Abstract
Aquaculture has suffered significant financial losses as a result of the infection of zoonotic Aeromonas hydrophila, which has a high level of resistance to classic antibiotics. In this study, we isolated an A. hydrophila strain B3 from diseased soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis), which is one of the most commercially significant freshwater farmed reptiles in East Asia, and found that A. hydrophila was its dominant pathogen. To better understand the inhibition effect and action mechanism of Chinese herbs on A. hydrophila, we conducted Chinese herbs screening and found that Lonicera japonica had a significant antibacterial effect on A. hydrophila B3. Experimental therapeutics of L. japonica on soft-shelled turtle showed that the supplement of 1% L. japonica to diet could significantly upregulate the immunity-related gene expression of soft-shelled turtle and protect soft-shelled turtle against A. hydrophila infection. Histopathological section results validated the protective effect of L. japonica. As the major effective component of L. japonica, chlorogenic acid demonstrated significant inhibitory effect on the growth of A. hydrophila with MIC at 6.4 mg/mL. The in vitro assay suggested that chlorogenic acid could inhibit the hemolysin/protease production and biofilm formation of A. hydrophila and significantly decrease the expression of quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and hemolysin-related genes in A. hydrophila. Our results showed that the Chinese herb L. japonica would be a promising candidate for the treatment of A. hydrophila infections in aquaculture, and it not only improves the immune response of aquatic animals but also inhibits the virulence factor (such as biofilm formation) expression of A. hydrophila. KEY POINTS: • A. hydrophila was the dominant pathogen of the diseased soft-shelled turtle. • L. japonica can protect soft-shelled turtle against A. hydrophila infection. • Chlorogenic acid inhibits the growth and biofilm formation of A. hydrophila.

Abstract
Molting is a basic physiological behavior of the Oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense), however, the gene expression patterns and immune mechanisms during the molting process of Oriental river prawn are unclear. In the current study, the gene expression levels of the hepatopancreas of the Oriental river prawn at different molting stages (pre-molting, Prm; mid-molting, Mm; and post-molting, Pom) were detected by mRNA sequencing. A total of 1721, 551, and 1054 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the Prm hepatopancreas (PrmHe) and Mm hepatopancreas (MmHe), MmHe and Pom hepatopancreas (PomHe) and PrmHe and PomHe, respectively. The results showed that a total of 1151 DEGs were annotated into 316 signaling pathways, and the significantly enriched immune-related pathways were "Lysosome", "Hippo signaling pathway", "Apoptosis", "Autophagy-animal", and "Endocytosis". The qRT-PCR verification results of 30 randomly selected DEGs were consistent with RNA-seq. The expression patterns of eight immune related genes in different molting stages of the Oriental river prawn were analyzed by qRT-PCR. The function of Caspase-1 (CASP1) was further investigated by bioinformatics, qRT-PCR, and RNAi analysis. CASP1 has two identical conserved domains: histidine active site and pentapeptide motif, and the expression of CASP1 is the highest in ovary. The expression levels of triosephosphate isomerase (TPI), Cathepsin B (CTSB) and Hexokinase (HXK) were evaluated after knockdown of CASP1. This research provides a valuable basis to improve our understanding the immune mechanisms of Oriental river prawns at different molting stages. The identification of immune-related genes is of great significance for enhancing the immunity of the Oriental river prawn, or other crustaceans, by transgenic methods in the future.

