Résumé

Gonads are the only edible part of the sea urchin and have great potential as a health-promoting food for human consumption. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important necessary nutrients that determine not only the nutritional value of sea urchins but guarantee their normal growth and reproduction. However, the information on the molecular mechanisms of PUFA biosynthesis and metabolism in this species remains elusive. In this study, we used Strongylocentrotus intermedius as our model species and conducted integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of potentially critical genes involved in PUFA biosynthesis and metabolism during gonad growth and development, mainly focusing on eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). We found six differentially accumulated metabolites associated with PUFA in the metabolomic analysis. More differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were related to PUFA in testis than ovary (1823 DEGs in testis and 1499 DEGs in ovary). We verified 12 DEGs by RNA-Seq results and found that Aldh7a1, Ecm3, Fads2, and Hsd17b12 genes had similar expression patterns in EPA concentration during gonad growth and development. In contrast, the other DEGs were downregulated and we inferred that EPA or PUFA may be metabolized as energy during certain periods. Our metabolic and genetic data will facilitate a better understanding of PUFA regulation networks during gonad growth and development in S. intermedius.
