Transcriptome analysis of Pacific white shrimp (Liptopenaeus vannamei) after exposure to recombinant Vibrio parahaemolyticus PirA and PirB proteins. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 132:108502. [PMID: 36565998 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.108502] [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: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative bacterium commonly found in marine and estuarine environments and is endemic among the global shrimp aquaculture industry. V. parahaemolyticus proteins PirA and PirB have been determined to be major virulence factors that contribute significantly to the development of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease. Our previous work had demonstrated the lethality of recombinant PirA and PirB proteins to Pacific white shrimp (Liptopenaeus vannamei). To understand the host response to these proteins, recombinant PirA and PirB proteins were administered using a reverse gavage method and individual shrimp were then sampled over time. Shrimp hepatopancreas libraries were generated and RNA sequencing was performed on the control and recombinant PirA/B-treated samples. Differentially expressed genes were identified among the assayed time points. Differentially expressed genes that were co-expressed at the later time points (2-, 4- and 6-h) were also identified and gene associations were established to predict functional physiological networks. Our analysis reveals that the recombinant PirA and PirB proteins have likely initiated an early host response involving several cell survival signaling and innate immune processes.

LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 13:life13010010. [PMID: 36675957 PMCID: PMC9863881 DOI: 10.3390/life13010010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs) play an important role in the metabolism of steroids and xenobiotics. However, the function of HSDs in invertebrates is unclear. In this study, we cloned the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like 2 (HSDL2) gene in Perinereis aibuhitensis, which is 1652 bp in length, encoding 400 amino acids. This sequence contains conserved short-chain dehydrogenase and sterol carrier protein-2 domain, and the alignment analysis showed its close relationship with other invertebrate HSDL2. Further, the tissue distribution analysis of the HSDL2 gene showed it is expressed strongly in the intestine. The expression level of HSDL2 after inducement with bisphenol A (BPA) was also detected both at transcriptional and translational levels. The results inferred that BPA exposure can induce HSDL2 expression, and the inductive effect was obvious in the high-concentration BPA group (100 μg/L). In summary, our results showed the detoxification function of HSDL2 in polychaetes.

Wang Z, Wu Q, Liao G, Fan L. New insights into the regulation mechanism of Litopenaeus vannamei hepatopancreas after lipopolysaccharide challenge using transcriptome analyses. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 128:466-473. [PMID: 35987503 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.08.014] [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: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei) is the most economically valuable cultured shrimp in the world, while Gram-negative bacteria infection causes huge economic losses to shrimp culture. In this study, we performed transcriptome sequencing of the hepatopancreas in L. vannamei after lipopolysaccharide (LPS, the cell wall component of Gram-negative bacteria) injection to investigate the response of shrimp under Gram-negative bacteria invasion. A total of 306 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (70 up- and 236 down-regulated) were identified in the LPS treatment group (L group) when compared to their expression levels in the control group (C group). The oxidoreductase activity (GO:0016491) in the molecular function category was enriched in the LPS-responsive DEGs in GO annotation, and the metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 (ko00980) was the most enriched pathway in KEGG annotation. The transcriptome profiling revealed that the toll like receptor, C-type lectin receptor, and β-1,3-glucan binding protein were involved in the recognition of LPS during its early invasion stage. Although LPS could reduce the metabolic ability of exogenous substances, induce inflammation and reduce antioxidant capacity, L. vannamei could maintain its homeostasis by improving immunity, enhancing anti-stress ability and reducing apoptosis. Our research provides the first transcriptome profiling for the L. vannamei hepatopancreas after LPS injection. These results could offer a valuable reference on the mechanism of shrimp against Gram-negative bacteria and could provide guidance for shrimp farming.

KPNA2-Associated Immune Analyses Highlight the Dysregulation and Prognostic Effects of GRB2, NRAS, and Their RNA-Binding Proteins in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Front Genet 2020; 11:593273. [PMID: 33193737 PMCID: PMC7649362 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.593273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Karyopherin α2 (KPNA2) was reported to be overexpressed and have unfavorable prognostic effects in many malignancies including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although its contributions to inflammatory response were reported in many studies, its specific associations with immune infiltrations and immune pathways during cancer progression were unclear. Here, we aimed to identify new markers for HCC diagnosis and prognosis through KPNA2-associated immune analyses. RNA-seq expression data of HCC datasets were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas and International Cancer Genome Consortium. The gene expressions were counts per million normalized. The infiltrations of 24 kinds of immune cells in the samples were evaluated with ImmuCellAI (Immune Cell Abundance Identifier). The Spearman correlations of the immune infiltrations with KPNA2 expression were investigated, and the specific positive correlation of B-cell infiltration with KPNA2 expression in HCC tumors was identified. Fifteen genes in KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) B-cell receptor signaling pathway presented significant correlations with KPNA2 expression in HCC. Among them, GRB2 and NRAS were indicated to be independent unfavorable prognostic factors for HCC overall survival. Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium HCC dataset was investigated to validate the results at protein level. The upregulation and unfavorable prognostic effects of KPNA2 and GRB2 were confirmed, whereas, unlike its mRNA form, NRAS protein was presented to be downregulated and have favorable prognostic effects. Through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the diagnostic potential of the three proteins was shown. The RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) of KPNA2, NRAS, and GRB2, downloaded via The Encyclopedia of RNA Interactomes, were investigated for their clinical significance in HCC at protein level. An eight-RBP signature with independent prognostic value and dysregulations in HCC was identified. All the RBPs were significantly correlated with MKI67 expression and at least one of KPNA2, GRB2, and NRAS at protein level in HCC, indicating their roles in HCC progression and the regulation of the three proteins. We concluded that KPNA2, GRB2, NRAS, and their RBPs might have coordinating roles in HCC immunoregulation and progression. They might be new markers for HCC diagnosis and prognosis predication and new targets for HCC immunotherapy.
