As an important economical shellfish in coastal area of China, abalone is susceptible to bacterial infection, especially Vibiro parahemolyticus (V parahemolyticus). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been extensively investigated in the immune response of mammals. However, little is known about the involvement of MMP in abalone innate immune system against pathogen infection. In this study, the role of MMP-1 in the immune response of Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) was explored. The results showed that V. parahemolyticus infection induced significantly elevated expression of MMP-1 as well as immune related genes including allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF-1), macrophage expressed gene 1 (MPEG-1) and TPA-inducible sequence 11 family protein (Tis11FP). Notably, silencing of MMP-1 reduced the expression of these genes, suggesting that MMP-1 was an upstream regulatory factor in V. parahemolyticus infection. Further analysis showed that MMP-1 was engaged in the regulation of cellular (phagocytosis, apoptosis) and humoral [superoxide dismutase (SOD), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP)] immunity. Interestingly, the extracellularly distributed MMP-1 could be translocated to the nuclei of hemocytes, thereby functioning as a transcriptional regulator or by selectively activating or inactivating other components through proteolysis. Hence, our study established an important role of MMP-1 in abalone innate immunity against V. parahemolyticus infection and it represented the first report on the investigation of MMP in abalone.
