Macrobrachium nipponense has the characteristics of fast ovarian development cycle, which leads to the coexistence of multiple generations, the reduction of commodity specifications and the low economic benefit. Therefore, the study on the mechanism of ovarian development is of great significance to the development of industry. Cyclin A (CycA)is a key gene regulating ovarian development in vertebrates, but little information was available for its function in crustaceans. In this study, the full-length cDNA of Mn-CycA was obtained from the ovary. The full-length cDNA (2033 bp) with an open reading frame of 1368 bp, encoded a 456-amino acid protein. qRT-PCR revealed tissue-specific expression pattern of Mn-CycA, with abundant expression in the ovary. Results in different developmental stages of ovary indicated that Mn-CycA expression is positively correlated with ovarian maturation. qRT-PCR In different developmental stages, the expression of Mn-CycA mRNA gradually increased during the embryonic stage and decreased significantly on the first day of the hatching stage. At the 25th day of the metamorphosis stage, the expression level of Mn-CycAmRNA in female shrimp was 3.5 times higher than that in male shrimp, which may be related to the proliferation of oogonia and the formation of oocytes. In situ hybridization (ISH) of ovary showed Mn-CycA was examined in all stages and was mainly located in oogonia and oocytes. Compared with the control group, the obvious change of gonad somatic index (GSI) proved that injection of Mn-CycA dsRNA could delay the ovarian development cycle, which provided strong evidence for the involvement of Mn-CycA in ovarian maturation and oogenesis, and expanded a new perspective for studying the fast ovarian development cycle in M. nipponense.
