<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is a crucial adaptor protein of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)- and interleukin 1 receptor-mediated signaling pathways and is involved in a diverse array of inflammatory responses via NF-κB activation. In the present study, two MyD88 variants were identified from disk abalone (<I>Haliotis discus discus</I>) and designated AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X. The deduced AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X comprised 433 and 354 amino acids with predicted molecular masses of 48.85 kDa and 40.17 kDa, respectively. AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X possessed typical MyD88 domain structural features including an N-terminal death domain (DD) and C-terminal toll interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) domain similar to those in mammals. Expression analysis of <I>AbMyD88-2</I> and <I>AbMyD88-X</I> mRNA at different early embryonic developmental stages of abalone by qPCR revealed that their constitutive expression at all developmental stages analyzed with the considerably higher values at the 16-cell (<I>AbMyD88-</I>2) and morula stages (<I>AbMyD88-X</I>). In unchallenged disk abalones, <I>AbMyD88-2</I> was highly expressed in muscles, while <I>AbMyD88-X</I> mRNA was predominantly transcribed in hemocytes. Moreover, <I>AbMyD88-2</I> and <I>AbMyD88-X</I> mRNA were differentially modulated in abalone hemocytes after a challenge with live bacteria (<I>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</I>, <I>Listeria monocytogenes</I>), virus (viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus), and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (lipopolysaccharides and Poly I:C). Overexpression of AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X in HEK293T cells induced the activation of the NF-κB promoter. AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X involvement in inflammatory responses was characterized by their overexpression in RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells. These results revealed comparatively higher NO (Nitric oxide) production, induction of inflammatory mediator genes (<I>iNOS</I> and <I>COX2</I>), and proinflammatory genes (<I>IL1β, IL6</I> and <I>TNFα</I>) expression in abalone MyD88s-overexpressing cells than in mock control in the presence or absence of LPS stimulation. Altogether, these results suggest that existence of a MyD88-dependent like signaling pathway in disk abalone and that both AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X might be involved in innate immune and inflammatory responses.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Two MyD88 isoforms were identified from Disk abalone (AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X). </LI> <LI> AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X possessed typical MyD88 domain structural features. </LI> <LI> Both MyD88 isoforms were constitutive expressed at early embryonic developmental stages of disk abalone. </LI> <LI> The mRNA expression of AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X was differentially modulated upon immune stimulation in vivo. </LI> <LI> AbMyD88-2 and AbMyD88-X involved in inflammatory responses via NF-κB activation. </LI> </UL> </P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) and 4 (CXCR4) are members of the seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptor family, involved in pivotal physiological functions. In this study, seahorse <I>CXCR3</I> and <I>CXCR4</I> (designated as <I>HaCXCR3</I> and <I>HaCXCR4</I>) cDNA sequences were identified from the transcriptome library and subsequently molecularly characterized. <I>HaCXCR3</I> and <I>HaCXCR4</I> encoded 363 and 373 amino acid long polypeptides, respectively. The HaCXCR3 and HaCXCR4 deduced proteins have typical structural features of chemokine receptors, including seven transmembrane domains and a G protein coupled receptors family 1 profile with characteristic DRY motifs. Amino acid sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis of these two CXC chemokine receptors revealed a close relationship to their corresponding teleost counterparts. Quantitative real time PCR analysis revealed that <I>HaCXCR3</I> and <I>HaCXCR4</I> were ubiquitously expressed in all the tested tissues, with highest expression levels in blood cells. The seahorse blood cells and kidney <I>HaCXCR3</I> and <I>HaCXCR4</I> mRNA expressions were differently modulated when challenged with <I>Edwardsiella tarda</I>, <I>Streptococcus iniae</I>, lipopolysaccharide, and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid, confirming their involvement in post immune responses.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Full length coding sequences of CXC chemokine receptor 3 and 4 from Seahorse (HaCXCR3 and HaCXCR4) were identified. </LI> <LI> The HaCXCR3 and HaCXCR4 deduced proteins have typical structural features of chemokine receptors. </LI> <LI> The <I>HaCXCR3</I> and <I>HaCXCR4</I> mRNA was significantly up-regulated upon live pathogens and PAMPs in blood and kidney. </LI> </UL> </P>

Until recent, primordial germ cells(PGCs) are recognized only by morphological observation, such as their large size and low nucleocytoplasmic ratio. For the molecular analysis of the reproduction, it is important to identify a specific marker of germ cell development and differentiation. The VASA, which was first identified in Drosophila, is reported as a germ-line cell specific marker gene in animals. Many other researches verified its germ cell specific expression during embryogenesis and gametogenesis. VASA is a member of the DEAD(Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) protein family of ATP-dependent RNA helicase, and plays a critical role in germ-line cell linage. Vasa is expected to be an useful molecular marker for identification of PGCs in reproduction researches of aquaculture species. In this study, we isolated the vasa cDNA, and surveyed its gonad-specific expression in Paralichthys olivaceus. The full-length cDNA of P. olivaceus vasa cDNA was isolated and deduced amino acid sequence was compared to those of the other teleosts. It was 2,461bp long, consisted in 646 amino acids in its ORF region, 175bp of 5’-UTR, and 345bp 3’-UTR. Flounder VASA contained conserved DEAD box, arginine-glycine rich region, and other domains were found. Flounder vasa expressed strongly in the testis and ovary, confirming its property as an gonad-specific marker. These result is expected to be an useful marker for flounder reproduction research and related aquaculture industry.
