Shrimps like other arthropods rely on innate immune system, and may have some form of adaptive immunity in defending against pathogens. Phagocytosis is one of the oldest cellular processes, serving as a development process, a feeding mechanism and especially as a key defense reaction in innate immunity of all multicellular organisms. It is confirmed that crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) is one of the most important neuropeptides produced by Neuro-endocrine Immune (NEI) regulatory network, which undertakes important roles in various biological processes, especially in immune function and stress response. In this study, the recombinant Litopenaeus vannamei CHH (rLvCHH) was obtained from a bacterial expression system and the intracellular signaling pathways involved in the mechanism of phagocytosis after rLvCHH injection was investigated. The results showed that the contents of adenylyl cyclase (AC), phospholipase C (PLC) and calmodulin (CaM) in hemocytes were increased significantly after rLvCHH injection. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of NF-kappa B family members (relish and dorsal) and phagocytosis-related proteins in hemocytes were basically overexpressed after rLvCHH stimulation, while the expression level of NF-kappa B repressing factor (NKRF) gene was down-regulated significantly. Eventually, the total hemocyte count and phagocytic activity of hemocyte were dramatically enhanced within 3 h. Collectively, these results indicate that shrimps L. vannamei could carry out a simple but 'smart' NEI regulation through the action of neuroendocrine factors, which could couple with their receptors and trigger the downstream signaling pathways during the phagocytic responses of hemocytes.
