description | Eriocheir sinensis is traditionally a native high-value crab that is widely distributed in eastern Asia, and the precocity is considered the bottleneck problem affecting the development of the industry. The precocious E. sinensis is defined as a crab that reaches complete sexual maturation during the first year of its lifespan rather than as normally in the second year. However, the exact regulatory mechanisms underlying the precocity are still unclear to date. This study is the first to explore the mechanism of precocity with transcriptome-metabolome association analysis between the precocious and normal sexually mature E. sinensis. Our results indicated that the phenylalanine metabolism (map00360) and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction (map04080) pathways play an important role in the precocity in the ovary of E. sinensis. In map00360, the predicted aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase isoform X1 genes and the phenethylamine, phenylethyl alcohol, trans-2-hydroxycinnamate, and L-tyrosine metabolites were all down-regulated in the ovary of the precocious E. sinensis. The map04080 was the common KEGG pathway in the ovary and hepatopancreas between the precocious and normal crab. In the ovary, the predicted growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 gene was up-regulated, and the L-glutamate metabolite was down-regulated in the precocious E. sinensis. In the hepatopancreas, the predicted forkhead box protein I2 gene and taurine metabolite were up-regulated and the the L-glutamate metabolite was down-regulated in the precocious crab. There was no common pathway in the testis. Numerous common pathways in the hepatopancreas between male precocious and normal crab were identified. The specific amino acids, fatty acids and flavorful nucleotide (inosine monophosphate (MP), cytidine MP, adenosine MP, uridine MP, and guanosine MP) contents in the hepatopancreas and gonads further confirmed the above omics results. Our results suggest that the phenylalanine metabolism may affect the ovarian development by changing the contents of the neurotransmitter and tyrosine. The neuroactive ligand–receptor interaction pathway may affect the growth by changing the expressions of related genes and affect the umami taste of the gonads and hepatopancreas through the differences of L-glutamate metabolite in the precocious E. sinensis. The results provided valuable and novel insights on the precocious mechanism and may have a significant impact on the development of the E. sinensis aquaculture industry. |
