Exploration of Synergistic Regulation Mechanisms of Cerebral Ganglion and Muscle in Eriocheir sinensis Activated in Response to Alkalinity Stress

The cerebral ganglion and muscle are important regulatory tissues in <i>Eriocheir sinensis</i>. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore their synergistic roles in this organism's anti-stress response. In this study, proteomics, metabolomics, and combination analyses of the cerebral ganglion and muscle of <i>E. sinensis</i> under alkalinity stress were performed. The cerebral ganglion and muscle played a significant synergistic regulatory role in alkalinity adaptation. The key regulatory pathways involved were amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, signal transduction, and the organismal system. They also played a modulatory role in the TCA cycle, nerve signal transduction, immune response, homeostasis maintenance, and ion channel function. In conclusion, the present study provides a theoretical reference for further research on the mechanisms regulating the growth and development of <i>E. sinensis</i> in saline-alkaline environments. In addition, it provides theoretical guidelines for promoting the vigorous development of the <i>E. sinensis</i> breeding industry in saline-alkaline environments in the future.
