Exosomal miR-4171-x contributes to T helper II cell immune response by regulating the Gata-3 expression in flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)
Exosomes are recognized for their function as facilitators of intercellular communication and regulators of immune responses. However, the specific contributions of exosomes to the host's immune response against pathogens, especially concerning T cell immunity, remain inadequately elucidated in teleost fish. This study characterized exosomal miRNAs from the peritoneal cavity of flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) challenged with Vibrio anguillarum. Exosomes isolated from uninfected and V. anguillarum-challenged flounder exhibited typical cup-shaped morphology and size distribution, and were further confirmed by the expression of exosomal markers (Cd9, Cd81, and Tsg101). miRNA transcriptome sequencing revealed that the expression profiles of 69 exosomal miRNAs exhibited significant alterations when comparing the infected group to the control group. Specifically, 49 miRNAs were found to be significantly upregulated, while 20 miRNAs were significant downregulation. Furthermore, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the predicted target genes of these significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were involved in various immune processes, including signaling pathways related to T cell immune response. Functional studies identified exosomal miR-4171-x as a critical regulator, which mechanistically targets gata3—the master transcriptional regulator of Th2 cell differentiation. These findings provided novel insights into host-pathogen interactions and may inform future strategies for improving disease resistance in aquaculture.
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.
