Extracellular trap formation in kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus) hemocytes is coupled with c-type lysozyme.
Fish & Shellfish Immunology 2016 May
In invertebrates, hemocytes play an important role in immune responses. Recently, a novel form of innate immune mechanism called extracellular traps (ETs) was identified in shrimps, where DNA and antimicrobial peptides form complex structure to entrap the invading microbes. In this study, we detected the formation of ETs from hemocytes of kuruma shrimp in response to various stimulations, including phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan (PGN) and Escherichia coli. E. coli cells were also found to be trapped by ET fibers. Fluorescence imaging revealed that c-type lysozyme proteins were released around the ET complex after E. coli stimulation, suggesting the presence of a coupled antimicrobial immune response involving ET formation and AMP release.
