WANG Caihui,LEI Shuhua,CHEN Min,et al.Characterization of Wnt genes in Argopecten scallops and their involvement in response to different temperature stresses in “Bohai Red” scallops[J].Journal of Oceanology and Limnology,2023,41(03):1122-1132.
As “Bohai Red” scallops were originated from the hybrids between the Peruvian scallop (
Argopecten purpuratus
) and the bay scallop (
Argopecten irradians
) northern subspecies (
Argopecten irradians irradians
). Twelve
Wnt
members were identified from the two subspecies of bay scallop
and 13
Wnt
genes were found in the genome of the Peruvian scallop. Protein structure analyses showed that most
Wnt
genes poses all 5 conserved motifs except
Wnt1
Wnt2
Wnt6
and
Wnt9
in the bay scallops and
Wnt
2 and
Wnt9
in the Peruvian scallop. Unexpectedly
Wnt8
gene was present while
Wnt3
was absent in both the bay scallops and the Peruvian scallop. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that
Wnt3
might have disappeared in the early evolution of mollusks. The expression profile of
Wnt
genes in the “Bohai Red” exposed to different temperatures was examined by qRT-PCR. Results show that expression of Wnt genes responded differentially to temperature changes. The
Wnt
genes such as
Wnt1
Wnt6
Wnt7
Wnt11
and
WntA
that responded slowly to low and high temperature stresses may be related to the maintenance of basic homeostasis. Other
Wnt
genes such as
Wnt4
Wnt9
Wnt5
and
Wnt2
that responded rapidly to low temperature may play an important role in organismal protection against low temperature stress. And yet some
Wnt
genes including
Wnt10
Wnt16
and
Wnt8
that responded quickly to high temperature stress may play key roles in response to high temperature stress. The results provide new insights into the evolution and function of
Wnt
genes in bivalves and eventually benefit culture of “Bohai Red” scallops.
