17. Soha G. R. Abdel-Salam, Masakazu Tsujikura, Masakazu Kondo, Tomonori Somamoto, Miki Nakao, Purification and functional characterization of complement C3 and a novel zymosan-binding protein in tilapia serum, FISHERIES SCIENCE, 10.1007/s12562-014-0700-7, 80, 2, 301-310, 2014.03, Zymosan, a yeast cell wall preparation that binds activated forms of complement C3, is a useful model target to activate the complement system. In our trial to analyze C3 diversity in Nile tilapia at the protein level using zymosan, we found that a novel 240-kDa serum protein (ZBP-240) also bound to zymosan in addition to C3-derived fragments. In the present study, we aimed to characterize tilapia C3 and ZBP-240, focusing on their immune-related functions. Four distinct C3 isoforms were purified from tilapia serum and shown to possess an intrachain thioester bond. ZBP-240 was also isolated from tilapia serum and examined for its binding properties to various microbial targets. As a result, ZBP-240 showed a wide spectrum of binding to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Amino acid sequence analysis of CNBr fragments of ZBP-240 suggested that this is a novel protein with no homologous sequence in protein databases. It was also suggested that the binding of ZBP-240 to microbes largely depends on hydrophobic interactions in a divalent-cation-independent manner, and that there may be a divalent-cation-dependent factor that enhances the binding of ZBP-240 in tilapia serum. Interestingly, ZBP-240 showed opsonic activity for tilapia kidney phagocytes at a level comparable to that of C3, implying that ZBP-240 is a novel teleost opsonic serum protein..

Abdelkhalek, Asuka Komiya, Yoko Kato-Unoki, Tomonori Somamoto, Mild Nakao, Identification of Immune Relevant Genes Using Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) in Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) Gills and Intestine, JOURNAL OF THE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE KYUSHU UNIVERSITY, 59, 1, 109-116, 2014.02, Identification of immune related molecules that function in fish organs is important for better understanding of the host defense mechanisms in fish. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) represent the expressed portion of a genome, so they have proven to be useful tool for gene identification and confirmation of gene predictions. In the present study, a transcriptome analysis of carp gill and intestine EST libraries have been done as an attempt to identify the immune relevant genes expressed in those organs. A total of 2148 EST clones were generated from the two libraries: 1099 clones from gill library in which 632 clones were matched with functional proteins and 1049 clones from intestine library in which 559 clones were matched with functional proteins. The results of gill EST library has more frequency of innate immune molecules containing MHC class I and MEG class II, which showed 18.3% of the immune molecules than those in intestine library which represents 10.8% only. The gill library also showed higher frequency of the cytokines and chemokine molecules and/or their receptors compared to the intestine library..

21. Satoko Ichiki, Yoko Kato-Unoki, Tomonori Somamoto, Miki Nakao, The binding spectra of carp C3 isotypes against natural targets independent of the binding specificity of their thioester., Developmental and comparative immunology, 10.1016/j.dci.2012.03.004, 38, 1, 10-6, 2012.09, The central component of complement, C3, plays a versatile role in innate immune defense of vertebrates and some invertebrates. A notable molecular characteristic of this component is an intra-chain thioester site that enables C3 to bind covalently to its target. It has been reported that the binding preference of the thioester to hydroxyl or amino groups is primarily defined by presence or absence of the catalytic histidine residue at position 1126 in human C3. In teleosts, a unique C3 (non-His type) has been found, in addition to the common His type C3. These distinct C3 isoforms may provide diversity in the target-binding attributable to the different binding specificities of their thioesters. In the present study, we examine the hypothesized correlation of the catalytic histidine with the binding spectra of two major C3 isotypes of carp towards various model and natural targets. The results reveal that non-His type C3, rather than His type C3, has a wider range of binding spectrum, despite the binding specificity of its thioester being limited to amino groups. It is therefore hypothesized that the binding spectra of C3 isotypes are not defined by the binding specificity of the thioester but is more affected by differences in microbe-associated molecular patterns that activate complement. Overall, the present data imply that non-His type C3 plays a significant role against bacterial infections in the fish defense system..

Hideaki Toda, Yasutaka Saito, Takuhito Koike, Fumio Takizawa, Kyosuke Araki, Takeshi Yabu, Tomonori Somamoto, Hiroaki Suetake, Yuzuru Suzuki, Mitsuru Ototake, Tadaaki Moritomo, Teruyuki Nakanishi, Conservation of characteristics and functions of CD4 positive lymphocytes in a teleost fish., Developmental and comparative immunology, 10.1016/j.dci.2011.01.013, 35, 6, 650-60, 2011.06, The presence of helper and cytotoxic T cells in fish has been suggested, although T cell subsets have yet to be identified at the cellular level. In order to investigate the functions of CD4 and CD8α positive T cells we attempted to produce and characterize monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against teleost CD4 and CD8α. Here we report the successful production of mAbs against CD4 and CD8α in clonal ginbuna crucian carp Carassius auratus langsdorfii and the function of CD4 positive T cells. In this study we demonstrate the presence of teleost CD4- and CD8α-positive T cell subsets with morphology, tissue distribution and gene expression similar to those of mammalian CD4- and CD8-positive T lymphocytes. Using mAbs we found that CD4/CD8 double positive T cells are only present in the thymus, suggesting that it is the site of T cell development. We further demonstrated in vitro proliferation of CD4 positive T cells by allogeneic combination of mixed leukocyte culture and antigen-specific proliferation of CD4 positive T cells after in vitro sensitization with OVA. In our previous study we showed that CD8α-positive lymphocytes are the primary cell type showing specific cytotoxicity against allogeneic targets. Collectively, these findings suggest that CD4 and CD8α positive T cells in ginbuna are equivalent to helper and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in mammals, respectively. This is the first report to show the characteristics and functions of CD4 positive T cells in fish and these findings shed light into the evolutionary origins and primordial functions of helper T cells..

