HMGB2, a member of the high mobility group box family, plays an important role in host immune responses. However, the mechanism of action of HMGB2 is not well understood. Herein, a homologue from yellow catfish (Pelteobagrusfulvidraco) was cloned and named PfHMGB2. The deduced amino acid sequence of PfHMGB2 possessed a typical tripartite structure (two DNA binding boxes and an acid tail) and shared 90% identity with the predicted HMGB2 fromI. punctatus. The mRNA of PfHMGB2 was widely distributed in all 11 tested tissues in healthy fish bodies and was significantly induced in the liver and head kidney when yellow catfish were injected with inactivatedAeromonashydrophila. Consistently,PfHMGB2mRNA could also be induced in yellow catfish peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) by lipopolysaccharide. The recombinant PfHMGB2 protein was purified fromE. coliBL21 (DE3):pET-28a/PfHMGB2 and showed DNA-binding affinity. Moreover, rPfHMGB2 improved the phagocytosis and proliferation activity and upregulated the mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα in yellow catfish PBL. These results indicated that PfHMGB2 could protect yellow catfish from pathogen infection by activating PBL.
