Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fish breeding technology, specifically relating to a method for constructing all-male fish without gene editing based on kdm6bb gene knockdown technology. Background Technology
[0002] The diversity of sex determination mechanisms presents a significant paradox in the developmental biology of lower vertebrates. Sex control through artificial intervention in the sex development process allows for the creation of offspring with desired sex characteristics. Animal sex control plays a crucial role in improving yield and quality, and enhancing disease and stress resistance. Unlike mammals, which rely on the chromosome sex determination system (CSD), fish sex determination exhibits high plasticity, influenced by numerous exogenous factors such as temperature and hormones. Among many aquaculture species, numerous animals display significant sexual dimorphism, meaning one sex exhibits significantly superior growth performance compared to the other. For example, male tilapia grow significantly faster than females, and monosex farming can yield substantial economic benefits.
[0003] Sex reversal induced by interfering with sex hormones is the most common method for producing single-sex populations. For example, patent document CN110583539B discloses a method for producing high-fertility YY-transformed female Nile tilapia, and CN117016488A discloses an inducer, induction method and application for sex reversal of XY-type male largemouth bass into XY-type pseudo-females. Both methods induce sex reversal in fish through hormone regulation, thereby obtaining single-sex aquaculture populations. However, the application of the above methods also produces many adverse effects, such as hormone pollution, fish residues, unstable sex development of parent fish induced by hormone-related substances, and inability to produce on a large scale continuously. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop sex control breeding methods such as sex reversal and single-sex population construction based on endogenous gene editing. CN113789352B discloses a method and application for sex control breeding of fish with XX / XY sex genetic determination, including: (1) obtaining homozygous cyp17a1 fish through gene editing; (2) screening XX genotype cyp17a1. - / - Homozygous fish, exhibiting physiological male characteristics, are denoted as pseudo-male fish; (3) The genotype cyp17a1 + / + Wild-type females of XX with genotype cyp17a1 - / - XX pseudo-male fish underwent artificial spawning and insemination, resulting in all individuals with the genotype cyp17a1. + / -The method of creating an all-female population of XX fish enables sex-controlled breeding and the aquaculture of monosex populations. However, the monosex populations obtained by this method are all gene-edited offspring, which cannot yet be widely adopted for aquaculture and breeding applications. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method to knock down a key sex-inducing gene, thereby achieving sex reversal in fish and the construction of monosex populations to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing all-male fish without gene editing based on kdm6bb gene knockdown technology. This method uses gene editing technology to obtain heterozygous fish with histone demethylase kdm6bb edited, reducing kdm6bb protein levels, decreasing kdm6bb nuclear translocation, and inhibiting the expression of male development genes, thereby obtaining the kdm6bb genotype. + / - The pseudo-female fish of genotype XY were then bred with wild-type male fish to select those with the genotype kdm6bb. + / + YY's super-male fish; then the super-male fish are hybridized with wild-type XX female fish to obtain all-male offspring without gene editing, thus realizing sex-controlled breeding and monosex group farming of fish.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] This invention provides a method for constructing gene-edit-free all-male fish based on kdm6bb knockdown technology, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1: Obtain the kdm6bb genotype by knocking down the fish kdm6bb gene or reducing the expression level of the fish kdm6bb protein. + / - kdm6bb heterozygote;
[0008] S2: The genotype is kdm6bb + / - Kdm6bb heterozygous fish were self-crossed, and genotyping yielded Kdm6bb heterozygous fish with a genetic sex of XY, exhibiting female physiological sex, and marked with the genotype kdm6bb. + / - The pseudo-female fish of XY;
[0009] S3: The genotype is kdm6bb + / - The pseudo-female fish of XY and the genotype kdm6bb + / + Wild-type male fish of XY were mated, and the resulting specimens were selected with the genotype kdm6bb. + / + YY's super male fish;
[0010] S4: The genotype is kdm6bb + / + YY's supermale fish and the genotype kdm6bb + / + When wild-type females of XX are mated, the resulting F3 generation has the genotype kdm6bb.+ / + All-male populations of XY.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, in step S1, the fish kdm6bb gene is knocked down using gene editing technology, including: using the CRISPR / Cas9 system to specifically cut the fish kdm6bb gene to achieve knockdown of the fish kdm6bb gene, obtaining kdm6bb heterozygous fish, blocking the fish histone demethylation reaction, and inhibiting the expression of male development genes.
