Transcription factor FOXD3 participates in the immune response of Pinctada fucata martensii by regulating nAChR-5
Pinctada fucata martensii, a significant seawater pearl oyster, requires transplantation surgery for pearl production. However, transplantation surgery often induces inflammatory responses, leading to immune rejection or mortality of the pearl oysters. Our previous research elucidated the crucial role of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor 5 from P. f. martensii (PmnAChR-5) in the transplantation immunity. In this study, we obtained the 2000 bp upstream of the coding sequences of PmnAChR-5 genes and verified its highly promoter activity using the dual-luciferase reporter system. Forkhead transcription factor D3 (PmFOXD3) was predicted as a key regulator of PmnAChR-5. Dual luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that overexpression of PmFOXD3 significantly enhanced the promoter activity of PmnAChR-5. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) verified the binding site (TTTTGTTTGTT) of PmFOXD3 in the promoter region of PmnAChR-5. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that down-regulated expression of PmFOXD3 lead to significant enrichment in pathways such as C-type lectin receptor and Ras signaling pathways, along with knockdown of pathway-related genes and decreased TNF-α levels in serum. These findings suggested that PmFOXD3 is involved in the immune response by regulating the promoter activity of PmnAChR-5. Our results provide novel molecular targets for mitigating immune rejection during pearl production.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture is an international journal for the exploration, improvement and management of all freshwater and marine food resources. It publishes novel and innovative research of world-wide interest on farming of aquatic organisms, which includes finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants for human consumption. Research on ornamentals is not a focus of the Journal. Aquaculture only publishes papers with a clear relevance to improving aquaculture practices or a potential application.
