英文摘要 | The Wnt gene family encodes secreted glycoproteins involved in a wide variety of biological processes, including embryo development, cell proliferation and differentiation, and tissue regeneration. The Wnt pathway exists in all metazoan animals, however, the relevant research is rare in crustaceans. Here we described 12 Wnt genes representing 12 Wnt gene subfamilies in the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Based on homolog annotations and phylogenetic analyses, we named these 12 Wnt genes as LvWnt1, LvWnt2, LvWnt4-11, LvWnt16, and LvWntA. All the corresponding LvWnt proteins shared a conserved Wnt1 domain and 22 conserved cysteine residues. LvWnt1 and LvWnt6 were adjacent in a scaffold in the shrimp genome. Furthermore, we performed expression analyses of LvWnt genes at different developmental stages, during the molting process, in different tissues and after different pathogenic infection. We showed that each LvWnt gene had a unique expression pattern at different developmental stages but only a few of them expressed in adult shrimp. All the investigated LvWnt genes were initially expressed at the gastrula or limb bud embryo stages. Among them, LvWnt5 was specifically high expressed only in early embryos. LvWntA and LvWnt5 displayed high and similar expression profiles during the molting process, and LvWnt6 and LvWnt16 were specifically expressed in the thoracic ganglion, ventral nerve, intestines and gill tissues, respectively. We also found the expression of LvWntA, LvWnt5, LvWnt6, LvWnt9, and LvWnt16 were varied in the different tissues after infected with Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), which indicated that they might participate in immune response in L. vannamei. This study provided an insight into the repertoire of the Wnt gene structure and expression in shrimps, and furthermore, might promote the understanding of development, growth and immune response of shrimps and crustaceans. |
