Goldfish (Carassius auratusL.) have been used as a model organism to study innate immune system and host-pathogen interactions.Mycobacterium marinumis a Gram-positive bacterium that has been shown to infect many fish species. To increase knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of the host defense againstM. marinum, we conducted transcriptome analysis of spleen in goldfish 24 h post-infectionviaIllumina sequencing. Thede novoassembly resulted in the identification of 83,674 unigenes, with 69,050 (82.52.9%) successfully annotated in public databases (GO, KEGG, COG, NR, SwissProt and Pfam). Comparison of gene expression profiles betweenM. marinum-stimulated fish and PBS-injected fish (sham control) revealed 4200 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 2211 up-regulated and 1989 down-regulated. The DEGs were enriched in multiple immune-related pathways such as Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway. The data obtained in the present study offers valuable information for acute immune response of goldfish challenged withM. marinum, which will facilitate further investigations on strategies againstM. marinuminfection in teleosts.
