Immunomodulation and physiological responses of Mytilus galloprovincialis as bioindicators of environmental change
2015
Immunomodulation and physiological responses of Mytilus galloprovincialis as bioindicators of environmental change Oxygenation level temperature increases and changes in food availability are predicted to occur in the future. In such scenario, a global climate change (GCC), there is growing concern for the health status of wild and farmed organisms. Bivalve molluscs, are important components of coastal marine ecosystems, and as sedentary and filter feeders, are good bioindicators of environmental conditions. The ability of organisms to maintain the immunosurveillance unaltered under adverse environmental conditions may enhance theirs survival capability. Only a few studies have investigated…
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…
