摘要： Acipenser dabryanus is a species endemic to Yangtze River drainage in China and is listed as a critical endangered species on the IUCN Red List. In the present study, the liver and spleen transcriptomes were analyzed by comparing the data of A. dabryanus that experienced nine different feeding rhythms (once a day diurnal, T1; two times a day diurnal, T2; three times a day diurnal, T3; four times a day, T4; five times a day, T5; six times a day, T6; once a day nocturnal, Tn1; two times a day nocturnal, Tn2; and three times a day nocturnal, Tn3). Transcriptome sequencing generated 1,901,236,482 clean reads, encompassing 570.4 Gb of sequence data. The reads were assembled into 287,372 unigenes with an average length of 803 bp and an N50 of 1004 bp. KEGG analysis showed that 1,080, 1,030, and 1216 unigenes were annotated to lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism, respectively, and 2549 unigenes were annotated to the immune system category. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different feeding frequency groups or between nighttime and daytime feeding were obtained and functionally enriched. Importantly, DEGs participating in nutrition metabolism and various immunoregulation pathways and their expression profiles in A. dabryanus were discussed. Interestingly, the majority of key genes related to lipid metabolism or in immunodependent gene families, such as antimicrobial peptides, Toll-like receptors, chemokines, NOD-like receptors, B cell receptors and the major histocompatibility complex, were all significantly upregulated in animals in the T6 group compared to the characteristics of animals in the T2 group that had a normal feeding frequency. In addition, light/dark rhythm also affected the immunity of A. dabryanus, and fish fed at night possessed an improved immune response than fish fed at daytime. Our study suggested that feeding six times a day is optimal for A. dabryanus juvenile growth as it enhances the organism's nutrition metabolism and immune function.
