摘要： Ambient temperature is an important abiotic factor that influences growth performance and physiological functions in sea cucumbers. To understand the molecular responses of the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota to acute temperature stress, we performed a de novo transcriptome analysis of body wall tissue from H. leucospilota exposed to 2 hoursh of acute heat (35 +/- 1 degrees C) and cold stress (15 +/- 1 degrees C). A total of 99,015 unigenes were obtained after assembly of the sequenced reads. Compared with a control group maintained at 25.0 +/- 1 degrees C, 1169 differentially expressed unigenes (DEGs) were identified after heat stress, 781 were up-regulated and 388 were down-regulated. After cold stress, 1464 DEGs were identified; 900 were up-regulated and 564 were downregulated. The annotation of DEGs revealed that heat shock proteins play important roles in protecting H. leucospilota from high temperature stress. Furthermore, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the categories: "Ribosome" and "Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum" were strongly affected by heat stress. These two pathways are associated with biosynthesis and processing of proteins, and refolding of misfolded proteins. The lipid metabolism pathways "Sphingolipid metabolism" and "Ether lipid metabolism", were affected by cold stress. The RNA-Seq results for eight selected DEGs were verified the expression by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Our results will improve the understanding of the molecular response mechanisms of H. leucospilota to ambient temperature stress.
