    Abstract:
    Rainbow trout are typical cold-water fish species. However, with the intensification of global warming, high temperatures have severely restricted the development of aquaculture during the summer. Understanding the molecular regulatory mechanisms of rainbow trout responses to heat stress will be beneficial for alleviating heat stress-related damage. In this study, we performed RNA-seq of liver tissues from rainbow trout under heat stress (24 °C) and control conditions (18 °C) to identify lncRNAs and target genes by strand-specific library. Changes in nonspecific immune parameters revealed that a strong stress response occurred in rainbow trout at 24 °C. More than 658 million filtered reads and 5916 lncRNAs were identified from six libraries. A total of 927 novel lncRNAs were identified, and 428 differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened with stringent thresholds. The RNA-seq results were verified by RT-qPCR. In addition, a regulatory network of lncRNA-mRNA functional interactions was constructed, and the potential antisense, cis and trans targets of lncRNAs were predicted. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that many target genes involved in maintenance of homeostasis or adaptation to stress and stimuli were highly induced under heat stress. Several regulatory pathways were also found to be involved in heat stress, including the thyroid hormone signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and the estrogen signaling pathway, among others. These results broaden our understanding of lncRNAs associated with heat stress and provide new insights into the lncRNA mediated regulation of the rainbow trout heat stress response.
