We hypothesized that paternal stresscan negatively impact the progeny, altering different miRs and triggering different physiologicalalterations that could compromise offspring development. To investigate this, we exposed zebrafishmale siblings to a chronic stress protocol for 21 days. We performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq)analyses to identify differentially expressed small noncoding RNAs in 7-day postfertilization (dpf)larvae derived from paternally stressed males crossed with control females compared with the controlprogeny. We found a single miRNA differentially expressed—miR-29a—which was validated inlarva and was also tested in the sperm, testicles, and brain of the stressed progenitors. We observeda vertical transmission of chronic stress to the unexposed larvae, reporting novel consequences ofpaternally inherited chronic stress at a molecular level. The deregulation of mi-R29a in those larvaecould affect relevant biological processes affecting development, morphogenesis, or neurogenesis,among others. Additionally, these disruptions were associated with reduced rates of survival andhatching in the affected offspring.
