Sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on immunity in Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Promote encapsulation by upregulating a heat shock protein 70 family gene SfHSP68.1. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 201:105892. [PMID: 38685254 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
As an agricultural pest, the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, poses a severe threat to agriculture in China. Chlorantraniliprole has been widely used to control this pest. In our previous studies, we discovered that LD10, LD20, and LD30 chlorantraniliprole promoted encapsulation in the 4th instar larvae of the FAW, with LD30 chlorantraniliprole having the most significant effect. To further investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on encapsulation in the FAW, this study conducted the effects of encapsulation in 4th instar larvae of the FAW exposed to LD30 chlorantraniliprole. Then, we analyzed the transcriptome of the FAW hemolymph treated with LD30 chlorantraniliprole and identified genes related to encapsulation using RNAi. Our results showed that the encapsulation in the FAW was enhanced at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 h after exposure to LD30 chlorantraniliprole. Additionally, LD30 chlorantraniliprole significantly affected the expression of certain immune-related genes, with the heat shock protein 70 family gene SfHSP68.1 showing the most significant upregulation. Subsequent interference with SfHSP68.1 resulted in a significant inhibition of encapsulation in FAW. These findings suggested that LD30 chlorantraniliprole can promote encapsulation in the FAW by upregulating SfHSP68.1 expression. This study provides valuable insights into the sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on encapsulation in the FAW and the interaction between encapsulation and heat shock proteins (HSPs).

Morimoto J. Larval crowding effects during early development in the Chinese oak silkmoth Antheraea pernyi (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). Ecol Evol 2022; 12:e9283. [PMID: 36110887 PMCID: PMC9465191 DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Chinese sericulture relies in part on the rearing of the Chinese oak silkmoth Antheraea pernyi, an insect with key cultural and ecological roles. While feeding primarily on oak, Antheraea species are known to accept alternative hosts such as birch Betula sp with little to no apparent negative fitness consequences. This opens up the range of hostplants that could be used for large‐scale rearing of A. pernyi for silk production and food, or used by this species in possible invasions. To date, however, the natural history and ecology of A. pernyi remain subject of investigation. For instance, we still do not know how individuals respond to crowding developmental environments, which is an important factor to consider for the ecology of the species as well as for commercial rearing. Here, I describe the implications of larval crowding to the survival and growth of A. pernyi larvae during early development. I show that higher crowding is associated with stronger negative effects on growth and survival, corroborating findings from other holometabolous insects. I then discuss the implications of this findings for our understanding of optimum larval crowding. Overall, the findings reveal important ecological information for an insect species key for provisioning and cultural ecosystem services.

High temperature exposure reduces the susceptibility of Helicoverpa armigera to its nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) by enhancing expression of heat shock proteins. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:2378-2389. [PMID: 35289068 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND High temperatures will occur more frequently with global warming, with potential impacts on the efficacy of biological control agents. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are induced by high temperature, but their possible roles in pest resistance to entomopathogens remain unexplored. We investigated the effects of high temperature (35 °C) on Helicoverpa armigera resistance to H. armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) and the putative roles of HSPs in this process. RESULTS Even short periods (24 h) of high temperature (35 °C) reduced mortality in HearNPV-infected H. armigera larvae. Sustained 35 °C exposure significantly shortened developmental time, and increased fresh weight and locomotor activity in infected larvae. Moreover, high temperature inhibited virus replication and thickened the epidermis of H. armigera, resulting in reduced spread of infection from cadavers. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis showed that expression of 11 HSP genes was altered by the 35 °C treatment, and that mostly small heat shock protein (sHSP) genes were up-regulated, the same sHSPs were induced when larvae were infected with HearNPV. Finally, RNA interference (RNAi) suppression of these sHSPs showed that only Hsp24.91 and Hsp21.8 diminished H. armigera defensive responses to HearNPV infection. CONCLUSION Even short periods of exposure to high temperature can significantly reduce susceptibility of H. armigera larvae to HearNPV by stimulating the production of sHSPs which enhance immune responses, with important implications for the use of entomopathogens as biological control agents under global warming scenarios. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Antheraea pernyi (Guérin-Méneville 1855) is an important resource for silk, food, and biohealth products; however, exogenous pathogens largely affect the commercial application potential of this species. Since the gut is a key organ for the digestion and absorption of nutrients as well as for immune defense, we used comparative transcriptome analysis to screen for a gut-specific molecular tool for further functional research in A. pernyi. In total, 3,331 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the gut compared with all other pooled tissues of A. pernyi, including 1,463 upregulated genes in the gut. Among these, we further focused on a lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-α factor (LITAF) gene because of its high gut-specific expression and the presence of a highly conserved SIMPLE-like domain, which is related to the immune response to pathogenic infections in many species. The cDNA sequence of ApLITAF was 447-bp long and contained a 243-bp open reading frame encoding an 80-amino acid protein. Immune challenge assays indicated that ApLITAF expression was significantly upregulated in the gut of A. pernyi naturally infected with nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) or fed leaves infected with the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli (Migula 1895) and the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (Ehrenberg 1835). Cell transfection showed that ApLITAF localized to the lysosome. Collectively, these results suggested that ApLITAF played a role in the immune response of A. pernyi and could facilitate the future research and breeding application in this species.

