摘要： Dabry's sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus) represents an ancient Actinopterygian lineage that are termed "living fossils". Many diseases have been found in Dabry's sturgeon. In the present study, genes encoding interleukin (IL)-16 and IL-17D in Dabry's sturgeon were identified by RNA-sequencing. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggested that they clustered together with the corresponding pro-IL-16 proteins and IL-17D proteins from other fish. Sequence analysis revealed that IL-17D protein was more conserved than pro-IL-16. Dabry's sturgeon pro-IL-16 contains four putative PDZ domains and do not include signal peptides, while IL-17D only possesses signal peptides (1-25 aa). The expression patterns of IL-16 and IL-17D genes were investigated in Dabry's sturgeon to reveal their functions in disease. The expression level of IL-16 showed no significant changes in embryos; however, the high expression level of IL-17D at 0-14 hpf (hours post fertilization) implied the existence of maternal expression in the oocyte and an association with embryonic development. Tissue distribution analysis revealed that IL-16 and IL-17D proteins have potential functions in immune and non-immune tissue compartments. IL-16 and IL-17D had different fold changes in primary spleen leukocytes after polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, which suggested that IL-16 has a stronger antiviral capability compared with its antibacterial response, and IL-17D has a stronger antibacterial capability compared with its antiviral response. IL-16 showed an earlier response to virus compared with IL-17D, and IL-17D showed earlier and shorter response to bacteria compared with IL-16. Our findings suggested the roles of IL-16 and IL-17D in Dabry's sturgeon, and provided the theoretical basis for the prevention and control of diseases of Dabry's sturgeon.
