The Chinese mitten crabEriocheir sinensisis an important economic crustacean that has been exposed to various diseases. Spiroplasmaeriocheiris, isolated from tremor-diseasedE. sinensis, was first identified as a lethal pathogen of freshwater crustaceans. To understand the pathogenesis ofS. eriocheiristoE. sinensis, the transcriptomic profiles of haemocytes in the experimental and control groups at 1 d and 7 d post-injection were obtained using Illumina HiSeq 2500. These results showed that 40,358,724, 44,462,112, 45,516,576 and 37,713,728 paired-end clean reads were obtained from the cDNA libraries of DZ1 (the control group at 1 d), DZ7 (the control group at 7 d), SY1 (the experimental group at 1 d) and SY7 (the experimental group at 7 d), respectively. In total, 106,641 unique transcript fragments (unigenes) were assembled, with an average length of 710 bp. On the first day of stimulation, 33,084 up-regulated transcripts and 19,208 down-regulated transcripts were found in the experimental group compared with those in the control group. On the seventh day of stimulation, 40,198 up-regulated transcripts and 12,032 down-regulated transcripts were found in the experimental group compared with those in the control group. Some canonical immune-related pathways were identified via KEGG pathway analysis, including complement and coagulation cascades, the VEGF signalling pathway, the Wnt signalling pathway, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, the MAPK signalling pathway, neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions, and the Lysosome pathway. We found important immune-related genes (GNPTAB, MASP2, F7, F5, NFATC, TRAF6, MAP3K5, and TRa) in the KEGG pathway, and those genes were confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis. In addition, the significantly enriched neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway was associated with intense paroxysmal tremors of infected crabs. Our results provide valuable information for the further analysis of the mechanisms ofE. sinensisdefence againstS. eriocheirisinvasion.
