Abstract
There are numerous fish diseases that affect the central nervous system. However, few studies have investigated the immune cells and immunological responses of fish brains. Meanwhile, microglial cells, as the brain's first line of defense, play a vital role in neuroimmunology. Furthermore, CD83 is a co-stimulatory protein that regulates immunological responses and the activation of dendritic cells and macrophages. Although CD83 expression has been linked to the initial activation of microglia in various disease scenarios in mammals, its role in teleost microglial biology remains unclear. In a recent investigation, we discovered that Ginbuna crucian carp (Gb) contains two CD83 homologs (GbCD83 and GbCD83-L). In this study, we used modified procedures of mouse-based macrophage culture from the brain and kidney to identify that GbCD83-L is highly expressed by the brain microglia-like cells and kidney-resident macrophages (KRMs) at both the protein and gene levels. Interestingly, GbCD83-L was considerably elevated in the microglia-like cells and KRMs after 24 h of lipopolysaccharide stimulation. These findings provide the first evidence of CD83 as a potential marker for active microglia and KRMs in teleosts, thus making it a crucial regulator in fish neuroimmunology and a candidate for future immunomodulatory applications in aquaculture.
期刊介绍:
Fish and Shellfish Immunology rapidly publishes high-quality, peer-refereed contributions in the expanding fields of fish and shellfish immunology. It presents studies on the basic mechanisms of both the specific and non-specific defense systems, the cells, tissues, and humoral factors involved, their dependence on environmental and intrinsic factors, response to pathogens, response to vaccination, and applied studies on the development of specific vaccines for use in the aquaculture industry.
