Vibrio parahaemolyticus causes diseases in aquatic organisms, leading to substantial financial losses to the aquaculture industry; its flagellin F (flaF) protein triggers severe inflammation in host cells. To enhance the understanding of the function of flaF in V. parahaemolyticus infection, in this study, a flaF-deficient mutant was constructed by employing two-step homologous recombination. The flaF-deficient mutant induced a significantly lower toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) expression and apoptosis in fish intestinal epithelial cells than the wild-type V. parahaemolyticus. Furthermore, fluorescence labelling and microscopy analysis of TLR5 showed that V. parahaemolyticus and its mutant strain significantly enhanced TLR5 expression. Additionally, the findings suggest that flaF deletion did not significantly affect the expression of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) induced by V.parahaemolyticus. In summary, V. parahaemolyticus induced a TLR5-dependent inflammatory response and apoptosis through MyD88, which was observed to be influenced by flaF deletion. In this study, we obtained stable mutants of V. parahaemolyticus via target gene deletion-which is a rapid and effective approach-and compared the induction of inflammatory response and apoptosis by V. parahaemolyticus and its mutant strain, providing novel perspectives for functional gene research in V. parahaemolyticus.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), a scaffold protein, plays a pivotal role in the NF-κB pathway downstream of T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs). As a key signaling hub, MALT1 integrates various pathways, making it essential for both innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in the antibacterial immune responses of crustaceans remains unclear.

Vibrio-induced diseases pose a significant threat to shrimp aquaculture. While the mechanisms underlying Vibrio penetration of shrimp shells and the gastrointestinal tract remain unclear, this study implicates chitinases as critical virulence factors. Despite their inability to utilize chitin or shrimp shells as sole carbon and nitrogen sources, three major shrimp pathogens-V.

Gut bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could be released into the circulatory system via the gut-liver axis and cause inflammatory immune response, while Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide (CMP40) has been reported to be effective in alleviating this inflammatory response. In this study, the effects of CMP40 gut fermentation on internal LPS structure formation and the subsequent immune response were explored. Results showed that CMP40 could change antigenicity of LPS of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica, and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, indicated by a reduced level of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.
