The Dmrt (double-sex and mab-3 related transcription factor) gene family is considered to be a highly conserved gene family related to sex determination and sexual differentiation across species. In order to better understand the role of the idmrt-2 gene in gonad development in Scylla paramamosain, the idmrt-2 gene was cloned and analyzed. The cDNA contains a 1659 bp ORF region encoding 552 amino acids. The qRT-PCR results showed that idmrt-2 was significantly more expressed in the testis than in other tissues (p 0.05). The expression of idmrt-2 was highest in the spermatids stage (T2 stage), followed by the mature sperms stage (T3 stage) and significantly higher than in the spermatocytes stage (T1 stage) (p 0.05) during testicular development and the expression difference was not significant in different stages of ovarian development. RNAi studies revealed that after idmrt-2 was knocked down, the expression of Dmrt-like and foxl-2 genes in the testis decreased, as well as IAG expression in the androgenic gland. The findings suggest that idmrt-2 may be an IAG regulator and involved in testicular development. |
