[PMID: 38171431 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109354] [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: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that modulate target-genes expression and play crucial roles in post-transcriptional regulation and immune system regulation. The Hong Kong oyster (Crassostrea hongkongesis), as the main marine aquaculture shellfish in the South China Sea, not only has high economic and ecological value, but also is an ideal model for conducting research on pathogen host interaction. Vibrio harveyi, a Gram negative luminescent marine bacterium, is widely distributed in coastal water environments and can cause large-scale death of C. hongkongesis. However, little in formation is available on the immune regulatory mechanisms of C. hongkongesis infected with V. harveyi. Therefore, we performed microRNA transcriptome analysis for elucidating the immunoregulation mechanism of C. hongkongesis infected with V. harveyi. The results show that a total of 308468208 clean reads and 288371159 clean tags were obtained. 222 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified. A total of 388 target genes that were differentially expressed and negatively correlated with miRNA expression were predicted by 222 DEmiRs. GO enrichment analysis of 388 DETGs showed that they were mainly enriched in the immune-related term of membrane-bounded vesicle, endocytic vesicle lumen, antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I, antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class I, and other immune-related term. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DETGs were mainly enriched in the Complement and coagulation cascades, Herpes simplex virus 1 infection, Bacterial invasion of epithelial cells, Antigen processing and presentation and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. The 16 key DEmiRs and their target genes form a regulatory network for seven immune-related pathways. These results suggest that V. harveyi infection induces a complex miRNA response with wide-ranging effects on immune gene expression in the C. hongkongesis. This study explored the immune response of C. hongkongesis to V. harveyi infection at the level of miRNAs, which provides new ideas for the healthy culture and selective breeding of C. hongkongesis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of regulatory small RNAs that program gene expression, mainly at the post-transcriptional level. Although sporadic examples of species-specific miRNAs (termed SS-miRNAs) have been reported, a genome-scale study across a variety of distant species has not been assessed. Here, by comprehensively analyzing miRNAs in 81 plant species phylogenetically ranging from chlorophytes to angiosperms, we identified 8048 species-specific miRNAs from 5499 families, representing over 61.2% of the miRNA families in the examined species. An analysis of the conservation from different taxonomic levels supported the high turnover rate of SS-miRNAs, even over short evolutionary distances. A comparison of the intrinsic features between SS-miRNAs and NSS-miRNAs (non-species-specific miRNAs) indicated that the AU content of mature miRNAs was the most striking difference. Our data further illustrated a significant bias of the genomic coordinates towards SS-miRNAs lying close to or within genes. By analyzing the 125,267 putative target genes for the 7966 miRNAs, we found the preferentially regulated functions of SS-miRNAs related to diverse metabolic processes. Collectively, these findings underscore the dynamic evolution of miRNAs in the species-specific lineages.

Abstract
Immunocyte migration to infection sites is important for host cellular defense, but the main types of migrating hemocytes and their mechanisms against pathogen invasions are unclear in invertebrates. In the present study, a population of hemocytes in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas labeled with a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptide was sorted. RGD+ hemocytes were characterized by a smaller cell size and cytoplasmic-nucleo ratio, fewer cytoplasmic granules, and higher levels of myeloperoxidase, reactive oxygen species, and intracellular free calcium concentration. RGD+ hemocytes exhibited a high level of migration activity, which was further induced after V. splendidus infection. Transcriptome analysis revealed that RGD+ hemocytes highly expressed a series of migration-related genes, which together with migration-promoting genes were significantly upregulated after V. splendidus infection. The neuroendocrine system was also proven to regulate the migration activity of RGD+ hemocytes, especially with the excitatory neuroendocrine factor dopamine, which promoted migration activity as confirmed by receptor blocking assays. Meanwhile, RGD+ hemocytes could highly express immunomodulatory factor interleukin (IL)-17s and their receptor genes, which was positively related to the production of antimicrobial peptides in whole hemocytes after V. splendidus infection. Collectively, this study identified a specific hemocyte population, i.e., RGD+ hemocytes, that shows high migration activity in response to pathogen infection and exerts a potential immunomodulatory role by highly expressing IL-17s that might enhance the hemocytes’ antimicrobial peptide production in oysters.