Larvae Crowding Increases Development Rate, Improves Disease Resistance, and Induces Expression of Antioxidant Enzymes and Heat Shock Proteins in Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noetuidae).

Abstract
High population density (crowding) becomes a stress factor in insects. The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), displays gregarious and solitary phases at high and low population densities, respectively. In this study, we compared life history, disease resistance, and induction of antioxidant enzymes and heat shock protein (HSPs) in two phases of M. separata larvae. Results showed that gregarious larvae had a faster growth rate and lower pupal weight compared to solitary larvae. Furthermore, gregarious individuals exhibited higher survival rates than solitary individuals after Beauveria bassiana infection. The gregarious larvae had higher malondialdehyde content compared to solitary ones, but no differences in total antioxidant capacity were observed between the two larval phases before or after infection. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were significantly lower in gregarious M. separata larvae than solitary individuals before infection, but no difference was detected in two phases after infection. However, peroxidase and catalase activities in the two phases showed no difference either before or after infection. Hsp19.8 and Hsp90 expression in gregarious larvae were up-regulated when compared to solitary individuals before or after infection. CuZnSOD expression was not different between the two phases before infection, but it was up-regulated in gregarious ones compared to solitary ones after infection. However, expression of other stress-related genes in gregarious larvae was either repressed or unchanged when compared to solitary individuals before or after infection. Thus, larval crowding changed life history, improved disease resistance of M. separata larvae, and induced variable response of antioxidant enzymes and HSPs to fungal infection.

