家蚕核型多角体病毒(Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus,Bm NPV)病是世界养蚕业一种重大的传染疾病,该病引起的蚕茧损失占蚕病引起损失总数的60%以上,长期以来对这种病毒病的防治还没有很好的解决方法.各国研究人员在寻找抗性基因、阐...家蚕核型多角体病毒(Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus,Bm NPV)病是世界养蚕业一种重大的传染疾病,该病引起的蚕茧损失占蚕病引起损失总数的60%以上,长期以来对这种病毒病的防治还没有很好的解决方法.各国研究人员在寻找抗性基因、阐述抗性机制以及通过传统育种或者转基因构建抗Bm NPV家蚕等方面进行了很好的尝试,也取得了一定的成果.本文将最新的家蚕抗Bm NPV的研究结果进行归纳和整理,尝试对其可能的分子机制进行探讨,并对现有的研究结果进行深入挖掘,希望有助于家蚕抗病分子机制的深入研究.展开更多
Cholesterol-25-hydroxylase(CH25H)has been identified as an interferon-stimulated gene(ISG)in mammals that exerts its antiviral effects by catalyzing the conversion of cholesterol to 25-hydroxycholesterol(25HC).However...Cholesterol-25-hydroxylase(CH25H)has been identified as an interferon-stimulated gene(ISG)in mammals that exerts its antiviral effects by catalyzing the conversion of cholesterol to 25-hydroxycholesterol(25HC).However,invertebrates lack an antiviral system homologous to vertebrate interferons(IFNs)because the genomes of invertebrates do not encode IFN-like cytokines.Nevertheless,CH25H is present in insect genomes and it therefore deserves further study of whether and by which mechanism it could exert an antiviral effect in invertebrates.In this study,the Bombyx mori CH25H(BmCH25H)gene,of which the encoded protein has high homology with other lepidopteran species,was identified and located on chromosome 9.Interestingly,we found that the expression of BmCH25H was significantly upregulated in B.mori nucleopolyhedrovirus(BmNPV)-infected BmN cells and silkworm(B.mori)larvae at the early infection stage.The inhibitory effect of BmCH25H on BmNPV replication was further demonstrated to depend on its catalytic residues to convert cholesterol to 25HC.More importantly,we demonstrated that during BmNPV infection,BmCH25H expression was increased through the Janus kinase–signal transducer and activator of transcription(JAK–STAT)pathway,similar to the induction of ISGs following virus infection in vertebrates.This is the first report that CH25H has antiviral effects in insects;the study also elucidates the regulation of its expression and its mechanism of action.展开更多
