Establishment of cell lines from a tropical grouper, Epinephelus awoara (Temminck & Schlegel), and their susceptibility to grouper irido‐ and nodaviruses - Y‐S Lai; J A C John; C‐H Lin; I‐C Guo; S‐C Chen; K Fang; C‐H Lin; C‐Y Chang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2003)
Four tropical marine fish cell lines have been established from the eye, fin, heart and swim bladder of grouper, Epinephelus awoara (Temminck & Schlegel). Optimum media and temperature conditions for maximum growth were standardized. The eye and swim bladder cells were mostly epithelial, but the fin and heart cells were mostly fibroblastic. The viability of cells was 95% after 1 year of storage in liquid nitrogen (−196 °C). Besides these four cell lines, previously established grouper brain, kidney and liver cell lines were also used for a viral susceptibility study which showed that all the cell lines were sensitive to grouper iridovirus, whereas only brain, fin and liver cell lines were susceptible to the yellow grouper nervous necrosis virus (a nodavirus). Electron microscopy studies of the grouper irido‐ and nodaviruses in ultrathin sections of infected cells showed an abundance of viral particles in the cytoplasm of the virus‐infected cells indicating the effective replication of these two viruses. It is suggested that these cell lines can be used for the isolation of putative fish specific viruses and provide a valuable tool to study the mechanisms of host–pathogen interactions. Furthermore, these cell lines upon transfection, using pEGFP‐C1 and pEGFP‐aMT 2.5 (ayu metallothionein promoter), produced significant fluorescent signals indicating their utility for exogenous studies.

Propagation of yellow grouper nervous necrosis virus (YGNNV) in a new nodavirus‐susceptible cell line from yellow grouper, Epinephelus awoara (Temminck & Schlegel), brain tissue - Y‐S Lai; S Murali; H‐C Chiu; H‐Y Ju; Y‐S Lin; S‐C Chen; I‐C Guo; K Fang; C‐Y Chang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2001)
A nodavirus was isolated from diseased yellow grouper, Epinephelus awoara , larvae cultured in southern Taiwan. The histopathology and RT–PCR results confirmed that it was a fish nodavirus; its coat protein gene sequence was similar to that of red spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) and it is named yellow grouper nervous necrosis virus (YGNNV). A new nodavirus‐susceptible cell line, grouper brain (GB) was established and characterized from the brain tissue of yellow grouper. The GB cells multiplied well in Leibovitz’s L‐15 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum at temperatures between 24 and 32 °C, and have been subcultured more than 80 times, becoming a continuous cell line. The GB cell line consists of fibroblast‐like cells and some epithelioid cells. The cell line yielded titres of YGNNV up to 10 8.5 TCID 50 mL –1 . The GB cells effectively replicated the virus at 28 °C, which could be purified to homogeneity by caesium chloride gradient centrifugation. Electron microscopy studies showed that purified virus particles were 25–30 nm in diameter. The cytoplasm of infected cells was filled with aggregates of virus particles. These results indicate that the GB cell line is a significant tool for the study of fish nodaviruses.

Stimulation of testicular function by exogenous testosterone in male protandrous black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegeli - E.‐L. Lau; B.‐Y. Lin; F.‐Y. Lee; L.‐T. Sun; S. Dufour; C.‐F. Chang (Journal of Fish Biology, 1997)
When 4 mg of testosterone (T) per kg food was given to 1‐year‐old protandrous male black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegeli for 7 months, gonadosomatic index was significantly higher than when the dose was 0.5 mg kg −1 food. Both doses of T prolonged the spawning season, and increased the number of spermiating fish and milt volume. Sperm concentrations were similar in spermiating black porgy from the treated and control groups. Low levels of oestradiol‐17β were observed during the experimental period while elevated levels of plasma T were observed only in March in both control and T‐treated groups. Significantly higher levels of plasma 11‐ketotestosterone (11‐KT) were observed in the 0.5‐ and 4.0‐mg T‐treated groups during the spawning season as compared to the control group. The present data suggest that both 0.5‐ and 4·0‐mg T doses stimulate testicular weight, increase numbers of spermiating males and milt volume without affecting the sperm concentrations. Plasma 11‐KT concentrations were elevated during T treatment and closely correlated with testicular development and spermiation.
