Characterization of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-5 (IGFBP-5) Gene and Its Potential Roles in Ontogenesis in the Pacific Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai.

ABSTRACT: Insulin-like growth factor binding protein family is known to be involved in regulating biological actions of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). In the present study, a full-length cDNA encoding the IGFBP-5 gene was cloned and characterized from the cerebral ganglion of Haliotis discus hannai. The 921-bp full-length sequence of Hdh IGFBP-5 cDNA transcript had an open reading frame of 411 bp encoding a predicted polypeptide of 136 amino acids, sharing high sequence identities with IGFBP-5 of H. diversicolor. The deduced Hdh IGFBP-5 protein contained a putative transmembrane domain (13-35 aa) in the N-terminal region. It also possessed a signature domain of IGFBP protein family (IB domain, 45-120 aa). Six cysteine residues (Cys-47, Cys-55, Cys-73, Cys-85, Cys-98, and Cys-118) in this cloned sequence could potentially form an intrachain disulfide bond. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Hdh IGFBP-5 gene was robustly clustered with IGFBP-5 of H. diversicolor. Tissue distribution analysis based on qPCR assay showed that Hdh IGFBP-5 was widely expressed in all examined tissues, with significantly (p < 0.05) higher expression in the cerebral ganglion. In male and female gametogenetic cycles, Hdh IGFBP-5 mRNA was expressed at all stages, showing significantly higher level at ripening stage. The expression level of Hdh IGFBP-5 mRNA was significantly higher in the polar body stage than in other ontogenic stages. In situ hybridization revealed that Hdh IGFBP-5 mRNA was present in the neurosecretory cells of the cerebral ganglion. This is the first study describing IGFBP-5 in H. discus hannai that might be synthesized in the neural ganglia. Our results demonstrate Hdh IGFBP-5 is involved in regulating ontogenic development and reproductive regulation of H. discus hannai.

Project description:Abalone amyotrophia is a viral disease that causes mass mortality of juvenile Haliotis discus and H. madaka. Although the cause of this disease has yet to be identified, we had previously postulated a novel virus with partial genome sequence similarity to that of African swine fever virus is the causative agent and proposed abalone asfa-like virus (AbALV) as a provisional name. In this study, three species of juvenile abalone (H. gigantea, H. discus discus, and H. diversicolor) and four species of adult abalone (the above three species plus H. discus hannai) were experimentally infected, and their susceptibility to AbALV was investigated by recording mortality, quantitatively determining viral load by PCR, and conducting immunohistological studies. In the infection test using 7-month-old animals, H. gigantea, which was previously reported to be insusceptible to the disease, showed multiplication of the virus to the same extent as in H. discus discus, resulting in mass mortality. H. discus discus at 7 months old showed abnormal cell masses, notches in the edge of the shell and brown pigmentation inside of the shell, which are histopathological and external features of this disease, while H. gigantea did not show any of these characteristics despite suffering high mortality. Adult abalones had low mortality and viral replication in all species; however, all three species, except H. diversicolor, became carriers of the virus. In immunohistological observations, cells positive for viral antigens were detected predominantly in the gills of juvenile H. discus discus and H. gigantea, and mass mortality was observed in these species. In H. diversicolor, neither juvenile nor adult mortality from infection occurred, and the AbALV genome was not increased by experimental infection through cohabitation or injection. Our results suggest that H. gigantea, H. discus discus and H. discus hannai are susceptible to AbALV, while H. diversicolor is not. These results confirmed that AbALV is the etiological agent of abalone amyotrophia.
