Cell lines derived from the silkworm, Bombyx mori, are only permissive for B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV), with other NPVs generally resulting in abortive infection. Here, we demonstrate that rRNA of B. mori BM-N cells undergoes rapid degradation through site-specific cleavage upon infection with NPVs from Autographa californica (AcMNPV), Hyphantria cunea (HycuMNPV), Spodoptera exigua (SeMNPV) and Spodoptera litura (SpltMNPV). No significant decreases in cellular RNA were observed in Ld652Y, Se301, Sf9, SpIm and S2 cells infected with AcMNPV or HycuMNPV, indicating the response is unique to BM-N cells. A transient expression assay using a cosmid library of the HycuMNPV genome demonstrated that HycuMNPV P143 is responsible for rRNA degradation, which was also detected in BM-N cells transfected with plasmids expressing the P143 proteins from AcMNPV, SeMNPV and SpltMNPV. These results indicate that B. mori evolved to acquire a unique antiviral immune mechanism that is activated by P143 proteins from heterologous NPVs.

AbstractAn effective multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the simultaneous detection of three major pathogens,Nosema bombycisNägeli (Microsporidia: Nosematidae),Bombyx morinucleopolyhedrovirus (Baculoviridae: genusAlphabaculovirus) (NPV), andBombyx moridensovirus (Parvoviridae: genusIteravirus) (DNV), in silkworms (Bombyx mori(Linnaeus); Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) was developed in this study. Polymerase chain reaction and real-time PCR tests and basic local alignment search tool searches revealed that the primers and probes used in this study had high specificities for their target species. The ability of each primer/probe set to detect pure pathogen DNA was determined using a plasmid dilution panel, in which under optimal conditions the multiplex real-time PCR assay showed high efficiency in the detection of three mixed target plasmids with a detection limit of 8.5×103copies forN. bombycisandBombyx moriNPV (BmNPV) and 8.5×104copies forBombyx moriDNV (BmDNV). When the ability to detect these three pathogens was examined in artificially inoculated silkworms, our method presented a number of advantages over traditional microscopy, including specificity, sensitivity, and high-throughput capabilities. Under the optimal volume ratio for the three primer/probe sets (3:2:2=N. bombycis:BmNPV:BmDNV), the multiplex real-time PCR assay showed early detection of BmNPV and BmDNV by day 1 post inoculation using DNA templates of the three pathogens in various combinations from individually infected silkworms; the early detection ofN. bombyciswas possible by day 3 post inoculation using the DNA isolated from the midgut ofN. bombycis-infected silkworms.
