Hepcidin is a small, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide with a highly conserved β-sheet structure that plays a vital role in innate host immunity against pathogenic organisms. In this study, a hepcidin gene was identified inPelteobagrus fulvidraco, an economically important freshwater fish in China. The gene is namedPfHep. The completePfHepcDNA was 723 bp, including a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of 102 bp, a 3′-UTR of 339 bp and an open reading frame of 282 bp encoding a polypeptide of 93 amino acids, which includes a predicted signal peptide and the Hepcidin domain. The predicted mature, cationic PfHep protein has a typical hepcidin RX (K/R)R motif and eight conserved cysteine residues. The deduced PfHep protein sequence has 70%, 54% and 39% percent identity with hepcidins fromIctalurus punctatus,Danio rerio, andHomo sapiens, respectively. The predicted tertiary structure of PfHep is very similar to that of hepcidin in other animals. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PfHep is closely related to the hepcidins ofI. punctatusandI. furcatus. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed that thePfHepgene was expressed most in liver of healthyP. fulvidraco, and expressed to some extent in all the tissues tested. After challenge with lipopolysaccharide and polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid (poly I:C), respectively, the expression levels ofPfHepwere markedly upregulated in liver, spleen, head kidney and blood at different time points. Together these results imply that PfHep may be an important component of the innate immune system and be involved in immune defense against invading pathogens.
