摘要： 以中华绒螯蟹（Eriocheir sinensis）幼蟹为材料，研究人工压力法切断其4个步足（左侧第1、3步足和右侧第2、4步足）后的蜕壳、生长与相关基因的表达规律。结果表明：断肢蟹当期蜕壳的步足再生率为7.6%，第2次蜕壳后的再生率为91.6%；断肢蟹与正常蟹的成活率相当；断肢蟹在断肢当期的蜕壳周期显著长于正常蟹（P<0.01），但蜕壳后增质量率显著高于正常蟹（P<0.05），而第2次的蜕壳周期显著短于正常蟹（P<0.01），但蜕壳后增质量率与正常蟹差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）；经2次蜕壳后，断肢蟹与正常蟹的整体蜕壳周期差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。相关基因表达差异分析表明：断肢蟹与正常蟹在胰岛素样生长因子2基因IGF2、维甲类X受体基因RXR、蜕皮抑制激素基因MIH的表达上差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）；但断肢蟹的蜕皮激素受体基因EcR的表达量显著高于正常蟹（P<0.05），而肌肉生长抑制素基因MSTN的表达量却显著低于正常蟹（P<0.05）。综上表明：中华绒螯蟹幼蟹发生断肢后能在2个蜕壳周期内完成再生，且与正常蟹在成活率、蜕壳周期和蜕壳后增质量率上差异无统计学意义；EcR和MSTN基因对促进中华绒螯蟹再生肢体的生长发育有重要作用；断肢蟹可在生产上继续使用。
Abstract: Limb regeneration is a regrowth phenomenon when limbs of animals are truncated by external forces or self-cut in response to predation, which is a selfprotection mechanism formed during the long-term evolution process. Currently, amphibians with tails, and crustaceans belonging to arthropods were intensively studied. The results indicated that the feeding ability, growth and development were greatly affected by regeneration. Molting could be accelerated and the ovary development could be promoted by limb regeneration, inducing expression of the related genes. Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) has the ability of limb regeneration like other crustaceans in its life cycle. However, the molecular mechanism of regeneration for E. sinensis was still unclear. Therefore, study on limb regeneration of E. sinensis can supplement basic biological knowledge for Chinese mitten crab, and provide practical guidance for development of aquaculture industries. A total of 80 juvenile Chinese mitten crabs (40 males and 40 females) were randomly sampled to autotomy treatments with four walking legs (the first and third legs on the left, the second and fourth legs on the right), and the same number of male and female individuals were employed as the control group without any treatment (intact crab). They were separately reared in forty tanks with each of 60 L for two molt cycle, and two crabs with cut limbs (one male, one female) and two intact crabs (one male, one female) were kept in each tank. Body mass, carapace length and carapace width were measured and recorded at the initial stocking stage, and 48 h after the first and second molting, respectively. Meanwhile, the eyes and muscle tissues (regeneration limbs and intact limbs) were collected quickly after the second molt and were stored at -80 ℃ for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of myostatin gene MSTN, insulin-like growth factor-2 gene IGF2, molting hormone receptor gene EcR, retinoid X receptor gene RXR, and molt-inhibiting hormone gene MIH.  The results showed that limb regeneration rate was only 7.6% after the first molt, but reached 91.6% after the second molt; the survival rates of the amputated crabs and intact crabs were roughly equal. Longer inter-molting days (P<0.05) were observed for the amputated crabs than intact crabs, and the body mass-gaining rate was higher than intact crabs (P<0.05) after the first molting. Shorter inter-molting days (P<0.05) were observed for amputated crabs than intact crabs, and no significant difference (P>0.05) was observed for the body mass-gaining rate of the amputated and intact crabs after the second molting. Overall, there was no significant difference of average inter-molting days between the amputated and intact crabs after the two molting. The related gene expression analysis indicated that there were no significant difference (P>0.05) between the amputated and intact crabs in IGF2, RXR and MIH genes. However, there were significant higher expression (P<0.05) of EcR gene and lower expression of MSTN gene for amputated crabs (P<0.05) than the intact crabs.  In conclusion, Chinese mitten crab can regenerate new legs in two molt cycles; there are no significant differences on the survival rate, mass-gaining rate and molt cycles between the amputated and intact crabs. The EcR and MSTN genes play important roles in promoting the leg regeneration, and the amputated crab can be kept for further aquaculture.
