Proinflammatory Caspase A Activation and an Antiviral State Are Induced by a Zebrafish Perforin after Possible Cellular and Functional Diversification from a Myeloid Ancestor

Abstract: In mammals, perforins play a central role in the granule-dependent cell death induced by natural killer T cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and participate both in the defense against virus-infected and neoplastic cells and in the recognition of nonself molecules by the immune system. Little is known about fish perforin genes. We examined the zebrafish with the aim of increasing our knowledge about the role of perforins. We characterized 6 perforin genes in the zebrafish genome, and we studied them at the evo… Show more

“…Similar to the previous report that under basal conditions 6 zebrafish perforin genes were all expressed in the liver, spleen, kidney, intestine, gill and muscle [ 22 ]. Each Cc PRF gene was expressed in the nine analysed tissues (the liver, spleen, head kidney, foregut, hindgut, gill, skin, brain and muscle) (Fig.…”

“…6 and 8a, b ). However, in contrast to SVCV, polyI:C was not able to increase mRNA levels of zebrafish perforins within 24 hpi, with the exception of PRF1.6, in the kidney [ 22 ], which was consistent with the in vivo results in common carp. Additionally, rock bream perforin gene was not induced by virus shortly post infection, until a few days later [ 20 , 21 ].…”
