Transcriptome analysis of hagfish leukocytes: a framework for understanding the immune system of jawless fishes

Abstract

Jawless fishes occupy a critical phylogenetic position in understanding the origin of the adaptive immune system. Here, we performed large-scale expressed sequence tag analysis of leukocytes isolated from the inshore hagfish Eptatretus burgeri. Although we found many immunity-related genes such as those involved in lymphocyte or hematopoietic cell signaling and development as well as cytokine and cytokine receptor genes, MHC molecules or antigen receptors were not identified. We characterized two hagfish cDNAs that closely resembled mammalian proteins with essential roles in adaptive immunity, one encoding a GATA3-like molecule and another encoding a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk)-like molecule. The GATA3-like gene of hagfish was equidistant from GATA3 and GATA2 in jawed vertebrates. Similarly, the hagfish Btk-like molecule was not Btk itself, but qualified as a pre-duplicated form of Btk and Bmx in jawed vertebrates. In total, our work provides circumstantial evidence that adaptive immunity is unique to jawed vertebrates.

B cell Differentiation

Depending on the signal received through the B cell receptor and other receptors, B cells differentiate into follicular or marginal zone B cells. Here is the latest research pertaining to this differentiation process.
