摘要
galectin-2 plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. In this study, galectin-2 (OnGal 2) was identified from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Its tissue distribution and expression patterns following bacterial infection were also investigated. OnGal-2 is widely distributed in various tissues of healthy tilapia. After Streptococcus agalactiae challenge, OnGal-2 expressions were significantly up-regulated in all tested tissues. Meanwhile, the recombinant OnGal-2 (rOnGal-2) protein showed strong agglutinating activities against both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, rOnGal-2 could promote phagocytosis of macrophages. Taken together, the present study indicated that OnGal-2 might play roles in the immune responses of Nile tilapia against bacterial pathogens.
