摘要: Hepcidins are small cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides that play a vital role in immunity against pathogen invasion. Here, a hepcidin (Cshep) from Centropristis striata was described, which is considered as a valuable aquaculture marine species in China. The open reading frame consisted of 273 bp. Eight conserved cysteine residues were identified. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Cshep had a relatively close relationship with the hepcidin from Epinephelus moara. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis demonstrated that Cshep was highly expressed in liver and significantly up-regulated when challenged with Vibrio harveyi. In addition, the synthetic Cshep peptide had a high antimicrobial activity against V. harveyi, but low against other pathogenic bacteria tested in this study. The killing kinetics analysis revealed that Cshep had a fast bactericidal effect on V. harveyi. These results suggested that Cshep may be involved in the immune response of C. striata against V. harveyi infection.
