BACKGROUND: Adrenergic receptors (ARs) specifically recognize and bind
catecholamines via conserved seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor
(GPCR) domains, which are regarded as critical mediators of immune responses in
molluscan species. RESULTS: In the present study, six ARs were identified in the
Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, which exhibited conserved structural features
of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs that were characterized by seven
transmembrane helices (TM1-TM7) and a DR(Y) motif within the third intracellular
loop. These receptors were classified into two subfamilies: ?-type (Cg?1A, Cg?2A,
Cg?2C, Cg?2Da, and Cg?2Db-ARs) and ?-type (Cg?2-AR). Notably, evolutionary
divergence between the Cg?2Da and Cg?2Db subtypes has led to the absence of their
orthologs in most vertebrate species. Both subtypes (Cg?2Da and Cg?2Db) are under
relaxed purifying selection (Ka/Ks?=?0.644 and 0.828, respectively).
Transcriptomic profiling revealed distinct spatiotemporal expression patterns,
with Cg?2A-AR, Cg?2C-AR, and Cg?2Da-AR predominantly expressed in hemocytes.
Among them, Cg?2C-AR and Cg?2Da-AR were enriched in granulocytes, whereas
Cg?2A-AR was preferentially expressed in agranulocytes. Moreover, transcripts of
Cg?2A-AR, Cg?2C-AR, and Cg?2-AR in hemocytes increased significantly following
the first Vibrio splendidus stimulation, with Cg?2A-AR exhibiting a significant
increase again after the secondary stimulation. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, these
results suggested that the retention of Cg?2Da/?2Db-AR subtypes in oysters under
relaxed selection pressure reflects an evolutionary strategy for immune
adaptability. Their lineage-restricted diversification drives differential
expression (e.g., Cg?2Da-AR in granulocytes) and post-challenge resilience (e.g.,
Cg?2A-AR upregulation), balancing energy conservation and pathogen defense. These
findings provided a foundation for further elucidation of their immunoregulatory
roles in oysters and contribute to an improved understanding of AR evolution in
invertebrates.
