摘要： Introduction Largemouth bass is an economically important farmed freshwater fish species that has delicious meat, no intermuscular thorns, and rapid growth rates. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying the different growth and developmental stages of this fish have not been reported.Methods In this study, we performed histological and transcriptomic analyses on the brain and dorsal muscles of largemouth bass at different growth periods. The brain and muscle tissue were dehydrated, embedded, sliced and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Images were captured under a microscope and acquired using a microphotographic system. Differential expression between groups was analyzed using DESeq2. GO functional analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were then performed for differentially expressed genes. RT-qPCR validates the reliability of transcriptome sequencing data.Result Smaller fish had more new muscle fiber numbers and wider intermuscular spaces compared to big specimens. Axons and nerve fibers were more pronounced in the telencephalons of big fish than in small fish. A total of 19,225 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the muscle tissue, among which 7,724 were upregulated and 11,501 were downregulated, while a total of 5,373 DEGs were detected in the brain, among which 2,923 were upregulated and 2,450 were downregulated. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that nucleic acid binding, cytoskeletal motor activity, DNA binding, circadian rhythm, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and osteoclast differentiation were related to brain development while binding, cytoskeletal protein binding, biological processes, c-type lectin receptors, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, and osteoclast differentiation were related to muscle growth. Stat3, pparg, akt1, mapk3, and mapk1 genes were mainly involved in the growth and development of largemouth bass.Conclusion These results provide novel perspectives for deepening our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the growth and development and performing genetic selection in largemouth bass.