Abstract
Bivalves are a diverse mollusc group of economic and ecological importance. An evident resilience to pollution, parasites and extreme environments makes some bivalve species important models for studying adaptation and immunity. Despite substantial progress in sequencing projects of bivalves, information on non-coding genes and gene-regulatory aspects is still lacking. Here, we review the current repertoire of bivalve microRNAs (miRNAs), important regulators of gene expression in Metazoa. We exploited available short non-coding RNA (sncRNA) data for Pinctada martensii, Crassostrea gigas, Corbicula fluminea, Tegillarca granosa and Ruditapes philippinarum, and we produced new sncRNA data for two additional bivalves, the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the blood clam Scapharca broughtonii. We found substantial heterogeneity and incorrect annotations of miRNAs; hence, we reannotated conserved miRNA families using recently established criteria for bona fide microRNA annotation. We found 106 miRNA families missing in the previously published bivalve datasets and 89 and 87 miRNA complements were identified in the two additional species. The overall results provide a homogeneous and evolutionarily consistent picture of miRNAs in bivalves and enable future comparative studies. The identification of two bivalve-specific miRNA families sheds further light on the complexity of transcription and its regulation in bivalve molluscs. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Molluscan genomics: broad insights and future directions for a neglected phylum'.

Integrated analysis of miRNAome and transcriptome reveals miRNA-mRNA network regulation in Vibrio alginolyticus infected thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus. Mol Immunol 2021; 132:217-226.

Abstract
The thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus has developed into a model species for studying the interaction between molluscs and environmental stimuli. Herein, integrated analysis of miRNAome and transcriptome was performed to reveal miRNA-mRNA network regulation in Vibrio alginolyticus infected M. coruscus. There have detected some histological abnormalities in digestive gland and gills of V. alginolyticus challenged mussels, ascertaining the effective irritation by the present bacterial strain. A total of 265 novel miRNAs were finally predicted, of which 26 were differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs). Additionally, 667 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected, which may be potentially associated with innate immune response to V. alginolyticus infection. A regulatory network linked to 22 important pathways and 16 DEMs and 34 OGs was constructed. Some traditional immune-related signaling pathways such as toll-like receptor signaling pathway (TLR) signaling pathway, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway, peroxisome, phagosome, lysosome, mammalian target of rapamyoin (mTOR) signaling pathway were linked to specific miRNAs and genes in this network. Further, interactional relationship between certain miRNAs and TLR pathway was dissected, which the results predicted that a number of TLRs and TLR-associated signaling genes including TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, IRAK1, TRAF6, MAPK, and IL-17 were negatively regulated by novel_miR_11, novel_miR_145, novel_miR_196, novel_miR_5, novel_miR_163 and novel_miR_217 in the TLR pathway. Additionally, interactional relationship between novel_miR_145 and TLR2 was validated by laboratory experiment. The integrated analysis of mRNA and microRNA deep sequencing data exhibited a sophisticated miRNA-mRNA regulation network in M. coruscus in response to V. alginolyticus challenge, which shed a new light on the underlying mechanism of molluscan confronting bacterial infection.

Abstract
Studies on invertebrate immune receptors can provide insights into characteristics specific to innate immune system. Here, eight α and three β integrins are identified from an invertebrate, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, and their possible immune functions are studied. Oyster α/β integrins exhibit a higher degree of sequence and structural variability than the members from Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster. The analysis reveals that oyster RGD- and laminin-binding receptor homologs are present in the phylogenetic tree of α integrins, but the other six oyster α integrins mainly form a species-specific branch; meanwhile, oyster β integrins are clustered with insect β integrins but distinct from a member from the mollusk Biomphalaria glabrata. Although phylogenetically lacking the important α integrin branches of LDV-binding, PS3-type, and αI-containing integrins, oyster integrins can bind to most ECM ligands, including RGDCP, LDVCP, GFOGERCP, and laminin protein in a distinct binding pattern. Besides, oyster integrins are distributed in different hemocyte subpopulations, while only specific integrins are selectively involved in hemocyte phagocytosis, migration, and encapsulation, and some of them participate in more than one immune response in a sophisticated pattern. Especially, oyster β integrins are arranged in the core to mediate complex immune responses, unlike the counterparts in humans that mainly depend on αI-containing integrins to incite immune reactions. This study represents the first comprehensive attempt to reveal the structural and evolutionary features of the integrin family and their involvement in cellular immune responses in the non-model invertebrate C. gigas and sheds light on the characteristics specific to the innate immune system in the integrin family.

