Popis: | NK-lysin, an effector of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), not only exhibits cytotoxic effect in fish cells, but also participates in the immune defense against pathogenic infection. In this study, ORF sequences of RCC-NK-lysin, WCC-NK-lysin and WR-NK-lysin were 369 bp. Tissue-specific analysis revealed that the highest expressions of RCC-NK-lysin and WCC-NK-lysin were observed in gill, while the peaked level of WR-NK-lysin mRNA was observed in spleen. A. hydrophila infection sharply increased RCC-NK-lysin, WCC-NK-lysin and WR-NK-lysin mRNA expression in liver, trunk kidney and spleen. In addition, elevated levels of NK-lysin mRNA were observed in cultured fin cell lines of red crucian carp (RCC), white crucian carp (WCC) and their hybrid offspring (WR) after Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. RCC-NK-lysin, WCC-NK-lysin and WR-NK-lysin exerted regulatory roles in inducing ROS generation, modulating mitochondrial membrane potential, decreasing fish cell viability and antagonizing survival signalings, respectively. RCC/WCC/WR-NK-lysin-overexpressing fish could up-regulate expressions of inflammatory cytokines and decrease bacterial loads in spleen. These results indicated that NK-lysin in hybrid fish contained close sequence similarity to those of its parents, possessing the capacities of cytotoxicity and immune defense against bacterial infection. |
