     summary: ISSN 1824-307X Review Flow cytometry as a tool for analysing invertebrate cells A Cossarizza1, M Pinti1, L Troiano1, EL Cooper2 1 Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy 2 Department of Neurobiology, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA Accepted April 8, 2005 Abstract Flow cytometry (FCM) is a powerful tool that allows analysis of thousand of cells in a few seconds, at the single cell level. Analyses have focused on functions linked to innate immunity, such as phagocytosis and natural killer cell activity, as well as on the sensitivity of invertebrate cells to a particular stress or to a toxic agent.

     summary: The chosen examples are focused on insect hosts because of their economical and medical importance and considering their susceptibility to the symbiontic complex Steinernema-Xenorhabdus commercially available as biological insecticide. The symbiosis is essential for the efficiency of the biocontrol and it enables nematodes to exploit a diverse array of insect hosts (Dunphy and Thurston, 1990).

     summary: Zhang G, Schmidt O, Asgari S. Novel venom peptide from an endoparasitoid wasp is required for expression of poydnavirus genes in host hemocytes. This information is largely lacking, while for the passive evasion of host immune response it appears that the egg fibrous layer may play an important role (Davies and Vinson, 1986).

     summary: For a regulated MMP activity the presence of MMP inhibitors is fundamental, and infact one inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases has been found in the fly (Pohar et al., 1999) and it is structurely closely related to mammalian TIMPs (Wei et al., 2003). It is possible that this IMPI is implicated during the response of G. mellonella to invading pathogens as it is released during the humoral immune response (probably stimulated by particular peptidic fragments) and is able to protect the insect from exogenous metalloproteinases of pathogen origin such as bacterial thermolysin (Wedde et al., 1998; Vilcinskas and Wedde, 2002). ... and into every nook and craggy ... Three gene products (MMP-C31, H19 and Y19) encoding matrix metalloproteinases have been found in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

     summary: The externalization of phosphatidylserine occurs also in Drosophila cells during apoptosis, but whether or not phosphatidylserine serves as a phagocytosis marker remains to be determined. Upon the binding of target cells, the intracellular portion of phagocytosis receptors activates a signaling pathway, which in most cases leads to rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton.

     summary: At the highest OA dose (400 nM), a general cell suffering was found, i.e. the extended, irregularly shaped chloragogenous tissue cells embedded clumped coelomocytes (Figs 2D, E), the epithelial cell layer of the medio-posterior intestine increased in surface area (Fig. 2F), nephridia appeared disorganized in structure, and the ventral nerve cord comprising wrinkled nerve cells presented fewer neuronal cell bodies as a result of the invasion of expanding chloragogenous tissue (Figs 3A, D). These molecules have been found to act as endogenous regulators of inflammatory cell signalling (Shanley et al., 2001), and to play a role in the control and stimulation of proinflammatory cytokine gene expression by murine mononuclear phagocytes and other cell types (Falk et al., 1994; Tebo and Hamilton, 1994; Wakiya and Shibuya, 1999; Feng et al., 2006).

In invertebrates, the defence responses are mainly based on hemocyte types that release humoral factors, including lectins, lysins, clotting and antibacterial proteins (Loker et al., 2004), or display cell-linked activities (Parrinello, 1996; Parrinello et al., 2003).

     summary: However, based on their expression patterns, 185/333 proteins appear to be involved in immune responses. The frequency of 185/333 mRNAs increases 70-fold during bacterial infections, and 185/333 transcripts can comprise more than 60 % of the mRNA specifically induced by immune responses (Nair et al., 2005).

     summary: The reason for this selective exclusion of AMP gene expression was found in the specific repressive action of the Caudal (Cad) homeodomain transcription factor, as Ryu et al. (2008) elegantly demonstrate. A911 bacteria were furthermore found to be sensitive to AMPs, whereas G707 bacteria were much less so, thus explaining their rise in number in Cad knock-down AMP- expressing Drosophila guts.

