摘要: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine with crucial immunoregulatory functions in both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, the IL-6 sequence and function remain unknown in sturgeon, one chondrostean fish. In the present study, we identified an interleukin-6 homolog from Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser bath), named AbIL-6. Its open reading frame (ORF) was 657 nucleotides in length, encoding a polypeptide of 218 amino acids, which contains a signal peptide and the IL-6 family domain. Phylogenetic analysis showed that sturgeon IL-6 had close relationship with both teleost and chondrichthyes IL-6s. Abil-6 mRNA was highly expressed in spleen, brain and liver tissues of healthy sturgeon, and significantly up-regulated in the spleen, head kidney and liver by A.hydrophila (A.h) challenge. Heat-killed A.h and LPS effectively stimulated Abil-6 transcripts in primary spleen cells in vitro. In order to understand the bioactivity and influence of AbIL-6 on immune responses, recombinant AbIL-6 (rAbIL-6) was synthesized by prokaryotes and demonstrated to promote the proliferation of spleen cells and head kidney cells in vitro. Additionally, intraperitoneal injection of rAbIL-6 induced significantly higher expression of four immuno-related genes including it-1 beta, cxcl10, mhcII beta and igm. rAbIL-6 improved the survival rate and reduced the tissue bacterial load after A.h infection. Taken together, these results suggest that AbIL-6 plays an important role in inflammatory responses and immune defense against bacterial infection of sturgeon.
