Abstract

In this present study, the full length of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) cDNA from large yellow croaker (Larmichthys crocea) was obtained by homology-based cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) techniques. And, the expression level of cPLA2 gene of large yellow croaker larvae at different days of age was measured by real-time quantitative PCR method. Sequence analysis results showed that the full-length of cPLA2 cDNA (GenBank accession No.: KF006240.1) was 2 660 bp, which consists of 2 169 bp in size with an open-reading frame (ORF) encoding 723 amino acids, a 176 bp 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR) and a 205 bp 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR). Phylogenetic tree analysis results showed that the cPLA2 gene of large yellow croaker had a closer relationship with other fish species, but had a distant relationship with mammalian. Quantitative determination results showed that with the days of age of large yellow croaker increasing, the expression level of cPLA2 gene was significantly increased at first (1, 3 and 7 days of age vs. 15 days of age, P<0.05) and the 15 days of age had the highest value, then significantly decreased (15 days of age vs. 19 days of age, P<0.05), maintained stable until the end of the experiment. In conclusion, the key enzyme of phospholipid catabolism-cPLA2 gene expression level show a regular variation during the deformation process from larvae to juvenile of large yellow croaker, which may has an important significance for keeping the dynamic equilibrium of phospholipids and maintaining the fluidity of membrane. The change trend of cPLA2 gene expression level of large yellow croaker larvae can estimate the development of digestive system of large yellow croaker in a certain degree.
