In this study, dsRNA specific to VP28 gene of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) of shrimp was synthesized in Escherichia coli in large scale and studied the immune response of shrimp to dsRNA‐VP28. The haematological parameters such as clotting time and total haemocytes counts, and immunological parameters such as prophenoloxidase (proPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), superoxide anion (SOA) and malondialdehyde content, as well as the mRNA expression of ten immune‐related genes were examined to estimate the effect of dsRNA‐VP28 on the innate immunity of Litopenaeus vannamei. The activities of proPO, SOA and SOD significantly increased in haemocyte after dsRNA‐VP28 treatment, whereas MDA content did not change significantly. Among the ten immune‐related genes examined, only the mRNA expression of proPO, cMnSOD, haemocyanin, crustin, BGBP, lipopolysaccharides (LPs), lectin and lysozyme in haemocytes, gill and hepatopancreas of L. vannamei, was significantly upregulated at 12 h after dsRNA‐VP28 treatment, while no significant expression changes were observed in Toll receptor and tumour receptor genes. The increase of proPO and SOD activities, and SOA level and mRNA expression level of proPO, cMnSOD, haemocyanin, crustin, BGBP, LPs, lectin and lysozyme after dsRNA‐VP28 stimulation indicate that these immune‐related genes were involved in dsRNA‐VP28‐induced innate immunity in shrimp. 相似文献

Raptor, a member of the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), participates in the formation of complex proteins related to the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling. In this study, a 5,020 bp cDNA of Raptor with an open reading frame (ORF) of 3,804 bp encoding for 1,267 amino acids was cloned from Litopenaeus vannamei. The protein contains three conserved domains: Raptor N, HEAT and WD40 domains. The expression of Raptor gene was detected by qRT‐PCR in different tissues of L. vannamei, including hepatopancreas, intestinal, stomach, eyestalk, gill and muscle. The mRNA expression profiles of Raptor in muscle were also analysed under suppression or stimulation of mTOR signalling pathway. The level of Raptor mRNA significantly increased either at 0.5–6 hr after an injection of rapamycin (RAPA) or after 3 days starvation. Leucine or arginine alleviated the up‐regulation of Raptor gene expression caused by RAPA or starvation. The Raptor gene was successfully suppressed using RNA interference (RNAi) technology, and the gene expression and the protein phosphorylation level of 4EBP1 and S6K were significantly decreased. The results of the study suggested that the expression of Raptor was sensitive to the immunology status of L. vannamei and participated in nutritional metabolism. 相似文献

Facilitative glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is a transporter protein for glucose transport via the plasma membrane of the cells to provide energy through carbohydrate metabolism. GLUT1 cDNA from Litopenaeus vannamei was obtained and analysed in this study. Full‐length GLUT1 cDNA is 2062 bp long and contained a 1506‐bp ORF encoding a 502 amino acid protein, a 270‐bp 5′UTR and a 284‐bp 3′UTR. When shrimp were under acute low salinity stress, the expression in hepatopancreas, muscle, gill and eyestalk was all up‐regulated at 12 h (P < 0.05) and 96 h (P < 0.05), while the expression in the four tissues was all down‐regulated at 6 h (P < 0.05) and 48 h (P < 0.05) . The expression in the muscle of shrimp at water salinity of 3 was lower than that at water salinity of 30 independent of dietary carbohydrate levels, while expression in hepatopancreas, gill and eyestalk was up‐regulated at 200 and 300 g kg?1 carbohydrate levels. The expression in all tissues fed glucose was up‐regulated when compared to the expression in shrimp held at a water salinity of 30. This study suggests that GLUT1 is a conserved protein in L. vannamei, and changes in expression due to environmental salinity and dietary carbohydrate level and source. 相似文献

Dermatopontin (DPT), a component of the extracellular matrix, plays important roles in cell‐matrix interactions and matrix assembly. Some studies have revealed that it has more general functions in biological activities. However, its function in molluscs is poorly understood. In this study, a molluscan DPT gene, saDPT2, was cloned from small abalone Haliotis diversicolor. The full‐length cDNA of saDPT2 sequence is 620 bp, with a 531 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 177 amino acids (aa). Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that saDPT2 shares conserved signature motifs with other DPT proteins, including three repeats of 10‐residue motif (S‐X‐H‐X‐N‐X‐Y‐E‐D‐R), which is similar to mammalian 6‐residue repeating sequence of D‐R‐E/Q‐W‐X‐F/Y. Quantitative real‐time PCR was employed to investigate the tissue distribution of saDPT2 mRNA, its expression at different developmental stages, and in abalone under bacteria challenge. The saDPT2 mRNA could be detected in all examined tissues and developmental stages. Moreover, the saDPT2 mRNA was up‐regulated in haemocytes and gills after bacteria injection. The results indicate that the saDPT2 could respond to pathogenic infection and may play a role in adult abalone immune system. 相似文献

