The main physiological function of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) in vertebrates is to regulate sexual development and reproduction. In fish, especially hermaphroditic fish, estrogen is often used to aid reproduction, but it also can trigger an inflammatory response. However, the molecular mechanism for this E2-induced inflammatory reaction is not clear. In this study, we found that the ERp-CXCL19/CXCR4-NF kappa B cascade regulated the E2-induced inflammatory response in the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). Strikingly, E2 treatment resulted in significantly high expression of inflammatory cytokines and induced phosphorylation and degradation of I kappa B alpha and translocation of NF kappa B subunit p65 to the nucleus in grouper spleen cells. However, the E2-induced inflammatory response could be prevented by the broad estrogen receptor (ER) ligand ICI 182,780. Moreover, the luciferase assay showed that E2 induced the inflammatory response by activating the promotor of chemokine CXCL19 through ER beta 1 and ER beta 2. Knockdown of CXCL19 blocked the E2-induced inflammatory response and NF kappa B nucleus translocation. Additionally, knockdown of chemokines CXCR4a and CXCR4b together, but not alone, blocked the E2-induced inflammatory response. The immunofluorescence assay and co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that CXCL19 mediated the E2-induced inflammatory response by activating CXCR4a or CXCR4b. Taken together, these results showed that the ER beta-CXCL19/CXCR4-NF kappa B pathway mediated the E2-induced inflammatory response in grouper. These findings are valuable for future comparative immunological studies and provide a theoretical basis for mitigating the adverse reactions that occur when using E2 to help fish reproduce.
