Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays an important role in the immune response to antigenic peptides in vertebrates. In this study, the full length of MHC IIB cDNA was isolated from the Whitespotted bambooshark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum) by homology cloning, and the rapid amplification of cDNA ends polymerase chain reaction. As a result, the MHC IIB cDNA is 1,407 bp, which contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 831 bp encoding a protein of 276 amino acids. Furthermore, seven alleles of the complete MHC IIB ORF were detected and the variable sites were mainly located in the immunoglobulin-like (β2) region. Tissue distribution analysis showed that MHC IIB can be detected in all the ten tissues examined, with the highest expression in the spleen and gill. Challenge of C. plagiosum with the pathogenic bacteria, Vibrio harveyi, resulted in significant changes in the expression of MHC IIB mRNA in the three immune-related tissues (gill, liver and spleen). These results show that the MHC IIB plays an important role in response to bacterial infection in elasmobranches.  相似文献

Haemocytes of Mytilus edulis, allowed to attach to the plastic surface of a tissue culture plate in the presence of haemolymph, were observed by time-lapse video recording. When bacteria were added at concentrations of 10 or 50 bacteria per haemocyte, certain bacterial strains caused rounding of the cells within 2–3 h. Haemolymph was necessary for the rounding to occur; if bacteria were added in sterile seawater there was no significant difference in the number of rounded cells between control and bacteria-treated cultures for up to 4 h. The haemolymph factor required for this activity was active at 1/64 dilution in seawater, was sensitive to trypsin treatment, and activity was halved on heating at 56 or 100 °C for 30 min. For the most toxic bacteria tested, Vibrio alginolyticus NCMB 1339 and Vibrio anguillarum A7, haemocyte cell rounding appeared to be induced by a very small number of bacterial cells. Bacteria-free culture supernatant of V. anguillarum 2981 induced rounding of haemocytes in a dose-dependent manner, with 50 % of cells being rounded at a dilution of approximately 1/500 of the culture supernatant. In a survey of 226 bacterial isolates, those isolated from incidents of disease in a bivalve hatchery were significantly more toxic towards haemocytes than bacteria isolated from hatcheries without disease or from turbot hatcheries.  相似文献

The chemokines are a superfamily of chemotactic cytokines playing an important role in leukocyte chemotaxis. Here, a turbot head kidney cDNA library was constructed in which KC70 was identified as a CC chemokine. Unknown 5′ and 3′ parts of the cDNA were amplified by 5′ and 3′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The complete cDNA of KC70 contains a 59-bp 5′ UTR, a 336-bp ORF, and a 152-bp 3′ UTR. Four exons and three introns were identified in KC70. Phylogenetic analysis showed that KC70 was similar to CCL19. In normal turbot KC70 was expressed in all tissues except brain and skin. Infection of turbot with pathogenic bacteria significantly increased expression of KC70 in the liver. Expression of KC70 in head kidney first increased and then decreased after bacterial challenge. No significant change was observed in the spleen after bacterial challenge. During embryonic development, KC70 was highly expressed after the gastrula stage. These results indicated KC70 plays important and multiple roles in turbot immune response.  相似文献

Molecular cloning, characterization, and functional analysis of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) in female turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were evaluated. Results showed that the full-length FSHR cDNA was 3824 bp long and contained a 2202 bp open reading frame that encoded a mature protein of 733 amino acids (aa) and a signal peptide of 18 aa. Multiple sequence analyses showed that turbot FSHR has high homology with the corresponding genes of other teleosts and significant homology with that of Hippoglossus hippoglossus. Turbot FSHR has the typical structural architecture of glycoprotein hormone receptors consisting of a large N-terminal extracellular domain, seven transmembrane domains and short C-terminal intracellular domain. FSHR mRNA was found to be abundant in the ovaries, but deficient in eyes, intestine, brain, muscle, gills, spleen, stomach, heart and kidney. Furthermore, FSHR mRNA was found to increase gradually from pre-vitellogenesis to migratory nucleus stages, with the highest values observed during the late vitellogenesis stage of the reproductive cycle. However, FSHR mRNA was found to decrease dramatically during the atresia stage. Meanwhile, functional analysis with HEK293T cells continual expressing FSHR demonstrated that FSHR was specifically stimulated by ovine FSH, but not ovine LH. These results indicate that turbot FSHR is mainly involved in the stimulation of vitellogenesis, regulation of oocyte maturation as well as promotion of ovarian development via specific ligand binding. These findings open doors to further investigation of physiological functions of FSHR, which will be valuable for fish reproduction and broodstock management.  相似文献

