Abstract

In the present study we used a shotgun proteomic approach to identify 54 proteins of rainbow trout ovarian fluid. The study has unravelled the identity of several proteins not previously reported in fish ovarian fluid. The proteome of trout ovarian fluid consists of diverse proteins participating in lipid binding and metabolism, carbohydrate and ion transport, innate immunity, maturation and ovulation processes. Most trout ovarian fluid proteins correspond to follicular fluid proteins of higher vertebrates, but 15% of the proteins were found to be different, such as those related to the immune system (precerebellin-like protein), proteolysis (myeloid cell lineage chitinase), carbohydrate and lipid binding and metabolism (vitellogenins), cell structure and shape (vitelline envelope protein gamma) and a protein with unknown functions (UPF0762 protein C6orf58 homologue). The present study could help in the decoding of the biological function of these proteins and in the discovery of potential biomarkers of oocyte quality.

Additional keywords: immunity, mass spectrometry, ovarian fluid, rainbow trout, shotgun proteomics.
