Aims This study assessed how the etiological agent of mouth rot in farmed Atlantic salmon, Tenacibaculum maritimum , induces toxicity in host salmonid barrier cells, and determined whether environmental changes are relevant for these effects. Methods and results Tenacibaculum maritimum soluble extracellular products (ECPs) were collected and used to treat Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout intestinal barrier cell lines as a comparative model of bacterial–salmonid cell interactions. Cellular assays that examine cell membrane integrity, marker expression, and metabolic activity revealed that T. maritimum ECPs induced salmonid epithelial cell death through an apoptosis mechanism. Changes in salinity (25, 29, and 33 ppt) and temperature (12°C, 18°C, and 24°C) within the natural ranges observed in Pacific Northwest aquaculture facilities affected bacterial growth and cytotoxicity of T. maritimum ECPs. Conclusions Our results suggest epithelial barriers as targets of T. maritimum -mediated toxicity in farmed mouth rot-infected Atlantic salmon. The induction of apoptosis by T. maritimum soluble ECPs may also help to explain the absence of overt inflammation typically reported for these fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
