Abstract
The South Korean aquaculture industry has incurred considerable production losses due to various infectious diseases. Artificially synthesized polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), structurally similar to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and cytidine–phosphate–guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides, can enhance immune responses and protect against diseases. Here, we investigated dsRNA molecules with different cytidine–phosphate–guanosine (CpG) motifs (dsRNA-CpGMix) as fused agents to treat Miamiensis avidus and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection in olive flounders. We further investigated the efficacy of specific sequence motifs in dsRNA in modulating immunostimulatory effects. Fish treated with poly I:C or dsRNA-CpGMix exhibited higher survival rates than the control group. Olive flounder leukocytes stimulated with poly I:C or dsRNA-CpGMix showed increased scuticocidal activity in the presence of inactivated immune sera. dsRNA with CpG motif sequences induced higher resistance against M. avidus and VHSV infections than dsRNA without CpG motif sequences, and the dsRNA-CpGMix group showed upregulated ISG15 or Mx compared to the dsRNA-GFP group. Thus, dsRNA containing CpG motifs can be used as effective immunostimulants to enhance resistance against viral and parasitic diseases in olive flounder. The specific sequences of the CpG motifs in dsRNA may be important for enhancing immune responses and resistance against M. avidus and VHSV infections in olive flounders.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
