Responses of prophenoloxidase system and related defence parameters of Litopenaeus vannamei to low salinity

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the effects of low salinity (26 and 21) on the prophenoloxidase (proPO) system and related defence parameters in the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that low salinity induced a significant increase of dopamine (DA) concentration in haemolymph at 6 h of the experiment; on the other hand, total haemocyte count (THC), differential haemocyte count (DHC) and PO activity decreased over time to the lowest level at 24 h and remained low thereafter. Serine Protease (SP) an… Show more

“…As an important part of the pro phenol oxidase activation system, PO is an important immune factor that participates in various immune responses and plays an important role in the nonspecific immune mechanism of Invertebrate [35,36]. In the immune defense system of crustaceans, the body damage caused by the outside world, or a small amount of foreign matter, will activate the enzyme oxidase source activation system and then eliminate or resist external interference through the secretion, encapsulation, phagocytosis, and melanization of cytotoxic [32,37,38]. Therefore, the downregulation of differential expression of PO and serine protease inhibitors indicates that ammonia stress may lead to a decrease in shrimp immune function.…”
