Abstract 

Sea star TLR receptorsweredescribed in the presentpaper. Most of them correspond to mouse TLR in theirgenome. Twootheroneswerefound in Drosophilamelanogaster and itsgenome.

Introduction 

At the end of the 20 th century, Tollalsonamed Drome wasshown to be an essential receptor for host defenseagainstfungal infection in Drosophilamelanogasterwhichonly has innateimmunity.Later a mammalianhomolog of the Tollreceptor (nownamed TLR4) wasdiscovered to induce expression of genesinvolved in inflammatoryresponse.Furthermore, activation of innateimmunityis a criticalstep to the development of adaptative immunitywhichhas been described in mammals and also in sea star immune system [1].The aim of the presentwork, is to report genomicstudiesconcerning TLR in immunized and non-immunizedsea stars to HRP.

Materials and Methods

Sea stars wereobtainedfrom the Biology Institute (GothenbughUniversity) Immunizations, genomic studies were already described[2].. Afterligation of adapters for Illumina's GSII sequencing system, the cDNAwassequenced on theIllumina GSII platformsequencing. 1.100 bpfrom one side of the approximately 200 bp fragments sequences were assembled using Velvet (Zerbino and Birney : [3])

Results 

First resultsconcern significative TLR genesfound in control sea stars (a) and immunizedsea stars (HRP) (b and c) as compared to Drosophilamelanogastergenome :

Discussion and Conclusion 

It seemsnowobviousthat the recognition of microbial components by TLRsinitiates signal transduction pathwayswhichtriggers expression of genes. Thesegeneproducts, in Asteriasrubens, control innate immune responses and furtherinstuctdevelopment of antigen-specific adaptative immunitywhichinduces the production of the « invertebrate primitive antibody » [1].On the other hand, the presence of TLR9 (Toll-9 isoform B in Drosophila) confirms the rôleof this TLR whichmediates induction of NF Kappa-B in human[4] and maybe in sea star. Werecall the discovery, recently, of NF Kappa-B genes in sea star [5].
