Abstract
AbstractPeriodic episodes of low oxygen (hypoxia) and elevated CO2 (hypercapnia) accompanied by low pH occur naturally in estuarine environments. Under the influence of climate change, the geographic range and intensity of hypoxia and hypercapnic hypoxia are predicted to increase, potentially jeopardizing the survival of economically and ecologically important organisms that use estuaries as habitat and nursery grounds. In this review we synthesize data from published studies that evaluate the impact of hypoxia and hypercapnic hypoxia on the ability of crustaceans and bivalve molluscs to defend themselves against potential microbial pathogens. Available data indicate that hypoxia generally has suppressive effects on host immunity against bacterial pathogens as measured by in vitro and in vivo assays. Few studies have documented the effects of hypercapnic hypoxia on crustaceans or bivalve immune defense, with a range of outcomes suggesting that added CO2 might have additive, negative, or no interactions with the effects of hypoxia alone. This synthesis points to the need for more partial pressure of O2 × low pH factorial design experiments and recommends the development of new host∶pathogen challenge models incorporating natural transmission of a wide range of viruses, bacteria, and parasites, along with novel in vivo tracking systems that better quantify how pathogens interact with their hosts in real time under laboratory and field conditions.

Li M, Huang Q, Lv X, Small HJ, Li C. Integrative omics analysis highlights the immunomodulatory effects of the parasitic dinoflagellate hhematodinium on crustacean hemocytes. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 125:35-47. [PMID: 35526798 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.04.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Parasitic dinoflagellates in genus Hematodinium have caused substantial economic losses to multiple commercially valuable marine crustaceans around the world. Recent efforts to better understand the life cycle and biology of the parasite have improved our understanding of the disease ecology. However, studies on the host-parasite interaction, especially how Hematodinium parasites evade the host immune response are lacking. To address this shortfall, we used the comprehensive omics approaches (miRNA transcriptomics, iTRAQ-based proteomics) to get insights into the host-parasite interaction between hemocytes from Portunus trituberculatus and Hematodinium perezi in the present study. The parasitic dinoflagellate H. perezi remodeled the miRNome and proteome of hemocytes from challenged hosts, modulated the host immune response at both post-transcriptional and translational levels and caused post-transcriptional regulation to the host immune response. Multiple important cellular and humoral immune-related pathways (ex. Apoptosis, Endocytosis, ECM-receptor interaction, proPO activation pathway, Toll-like signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway) were significantly affected by Hematodinium parasites. Through modulation of the host miRNome, the host immune responses of nodulation, proPO activation and antimicrobial peptides were significantly suppressed. Cellular homeostasis was imbalanced via post-transcriptional dysregulation of the phagosome and peroxisome pathways. Cellular structure and communication was seriously impacted by post-transcriptional downregulation of ECM-receptor interaction and focal adhesion pathways. In conclusion, H. perezi parasites could trigger striking changes in the miRNome and proteome of crustacean hemocytes, and this parasite exhibited multifaceted immunomodulatory effects and potential immune-suppressive mechanisms in crustacean hosts.

Abstract
Shrimp are a valuable aquaculture species globally; however, disease remains a major hindrance to shrimp aquaculture sustainability and growth. Mechanisms mediated by endogenous viral elements have been proposed as a means by which shrimp that encounter a new virus start to accommodate rather than succumb to infection over time. However, evidence on the nature of such endogenous viral elements and how they mediate viral accommodation is limited. More extensive genomic data on Penaeid shrimp from different geographical locations should assist in exposing the diversity of endogenous viral elements. In this context, reported here is a PacBio Sequel-based draft genome assembly of an Australian black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) inbred for 1 generation. The 1.89 Gbp draft genome is comprised of 31,922 scaffolds (N50: 496,398 bp) covering 85.9% of the projected genome size. The genome repeat content (61.8% with 30% representing simple sequence repeats) is almost the highest identified for any species. The functional annotation identified 35,517 gene models, of which 25,809 were protein-coding and 17,158 were annotated using interproscan. Scaffold scanning for specific endogenous viral elements identified an element comprised of a 9,045-bp stretch of repeated, inverted, and jumbled genome fragments of infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus bounded by a repeated 591/590 bp host sequence. As only near complete linear ∼4 kb infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus genomes have been found integrated in the genome of P. monodon previously, its discovery has implications regarding the validity of PCR tests designed to specifically detect such linear endogenous viral element types. The existence of joined inverted infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus genome fragments also provides a means by which hairpin double-stranded RNA could be expressed and processed by the shrimp RNA interference machinery.

