Largemouth bass Rel exerts antiviral role against fish virus and regulates the expression of interleukin-10.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/Rel is a group of transcription factors that can be activated and regulates various aspects of innate and adaptive immune functions, which play a crucial role in mediating inflammatory responses. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a highly pleiotropic cytokine that has a central role in limiting the immune response to pathogens during infection and thereby alleviating damage to the host. This study aims to investigate the function of the Rel gene in virus infection and its regulatory effect on IL-10 in the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The ORF sequence of MsRel was 1941 bp, containing 646 amino acids with two conserved functional domains, including RHD and IPT domain. In healthy largemouth bass, the mRNA of MsRel was detected in all the tested tissues, including gill, liver, kidney, heart, spleen, intestine, stomach, skin, brain, fin and muscle. The expression of MsRel was induced by challenge with largemouth bass virus (LMBV) or red grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV), as well as treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or poly (I:C) in vivo. As evidenced by the detection of viral gene mRNA levels, the infectivity of LMBV and morphological cytopathic effect (CPE), we found that overexpression of MsRel inhibited the infection and replication of LMBV, suggesting its antiviral roles in fish. Besides, the promoter analysis was carried out to determine whether MsRel was a regulator of MsIL-10. The results of the luciferase reporter assay indicated that MsRel has a positive regulatory role in MsIL-10 expression. Further analysis revealed that the potential binding sites of MsIL-10 may be located in the MsIL10-5-M (-42 to +8 bp) region of the MsIL-10 promoter. Furthermore, we observed that MsRel enhanced IFN-I and IFN-III promoter activities. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that MsRel affect LMBV infection by regulating the immune responses, and providing a new idea of the mechanisms how Rel regulate the expression of IL-10 in bony fish.
