ABSTRACT
Juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase (JHEH) participates in the degradation of juvenile hormone and also involved in the development and molting process in insects. Here, the JHEH homolog in Pennaus vannamei was cloned and found to consist of a full-length cDNA of 2543 bp and an open reading frame (ORF) of 1386 bp. Transcripts of PvJHEH1 were expressed in most tissues of healthy shrimp with the highest found in the hepatopancreas and lowest in hemocytes. Both Gram-negative (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) and Gram-positive (Streptococcus iniae) bacteria induced PvJHEH1 expression in shrimp hemocytes and hepatopancreas, suggesting the involvement of PvJHEH1 in P. vannamei immune responses. Moreover, the mRNA levels of ecdysone inducible nuclear transcription factor PvE75 and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (PvCHH), two endocrine-related genes with roles in shrimp innate immune response, decreased significantly in shrimp hemocytes after PvJHEH1 knockdown. Shrimp survival was also affected after PvJHEH1 knockdown followed by V. parahaemolyticus challenge, indicating that JHEH1 plays an essential role in shrimp survival during bacterial infection.