     summary: This event induces selective crowding of MCs inside the ampullae of the growing edge, their migration through the epithelium of the ampullar tips into the tunic, and their final degranulation, with the consequent release of their vacuolar content (Taneda and Watanabe, 1982a; Sabbadin et al., 1992; Saito et al., 1994; Rinkevich et al., 1998; Cima et al., 2006c), in particular, the enzyme PO and its polyphenol substrata, which contribute to inducing the observed cytotoxicity (Fig. 6; Ballarin et al., 1995, 1998; Cima et al., 2004, 2006c). In colonial botryllid ascidians, especially in the species Botryllus schlosseri, hemocytes have been particularly investigated for their role in immunity (Ballarin et al., 1993, 1995; Cima et al., 1996, 2001; Ballarin and Cima, 2005).

     summary: Consequently, the observed specificity of D. melanogaster immune responses may be related to the selection of specific isoforms of receptors (Agaisse, 2007), as also suggested for molluscs (Zhang et al., 2004), or to synergism between receptors (Schulenburg et al., 2007). This is exactly what differentiates between innate and adaptive immunity and has led some authors to speculate on adaptive aspects of immune responses in invertebrates (Flajnik and Du Pasquier, 2004; Agaisse, 2007; Kurtz, 2005; Kvell et al., 2007; Pham et al., 2007).

     summary: Kew Words: stressors; stress response; vertebrates; invertebrates; evolution Eustress and distress, not simply “stress” Among the general public, the word stress evokes a concept of negativity, which is maintained even among those that have, or should have, knowledge of biology. The present paper aims to provide a correct interpretation of the concept of stress, and especially to emphasize the importance of its positivity, i.e., the role played by stress response in the survival of all animal species on the Earth and maintained during evolution.

     summary: Key Words: Cnidaria; immunity; symbiosis; pathogen; Symbiodinium; PAMP; PRR Introduction Gene function and cellular pathways in higher vertebrates, including humans, have increasingly shown to be highly conserved through metazoan evolution from the discovery of homologues in basal metazoans, such as sponges and cnidarians (Kortschak et al., 2003; Kuo et al., 2004; Kusserow et al., 2005; Dunn et al., 2006; Hemmerich et al., 2007). These particular peptides have been shown to have important therapeutic qualities as potent antibiotics against drug resistant human pathogens (Bosch et al., in press).

     summary: When analysing transcripts from fish challenged with Phda, proinflammatory peptides IL-1 and Cox-2 showed a potent stimulation at 6 h after challenge, whereas T cell genes were only slightly upregulated after boosting. The results support the hypothesis that common pathways involved in modulating activity, proliferation and differentiation of immune cells are conserved from molluscs to mammals.

     summary: In fact, the genetic evidence that the stress-responsive MAPK pathways play pivotal roles not only in stress response but also in innate immunity was first revealed in analyses using these more rudimentary animals models (Boutros et al., 2002; Kim et al., 2002). The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, especially those converging on two subgroups of stress-responsive MAPKs, JNK and p38, are the major players in a wide variety of response to these stressors (Widmann et al., 1999; Kyriakis and Avruch, 2001).

     summary: Key Words: Mytilus; hemocytes; lysosomal membrane stability; phagocytosis; lysozyme; immune parameters; seasonal variation Introduction Bivalves (such are mussels, clams and oysters) possess both cellular and humoral defence mechanisms that co-operate to kill and eliminate invading bacteria (Mitta et al., 2000; Canesi et al., 2002). Hemocytes are responsible for cell-mediated immunity through phagocytosis and various cytotoxic reactions, such as the release of lysosomal enzymes and antimicrobial peptides, and the production of oxygen metabolites (Mitta et al., 2000, Canesi et al., 2002).

     summary: Protein kinase A (but not protein kinase C) also appears to be involved in molluscan hemocyte apoptosis; in the case of noradrenaline-induced apoptosis, inhibition of PKA but not PKC activity attenuated apoptosis levels (Lacoste et al., 2002). Given that the study of molluscan apoptosis is still in its infancy, I will draw on relevant examples from vertebrate literature to illustrate molecular mechanisms and possible immunological roles of apoptosis in protection against parasites, pathogens, and tumors in mollusks.

     summary: Recently, a few organ-specific transcriptomes have been published (Yang et al., 2017; Zhou et al., 2016), and the Sánchez Alvarado group at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research (Kansas City, MO, USA) is developing an extensive database that includes organ-specific transcriptomes of many adult organs and the transcriptomes of many embryonic stages (Accorsi, personal communication). Advances in the understanding of both regeneration and immune responses are especially interesting, and in the past few years, many researchers have been trying to elucidate the deep relationships between regeneration abilities and characteristics of the immune system by comparing different vertebrate and invertebrate model systems with varying regenerative abilities and types of immune systems (Godwin et al., 2017; Neves et al., 2016; Tasiemski and Salzet, 2017).