Molecular Characterization of Heat-Induced HSP11.0 and Master-Regulator HSF from Cotesia chilonis and Their Consistent Response to Heat Stress. INSECTS 2021; 12:insects12040322. [PMID: 33916570 PMCID: PMC8066536 DOI: 10.3390/insects12040322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are members of the heat shock protein (HSP) family that play an important role in heat stress, and heat shock factors (HSFs) are transcriptional activators that mainly regulate the expression of HSPs. Cotesia chilonis, the major endoparasitoid of Chilo suppressalis, widely distributes in China and other Asian regions. Previous studies have shown that C. chilonis has a certain thermal tolerance. Here, heat-induced HSP11.0 and master-regulator HSF were cloned and characterized from C. chilonis. The transcription patterns of them in response to different temperatures and time course after temperature treatment were analyzed. This study is the first report on the analysis on hsf gene of C. chilonis. The results of expression patterns will provide new insights into thermoregulation of C. chilonis in response to climate change. Abstract Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are members of the heat shock protein (HSP) family that play an important role in temperature stress, and heat shock factors (HSFs) are transcriptional activators that regulate HSP expression. Cotesia chilonis, the major endoparasitoid of Chilo suppressalis, modulates the C. suppressalis population in the field. In this study, we cloned and characterized two genes from C.chilonis: the heat-induced HSP11.0 gene (Cchsp11.0) that consisted of a 306-bp ORF, and the master regulator HSF (Cchsf) containing an 1875-bp ORF. CcHSP11.0 contained a chaperonin cpn10 signature motif that is conserved in other hymenopteran insects. CcHSF is a typical HSF and contains a DNA-binding domain, two hydrophobic heptad repeat domains, and a C-terminal trans-activation domain. Neither Cchsp11.0 or Cchsf contain introns. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed that Cchsp11.0 and Cchsf were highly induced at 36 °C and 6 °C after a 2-h exposure. Overall, the induction of Cchsf was lower than Cchsp11.0 at low temperatures, whereas the opposite was true at high temperatures. In conclusion, both Cchsp11.0 and Cchsf are sensitive to high and low temperature stress, and the expression pattern of the two genes were positively correlated during temperature stress.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 114:103790. [PMID: 32784012 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2020.103790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Adverse environmental conditions cause serious economic losses in sericulture; Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is the primary biotic stress and high temperature is the major abiotic stress in this industry. B. mori heat shock protein 19.9 (Bmhsp19.9) overexpression was previously demonstrated to protect transgenic silkworm H19.9 against extreme temperature. This study analyzed the role of Bmhsp19.9 in H19.9A and H19.9B silkworm lines and BmE cells infected with BmNPV at regular and high temperatures. qPCR results showed that Bmhsp19.9 expression was upregulated in BmE cells and silkworm after BmNPV challenge. Bmhsp19.9 overexpression significantly inhibited BmNPV proliferation in BmE cells. The viral DNA content was significantly decreased in transgenic H19.9 silkworm compared to the control. These results suggested that Bmhsp19.9 was involved in antiviral immunity against BmNPV. Furthermore, Bmhsp19.9 overexpression protected BmE cells against BmNPV under high temperature shock. This indicates that Bmhsp19.9 is a promising candidate for improving silkworm resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, thereby reducing sericulture losses.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins are a molecular chaperone and implicated in various physiological and stress processes in animals. However, the immunological functions of Hsp genes remain to elucidate in the crustaceans, particularly in red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. Here we report the cloning of heat shock protein 21 from the P. clarkii (hereafter Pc-Hsp21). The open reading frame of Pc-Hsp21 was 555 base pairs, encoding a protein of 184 amino acid residues with an alpha-crystallin family domain. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed a constitutive transcript expression of Pc-Hsp21 in the tested tissue, with the highest in hepatopancreas. The transcript abundance for this gene enhanced in hepatopancreas following immune challenge with the lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, and poly I:C compared to the control group. The depletion of Pc-Hsp21 by double-stranded RNA altered transcript expression profiles of several genes in hepatopancreas, genes involved in the crucial immunological pathways of P. clarkii. These results suggest that Pc-Hsp21 plays an essential biological role in the microbial stress response by modulating the expression of immune-related genes in P. clarkii.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (shsps) are conserved across invertebrate species. They are implicated in the modulation of various biological processes, such as immune responses, abiotic stress tolerance metamorphosis, and embryonic development. Herein, we identified a heat shock protein 20 from the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (named as Pc-Hsp20), and performed in vivo studies to elucidate its physiological functions in the innate immunity. The open reading frame of Pc-Hsp20 was 609 base pair, encoding a protein of 202 amino acid residues with a hsp20/alpha crystallin family domain. Pc-Hsp20 was ubiquitously expressed in various tissues; however, it was highest in the hepatopancreas. The challenge with immune elicitors remarkably enhanced the transcript level of Pc-Hsp20 in the hepatopancreas when compared with the control. Administration of double-stranded RNA could significantly reduce expression of the Pc-Hsp20 mRNAs, and most of the immune-related genes expression enhanced with a variable concentration in the hepatopancreas. Altogether, these results suggest that Pc-Hsp20 may participate in innate immunity against microbial pathogens.

