Construction of SSH library from haemocyte of variously colored abalone challenged with bacteria and differential expression analysis of macrophage expressed protein

Abstract

以雌性杂色鲍为对象,以大肠杆菌、副溶血弧菌、溶壁微球菌、表皮葡萄球菌、金黄色葡萄球菌的混悬液做为攻毒菌,利用抑制性差减杂交(SSH)技术构建细菌攻毒的杂色鲍血淋巴细胞SSHcDNA文库。随机挑取生长菌落110个克隆子,进行菌液PCR鉴定,计算文库重组率为98.18%,文库容量为1.37×106pfu。将重组子测序,经BLAST一致性搜索比对分析,有一重组片段含有穿孔素(Perforin)保守结构域,为巨噬细胞表达蛋白(MEP)类穿孔素部分cDNA序列,片段大小为1551bp,连续编码517个氨基酸残基,申请GenBank登录号为EU272049。经半定量PCR和荧光定量PCR差异显示分析,发现在细菌感染状态下MEP基因在血淋巴细胞中存在明显的上调表达现象。Abalones are considered to be the most precious delicacy from the sea, and become very important commercial seafood in aquaculture worldwide. Variously colored abalone (Haliotis diversicolor Reeve, 1846) has been widely cultured on the southeast coast for more than twenty years. However, abalone culture frequently suffers from bacterial infection and mass mortality of reared abalones causes serious economic losses. Unfortunately, knowledge of the defense mechanism in this animal is still lacking. In this study, using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technology, a forward SSH li-brary was constructed from haemocytes of H. diversicolor, with the content of 1.37×106 pfu and the recombinant rate of98.18%. After the recombinant plasmids were sequenced, partial cDNA of macrophage expressed protein (MEP) was recognized based on BLAST searches in NCBI, with the size of 1 551 bp, and continuously encoding 517 amino acids. Semi-quantitative PCR and quantitative real-time PCR results showed that MEP cDNA was distinctly up-regulated in haemocytes of the bacterial-challenged group compared to the unchallenged group. The gene information obtained from this library will provide new insights into the immune mechanism of H. diversicolor and facilitate future study of target genes involved in the response to invading microorganisms.国家高技术研究发展计划项目(863计划)(编号:2007AA091406)资助~
