C-type lectins (CTLs), a class of carbohydrate-recognizing glycoproteins, play a vital role in immune response against bacterial infection. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major bacterial pathogen in shrimp, causing huge economic losses to shrimp farming. The role of the CTL family in anti-V. parahaemolyticus immunity requires further exploration. In this study, a novel CTL named Perlucin with immune regulatory functions was characterized from Litopenaeus vannamei. Perlucin was highly expressed in the muscle and hepatopancreas of healthy L. vannamei. The mRNA levels of Perlucin were significantly upregulated after LPS stimulation, and V. parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger infections. Silencing of Perlucin by injection of specific dsRNA decreased the survival rate of V. parahaemolyticus-infected shrimp and increased the bacterial load of V. parahaemolyticus in tissues, while injection of recombinant Perlucin protein had the opposite effect. Moreover, silencing of Perlucin significantly affected the expression of multiple immune-related genes, including immune signaling components and downstream effector genes, suggesting that Perlucin is involved in immune regulation. This suggests that perlucin plays a crucial role in regulating humoral immune response against V. parahaemolyticus infection in shrimp.

C-type lectins (CTLs), a member of pattern recognition receptors, play an important role in the innate immunity by recognizing invading microorganisms. In this study, a novel perlucin gene (designated as HdPer 3), a typical CTLs was cloned and characterized from the small abalone Haliotis diversicolor. The open reading frame of HdPer 3 was 471 bp, encoding a protein of 156 amino acids that included a single carbohydrate-recognition domain.

Article Synopsis
- Hemocytes in bivalves, found in both hemolymph and extrapallial fluid (EPF), are crucial for innate immunity and shell biomineralization.
- The study revealed that genes related to shell formation, including those involved in chitin metabolism and ion transport, are overexpressed in the EPF, highlighting its role in biomineralization.
- Functional assays indicated that hemocytes in EPF have higher calcium levels than those in hemolymph, suggesting they contribute significantly to the process of shell formation while also maintaining immune functions.

In recent years, more and more studies have shown that early pathogenic bacterial infection in invertebrates can enhance immunity and significantly reduce mortality when reinfected with the same pathogen. There are mechanisms to explain this phenomenon, but they are relatively few. In addition, dose-dependent primary infection is also associated with increased immunity.