[PMID: 34718187 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2021.109220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) as a serious bacterial disease endangering aquaculture and the Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) industry. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of A. hydrophila on the antioxidant, inflammation, immunity and apoptosis of the E. sinensis. The E. sinensis (female: 150 crabs and male: 150 crabs; 67.11 ± 0.76 g) were randomly divided into the control group (Foot injection with 200 μl PBS) and infection group (Foot injection with 200 μl A. hydrophila of 106 cfu/mL). The hepatopancreas and serum was collected to detect the related indicators after injection 24 h. The results showed that A. hydrophila significantly reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) level and gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase (γ-GCS) activity in the hepatopancreas of male and female crabs (P < 0.05). A.hydrophila also significantly decreased the total-superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity while the levels of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and total glutathione (T-GSH) were significantly increased in the hepatopancreas and serum of male crabs (P < 0.05). At the transcriptional level, the expression of catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidases (GPx), Glutathione S-transferase (GST) in the hepatopancreas of male and female crabs was significantly reduced compared to the control group (P < 0.05). However, A. hydrophila could not significantly change the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) gene expression level in both of male and female carbs. A. hydrophila injection for 24 h, the lysozyme (LZM) and phenoloxidase (PO) activity was significantly increased in the hepatopancreas and serum of the male and female crabs (P < 0.05). Simultaneous increase of immune-related enzyme activity (acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase) was found in the serum of male and female crabs (P < 0.05). However, the acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was significantly decreased in the hepatopancreas of male and female crabs (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the LZM mRNA level was significantly decreased in the hepatopancreas of E. sinensis (P < 0.05). Furthermore, A. hydrophila significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of immune regulated factors (Interleukin enhancer binding factor 2: ILF2, interleukin-16: IL-16, Toll-like receptor: TLR) in the male and female crabs. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β: IL-1β, interleukin-6: IL-6, interleukin-8: IL-8, interleukin-10: IL-10) were significantly increased in the hepatopancreas of male and female crabs. Moreover, A.hydrophila increased the mRNA expression of apoptosis - related genes in male crabs (p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase: p38, adamalysin 17: ADAM17, Cysteine-aspartic acid protease 3: Caspase 3, and Bcl-2-associated X: BAX), but reduced the expression of p38, ADAM17, Caspase 3 and BAX genes in female crabs. In conclusion, A. hydrophila could induce oxidative stress and the response of inflammation and immunity, and also trigger the mRNA expression changes of apoptosis related-genes in E. sinensis. This study provides a theoretical basis for the study of E. sinensis diseases.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of hesperidin on the nonspecific immunity, antioxidant capacity and growth performance of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). A total of 900 healthy crayfish were randomly divided into six groups: the control group (fed the basal diet) and the HES25, HES50, HES75, HES100 and HES150 groups, which were fed the basal diet supplemented with 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 mg kg-1 hesperidin, respectively. The feeding experiment lasted 8 weeks. The results indicated that compared with the control group, the crayfish groups supplemented with 50-150 mg kg-1 hesperidin had a decreased feed conversion ratio (FCR) and increased final body weight (FBW), specific growth rate (SGR) and weight gain (WG) (P < 0.05). The protein carbonyl content (PCC), reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the hepatopancreas and hemocytes were significantly lower, while the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were significantly higher in the crayfish groups supplemented with 50-150 mg kg-1 hesperidin than in the control group. Supplementation with 50-150 mg kg-1 hesperidin significantly increased the activities of acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), lysozyme (LZM), and phenoloxidase (PO) compared with the control group (P < 0.05); upregulated the mRNA expression of cyclophilin A (CypA), extracellular copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (ecCuZnSOD), GPxs, crustin, astacidin, Toll3 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) (P < 0.05); and decreased crayfish mortality following white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection. These findings indicate that dietary hesperidin supplementation at an optimum dose of 50-150 mg kg-1 may effectively improve nonspecific immunity, antioxidant capacity and growth performance in crayfish.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of icariin (ICA) on growth performance, antioxidant capacity and non-specific immunity in Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). A total of 200 healthy crabs (average weight: 33.58 ± 0.05 g) were randomly assigned to four treatments with five replicates, each with ten individuals per pool. There were four dietary treatments: the control group (fed with the basal diet), the ICA 50 group, the ICA100 group, and the ICA 200 group (fed with the basal diet supplemented with 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg ICA, respectively). These diets were provided for 8 weeks. Results indicated that ICA100 crabs had higher weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and survival rate (SR) than the controls. Protein carbonyl content (PCC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in the haemolymph and hepatopancreas of ICA100 crabs were significantly lower than in the control group, while the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities were significantly higher. The activities of PO, LZM, ACP and AKP were significantly enhanced with ICA supplementation at 50 and 100 mg/kg, yet decreased subsequently at 200 mg/kg. Furthermore, supplementation of 100 mg/kg ICA up-regulated the mRNA expression of prophenoloxidase (proPO), catalase (CAT), mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (mtMnSOD), thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) and peroxiredoxin 6 (Prx6), while the mRNA expression of toll like receptors (TLRs), NF-κB-like transcription factor Relish and lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α factor (LITAF) were down-regulated in the hepatopancreas (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that dietary ICA supplementation at an optimum dose of 100 mg/kg may be effective in improving growth performance, antioxidant capability and non-specific immunity of Chinese mitten crab.
