THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 905:166834. [PMID: 37717744 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
The herbicide ioxynil (IOX) and the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) are environmentally relevant contaminants that act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs) and have recently been shown to be cardiovascular disruptors in vertebrates. Mussels, Mytilus coruscus, were exposed to low doses of IOX (0.37, 0.037 and 0.0037 mg/L) and DES (0.27, 0.027 and 0.0027 mg/L) via the water and the effect monitored by generating whole animal transcriptomes and measuring cardiac performance and shell growth. One day after IOX (0.37 and 0.037 mg/L) and DES (0.27 and 0.027 mg/L) exposure heart rate frequency was decreased in both groups and 0.27 mg/L DES significantly reduced heart rate frequency with increasing time of exposure (P < 0.05) and no acclimatization occurred. The functional effects were coupled to significant differential expression of genes of the serotonergic synapse pathway and cardiac-related genes at 0.027 mg/L DES, which suggests that impaired heart function may be due to interference with neuroendocrine regulation and direct cardiac effect genes. Multiple genes related to detoxifying xenobiotic substances were up regulated and genes related to immune function were down regulated in the DES group (vs. control), indicating that detoxification processes were enhanced, and the immune response was depressed. In contrast, IOX had a minor disrupting effect at a molecular level. Of note was a significant suppression (P < 0.05) by DES of shell growth in juveniles and lower doses (< 0.0027 mg/L) had a more severe effect. The shell growth depression in 0.0027 mg/L DES-treated juveniles was not accompanied by abundant differential gene expression, suggesting that the effect of 0.0027 mg/L DES on shell growth may be direct. The results obtained in the present study reveal for the first time that IOX and DES may act as neuroendocrine disrupters with a broad spectrum of effects on cardiac performance and shell growth, and that DES exposure had a much more pronounced effect than IOX in a marine bivalve.

Gata6 + large peritoneal macrophages: an evolutionarily conserved sentinel and effector system for infection and injury. Trends Immunol 2023; 44:129-145. [PMID: 36623953 DOI: 10.1016/j.it.2022.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
There are striking similarities between the sea urchin cavity macrophage-like phagocytes (coelomocytes) and mammalian cavity macrophages in not only their location, but also their behaviors. These cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis within the cavity following a breach, filling the gap and functioning as a barrier between vital organs and the environment. In this review, we summarize the evolving literature regarding these Gata6+ large peritoneal macrophages (GLPMs), focusing on ontogeny, their responses to perturbations, including their rapid aggregation via coagulation, as well as scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains and their potential roles in diseases, such as cancer. We challenge the 50-year old phenomenon of the 'macrophage disappearance reaction' (MDR) and propose the new term 'macrophage disturbance of homeostasis reaction' (MDHR), which may better describe this complex phenomenon.

Abstract
The hemocytes of invertebrates are composed of different cell subsets with different morphologies and structures. Different cell subsets have different immune functions, which play an important role in innate immune response against pathogens. However, the understanding of the classification of Apostichopus japonicus coelomocytes and the molecular basis of immune function of different cell subsets is very limited. In this study, two coelomocyte subpopulations of A. japonicus were isolated by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. They were identified from their morphological and structural characteristics, namely, spherical cells with a size of 10-12 μm spherical in shape and a large number of small granules inside; lymphocyte-like cells with a size of 4-5 μm spherical or oval in shape, and 1-3 filopodia. Functionally, the phagocytic capacity and lysosomal activity in spherical cells were significantly greater than those in lymphocyte-like cells. The results suggest that spherical cells may play a more critical role in the immune responses. Meanwhile, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed to further clarify the functional differences between the two cell subsets. The data indicated significantly different gene expression patterns in them. Spherical cells tend to participate in immune defense, whereas lymphocyte-like cells tend to participate in energy metabolism. In addition, lymphocyte-like cells may convert oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis by changing the manner of energy metabolism to quickly adapt to the energy demand of external stimuli. Spherical cells may respond to LPS stimulation through phagocytosis, and their response time is slower than that of lymphocyte-like cells. The expression of genes involved in endocytosis, phagocytosis, and lysosomal and humoral immunity in spherical cells was significantly higher than that in lymphocyte-like cells. These data provide valuable information for understanding the molecular basis of cellular and humoral immunity in A. japonicus.