Abstract
Sesarmops sinensis is a dominant omnivorous crab species, which plays an important ecological function in salt marsh ecosystems. To better understand its immune system and immune related genes under pathogen infection, the transcriptome was analyzed by comparing the data of S. sinensis hepatopancreas stimulated by PBS and PGN. A set of assembly and annotation identified 39,039 unigenes with an average length of 1105 bp, obtaining 1300 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in all, which included 466 remarkably up-regulated unigenes and 834 remarkably down-regulated unigenes. In addition, based on mensurable real time-polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing, several immune responsive genes were found to be markedly up-regulated under PGN stimulation. In conclusion, in addition to enriching the existing transcriptome data of S. sinensis, this study also clarified the immune response of S. sinensis to PGN stimulation, which will help us to further understand the crustacean's immune system.

Abstract
Outbreaks of infectious disease in shrimp pose a serious threat to shrimp agriculture worldwide. Shrimp lack adaptive immunity and depend only on innate immunity as a defense system against infectious disease. Toll-like receptors (TLR) are reported to play a critical role in the innate immune system. In this study, we identified a Toll-like receptor gene of a species of freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium nipponense, designated MnToll, for the first time. The sequence of MnToll encoded 935 residues arranged as 10 leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains, a leucine-rich repeat C-terminal (LRR CT) domain and a Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain and displayed 90% amino acid similarity to previously identified TLRs (Toll 1 and 2) of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. We additionally evaluated mRNA expression of MnToll in various tissues, including heart, gills, stomach, digestive gland, ventral nerve cord, antennal gland and muscle. Following infection with a viral pathogen, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), MnToll expression was significantly upregulated between 12 and 72 h. Our data collectively suggest that the newly identified MnToll gene belongs to the TLR family in shrimp and is potentially involved in innate host defense, especially against WSSV.

Abstract
Despite the considerable number of genetic markers published for Penaeus vannamei, the classification of these markers and their standardization in specific databases is still insufficient. As a consequence, access to these markers is difficult, hampering their application in genetic association studies. In this study, all previously described single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to resistance for P. vannamei were revised, and 512 SNPs were identified and classified in detail. We observed that most of the SNPs occurred in the proteins including Toll like receptors 1 and 3, hemocyanin large and small subunits, and anti-lipopolysaccharide factors 1 and 2, allowing to propose to use them as targets in association studies involving resistance in P. vannamei. Additionally, the potential effects of the most frequent non-synonymous coding SNPs in the secondary structure of the main target proteins were evaluated using an in silico approach. These data can serve as the starting point for the development of new genetic and computational tools as well as for the design of new association studies that involve resistance in P. vannamei.

Abstract
In recent years, the importance of viral and host microRNAs (miRNAs) in mediating viral replication and control of host cellular machinery, has been realised and increasing efforts have been taken in order to understand the interactions of miRNAs from host and pathogen during infection. However, all existing studies has thus far been conducted in controlled experimental conditions and the veracity of these data for field conditions are yet to be established. In this framework, small RNA sequencing was performed to identify the miRNAs involved in shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) immune responses under two different WSSV infection conditions of natural infection and experimentally challenged conditions. The expression profiles of miRNAs of shrimp infected with WSSV under two contrasting conditions were compared and as a result, 23365 known miRNAs and 481 novel miRNAs were identified. Amongst the most abundantly expressed miRNAs, the hypoxia related miR-210 and immune pathway related miR-29b were expressed only in infected shrimps of both conditions. miR-8-5p, having a functional role in modulation of chitin biosynthesis was exclusively represented in higher numbers in the WSSV -infected shrimps under natural conditions whilst four of the miRNAs (mja-miR-6493-5p, mja-miR-6492, mmu-miR-3968, tcf-miR-9b-5p) identified from shrimps collected from pond culture targeted chitinase, an important enzyme involved in growth and moulting in shrimps, indicating an interaction between WSSV infection and moult cycle under culture conditions. Some of the miRNAs (tca-miR-87b-3p, cte-miR-277a) and miRNAs belonging to class miR-9, miR-981 that were identified only in WSSV infected shrimps under experimental conditions, are known to respond against WSSV infection in shrimps. Moreover, the miRNA target prediction revealed several immune-related gene targets such as cathepsin, c-type lectin, haemocyanin and ubiquitin protein ligase were commonly identified under both the conditions. However, the miRNAs identified from challenge experiment had wide number of gene targets as compared to the miRNAs of natural infection. The shrimp miRNA mja-miR-6489-3p, was also found to target early virus gene wsv001 of WSSV. Our study, therefore, provides the comparative analysis of miRNA expression from shrimp during WSSV infection in two different conditions.

