Design and functional characterization of Salmo salar TLR5 agonist peptides derived from high mobility group B1 acidic tail. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 146:109373. [PMID: 38272332 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) responds to the monomeric form of flagellin and induces the MyD88-depending signaling pathway, activating proinflammatory transcription factors such as NF-κB and the consequent induction of cytokines. On the other hand, HMGB1 is a highly conserved non-histone chromosomal protein shown to interact with and activate TLR5. The present work aimed to design and characterize TLR5 agonist peptides derived from the acidic tail of Salmo salar HMGB1 based on the structural knowledge of the TLR5 surface using global molecular docking platforms. Peptide binding poses complexed on TLR5 ectodomain model from each algorithm were filtrated based on docking scoring functions and predicted theoretical binding affinity of the complex. Circular dichroism spectra were recorded for each peptide selected for synthesis. Only intrinsically disordered peptides (6W, 11W, and SsOri) were selected for experimental functional assay. The functional characterization of the peptides was performed by NF-κB activation assays, RT-qPCR gene expression assays, and Piscirickettsia salmonis challenge in SHK-1 cells. The 6W and 11W peptides increased the nuclear translation of p65 and phosphorylation. In addition, the peptides induced the expression of genes related to the TLR5 pathway activation, pro- and anti-inflammatory response, and differentiation and activation of T lymphocytes towards phenotypes such as TH1, TH17, and TH2. Finally, it was shown that the 11W peptide protects immune cells against infection with P. salmonis bacteria. Overall, the results indicate the usefulness of novel peptides as potential immunostimulants in salmonids.

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus causes diseases in aquatic organisms, leading to substantial financial losses to the aquaculture industry; its flagellin F (flaF) protein triggers severe inflammation in host cells. To enhance the understanding of the function of flaF in V. parahaemolyticus infection, in this study, a flaF-deficient mutant was constructed by employing two-step homologous recombination. The flaF-deficient mutant induced a significantly lower toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) expression and apoptosis in fish intestinal epithelial cells than the wild-type V. parahaemolyticus. Furthermore, fluorescence labelling and microscopy analysis of TLR5 showed that V. parahaemolyticus and its mutant strain significantly enhanced TLR5 expression. Additionally, the findings suggest that flaF deletion did not significantly affect the expression of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) induced by V.parahaemolyticus. In summary, V. parahaemolyticus induced a TLR5-dependent inflammatory response and apoptosis through MyD88, which was observed to be influenced by flaF deletion. In this study, we obtained stable mutants of V. parahaemolyticus via target gene deletion-which is a rapid and effective approach-and compared the induction of inflammatory response and apoptosis by V. parahaemolyticus and its mutant strain, providing novel perspectives for functional gene research in V. parahaemolyticus.

Outer membrane vesicles from Piscirickettsia salmonis induce the expression of inflammatory genes and production of IgM in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023:108887.

Abstract
Piscirickettsiosis outbreaks due to Piscirickettsia salmonis occur globally in the Chilean salmon aquaculture generating significant monetary losses in the industry. P. salmonis secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) which are naturally non-replicating and highly immunogenic spherical nanoparticles. P. salmonis OMVs has been shown to induce immune response in zebrafish; however, the immune response induced by these vesicles in salmonids has not been evaluated. In this study, we inoculated Atlantic salmon with 10 and 30 μg doses of P. salmonis OMVs and took samples for 12 days. qPCR analysis indicated an inflammatory response. Thus, the inflammatory genes evaluated were up- or down-regulated at several times in liver, head kidney and spleen. In addition, the liver was the organ most immune-induced, mainly in the 30 μg-dose. Interestingly, co-expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines was evidenced by the prominent expression of il-10 at day 1 in spleen and also in head kidney on days 3, 6 and 12, while il-10 and tgf-β were up-regulated on days 3, 6 and 12 in liver. Importantly, we detected the production of IgM against proteins of P. salmonis in the serum collected from immunized fish after 14 days. Thus, 40 and 400 μg OMVs induced the production of highest IgM levels; however, no statistical difference in the immunoglobulin levels produced by these OMVs doses were detected. The current study provides evidence that OMVs released by P. salmonis induced a pro-inflammatory responses and IgM production in S. salar, while regulatory genes were induced in order to regulate their effects and achieve the balance of the inflammatory response.

Abstract
As a universal adaptor used by most TLR members, the myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) plays essential roles in TLR-mediated inflammatory response of invertebrate and vertebrate animals, and functional features of MyD88 remain largely unknown in amphibians. In this study, a MyD88 gene named Xt-MyD88 was characterized in the Western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis). Xt-MyD88 and MyD88 in other species of vertebrates share similar structural characteristics, genomic structures, and flanking genes, suggesting that MyD88 is structurally conserved in different phyla of vertebrates ranging from fish to mammals. Moreover, Xt-MyD88 was widely expressed in different organs/tissues, and was induced by poly(I:C) in spleen, kidney, and liver. Importantly, overexpression of Xt-MyD88 triggered a marked activation of both NF-κB promoter and interferon-stimulated response elements (ISREs), implying that it may be play important roles in inflammatory responses of amphibians. The research represents the first characterization on the immune functions of amphibian MyD88, and reveals considerable functional conservation of MyD88 in early tetrapods.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 230:123208.

