摘要： C-type lectins (CTLs), a member of pattern recognition receptors, play an important role in the innate immunity by recognizing invading microorganisms. In this study, a novel perlucin gene (designated as HdPer 3), a typical CTLs was cloned and characterized from the small abalone Haliotis diversicolor. The open reading frame of HdPer 3 was 471 bp, encoding a protein of 156 amino acids that included a single carbohydrate-recognition domain. HdPer 3 was widely expressed in all tested tissues and developmental stage. HdPer 3 expression was significantly up-regulated after Vibrio harveyi infection, suggesting that HdPer 3 was activated in response to bacterial infection. The encapsulation ability of hemocytes could be significantly enhanced by the recombinant protein HdPer 3 (rHdPer 3). To understand the regulation mechanism of the HdPer 3, HdPer 3 was silenced in vivo by RNAi. Knocking down HdPer 3 decreased the hemocytes phagocytosis. Meanwhile, knocking down HdPer 3 can reduce the expression of 2 phagocytosis-related genes (Rab and Dynamin), TNF-alpha, and 2 MAPK pathway-related genes (MAPK-X1 and Ras) after V. harveyi infection. Moreover, HdPer 3 interference could increase the bacterial load in the hemolymph and the mortality of abalones after V. harveyi infection. All these results suggested that HdPer 3 played a crucial role in the defense against V. harveyi infection by recognizing bacterial pathogens and activating the expression of immune-related genes.
