摘要: Abstract We explored molecular and morphological alteration in gill mitochondria-rich (MR) cells of Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus , acclimated to deionized freshwater (DFW), (FW), 1/3-diluted seawater (1/3 SW) (SW). Scanning electron microscopic observations revealed that the apical membrane MR appeared as a flat or slightly projecting disk DFW FW, being larger than FW. In contrast, typically formed pit structure 1/3 SW SW. The mRNA expression levels Na + /H exchanger-3 (NHE3) /Cl − cotransporter (NCC) gills were increased with decreasing environmental salinity, whereas /K /2Cl cotransporter-1a (NKCC1a) was upregulated by increasing salinity. Immunofluorescence staining showed cell population DFW- FW-acclimated tilapia consisted mostly NHE3 those apical-NCC; basolateral NKCC1a dominated SW-acclimated tilapia. These results indicated apical-NHE3 apical-NCC ion-absorbing cells, basolateral-NKCC1a ion-secreting cells. fish SW, both secreting existed gills, suggesting near-isotonic water equipped mechanisms hyper- hypoosmoregulation prepare for salinity changes.
