Transcriptional regulation of the rainbow trout spleen corticotropin-releasing factor system in response to inflammatory challenges: roles of NF-kB and cortisol

Brett M. Culbert, Leah Grosman, Tania Rodríguez‐Ramos…·Nicholas J. Bernier

This study investigates how the CRF system in rainbow trout spleen responds to inflammation, showing differential regulation of CRFR1 and CRFR2 by cortisol and NF-κB.

Effects of Environmental Salinity on Global and Endocrine-Specific Transcriptomic Profiles in the Caudal Neurosecretory System of Salmonid Fishes

Brett M. Culbert, Stephen Daniel McCormick, Nicholas J. Bernier

This study investigates how environmental salinity affects transcriptomic profiles in the caudal neurosecretory system of salmonid fishes, identifying CRF peptides as key players in osmoregulatory responses.
