The transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a critical regulator of immune and inflammatory responses with crucial roles in various pathophysiologic conditions involving cell survival and death. Recent studies in mammals showed that NF-κB was also involved in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs)-mediated immune responses However, the mechanism by which NF-κB regulates PPARδ in teleosts remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed the potential role of NF-κB/p65 (Ecp65) in the immune response stimulated by various pathogens in the grouper Epinephelus coioides...

Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit alpha (IKKα) plays crucial roles in regulating activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in response to pathogens infections. Here, we cloned and identified IKKα gene of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides), named as EcIKKα. The gene transcript contained a 2262 bp open reading frame, which encoded 753 amino acids. The typically conserved IKKα structure, including serine kinase domain (KD), leucine chain (LZ) structure, helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif and IKKβ-NEMO-binding domain, was identified in EcIKKα...

In this study, we describe 19 different CC chemokine genes from the orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides, identified by the analysis of the spleen transcriptome. Multiple sequence alignment of the 19 CC chemokines showed that although two genes, EcSCYA115 and EcSCYA117, shared 80% amino acid similarity (72% identity), the majority exhibited low similarity to each other. Phylogenetic analysis divided the 19 CC chemokines into six major groups. Tissue distribution analysis by RT-PCR showed that most of these chemokines were ubiquitously expressed in the 9 examined tissues, whereas some exhibited tissue-preferential expression patterns...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important innate immune receptors that recognize multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and activate the immune responses to resist the invasion of pathogens. Many TLRs need assistance from trafficking chaperones to transport to the specific cell compartments and then are processed before they are activated. In this study, we identified an important trafficking chaperone, Unc-93 homolog B1 (unc93b1), from the Epinephelus coioides (orange-spotted grouper). The deduced protein sequence of Eco...

Antiviral immune responses are triggered by the innate immune recognition of viral infection. Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain containing adapter inducing interferon-β (TRIF) is an adapter in responding to activation of Toll-like receptors, which provides early clearance of viral pathogens. Our study focuses on the functional characterization of grouper TRIF (EcTRIF) based on the comparison of its sequence and functional evolution from grouper fish to mammals. The results show that the open reading frame of EcTRIF encoded a protein of 580 amino acids...

Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) regulates heat shock proteins (HSPs), which assist in protein folding and inhibit protein denaturation following stress. HSF1 was firstly cloned from orange-spotted grouper and exists as two isoforms, one with (osgHSF1a) and one without (osgHSF1b) exon 11. Heat exposure increased the expression of osgHSF1b while cold exposure increased that of osgHSF1a. Both isoforms were mainly expressed in the brains, eyes, and fins. Expression of osgHSF1b was higher than osgHSF1a during development...

A novel grouper immune gene, EcVig was identified in orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). We recently determined that EcVig expression can be induced by infection with nervous necrosis virus (NNV, an RNA virus), whereas NNV replication may be suppressed when EcVig was overexpressed. Although EcVig appeared to be involved in grouper antiviral activity, its immune effects have not been well characterized. In the present study, two PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns; lipopolysaccharides [LPS] and synthetic double-stranded RNA polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid [poly(I:C)]), as well as fish DNA virus (red sea bream iridovirus, RSIV; grouper iridovirus, GIV), were used to study EcVig responses in orange-spotted grouper...
