“…Maternal transfer of immunity is defined as the immunity transferred from mother to offspring, which is supposed to play a key role in protecting the vulnerable offspring against pathogenic attacks at early stages of life (Yue et al, 2013). Both innate and adaptive types of immune factors are transferred from mother to offspring in fishes.…”

“…Unlike cellular resistance, the humoral response includes nonspecific opsonic processes (enhanced cellular attachment after antigen coating). It is often represented by polymerizing enzymes and by secretion of lytic and cytotoxic peptides, for example, lectins , agglutinins and bactericidins (Yue et al 2013b) and lysosomal proteases (Niu et al 2013). This defence system is primitive compared with the more sophisticated system of adaptive immunity found in higher species of vertebrates, but it is still effective for protecting the host in a fluctuating environment.…”

“…Success of the immune defence in early larvae and post-larvae is highly dependent on energy sources (nutrients; Marshall et al 2010), adequate energy allocation for growth (development; Bayne 2004;Wang et al 2012a), the capability of dynamic adaptation (selective pressures; Powell et al 2011;Barros et al 2013), and the ability to initiate defence and annihilate specific aggressors (cell management; Yue et al 2013b; Fig. 1).…”

“…High periods of larval mortality are often associated with the peri-metamorphic stages (Balseiro et al 2013). Larval survival and resistance depend primarily on the maternal contribution of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates (Yue et al 2013b) as well as the stage-specific consumption of phytoplankton (Aarab et al 2013;Genard et al 2013). Endogenous energy reserves are required for larvae to survive metamorphosis as well as the early formation and reorganisation of juvenile/adult organs, that is, to complete the relatively stressful physiological transformation marked by the change from a pelagic to a benthic lifestyle.…”

Living organisms are constantly evolving to secure their survival via adaptations at the molecular and cellular level. Most marine bivalves have microscopic planktonic larval stages until settlement to the benthic environment. These pelagic stages are generally more sensitive than their adult counterparts to environmental and pathogen threats. Adaptive capacities could improve survival of these early stages. Recent advancements in data mining and pipeline analysis should shed light on the currently unknown processes that occur during these first stages. Existing data on early stages are fragmented compared with the abundance of information available for adult. Exploring diversity through aquaculture and lessening the impact of common issues, for example, massive mortalities of larvae, especially within the current conditions of a changing climate, ultimately rests on our knowledge of the molecular processes responsible for phenotypic plasticity. Although it is somewhat difficult to assess immune mechanisms by tracking circulating immunocytes in larvae, studies on the development of immune processes are now feasible at the transcript level. Next-generation techniques offer outstanding solutions for wide-range transcriptome analysis. We present a short review of the early ontogeny of the immune system in marine bivalves, with particular focus on next-generation sequencing applications. Like all reviews of this nature, there is a trade-off between the depth of the coverage and the number of subjects discussed. We will thus restrict the scope to bivalve immunity and focus on the central concepts across a wide range of topics, that is, the ontogeny of immunity and advancements in molecular studies.

“…Among possible mechanisms recently uncovered, mothers can directly transfer bacterial constituents to their eggs; this confers no protection to gametes but could serve as immune elicitors in the zygote and developing young [17][18][19]. Mothers may also transfer to their oocytes active immune effectors (e.g., antimicrobial peptides (AMP), proteins with bactericidal properties, pathogen recognition receptors), or their mRNA precursors [15,20,21]. Finally, mothers, as well as fathers, may transfer epigenetic factors (methylation marks, regulatory non-coding RNA) through their gametes, thereby influencing more durably the immunity of their offspring in relation to their own immune experience [3,22,23].…”

Transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) is an intriguing form of parental care which leads to the plastic adjustment of the progeny’s immunity according to parental immune experience. Such parental effect has been described in several vertebrate and invertebrate taxa. However, very few empirical studies have been conducted from the field, with natural host-parasite systems and real ecological settings, especially in invertebrates. We investigated TGIP in wild populations of the marine annelid Hediste diversicolor. Females laid eggs in a mud tube and thus shared the local microbial threats with the first developmental stages, thus meeting expectations for the evolution of TGIP. We evidenced that a maternal bacterial challenge led to the higher antibacterial defense of the produced oocytes, with higher efficiency in the case of Gram-positive bacterial challenge, pointing out a prevalent role of these bacteria in the evolutionary history of TGIP in this species. Underlying mechanisms might involve the antimicrobial peptide hedistin that was detected in the cytoplasm of oocytes and whose mRNAs were selectively stored in higher quantity in mature oocytes, after a maternal immune challenge. Finally, maternal immune transfer was significantly inhibited in females living in polluted areas, suggesting associated costs and the possible trade-off with female’s protection.
