Fish skin is an essential protective barrier and functions as the first line of immune defense against pathogens. However, the molecular mechanism at the proteome-level remains unclear in the skin of fish. In this study, the comparative proteomics of skin immune responses of crucian carp Carassius auratus infected with Aeromonas hydrophila was investigated by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry (2-DE/MS) as well as high-throughput transcriptome (RNA-seq) techniques. A total of 241 and 178 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) at 6 and 12 h post-infection (hpi) were respectively identified by iTRAQ, and key-DEPs were furtherly verified with 2-DE/MS analysis. GO and KEGG analysis showed that these DEPs were mostly related to metabolism, regulation of the cytoskeleton, stress and immune responses. Co-association results of proteome and transcriptome revealed the lysozyme (LYZ), complement C3, DnaJ (Hsp40) homolog subfamily C member 8 (DNAJC8) and allograft inflammatory factor 1-like (AIF1L) play important roles in skin immune responses of crucian carp. The significantly up-regulated expression of detected immune-related genes (c3, mapk3, f5, nlr, hsp90, itgb2, fnl, flnca, p47, mhc and pros1) were validated by qRT-PCR analysis. To our knowledge, this is first report on multi-omics analysis of the differential proteomics for the skin immune response of C. auratus against A.hydrophila infection, which contribute to the understanding the mechanisms of skin mucosal immunity in cyprinid fish.
