草鱼鳃介导草鱼呼肠孤病毒免疫应答

GILL MEDIATES IMMUNE RESPONSES AFTER GRASS CARP REOVIRUS CHALLENGE IN GRASS CARP (CTENOPHARYNGODON IDELLA)

  • 摘要: 采用草鱼呼肠孤病毒腹腔注射草鱼, 通过定量RT-PCR检测了12个抗病毒免疫相关基因在鳃中不同时间点的表达模式, 以了解鳃对内源性病毒的免疫应答。模式识别受体基因CiTLR3、CiTLR7、CiTLR22、CiRIG-I、CiMDA5、CiLGP2、CiNOD1和CiNOD2, 以及干扰素基因CiIFN-I的表达在注射病毒后12h、24h、48h及72h基本都上调。IgM基因的表达仅在72h上调。接头分子CiMyD88和CiIPS-1基因的表达在早期下调(6h), 然后逐渐上升。为了证实病毒感染的可靠性, 通过RT-PCR检测了病毒VP4基因。结果表明草鱼鳃在抗病毒免疫方面发挥着重要作用。

     

    Abstract: Gill plays an important physical barrier role in defending environmental microbes. How are im-mune responses to endogenous viruses in gill? In the present study, mRNA expressions of 12 antiviral im-mune-related genes were examined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) in grass carp (Ctenopha-ryngodon idella) gill after grass carp reovirus (GCRV) challenge. The relative values of CiTLR3, CiTLR7, CiTLR22, CiRIG-I, CiMDA5, CiLGP2, CiNOD1, CiNOD2 and CiIFN-I were almost up-regulated at 12h, 24h, 48h and 72h. Additionally, the mRNA expression of CiIgM was triggered at 72h. However, relative expres-sions of CiMyD88 and CiIPS-1 were down-regulated at 6h, and subsequently increased. To further verify the reliability of viral infection, VP4 gene (outer capsid protein of GCRV, segment 6) was checked by RT-PCR amplification. The results indicate that gill serves as an important immune organ, and plays crucial roles in triggering antiviral immune responses in grass carp.
