proteins, such as serine/threonine-protein kinase Chk1, cell division protein kinase 2, survivin, and vesicular overexpressed in cancer prosurvival protein 1, were upregulated during estivation. These data suggest that estivating C. alboguttata are able to regulate the expression of genes in several major cellular pathways critical to the survival and viability of cells, thus preserving muscle function while avoiding the deleterious consequences often seen in laboratory models of muscle disuse.

Abstract:

Land snails, Otala lactea, survive in seasonally hot and dry environments by entering a state of aerobic torpor called estivation. During estivation, snails must prevent excessive dehydration and reorganize metabolic fuel use so as to endure prolonged periods without food. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was hypothesized to play a key role during estivation as it shuttles amino acid carbon skeletons into the Krebs cycle for energy production and is very important to urea biosynthesis (a key molecule used for water retention). Analysis of purified foot muscle GDH from control and estivating conditions revealed that estivated GDH was approximately 3-fold more active in catalyzing glutamate deamination as compared to control. This kinetic difference appears to be regulated by reversible protein phosphorylation, as indicated by ProQ Diamond phosphoprotein staining and incubations that stimulate endogenous protein kinases and phosphatases. The increased activity of the high-phosphate form of GDH seen in the estivating land snail foot muscle correlates well with the increased use of amino acids for energy and increased synthesis of urea for water retention during prolonged estivation.

Abstract:

Pyruvate kinase (PK) from tissues of the desert snail Otala lactea (Müller) undergoes a stable modification of its kinetic properties during estivation or in response to anoxia stress. In foot muscle and mantle, the kinetic changes induced by either state were virtually identical and were consistent with a less active enzyme form in estivation or anoxia: S0.5 PEP increased, and I50 values for Mg-ATP and L-alanine decreased, compared to the enzyme in control (aroused) snails. Estivation and anoxia also changed the properties of PK from hepatopancreas; some changes were consistent with a more active enzyme form (So.5 PEP decreased, I50 values for Mg-ATP and L-alanine increased) but the enzyme lost all sensitivity to the potent activator fructose-l,6-bisphosphate. A time course of changes in I50 Mg-ATP for foot PK and S0.5 PEP for hepatopancreas PK revealed that estivation-induced changes in enzyme properties occurred between 12 and 48 h after snails were deprived of access to food and water, whereas the reversal of these changes occurred within as little as lOmin in foot muscle after arousal was initiated. The molecular basis of the stable modification of PK kinetics appears to be reversible protein phoshorylation. The action of added cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase on foot or hepatopancreas PK from control (aroused) snails changed PK kinetic parameters to those characteristic of the enzyme form in estivating animals; the addition of stimulators of endogenous cyclic-GMPdependent protein kinase or protein kinase C had the same effect. Conversely, treatment with added phosphatases reconverted the properties of foot muscle PK from estivating snails to those characteristic of the control enzyme. The data suggest that reversible phosphorylation control over the activity state of regulatory enzymes of glycolysis is one mechanism contributing to the overall metabolic rate depression of the estivating state.

Abstract:

Cells isolated from the hepatopancreas of estivating snails ( Helix aspersa) have strongly depressed mitochondrial respiration compared with controls. Mitochondrial respiration was divided into substrate oxidation (which produces the mitochondrial membrane potential) and ATP turnover and proton leak (which consume it). The activity of substrate oxidation (and probably ATP turnover) decreased, whereas the activity of proton leak remained constant in estivation. These primary changes resulted in a lower mitochondrial membrane potential in hepatopancreas cells from estivating compared with active snails, leading to secondary decreases in respiration to drive ATP turnover and proton leak. The respiration to drive ATP turnover and proton leak decreased in proportion to the overall decrease in mitochondrial respiration, so that the amount of ATP turned over per O2 consumed remained relatively constant and aerobic efficiency was maintained in this hypometabolic state. At least 75% of the total response of mitochondrial respiration to estivation was caused by primary changes in the kinetics of substrate oxidation, with only 25% or less of the response occurring through primary effects on ATP turnover.

