Towards a better understanding of allograft-induced stress response in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii: Insights from iTRAQ-based comparative proteomic analysis

In this study, we took advantage of the iTRAQ-based proteomics and LC-MS/MS approach to look into allograft induced gene regulation at the protein expression level in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii, across a period of 30 days following nucleus implantation. A wide variety of proteins, including a group of immune-related proteins such as E3 ubiquitin-ligase and heat shock proteins, exhibited differential expression in response to the surgical operation. Further comparisons between different sampling points revealed that GO terms including "translation" and "oxidation-reduction process" and KEGG pathways including "glycolysis/gluconeogenesis" and "pyruvate metabolism" were significantly enriched at several time points, indicating the important roles of these molec...
