摘要： As a member of the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) class, scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SRB1) plays a key role in innate immunity. Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) ranks among the most extensively cultivated freshwater aquaculture species in China. However, little is known about the function of SRB1 in C. idellus. In this research study, a SRB1 gene was identified in C. idellus, named CiSRB1. The full-length cDNA of CiSRB1 is 2486 bp long, with an open reading frame (ORF) of 2486 bp encoding a 497 amino acid (aa) protein containing a conserved CD36 domain. The identified genomic DNA length of CiSRB1 is 20,042 bp, including 12 exons and 11 introns. The predictive analysis of protein interactions revealed that CiSRB1 could interact with the outer capsid proteins of typical GCRV strains. The tissue distribution of CiSRB1 exhibited age-dependent characteristics. CiSRB1 displayed the highest expression in the intestines and moderate levels in muscle, spleen, liver, and brain of one-year-old grass carp while maintaining relatively low levels in three-year-old grass carp. Following grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection, notable upregulation of CiSRB1 transcripts was observed in major immune tissues (gills, intestines, spleen, and liver). Furthermore, significant differences were found between one-year-old and three-year-old grass carp, with lower CiSRB1 expression levels being detected in the older group. Additionally, a distinct response to GCRV infection was observed in one-year-old and three-year-old grass carp. It was found that one-year-old individuals had a mortality rate of up to 84% 6 days post-infection (dpi), whereas all three-year-old counterparts survived after GCRV infection. The analysis of GCRV copy numbers across tissues revealed substantially higher levels in one-year-old grass carp compared with their older counterparts, confirming the existence of age-dependent susceptibility to GCRV infection in grass carp. Combined with these results, it was speculated that the decline in cell-surface CiSRB1 expression with age may impede reovirus binding to host cells, potentially explaining why older grass carp demonstrated enhanced resistance to GCRV infection. This observation accentuates the importance of CiSRB1 in the context of GCRV infection and provides insights into age-dependent susceptibility to reovirus.
