Profiles of extracellular vesicle shutter proteins from Chlamys farreri stimulated by Lipopolysaccharide. (PubMed, Dev Comp Immunol)
Further, PPI analysis was performed to predict the interactions between immune-related DEPs, which were mainly divided into proteins directly involved in immune regulation (such as HSP90B1, LAMP1, CALR, and RAB11A) and proteins indirectly involved in immune regulation by vesicle transport (such as TSG101, VAMP3, SNAP25, RAB14, and RAB2). These findings reveal that EVs play a central role in mediating innate immune regulation in C. farreri via cell communication under LPS stimulation, and are expected to provide important insights into disease-resistant breeding and aquaculture practices in shellfish.
