Acipenser gueldenstaedtii is one of the most cultured sturgeon species worldwide and of considerable economic value for caviar production. There are though considerable challenges around chronic stress responses due to increased summer temperatures, impacting sturgeons’ immune responses and their susceptibility to opportunistic infections. The identification of molecular and cellular pathways involved in stress responses may contribute to identifying novel biomarkers reflective of fish health status, crucial for successful sturgeon aquaculture. Protein citrullination is a calcium-catalysed post-translational modification caused by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), altering target protein function and affecting protein interactions in physiological and pathobiological processes. PADs can also modulate extracellular vesicle (EVs) profiles, which play critical roles in cellular communication, via transport of their cargoes (proteins, including post-translationally modified proteins, genetic material and micro-RNAs). This study identified differences in EV signatures, and citrullinated proteins in sera from winter and summer farmed sturegeons. EVs were significantly elevated in sera of the summer chronically stressed group. The citrullinated proteins and associated gene ontology (GO) pathways in sera and serum-EVs of chronically heat stressed A. gueldenstaedtii, showed some changes, with specific citrullinated serum protein targets including alpa- 2-macroglobulin, alpha globin, calcium-dependent secretion activator, ceruloplasmin, chemokine XC receptor, complement C3 isoforms, complement C9, plectin, selenoprotein and vitellogenin. In serum-EVs, citrullinated protein cargoes identified only in the chronically stressed summer group included alpha-1-antiproteinase, apolipoprotein B-100, microtubule actin crosslinking factor and histone H3. Biological gene ontology (GO) pathways related to citrullinated serum proteins in the chronically stressed group were associated with innate and adaptive immune responses, stress responses and metabolic processes. In serum-EVs of the heat-stressed group the citrullinome associated with various metabolic GO pathways. In addition to modified citrullinated protein content, Serum-EVs from the stressed summer group showed significantly increased levels of the inflammatory associated miR-155 and the hypoxia-associated miR-210, but significantly reduced levels of the growth-associated miR-206. Our findings highlight roles for protein citrullination and EV signatures in response to chronic heat stress in A. gueldenstaedtii, indicating a trade-off in immunity versus growth and may be of value for sturgeon aquaculture.