     summary: Although the tunicate taxon sampling is still insufficient to draw definitive conclusions, the current data suggest that the tunicate tRNA gene number could vary in a species-specific manner. In spite of the scarce data, it is evident that ascidian mtDNAs possess several unusual features compared to other chordates, such as a fast nucleotide substitution rate (Yokobori et al., 1999, 2005), gene orders that are extremely variable both within the class and compared to other metazoans (Gissi et al., 2004; Yokobori et al., 2005; Iannelli et al., 2007a), and a variable number of tRNA genes (Gissi and Pesole, 2003; Gissi et al., 2004; Iannelli et al., 2007a).

     summary: The efficient capacity of Asaia of colonizing adults and larvae of A. stephensi and the discovery of this bacterium in other insect vectors (i.e., other Anopheles species and Scaphoideus titanus) rise the question of whether this bacterium can cross- colonize different insect hosts. Key Words: symbiosis; host choice; symbiont genome degeneration; insect-bacteria interaction Introduction Insects are undoubtedly one of the most successful animal group in nature in view of the high number of species and the high number of individuals observed in insect population.

     summary: These activities share cells and mediators from vertebrates to invertebrates, suggesting a common origin (Ottaviani et al., 2007). These findings offer a molecular and genetic basis for our hypothesis that the immune response and stress (neuroendocrine response) are both highly interconnected and conserved over the course of evolution (Ottaviani and Franceschi, 1997; Ottaviani et al., 2007).

Several reports have argued that JNK signaling actually down-modulates AMP gene expression (Kim et al., 2005, 2007), while another report has argued that JNK signaling is required for AMP induction (Delaney et al., 2006).

     summary: Furthermore, using the anti-rDHF antibody, the macrophage-like Drosophila embryonic hemocytes (SL2 cell line) have been found to promote the secretion of DHF following exposure to heat-inactivated bacteria and after the administration of the recombinant peptide rDHF (Malagoli et al., submitted). This hypothesis was reinforced not only by the data on CCF, but also by the absence of molecular evidence (immunoblot or PCR-derived data (Beschin et al., 2004) supporting the existence of invertebrate cytokines.

      flesch: 63
     summary: As demonstrated in this report, this same phenomenon involves NO release, which is coupled to opiate receptor activation, namely via μ3 ( Liu and Stefano, 1996; Liu et al., 1996; Magazine et al., 1996; Stefano and Scharrer, 1996; Stefano et al., 1996). In the case of Mytilus, if bacteria, viruses can’t survive or have a decreased infectious characteristic, why have a full functioning immune process with the activation of cytokines and opiate components at low temperature ( Stefano and Scharrer, 1994; Stefano and Salzet, 1999; Stefano et al., 2000, 2008; Stefano and Kream, 2008).

     summary: Even though there are several clues on the conservation of structure, receptors and signaling activities of invertebrate cytokines, if these molecules fail to constitute complex networks, should they still be called cytokines? No more than 6 years ago, the knowledge on invertebrate cytokines was limited and based on indirect evidence (Ottaviani et al., 2004), and the very existence of possible counterparts of vertebrate cytokines was disputed (Beschin et al., 2004).

To date, several cascade reactions including Drosophila Toll signaling cascade have been hypothesized to be regulated by a single “bottleneck” protease.

One copy would retain the ancestral state as multi-allelic locus deputed to control the synthesis of pheromones which are specific for each cell type, while the new copy would be manifested as mono-allelic locus deputed to control the synthesis of a pheromone which is shared in common by a group of different, but mutually interbreeding cell types.

     summary: Indeed, a continuous supply of ATP is required for F-actin polymerisation from G-actin, and to maintain the activity of non- muscle myosin ATPases that assist in actin and membrane recruitment, and provide motor activity around the phagocytic cup (García-García and Rosales, 2002; Kuiper et al., 2008). Because protein kinase cascades amplify signals by serially phosphorylating target kinases, it is likely that ATP utilization in phosphorylation reactions is quite significant (Krauss et al., 2001).

