摘要： High population density has been shown to alter insect prophylactic immunity. Toll-Spatzle pathway performs a key function in insect innate immune response. To determine the role of Toll and Spatzle, two main components of Toll-Spatzle pathway, in the density-dependent prophylaxis of Mythimna separata. We identified full-length cDNA encoding the Toll-1 and Spatzle-4 genes in M. separata (designed MsToll-1 and Ms Spatzle-4). Both MsToll-1 and MsSpatzle-4 were expressed throughout all developmental stages. MsToll-1 expression was highly in fat body and brain and MsSpatzle-4 was highly expressed in brain and Malpighian tubule. With increased larval density, MsToll-1 expression was markedly up-regulated. MsSpatzle-4 expression was found to be raised in larvae that were fed in high density (5 and 10 larvae per jar). Co-immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that MsToll1 interacted with MsSpatzle-4. Immune-related genes transcriptions were considerably reduced in high-density larvae MsToll-1 (or MsSpatzle-4) was silenced by dsRNA injection. Meanwhile, a discernible reduction in the survival rate of the larvae exposed to Bacillus thuringiensis infection with silence of MsToll-1 (or MsSpatzle-4) was observed. This study implies that prophylactic immunity was influenced by crowded larvae via modulating the Toll-Spatzle pathway in M. separata and allow for a new understanding of into density-dependent prophylaxis in insects.
