The main four PRRs components including Toll-like receptors(TLRs), RIG-I-like receptors(RLRs), NOD-like receptors(NLRs) and C-type lectin receptors(CLRs) were surveyed in the five genomes of non-teleost ray-finned fishes(NTR) including bichir(Polypterus senegalus), American paddlefish(Polyodon spathula), alligator gar(Atractosteus spatula), spotted gar(Lepisosteus oculatus) and bowfin(Amia calva), representing all the four major basal groups of ray-finned fishes. The result indicates that all the four PRRs components have been well established in these NTR fishes. In the RLR-MAVS signal pathway, which detects intracellular RNA ligands to induce production of type I interferons(IFNs), the MAVS was lost in bichir particularly. Also, the essential genes of recognition of Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) commonly in mammals like MD2, LY96 and LBP could not be identified in NTR fishes. It is speculated that TLR4 in NTR fishes may act as a cooperator with other PRRs and has a different pathway of recognizing LPS compared with that in mammals. In addition, we provide a survey of NLR and CLR in NTR fishes. The CLRs results suggest that Group V receptors are absent in fishes and Group II and VI receptors are well established in the early vertebrate evolution. Our comprehensive research of PRRs involving NTR fishes provides a new insight into PRR evolution in primitive vertebrate.展开更多

文摘利用转录组技术对鰤诺卡氏菌(Nocardia seriolae)感染的乌鳢(Channa argus)进行分析与比较,以揭示可能的免疫机制,尤其在Toll样受体和Nod样受体的免疫反应.从乌鳢的头肾提取总RNA,采用Illumina Hi Seq TM2500进行测序和de novo转录组分析.乌鳢感染鰤诺卡氏菌后,对照组和试验组的clean reads分别是33 556 284(93.79%)和34 202 766(93.52%).利用Trinity软件对unigenes进行注释,从133 999条unigenes里,一共106319条unigenes得到注释,占79.34%;NR(NCBI non-redundant protein database)注释54 886(40.97%)条unigenes;39 795(29.69%)的Swiss-Prot注释;5 885(4.39%)条unigenes被KEGG(Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes)注释到335条通路;5 753(4.29%)被注释到GO(Gene ontology)里.3 912条unigenes表达差异,其中1552条表达上调(39.67%)和2 360条表达下调(60.33%).Toll样受体和Nod样受体的免疫信号通路分别有28和13条差别表达基因发现有调制,12和3个上调,11和6个下调,5和4个unigenes没有显著的变化.经过转录组测序分析显示,乌鳢感染鰤诺卡氏菌后的转录复杂程度高,导致感染个体重诱导表达的基因产品的验证发现,尤其在非特异性免疫系统方面.
