Information about the roles of malectin in innate immunity is scarce. In the present study, a novel malectin gene (designated as CfMal) from the Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri was identified and characterized. Sequence features, tissue distribution, and temporal expression profiles were investigated to infer the potential functions of CfMal in innate immunity. The complete cDNA sequence of CfMal comprised 1,111 bp and contained an open reading frame of 909 bp, which encoded 302 amino acid residues. A malectin domain and a transmembrane region were identified in the predicted protein sequence. CfMal mRNA transcripts were detectable in hemocytes, muscle, mantle, gill, hepatopancreas, and gonads. CfMal expression was highest in hemocytes. Stimulation with Vibrio splendidus increased CfMal expression in hemocytes, gill, and hepatopancreas. The mRNA transcripts of CfMal and three related genes, including binding immunoglobulin protein, heat shock protein 90 kDa β member 1 protein and ER degradation enhancing α-mannosidase like protein 1, increased in scallop hemocytes during an artificial ER-stress. Our results indicate that CfMal might not only be involved in ER-stress, but may also play a role in innate immunity of scallops.","PeriodicalId":14623,"journal":{"name":"ISJ-Invertebrate Survival Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79730387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a 4,735 bp full-length cDNA of the Pacific white shrimp dual oxidase (LvDuox) gene was cloned; the sequence included an open reading frame of 4,497 bp, encoding a protein of 1,498 aa with a calculated mass of 173 kDa. Structural analysis revealed that LvDuox contains several domains. Homology analysis revealed that LvDuox exhibits 96.1%, 67.3% and 67.3% sequence identity with Marsupenaeus japonicas, Drosophila melanogaster and Acyrthosiphon pisum Duox, respectively. The mRNA transcripts of LvDuox were detected in all tested tissues. The mRNA expression of LvDuox was significantly induced in the midgut after Vibrio parahaemolyticus E1 (VPE1) stimulation. After the level of H2O2 in the midgut increased, expression of the superoxide dismutase and catalase genes in the midgut increased significantly. These results suggested that the LvDuox gene was upregulated in the midgut after the challenge by VPE1, and antioxidant genes were involved in the regulation of ROS in the shrimp midgut. LvDuox may therefore be a new target for intestinal disease research in the Pacific white shrimp.","PeriodicalId":14623,"journal":{"name":"ISJ-Invertebrate Survival Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87992033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review mainly focuses on immune tissues (epidermis, pharynx, and intestine), immune cells (phagocytic reticular cells) and immune genes of planarians. In addition, we provide an overview of the critical proteins in the innate immune system - for example, pattern recognition receptors, complement system proteins, anti-microbial peptides and antioxidant enzymes.

Although previous studies have demonstrated that molting in silkworm is associated with prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH), molting hormone (MH), and juvenile hormone (JH), the changes of proteins and genes during silkworm molting, as well as the molecular mechanism about its generating and maintaining remains unclear. In this paper, the proteomic approaches were employed to investigate this issue. Totally, 35 different proteins were successfully identified through mass spectrometry and database searches, among which 42 % proteins were involved in cell structure and 16 % proteins belonged to the metabolism group. Meanwhile, vacuolar ATP synthase, juvenile hormone binding protein precursor and adenylate kinase isoenzyme were found to be down-regulated at early, mid-molt stages, which were further confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Taken together, our data suggests that juvenile hormone binding protein (JHBP) and adenylate kinase (AK) play a critical role in the process of silkworm molting, which may participate in the regulation of silkworm molting.","PeriodicalId":14623,"journal":{"name":"ISJ-Invertebrate Survival Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2017-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85983154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The frequently outbreak of various diseases has heavily threatened the sustainable development of the scallop industry. The information about the bacterial communities inside and outside the body of Yesso scallop will provide insights into disease prevention, probiotic application and health aquaculture. In the present study, the diversity of bacterial communities in intestines, rectum and gills of Yesso scallop and its habitat waters were investigated. The bacterial diversity and richness in waters were higher than that in intestines, rectum and gills. The microbiota from intestines, rectum, gills of scallop and waters were clearly separated into four clusters by Non-metric multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis, suggesting a microbiota selection of scallop at organ scale. Venn diagram suggested that the bacterial community in the body of scallop was more specialized than that in waters. High-throughput sequencing revealed that the main bacterial communities in intestine, rectum and gill were Firmicutes, Tenericute and Proteobacteria, Chlamydiae, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, respectively. While the bacterial communities in waters mainly included Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria. Real-time PCR for bacterial load showed that the total bacterial abundance in waters was significantly higher than that inside the scallop body. The abundance of Bacteroides fragilis in rectum was significantly higher than that in intestines and gills. The results about the bacterial community inside and outside the body of Yesso scallop are helpful to better understand the relationship between the symbiotic bacteria of Yesso scallop and their habitat, and also provided critical information to develop strategies of disease prevention and probiotic application in scallop aquaculture.","PeriodicalId":14623,"journal":{"name":"ISJ-Invertebrate Survival Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2017-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77008505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was correlation between all studied immune system reactions and the virulence of isolates to E. kuehniella and E. integriceps. DE as a less virulent fungal isolate stimulated immune reactions in high levels in most experiments, despite of TV as the most virulent isolate. E. integriceps was the most sensitive host with lowered immune reactions. Z. morio showed resistant with the highest nodulation. E. kuehniella had moderate sensitivity with maximal phagocytic and the phenoloxidase activity. The phagocytic activity was the highest at 30 min after fungus injection. The nodulation and the phenoloxidase activity were demonstrated at 6, 12 and 24 h after injection. The most nodulation rate was observed at 24 h. The phenoloxidase activity for the most isolates reached a maximum value for Z. morio and E. integriceps after 12 h and in E. kuehniella after 24 h.