Vibrio vulnificus, Edwardsiella anguillarum and Aeromonas hydrophila are three common bacterial pathogens in cultivated eels. To protect farming eels from infection by these pathogens, a trivalent outer membrane protein (OMP) containing partial sequences of OmpU from V. vulnificus, OmpA from E. anguillarum and OmpII from A. hydrophila was expressed and purified; then, the OMP was used as a vaccine to immunize Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica). Whole-blood cell proliferation, antibody titres and complement and lysozyme activities were detected at different days post-immunization (dpi), and the relative per cent survival (RPS) was determined after eels were infected with V. vulnificus, E. anguillarum or A. hydrophila at 28 dpi. The results showed that the OMP significantly stimulates the antibody titres. At 14 days after the challenge (i.e. at 28 dpi), the RPS of OMP against V. vulnificus, E. anguillarum and A. hydrophila was 20%, 70% and 11.1%, respectively. The construction, expression and immunogenicity of a trivalent Omp were reported for the first time, and this study will provide a valuable reference for the development of fish multiplex vaccines.  相似文献

The present study was undertaken to investigate the distribution of Listonella anguillarum in a Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) hatchery. A total of 2704 isolates were obtained from the developing fish, live diets and artificial feeds of Japanese flounder and their rearing water, 439 of which were identified as L. anguillarum by the combining incubation on thiosulfate-citrate-bile salt-sucrose (TCBS) agar at 35 °C overnight with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection for the VAH1 hemolysin gene. L. anguillarum was detected in all seven rotifer samples, with densities of 2.5 × 103 to 4.6 × 106 colony forming units (CFU) g− 1. Both the analyzed samples of Nannochloropsis oculata contained this bacterium at densities of 1.6 × 104 to 1.4 × 105 CFU g− 1. L. anguillarum was detected in only one of four samples of Artemia nauplii with a density of 4.8 × 105 CFU g− 1 (35%) and it was not detected in the two analyzed artificial feed samples. L. anguillarum was detected in 11 of 18 specimens of larval and juvenile Japanese flounder at densities of 5.0 × 101 to 7.4 × 105 CFU g− 1, while it was not detected in the two analyzed egg specimens of Japanese flounder. These results indicate that L. anguillarum associated with the developing Japanese flounder is likely derived from rearing water and live diets such as rotifers. Further, it is strongly suggested that L. anguillarum is a transient bacterium of the intestinal microflora for the Japanese flounder but is a permanently indigenous one for the Japanese flounder hatcheries.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether orally administered V. anguillarum cells could survive passage through the intestinal tract of feeding turbot, and thereafter, proliferate in the released faeces. In addition, the growth of the pathogen in turbot faeces in the presence of a Carnobacterium sp. with inhibitory effects against a number of bacterial fish pathogens was studied. It was found that V. anguillarum cells survived the acidic environment of the stomach for several hours, persisted in the intestine and readily proliferated in the released faeces. The antagonistic Carnobacterium sp. inhibited the growth of V. anguillarum during co-culture in turbot faecal extracts. From the results, it was concluded that the turbot intestinal tract and faeces can serve as an enrichment site for V. anguillarum, and the use of intestinal bacteria with antagonistic activity against vibrios may be used to reduce the load of fish pathogenic vibrios in turbot hatcheries.  相似文献

