- Abstract
Large yellow croaker (L. crocea) is a productive species in marine aquaculture with great economic value in China. However, the sustainable development of large yellow croaker is hampered by various diseases including cryptocaryonosis caused by Cryptocaryon irritans. The genetic regulation processes for cryptocaryonosis in large yellow croaker are still unclear. In this present study, we analyzed differential alternative splicing events between a C. irritans resistance strain (RS) and a commercial strain (CS). We identified 678 differential alternative splicing (DAS) events from 453 genes in RS and 719 DAS events from 500 genes in CS. A set of genes that are specifically alternatively spliced in RS was identified including mfap5, emp1, and trim33. Further pathway analysis revealed that the specifically alternative spliced genes in RS were involved in innate immune responses through the PRR pathway and the Toll and Imd pathway, suggesting their important roles in the genetic regulation processes for cryptocaryonosis in large yellow croaker. This study would be helpful for the studies of the pathogenesis of cryptocaryonosis and dissection of C. irritans resistance for L. crocea., (© 2024.