Abstract
Germ layer formation is driven by embryonic cell sorting during the early developmental stages. Starfish (Patiria pectinifera) embryos have a connected endoderm and ectoderm, albeit with few contact surfaces between the epithelia. To better understand the association between cell sorting and germ layer formation, we reconstructed P. pectinifera embryos and examined their germ layer formation. Initial observations showed that the presumptive endodermal (pEN) and presumptive ectodermal (pEC) portions of the embryonic body at the late-blastula stage were preserved throughout development. Based on this, cells that were dissociated from each dermal fragment were mixed in a reconstruction experiment. Our results showed that the pEN and pEC cells were located inside and outside the reaggregates, respectively, to form an embryonic body containing two epithelial layers, separated by a blastocoel. During this process, the pEN cells were motile and shifted from smaller clumps to form a large clump. In contrast, in reaggregates formed in separate cultures, the pEN cells showed strong adhesion abilities, whereas the pEC cells underwent epithelialization. Unlike that in pEN cells, the reaggregation of pEC cells preceded cadherin expression. Filamentous actin was similarly observed in both reaggregates. These results suggest that during the reconstruction of starfish embryos, germ layer formation occurs via the sorting of pEN and pEC cells, depending on their adhesiveness, motility, and epithelialization. In vivo, these properties might embody the physiological significance of cell adhesion in the germ layers constituting the epithelial monolayer.

Abstract
Cephalopods, like other protostomes, lack an adaptive immune system and only rely on an innate immune system. The main immune cells are haemocytes (Hcts), which are able to respond to pathogens and external attacks. First reports based on morphological observations revealed that the white body (WB) located in the optic sinuses of cuttlefish was the origin of Hcts. Combining transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we identified several factors known to be involved in haematopoiesis in vertebrate species in cuttlefish WB. Among these factors, members of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway were identified, some of them for the first time in a molluscan transcriptome and proteome. Immune factors, such as members of the Toll/NF-κB signaling pathway, pattern recognition proteins and receptors, and members of the oxidative stress responses, were also identified, and support an immune role of the WB. Both transcriptome and proteome analyses revealed that the WB harbors an intense metabolism concurrent with the haematopoietic function. Finally, a comparative analysis of the WB and Hct proteomes revealed many proteins in common, confirming previous morphological studies on the origin of Hcts in cuttlefish. This molecular work demonstrates that the WB is multifunctional and provides bases for haematopoiesis regulation in cuttlefish.

Abstract
Multicellular organisms live in close association with a plethora of microorganism, which have a profound effect on multiple host functions. As such, the microbiota and its host form an intimate functional entity, termed the metaorganism or holobiont. But how does the metaorganism communicate? Which receptors recognize microbial signals, mediate the effect of the microbiota on host physiology or regulate microbiota composition and homeostasis? In this review we provide an overview on the function of different receptor classes in animal host-microbiota communication. We put a special focus on invertebrate hosts, including both traditional invertebrate models such as Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans and “non-model” invertebrates in microbiota research. Finally, we highlight the potential of invertebrate systems in studying mechanism of host-microbiota interactions.

