Molecular characterization, cytoprotective, DNA protective, and immunological assessment of peroxiredoxin-1 (Prdx1) from yellowtail clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii). DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 156:105175. [PMID: 38574831 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2024.105175] [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: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin-1 (Prdx1) is a thiol-specific antioxidant enzyme that detoxifies reactive oxygen species (ROS) and regulates the redox status of cells. In this study, the Prdx1 cDNA sequence was isolated from the pre-established Amphiprion clarkii (A. clarkii) (AcPrdx1) transcriptome database and characterized structurally and functionally. The AcPrdx1 coding sequence comprises 597 bp and encodes 198 amino acids with a molecular weight of 22.1 kDa and a predicted theoretical isoelectric point of 6.3. AcPrdx1 is localized and functionally available in the cytoplasm and nucleus of cells. The TXN domain of AcPrdx1 comprises two peroxiredoxin signature VCP motifs, which contain catalytic peroxidatic (Cp-C52) and resolving cysteine (CR-C173) residues. The constructed phylogenetic tree and sequence alignment revealed that AcPrdx1 is evolutionarily conserved, and its most closely related counterpart is Amphiprion ocellaris. Under normal physiological conditions, AcPrdx1 was ubiquitously detected in all tissues examined, with the most robust expression in the spleen. Furthermore, AcPrdx1 transcripts were significantly upregulated in the spleen, head kidney, and blood after immune stimulation by polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly (I:C)), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and Vibrio harveyi injection. Recombinant AcPrdx1 (rAcPrdx1) demonstrated antioxidant and DNA protective properties in a concentration-dependent manner, as evidenced by insulin disulfide reduction, peroxidase activity, and metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) assays, whereas cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(+)/AcPrdx1 showed significant cytoprotective function under oxidative and nitrosative stress. Overexpression of AcPrdx1 in fathead minnow (FHM) cells led to a lower viral copy number following viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection, along with upregulation of several antiviral genes. Collectively, this study provides insights into the function of AcPrdx1 in defense against oxidative stressors and its role in the immune response against pathogenic infections in A. clarkii.

[PMID: 37201734 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Members of the peroxiredoxin family are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes, including the ability to combat the effects of oxidative stress and immune responses, among others. Here, we cloned the cDNA of Procambarus clarkii Peroxiredoxin 1 (designated as PcPrx-1) and investigated its biological role in immune system functions in relation to microbial pathogens. The PcPrx-1 cDNA had 744 base pairs in an open reading frame that encoded 247 amino acid residues and contained a PRX_Typ2cys domain. The analysis of tissue specific expression patterns revealed that PcPrx-1 expression was ubiquitous in all tissues. In addition, the mRNA transcript of PcPrx-1 was found to be highest in the hepatopancreas. There was a significant upregulation of PcPrx-1 gene transcripts after exposure to LPS, PGN, and Poly I:C, but the transcription patterns were different after pathogen challenge. Double-stranded RNA was used to knockdown PcPrx-1, which resulted in a striking change in the expression of all the tested P. clarkii immune-associated genes, including lectin, Toll, cactus, chitinase, phospholipase, and sptzale. On the whole, these results suggest that PcPrx-1 is important to confer innate immunity against pathogens by governing the expression of critical transcripts that encode immune-associated genes.
