Abstract
The caspase10 encodes an initiating caspase that plays an important role in the
maintaining the cellular homeostasis by regulating the steps involved in the
immune response and cell death. We investigated the expression of caspase10
during the different developmental stages and in olive flounder tissues.
Caspase10 increased in the late stage of the formation of immune tissue, and
high expression was observed in the gills, kidney, skin, and spleen. The current
study analyzed the expressional changes of caspase10 in olive flounder infected
with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV). One of the major causes of mass
mortality, VHSV infection in olive flounder attributes to significant expression
of caspase10 in the gills, spleen, skin, and kidneys. The results indicate a
close association of caspase10 expression with the immune response to VHSV
infection in olive flounder. The observations could form the basis data for
exploration of other fish immune system.