Also, the signals of LPS and other bacterial factors involve the activation of stress kinases, such as p38-MAPK, JNK o ERK (Canesi et al., 2002, Betti et al., 2006, Ciacci et al., 2010).

     summary: This result was not unexpected since defensins form a family of antibacterial peptides that is widely distributed in insects (Bulet et al., 1999; Lamberty et al., 1999), including the presence of defensins expressed in insect cell lines (Fallon and Sun, 2000). Insect defensins are active mainly against Gram-positive bacteria, even if some insect defensins are also active against the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and some fungi.

     summary: This is clearly evident during various parasitic diseases including malaria (Cernetich et al., 2006), schistosomiasis (Morales-Montor et al., 2008), toxoplasmosis (Henriquez et al., 2009), cysticercosis (Larralde et al., 1995), trypanosomiasis (Brazão et al., 2009), leishmaniasis (Snider et al., 2009), where strong hormonal regulation of the immune response has been described. The disproportionately high intensity and prevalence of schistosome infection in children, compared with adults, has been documented for decades, so understanding the mechanisms of this naturally occurring protection may guide efforts to develop a vaccine for schistosomiasis (Kurtis et al., 2006).

      flesch: 61
     summary: Functions of the tick saliva The tick saliva is a mixture that plays a variety of roles during parasitism and non-parasitism periods, as: modulating the immune system of the host (Fawcett et al., 1986; Ribeiro et al., 1985; Wikel, 1999; Sauer et al., 2000); attaching the tick to the host skin through the secretion of cement to form the cone (Fawcett et al., 1986); excreting excess water and ions from the food (blood) (Sauer et al., 2000); secreting hygroscopic solution, which is deposited in the mouth region and absorbs atmospheric water, hydrating the ectoparasite during non-parasitism periods (Sauer et al., 2000; Bowman and Sauer, 2004); producing secretions that lubricate the spermatophore during its transfer to the female during copulation (Feldman-Muhsam et al., 1970); releasing toxins that cause paralysis in the host (Fawcett et al., 1986) and conveying pathogens to the host (Fawcett et al., 1986; Wikel, 1999; Sauer et al., 2000; Bowman and Sauer, 2004). The tick saliva is a complex and sophisticated pharmacological arsenal effectively interacting with elements of the immune-inflammatory and hemostatic system of the host that can hold its defenses quickly since the first days of ectoparasite feeding (Ribeiro et al., 1985; Wikel, 1989; Brossard and Wikel, 1997, 2004; Francischetti et al., 2005, Steen et al., 2006).

     summary: We highlight the complexity of predicting evolution of aphid immune resistance in the field, due to variable selection pressures, short-term costs, and cross-talk between symbionts. Aphids can also carry secondary, facultative symbionts that are not required for survival but can be mutualistic in affecting positively various life history traits such as suitability to the plant host, heat tolerance, or protection against natural enemies (Montlor et al., 2002; Oliver et al., 2010).

     summary: So, the aims of the current study were the complete purification and characterization of salivary α-amylase to find its role in EOD process of preys. Miles (1968) divided insect saliva into three categories; i) saliva of hemipterans contains almost exclusively α-amylase like in Lygus disponsi Linnavuori (Hemiptera: Miridae), while other carbohydrases are just present in the alimentary canal, ii) phloem feeder insects like aphids in which carbohydrases are the only salivary enzymes, iii) seed feeder insects whose saliva contains proteases and esterases.

This assay showed that Drosophila larvae bleed more after wounding in the feeding stage of the third instar than in the wandering stage, in line with the change in numbers of hemocytes circulating in the different larval stages.

     summary: Indeed, the presence of genetic differences among clones could be very important for aphid evolution since several studies showed that cryptic sympatric speciation occurred in a wide range of aphid species (Loxdale, 2008a, b), including evidences of rapid chromosomal changes affecting speciation events in the aphids Rhopalosiphum maidis and Myzus persicae (Blackman, 1987; Brown and Blackman, 1988; Monti et al., 2012). Aphid clones cannot be considered as evolutionary individuals in any sense of the term neither the idea of aphids as a single genome species should be further considered in the light of the existence of the aphid hologenome.