Abstract
Viruses are important and lethal pathogens that hamper aquatic animals. The result of the battle between host and virus would determine the occurrence of diseases. The host will fight against virus infection with various responses such as innate immunity, adaptive immunity, apoptosis, and so on. On the other hand, the virus also develops numerous strategies such as immune evasion to antagonize host antiviral responses. Here, We review the research advances on virus mediated immune evasions to host responses containing interferon response, NF-κB signaling, apoptosis, and adaptive response, which are executed by viral genes, proteins, and miRNAs from different aquatic animal viruses including Alloherpesviridae, Iridoviridae, Nimaviridae, Birnaviridae, Reoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae. Thus, it will facilitate the understanding of aquatic animal virus mediated immune evasion and potentially benefit the development of novel antiviral applications.

Abstract
The mudflat crab Helice tientsinensis is one of the most economically important aquaculture species in China. Nevertheless, it is susceptible to various diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and rickettsia-like organisms. A better understanding of the immune system and genes related to the responses to bacterial and viral infection is required. Herein, the hepatopancreas transcriptome of H. tientsinensis was analyzed by comparing control and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RNA-Seq data, yielding 91,885,038 bp and 13.78 Gb of clean reads. Following assembly and annotation, 93,207 unigenes with an average length of 883 bp were identified, of which 31,674 and 13,700 were annotated in Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases, respectively. Following LPS, 4845 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which 2491 and 2354 were up- and down-regulated, respectively. To further investigate immune-related DEGs, KEGG enrichment analysis identified immune response pathways, most notably the peroxisome and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Quantitative real time-PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed the up-regulation of a random selection of DEGs. This systematic transcriptomic analysis of the innate immune pathway in H. tientsinensis expands our understanding of the immune system in crabs.

Comparative transcriptional analysis and RNA interference reveal immunoregulatory pathways involved in growth of the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense. COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY D-GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2018; 29:24-31. [PMID: 30412850 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2018.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2018] [Revised: 10/14/2018] [Accepted: 10/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
A source of premium animal protein, crustaceans are widely distributed and cultivated around the world. Short-term or long-term starvation events occur frequently owing to natural environment changes or manual management strategies in the life cycle of crustaceans. The result induced by starvation is that somatic growth of crustaceans will be retarded, while the immune mechanism is activated in this process. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the immune regulatory pathways are involved in the growth of crustaceans. Twelve muscle tissue transcriptomes of the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense were sequenced across four fasting stages lasting 0, 7, 14 and 21 d. The results showed that three immune-related pathways were involved in the growth of M. nipponense by regulating actin expression inducing the chemokine signaling pathway, the leukocyte transendothelial migration pathway and the FcR-mediated phagocytosis pathway. Furthermore, we employed RNA interference (RNAi) to further verify the effects that genes involved in the pathways had on regulating growth of M. nipponense. Comparative transcriptional analysis and RNA interference reveal that VASP and WAVE positively regulated the expression of actin; however, WASP negatively regulated the expression of actin. This is the first report that the immune regulatory pathways play key roles in the growth of crustaceans. Our results will not only provide an entirely new understanding of the immune mechanism of crustaceans from a unique angle but also further enrich and develop the theory of growth and developmental biology in crustaceans.
