The role of kisspeptin in puberty onset has been extensively investigated by neuroendocrinologists in the past decade. In the present study, we first cloned and analyzed Pokiss2 and Pokissr2 genes in Paralichthys olivaceus, a Pleuronectiformes fish. By 5'/3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), the P. olivaceus kiss2 gene (Pokiss2) and two isoforms of the P. olivaceus kissr2 gene (Pokissr2) transcripts were cloned. During development, Pokissr2 was maternally inherited but Pokiss2 was not, and their expression reached maximum and minimum levels, respectively, when the gonads began to develop. Analysis of tissue distribution revealed that Pokiss2 and Pokissr2 transcripts were predominantly expressed in the brain and gonads, with expression levels in females higher than those in males. Moreover, Pokiss2 and Pokissr2 both showed significantly higher expression in brains and gonads during puberty. In situ hybridization of the ovary at pre-vitellogenesis stage and testis at spermatogonial proliferation stage revealed that both Pokiss2 and Pokissr2 were expressed in spermatocyte, oocytes, and some somatic cells. Our results also showed significantly stronger Pokiss2 expression in the area of the third ventricle of females than males and no Pokissr2 expression in this region in both sexes. These results lay a strong foundation for understanding the role of kisspeptin in neuroendocrine system in teleosts, in particular in Pleuronectiformes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.

D005432 Flounder Common name for two families of FLATFISHES belonging to the order Pleuronectiformes: left-eye flounders (Bothidae) and right-eye flounders (Pleuronectidae). The latter is more commonly used in research. Plaice,Platichthys,Pleuronectes,Pseudopleuronectes,Halibut,Pleuronectes platessa,Flounders
D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.
