Popis: The aims of this research were to perform molecular characterization and biofunctional analyses of giant river prawn Hsp40 and Hsp90 genes (Mr-hsp40 and Mr-hsp90) under various stress conditions. Comparisons of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Mr-hsp40 and Mr-hsp90 with those of other species showed the highest similarity scores with crustaceans. Under normal conditions, expression analysis using quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) indicated that Mr-hsp40 was highly expressed in the gills and testis, and Mr-hsp90 expression was observed in all tissues, with the highest expression in the ovary. The expression patterns of Mr-hsp40 and Mr-hsp90 transcripts under Aeromonas hydrophila challenge and heat–cold shock conditions were examined in gills, the hepatopancreas and hemocytes, at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 h by qRT-PCR. Under bacterial challenge, Mr-hsp40 displayed variable expression patterns in all tissues examined during the tested periods. In contrast, upregulated expression of Mr-hsp90 was quickly observed from 3 to 12 h in the gills and hepatopancreas, whereas obviously significant upregulation of Mr-hsp90 was observed in hemocytes at 12–96 h. Under temperature shock conditions, upregulation of Mr-hsp40 expression was detected in all tested tissues, while Mr-hsp90 expression was quickly upregulated at 3–48 h in all tissues in response to 35 °C conditions, and conditions of 35 and 25 °C stimulated its expression in gills and the hepatopancreas at 12 and 48 h, respectively. Silencing analyses of these two genes were successfully conducted under normal, high-temperature (35 °C) and A. hydrophila infection conditions. Overall, knockdown of Mr-hsp40 and Mr-hsp90 effectively induced more rapid and higher mortality than in the PBS control and GFP induction groups in temperature and infectious treatments. Evidence from this study clearly demonstrated the significant functional roles of Mr-hsp40 and Mr-hsp90, which are crucially involved in cellular stress responses to both temperature and pathogenic bacterial stimuli.
