摘要
TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a kinase at the crossroads of multiple IFN-inducing signaling pathways, plays essential roles in both antiviral and antibacterial innate immunity in mammals. Here, TBK1 gene (10339 bp) was identified and characterized from grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella (CiTBK1). The genomic sequence is shorter than other orthologs in vertebrate, and a promoter region is found in intron 1. mRNA expression of CiTBK1 was widespread in fifteen tissues investigated, and was up-regulated post GCRV challenge in vivo and in vitro, as well as after stimulation of viral/bacterial PAMPs in vitro. CiTBK1 mediates IFN-I signal pathway through over-expression experiment. Post GCRV challenge, CiTBK1 overexpression inhibits viral infection by induction of CiIFN-I and CiMx1 mainly via CiIRF7. In CiTBK1 overexpression cells, mRNA expressions of CiIRF3, CiIRF7 and CiIFN-I were inhibited, whereas CiMx1 was facilitated after poly I:C stimulation, comparing to those in control group. The result indicated that CiMx1 expression mediated by CiTBK1 is in IFN-I independent way after poly I:C stimulation. However, overexpression of CiTBK1 diminishes LPS-induced expressions of CiIRF3 and CiIRF7 but promotes the induction of CiIFN-1 and CiMx1 in comparison with the control, which suggests that CiTBK1-triggered IFN-I activation is in IRF3/IRF7-independent manner after LPS stimulation. Notably, over-expression of CiTBK1 negatively regulated PGN-induced IRF3, IRF7, IFN-I and Mx1 immune response. Taken together, CiTBK1 participates in broad antiviral and antibacterial immune responses in different manners, and keeps regulatory balance that prevents harmful effects from excessive activation.
