Involvement of a TNF homologue in balancing the host immune system of Macrobrachium nipponense

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2019
In vertebrates, tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) are well-known cytokines involved in a diversity of physiological and pathological events. In the present work we identified a novel TNF-like gene (MnTNF) from Macrobrachium nipponense, which codes for a protein sharing detectable sequence identify (26-27%) to the mammalian TNFSF members, TWEAK and EDA ...

Polystyrene nanoplastics decrease molting and induce oxidative stress in adult Macrobrachium nipponense

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2022
The widespread occurrence and accumulation of plastic waste have been globally recognized as a critical issue. However, few researches have evaluated the adverse effects of nanoplastics to freshwater organisms. Thus, here, the effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NP) on the physiological changes (i.e., molting) and enzyme activity of oxidative ...

[Accumulation and distribution of lead in Macrobrachium nipponense].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2004
The accumulation and distribution of lead granules in the major organs of Macrobrachium nipponense were studied by means of histochemistry, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) analysis. The results showed that many high electronic dense lead granules (EDG) were found primarily in the antennal gland of ...

Effects of rice-prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) co-culture on the microbial community of soil

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2022
In the Lixiahe region of China, co-culture has been rapidly promoted in flooded paddy fields owing to its ecological and economic benefits. Rice-prawn co-culture can reduce the damage of crab and shrimp to rice growth and paddy field and substantially change the soil microbial community and soil fertility. In this study, we compared changes in the soil

A novel C-type lectin is involved in the innate immunity of Macrobrachium nipponense

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2016
C-type lectins (CTLs) play important roles in invertebrate innate immunity by recognizing and eliminating pathogens. In the present study, a low-density lipoprotein receptor class A (LDLa) domain-containing CTL was identified from the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense, designated as MnCTLDcp1.

The differences of characteristics and allergenicity between natural and recombinant tropomyosin of Macrobrachium nipponense

Food Chemistry
Tropomyosin (TM) is the main allergen of Macrobrachium nipponense. Recombinant allergens have great prospects in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of food allergens. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in structure and allergenicity between natural TM and recombinant TM. Recombinant TM of M. nipponense with a molecular weight

Effect of pH and Zn2+ on subcultured muscle cells from Macrobrachium nipponense

Methods in Cell Science, 2000
A cell culture system was devised for muscle cell of Macrobrachium nipponense in the study. The juvenile and adult shrimps were held in laboratory aquaria with penicillin 1000 IU/ml and streptomycin 1000 microg/ml for 12-24 hours. Cell cultures were established in medium 199 supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, 1 g/L glucose, 5.2 g/L NaCl, 1.43 g ...

Identification and characterization of the Dmrt1B gene in the oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense

Development Genes and Evolution
Dmrt (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor) is a protein family of transcription factors implicated in sexual regulation. Dmrt proteins are widely conserved and known for their involvement in sex determination and differentiation across species, from invertebrates to humans. In this study, we identified a novel gene with a DM (doublesex/Mab-

Isolation and characterization of 20 polymorphic microsatellite markers in Macrobrachium nipponense

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2010
We developed 20 polymorphic microsatellite loci by 5′-anchored PCR and constructing a microsatellite-enriched genomic library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to twelve, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.2357 to 1.0000 and from 0.4156 to 0.9169, respectively.

Identification of five anti-lipopolysaccharide factors in oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2015
Anti-lipopolysaccharide factors (ALFs) are a group of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities and antiviral activities mainly found in crustaceans and horseshoe crabs. In the present study, we identified 5 ALF expression sequence tags (ESTs) through analysis of the established M.
