This study investigated the functional activities and regulation mechanism of large yellow croaker IFN-gamma in fish macrophages. The results showed that LcIFN-gamma expression was upregulated after LPS and poly(I:C) treatment, and rLcIFN-gamma enhanced phagocytic ability and induced M1 polarization in macrophages. Additionally, rLcIFN-gamma activated the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and upregulated IFN-stimulated gene expression. Furthermore, rLcIFN-gamma also activated other signaling cascades such as MAPK and AKT pathways in addition to the classical JAK-STAT pathway.
Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) is a widely expressed cytokine that has potent antiviral and immunomodulatory effects. The expression and bioactivity of IFN-gamma have been reported in several fish species. However, the molecular mechanism mediated by IFN-gamma in fish macrophages has not been completely elucidated. This study used the macrophage cell line to investigate the functional activities and regulation mechanism of large yellow croaker IFN-gamma (LcIFN-gamma). Herein, the mRNA expression of Lcifn-gamma was significantly upregulated in macrophages after LPS and poly(I:C) treatment. Recombinant LcIFN-gamma protein (rLcIFN-gamma) significantly enhanced the phagocytic ability and respiratory burst activity of macrophages. Meanwhile, rLcIFN-gamma induced M1 phenotype polarization of macrophages with the upregulated expressions of pro-inflammatory gene. Moreover, rLcIFN-gamma upregulated the IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression and activated JAK (Janus tyrosine kinases)-STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) signaling pathway by causing the phosphorylation of JAK1 and STAT1Tyr701. Furthermore, the promoter activity of IFN-regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) was significantly upregulated by the phosphorylated transcription factor STAT1 through binding to its promoter region. In addition to the classical JAK-STAT pathway, rLcIFN-gamma also activated multiple distinct signaling cascades such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase B (AKT) pathways. Overall, this study indicated the powerful effects of LcIFN-gamma on macrophage activation of large yellow croaker and its molecular mechanism.