Abstract:

The effects of 24 h of exposure to underwater anoxia and 15 days of estivation (at 2627°C) on the enzymatic antioxidant system of the hepatopancreas of the freshwater snail Biomphalaria tenagophila (Planorbidae) are described. The effect of 24 h of recovery was also investigated. Catalase activity dropped by 31% during 24 h of anoxia, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was reduced by 43% during the 15 days of estivation. This is consistent with the overall decrease in metabolic rate during estivation or anoxia. Indeed, the heartbeat diminished by 2836% during estivation (determination was possible for only 4 days) and by 66% after 24 h of anoxia. On the other hand, selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GPX) activity increased during anoxia (from 10 to 14 mU/mg protein) and estivation (by 14%). Glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase activities remained unchanged during estivation and anoxia. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was unchanged during estivation and recovery. Recovery restored SOD activity. Catalase, Se-GPX, and GST activities during recovery were significantly lower than those of the respective controls. Lipid peroxidation, determined as the level of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, was unchanged in the hepatopancreas after 15 days of estivation and 26 h of recovery from estivation. It is possible that the increase in Se-GPX activity during anoxia and estivation, and the maintenance of GST activity, are relevant in minimizing the effects of reactive oxygen species that can be formed upon resumption of aerobic metabolism. Thus, B. tenagophila may have a biochemical strategy of preparation for oxidative stress such as that observed in several other species of anoxia/hypoxia-tolerant animals.

Abstract:

During arousal from estivation oxygen consumption by land snails (Otala lactea) increases severalfold. To determine whether snails prepared for an accompanying rise in the rates of oxyradical generation by altering their antioxidant defense mechanisms, changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation products were quantified in foot and hepatopancreas of control, 30-day estivating, and aroused snails. Compared with controls, estivating O. lactea showed significant increases in the activities of foot muscle superoxide dismutase (SOD) (increasing by 56-67%), catalase (51-72%), and glutathione S-transferase (79-108%), whereas, in hepatopancreas, SOD (57-78%) and glutathione peroxidase (93-144%) increased. Within 40 min after arousal began, hepatopancreas glutathione peroxidase activity had returned to control values, but SOD showed a further 70% increase in activity but then returned to control levels by 80 min. Estivation had no effect on total glutathione (GSH + 2 GSSG) concentrations in tissues, but GSSG content had increased about twofold in both organs of 30-day dormant snails. Lipid peoxidation (quantified as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) was significantly enhanced at the onset of arousal from dormancy, indicating that oxidative stress and tissue damage occurred at this time. The data suggest that antioxidant defenses in snail organs are increased while snails are in the hypometabolic state as a preparation for oxidative stress during arousal.

Abstract:

The mechanisms controlling glycolytic rate were examined in foot muscle of the terrestrial snail Otala lactea (Miiller) (Pulmonata, Helicidae), during short and long periods of estivation and anoxia. Binding associations between glycolytic enzymes and the particulate fraction of the cell were assessed in both states. The percentage of enzyme activity bound to particulate matter decreased significantly over the short term (4 days estivation and 14.5 h anoxia); significant changes were seen for hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in estivation and, for these enzymes plus triosephosphate isomerase and pyruvate kinase (PK), in anoxia. Over the longer term in estivation (22 days) and anoxia (45 h), enzyme binding returned to control values. Tissue content of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, a potent phosphofructokinase activator, decreased under all experimental conditions. Total glycogen phosphorylase activity decreased during short-term anoxia (14.5 h) and during long-term estivation (22 days), but the percentage of the active a form decreased significantly during anoxia only. Significant changes in the maximal activities of several enzymes were observed during both estivation and anoxia. Decreases inthe maximal activity of HK, PFK, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) and LDH were observed during long-term estivation. Increases in PGK and PK maximal activity in short-term anoxia and aldolase and PGK in long-term anoxia were also observed. These results suggest that changes in glycolytic enzyme binding may be part of an immediate mechanism used to cause a rapid decrease in glycolytic flux and initiate glycolytic rate depression, which also includes a reduction of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate content and decreased glycogen phosphorylase activity. In the long term, however, control of snail glycolytic rate is reorganized, so that enzyme binding associations revert to the control values. In the long term, then, control is mediated by lower fructose- 2,6-bisphosphate concentrations and, during estivation, also by a decrease in maximal enzyme activities.

