Gilthead seabream mucus glycosylation is complex, differs between epithelial sites and carries unusual poly N-acetylhexosamine motifs

Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) is a marine finfish of economic importance in aquaculture. Despite its adaptability to varying culture conditions, gilthead seabream culture can be affected by viral, bacterial or parasitic diseases. The main route of entry of pathogens is through mucosal surfaces....

Despite its adaptability to varying culture conditions, gilthead seabream culture can be affected by viral, bacterial or parasitic diseases. The main route of entry of pathogens is through mucosal surfaces. Teleost external and internal surfaces are covered by mucus, mainly comprised of highly glycosylated proteins called mucins. The mucin glycans regulate pathogen growth, adhesion, virulence and inter and intra species communication. Here, we characterized the gilthead seabream mucus glycosylation, compared it to previously described species and investigated associations with microbiota. 214 glycans were identified. The majority of the glycans were found at more than one epithelial surface, but 27, 22 and 89 O-glycan structures were unique to skin, gill and intestinal sample groups, respectively. Six O-glycan core types were observed. The majority of the seabream skin and gill O-glycans were neutral with unusual poly HexNAc motifs. In contrast, seabream intestinal O-glycans were highly acidic and not of the ‘poly HexNAc’ type observed in skin and gill. Furthermore, gilthead seabream gill mucosa had less oligomannose and more complex N-glycans compared to skin and intestine. The concentration and diversity of bacteria was similar in skin, gill and intestine, but the bacterial species differed between epithelia and co-varied with glycan epitopes. The presence of a complex mucus glycosylation with plenty of glycan epitopes for bacterial foraging, suggest that the skin mucosal defense in seabream includes an abundant resident microbiota. This large library of structures provides a platform for further studies, for example aiming to identifying glycans to use for diagnostic purposes, to study host-microbe interactions or disease intervention therapies.The work was supported by the project MucosalFrontier (PID2020-115070RA-I00) funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, the Swedish Research Council Formas (2018–01419), the Carl Tryggers (23–02971), Engkvists and Wilhelm and Martina Lundgrens Foundations.Peer reviewedElsevierMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Swedish Research CouncilCarl Trygger FoundationOlle Engkvist FoundationConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202420242024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/373364reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
