Macrophages exist in most tissues and play a variety of functions in vertebrates. Teleost fish species are found in most aquatic environments throughout the world and are quite diverse for a group of vertebrate animals. Due to whole genome duplication and environmental adaptation, teleost monocytes/macrophages possess a variety of different functions and modulations compared with those of mammals. A deeper understanding of teleost monocytes/macrophages in the immune system will not only help develop teleost-specific methods of disease prevention but will also help improve our understanding of the various immune mechanisms in mammals. In this review, we summarize the differences in polarization and phagocytosis of teleost and mammalian macrophages to improve our understanding of the various immune mechanisms in vertebrates.

The complement system is composed of a complex protein network and is pivotal to innate immunity. Complement 3 (C3) is a critical protein in the complement cascade and participates in complement activation and immune defense. In this study, C3 from Nile tilapia () was cloned and its function in resisting pathogen infection was characterized.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) are nuclear receptors with distinct roles in energy metabolism and immunity. Although extensively studied in mammals, immunomodulatory roles of this molecule in teleost fish remain to be investigated. In this study, large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) PPARγ (LcPPARγ) sequence was cloned, which encodes a polypeptide of 541 amino acids that include signature domains belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily.

Cantharidin is a toxic vesicant terpene used in folk and traditional medicine due to its various therapeutic effects. Since there are no previous data on the effect of cantharidin in fish, this study aimed to investigate the in vitro related-inflammatory effects of cantharidin in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) head-kidney leucocytes (HKLs).

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highly expressed in leukocytes and macrophages, which play a role in the innate immune response. Here, the cDNA sequence of MMP25 from Japanese sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicus) (LjMMP25) was identified. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that LjMMP25 was most closely related to large yellow croaker MMP25.
