摘要: Interleukin-8 (IL-8), the first known chemokine, is a CXC chemokine, which is cable of attracting neutrophils and inducing them to release lysozomal enzymes, triggering the respiratory burst. In the present study, the cDNA of an IL-8 was cloned from Japanese sea perch Lateolabrax japonicus (designated LjIL-8) by homology cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches. The full-length cDNA of LjIL-8 consisted of 803 nucleotides with a canonical polyadenylation signal sequence AATAAA and a poly(A) tail, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 300 bp encoding a polypeptide of 99 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 6.6 kDa. The high identity of LjIL-8 with IL-8 in other organisms indicated that LjIL-8 should be a new member of the IL-8 family. By fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR, mRNA transcript of LjIL-8 was detectable in all the examined tissues with higher level in spleen and head-kidney. The temporal expression of LjIL-8 mRNA in the spleen was up-regulated by lipopolyssacharide (LPS) stimulation and reached the maximum level at 6 h post-stimulation, and then dropped back to the original level gradually. These results indicated that LjIL-8 was a constitutive and inducible acute-phase protein that perhaps involved in the immune defense of L. japonicus.
