To clarify the mechanism of black carp STING (bcSTING) in the innate immunity, bcSTING-ΔDD (bcSTING without DD) and bcSTING-ΔCTT (bcSTING without CTT domain) were constructed and analyzed in this manuscript. The reporter assays revealed that the induced transcription of IFN promoters mediated by bcSTING-ΔDD were much higher than that of the wild type bcSTING; however, bcSTING-ΔCTT almost lost the activities to trigger the interferon (IFN) promoters transcription. The mRNA transcriptional levels of IFN and interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in EPC cells expressing bcSTING-ΔDD were obviously higher than those of EPC cells expressing wild type bcSTING; however, the transcriptional levels of the above cytokines of EPC cells expressing bcSTING-ΔCTT were basically the same as those of control cells. EPC cells overexpressing bcSTING-DD showed stronger antiviral activity than those overexpressing wild-type bcSTING. Furthermore, the co-immunoprecipitation assay identified the self-interaction between bcSTING-ΔDD molecules. And it was interesting that the affinity between bcSTING-ΔDD and bcTBK1 was obviously stronger than that between bcTBK1 and wild-type bcSTING. Thus, our data suggests that DD of black carp STING plays a negative regulatory role in STING-mediated antiviral immunity, which provides a new perspective for further researching the function of fish STING in the innate immunity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74667,"journal":{"name":"Reproduction and breeding","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 59-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48650901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we evaluated the effects of forage fish and formulated diets on growth performance, proximate compositions, muscle histology and fiber character. Largemouth bass with initial weights of 39.37 ± 1.37g and 39.45 ± 1.40g were fed with formulated diets and forage fish for 8 months, respectively.

Interestingly, the diameter of muscle fiber was larger in FDG than in FFG through microsection observation. A comparative analysis of transcriptome was constructed for muscle tissues of FDG and FFG, respectively. Compared with FFG, 2186 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in FDG, including 1915 upregulated genes and 271 downregulated genes. Gene ontology (GO) analyses revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in GO terms regarding mitochondrial metabolism, muscle growth and development.
