Project description:The transcription factor SoxE is mainly expressed in the gonad and involved in the regulation of gonad development and sex determination in animals. Here, we used the silkworm ovary-derived BmN4-SID1 cell line to survey the roles of the silkworm SoxE protein (BmSoxE) and predict its candidate binding targets. RNAi-mediated silencing of BmSoxE expression suppressed cell proliferation in BmN4-SID1 cells. A further cell cycle analysis revealed that this inhibition of cell proliferation was largely due to cell cycle arrest in G1 phase when BmSoxE expression was blocked in BmN4-SID1 cells. Genome-wide microarray expression analyses demonstrated that the expression levels of a set of genes were significantly altered following BmSoxE RNAi. More than half of these genes contained conserved binding sites for HMG box domain of the Sox proteins and were predicted to be candidate binding targets for BmSoxE. Importantly, some of the candidate targets may be associated with the effect of BmSoxE on cell proliferation. Several candidate target genes showed gonad-specific expression in silkworm larvae. Taken together, these data demonstrate that BmSoxE is required for cell proliferation in silkworm BmN4-SID1 cells and provide valuable information for further investigations of the molecular control exerted by the BmSoxE protein over cell proliferation and gonad development in the silkworm.

Project description:Insect cuticle plays essential roles in multiple physiological functions. During molting and metamorphosis, tremendous changes occur in silkworm cuticles. Silkworm is a model of Lepidoptera insects; however, little is known about the stage expression profiles of genes in cuticles of silkworm. In the present study, we selected 16 developmental stages, ranging from day 1 of the first instar larvae to day 8 of pupae, to perform microarray-based expression profiles. The data told us that various functions and physiological pathways were activated in the cuticle. Moreover, the expression profiles of cuticular protein genes, as the important components of cuticle, were investigated. The current study provides important insights for the functional study of insect cuticle and the regulation of insect cuticular protein genes. Transcription profiling experiments, 16 developmental stages (samples) were analyzed. Dual-channel experiments, with test samples labeled by Cy5 and common reference samples labeled by Cy3. Common reference sample was used for data normalization. One biological replicate. No dye-swaps.

Project description:The silkworm silk gland is one of the most efficient protein synthesis systems among all organisms. Its amazingly efficient protein synthesis makes the silk gland a desirable object for basic studies on gene expression and regulation and for biotechnological applications. At the early stages of the fifth (final) instar, the cellular structures necessary for the synthesis of fibroin are rapidly formed, and at the later stage the synthesis of fibroin proceeds at a maximum rate. The posterior silk gland (PSG) is the longest suborgan and is responsible for the synthesis of the silk core protein fibroin, which is composed of heavy (H) and light (L) chains plus P25. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in silkworm PSG during the late larval stages, including the fourth molting (M4) and day 1 (V1), day 3 (V3), day 5 (V5), and day 7 (wandering stage, W) of the fifth instar, and to reveal the correlations of differential expression genes with the PSG development and fibroin synthesis. Silkworm PSGs were collected at M4, V1, V3, V5, and W stages for RNA extraction and hybridization on 23K Silkworm Genome Arrays (CapitalBio Corp., Beijing, China). Three groups of biological replicates were prepared at each time point.Dual-dye experiments were performed for the PSG at M4, V1, V3, V5, and W; a total of 15 samples were tested including three biological replicates at each stage. Aliquots of each test sample were pooled as a common reference sample (CKA). The test samples and CKA were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively.

Project description:Microsporidia have attracted much attention because they infect a variety of species ranging from protists to mammals, including immunocompromised patients with AIDS or cancer. Aside from the study on Nosema ceranae, few works have focused on elucidating the mechanism in host response to microsporidia infection. Nosema bombycis is a pathogen of silkworm pébrine that causes great economic losses to the silkworm industry. Detailed understanding of the host (Bombyx mori) response to infection by N. bombycis is helpful for prevention of this disease. The 23 K silkworm genome array was used to investigate host responses (i.e., Bombyx mori) occurring at 2, 4, 6 and 8 d post-infection by Nosema bombycis.We focused on elucidating the mechanism of the host response to microsporidia infection, especially for the investigation of host immune response .

Nosema bombycis is a pathogen of silkworm pM-CM-)brine that causes great economic losses to the silkworm industry. Detailed understanding of the host (Bombyx mori) response to infection by N. bombycis is helpful for prevention of this disease. The 23 K silkworm genome array was used to investigate host responses (i.e., Bombyx mori) occurring at 2, 4, 6 and 8 d post-infection by Nosema bombycis.We focused on elucidating the mechanism of the host response to microsporidia infection, especially for the investigation of host immune response . The third instar molted silkworm larvae were in oral infected by Nosema bombycis. In order to known the silkworm host response to Nosema bombycis infection at different time points, samples of infected larvae (i.e., the treatment set) and uninfected larvae (i.e., the control set) were collected at 2, 4, 6 and 8 dpi for RNA extraction and array hybridization. The obtained data were usd to investigate on the interplay of the genome-wide expression profile of hosts.
