摘要: 【目的】本研究旨在鉴定樱桃红蟑螂Shelfordella lateralis的抗菌肽果蝇霉素基因,并探究其发育和组织表达特性及其在细菌与杀虫剂诱导下的表达情况。【方法】基于樱桃红蟑螂转录组数据对樱桃红蟑螂的果蝇霉素基因进行鉴定,并通过RT-PCR进行验证;利用RT-qPCR测定樱桃红蟑螂不同发育阶段(1龄若虫、4龄若虫及6日龄雌成虫和雄成虫)、4龄若虫不同组织(头、胸、肠道、足、脂肪体、血淋巴和体壁)及注射大肠杆菌Escherichia coli、金黄色葡萄球菌Staphylococcus aureus和溴氰菊酯(1×10-5 mg/L)后4龄若虫中果蝇霉素基因的表达量。【结果】克隆得到了樱桃红蟑螂果蝇霉素基因SlDros的cDNA序列(GenBank登录号: PQ464795),其开放阅读框长201 bp,编码66个氨基酸。SlDros在樱桃红蟑螂6日龄雄成虫中大量表达;SlDros在4龄若虫头、体壁、胸和血淋巴中的表达量较高;注射大肠杆菌后12, 24和48 h时4龄若虫中SlDros的表达量显著高于对照组(注射蒸馏水);注射金黄色葡萄球菌后6, 12, 24和72 h时4龄若虫中SlDros的表达量都显著高于对照组(注射蒸馏水);注射溴氰菊酯96 h时4龄若虫中SlDros的表达量显著高于对照组(注射丙酮)。【结论】樱桃红蟑螂中存在抗菌肽果蝇霉素基因,并且细菌和杀虫剂胁迫均能诱导其表达。研究结果可为研究樱桃红蟑螂抗菌肽的功能及其进一步开发新型抗菌药物打下基础。

Abstract: 【Aim】The aim of this study is to identify antimicrobial peptide Drosomycin gene in Shelfordella lateralis, and examine the developmental and tissue expression properties and the expression of antimicrobial peptide Drosomycin gene induced by bacteria and insecticide. 【Methods】Drosomycin gene of S. lateralis was identified based on the transcriptome data of S. lateralis and further validated through RT-PCR. The expression levels of the Drosomycin gene in S. lateralis at different developmental stages (1st instar nymph, 4th instar nymph, and the 6-day-old female and male adults), in different tissues (head, thorax, gut, leg, fat body, hemolymph and integument) of the 4th instar nymphs, and in the 4th instar nymphs after injection of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and deltamethrin (1×10-5 mg/L) were assayed by using RT-qPCR. 【Results】The cDNA sequence of Drosomycin gene SlDros (GenBank accession no.: PQ464795) of S. lateralis was cloned. The open reading frame of SlDros was 201 bp in length encoding 66 amino acids. SlDros was highly expressed in the 6-day-old male adults. SlDros was mainly expressed in the head, integument, thorax and hemolymph of the 4th instar nymphs. The expression levels of SlDros in the 4th instar nymphs at 12, 24 and 48 h after injection of E. coli, and those at 6, 12, 24 and 72 h after injection of S. aureus were significantly increased as compared with those of the control group injected with distilled water. At 96 h post-injection of deltamethrin, the expression level of SlDros in the 4th instar nymphs was significantly higher than that of the control group injected with acetone. 【Conclusion】The antimicrobial peptide Drosomycin gene is present in S. lateralis, and stress of bacteria or insecticide can induce its expression. These results provide a foundation for studying the function of antimicrobial peptides in S. lateralis and the further development of new antimicrobial drugs.
