PG - 108987 LID - S1050-4648(23)00473-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108987 [doi] AB - Chemokines are a group of chemotactic cytokines with an essential role in homeostasis as well as immunity via specific G protein-coupled receptors and atypical receptors. In our study, two Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) CCL19b genes (CcCCL19bs), tentatively named CcCCL19b_a and CcCCL19b_b, were cloned. The open reading frames (ORFs) of CcCCL19b_a and CcCCL19b_b were both 333 bp that encoded a 12 kDa protein with 110 amino acid residues. CcCCL19bs contained a signal peptide and a SCY domain with four typical conserved cysteine residues. The two CcCCL19b proteins shared high similarities with each other in both secondary and three-dimensional structure. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CcCCL19bs and other CCL19bs from tetraploid cyprinid fish were clustered into one clade. CcCCL19bs were highly expressed in gill and intestine in healthy fish, and a significant up-regulation of gene expression after Aeromonas hydrophila infection and poly(I:C) stimulation was observed in gill, liver, and head kidney. Furthermore, chemotaxis and antibacterial activity of CcCCL19bs were studied. The results indicated that recombinant CcCCL19b_a and CcCCL19b_b protein (rCcCCL19b_a and rCcCCL19b_b) exhibited significant attraction to primary head kidney leukocytes (HKLs). Meanwhile, both of rCcCCL19bs could promote the proliferation of HKLs, and significantly up-regulate the expressions of IL-1beta, CCR7, and IL-6, and down-regulate the expression of IL-10 in primary HKLs. In vitro, rCcCCL19bs could bind and aggregate A. hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus. The rCcCCL19bs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against A. hydrophila, but not S. aureus. Moreover, they inhibited the growth of A. hydrophila and S. aureus. In vivo, overexpression of CcCCL19bs contributed to the bacterial clearance. These studies suggested that CcCCL19bs orchestrate an antibacterial immune response. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
