Apoptosis plays essential roles in the immune defense mechanism against pathogen infection. Caspase 3 is a family of cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis and the immune response. In this study, the full-length of mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) caspase 3 (designated as Sp-caspase 3) was cloned and characterized. The open reading frame of Sp-caspase 3 was comprised a 1035 bp, which encoded a putative protein of 344 amino acids. Sp-caspase 3 was ubiquitously expressed in various tissues with a high-level expression in hemocytes. Cellular localization analysis revealed that Sp-caspase 3 was located in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Over-expression of Sp-caspase 3 could induce cell apoptosis. In addition,V. Parahaemolyticusinfection induced the relative expression of caspase-3 mRNA and increased caspase-3 activity. Knocking down Sp-caspase 3 in vivo significantly reduced cell apoptosis and increased mortality of mud crab afterV. parahaemolyticusinfection. These results indicated that Sp-caspase 3 played important roles in the immune response and apoptosis against bacterial infection.