Vo Kha Tam, Masakazu Tsujikura, Tomonori Somamoto, Miki Nakao, Expression Responses of the Complement Components in Zebrafish Organs after Stimulation with Poly I:C, Mimicry of Viral Infection, JOURNAL OF THE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE KYUSHU UNIVERSITY, 54, 2, 389-395, 2009.10, Defensive roles of the complement system in fish are largely unknown, although expressions of several complement components have been examined in some teleost species upon bacterial and parasitic infections. To infer possible anti-virus defensive roles of the complement system in teleost, zebrafish were simulated by intraperitoneal injection of poly 1: C, a double strand RNA analogue, to mimic viral infection, and expression of 24 complement components and their subunits in the gill, brain, kidney, gut, hepatopancreas, gonad, heart, spleen, and skin were analyzed by reverse-transcription PCR. In normal (unstimulated) fish, the hepatopancreas showed highest expression of most genes tested, and considerable extra hepatic expression was also observed for many complement components. Upon stimulation, the hepatopancreas showed decreased expression of CD11/CD18, B/C2-A3, MASP3, and properdin, while marked up-regulation of several complement component genes was observed in the gill, suggesting an important but unknown role of the gill in host, defense against viral infection..
27. Vo Kha Tam, Masakazu Tsujikura, Tomonori Somamoto, Miki Nakao, Identification of cDNA Sequences Encoding the Complement Components of Zebrafish (Danio rerio), JOURNAL OF THE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE KYUSHU UNIVERSITY, 54, 2, 373-387, 2009.10, Zebrafish can be utilized for immunological research as a fish model that allows gene targeting, but lacks enough molecular and sequence information on the complement system, a humoral innate immune factor. The present study aimed at identification of all the major complement components at the molecular level with phylogenetic evidence. Complementary DNA sequences encoding C1q, C1r/s, C2 (B/C2-B), C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, factor B (B/C2-A), the mannose-binding lectin (MBL), two MBL-associated serine proteases, properdin, and factor I were identified by cloning from the hepatopancreas and by database mining. As reported for carp and trout, the presence of two distinct isotypes were confirmed for C3, C4, and C7 also in zebrafish, indicating the ancient evolutionary origin of their diversifications in the vertebrate lineage..

29. Seiko Nonaka, Tomonori Somamoto, Yoko Kato-Unoki, Mitsuru Ototake, Teruyuki Nakanishi, Miki Nakao, Molecular cloning of CD4 from ginbuna crucian carp Carassius auratus langsdorfii, FISHERIES SCIENCE, 10.1111/j.1444-2906.2008.01530.x, 74, 2, 341-346, 74: 341-346., 2008.04, The clonal triploid ginbuna crucian carp Carassius auratus langsdorfii, a naturally occurring gynogenetic fish, is a useful model for studying T-cell-mediated immunity. CD4, a T-cell receptor (TCR) coreceptor, is a membrane-bound glycoprotein found on helper T-cells, and assists in the binding of major histocompatibility complexes. In the present study, full-length cDNAs encoding the CD4 molecule from the S3n strain of ginbuna crucian carp were cloned and characterized. 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and 3'-RACE yielded two distinct cDNA clones of CD4 homolog from the ginbuna, and these sequences share 95% identity at the amino acid level. These ginbuna CD4 molecules consisted of a signal peptide, immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSf) like domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain similar to other known CD4. A tyrosine protein kinase p56(lck) binding motif is conserved in the cytoplasmic tail of ginbuna CD4. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that ginbuna CD4 sequences are closely related to CD4L-1 from other fish species. Expression of ginbuna CD4 mRNA was detected in the gill, thymus, head kidney, trunk kidney and peripheral blood leukocytes, indicating that its expression pattern is similar to that of ginbuna TCR beta mRNA. The results suggest that ginbuna CD4 sequences are useful as molecular probes for helper T-cells..

L J Moore, T Somamoto, K K Lie, J M Dijkstra, I Hordvik, Characterisation of salmon and trout CD8alpha and CD8beta., Molecular immunology, 42, 10, 1225-34, 2005.06, The genes and corresponding cDNAs of both alpha and beta chains of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) CD8 molecule have been sequenced and characterized. In addition, the cDNAs for alpha and beta chains of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and for the beta chain in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) have been sequenced. The cDNAs code for signal sequences which are preceded by short 5' UTRs. These are followed by typical immunoglobulin superfamily variable sequences all of which contain two conserved cysteines for the intra-chain disulphide bond. The hinge regions display conserved cysteines for dimerisation and several O-glycosylation motifs for each predicted protein. The domain sharing the highest sequence identity with mammals is the single pass transmembrane domain for all sequences. In salmon, each domain is predominantly coded for by a single exon except the cytoplasmic/3' UTR domains, which are coded for by 3 and 2 exons for the alpha and beta genes, respectively. In the alpha gene, the second cytoplasmic exon may be spliced out to form an alternative shorter transcript which if expressed would exhibit a truncated cytoplasmic tail. A splice variant found for the salmon beta gene introduces a stop codon after only 40 amino acids. Overall amino acid identities between salmonid sequences were higher than 90%, whereas they shared only 15-20% identity with species such as, chicken and human. Analysis of the expression patterns of the two salmon genes using quantitative RT-PCR shows a very high expression in the thymus. This is mirrored by the expression of the TCRalpha gene, which is known to be co-expressed with CD8 on mammalian T cells. This is the first report of a sequence for CD8beta in a teleost and together with the CD8alpha sequence, it encodes the ortholog of the CD8 co-receptor molecule on mammalian T cells..
