Abstract: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) experience daily temperature variations that align with light–dark cycles. Opsins mediate vision and light perception and can also act as thermosensors. We examined whether low temperature (23°C) modulates melanopsin gene expression in light-exposed and non-exposed organs. At 23°C, the brain showed strong upregulation (~10×) of opn4x1 and opn4x2 during the light phase, and widespread downregulation (~6×) of almost all melanopsin genes during the dark phase. In the eye, opn4m1, opn4m2, and opn4m3 were reduced (~3×) during light phase. Liver melanopsins displayed different expression patterns at 23°C, with up- and downregulation (~10×). All five muscle melanopsins were downregulated (2–10×) at 23°C during the light phase, and opn4m3, opn4x1, and opn4x2 during the dark phase (2–5×). In addition to the photoperiod, we concluded that low temperature also affects melanopsin expression in adult D. rerio, in an organ- and daily time-dependent manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
