Abstract
A primary cell culture system was used to obtain differentiated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophages that were stimulated with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS-10μg/ml) for 12h in vitro. Messenger RNA from the LPS-stimulated cells was used to create two cDNA libraries from which a total of 1048 sequences were analyzed. A large number of cDNAs were obtained that could be related to immune function including structural proteins, proteases and antiproteases, regulators of transcription and translation, cell death regulators, receptors, lectins and immunoglobulins, cytokines and chemokines, cell surface antigens, signal transduction proteins, antimicrobial peptides, and enzymes involved in eicosanoid synthesis. Selected genes that were analyzed by RT-PCR and real time PCR and found to be upregulated by LPS, included vascular cell adhesion molecule, the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β, the inhibitor of NF-kB α, CD209, a major histocompatibility class II-invariant chain protein, cyclin L1, acute phase serum amyloid A, and prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2.
