Description:In salmonids, exposure to elevated temperature impairs oogenesis. 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 in broodstock. In this study, follicle stimulating hormone (Fsh) and/or insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) treatment were assessed for their ability to promote reproductive function at 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-lyase and p450 aromatase a (cyp19a1a), and connexin 34.3 (cx34.3). While combined treatment with Fsh and Igf1 stimulated the expression of cyp19a1a at 14 °C, this treatment was not effective at 22 °C. Upregulation of cx34.3 occurred in response to treatments that contained Igf1 regardless 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 study demonstrates the thermal impairment of key reproductive genes, and highlights the potential for novel hormone treatments to rescue oogenesis in salmonids.