[PMID: 30336283 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.10.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2018] [Revised: 10/11/2018] [Accepted: 10/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis is well studied as the major mechanism of physiological cell death in vertebrates. In the present study, a second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases (Smac)/direct inhibitor of apoptosis-binding protein (IAP) with low pI protein (DIABLO) (designated as CgSmac) was identified from oyster Crassostrea gigas. The open reading frame of CgSmac was of 966 bp nucleotides encoding a predicted polypeptide of 321 amino acids with a conserved Smac/DIABLO domain containing a potential IAP-binding motif of VMPV. CgSmac proteins were distributed in hemocytes and co-localized with mitochondria. Western blotting analysis revealed that CgSmac proteins mainly existed in the dimer form in hemocytes, and the monomeric precursors and mature monomers were also detected. After lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, the mRNA expression of CgSmac in hemocytes was significantly up-regulated and peaked at 6 h (12.26-fold, p < 0.05), and the protein level of its dimers was significantly up-regulated at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h, while that of CgSmac monomers was up-regulated at 6 h, 12 h and down-regulated at 24 h, 48 h. The decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential indicated that the occurrence of early stage of apoptosis in primary cultured hemocytes was induced by LPS, and RNA interference (RNAi) of CgSmac could not rescue this decrease. The caspase-3 activity in primary cultured hemocytes was significantly suppressed after RNAi of CgSmac. Correspondingly, the total apoptotic rate of primary cultured hemocytes was also significantly suppressed in dsCgSmac + LPS group (31.57%) compared to dsEGFP + LPS group (40.27%, p < 0.05), which in turn demonstrated the conserved pro-apoptotic function of CgSmac. Furthermore, the early apoptotic rate (10.4% vs. 8.5%, p < 0.05) was significantly higher in dsCgSmac + LPS group than that of dsEGFP + LPS group, while the necrosis (7.7% vs. 10.0%, p < 0.05) and late apoptotic rates (13.4% vs. 21.9%, p < 0.05) were lower in dsCgSmac + LPS group than those of dsEGFP + LPS group. Collectively, CgSmac could activate mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by promoting caspase-3 activity in oyster hemocytes against exogenous LPS invasion. These results provided new insights on oyster apoptosis and the immune defense mechanisms in invertebrates.

Abstract
Oyster Crassostrea gigas is one model mollusc inhabiting in the intertidal zone and is frequently stressed by desiccation. The adaptation mechanism of oyster to environmental stress involves multiple levels, and miRNA is one of the most important regulators in post-transcriptional level. In the present study, an oyster norepinephrine-responsive miRNA cgi-miR-365 was proved to contribute to the host adaptation against desiccation by directly promoting the expression of CgHSP90AA1. Briefly, a significant increase of cgi-miR-365 was observed from the first day after aerial exposure and the up-regulation was vigorously repressed when oysters were injected with adrenoceptors antagonists. A total of 15 genes involved in biological regulation, metabolic process and response to stimulus were predicted to be modulated by cgi-miR-365. Among these genes, CgHSP90AA1 was up-regulated significantly during desiccation and could be down-regulated after simultaneous injection of adrenoceptors antagonists. The interaction between cgi-miR-365 and CgHSP90AA1 was subsequently verified in vitro, and a significant promotion of CgHSP90AA1 transcripts was observed after overexpressing cgi-miR-365 in either in vitro luciferase reporter assay or primarily cultured haemocytes. Meanwhile, CgHSP90AA1 transcripts decreased in vivo when cgi-miR-365 was repressed by its inhibitor during desiccation. Collectively, it was suggested that cgi-miR-365 could be induced by norepinephrine during desiccation and promote CgHSP90AA1 expression directly after binding to its 3'-UTR, which would provide new evidence in miRNA-mediated adaptation mechanism in oysters against intertidal stress.
