摘要： In mammals, six interleukin-17 (IL-17) genes, as potent pro-inflammatory cytokines, all accelerate the inflam-matory responses. In teleosts, seven IL-17 genes have been found in various species, but little is known about the function of teleost-specific IL-17N. In this study, teleost IL-17N and IL-17A/F2 genes all had six conserved cysteine residues forming three intrachain disulfide bridges, the length of three exons of teleost IL-17N gene was similar to that of teleost IL-17A/F2 gene, and the neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree showed that teleost IL -17N was clustered with vertebrate IL-17A/F, implying that teleost IL-17N gene may be a paralog of teleost IL-17A/F gene. Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (Pf) IL-17N gene was highly expressed in the blood, brain and kidney of healthy yellow catfish. Pf_IL-17N transcript and protein were notably up-regulated in the spleen, head kidney, gill and kidney detected after Edwardsiella ictaluri infection. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) and peptidoglycan (PGN) also remarkably induced the expression of Pf_IL-17N in the isolated peripheral blood leucocytes (PBLs) of yellow catfish. These results reveal that Pf_IL-17N may play important roles in preventing the invasion of pathogens. Furthermore, the recombinant (r) Pf_IL-17N protein could significantly induce the mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and antimicrobial peptide genes in yellow catfish in vivo and in vitro, and it also notably promoted the phagocytosis of myeloid cells in the PBLs and the chemotaxis of the PBLs and gill leucocytes (GLs) in yellow catfish. Besides, though the rPf_IL-17N protein could induce and aggravate inflammation infiltration in the kidney of yellow catfish, it did not effectively and notably increase the survival rate of yellow catfish after E. ictaluri infection. Furthermore, the rPf_IL-17N protein could induce the mRNA expressions of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappa B) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathways related genes, and the inhibitor of NF-kappa B and MAPK signal pathways could restrain the rPf_IL-17N protein-induced inflammatory response. This study provides crucial evidence that the Pf_IL-17N may mediate inflammatory response to eliminate invasive pathogens.
