Immune function of the serosa in a hemimetabolous insect egg

Project description:The unparalleled success of the insects comprising more than a million species has long stood out to evolutionary biologists. A much overlooked evolutionary innovation of the insects is the serosa, an extraembryonic epithelium that covers yolk and embryo in their eggs. We have shown that this epithelium provides innate immune protection to eggs of the beetle Tribolium castaneum. It remained elusive, however, if this innate immune competence evolved in the Tribolium lineage, or is ancestral to all insects. Here, we expand our studies to the bug Oncopeltus fasciatus that belongs to the basal main group of insects, the Hemimetabola. RNA sequencing reveals an extensive transcriptional response upon infection of the egg with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. We demonstrate the antimicrobial activity of upregulated peptides using in vitro bacterial growth inhibition assays, and describe two novel families of AMPs called Serosins and Ovicins. By qPCR, we determine that eggs become immune responsive when the serosa develops. Finally, in situ hybridizations show that transcripts of upregulated peptides are located in the serosal cells and not in the underlying embryo. We conclude that the serosa protects the O. fasciatus embryo against pathogens. This first evidence from hemimetabolous insect eggs suggests that immune competence is an ancestral property of the serosa. The evolutionary origin of the serosa with its immune function might have been one of the factors that facilitated the spectacular success of the insects.

High-throughput sequencing of small RNA transcriptomes in Locusta migratoria

Project description:All the reports on insect small RNAs come from holometabolous insects. However, small RNAs of hemimetabolous insects have not yet been investigated.Study of hemimetabolous insect small RNAs could provide more insights into evolution and function of small RNAs in hemi- and holometabolous insects. The locust is an important, economically harmful hemimetabolous insect and its phase changes is an interesting phenomenon.Here, we used high-throughput sequencing to characterize and compare the small RNA transcriptomes of gregarious and solitary phases in locusts. We found abundant small RNAs and their different expression profiles in the two phases.
