Integrated mRNA and miRNA transcriptomic analysis reveals the response of Rapana venosa to the metamorphic inducer (juvenile oysters).

ABSTRACT: Metamorphosis, as a critical developmental event, controls the population dynamics of most marine invertebrates, especially some carnivorous gastropods that feed on bivalves, whose population dynamics not only affect the maintenance of the ecological balance but also impact the protection of bivalve resources; therefore, the metamorphosis of carnivorous gastropods deserve attention. Here, we investigated the mechanism underlying the response of the carnivorous gastropod Rapana venosa to its metamorphic inducer juvenile oysters through integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA profiles. According to the results, we speculated that the AMPK signaling pathway may be the critical regulator in the response to juvenile oysters in R. venosa competent larvae. The NF-kB and JAK-STAT signa