     summary: Quantitative methods of analyzing gene expression at the transcriptional mailto:kpchen@ujs.edu.cn 95 Table 1 Candidate RGs and their primers for qPCR analysis level, such as quantitate polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), RNA blotting, RNase protection analysis, and gene chip technology, as well as quantitative methods that analyze expression at the protein level, such as western blotting, all require the calculation of a RG to target gene expression ratio to obtain reliable results. A lower M value indicates higher stability of gene expression (Bustin et al., 2009).

     summary: Now we show that the amyloid production is not only linked to precursor melanin activation and synthesis but it is fundamentally important to guaranty a state of cellular redox equilibrium due to regulation of ROS presence, i.e., amyloid fibrils production could be considered as a basic cellular compensatory response endeavouring to attenuate oxidative stress in different cell types.

     summary: Similarly, the expression of some genes related to the immune response is highly related to the microbiome composition since, for instance, microbial symbionts provide developmental signals that limit the proliferation of basophil progenitor cells and thereby prevent basophil-induced allergic responses in vertebrate, so that multiple populations of intestinal immune cells require the microbiota for their full development and function (Gilbert et al., 2012; Hill et al., 2012). At the same time, the dysregulation of immune responses versus the commensal microbiota is related to intestinal inflammations occurring directly in consequence of disequilibria between the finely tuned pro- and anti- inflammatory mechanisms within the gastrointestinal tract (Dupaul-Chicoine, 2010; Maloy and Powrie 2011).

     summary: Therefore, binding of histones to LPS released from Gram- negative bacteria may also block the production of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- α) that can often leads to fatalities from toxic shock in humans (Kim et al., 2002). Furthermore, recombinant human histones H2A and H2B efficiently kill promastigotes of the parasites Leishmania amazonensis, L. major, L. braziliensis, and L. mexicana (Wang et al., 2011).

     summary: Recent results indicate that, when present at high levels, the ion causes cell toxicity, mainly related to the induction of oxidative stress and the activation of the apoptotic pathway (Barbier et al., 2010; Gutowska et al., 2010; Jacinto-Alemán, 2010; Wang et al., 2010; Liu et al., 2011). The observed occurrence of apoptosis is likely related to the induction of oxidative stress: this hypothesis fits previous observations demonstrating that one of the main effects of fluoride on cells is the inhibition of antioxidant enzymes and the increase of NADPH oxidase activity with the consequent production of reactive oxygen species (Barbier et al., 2010; Izquierdo-Vega et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2011).

     summary: Studies referring the effect of PAH on this parameter indicate that benzo[a]pyrene inhibits lysozyme activity in the hemolymph of bivalves (Gopalakrishnan et al., 2009; Matozzo et al., 2009; Gopalakrishnan et al., 2011). Studies on the immunotoxicity of PAH in molluscs have demonstrated drastic changes in the immunocompetence of this type of organism (Sauve et al., 2002; Gagnaire et al., 2004; Thiagarajan et al., 2007).

     summary: Similarly, non-virulent strains of Wolbachia can extend Drosophila life span (Fry and Rand, 2002) and experiments performed using axenic cultures and antibiotic treatment revealed that exposure to bacteria during the first week of adult life increased longevity by 30 - 35 % in flies (Pletcher et al., 2002; Seroude et al., 2002; Brummel et al., 2004). The possible regulative role of A. pomorum in fly life span is not surprising taking into account that the digestive tract of many insect species harbours several bacteria that perform different beneficial functions to their host and may affect host longevity 75 Fig.

The presence of immune responses within sea anemone species have received little or virtually no attention, but their biology suggests that disease- resisting defenses would be adaptive.

     summary: It is known that neoplasia is a pathological process characterized by an overgrowth of a new tissue in the context of a pre-existing one, and consists of atypical cells, a term which incorporates the sum of the differences in morphological, biochemical and functional features of cancer cells relative to normal cells (Carella et al., 2013). Recently, we described at last two different types of leukemia in two different bivalve species (Mytilus galloprovincialis and Cerastodema edule), showing distinctive morphological and histo-pathogenetic behaviour of cells (Carella et al., 2013).

