Inflammation events occurring upon bacterial infection in Mytilus galloprovincialis
2022
Bivalves, and in particular the Mediterranean Mytilus galloprovincialis are important sources of food in several countries in the world. Because of that, mussels farming has a strong economic impact. Due to their status as sessile and filter-feeding animals, bivalves accumulate in their tissues environmental pollutants and a larger amount of microorganisms and between these, a multitude of infective bacteria for higher vertebrates and humans, such as Vibrio species. Several immunological responses of M. galloprovincialis were investigated and described after Vibrio infection both, in vitro and in vivo conditions, such as hemocytes count and different cellular subpopulations. Particularly, i…
AIF-1 and RNASET2 are involved in the inflammatory response in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis following Vibrio infection
2022
Filter-feeding bivalves, such as the Mytilus species, are exposed to different types of bacteria in the surrounding waters, in particular of the Vibrio genus. Mussels lack an adaptive immune system and hemocytes can recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to activate intracellular signaling pathways to trigger the antimicrobial effectors synthesis. Among the areas of bivalve immunity that deserve study include the role of hemocyte subpopulations. Since little information are available on immune responses at the tissue level to human pathogenic vibrios commonly detected in coastal waters involved in seafood-borne diseases, in this wor…
