RNA interference analysis of potential functions of cyclin A in the reproductive development of male oriental river prawns (Macrobrachium nipponense).

ABSTRACT: Cyclin A (CycA) plays essential roles in regulating multiple steps of the cell cycle, and it affects gonad development in mammals and invertebrates. Previous RNA interference (RNAi) analysis revealed that knocking-down the expression of CycA in female oriental river prawns (Macrobrachium nipponense) inhibited ovarian development. CycA was also predicted to have regulatory roles in reproductive development of male M. nipponense based on significant changes of Mn-CycA expression after eyestalk ablation. The goal of this study was to investigate the potential functions of CycA in the reproductive development of male M. nipponense using RNAi and histological observations. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that both single-side
