摘要:

【目的】为揭示双氧化酶2(DUOX 2)在克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)肠道中对活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)水平的调节功能,以及对体内抗菌肽基因表达的影响。【方法】首先通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(real-time quantitative PCR, RT-qPCR)检测金黄色葡萄球菌(Staphylococcus aureus)感染后的血细胞、肝胰腺、肠、鳃组织中Duox 2基因的表达。RNA干扰后金黄色葡萄球菌刺激克氏原螯虾,统计其存活率,以及对血淋巴中细菌清除能力涂板观察,并且利用荧光探针2', 7'-二氯二氢荧光素二乙酸酯(2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate,DCFH-DA)测定克氏原螯虾肠道中的ROS水平。最后通过RT-qPCR检测肠道中抗菌肽相关基因(Pc-toll 1Pc-toll 3Pc-ALF 1Pc-lysozyme)的表达。【结果】在金黄色葡萄球菌刺激下,克氏原螯虾的Duox 2基因表达在血细胞、肝胰腺、肠、鳃中显著升高。并且RNA干扰技术抑制Duox 2基因的表达后,克氏原螯虾对金黄色葡萄球菌的抵抗力下降,存活率降低,血淋巴中细菌数量增加。此外,Duox 2基因表达降低导致肠道ROS表达的上升水平受到抑制,并且抗菌肽相关基因的表达水平受到抑制,证实了Duox 2在调控克氏原螯虾免疫防御中的重要作用。【结论】Duox 2通过调节克氏原螯虾肠道内的ROS水平,对机体抗菌肽相关基因的表达产生影响,从而调控体内金黄色葡萄球菌的清除能力。Duox 2对克氏原螯虾抵御金黄色葡萄球菌感染的先天免疫反应有重要作用。

Abstract:

【Objective】To reveal the regulatory function of Dual Oxidase 2(DUOX2)in the intestine of the Procambarus clarkii on the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS), as well as its impact on the expression of antimicrobial peptide genes.【Method】Initially, the expressions of the Duox 2 gene in hemocytes, hepatopancreas, intestine, and gill tissues following Staphylococcus aureus infection were detected using quantitative real-time PCR(RT-qPCR). After RNA interference and subsequent stimulation with S. aureus, the survival rate of the P. clarkii was statistically analyzed, along with the bacterial clearance capability in the hemolymph observed on culture plates. Furthermore, the ROS levels in the P. clarkii intestine were measured using the fluorescent probe 2', 7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA). Finally, the expression changes of antimicrobial peptide-related genes(Pc-toll 1, Pc-toll 3, Pc-ALF 1, and Pc-lysozyme)in the intestine were detected through RT-qPCR.【Result】Under the stimulation of S. aureus, the expression of the Duox 2 gene in P. clarkii significantly increased in hemocytes, hepatopancreas, intestine, and gills. Furthermore, after the expression of the Duox 2 gene was suppressed using RNA interference technology, the resistance of P. clarkii to S. aureus decreased, the survival rate dropped, and the number of bacteria in the hemolymph increased. Moreover, the reduction in Duox 2 gene expression led to the suppression of ROS levels in the intestine, and the expressions of antimicrobial peptide-related genes were also suppressed, further confirming the important role of Duox 2 in regulating the immune defense of P. clarkii.【Conclusion】Duox 2 gene regulates the expression of antimicrobial peptide-related genes by modulating the levels of ROS in the P. clarkii intestine, thereby controlling the body's ability to clear S. aureus. Therefore, Duox 2 plays an important role in the innate immune response of P. clarkii against S. aureus infection.
