摘要: 为探究鱼类对哈维氏弧菌(Vibrio harveyi)的免疫响应机制,本研究以小黄鱼(Larimichthys polyactis)为对象,对哈维氏弧菌感染后的肝、鳃丝和皮肤进行转录组测序与组织病理学观察。结果显示,感染小黄鱼体表出现鳞片脱落和皮肤溃烂,鳃丝呈现严重充血。镜检下发现,皮肤表层组织坏死,鳃小片上皮细胞坏死且结构破坏,肝实质萎缩并伴随肝细胞空泡变性。转录组分析表明,感染小黄鱼的肝、鳃丝和皮肤中的多个免疫相关信号通路被激活,包括细胞外基质(ECM)受体相互作用、JAK-STAT信号通路、细胞因子-细胞因子受体相互作用、核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域(nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain,NOD)样受体信号通路、RIG-I样受体信号通路、Toll样受体信号通路和胞质DNA感知通路等。本研究从基因和信号通路层面揭示了哈维氏弧菌感染引起小黄鱼多组织病理损伤的分子机制,为后续研究相关病害防控策略提供了参考依据。

Abstract:

To investigate the immune response mechanisms of fish to Vibrio harveyi, this study used small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) as the material, and transcriptome sequencing and histopathological examination were conducted on the liver, gill filament, and skin after infection with Vibrio harveyi. The results showed that infected fish exhibited scale detachment, skin ulceration, and severe gill congestion. Microscopic examination revealed necrosis of the skin surface, necrosis of gill epithelial cells and structural damage in the gill lamellae, atrophy of liver parenchyma, and vacuolar degeneration of liver cells. Transcriptome analysis indicated the activation of multiple immune-related signaling pathways in the liver, gills, and skin of infected fish, including ECM receptor interaction, JAK-STAT signaling pathway, cytokine cytokine receptor interaction, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling pathway, RIG-I like receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and cytoplasmic DNA sensing pathway. This study elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying the multi-tissue pathological damage induced by V. harveyi infection in small yellow croaker at the gene and signaling pathway levels, providing a theoretical basis for future research on disease prevention and control strategies.
