Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2), a phospholipid hydrolase, has recently attracted attention owing to its broad functionality. Immunological evidence has revealed increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and immunodeficiency in knockout (KO) mice of several pla2 genes. However, no progress has been made in terms of immunological research on any pla2 gene in fish. In this study, we focused on the intestinal immune responses of fish PLA2s. The full-length open reading frames of pla2g1b, pla2g3, pla2g10, pla2g12b1, pla2g12b2, and pla2g15 cDNAs were cloned in Japanese medaka (Orizias latipes), and their gene expressions were quantified by real-time PCR (qPCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH). Characterization of pla2 genes revealed a functional domain and three-dimensional structure similar to the mammalian counterparts. In addition, expression of pla2g1b, pla2g12b1, and pla2g12b2 was extremely high in Japanese medaka intestines. ISH detected strong expression of pla2g1b mRNAs in the basal muscle layer, and pla2g12b1 and pla2g12b2 mRNAs were detected in the epithelial cells. In the medaka exposed to Edwardsiella piscicida, pla2g12b1, pla2g12b2 and pla2g15 were significantly induced in the anterior and posterior intestines, and pla2g1b was upregulated in the anterior intestine. Furthermore, pla2g1b, pla2g3, pla2g10, and pla2g12b2 were significantly downregulated in the IL-17A/F1 KO medaka compared to those in wild-type medaka. These results suggest that these PLA2s are involved in intestinal immunity in teleosts.

Abstract
Five group III secreted phospholipase (pla2g3s) homologous genes located on different linkage groups were identified from common carp (Cyprinus carpio), which we named Ccpla2g3a1, Ccpla2g3a2, Ccpla2g3b, Ccpla2g3c1 and Ccpla2g3c2. The five genes encode 530, 525, 461, 752 and 753 amino acids, respectively. Sequence analysis showed that the Ccpla2g3as contain seven exons and the others contain four exons. Synteny analysis of fish pla2g3s indicated that pla2g3a and pla2g3b were from the same ancestor gene, and Ccpla2g3a1, Ccpla2g3a2, Ccpla2g3c1 and Ccpla2g3c2 were from the specific genome duplication of common carp. Due to the significant variation of the pla2g3bs from common carp and zebrafish (Danio rerio), they formed a separate group in the phylogenetic tree. The tissue distributions of Ccpla2g3s coincided with their expression profiles during the embryo stages. The expression levels of Ccpla2g3as and Ccpla2g3cs were low at the embryo stages, and they were abundant in the liver and brain, respectively, whereas the expression of Ccpla2g3b was high at 0.5 h after fertilization and in the ovary. We obtained three soluble recombinant proteins of the bee venom-like PLA2 (BVLP) from Ccpla2g3 and evaluated their PLA2 enzyme properties. The optimum pHs of MBP-a1-BVLP, MBP-b-BVLP and MBP-c1-BVLP were 7.5, 7.0 and 8.0, respectively, and specific activities were 7.68 ± 0.66, 4.155 ± 0.158 and 1.93 ± 0.05 U μmol-1 , respectively. The Kd for Ca2+ of MBP-b-BVLP was the lowest (2.6 μM), whereas the values for both MBP-a1-BVLP and MBP-c1-BVLP were about 15 μM. The Km values of three proteins ranged from 31.9 to 41.91 μM.
