摘要: The Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) holds significant economic importance within the fishing industry along the eastern coasts of China. In recent years, the frequent outbreaks of bacterial diseases have become a common concern as the aquaculture scale expands. The majority of the diseased fish exhibit symptoms such as skin congestion, damage and skin ulceration. As the skin serves as the first line of defense against bacterial infections, establishing a skin cell line for immunological research on Chinese tongue sole's response to bacterial infection is of utmost importance. In this study, a cell line named CSS (derived from the skin of the Chinese tongue sole) was successfully established. The cells have demonstrated stability during passages and exhibit a multipolar fibroblast-like morphology. They were cultured in L-15 medium with 20% serum and have been successfully passed through 60 passages over a period of 20 months. The identification of the mitochondrial CO1 gene confirmed that the cell originated from Chinese tongue sole. The karyotype detection revealed that the cell had a chromosome number of 2n = 42. After being stored in liquid nitrogen for 15 months, the cells can maintain more than 75% viability upon recovery. After transfecting with cy3-labeled scramble siRNA and pEGFP-N3 plasmid, clear fluorescence was observed in the transfected cells. We observed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli significantly upregulate the gene expression of various immune-related pathways at 2 h in the CSS cell line. Additionally, the differentially expressed genes showed a higher enrichment in immune-related pathways at 2 and 6 h after stimulation compared to the 24 h point. Moreover, we identified 347 genes that exhibited a gradual increase in expression during the 0-24 h stimulation period. These genes were primarily enriched in pathways related to Autophagy, GABAergic synapse, Apelin signaling and Ferroptosis. In general, the CSS cell line established in this study exhibits stable growth and can serve as a valuable tool for in vitro studies of immunology and other basic biologies of Chinese tongue sole.