Abstract
In higher vertebrates, there is only a membranal TLR5 (TLR5M), which is crucial for host defense against microbes via MyD88 signaling pathway. In teleost, both TLR5M and soluble TLR5 (TLR5S) are identified, whereas the antibacterial mechanism of TLR5S is largely unknown. In this study, we studied the immune antibacterial mechanism of Cynoglossus semilaevis TLR5S homologue (named CsTLR5S). CsTLR5S, a 71.1 kDa protein, consists of 649 amino acid residues and shares 41.7 %-57.8 % overall sequence identities with teleost TLR5S homologues. CsTLR5S contains a single extracellular domain (ECD) composed of 12 leucine-rich repeats. CsTLR5S expression was constitutively identified and upregulated by bacterial infection in tissues. In vitro recombinant CsTLR5S (rCsTLR5S) could interact with bacteria and tongue sole rTLR5M (rCsTLR5M). Furthermore, rCsTLR5S could bind to the membranal CsTLR5M of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs), which led to enhancing the activity and the antibacterial role of PBLs via Myd88-NF-κB pathway. In vivo rCsTLR5S could activate the Myd88-NF-κB pathway, facilitate the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and enhance the host antibacterial response against Vibrio harveyi. Moreover, the knockdown of CsTLR5M or the Myd88 inhibitor could significantly suppress the antibacterial effect of rCsTLR5S. Collectively, our findings added important insights into the TLR5S immune antibacterial property in a TLR5M-MyD88-dependent manner.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is responsible for bacterial flagellin recognition in vertebrates. In the present study, TLR5M was identified in the Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (OnTLR5), containing a conserved LRR domain, a transmembrane region and a C-terminal TIR domain, similar to that of other fishes and mammals. OnTLR5 was broadly expressed in all the tissues examined, presenting the highest expression levels in the blood and the lowest in the kidney. OnTLR5 was detected from 2 d postfertilization (dpf) to 8 dpf during embryonic development. Moreover, expression levels of OnTLR5 were clearly altered in all five tissues examined in response to Streptococcus agalactiae infection in vivo. Overexpression of OnTLR5 in HEK293T cells revealed that OnTLR5 was distributed in the cytoplasm and significantly increased NF-κB activation. In response to cotransfection with OnMyd88, OnTLR5 significantly upregulated OnMyd88-induced NF-κB activation. Pulldown assays showed that OnTLR5 interacts with OnMyd88 and revealed an interaction between TLR5 and Aeromonas hydrophila flagellin. Taken together, these findings suggest that OnTLR5 plays important roles in TLR/IL-1R signalling pathways and the immune response to pathogen invasion.

Abstract
Mammalian toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is crucial for recognizing bacterial flagellin and initiating the inflammatory signaling cascades via myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) signaling pathway, which plays vital roles in innate immune against pathogenic bacteria. Herein, we reported the signaling pathway and antibacterial property of tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) membrane forms of TLR5 (i.e. CsTLR5M1and CsTLR5M2). CsTLR5M1/M2 contain 936 and 885 amino acid residues respectively. CsTLR5M1 shares 86.7% overall sequence identities with CsTLR5M2. CsTLR5M1/M2 possess the same extracellular domain (ECD) and transmembrane domain (TMD), but the different toll-interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain. CsTLR5M1/M2 expression occurred constitutively in multiple tissues and regulated by bacterial stimulation. Recombinant CsTLR5M1/M2 (rCsTLR5M) could bind to flagellin and Gram-negative/positive bacteria, which could suppress bacterial growth. Stimulation of the CsTLR5M pathway by flagellin resulted in increased expression of MyD88-dependent signaling molecules and inflammatory cytokines. Blocking rCsTLR5M by antibody markedly reduced the phagocytosis and ROS production of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs), which in turn in vivo promoted the dissemination of bacteria. Overall, these observations add new insights into the signaling pathway and immune function of teleost TLR5M.

Abstract
Piscirickettsiosis (SRS) has been the most important infectious disease in Chilean salmon farming since the 1980s. It was one of the first to be described, and to date, it continues to be the main infectious cause of mortality. How can we better understand the epidemiological situation of SRS? The catch-all answer is that the Chilean salmon farming industry must fight year after year against a multifactorial disease, and apparently only the environment in Chile seems to favor the presence and persistence of Piscirickettsia salmonis. This is a fastidious, facultative intracellular bacterium that replicates in the host’s own immune cells and antigen-presenting cells and evades the adaptive cell-mediated immune response, which is why the existing vaccines are not effective in controlling it. Therefore, the Chilean salmon farming industry uses a lot of antibiotics—to control SRS—because otherwise, fish health and welfare would be significantly impaired, and a significantly higher volume of biomass would be lost per year. How can the ever-present risk of negative consequences of antibiotic use in salmon farming be balanced with the productive and economic viability of an animal production industry, as well as with the care of the aquatic environment and public health and with the sustainability of the industry? The answer that is easy, but no less true, is that we must know the enemy and how it interacts with its host. Much knowledge has been generated using this line of inquiry, however it remains insufficient. Considering the state-of-the-art summarized in this review, it can be stated that, from the point of view of fish immunology and vaccinology, we are quite far from reaching an effective and long-term solution for the control of SRS. For this reason, the aim of this critical review is to comprehensively discuss the current knowledge on the interaction between the bacteria and the host to promote the generation of more and better measures for the prevention and control of SRS.
