This study systematically investigated the regulatory effect of the NF-KB signaling pathway on biomineralization and shell regeneration in Pinctada fucata. The transcription factor Pf-Rel was found to play a positive regulatory role in the growth of the prismatic and nacreous layers, while the inhibitory protein poI-KB prevented excessive growth and accumulation. RNA-seq analysis identified potential regulatory genes controlled by Pf-Rel. Shell damage repair experiments revealed different functions of the NF-KB signaling pathway at different times. This study provides a macroscopic perspective based on transcription factors for studying biomineralization and shell regeneration.
Pinctada fucata is an important pearl production shellfish in aquaculture. The formation of shells and pearls is a hot research topic in biomineralization, and matrix proteins secreted by the mantle tissues play the key role in this process. However, upstream regulatory mechanisms of transcription factors on the matrix protein genes remain unclear. Previous studies have shown that NF-KB signaling pathway regulated biomineralization process through expression regulation of specific matrix proteins, including Nacrein, Prismalin-14 and MSI60. In this study, we systematically investigated the regulatory effect of the NF-KB signaling pathway key factor Pf-Rel and inhibitory protein poI-KB on the biomineralization and shell regeneration process. We applied RNA interference and antibody injection assays to study in vivo function of transcription factor Pf-Rel and characterized shell morphology changes using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. We found that transcription factor Pf-Rel plays a positive regulatory role in the growth regulation of the prismatic and nacreous layers, while the function of inhibitory protein poI-KB is to prevent excessive growth and accumulation of both layers. RNA-seq was conducted based on RNA interference animal model to identify potential regulatory genes by transcription factor Pf-Rel. Shell damage repair experiments were performed to simulate shell regeneration process, and observations of newly formed shells revealed that NF-KB signaling pathway had different functions at different times. This study provides us with a more macroscopic perspective based on transcription factors to investigate biomineralization and shell regeneration.
