The NLR-like gene LvNLRPL1 in Litopenaeus vannamei plays a crucial role in immune response by regulating apoptosis of hemocytes during Vibrio infection, demonstrating its importance in crustaceans' immune defense against pathogens.
NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a kind of pattern recognition receptors, which are vital for detection of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and then trigger downstream immune responses in vertebrates. Although many NLR like genes have been identified in invertebrates in recent years, knowledge about their immune functions is still very limited. In the present study, a NLR like gene, designated as LvNLRPL1, was identified in Litopenaeus vannamei. It was widely expressed in multiple tissues and responsive to the infection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Knockdown of LvNLRPL1 could accelerate the proliferation of Vibrio in hepatopancreas and increase the mortality rate of shrimp after Vibrio infection. Meanwhile, knockdown of LvNLRPL1 also up-regulated the expression of Caspase 2, 3 and 5 in hemocytes, which caused apoptosis of more hemocytes. These results indicated that LvNLRPL1 played important immune functions in shrimp during Vibrio infection through regulating the apoptosis of hemocytes in shrimp. To our knowledge, this is the first time to reveal the immune function of a NLR like gene in crustaceans.
