MiR-210 regulates coelomocyte proliferation through targeting E2F3 in Apostichopus japonicus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2020
MiR-210 plays a crucial role in cell survival, migration, and regeneration in vertebrates. In our previous work, the expression of miR-210 was considerably induced in diseased Apostichopus japonicus with skin ulcer syndrome (SUS). To further explore the mechanism of miR-210 in regulating the SUS, this study identified E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3),

Molecular cloning and characterization of four caspases members in Apostichopus japonicus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2016
The caspase family representing aspartate-specific cysteine proteases have been demonstrated to possess key roles in apoptosis and immune response. We previously demonstrated that LPS challenged Apostichopus japonicus coelomocyte could significantly induced apoptosis in vitro.

New Bioactive Sulfated Alkenes from the Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2012
AbstractTwo new alkene sulfates, (5Z)‐dec‐5‐en‐1‐yl sulfate (4) and (3E)‐dec‐3‐en‐1‐yl sulfate (5), together with three known sulfated alkanes, 2,6‐dimethylheptyl sulfate (1), octyl sulfate (2), and decyl sulfate (3), were isolated from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. The structures of the new compounds 4 and 5 were elucidated by spectroscopic

Target of rapamycin signaling inhibits autophagy in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2020
Autophagy mediated by mTOR pathway is a particularly important immune defense mechanism in the pathogens infected mammals. However, the role of TOR in echinoderm autophagy is largely unknown. Here, a cDNA encoding TOR protein was cloned and characterized from sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (designated as AjTOR) and its biological functions were ...

Comparative study of three phenoloxidases in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2017
In order to preliminarily illustrate the functional differences of phenoloxidases (POs) in Apostichopus japonicus, the full-length cDNAs of two POs (named as AjPOⅡ and AjPOⅢ, respectively) were cloned from the coelomocytes of A. japonicus using 3'- and 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends method, and combined with the previously acquired full-length ...

Apostichopus japonicus in the Life of Chinese People

2015
Summary Holothurians or sea cucumbers, especially Apostichopus japonicus , have been part of the diet of the Chinese people for centuries; they are also woven into the fabric of Chinese culture as one of the most important foods. From legends to real facts, and from ancient emperor dynasties to the present day, this chapter covers the drivers of the

Depolymerized glycosaminoglycan and its anticoagulant activities from sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2015
A controlled Cu(2+) catalytic free-radical depolymerization process of fucosylated chondroitin sulfate from sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus was established. The results showed a good linear relationship between 1/Mw and time during the depolymerization.

Apostichopus japonicus: Fisheries, Trade, and Foodways in Japan

2015
Summary Nearly all sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus currently harvested in Japan are wild, not cultured. This is one of the prominent characteristics of Japanese A. japonicus fisheries. Dried A. japonicus has been a major export commodity from Japan to China for at least 350 years. Japanese also consume sea cucumbers but they have developed

Regeneration of coelomocytes after evisceration in the sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2018
Sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, is one of the most important holothurian species cultured in China. Severe evisceration induced by various natural and artificial factors commonly occurs during transport and culture of A. japonicus. Evisceration causes higher mortality and lower yield.

A novel fucolectin from Apostichopus japonicus with broad PAMP recognition pattern

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2018
F-type lectin (also known as fucolectin) is a newly identified family of fucose binding lectins with the sequence characters of a fucose binding motif and a unique lectin fold (the "F-type" fold). In the present study, a fucolectin was identified from sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (designated AjFL-1). The open reading frame (ORF) of AjFL-1 was of