[0012] Preferably, in step S1, double-stranded small RNA interference technology is used to reduce the expression level of kdm6bb protein in fish to obtain genetically reversed XY sex reversal fish.
[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the genotype is kdm6bb. + / + The selection method for YY's supermale fish includes: the genotype is kdm6bb + / - The pseudo-female fish of XY and the genotype kdm6bb + / + Wild-type male XY fish were mated, and through genotyping, a supermale kdm6bb fish with no gene editing and genetic sex YY was obtained.
[0014] Preferably, in step S4, the genotype is kdm6bb. + / + The screening method for the all-male population of XY includes: the genotype being kdm6bb + / + YY's supermale fish and the genotype kdm6bb + / + Wild-type females of XX were mated, and an all-male population of kdm6bb with no gene mutations and XY genetic sex was obtained through genotyping.
[0015] Preferably, the pseudo-female fish is a female fish with a genetic sex of XY, a physiological sex of female, and a normal ovarian structure and mature egg development, whose offspring's genetic sex (XX, XY, and YY) is identified by sex molecular markers.
[0016] Preferably, the super-male fish is a male fish with a genetic sex of YY, a physiological sex of male, and a normal testis structure and mature spermatogenesis. The genetic sex of its offspring (XX, XY, and YY) is identified by sex molecular markers.
[0017] Preferably, the fish species are male heterogamous (XX / XY sex-determined) aquatic economically farmed fish.
[0018] More preferably, the fish is Nile tilapia.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This invention provides a method for constructing gene-edit-free all-male fish based on kdm6bb knockdown technology. The method involves knocking out the key gene kdm6bb for sex development in fish using gene editing technology, obtaining heterozygous fish. This effectively reduces the expression level of kdm6bb protein, decreases kdm6bb entry into the cell nucleus, and inhibits the expression of male development genes, thereby achieving sex reversal in fish. When a genetically XY heterozygous pseudo-female fish is mated with a wild-type XY male fish, because the kdm6bb gene is not located on the Y chromosome, the kdm6bb gene can freely combine with the Y chromosome during gamete formation in the XY pseudo-female and wild-type XY male fish, forming a kdm6bb-free YY supermale fish. This supermale fish is then crossbred with a wild-type female fish (kdm6bb...). + / + Crossbreeding (XX) can yield a 100% male population (kdm6bb) + / + XY), thereby achieving the effects of gender control and single-sex group breeding.
[0021] 2. This invention applies gene editing technology to knock down sex-inducing genes in fish to obtain sex-reversed fish. By hybridizing sex-reversed fish with wild-type male fish, super-male fish without gene editing are obtained. These super-male fish are then hybridized with wild-type female fish to obtain an all-male monosex population, which significantly improves the yield and quality of farmed fish. This method uses gene knockout technology to obtain monosex aquaculture populations without gene mutations and is suitable for aquaculture promotion and breeding applications.
[0022] 3. This invention achieves sex control by endogenously interfering with the expression of sex-inducing genes, offering advantages such as the ability to continuously obtain pseudo-female and super-male parent fish on a large scale, simple operation, and the capacity for large-scale continuous production. It does not involve the induction of exogenous hormones, effectively avoiding the technical problems of hormone pollution, residues, and unstable sex development in parent fish induced by hormone-related substances, which prevent large-scale continuous production, inherent in traditional fish sex control breeding methods. Furthermore, the method provided by this invention has strong applicability, broad adaptability and scalability in aquaculture economic fish, greatly expanding its application scope in the field of sex control breeding for aquaculture economic fish.