The optimization of reproductive parameters in shrimp farming continues to be a challenge for most producing countries. Although the crustacean neuropeptides have been studied extensively in the last two decades, the functions of most of these neuropeptides remained putative. Among them, molt‐inhibiting hormone isoform II (MIH II) has shown an important role in vitellogenesis. In this study, the cDNA encoding mature MIH II peptide was isolated by RT‐PCR from the L. vannamei eyestalk. The cDNA was cloned into pET28a bacterial expression vector. Recombinant MIH II was obtained in the form of insoluble inclusion bodies and purified to ~88% purity. Two doses of rMIH II and a negative control group were assayed in vivo. The stages of ovarian maturation and spawning were recorded during 72 hr post‐injection. The results showed that ovarian maturation occurred approximately in 9% and 33% of females injected with rMIH II at the doses of 300 and 600 ng/gbw respectively. Neither maturation nor spawning was detected in the negative control group. Females injected with 600 ng/gbw, which showed vitellogenic stages III and IV, spawned. These preliminary results argue that the hormone rMIH II could be a promising candidate to induce spawning in L. vannamei shrimp. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA), a precursor of haem, can enhance haem synthesis and the activity of haemoproteins. Here, we investigated the effects of dietary 5‐ALA on Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone). Dietary groups included basal diet (BD, control) and BD plus 15, 30 and 60 ppm 5‐ALA (ALA15, ALA30 and ALA60 respectively). Hepatopancreas adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels increased with increasing 5‐ALA concentration (ALA60 p < 0.05) after 2 weeks of feeding. 5‐aminolevulinic acid diets significantly increased the expression of ecdysis‐related genes: nuclear receptor E75 and chitinase 4 (ALA15, ALA30, ALA60), cytochrome P450 Shade (ALA60), chitinase 1 (ALA60) and chitinase 3 (ALA15, ALA60). Catalase (CAT) and prophenoloxidase gene expression levels were also significantly higher in ALA60 after 12 weeks of feeding. Six hours after L. vannamei were exposed to Vibrio parahaemolyticus, total haemocyte count (ALA60) and gene expression levels of CAT (ALA30, ALA60) were significantly higher in 5‐ALA groups compared to the control. 5‐aminolevulinic acid diets also increased survival of L. vannamei following V. parahaemolyticus immersion challenge. These results suggest that supplementing L. vannamei diets with 5‐ALA can enhance ATP production, immune response against V. parahaemolyticus, total haemocyte count and expression of some immune‐related genes. 5‐aminolevulinic acid can also induce ecdysis‐related gene expressions, without adversely affecting growth. 相似文献

The transformer‐2 gene (tra‐2) plays a key role in the sexual differentiation regulatory hierarchy. In this study, tra‐2 gene homologs designated as Mntra‐2 was cloned and characterized from Macrobrachium nipponense. The full‐length cDNA of Mntra‐2 consists of 1724 bp with an open reading frame (ORF) encoding 192 amino acids, an 827 bp 5′‐untranslated region (UTR) and a 318 bp 3′‐UTR. The predicated molecular mass of Mntra‐2 was 20.805 kDa with an estimated theoretical isoelectric point of 10.36. The deduced amino acid sequence shares high homology with Penaeus monodon. Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) analyses demonstrated that the expression levels of Mntra‐2 varied significantly during different developmental stages of embryogenesis, larvae, and post‐larvae and in various adult tissues. During embryogenesis, the expression level of Mntra‐2 was slightly higher at the cleavage stage than at the blastula stage, and reached the highest level at the nauplius stage. During the larvae, the Mntra‐2 expression gradually increased from 1 d larvae post hatch (L1) to L10 and decreased to a lowest level at the end of metamorphosis. During the post‐larvae, the Mntra‐2 expression was higher level at the 5 d after the metamorphosis (P5). RT‐qPCR showed the Mntra‐2 mRNA was expressed in ovary, testis, muscle, heart, abdominal ganglion, brain, and intestine with the highest level of expression in muscle and intestine. The results indicate that Mntra‐2 is an arthropods tra‐2 homolog and probably plays important roles in embryonic development and sex differentiation of M. nipponense . 相似文献

