Article Abstract
Mytilus live in water as sessile filter feeders, and the mantle tissue plays an important role in their immune defense. However, the overall knowledge of the immunity of this tissue remains limited. Peptidoglycan (PGN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are the most representative microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) that play roles in the immune stimulation of host cells. In the present study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS)-based metabolomic analysis was performed to understand the precise regulatory mechanism at the molecular level in the Mytilus mantle in response to PGN and LPS stress. Moreover, the antioxidant ability and free amino acid composition of the mantle, and the antimicrobial activities of mantle mucus were evaluated. Our results revealed that LPS and PGN stresses had different effects on the mantle's free amino acid composition and antioxidant ability, and the mantle mucus' antimicrobial activity. Both PGN and LPS stress-induced alterations in amino acids, phospholipids, fatty acids, nucleotides, and their derivatives in the mantle. PGN injection activated the amino acid-related metabolism, and inhibited the lipid-related metabolisms in the mantle, while LPS injection activated the amino acid-related metabolisms and inhibited the arachidonic acid metabolism in the mantle compared to that in the control group. In addition, activation of the mTOR and FoxO signaling pathways and inhibition of lipid-related metabolism were observed in PGN vs. LPS. In addition, PGN injection induced the upregulation of fosfomycin and deoxynojirimycin in the mantle compared to LPS injection. Our study highlights the different responses at the metabolomic level of the mussel mantle to different MAMPs and the potential application of metabolites that specifically respond to PGN and LPS challenges in mussels as biomarkers.

Introduction: Galectin-9 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin that functions as a critical pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the host immune system, initiating immune defense responses by recognizing and binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of microorganisms. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel galectin-9 cDNA, designated CcGal-9, from Yellow River carp ().
Methods: The full-length CcGal-9 cDNA was cloned and sequenced, and its structural features were analyzed.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors (TRAFs), as key signal transducers, play a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, current research on the systematic identification of the TRAF family and its functional role in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) is relatively unexplored. In this study, TRAF family members were first identified in A.

Background: Kostmann syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation of the () gene, and characterized by low number of neutrophils and increased susceptibility to infections. Additionally, Kostmann syndrome is known to be complicated by periodontitis, though the etiological molecular basis remains unclear. We previously reported findings showing that junctional adhesion molecule 1 (JAM1), a tight junction-associated protein, has an important role to maintain epithelial barrier function in gingival tissues, which prevents penetration of bacterial virulence factors, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN).

Unlabelled: DM9 domain containing protein (DM9CP) is a recently discovered novel pattern recognition receptor (PRR) with the ability to recognize various microbes, but its role as a cytosolic PRR to track the invading microbes and trigger signaling pathway is still not clear. In the present study, a DM9CP (designated as DM9CP-6) and an intracellular regulatory molecule, 14-3-3 (designated as 14-3-3ε) were identified from oyster , which contained two tandem DM9 repeats and a 14-3-3ε domain, respectively. DM9CP-6 and 14-3-3ε were higher expressed in haemocytes, and their mRNA expression levels increased significantly after stimulation.

The caspase family play a crucial role in both apoptosis signaling and immune response. In the present study, a caspase-8 was identified from Crassostrea gigas (designed as CgCaspase-8-3), which contained two tandem death effector domains (DEDs) and a CASc domain, as well as conserved cysteine active site motif "QACQG". CgCaspase-8-3 was initially clustered with molluscan Caspase-8 homologs, and subsequently grouped with vertebrate sequences, while maintaining a relatively distant phylogenetic relationship from the mammalian clade.
