Macrobrachium rosenbergii is an important cultural species in China and other Southeast Asian countries. However, Enterobacter cloacae infection has caused a great economic loss in M. rosenbergii culture industry. The immune responses of M. rosenbergii to the E. cloacae infection is not fully characterized. To investigate the immune response of M. rosenbergii against E. cloacae, we performed transcriptome analysis of the M. rosenbergii hepatopancreas with and without E. cloacae infection using RNA-seq. After assembly and annotation, 29,731 high quality unigenes were obtained from RNA-seq data. Differential expression analysis revealed the existence of 2498 significantly differently expressed genes (DEGs) at 12 h post infection, with 1365 up-regulated and 1133 down-regulated genes. Among these DEGs, some well-known immune-related genes were up-regulated significantly, including C-type lectin 1, lectin 3, anti-lipopolysaccharide factor 2, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and heat shock protein 70. GO analysis demonstrated 24 biological process subcategories, 14 cellular component subcategories, and 12 molecular function subcategories that were enriched among these DEGs, and some DEGs were clustered into immune related subcategories such as immune system process, response to stimulus, biological adhesion, and antioxidant activity. These DEGs were enriched into 216 KEGG pathways including a core set of immune correlated pathways notably in phagosome and lysosome. In addition, 5 up-regulated and 5 down-regulated immune-related DEGs were selected for further validation by quantitative real-time PCR and the results showed consistence with the RNA-seq data. Additionally, the expression level of six selected immune-related genes (ALF2, CLEC1, LEC3, hemocyanin1, HSP70 and SOD) based on the transcriptomic data were monitored at different point of time in hepatopancreas, gill, hemolymph and intestine. Results revealed these immune-related genes were significantly up-regulated in different tissues from 6 to 24 h after E. cloacae infection. Overall, these results provided valuable information for further studying the immune response of M. rosenbergii against E. cloacae infection.