饲料中添加酵母提取物对凡纳滨对虾免疫相关基因表达及抗菌机能的影响 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2
为了评估饲料中添加酵母提取物对凡纳滨对虾免疫灵敏性和平衡性的相关基因表达的影响,以鱼粉含量为24.5%的基础饲料(对照组)及在基础饲料中添加2.5%酵母提取物的实验饲料,分别饲喂凡纳滨对虾56 d,检测两种饲料投喂的对虾在急性感染溶藻弧菌前后鳃组织Toll受体、IM D和溶菌酶mRNA表达量变化及感染后的对虾死亡情况。结果表明:摄食添加酵母提取物饲料的凡纳滨对虾鳃组织中Toll受体mRNA和溶菌酶mRNA表达量均显著高于对照组对虾(P0.05),IMD mRNA表达量与对照组无显著性差异(P0.05)。急性感染溶藻弧菌后,两组对虾鳃组织Toll受体、IMD和溶菌酶mRNA表达量随感染进程均出现显著变化,Toll受体、IMD和溶菌酶mRNA表达量峰值出现的时间分别为24、42和36 h,且摄食添加酵母提取物组对虾各基因的表达量峰值分别为对照组峰值的201.06%、481.46%和276.77%,均显著高于对照组对虾(P0.05)。摄食添加酵母提取物饲料组对虾鳃组织中Toll受体和IM D mRNA表达量在感染溶藻弧菌后12和24 h分别出现显著上调,而对照组对虾鳃组织中Toll受体和IMD mRNA表达量分别在感染弧菌后24和42 h才出现显著上调。两组对虾经溶藻弧菌人工急性感染后72 h内的累积死亡率无显著差异(P0.05)。实验表明,饲料中添加酵母提取物上调了溶藻弧菌感染前凡纳滨对虾Toll受体和溶菌酶mRNA的表达量,提早了溶藻弧菌感染后对虾Toll受体和IMD mRNA表达量上调时间,且增加了对虾Toll受体、IM D和溶菌酶mRNA表达量的峰值,在一定程度上提高了凡纳滨对虾免疫相关基因表达的灵敏性。 相似文献

Cathepsin L is one of the most important lysosomal cysteine proteases for the initiation of protein degradation, and it is involved in the immune response in many vertebrates. However, its function in the innate immune system of turtles remains poorly understood. Here, we cloned the cathepsin L gene from the Chinese soft‐shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis. We then examined the mRNA expression in different tissues and at different time points after infection by Aeromonas hydrophila or Vibrio parahemolyticus. The full‐length cDNA sequence cloned from P. sinensis was 1,805 bp with a 1,071 bp open reading frame, which encodes a 40.39 kDa polypeptide of 356 amino acids. The deduced protein sequence contained an active triad of Cys, His and Asn, and conserved ERWNIN and GNFD motifs. Homology analysis showed that the deduced amino acid sequence shared 77%–96% identity with other known species. Sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis and structural comparisons revealed that cathepsin L is a member of the cathepsin family. Real‐time PCR analyses showed that turtle cathepsin L mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues, and the expression level is higher in the liver than in other tissues. The expression level in the liver peaks 24 hr after A. hydrophila infection and at two times (12 and 72 hr) after V. parahemolyticus infection. These results suggest that the cathepsin L gene of P. sinensis is likely involved in the process of the antibacterial response to A. hydrophila and V. parahemolyticus. This study is of great importance for future work exploring the molecular mechanism of antibacterial immune responses in P. sinensis. 相似文献

为进一步探究KK-42缩短蜕皮周期的分子机制,本研究以日本沼虾幼虾为材料,通过RACE技术克隆了几丁质降解途径中的限速酶基因NAGase c DNA全长序列,定量测定了KK-42处理不同时间对头胸甲表皮组织中NAGase m RNA相对表达量和对应酶活力的影响。序列分析结果显示,NAGase c DNA全长2 536 bp,编码617个氨基酸。同源性分析显示,NAGase基因保守性较低,与凡纳滨对虾的相似度最高,仅为68%。系统进化分析显示,日本沼虾、三疣梭子蟹、凡纳滨对虾、中国明对虾聚为一个大类,凡纳滨对虾和中国明对虾亲缘关系更为接近,日本沼虾单列一个分支。Real-time PCR分析表明,NAGase相对表达量在蜕皮前D_0期达到峰值;KK-42处理后3 h,D_4期的相对表达量是对照组的253%,处理后6 h,C期和D_0期较对照组分别提高了226%和187%。NAGase酶活力从C期到D_4期逐渐提高,KK-42处理能明显提高C和D_0期NAGase酶活力,尤其对C期的影响最为显著,在处理后3、6和12 h分别提高了11.26、5.99、7.15倍。结果提示,KK-42对日本沼虾表皮NAGase的诱导效应可能是其缩短蜕皮周期的分子机制之一。 相似文献
