In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA of two SODs (BsCu\/Zn-SOD and BsMn-SOD) from the Chinese black sleeper. The cDNA of BsCu\/Zn-SOD consists of 465 nucleotides encoding 154 amino acids, while the BsMn-SOD comprises 678 nucleotides encoding 225 amino acids. The PCR results indicated that in normal tissues, the highest expression of BsCu\/Zn-SOD (1.02-fold) was primarily observed in muscle, whereas the highest expression of BsMn-SOD (6.42-fold) was noted in skin. Following treatment with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the highest expression of BsCu\/Zn-SOD (3.67-fold) was detected in the spleen, while BsMn-SOD (3.36-fold) presented the highest expression in the blood. After poly(I:C) treatment, the highest expression of BsCu\/Zn-SOD (2.92-fold) was found in the blood, with BsMn-SOD (2.37-fold) showing the highest expression in the spleen. Following Cd2+ treatment, the highest expression of BsCu\/Zn-SOD (3.36-fold) was recorded in the liver at the 1\/2 96 h LC50 concentration, and in the spleen at both the 1\/4 96 h LC50 (2.50-fold) and 1\/8 96 h LC50 concentrations. In contrast, BsMn-SOD presented the highest expression (2.60-fold) in the liver across all three concentrations. These findings suggest that both BsCu\/Zn-SOD and BsMn-SOD play vital roles in the innate immune response to environmental challenges, laying the foundation for further exploration of antioxidant mechanisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani15050653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]],"date-time":"2025-02-24T10:52:47Z","timestamp":1740394367000},"page":"653","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Molecular Characterization of BsCu\/Zn-Superoxide Dismutases and BsMn-Superoxide Dismutases from Chinese Black Sleeper (Bostrychus sinensis)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0931-6801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haolin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Research Center of Marine Facilities Aquaculture, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan 316004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzhen","family":"Ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Foundation Studies, Zhejiang Pharmaceutical University, Ningbo 315211, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Research Center of Marine Facilities Aquaculture, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan 316004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Research Center of Marine Facilities Aquaculture, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan 316004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianshe","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Research Center of Marine Facilities Aquaculture, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan 316004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dci.2014.06.010","article-title":"Identification and analysis of an intracellular Cu\/Zn superoxide dismutase from Sepiella maindroni under stress of Vibrio harveyi and Cd2+","volume":"47","author":"He","year":"2014","journal-title":"Dev.
