Abstract
Interaction between the chemokine receptor XCR1 and its ligand is closely related to the immune function in animals; however, there are only a few reports on role of XCR1 in the immune system of fish. We aimed to analyze the expression of XCR1 in various organs or tissues of grass carp before and after Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV) infection to better understand the function of XCR1 in resistance to GCRV infection. We cloned and sequenced the cDNA of grass carp XCR1 and analyzed the molecular structure of XCR1 based its amino acid sequence. Further, we analyzed the relative expression levels of XCR1 in different organs or tissues of male parent grass carp with GCRV resistance (P1) and their first-generation offspring (F1) before and after GCRV infection. Our results show that the total length of cDNA of the grass carp XCR1 gene is 1659 bp and encodes 365 amino acids. XCR1 contains seven conserved transmembrane helical domains. The homologous tertiary structure of XCR1 is similar to its homologs in other species. After artificial GCRV infection, there were significant differences in the expression of the grass carp XCR1 gene in different tissues, at different time points, and between P1 and F1 fish. These results will contribute to our understanding of the role of XCR1 in fish immune responses and contribute to the development of GCRV-resistant grass carp.

Polystyrene nanoplastics alter virus replication in orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) spleen and brain tissues and spleen cells. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125918. [PMID: 34492850 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 04/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) are known to impair the function of the digestive system, intestinal flora, immune system, and nervous system of marine organisms. We tested whether PS-NPs influence viral infection of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). We found that grouper spleen (GS) cells took up PS-NPs at exposure concentrations of 5, 50, and 500 μg/mL and experienced cytotoxicity at 50 and 500 μg/mL concentrations. At 12 h after exposure to 50 μg/mL of PS-NPs, the replication of Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) and red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) increased in GS cells after their invasion. Juvenile fish exposed to 300 and 3000 μg/L of PS-NPs for 7 d showed PS-NPs uptake to the spleen and vacuole formation in brain tissue. Moreover, PS-NPs exposure accelerated SGIV replication in the spleen and RGNNV replication in the brain. PS-NP exposure also decreased the expression of toll-like receptor genes and interferon-related genes before and after virus invasion in vitro and in vivo, thus reducing the resistance of cells and tissues to viral replication. This is the first report that PS-NPs have toxic effects on GS cells and spleen and brain tissues, and it provides new insights into assessing the impact of PS-NPs on marine fish.

Molecular cloning, inducible expression with SGIV and Vibrio alginolyticus challenge, and function analysis of Epinephelus coioides PDCD4. DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 119:104013.

Abstract
Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) in mammals, a gene closely associated with apoptosis, is involved in many biological processes, such as cell aging, differentiation, regulation of cell cycle, and inflammatory response. In this study, grouper Epinephelus coioides PDCD4, EcPDCD4-1 and EcPDCD4-2, were obtained. The open reading frame (ORF) of EcPDCD4-1 is 1413 bp encoding 470 amino acids with a molecular mass of 52.39 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5.33. The ORF of EcPDCD4-2 is 1410 bp encoding 469 amino acids with a molecular mass of 52.29 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5.29. Both EcPDCD4-1 and EcPDCD4-2 proteins contain two conserved MA3 domains, and their mRNA were detected in all eight tissues of E. coioides by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) with the highest expression in liver. The expressions of two EcPDCD4s were significantly up-regulated after Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) or Vibrio alginolyticus infection. In addition, over-expression of EcPDCD4-1 or EcPDCD4-2 can inhibit the activity of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and regulate SGIV-induced apoptosis. The results demonstrated that EcPDCD4s might play important roles in E. coioides tissues during pathogen-caused inflammation.

Abstract
Chemokine receptors are a superfamily of seven transmembrane domain G-coupled receptors, and they play important roles in immune surveillance, inflammation, and development. Recently, nine CC chemokine receptors (CCRs) were identified and cloned from orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) and annotated by phylogenetic and syntenic analyses. We detected mRNA transcripts for CCRs in healthy tissues of E. coioides, and CCR genes were highly expressed in the immune-relevant tissues. Analysis of gene expression after Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) infection indicated that CCR genes are regulated in a gene-specific manner. CCR8a and CCR8b were significantly upregulated in the spleen and liver of resistant fish, indicating potential roles in immunity against the pathogen. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that CCR8a and CCR8b were expressed predominantly in the cytoplasm. Overexpression of CCR8a and CCR8b in grouper cells significantly inhibited the replication of SGIV, demonstrating that they delayed the occurrence of cytopathic effects induced by SGIV infection and inhibited viral gene transcription. CCR8a and CCR8b overexpression also significantly increased the expression of interferon (IFN)-related cytokines and activated IFN response element and IFN promoter activities. These results demonstrated that CCR8a and CCR8b might have an antiviral function against SGIV infect.

[PMID: 32849631 PMCID: PMC7419653 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.01764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Palmitic acid is the most common saturated fatty acid in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Studies highlighted that palmitic acid plays a significant role in diverse cellular processes and viral infections. Accumulation of palmitic acid was observed in fish cells (grouper spleen, GS) infected with Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV). The fluctuated content levels after viral infection suggested that palmitic acid was functional in virus-cell interactions. In order to investigate the roles of palmitic acid in SGIV infection, the effects of palmitic acid on SGIV induced cytopathic effect, expression levels of viral genes, viral proteins, as well as virus production were evaluated. The infection and replication of SGIV were increased after exogenous addition of palmitic acid but suppressed after knockdown of fatty acid synthase (FASN), of which the primary function was to catalyze palmitate synthesis. Besides, the promotion of virus replication was associated with the down-regulating of interferon-related molecules, and the reduction of IFN1 and ISRE promotor activities by palmitic acid. We also discovered that palmitic acid restricted TBK1, but not MDA5-induced interferon immune responses. On the other hand, palmitic acid decreased autophagy flux in GS cells via suppressing autophagic degradation, and subsequently enhanced viral replication. Together, our findings indicate that palmitic acid is not only a negative regulator of TBK1-IRF3/7 pathway, but also a suppressor of autophagic flux. Finally, palmitic acid promotes the replication of SGIV in fish cells.
