The study showed that after being challenged by Streptococcus agalactiae, the expression of On-HMG20A in Nile tilapia tissues was upregulated in a time-dependent manner. Inhibiting the expression of On-HMG20A can reduce the inflammatory response and tissue damage caused by Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, as well as decrease the bacterial load in tissues.
High-mobility group 20 A (HMG20A) has important biological functions, such as inhibiting the differentiation of red blood cells and nerve cells, promoting the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, and regulating inflammatory reaction. However, the role of HMG20A in the response to bacterial infection in the economic fish Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) remains unclear. In this study, a HMG20A homolog was successfully identified and characterized from Nile tilapia (On-HMG20A), and its expression model and biological effects on bacterial infection were analyzed. The open reading frame (ORF) of On-HMG20A was 876 bp in length, which encoded 291 amino acids and possessed a HMG domain (High mobility group domains) and coiled coil region. Results of the expression model showed that On-HMG20A was widely distributed in immune-related tissues of healthy tilapia and upregulated in a time-dependent manner after being challenged by Streptococcus agalactiae. Meanwhile, knocking down the expression of On-HMG20A can reduce the inflammatory response of tilapia and the degree of tissue damage caused by S. agalactiae. Moreover, knocking down the expression of On-HMG20A can reduce the bacterial load of tilapia tissues after being challenged by S. agalactiae and improve the survival rate. Collectively, these results showed that On-HMG20A may be related to the immune response of Nile tilapia against bacterial infection.