Abstract
Six candidate sHSP genes were identified from the Glyphodes pyloalis transcriptome. All sHSP genes included full-length open reading frames and shared high similarity with the sequences of other lepidopteran species. These sHSP genes encoded 175-191 amino acid residues, and the predicted proteins had a molecular weight from 19.5 to 21.8 kDa. All GpsHSPs were expressed at lower levels at larval stages. All GpsHSPs were expressed at higher levels at diapaused, prepupal, or pupal stages, suggesting that sHSPs may be involved in metamorphosis in G. pyloalis. In addition to the developmental stage, extreme temperatures can induce variations in the expression of sHSPs genes. All GpsHSPs were significantly upregulated in larvae following exposure to heat shock, except GpHSP21.4 which downregulated at 4 h following exposure to the cold shock treatment. Furthermore, Starvation influenced the expression patterns of GpsHSPs as a function of the duration of food deprivation. Four GpsHSPs increased their expression with time of starvation until reaching to the peak level at 6 d of starvation. Finally, parasitism by the endoparasitoid Aulacocentrum confusum He et van Achterberg (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)-induced fluctuations in the expression of all GpsHSPs, and the expression varied with time after parasitization. Our results from this study strongly suggest functional differentiation within the sHSPs subfamily in G. pyloalis. The present study would provide further insight into the roles of sHSPs in G. pyloalis and novel avenues for promoting integrated management of this pest.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are a class of highly conserved proteins that are ubiquitously found in all types of organisms, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. In the current study, we identified and characterized the full-length cDNA encoding sHSP 19.1 from the oak silkworm, Antheraea pernyi. Ap-sHSP is 510 bp in length, and encodes a protein of 169 amino acid residues. The protein contains conserved domains found in insect sHSPs, and it belongs to the α-crystallin-HSPs_p23-like superfamily. Recombinant Ap-sHSP was expressed in Escherichia coli cells, and a rabbit anti-Ap-sHSP 19.1 antibody was generated to confirm the biological functions of Ap-sHSP 19.1 in A. pernyi. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis revealed that Ap-sHSP 19.1 expression was highest in the fat body, followed by the midgut, and the lowest expression was found in the Malpighian tubule. Ap-sHSP 19.1 transcript expression was significantly induced following challenge with microbial pathogens. In addition, the expression of Ap-sHSP 19.1 was strongly induced after heat shock. These results suggest that Ap-sHSP 19.1 plays a crucial role in immune responses and thermal tolerance in A. pernyi.

Abstract
Trichogramma is a kind of egg parasitoid wasp that is widely used to control lepidopterous pests. Temperature is one of the main factors that determines the various life activities of this species, including development, reproduction and parasitism efficiency. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved and ubiquitous proteins that are best known for their responsiveness to temperature and other stresses. To explore the potential role of HSPs in Trichogramma species, we obtained the full-length cDNAs of six HSP genes (Tchsp10, Tchsp21.6, Tchsp60, Tchsp70, Tchsc70-3, and Tchsp90) from T. chilonis and analyzed their expression patterns during development and exposure to temperature stress. The deduced amino acid sequences of these HSP genes contained the typical signatures of their corresponding protein family and showed high homology to their counterparts in other species. The expression levels of Tchsp10, Tchsp21.6 and Tchsp60 decreased during development. However, the expression of Tchsc70-3 increased from the pupal stage to the adult stage. Tchsp70 and Tchsp90 exhibited the highest expression levels in the adult stage. The expression of six Tchsps was dramatically upregulated after 1 h of exposure to 32 and 40°C but did not significantly change after 1 h of exposure to 10 and 17°C. This result indicated that heat stress, rather than cold stress, induced the expression of HSP genes. Furthermore, the expression of these genes was time dependent, and the expression of each gene reached its peak after 1 h of heat exposure (40°C). Tchsp10 and Tchsp70 exhibited a low-intensity cold response after 4 and 8 h of exposure to 10°C, respectively, but the other genes did not respond to cold at any time points. These results suggested that HSPs may play different roles in the development of this organism and in its response to temperature stress.

Abstract
Insect pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) controls the synthesis and actuating of sex pheromones of female adult. In the current examination, the full-length cDNA encoding the PBAN receptor was cloned from the pheromone gland (PG) of Antheraea pernyi (AntpePBANR). The AntpePBANR displayed the characteristic seven transmembrane areas of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and was closely related to the PBANR from Bombyx mori and Manduca sexta in the phylogenetic tree. The AntpePBANR expressed in mammalian cell lines were enacted by AntpePBAN in a concentration-dependent manner. AntpePBANR activation resulted in the calcium mobilization but did not activate the cAMP elevation pathway. Cells expressing AntpePBANR were profoundly responsive to Antpe-γ-SGNP (suboesophageal ganglion neuropeptides) and Antpe-DH (diapause hormone), different individuals from FXPRLamide (X = T, S or V) family in A. pernyi. Deletion of residues in the C-terminal hexapeptide (FSPRLamide) proved that P, R and L played the key parts in initiating the AntpePBANR, the amination to the last C terminal residues which can also likewise impact the activation of AntpePBAN receptor altogether. The mRNA of the AntpePBANR gene demonstrated the most noteworthy transcript levels in pheromone gland followed by fat body.
