Expression analysis of the acute phase response in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) after infection with a Gram-negative bacterium

Molecular profiling of the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) response to chronic exposure to the myxosporean parasite Enteromyxum leei

“…In salmonids, several studies have focused on the identification of molecular biomarkers in response to bacterial (Rise et al, 2004;Ewart et al, 2005;Baerwald et al, 2008), viral (Jorgensen et al, 2008;MacKenzie et al, 2008), fungal (Roberge et al, 2007) or parasitic infections (Morrison et al, 2006;Skugor et al, 2008;Wynne et al, 2008aWynne et al, , 2008b. The immune response of channel and blue catfish to bacterial (Peatman et al, 2007(Peatman et al, , 2008 and that of Japanese flounder to bacterial (Matsuyama et al, 2007a), 4 viral (Byon et al, 2005(Byon et al, , 2006, and parasitic (Matsuyama et al, 2007b) infections have also been studied.…”

Gene expression responses toRiemerella anatipestiferinfection in the liver of ducks

“…These APR genes identified after R. anatipestifer infection included fibrinogen system genes (FGA, FGB, FGG), PIT54, OTF, FTH1, HPX, CP, STEAP3, Ex-FABP, A2M, AT, TTR, ApoA-1, ALB and HBAA (Table 2). Similar subsets of APR were reported to be differentially expressed in pig (Chen et al, 2009), dairy cows (Jiang et al, 2008) and teleost fish (Gerwick et al, 2007;Peatman et al, 2007;Peatman et al, 2008), demonstrating the conservation of function of the majority of APPs.…”

“…Its receptor, CCR7, is expressed on mature dendritic cells and T-cell subsets. Up-regulation of CCL19-like genes after bacterial infection has also been reported in rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon (Boshra et al, 2006;Peatman et al, 2007). The ability of neutrophils to produce CCL19 is significant in orchestrating the recruitment of immune cells to the inflamed sites and therefore contributes to the regulation of the immune response.…”

Genetic Organization of Two Types of Flounder Warm-Temperature Acclimation-Associated 65-kDa Protein and Their Gene Expression Profiles

“…The expression of PoWap65s was evaluated by RT-PCR in HINAE cells under temperature acclimatization (20 C, 25 C, 28 C, and 30 C) and under 20 C control conditions. PoWap65-2 RT-PCR resulted in very faint bands for a few individuals and was not considered significant expression.…”

“…16,17) Hemopexin is not only a plasma transporter of heme but also a multifunctional agent in important healthrelated processes, including as iron homeostasis, antioxidant protection, bacteriostatic defense, nerve regeneration, and gene expression promoting cell survival. 18) Further studies by several researchers suggest that Wap65 genes are not important only in their classic role as warm-temperature acclimation proteins, 10,19) but also can function as immune response proteins 20,21) and in iron homeostasis, heavy metal exposure, 13) and development. 2,14,22) Thus Wap65 proteins are of particular interest due to their multifunctional character, and they demand further characterization of the potential roles in physiological mechanism.…”
