Dopamine (DA) is an important neuroendocrine factor, which can act as neurotransmitter and neurohormone. In this study, we explored the immune defense mechanism in Litopenaeus vannamet with injection of dopamine at 10(-7) and 10(-6)mol shrimp(-1), respectively. The genes expressions of dopamine receptor (DAR), G proteins (Gs, Gi, Gq), phagocytosis and exocytosis-related proteins, as well as intracellular signaling pathway factors, and immune defense parameters were measured. Results showed that mRNA expression levels of dopamine receptor D4 (D4), Gi, nuclear transcription factors and exocytosis-related proteins decreased significantly and reached the minimum at 3 h, while the genes expressions of Gs, Gq and phagocytosis-related proteins reached the highest and lowest levels at 3 h and 6 h, respectively. The second messenger synthetases increased significantly in treatment groups within 3 h. Simultaneously, the second messengers and protein kinases shared a similar trend, which were significantly elevated and reached the peak value at 3 h. Ultimately lead to the total hemocyte count (THC), proPO activity and phagocytic activity decreased significantly, reaching minimum values at 3 h, 3 h and 6 h, respectively. While PO activity showed obvious peak changes, which maximum value reached at 3 h. These results suggested that DA receptor could couple with G protein after DA Injection and might regulate immunity through cAMP-PICA, DAG-PKC or CaM pathway.
