Abstract
A total of 102 up-regulated and 82 down-regulated genes were identified in GIH-knockdown shrimp.
- Gonad-inhibiting hormone (GIH) negatively regulates vitellogenin (Vg) synthesis during ovarian maturation in crustaceans.
- Calreticulin (CALR) expression is significantly reduced in vitellogenic ovaries, indicating a potential role in vitellogenesis.
- Suppression of CALR using specific dsRNA results in elevated Vg transcript levels in the ovary.
- CALR may inhibit vitellogenin synthesis by binding to steroid hormone receptors, affecting gene expression.
- Findings suggest a novel pathway of GIH signaling that may disrupt the steroid signaling cascade to regulate Vg synthesis.