The role of the intestinal tract in Vibrio anguillarum infection of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), fingerlings was investigated in two in vivo models and the possible mechanisms involved were studied in vitro. Viable V. anguillarum cells were detected in spleens from more than 50% of the fish administered the pathogen orally or rectally, suggesting that the intestinal tract is a portal of entry for V anguillarum. In transmission electron micrographs, V. anguillarum- like cells were seen close to the rectal epithelium, suggesting penetration of the mucus layer, but no epithelial cell penetration or endocytosis was evident. Attachment to intact turbot intestines was investigated, and 80% or more of the bacterial cells still remained attached after serial washings. A significantly higher number of cells attached to rectal segments than to the other intestinal segments. In vitro, V. anguillarum cells did not adhere specifically to intestinal mucus, but rather accumulated close to intestinal mucus interfaces and subsequently penetrated them. It is proposed that the intestinal ttact of tutbot is a portal of entry for V. anguillarum and that the cells penetrate the intestinal mucus overlaying the epithelial cells.  相似文献

本研究根据半滑舌鳎(Cynoglossus semilaevis)基因组数据库中预测的多聚免疫球蛋白受体(Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, pIgR)序列,通过PCR和RACE技术获得了半滑舌鳎pIgR基因cDNA,全长为1419 bp,开放阅读框(ORF)为1020 bp,编码339个氨基酸,5′UTR区域为109 bp,3′UTR区域为290bp。保守结构域分析显示,半滑舌鳎pIgR蛋白包含1个信号肽,2个免疫球蛋白功能域(Ig-like domain, ILD)和1个跨膜结构域。经蛋白序列同源比对和系统进化树分析,发现半滑舌鳎pIgR与大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)和牙鲆(Paralichthy solivaceus)的pIgR亲缘关系最近。实时荧光定量PCR分析显示,pIgR基因在健康半滑舌鳎的不同组织中均有表达,在鳃中表达较高,在肌肉中表达最低。经哈维氏弧菌(Vibrio harveyi)病原感染刺激后,pIgR基因在半滑舌鳎的5个组织(肝脏、脾脏、肾脏、肠和鳃)中均呈先上升后下降的趋势,其中,在脾脏和鳃中48 h达到最高值,在肝脏、肾脏和肠中72 h达到峰值。与内脏组织不同的是,pIgR基因在皮肤中呈一直上升的趋势。上述结果表明,pIgR基因在半滑舌鳎抵御哈维氏弧菌的免疫应答中发挥重要作用。  相似文献

In intensive recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) ortho-phosphate (ortho-P) is one of the main accumulating substances, but effects of chronically elevated concentrations on fish health and production performance are still unknown. Therefore 120 juvenile turbot (Psetta maxima) were exposed to ortho-P concentrations of 3 mg/L (control – C), 26 mg/L (low – LP), 52 mg/L (medium – MP) and 82 mg/L (high – HP) for 56 days and fed until satiation with a commercial diet. Health status and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were not significantly affected by treatment (p > 0.05). Specific growth rates (SGR) and daily feed intake (DFI) of C were not considered significantly different from LP, MP and HP treatments, however LP showed significant higher DFI and SGR than HP (p < 0.05). Using non-linear regression between SGR and ortho-P concentrations, 27 mg/L ortho-P was found as the optimum for turbot growth. Although not reflected in blood plasma P levels (p > 0.05) a potential aqueous P uptake might result in metabolic benefits leading to the observed growth enhancement in the LP treatment.In a second experiment 114 juvenile turbot were exposed to ortho-P concentrations of 2 mg/L (C2) and 25 mg/L (LP2) for 63 days and fed until satiation with a low P diet (4.6 g digestible-P/kg diet). Overall production performance was low due to low voluntary feed intake. Whereas the FCR was unaffected by treatment (p > 0.05), significantly higher feed intake and biomass gain were observed for LP2 compared to C2 (p < 0.05). LP2 treatment showed a trend for higher protein retention efficiency and lower whole body lipid content (p < 0.1). The dry matter, ash, Phosphorus, Calcium and protein content in whole body did not significantly vary between treatments (p > 0.05).In conclusion the accumulation of ortho-P in RAS does not negatively affect health of turbot. Elevated ortho-P seems to have slight positive effects on production performance of juvenile turbot. Further research to quantify dietary P requirements for turbot in general, as well as for turbot raised under elevated ortho-P conditions in RAS is strongly required.  相似文献
