PG - 24-32 LID - S1050-4648(16)30551-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.fsi.2016.09.003 [doi] AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) exerts its regulatory effects by binding one of two TNF receptors, TNF-alpha receptor 1 (TNFR1) or TNFR2. In this study, we isolated and identified the cDNA sequence of grass carp TNFR1 (gcTNFR1). Similar to its homologs in other fish species, the putative protein of gcTNFR1 possessed an extracellular region containing three TNF homology domains, a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic region with a conserved death domain. Consistent with the widespread expression of mammalian TNFR1, gcTNFR1 transcripts ubiquitously expressed in spleen, thymus, liver, heart, gill, intestine, brain and head kidney with the highest expression levels in head kidney. To reveal its inductive expression patterns in inflammatory response, effect of in vivo bacterial infection on gcTNFR1 gene expression was examined, showing a rapid increase of gcTNFR1 expression in head kidney, gill, liver and intestine, which is consistent with the role of TNF-alpha as an early response gene during immune challenges. To define the functional role of gcTNFR1, recombinant extracellular region of gcTNFR1 (rgcTNFR1) was prepared and used to perform in vitro binding assay, demonstrating its ability to interact with recombinant grass carp TNF-alpha (rgcTNF-alpha). Furthermore, to characterize the function of gcTNFR1 in affecting rgcTNF-alpha actions, the effect of overexpressing gcTNFR1 on rgcTNF-alpha-induced grass carp IL-1beta (gcIL-1beta) promoter activity was determined in COS7 cells. Results showed that gcTNFR1 was involved in the regulation of rgcTNF-alpha on gcIL-1beta transcription. Consistently, rgcTNFR1 was effective in attenuating the effect of rgcTNF-alpha on IL-1beta mRNA expression in grass carp head kidney leukocytes, providing evidence for the involvement of TNFR1 in TNF-alpha signaling in grass carp. These data facilitate a better understanding of TNF-alpha receptor signaling in grass carp. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
