摘要: As an inflammatory cytokine of the interleukin-20 (IL-20) subfamily, IL-20 has various functions in immune defenses, inflammatory diseases, tissue regeneration, cancer, and metabolism. Although the characteristics and functions of mammalian IL-20 have been clarified, those of fish IL-20 remain unclear. In this study, the IL-20 gene from the snakehead Channa argus (shIL-20) was cloned and functionally characterized. Similar to the IL-20 homologues of other species, the shIL-20 has a five exon/four intron structure in the coding region. The open reading frame of shIL-20 consists of 528 base pairs and encodes 175 amino acids (aa), including a signal peptide (aa 1-24) and a mature peptide (aa 25-175). The mature shIL-20 protein has six conserved cysteine residues, which occur in the IL-20 proteins of all species analyzed, and an additional cysteine residue (Cys-82) found only in the IL-20 proteins of several teleosts. The modeled tertiary structure of shIL-20 is similar with that of Homo sapiens IL-20. The shIL-20 was expressed constitutively in all the tissues analyzed, and its transcription was induced in the spleen and head kidney by Aeromonas schubertii and Nocardia seriolae in vivo and in head kidney leukocytes (HKLs) by lipoteichoic acid, lipopolysaccharide, and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid in vitro. The recombinant shIL-20 protein induced the transcription of tumor necrosis factor alpha 1 (TNF-alpha 1), TNF-alpha 2, IL-1 beta, and endogenous shIL-20, and promoted the proliferation of HKLs. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that shIL-20 participates in the immune response to bacterial invasion and promotes leukocyte proliferation, offering new insights into the functions of fish IL-20 during pathogen invasion.
