Characterization and Functional Analysis of Two Transmembrane C-Type Lectins in Obscure Puffer (Takifugu obscurus).

ABSTRACT: C-type lectins (CTLs) have received widespread attention in animal immune responses. In the present study, two CTLs (ToCTL1 and ToCTL2) were identified from obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus. The open reading frames of ToCTL1 and ToCTL2 were 687 and 1,380 bp, respectively. The predicted ToCTL1 and ToCTL2 proteins contained a single transmembrane region and one typical carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction detected ToCTL1 and ToCTL2 transcripts in all examined tissues, with high levels in the intestine and kidney, and their expression levels were remarkably altered upon Vibrio harveyi and Aeromonas hydrophila infection. The recombinant proteins ToCTL1-CRD and ToCTL2-CRD agglutinated the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in a Ca²⁺-dependent manner. rToCTL1-CRD and rToCTL2-CRD exhibited evident binding activities against seven kinds of bacteria and polysaccharides (lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan) in a Ca²⁺-independent manner. Moreover, rToCTL1-CRD and rToCTL2-CRD could inhibit the growth of four types of bacteria in vitro. These findings collectively demonstrated that ToCTL1 and ToCTL2 could be involved in host defense against bacterial infection in T. obscurus.

Molecular cloning, characterization and gene expression analysis of twelve interleukins in obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus

Project description:Highlights • 12 interleukin genes were identified from Takifugu obscurus.• Most ToIL genes were broadly expressed in all the examined tissues.• 12 ToIL genes increased significantly following bacterial infection.• 12 ToILs were involved in antibacterial immune response of T. obscurus. Interleukins (ILs) are a subgroup of secreted cytokines, which are molecules involved in the intercellular regulation of the immune system. In this study, 12 IL homologs were cloned and functionally identified from obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus, and they were termed as ToIL-1β, ToIL-1, ToIL-6, ToIL-10, ToIL-11, ToIL-12, ToIL-17, ToIL-18, ToIL-20, ToIL-24, ToIL-27, and ToIL-34. Multiple alignment results showed that except for ToIL-24 and ToIL-27, other deduced ToIL proteins shared typical characteristics and structure with other known fish ILs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 12 ToILs were evolutionarily closely related to their counterparts in other selected vertebrates. Tissue distribution assay demonstrated that the mRNA transcripts of most ToIL genes were constitutively expressed in all tissues examined, with relatively high expression in immune tissues. Following Vibrio harveyi and Staphylococcus aureus infection, the expression levels of 12 ToILs in the spleen and liver were significantly upregulated, and their response over time varied. Taken together, these data were discussed accordingly with the ToIL expression and the immune response under the different situations tested. The results suggest that the 12 ToIL genes are involved in the antibacterial immune response in T. obscurus.

Transcriptome analysis of the kidney of obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus challenged with poly(I:C)

Project description:Obscure puffer is an important aquaculture species in China, but the disease problem of this species seriously affects their production and causes huge economic losses. To reveal the molecular mechanisms of the disease resistance, Polyinosinic - polycytidylic acid poly(I:C) was used to stimulate obscure puffer. Kidneys were collected at 0, 12, and 48 h (To0, To12, and To48) for transcriptome de novo sequencing. This study obtained a large number of information resources on the transcriptome of obscure puffer, which can serve as a reference for further research on the immune regulation mechanisms of obscure puffer in the future.

Various Characteristics of Hybrid between River Puffer, Takifugu obscurus and Tiger Puffer, T. rubripes, and Their Hybrid Triploid.

Project description:A comparison of the growth, hematological values, fatty acids, and gonadal and growth hormonal changes of river puffer, Takifugu obscurus, tiger puffer, T. rubripes, their hybrids (river puffer × tiger puffer) and hybrid triploids was performed during 3 months of their early growth period. Several features were observed during these 3 months: hybrids showed the highest levels of specific growth rate, 1.48%; hybrid triploids showed the smallest change in viscera fat (P<0.05), but GSI was not significantly different among groups (P>0.05). Considering hematological parameters, hybrid triploids had increased mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (P<0.05), but other parameters were not significantly different between groups (P>0.05). With respect to fatty acids, puffer fish, hybrids and hybrid triploids contained fatty acids such as SFAs, MUFAs, n-3 PUFAs and n-6 PUFAs. There were significantly different amounts of total fatty acids between groups (P<0.05), however, rates of changes in fatty acids did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). Gonadal hormone (estradiol and testosterone) changes in the river puffer and tiger puffer were significantly higher than that observed in hybrids and hybrid triploids. The hybrids and tiger puffers had higher amounts of growth hormone (thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroxine) than the hybrid triploids and river puffers (P<0.05).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of <i>Takifugu obscurus</i> (?) × <i>Takifugu rubripes</i> (?).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Takifugu obscurus (?) × Takifugu rubripes (?) was sequenced and characterized in this study. The hybrid mitochondrial DNA, with a total length of 16,443?bp, contain 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs genes, and 2 rRNA gene. There are two noncoding regions: the origin of light-strand replication (OL) and control region (D-loop). The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of T. obscurus (?) × T. rubripes (?) provides data for studies on genetic diversity and species identification among Takifugu.
