Outline
Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) can regulate immunity, inflammation, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and organism development. At present, NF-κB has been well studied in vertebrates and fruit flies, while its role in shellfish is still elusive. In order to further explore the role of NF-κB in the immunity and development of mussel Mytilus coruscus, the full length McNF-κB cDNA sequence was cloned from M. coruscus. McNF-κB gene was 4087 bp long, and the open reading frame was 2 613 bp, encoding 871 amino acids and had a typical ankyrinrepeat (ANK) domain and DEATH domain. The results of amino acid sequence analysis showed that the gene had 72.76% homology with M. edulis and 66.58% with M. galloprovincialis, respectively, and was clustered with M. edulis and M. galloprovincialis in the phylogenetic tree. The real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) technology showed that the McNF-κB gene was expressed distributed in all tissues of M. coruscus, and the expression was the highest in the gill. McNF-κB gene was expressed in both the pediveliger larvae stage and the juvenile stage of M. coruscus, and the expression was significantly higher in the pediveliger larvae stage than that in the juvenile stage. After using RNA interference technology to silence the McNF-κB gene of pediveliger larvae, the larval metamorphosis rate decreased significantly, indicating that this gene was involved in regulating the metamorphosis process of M. coruscus. This study provides a basis for exploring how McNF-κB gene regulates development of M. coruscus.