     summary: We selected two different cell lines, MGC803 and BmN, and constructed two vectors (PCDNA3.0 and PIZ/V5) to encode BmMyosin II ELC protein fused to the Flag epitope tag at the COOH terminus (C-Flag-BmMyosin II ELC) ( Clarke et al., 2007). Polyclonal antibody of BmMyosin II ELC was prepared by immunizing a laboratory rat (Rattus rattus) using purified Myosin II ELC as antigen (Zhang et al., 2012).

     summary: In this ascidian, an inflammatory response after inoculation of erythrocytes (Parrinello et al., 1984a, b), foreign proteins (Parrinello, 1981), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Parrinello et al., 2007), has been shown in tunic and pharynx where hemocytes and humoral components are involved. In the pharynx, compartment cells (hemocytes with large vacuoles) express CitypeIX- collagen 1α-chain (Vizzini et al., 2008), galectin-like lectins (Vizzini et al., 2012), tumor necrosis factor-α-like cytokine (CiTNF-α; Parrinello et al., 2008, 2010), a mannose-binding lectin (Bonura et al., 2009) and a cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5, and pathogenesis- related 1 proteins (Bonura et al., 2010).

     summary: For this purpose, nanotubes at different concentration will be then added at primary cell cultures to study some aspects of their effects on cell morphology, cell stress response, cell viability and death events. Ultrastructural analysis at TEM suggests that short and curled MWCNTs may be internalized by phagocytosis or during the process of matrix degradation, while straight and rigid MWNCTs seem to be able to pierce cell membranes during cells migration and are then found free in the cytosol.

     summary: These data indicate that autophagy prevents Bombyx cells and other Lepidoptera insect cells from death at an early stage of non-favorable conditions (Wu et al., 2011; Romanelli et al., 2014). Finally, the mature autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes to form autolysosomes, in which bulk degradation of dysfunctional proteins, unnecessary organelles, and invading microorganisms is completed (Klionsky et al., 2012).

The expression of PAC1-receptor was investigated by immunocytochemical and immunoserological methods (Western blot and Far Western blot) during the embryonic development of E. fetida and showed its existence in germinal layers and developing ventral nerve cord ganglia (Boros et al., 2010).

      flesch: 40
     summary: This stresses the selective value of allorecognition, that may have played a role in the generation of specific immune systems of many Metazoa, and which reached its highest complexity in vertebrates with the appearance of adaptive immune systems. Because of the involvement of MHC, the answers to these two questions will perhaps help placing allorecognition in the context of the evolution of adaptive immune systems.

     summary: With the discovery that X-ray irradiation could abrogate regenerative powers in vertebrates, researchers of worm regeneration combined this technique with transplantation experiments to test whether grafting from an intact, regeneration- capable donor could rescue an irradiated, regeneration-disabled host (Fig. 4C, left). In contrast, it has been found that extirpation of the brain greatly inhibits posterior regeneration (Fig. 4B, center and right) in earthworms (Clitellata: Lumbricidae), ragworms (Errantia: Nereididae) and catworms (Errantia: Nepthydae) (Kropp, 1933; Hubl, 1956; Clark and Clark, 1959; Hauenschild, 1960; Clark and Evans, 1961; Golding, 1967a, b).

     summary: This suggests that nicotinic cholinergic receptors are involved in the autotomy reflex, and offers sustenance to the notion that the nervous system is fundamentally implicated in earthworm autotomy. In contrast, we have found recently that multiply stimulations with the pulsating direct electric current from a 4.5 V cell phone electric charger leads to posterior segment autotomy in the eco-physiologically contrasting lumbricids Eisenia andrei (a litter- inhabiting ‘epigeic’ species) and Aporrectodea caliginosa (an ‘edogeic’ inhabitor of mineralized soil).

     summary: Moreover, in situ hybridization experiments using a bovine ACTH receptor cDNA probe evidenced that M. galloprovincialis immunocytes express an mRNA encoding for a molecule similar to ACTH receptor (Ottaviani et al., 1998). Phagocytosis shows a different behavior with respect to chemotaxis (Ottaviani et al., 1994), and in contrast to the conventional paradigm, there is no direct correlation between the two processes in molluscan immunocytes.

