? 2022Macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) is a scavenger receptor that plays a crucial role in the immune response against microbial infections. To clarify the roles of fish MARCO in Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) infection, we identified and characterized Ec-MARCO in the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). The Ec-MARCO encoded a 370-amino acid protein with transmembrane region, coiled coil region and SR domain, which shared high identities with reported MARCO. The abundant transcriptional level of Ec-MARCO was found in spleen, head kidney and blood. And the Ec-MARCO expression was significantly up-regulated in grouper spleen (GS) cells after infection with SGIV in vitro. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that Ec-MARCO was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm and on the cell membrane. Ec-MARCO knockdown in vitro significantly inhibited SGIV infection in GS cells, as evidenced by reduced decreased SGIV major capsid protein (MCP) transcription and MCP protein expression. Further studies showed that Ec-MARCO knockdown positively regulated proinflammatory cytokines and interferon-stimulated genes, and enhanced IFN and ISRE promoter activities. However, overexpression of Ec-MARCO did not affect SGIV entry into host cells. In summary, our results suggested that Ec-MARCO affected SGIV infection by regulating antiviral innate immune response.
