The ninth complement component (C9) is a terminal complement component (TCC) that is involved in creating the membrane attack complex (MAC) on the target cell surface. In this study, the CsC9 (C9 of Cynoglossus semilaevis) cDNA sequence was cloned and characterized. The full-length CsC9 cDNA measured 2,150 bp, containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,803 bp, a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of 24 bp and a 3'-UTR of 323 bp. A domain search revealed that the CsC9 protein contains five domains, including two TSP1s, an LDLRA, an EGF, and a MACPF. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that CsC9 at the mRNA level was expressed in all the tested tissues, with the highest expression being observed in the liver. CsC9 expression is significantly upregulated in the tested tissues after challenge with Vibrio anguillarum. To further characterize the role of CsC9, peripheral blood mononuclear cells of C. semilaevis were used for transcriptome analysis after incubation with recombinant CsC9 (rCsC9) protein. A total of 3,775 significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the control and the rCsC9-treated group, including 2,063 upregulated genes and 1,712 downregulated genes. KEGG analyses revealed that the DEGs were enriched in cell adhesion molecules, cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, T cell receptor signaling pathways, B cell receptor signaling pathways and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. The results of this study indicate that in addition to participating in MAC formation, CsC9 might play multiple roles in the innate and adaptive immunity of C. semilaevis.
