Bmintegrin β1: A broadly expressed molecule modulates the innate immune response of Bombyx mori. DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 114:103869. [PMID: 32950537 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2020.103869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Revised: 09/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins that are broadly distributed in living organisms. As a heterodimer, they contain an α and a β subunit, which are reported to be associated with various physiological and pathological processes. In the present study, a 2502 bp full-length cDNA sequence of Bmintegrin β1 was obtained from the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Bmintegrin β1 belongs to the β subunit of the integrin family and contains several typical structures of integrins. Gene expression profile analysis demonstrated that Bmintegrin β1 was ubiquitously expressed in all tested tissues and organs, with the maximum expression levels in fat body and hemocytes. The immunofluorescence results showed that Bmintegrin β1 was located in the cell membrane and widely distributed in fat bodies and different types of hemocytes. Bmintegrin β1 expression was remarkably increased after challenging with different kinds of bacteria and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Further investigation revealed that Bmintegrin β1 could participate in the agglutination of pathogenic bacteria possibly through direct binding with the relative bacteria and PAMPs. Altogether, this study provides a novel insight into the immune functional features of Bmintegrin β1.

Analysis of ESTs from Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies and their contribution toward understanding the insect-parasite relationship. Genomics 2006; 88:831-840. [PMID: 16887324 PMCID: PMC2675706 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2006.06.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2006] [Revised: 06/16/2006] [Accepted: 06/20/2006] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
An expressed sequence tag library has been generated from a sand fly vector of visceral leishmaniasis, Lutzomyia longipalpis. A normalized cDNA library was constructed from whole adults and 16,608 clones were sequenced from both ends and assembled into 10,203 contigs and singlets. Of these 58% showed significant similarity to known genes from other organisms, < 4% were identical to described sand fly genes, and 42% had no match to any database sequence. Our analyses revealed putative proteins involved in the barrier function of the gut (peritrophins, microvillar proteins, glutamine synthase), digestive physiology (secreted and membrane-anchored hydrolytic enzymes), and the immune response (gram-negative binding proteins, thioester proteins, scavenger receptors, galectins, signaling pathway factors, caspases, serpins, and peroxidases). Sequence analysis of this transcriptome dataset has provided new insights into genes that might be associated with the response of the vector to the development of Leishmania.
