摘要： Cry and Vip3 proteins are both pore-forming toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis that show synergistic insecticidal activity against different insect pests. However, the synergistic effect of Cry and Vip3 proteins on the midgut in target insects is still unclear. In this study, faster and more serious damage was observed after treatment with both Cry9A and Vip3A proteins in the Chilo suppressalis midgut compared to single-protein treatment. Through RNA sequencing, midgut transcriptomic comparison was performed between dual- and single-protein treatments according to midgut injury. After 6 h, 609 differentially expressed genes were found with the combined Cry9A and Vip3A treatments, which was much more than that in the single treatment, corresponding to faster and more serious damage. These genes were mainly enriched in similar pathways, such as lipid metabolic, oxidation-reduction and carbohydrate metabolic process, peptide secretion and cell-cell adhesion; however, the number and expression level of differentially expressed genes are increased. For specific genes significantly regulated by induction of Cry9A and Vip3A, lipases, phospholipid scramblase, probable tape measure protein and arylsulfatase J were significantly downregulated after 6 h treatment. In addition, regular genes related to the activation and receptor binding of B. thuringiensis toxins were differentially regulated, such as ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 1 and serine protease. Validation with RT-qPCR showed agreement with the sequencing results. Overall, our results support that stronger and faster midgut responses at the cellular and transcriptional levels are induced by the synergistic toxicity of Cry9A and Vip3A in C. suppressalis.