Abstract
Scavenger receptors (SRs) are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) vital for innate immunity. As well as their importance in immune recognition, microbe phagocytosis, and the clearance of modified endogenous molecules, they also activate downstream immune responses as co-receptors. In the current study, we identified a class B scavenger receptor in Eriocheir sinensis (EsSR-B2). The full-length gene is 2,517 bp and encodes a 517 amino acid polypeptide. EsSR-B2 is expressed widely in all tested tissues and is induced by microbial stimulation. Recombinant EsSR-B2 binds to bacteria and pathogen-associated molecular patterns in vitro. Upon knockdown of EsSR-B2 and bacterial challenge with Staphylococcus aureus or Vibrio parahaemolyticus, phagocytosis rates in hemocytes are decreased. Moreover, the expression of several antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in response to distinct microorganism stimulation is decreased following EsSR-B2 silencing. Thus, EsSR-B2 is a PRR that protects E. sinensis against invading pathogens by promoting phagocytosis and enhancing AMP expression.

Abstract
In the present study, a scavenger receptor class B type I (designed as RpSR-BI) was cloned and characterized from manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. The full-length cDNA of RpSR-BI was of 2000 bp, containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1515 bp. Multiple alignments and phylogenetic analysis strongly suggested that RpSR-BI was a member of the scavenger receptors family. The mRNA transcript of RpSR-BI was constitutively expressed in all tested tissues, and mainly expressed in hepatopancreas and hemocytes. Generally, Vibrio anguillarum or Micrococcus luteus challenge induced the expression of RpSR-BI transcripts in hemocytes of manila clams. Recombinant protein of RpSR-BI (rRpSR-BI) could bind lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan and glucan, but not chitin in vitro. Coinciding with the PAMPs binding assay, a broad agglutination spectrum was displayed by rRpSR-BI including Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, rRpSR-BI could enhance the phagocytosis and chemotaxis of hemocytes. These results showed that RpSR-BI functioned as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) with distinct recognition spectrum, and also as an opsonin involved in the innate immune response of R. philippinarum.

Abstract
Echinoderms, possessing outstanding regenerative capabilities, provide a unique model system for the study of response to injury. However, little is known about the proteomic composition of coelomic fluid, an important biofluid circulating throughout the animal's body and reflecting the overall biological status of the organism. In this study, we used LC-MALDI tandem mass spectrometry to characterize the proteome of the cell-free coelomic fluid of the starfish Asterias rubens and to follow the changes occurring in response to puncture wound and blood loss. In total, 91 proteins were identified, of which 61 were extracellular soluble and 16 were bound to the plasma membrane. The most represented functional terms were 'pattern recognition receptor activity' and 'peptidase inhibitor activity'. A series of candidate proteins involved in early response to injury was revealed. Ependymin, β-microseminoprotein, serum amyloid A and avidin-like proteins, which are known to be involved in intestinal regeneration in the sea cucumber, were also identified as injury-responsive proteins. Our results expand the list of proteins potentially involved in defense and regeneration in echinoderms and demonstrate dramatic effects of injury on the coelomic fluid proteome.

Abstract
Galactoside-binding lectin (galectin) is a type of pathogen recognition molecule that occupies an important position in the invertebrate innate immunity system. Our previous study has identified a galectin gene in mollusk Solen grandis (SgGal-1) and illustrated its potential roles in innate immunity. By the functional study using recombinant protein and specific antibody, here, we confirmed the pivotal roles of SgGal-1 in immune defense of S. grandis. SgGal-1 protein was expressed in many tested tissues including gill, mantle, hepatopancreas and gonad, except hemocytes and muscle. The recombinant SgGal-1 (rSgGal-1) bound PGN and β-glucan instead of LPS in vitro, and it further caused significant agglutination of five different microbes, suggesting SgGal-1 served as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) involved in immune defense of mollusk. Furthermore, SgGal-1 recruited hemocytes to encapsulate, which was blocked by anti-rSgGal-1 serum. In the meantime, rSgGal-1 as well as promoted the phagocytosis of hemocytes against Escherichia coli in vitro. All these results suggested that SgGal-1 in S. grandis not only acted as a PRR recognizing microbes but also directly participated in the process of immune opsonization to protect the host from pathogenic infection.