     summary: For instance, in a pennellid copepod Phrixocephalus cincinnatus Wilson, 1908 that infects the eyes of flatfishes, the cuticle surface of the holdfast is covered with numerous, fine microvillosities that are occasionally in contact with host cells and may be involved in molecular exchange between parasite and host (Perkins, 1994). This array of protuberances might be involved in suppression of the host immune response, because the cephalothorax has direct contact with the host connective tissues and similar structures are found on other parasitic copepods inhabiting host tissue.

     summary: Synthetic pesticides or chemical insecticides used for controlling S. litura have started to fail as populations of S. litura start to develop chemical resistance (Sintim et al., 2009; Senthil-Nathan et al., 2013). A. paniculata extracts have been reported as an antifeedant and ovicidal activity against insects (Hermawan et al., 1993), but activity of andrographolide on S. litura has yet to be evaluated.

     summary: Instead, bioindicators can be considered as responses to changes of environmental conditions at the levels of population, species, community, ecosystem, and landscape (the latter in Adams et al., 2001). The latter is essentially due to their life-history characteristics and to their relatively rapid response to anthropogenic and natural stress descriptors (Roméo and Gnassia-Barelli, 1997; Cheggour et al., 2001; Griscom et al., 2002; Lecoeur et al., 2004; Baudrimont et al., 2005; Machreki-Ajmi and Hamza-Chaffai, 2008; Smaoui- Damak et al., 2009; Serafim and Bebiano, 2010; Ramos-Gomez et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2012).

     summary: In contrast, Relf and Chisholm (1999) reported that the antibacterial protein from the granular hemocytes of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas is stable after heating to 100 ⁰C. Presence of antibacterial activity against all the four bacterial species in the precipitation obtained with 75 % ammonium sulphate or the supernatant obtained after precipitating the protein with 10 % TCA indicated that the molecule(s) responsible for serum antibacterial activity appear to be proteinaceous in nature. 289 Fig. 4 pH stability of serum antibacterial activity of mud crab, Scylla serrata.

       words: 8124
      flesch: 53
     summary: On the one hand, ammonia and nitrate are the main toxic product of protein catabolism in the aquatic system, which are generated mainly in the mineralization process of organic wastes such as unconsumed feed and feces (Chen et al., 1989; Cheng et al., 2013; Ren et al., 2015); on the one hand, ammonia and nitrate can increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in aquatic ecosystem, resulting in acidification (Camargo and Alonso, 2006), and are essential, life-sustaining, nitrogen-containing compounds used by many aquatic microorganisms (Pinto et al., 2016). By contrast, the present study indicated that ammonia and nitrite accumulation had significantly higher lethality but similar inhibitory effects on physiological processes involved in body mass increase in treatment shrimp; this could be because exposure to high levels of ambient ammonia induces increased energy expenditure that regulates osmotic and ionic stress (Young-Lai et al., 1991; Spaargaren 1982; Chen and Cheng 1993b, c), resulting in reduced growth; meanwhile, there might be a resulting synergistic effect of ammonia and nitrite accumulation in that energy expenditure for osmoregulation in treatment shrimp according to previous report (Cheng et al., 2013), which led to higher lethality in the present study.

     summary: Among all the animal origin types, c-type and g-type lysozymes are present in all the vertebrates, while invertebrates mainly produce i-type lysozymes and partially produce c-type, ch-type or g-type lysozymes (Callewaert and Michiels, 2010). Moreover, i-type lysozymes exhibit multiple activities, such as chitinase, isopeptidase, muramidase and non-enzymatic antibacterial activities (Van Herreweghe and Michiels, 2012).

     summary: To detect the impact of the BmBDV polyA on firefly luciferase gene expression levels driven by the p5 or ie1 promoters, two small fragments of BDVpA(63) with different restriction endonuclease sites (XbaI/SalI and XbaI/BamHI) were synthesized by annealing, cleaved with XbaI/SalI/BamHI to produce a sticky end, and inserted downstream of the firefly luciferase gene in the long fragments pGL3-p5-SV40 − and pGL3-ie1-SV40 − , which were retrieved from pGL3-p5-SV40 and pGL3-ie1-SV40 that are preserved in our laboratory, to produce two clones carrying the p5 or ie1 promoter upstream of the firefly luciferase gene with a downstream BDVpA(63) To determine the effect of the BmBDV polyA on gene expression, the expression of the green fluorescent protein and firefly luciferase was evaluated with the BmBDV polyA, compared with the much larger SV40 polyA, under the control of the p5 or ie1 promoter.

