چکیده انگلیسی
Inducible expression of antimicrobial peptides and other humoral immune factors by the insect fat body is well documented. Hemocytes comprise the second essential arm of the insect immune system but it is unclear whether antimicrobial peptide genes are expressed by all or only some types of hemocytes. Here we report the cloning of cecropin A (Pi-cecA), lebocin (Pi-leb) and lysozyme (Pi-lys) homologs from the moth Pseudoplusia includens. Relative-quantitative real-time PCR (rq-rtPCR) indicated that transcript abundance for each antimicrobial gene increased in fat body and hemocytes following immune challenge with the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. Relative transcript abundance of Pi-cecA was much higher in fat body than hemocytes. In contrast, transcript levels of Pi-leb were three-fold lower in hemocytes than fat body while transcript levels of Pi-lys were three-fold higher. Estimates for the overall contribution of the fat body and hemocytes to antimicrobial peptide expression suggested that hemocytes contribute significantly to Pi-lys transcript levels in larvae but produce much smaller amounts of Pi-cecA and Pi-leb compared to the fat body. Each antimicrobial peptide was also inducibly expressed in hemocytes following challenge with the Gram-positive bacterium Micrococcus luteus or when hemocytes formed capsules around chromatography beads. Analysis of hemocyte types indicated that granulocytes and plasmatocytes expressed all three antimicrobial peptides, whereas spherule cells and oenocytoids expressed only lysozyme. Transcriptional profiles of these antimicrobial genes were similar in granulocytes and plasmatocytes in vivo but were very different in vitro.
