Trained immunity refers to the memory acquired by innate immune cells, leading to cross-protection and non-specific responses to subsequent infection, thereby improving host survival. Trained immunity induction is a combined effect of immune signaling, metabolic changes, and epigenetic modifications. The present study evaluated the induction of markers of the phenomenon of trained immunity in common carp, which is trained using β-glucan. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mtor) and hypoxia-inducible factor (hif1α), the metabolic basis of trained immunity; the histone deacetylase (hdac7), one of the markers of epigenetic modifications, metabolic activity of activated cells and expression profiles of proinflammatory cytokines viz. il6a, tnfαa2, and ifnγ were targeted in the study and analyzed in vivo. Besides in vivo analysis, in vitro analysis of mtorc2, hif1α, hdac7, and ifnγ were analyzed. In vitro analyses were performed on head kidney macrophages isolated and maintained in L-15 media and double trained with β-glucan at 100μg/mL. The culture supernatant was collected at different time intervals and processed for expression studies. Healthy common carp were injected with β-glucan at 20 mg/kg body weight for training followed by a resting phase for 6 days and were restimulated with the same dose. Head kidney was collected from the fish post-induction as well as post-restimulation. The expression profile of mtorc2, hdac7, and hif1α were found elevated post-stimulation of β-glucan. Further, a significantly upregulated expression profile of proinflammatory cytokines (ifnγ, il6a and tnfαa2) was observed. Increased glycolysis in the cells post-β-glucan stimulation was confirmed by the high lactate and LDH production detected in the cell culture supernatant. Overall, the study revealed the expression profile of the trained immunity markers and the increased metabolic activity in cells induced with β-glucan, which further validates that the action of trained immunity is indispensable in fish on encounter with a potential ligand. The study supports the existing reports on trained immunity in teleost fish with evidence at the genomic level. However, further studies are required to understand the responses and actions of trained immune cells during infection in detail.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007113 Immunity, Innate The capacity of a normal organism to remain unaffected by microorganisms and their toxins. It results from the presence of naturally occurring ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS, constitutional factors such as BODY TEMPERATURE and immediate acting immune cells such as NATURAL KILLER CELLS.

D002347 Carps Common name for a number of different species of fish in the family Cyprinidae. This includes, among others, the common carp, crucian carp, grass carp, and silver carp.

D005936 Glucans Polysaccharides composed of repeating glucose units. They can consist of branched or unbranched chains in any linkages. Glucan,Polyglucose,Polyglucoses,Glucan (BO),Glucose Polymer,Polycose,Polymer, Glucose
D000076225 Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 2 A multiprotein complex consisting of mTOR KINASE; MLST8 PROTEIN; rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR protein (RICTOR PROTEIN); and PRR5 (proline-rich protein 5). Like mTORC1, it also regulates cell growth and proliferation in response to growth factors but may not be as sensitive to nutrient availability and is insensitive to SIROLIMUS. In contrast to mTORC1, it can regulate the ACTIN CYTOSKELETON through RHO GTPASES to promote the formation of STRESS FIBERS. The mTORC2 complex also plays a critical role in AKT1 PROTEIN KINASE phosphorylation and activation. MTORC-2,TOR Complex 2,TORC2,Target of Rapamycin Complex 2,mTORC2,Complex 2, TOR
D000094384 Trained Immunity Ability of the INNATE IMMUNITY system to form IMMUNOLOGIC MEMORY and provide enhanced defense against subsequent secondary infections. In trained immunity, long-term adaptation of innate immune cells occurs through EPIGENETIC PROCESSES and metabolic CELLULAR REPROGRAMMING to form long term immunologic memory.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
D047071 beta-Glucans Glucose polymers consisting of a backbone of beta(1->3)-linked beta-D-glucopyranosyl units with beta(1->6) linked side chains of various lengths. They are a major component of the CELL WALL of organisms and of soluble DIETARY FIBER. beta-Glucan,beta Glucan,beta Glucans
