Comparison of Gene Expression Profiles of Fenneropenaeus chinensis Challenged with WSSV and Vibrio

Microarray technique was used to analyze the gene expression profiles of shrimp when they were challenged by WSSV and heat-inactivated Vibrio anguillarum, respectively. At 6 h post challenge (HPC), a total of 806 clones showed differential expression profile in WSSV-challenged samples, but not in Vibrio-challenged samples. The genes coding energy metabolism enzyme and structure protein were the most downregulated elements in 6 h post WSSV-challenged (HPC-WSSV) tissues. However, a total of 155 clones showed differential expression in the Vibrio-challenged samples, but not in WSSV-challenged samples. Serine-type endopeptidase and lysosome-related genes were the most upregulated elements in tissues 6 h post Vibrio challenge (HPC-Vibrio). Totally, 188 clones showed differential expression in both 6 and 12 HPC-WSSV and HPC-Vibrio samples. Most of the differentially expressed genes (185/188) were downregulated in the samples of 12 HPC-WSSV, whereas upregulated in the samples at 6 and 12 HPC-Vibrio and 6 HPC-WSSV. The expression profiles of three differentially expressed genes identified in microarray hybridization were analyzed in hemocytes, lymphoid organ, and hepatopancreas of shrimp challenged by WSSV or Vibrio through real-time PCR. The results further confirmed the microarray hybridization results. The data will provide great help for us in understanding the immune mechanism of shrimp responding to WSSV or Vibrio.

Microsatellite-centromere distances and microsatellite diversity in different ploidy classes of Chinese shrimp (Fenneropenaeus Chinensis)

This is the first report of microsatellite-centromere mapping in this commercial species Fenneropenaeus Chinensis, and will be important for providing fixed points in the linkage groups of genetic maps. Triploid Chinese shrimp was induced by heat shock. The fertilized eggs were treated either by retention of the first polar body or the second polar body to produce Meiosis I (MI) or Meiosis II (MII) triploid. The triploidy status in each Chinese shrimp could be confirmed by nine polymorphic microsatellite loci, in which the parents with different alleles and the female parents were each heterozygous. The nine loci were mapped in relation to their centromeres in three MII triploid families, which were induced by retention of the second polar bodies after fertilization with sperm. Microsatellite-centromere (M-C) distances ranged from 9.6 cM to 37 cM under the assumption of complete interference. Information on the positions of centromeres in relation to the microsatellite loci will represent a contribution towards assembly of genetic maps in F. chinensis. Twelve polymorphic microsatellites were used to assess the heterozygosity and allelic diversity in different ploidy classes. As expected, triploids were significantly more polymorphic than diploids. The diploids had an average heterozygosity and allelic diversity value of 0.86, whereas the triploids heterozygosity averaged 0.93 and had allelic diversity value of 1.29. However, MI triploids were not significantly more polymorphic than MII in the microsatellite loci.     

Application of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) to cloning differentially expressed cDNA inDunaliella salina (chlorophyta) under hyperosmotic shock

Two subtracted cDNA libraries ofDunaliella salina (Volvocales, Chlorophyceae) under different hyperosmotic shock were constructed using the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method. The mRNA isolated from algae grown without stress was used as a “driver”, and the mRNAs isolated from algae 16 h (short-term treatment) or 7 d (long-term treatment) after salt stress were used as “testers”. The differentially expressed cDNA fragments inD. salina under salt stress were identified by screening these 2 libraries. Two cDNA fragments,D27 andD114, were identified from clones pL27 and pL114 after the long-term treatment. Three cDNA fragments,D21, D39, andD88, were identified from clones pSh21, pSh39, and pSh88 after the short-term treatment. The homology analysis revealed that D27 was highly similar (91%) to the subunit V of PS I reaction center inChlamydomonas reinhardtii. D21 was similar to fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase (78.4%). After searching GenBank with the sequences ofD39, D88, andD114, no similar sequences were found. Northern analysis revealed that the expression levels of all 5 cDNAs were increased significantly after salt stress. This means that SSH can be used in cloning differentially expressed cDNAs inD. salina under salt stress. The expression ofD27, D21, andD88 wasde novo induced by salt stress, and the expression ofD114 andD39 was increased from a relatively lower level; this indicates that all 5 cDNAs might exert an influence on the alga under hyperosmotic shock.     

Sequencing and Amplified Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Ribonucleotide Reductase Large Subunit Gene of the White Spot Syndrome Virus in Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) from American Coastal Waters

In the present study, the existence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) collected from 3 different American coastal waters (New York, New Jersey, and Texas) was confirmed by 2-step diagnostic polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization analysis. When geographic isolates were also compared using a gene that encodes the WSSV ribonucleotide reductase large subunit RR1 (WSSV rr1), a C¹⁶⁶¹-to-T point mutation was found in the New Jersey WSSV isolated. This point mutation, which resulted in the creation of an additional RsaI endonuclease recognition site, was not found in the WSSV from the New York and Texas blue crab samples, or in the WSSV Taiwan isolate, or in any of the other WSSV geographical isolates for which data are available. WSSV rr1-specific RsaI amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism of an amplified 1156-bp fragment thus distinguished the New Jersey blue crab samples from the other WSSV isolates.

Penaeus monodon chitin-binding protein (PmCBP) is involved in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) can cause the most serious viral disease of shrimp and has a wide host range among crustaceans. Although researches show a lot about its genome and structure, information concerning the mechanism of how WSSV infects' cells is lacking. In this study, some experiments were applied to confirm the biological meaning of the protein–protein interaction between WSSV envelope protein, VP53A, and Penaeus monodon chitin-binding protein (PmCBP). Immunofluorescent study indicated that PmCBP is located on the cell surface of host cells. PmCBP amounts of about 34 kDa can be detected in both P. monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei tissues by Western blotting. In the in vivo neutralization experiment, both rVP53A and rPmCBP that were produced by Esherichia coli can promote resp. a 40% and 20% survival rate of the shrimp which were challenged by WSSV. Furthermore, a yeast-two-hybrid result revealed that PmCBP could interact with at least 11 WSSV envelope proteins. Those findings suggest that PmCBP may be involved in WSSV infection.