Abstract:

Abstract During arousal from estivation in land snails. Otala lactea, active metabolic functions are restored within minutes and oxygen consumption increases dramatically. During the transition from the hypoxic conditions of estivation to normoxia it is possible that xanthine oxidase (XO ) in hepatopancreas contributes to the observed lipid peroxidation. Using a fluorometric assay that is based on the oxidation of pterin, the activities and some properties of XO and XO+XDH (sum of XO and xanthine dehydrogenase activities) were measured in hepatopancreas extracts. Km values for pterin for XO and X O +XDH were 9 and 6 μm, respectively, and the Km of XDH for methylene blue was 5 μm . Both XO +XDH and XO activities were inhibited by allopurinol (I50 = 2 μm ) , pre-incubation at 40 °C, and by 5 min H2O2 pre-exposure. Inclusion of azide in the reaction promoted a rise of approximately 70-fold in the inactivation power of H2O2 due to inhibition of high endogenous catalase activity. The /so for H2O2 of XO +XDH and XO activities in the presence of azide was 0.04 and 0.11 mM , respectively. Unlike the situation for mammalian XO. a previous reduction of O. lactea XO (by pterin) was not necessary to make the enzyme susceptible to H2O2 effects. Interestingly, methylene blue partially prevented both heat- and H20 2-induced inactivation of XO +XDH activity. These data indicate that the formation of an enzyme-methylene blue complex induces protection against heat and oxidative damage at the FAD-active site. Both XO and XO +XDH activities were significantly higher in snails after 35 days of estivation compared with active snails 24 h after arousal from dormancy. The ratio of XO /(XO +XDH) activities was also slightly increased in estivating O. lactea (from 0.07 to 0.09; P < 0.025). XO activity was 0.03 nmol · min-1 · mg protein-1 in estivating snails. Compared with hepatopancreas catalase, XO activity is probably too low to contribute significantly to the net generation of oxyradicals, and hence to peroxidative damage. Rather, the low potential of XO to induce oxidative stress may constitute an adaptive advantage for O. lactea during arousal periods

Abstract:

A estivação é caracterizada como um conjunto de alterações fisiológicas e comportamentais relacionadas com a redução do metabolismo e a permanência em micro-habitats específicos durante a fase de estiagem. Na caatinga brasileira foram observadas ao menos três espécies que estivam, sendo duas da família Leiuperidae, Pleurodema diplolistris e Physalaemus albifrons e uma da família Cycloramphidae, Proceratophrys cristiceps. Ainda que encontradas no mesmo micro-habitat durante a estivação, estas três espécies exibiram padrões distintos de alteração do desempenho locomotor entre as duas estações marcantes do ano (seca e chuvosa). Enquanto P. diplolistris reduziu em cerca de 47% a velocidade de seu desempenho locomotor durante a fase de estiagem, as outras duas espécies, P. cristiceps e P. albifrons, reduziram cerca de 87 e 83%, respectivamente. Mais ainda, apenas P. diplolistris exibiu mudança de profundidade ao longo da estiagem. A redução da taxa metabólica aeróbia foi de aproximadamente 50% para as três espécies. A comparação entre as estações marcantes do ano ainda revelou que as três espécies estudadas apresentam diferentes padrões de alteração na concentração de substrato energéticos e na atividade de enzimas representativas do metabolismo energético no fígado e musculatura dos membros posteriores. A manutenção hídrica também foi diferente entre as três espécies, o que indica a ocorrência de estratégias diversas de regulação hídrica
Estivation is defined as a set of physiological and behavioral changes associated to decreased metabolism and permanence in specific microhabitats during the dry season. In the Brazilian Caatinga was observed at least three estivating species: Pleurodema diplolistris and Physalaemus albifrons (Leiuperidae) and Proceratophrys cristiceps (Cycloramphidae). Although found in the same micro-habitat during aestivation, these three species differ in the variation patterns of locomotor performance when compared between the two seasons (dry and rainy season). During the dry phase, speed in P. diplolistris is reduced by about 47% whereas in P. cristiceps and P. albifrons values decrease by 87% and 83%, respectively. Moreover, only P. diplolistris exhibited changes of depth along the drought. The reduction of aerobic metabolic rate was of approximately 50% for the three species. The comparison between seasons also revealed that the three species differ in relation to the variation patterns of the concentration of substrate energy and activity of representative enzymes of energy metabolism in the liver and muscles of the hindlimb. The water maintenance was also different among the three species, indicating the occurrence of several strategies of hidric regulation

Abstract:

The desert-adapted frogs Cyclorana platycephala and Cyclorana maini survive long periods of inhospitably hot and dry conditions by retreating underground and aestivating. While aestivating they suspend food and water intake as well as physical activity, depress their metabolic rate by ~80 %, and form cocoons that protect them against desiccation. How these frogs function during this exceptional state is largely unknown. This work characterized a number of physiological parameters in three metabolic states spanning their natural metabolic range: during aestivation (depressed metabolism), at rest (normal metabolism), and where possible, during exercise (elevated metabolism). The primary objective was to identify by comparison, physiological adjustments in these parameters to metabolic depression, as well as the scope of these parameters in frogs capable of aestivation. The parameters measured for C. maini were (a) the glucose transport kinetics and (b) the fluid balance of an extensive number of their individual organs. For C. platycephala, the parameters measured were (a) the activity of the cardiovascular system as indicated by heart rate and blood pressure and (b) the roles of pulmonary and cutaneous respiratory systems in gas exchange

Dans les savanes d'Afrique de l'Ouest, les moustiques Anopheles coluzzii et An. gambiae, qui transmettent le paludisme, pullulent en saison des pluies et disparaissent en saison sèche. Les mécanismes permettant le maintien des populations d'Anophèles d'une année sur l'autre restent inconnus et difficiles à mettre en évidence sur le terrain. Au cours de ce travail, nous avons étudié, par des approches comparatives et expérimentales, la plasticité physiologique et morphologique des femelles An. coluzzii et An. gambiae exprimée en réponse aux conditions déshydratantes de la saison sèche. Des analyses métabolomiques, protéomiques, morphométriques et respirométriques, nous ont permis de mettre en évidence une grande variabilité des profils exprimés entre les espèces et entre les différentes populations d'An. coluzzii
In dry savannahs of West Africa, the malarial mosquitoes Anopheles coluzzii and An. gambiae swarm during the rainy season but almost disappear at the onset of the dry season. Interestingly, the ecological and physiological bases enhancing the survival of these insects during the desiccating conditions of the dry season remain unknown, and hard to understand with field studies. In the present work, we conducted experimental and comparative studies to analyse the physiological and morphological plasticity of female An. coluzzii and An. gambiae mosquitoes in response to the environmental conditions of the dry season. Metabolomic, proteomic, morphometric and gas exchange analyses highlighted a wide range of responses to the dry season conditions in these species, and enables distinguishing the two considered species

Abstract:

L'acquisition et l'allocation de ressources sont des tâches fondamentales chez tous les animaux. Les organismes rencontrent souvent de l'hétérogénéité dans l'espace et dans le temps et devront adapter leur traits d'histoire de vie, décrits comme un ensemble héritable de règles qui déterminent l'allocation vers la croissance ou la mise en réserve pour la survie versus la reproduction. Chez Cornu aspersum, la stratégie de reproduction dépend des contraintes saisonnières et l'investissement dans la reproduction est influencé par l'énergie disponible dans l'environnement. Des nutriments présents dans l'alimentation, notamment des lipides, sont déposés dans les oeufs, et une source mixte de calcium a pour effet que la coque des oeufs est plus épaisse. Ceci pourrait augmenter la probabilité de survie des juvéniles. Des bactéries présentes dans l'alimentation et dans la terre pourraient être responsables d'une diminution de la capacité de surfusion, et elles pourraient persister dans l'intestin pendant l'hibernation. Chez Helix pomatia, qui est utilisé dans des élevages biologiques afin de maintenir cette espèce menacée comme spécialité régionale sous le nom Albschneck®, le succès reproducteur est faible même avec une alimentation riche en énergie, comparativement à une population en provenance d'un élevage intensif Italien. Helix pomatia préserve une riche communauté bactérienne dans l'intestin qui pourrait contenir des bactéries nucléantes, mais accumule aussi des cryoprotecteurs, comme des acides aminés, des triglycérides et du glycérol, pour améliorer la résistance au froid pendant l'hiver. Toutefois, la mortalité pourrait être liée à un ajustement perpétuel des processus physiologiques aux variations importantes de la température et aux situations climatiques extrêmes ainsi qu'à une allocation limitée vers des processus de survie. Des mesures de protection devront donc inclure la préservation de refuges dans l'habitat naturel et artificiel.
