Cryptochrome (Cry), as important flavoprotein, plays a key role in regulating the innate immune response, such as the release of inflammatory cytokines. In the present study, a cryptochrome homologue (EsCry) was identified from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis, which contained a typical DNA photolyase domain, a FAD binding domain. The transcripts of EsCry were highly expressed at 11:00, and lowest at 3:00 within one day, while those of Interleukin enhancer binding factor (EsILF), Lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor (EsLITAF), Tumor necrosis factor (EsTNF) and Interleukin-16 (EsIL-16) showed a rhythm expression pattern contrary to EsCry. After EsCry was knocked down by dsEsCry injection, mRNA transcripts of Timeless (EsTim), Cycle (EsCyc), Circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (EsClock), Period (EsPer), and EsLITAF, EsTNF, EsILF, EsIL-16, as well as phosphorylation level of Dorsal significantly up-regulated. The transcripts of EsLITAF, EsTNF, EsILF, and EsIL-16 in EsCry-RNAi crabs significantly down-regulated after injection of NF-κB inhibitor. The interactions of EsCyc and EsCry, EsCyc and Dorsal were observed in vitro. These results indicated that EsCry negatively regulated the expression of the cytokine TNF and IL-16 via inhibiting their transcription factor LITAF and ILF through NF-κB signaling pathway, which provide evidences to better understand the circadian regulation mechanism of cytokine production in crabs.
