Here, the partial cDNAs of P. monodon cAMP-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunit 1 (PmPkaC1) and adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1-like (PmCap1-l) were studied. They were more preferentially expressed in ovaries than testes of cultured juveniles and wild broodstock. PmPkaC1 mRNA in ovaries of non-ablated broodstock was significantly increased during vitellogenesis (P<0.05). However, unilateral eyestalk ablation (the removal of one eyestalk) resulted in a significant reduction of its expression (P<0.05). PmCap1-l was not differentially expressed during ovarian development in wild non-ablated broodstock. It was up-regulated in mature ovaries following eyestalk ablation (P<0.05). The PmCap1-l transcript in each ovarian stage of the former was significantly lower than that of the latter (P<0.05). The levels of ovarian PmPkaC1 and vitellogenin 1 (PmVtg1) treated in vitro with 17-20β-DHP (0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 μg/ml for 24 h) was not significantly different from the control (P>0.05). Nevertheless, the expression of PmCap1-l was increased in ovaries treated with 0.1 and 10 μg/ml 17-20β-DHP at 24 hours post treatment (hpt, P<0.05).
