Abstract
© 2020 Elsevier Inc. Vitellogenesis is a principal process during ovarian maturation in crustaceans. This process is negatively regulated by gonad-inhibiting hormone (GIH), a neuronal peptide hormone from eyestalks. However, the detailed mechanism through which GIH regulates Vg expression is still ambiguous. In this study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) under specific GIH-knockdown condition was utilized to determine the expression of genes in the ovary that may act downstream of GIH to control vitellogenin synthesis in Penaeus monodon. The total of 102 and 82 positive clones of up-regulated and down-regulated genes in GIH- knockdown shrimp were identified from the forward and reverse SSH libraries, respectively. Determination of the expression profiles of these reproduction-related genes during ovarian development revealed that the expression of calreticulin (CALR) was significantly reduced in vitellogenic ovary suggesting its role in vitellogenesis. Suppression of CALR by specific dsRNA showed elevated vitellogenin (Vg) transcript level in the ovary at day 7 post-dsRNA injection. Since CALR can bind to steroid hormone receptors and prevents the binding of the receptor to its responsive element to regulate gene expression, it is possible that CALR is an inhibitory mediator of vitellogenin synthesis via steroidal pathway. Our results posted a possible novel pathway of GIH signaling that might interfere the steroid signaling cascade to mediate Vg synthesis in the shrimp.
