Abstract:
As an important feeding organ and taxonomical characteristic, the pharyngeal teeth of cyprinid fish have very high morphological diversity and exhibit species-specific numbers and arrangements. Many genes have been verified to regulate the pharyngeal teeth development and act as the initiation marker for teeth. Six initiation marker genes for pharyngeal teeth were used as RNA probes to investigate the expression pattern, and these genes were further used to construct a phylogenetic tree for cyprinid fish including some distant hybrids. The results from in situ hybridization showed that similarities and differences existed in the expression of dlx2b , dlx4b , dlx5a , pitx2, fth1b , and scpp5 in the pharyngeal region of the hybrids (BT) by the crosses of blunt snout bream (BSB, ♀) × topmouth culter (TC, ♂). Particularly, we found a high specificity marker gene scpp5 for the early development of pharyngeal teeth. The Scpp5 expression pattern established a clear graphic representation on the spatiotemporal characteristics of the early morphogenesis of pharyngeal teeth in BT and BSB. Our results suggested that the s cpp5 expression in 4V 1 , 3V 1 , and 5V 1 in BT occurred earlier than that in BSB, while the replacement rate of pharyngeal teeth (4V 2 , 3V 2 , and 5V 2 ) was faster in BSB. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the six marker genes were highly conserved and could be used as the molecular marker for identifying the parents of the distant hybrids in cyprinid fish. The expression patterns of the scpp5 gene was examined in various tissues, including the brain, gill, heart, liver, muscle, skin, fins, gonad, eye, and kidney, showing that the scpp5 gene was ubiquitously expressed, indicating its important role in cyprinid fish.