Abstract
The innate immune system helps animals to navigate the microbial world. The response to microbes relies on the specific recognition of microbial-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by immune receptors. Sponges (phylum Porifera), as early-diverging animals, provide insights into conserved mechanisms for animal-microbe crosstalk. However, experimental data is limited. We adopted an experimental approach followed by RNA-Seq and differential gene expression analysis in order to characterise the sponge immune response. Two Mediterranean species, Aplysina aerophoba and Dysidea avara, were exposed to a “cocktail” of MAMPs (lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan) or to sterile artificial seawater (control) and sampled 1 h, 3 h, and 5 h post-treatment for RNA-Seq. The response involved, first and foremost, a higher number of differentially-expressed genes in A. aerophoba than D. avara. Secondly, while both species constitutively express a diverse repertoire of immune receptors, they differed in their expression profiles upon MAMP challenge. The response in D. avara was mediated by increased expression of two NLR genes, whereas the response in A. aerophoba involved SRCR and GPCR genes. From the set of annotated genes we infer that both species activated apoptosis in response to MAMPs while in A. aerophoba phagocytosis was additionally stimulated. Our study assessed for the first time the transcriptomic responses of sponges to MAMPs and revealed conserved and species-specific features of poriferan immunity as well as genes potentially relevant to animal-microbe interactions.

Abstract
Scavenger receptors are crucial for innate immunity owing to their prominent role in clearance of harmful endogenous factors, immune recognition, and more importantly, as co-receptors of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to initiate downstream responses. At present, invertebrate scavenger receptors, especially their role in immune mechanisms, are largely unknown. We report here that scavenger receptors form a diverse superfamily in Octopus ocellatus, including at least five different members with distinct tissue expression patterns. Two members, OoSR-B and OoSR-I, are grouped into class B and I scavenger receptors, respectively. OoSR-B and OoSR-I are located on the hemocyte membrane, and both recombinant scavenger receptors could serve as pattern recognition receptors to bind a broad range of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Although OoSR-B and OoSR-I expression was induced by bacterial stimulation, only OoSR-B promoted hemocyte phagocytosis. Moreover, OoSR-B, but not OoSR-I, could act as a co-receptor of TLR to activate TLR-NF-κB signaling and initiate TNF-α production during anti-bacterial response. As the first report on an invertebrate scavenger receptor acting as a co-receptor of TLR, our study reveals the immune mechanism mediated by scavenger receptors in O. ocellatus, and provides new insight into the evolution of this important receptor family.

Immunol Cell Biol 2016; 94:861-874. [PMID: 27192936 PMCID: PMC5073156 DOI: 10.1038/icb.2016.51] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2016] [Revised: 05/12/2016] [Accepted: 05/12/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) genome sequence contains a complex repertoire of genes encoding innate immune recognition proteins and homologs of important vertebrate immune regulatory factors. To characterize how this immune system is deployed within an experimentally tractable, intact animal, we investigate the immune capability of the larval stage. Sea urchin embryos and larvae are morphologically simple and transparent, providing an organism-wide model to view immune response at cellular resolution. Here we present evidence for immune function in five mesenchymal cell types based on morphology, behavior and gene expression. Two cell types are phagocytic; the others interact at sites of microbial detection or injury. We characterize immune-associated gene markers for three cell types, including a perforin-like molecule, a scavenger receptor, a complement-like thioester-containing protein and the echinoderm-specific immune response factor 185/333. We elicit larval immune responses by (1) bacterial injection into the blastocoel and (2) seawater exposure to the marine bacterium Vibrio diazotrophicus to perturb immune state in the gut. Exposure at the epithelium induces a strong response in which pigment cells (one type of immune cell) migrate from the ectoderm to interact with the gut epithelium. Bacteria that accumulate in the gut later invade the blastocoel, where they are cleared by phagocytic and granular immune cells. The complexity of this coordinated, dynamic inflammatory program within the simple larval morphology provides a system in which to characterize processes that direct both aspects of the echinoderm-specific immune response as well as those that are shared with other deuterostomes, including vertebrates.

Two macrophage migration inhibitory factors regulate starfish larval immune cell chemotaxis. Immunol Cell Biol 2016; 94:315-21.

