Dual oxidase (Duox) is a member of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) family,which plays a crucial role in various biological processes,such as the production of reactive oxygen species,regulation of the biological clock,and the immune response.To explore the immune function of the Duox gene in Exopalaemoncarinicauda,the cDNA sequence of the Duox gene was successfully cloned from E.carinicauda,and the amino acid sequence which it encoded was analyzed.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the tissue expression characteristics of gene and its expression changes infected with Vibrioparahaemolyticus.Finally,the mortality rate of E.carinicauda infected with V.parahaemolyticus after Duox gene knockdown was analyzed by using the RNA interference technique.The result shows that the coding region sequence length of the Duox gene in E.carinicauda is 4 518 bp,encoding 1 505 amino acids,reflecting typical structural characteristics of the dual oxidase.The Duox gene is expressed in all of the E.carinicauda tissues tested,with the highest expression level in gill tissues.After infected with V.parahaemolyticus,the Duox gene expression level in gills increases significantly (P<0.05).Infection with V.parahaemolyticus after injection of siRNA reagent significantly reduces the survival rate of E.carinicauda in the RNA interference group compared with the control group (P<0.05).This study shows that the Duox gene plays a role in the immune response of E.carinicauda against pathogenic infection,and provides an favorable reference for further exploration into the immune function and mechanism of Duox in E.carinicauda.
