Proteomic analysis reveals immune response changes in silkworm pupae following treatment with Bacillus subtilis.

ABSTRACT: Insects rely on innate immunity to defend against pathogens, with hemolymph playing a key role in immune responses. The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is a model organism for studying insect immunity, but research on immune-related proteins (especially antimicrobial peptides, AMPs) in silkworm pupae remains limited—despite pupae being rich in bioactive molecules with potential for antimicrobial development.To address this gap, we infected silkworm pupae with Bacillus subtilis (a Gram-positive bacterium) and used LC-MS/MS-based proteomics to analyze hemolymph proteins. The study aimed to identify immune-related proteins, clarify the pupal immune response dynamics, and provide insights for AMP discovery and application.

Expression profile of cuticular genes of silkworm, Bombyx mori

Project description:Insect cuticle plays essential roles in multiple physiological functions. During molting and metamorphosis, tremendous changes occur in silkworm cuticles. Silkworm is a model of Lepidoptera insects; however, little is known about the stage expression profiles of genes in cuticles of silkworm. In the present study, we selected 16 developmental stages, ranging from day 1 of the first instar larvae to day 8 of pupae, to perform microarray-based expression profiles. The data told us that various functions and physiological pathways were activated in the cuticle. Moreover, the expression profiles of cuticular protein genes, as the important components of cuticle, were investigated. The current study provides important insights for the functional study of insect cuticle and the regulation of insect cuticular protein genes.

The Small RNA Profile of Silkworm Hemolymph Using Deep Sequencing

Project description:Human utilization of the mulberry-silkworm interaction started at least 5,000 years ago and greatly influenced world history through the Silk Road. Complementing the silkworm genome sequence, here we describe the genome of a mulberry species (Morus notabilis C. K. Schneider). In the 330 Mb genome assembly of M. notabilis, we identified 128 Mb of repetitive sequences and 29,338 genes, 60.8% of which were supported by transcriptome sequencing. Mulberry gene sequences appear to evolve ~3 times faster than other Rosales, perhaps facilitating its spread to Europe, Africa, and America. It is among few eudicots but several Rosales not preserving genome duplications in more than 100 million years – however neopolyploid series in mulberry and several others suggest that new duplications may confer benefits. Strikingly, five predicted mulberry miRNAs were found in the hemolymph and silkglands of silkworm, suggesting profound molecular level interactions that promise to expand knowledge of plant-herbivore relationship which constitute key elements of most terrestrial habitats. In addition, we investigated the characters of hemolymph small RNA. small mRNA profiles of silkworm hemolymph in the fifth instar day-5 silkworm were generated by deep sequencing, in twice, using Illumina Hiseq 2000.

Precocious metamorphosis of silkworm by BmNPV infection in the latter half of the fifth instar larvae

Project description:The silkworm, Bombyx mori, is a complete metamorphosis insect and an economically important for silk production, the model to study insect physiology and biochemistry. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a principal pathogen of the silkworm and its host range is restricted to silkworm larvae, requiring interaction with silkworm larvae to accomplish virus replication. Prothoracic glands (PGs) are a model for synthetic ecdysone with regulating insect growth and development. In this study, day-4 fifth instar silkworm larvae were infected by BmNPV, the wandering silkworms appeared in the infected groups were 12 hours earlier than that in the control groups, and the ecdysone titer in infected larvae was significantly higher than that of the control larvae. Then, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to analyze silkworm PGs 48 h after BmNPV infection. The classifications of the 15 differential expression genes (DEGs) were mainly involved in the metabolic processes and pathways. The RT-qPCR results of the DEGs in the PGs of BmNPV-infected at 24, 48, and 72 h were generally consistent with the transcriptome data. The transcripts of BmTrypsin-1 and BmACSS3 were significantly increased from 24 to 72 h after BmNPV infection that they may be involved in the maturation process in the latter half of silkworm fifth instar larvae. These findings will help to address the interactions between BmNPV infection and host developmental response.

Proteomic identification of immune-related silkworm proteins response to bacterial infection

Project description:Bombyx mori is an important economic insect and a classic Lepidoptera model insect. Although the immune-related silkworm genes have been identified on a genome-wide scale in the silkworm, the immune defense of silkworm in protein level was still unclear. Fat body synthesizes immune-related proteins and secreted them into hemolymph when pathogens invade in B.mori. In this study, two types of bacteria were injected into the silkworm, respectively, including the gram-negative Escherichia coli and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. Proteomic analyses of the hemolymph proteins after injection were performed by LC-MS/MS. A total of 514 proteins were identified in the uninduced group, 540 were identified in the E.coli inducted group, and 537 were identified in the S.aureus induced group. Based on the uniprot annotation, this study identified 32 immunological recognition proteins, 28 immunological signaling proteins, and 21 immunological effectors. We found that 127 proteins showed significant up-regulation, including 10 immunological recognition proteins, 4 immunological signaling proteins, 11 immunological effector proteins, and 102 other proteins. The qRT-PCR was then employed to verify whether the up-regulated proteins were also response to bacteria at the transcription level. As expected, immunological recognition proteins, signaling proteins, and effector proteins showed a significant increase at the transcriptional level after being infected with E.coli and S.aureus. Some other proteins also showed up-regulation after infection, such as 30K protein, yellow-d protein, chemosensory protein, and uncharacterized proteins. This research screened many new immune-related proteins and deepened our understanding on immune defense system in B.mori.
