SpHyastatin was first identified as a new cationic antimicrobial peptide in hemocytes of the mud crab Scylla paramamosain. Based on amino acid sequences deduced, it predicted that this composed two different functional domains, proline-rich domain (PRD) and cysteine-rich (CRD). The recombinant product displayed potent activities against human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus aquatic animal pathogens Aeromonas hydrophila Pseudomonas fluorescens. Compared with CRD SpHyastatin, PRD presented...

Over the past few decades, ocean hypoxia has been increasing due to human activities. Hypoxic stress, characterized by a reduced level of dissolved oxygen, is an escalating threat marine ecosystems, with potentially devastating effects on viability endangered species such as tri-spine horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus. Even though this remarkably resilient low oxygen levels, persistent can negatively impact its population's survivability. The objective research was examine short-term...

Abstract Holothuria scabra , a commercially valuable yet ecologically vulnerable tropical holothuroid, has experienced severe decline in its wild populations, especially China. Genomic resources are crucial for the development of effective genomic breeding projects and stock conservation strategies to restore these natural populations. Until now, high-quality, chromosome-level reference genome H. not been available. Here, we employed Oxford Nanopore Hi-C sequencing technologies assemble...

The Vibrio genus inhabit estuarine and marine ecosystem throughout the world can cause severe infections in humans animals. Previous studies have demonstrated dynamics of at both community population levels assessed close relationship between environmental factors diversity abundance, such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen. It is also generally believed that aquaculture fastest-growing food sector, which applying great impacts on microbial communities aquatic ecosystems. However,...

Pathogens can enter their host cells by way of endocytosis in which the membrane lipid raft gene flotillins are probably involved invasion process and this is an important to cause infection. In study, a new SpFLT-1 was identified Scylla paramamosain, shared high identity with flotillin-1 other species. The widely distributed tissues showed highest level mRNA transcripts hemocytes. This might be maternal based on evident results that it highly expressed ovaries early developmental stages...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly lethal gynecological malignancy, often diagnosed at advanced stages with limited treatment options. Here, we demonstrate that the antimicrobial peptide CS-piscidin significantly inhibits OC cell proliferation, colony formation, and induces death. Mechanistically, causes necrosis by compromising membrane. Furthermore, can activate Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) induce apoptosis cleavage of PARP. To improve tumor targeting ability, modified adding...

Molting is a key biological process in crustaceans, with impacts on their growth, development and reproduction. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as bio-cargo carrying such nucleic acids, proteins, lipids which mediate intercellular communication participate various cell processes. In this study, we obtained hemocyte transcriptome data during the intermolt, premolt, postmolt stages of mud crab Scylla paramamosain . We analyzed differentially expressed genes three molt identified number...