     summary: However, following microbial challenge, despite of the variation in experimental methods and species in the immune studies, different species approximately show similar immune response as innate immune system in insects remain conserved during evolutionary period (Wang et al., 2019). While, humoral immunity largely stimulates the immune deficiency (IMD) and Toll pathway, which produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) through a signal transduction cascade, melanin and reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Kanost et al., 2004; Kausar et al., 2017a).

     summary: When the sea cucumbers were challenged by V. splendidus, the expression level of AjSJL-1 mRNA in coelomocyte increased significantly (p < 0.01) at 12 h, suggesting it was induced by immune stimulation similar to the CTLs in other invertebrates (Wang et al., 2012; Drummond and Brown, 2013; Huang et al., 2013a; Huang et al., 2013b; Li et al., 2015a; Yang et al., 2015; Zhou and Sun, 2015). In the past decades, an increasing number of CTLs have been identified in various species (Mcnulty et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2012; Huang et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2017), which function in immune response either as cytomembrane receptors in immunocytes or as soluble proteins existing in tissue fluids (Wang et al., 2012; Huang et al., 2013a; Hoving et al., 2014).

     summary: In more recent years, Ottaviani turned his attention in particular to how his field of research might be linked to stress related disorders and inflammation, both because of their importance to human public health and as potential windows into the mechanisms that underlie human defense mechanisms and resistance to stress. During the last forty years, research performed by Enzo Ottaviani, provided significant insights to these old questions, which led to an innovative comprehension of how basic immune, environmental and more recently, genetic factors interact to give rise to different outcomes in individuals.

     summary: In grass carp, QM protein was significantly up-regulated by Aeromonas hydrophila and grass carp hemorrhagic virus (GCHV) infection, suggesting that QM protein gene is associated with anti-pathogens inflammatory response (Wen et al., 2005). The homolog of QM in chicken (JIF-1), a negative transcription regulator of c-Jun, could bind to the protooncogene c-Jun and suppressed AP-1 function, suggesting that QM protein gene may be involved in transcriptional regulation (Imafuku et al., 1999).

     summary: Some of these approaches include high doses of intravenously and sometimes repetitively injected Gold NPs which then can spread throughout the body coming in contact with many different cell types including immune cells. Since this is a branch of science in active development and still little is known about the potential effects of NPs on the immune system, especially in the context of long term and chronic exposure with concomitant pathologies, there is an urgent need to better understand the possible functions of AuNPs on immune cells with phagocytic properties such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs).

     summary: The humoral factors are represented by agglutinins, lectins, nitric oxide, cytokine-like molecules (lm), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-lm, enkephalin-lm, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide-lm, e.g. adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH), α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and β -endorphin (for reviews, see Stefano et al., 1989; Ottaviani, 1992; Ottaviani et al., 1997). Humoral and cellular experiments, bacterial clearance studies, and the specific responses found in molluscan transplantations suggest the presence of a memory- type response of short duration (Ottaviani et al., 1986; Ottaviani, 1990; Ottaviani and Vergine, 1990).

     summary: In the gill, MyHSP90 expression was the highest level at 26 °C, and the maximal expression level was 130 times higher than that of the control temperature (15 °C) (p < 0.05). Unlike with HSP70, only a few studies have demonstrated that thermal stressors stimulate HSP90 expression in molluscs (Choi et al., 2008; Liu et al., 2015), including two species of scallop Azumapecten (Chlamys) farreri and A. irradians (Gao et al., 2007, 2008).

     summary: Different antigens can selectively stimulate both proliferation and migration of immune cells that can be classified as macrophage- like cells, NK-like cells or granulocytes (not only for their morphological aspect but also for the expression of specific CD antigens). In leeches, the granulation tissue stage is characterized by a massive angiogenesis and fibroplasia: -the formation of new vessels is a complex process based on a finely regulated network of cellular and molecular events, involving a great variety of ECM proteins and cytokines; -the production of connective tissue, with the maturation of collagen fibrils, leads to the formation of new solid extracellular matrix network, which can be used as a scaffold not only for tissue reconstruction, but also for migration of immune cells and for directing new vessels growth.