Abstract
Immune cell recruitment is critical step in the inflammatory response and associated diseases. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood in invertebrates. Mesenchyme cells of the starfish larvae, which allowed Metchnikoff to complete his landmark experiments, are important model for analysis of immune cell migration. The present study investigated the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)--an evolutionarily conserved cytokine that is functionally similar to chemokines--in the larvae of the starfish Patiria (Asterina) pectinifera, which were found to possess two orthologs, ApMIF1 and ApMIF2. ApMIF1 and ApMIF2 clustered with mammalian MIF and its homolog D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT), respectively, in the phylogenetic analysis. In contrast to the functional similarity between mammalian MIF and DDT, ApMIF1 knockdown resulted in the excessive recruitment of mesenchyme cells in vivo, whereas ApMIF2 deficiency inhibited the recruitment of these cells to foreign bodies. Mesenchyme cells migrated along a gradient of recombinant ApMIF2 in vitro, whereas recombinant ApMIF1 completely blocked ApMIF2-induced directed migration. Moreover, the expression patterns of ApMIF1 and ApMIF2 messenger RNA in bacteria-challenged mesenchyme cells were consistent with in vivo observations of cell behaviors. These results indicate that ApMIF1 and ApMIF2 act as chemotactic inhibitory and stimulatory factors, respectively, and coordinately regulate mesenchyme cell recruitment during the immune response in starfish larvae. This is the first report describing opposing functions for MIF- and DDT-like molecules. Our findings provide novel insight into the mechanisms underlying immune regulation in invertebrates.

Abstract
The soft body surface of marine invertebrates is covered by a layer of mucus, a slippery gel secreted by mucocytes lining epithelia. The functions of this gel are diverse including locomotion, cleansing, food particles processing and defense against physicochemical injuries and infectious agents. In oysters, mucus covering pallial organs has been demonstrated to have a major importance in the processing of food particles and in the interactions with waterborne pathogens. Given the limited information available on mucus in bivalves and the apparent wide spectra of activity of bioactive molecules present in this matrix, the characterization of these mucosal secretions has become a research priority. In this study, mucus was separately collected from the mantle, gills and labial palps of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and analyzed by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Results showed the presence of a wide variety of molecules involved in host-microbe interactions, including putative adhesion molecules (e.g. c-type lectins) confirming that transcripts previously identified in epithelial cells are translated into proteins secreted in mucus. Mucus composition was different among samples collected from different organs. These results generate a reference map for C. virginica pallial mucus to better characterize the various physiological functions of mucosal secretions.

Starfish ApDOCK protein essentially functions in larval defense system operated by mesenchyme cells. Immunol Cell Biol 2012; 90:955-65.

Abstract
In larvae of the starfish, Asterina pectinifera, mesenchyme cells operate in the defense system through various behaviors. We have investigated mesenchyme cell dynamics during the immune response by identifying ApDOCK, a new member of the DOCK180 superfamily protein. In 4-day-old bipinnaria larvae processed for morpholino oligonucleotide-mediated knockdown of ApDOCK, injection of inorganic foreign substances revealed that (1) mesenchyme cells fail to undergo either directed migration toward a large oil-droplet or persistent spreading on the oil-droplet after contact; (2) neither uptake of micro-beads nor cell-to-cell fusion on the large oil-droplet differed from that of mesenchyme cells from control larvae. Similar behaviors were also recorded in experiments where bacteria were injected. Under culture conditions, the expression level of ApDOCK mRNA was significantly associated with the immunological behavior of mesenchyme cells. Apparently, the mesenchyme cells from ApDOCK loss-of-function larvae exhibited insufficient lamellipodium formation via lack of fibrous form of actin organization at the leading edge. These results suggest that the migratory congregation and persistence of encapsulation of larval mesenchyme cells are intracellularly regulated by ApDOCK protein, and this regulation is associated with organization of cytoskeletal actin.
