5. Proline intervention test
The larvae after preculture for 1 day (3 days old) were taken out of the incubator, and the larvae with good health status were placed in 48-well plates, and randomly divided into a control group, an infected group, a preparation group and an intervention group, each group consisting of 24 samples, and the steps were repeated three times. Grouping and feeding are shown in table 2, and the composition of the syrup in table 2 is shown in table 1 (control day age).
TABLE 2 proline intervention test grouping
The optimal time for bee larvae to infect CSBV is 2-3 days old, so that CSBV infection and proline intervention treatment are carried out when the larvae are 3 days old, and the prevention and treatment effects of proline on the CSBV infection of bees are analyzed. Feeding the infection group with the syrup containing toxin (preparation method is described in the above 3), and feeding the intervention group with the preparation containing toxin (preparation method is described in the above 4); and respectively feeding syrup or proline preparations to the larvae of 4-6 days old according to groups, and taking the larvae fed with syrup as CK control (the feeding formulas and feeding amounts of the larvae of different days old refer to table 1). The above fed food is placed on one side of the bottom of the culture plate to avoid contacting with larvae. Feeding was done every 24h and feeding and mortality of larvae were observed and recorded.
Forceps were sterilized with 75% ethanol (prepared with DEPC-treated water) for 5min and rinsed three times with DEPC-treated water, 5 each of the differently treated live larvae were removed each day, immediately treated with liquid nitrogen for freezing, and then stored in a-80 ℃ freezer for subsequent viral copy number detection.
Experimental example 1 survival and mortality analysis after proline intervention in healthy and infected larvae
1. Survival rate
Survival rate statistics is carried out on each group of bee larvae in example 1, the results are shown in fig. 1, and the results show that the survival rate of larvae of CK group and preparation group fed conventionally can reach over 86%, which indicates that proline intervention does not cause abnormal death of healthy larvae and does not affect growth and development of healthy larvae.
The larvae of the infected group die in a large amount, the survival rate is only 43.05 percent, the survival rate of the larvae of the proline intervention group is greatly improved to more than 77 percent, the survival rate of the larvae of the high-concentration group (75 mu g/mL) in the 6-day-old infected larvae is the highest and reaches 88.89 percent, and the result shows that about 50 percent of the infected larvae can be prevented from dying due to illness by adopting the proline intervention, so that the infected bee colony is prevented from collapsing, and the proline intervention plays an important role in recovering and breeding the bee colony.
2. Mortality rate
Mortality statistics were performed on each group of bee larvae in example 1, and the mortality of the larvae was determined as follows: the death numbers of the larvae in the pre-culture (2 days old) and the virus inoculation day (3 days old) are not counted and analyzed to eliminate the influence of mechanical death of the larvae in the experimental process, the death numbers of the larvae are counted at regular time every day from the next day (4 days old) of virus inoculation, the death larvae are removed, and the steps are repeated until the 6 days old is finished.
Larval mortality per day-number of larvae dead per day/number of larvae alive per day x 100%;
overall larval mortality rate-number of larval deaths/total number of samples x 100%.
The statistical results of the mortality of all groups are shown in fig. 2, and the results show that the mortality of 4-6-day-old larvae in CK groups fed conventionally is lower than 3% every day, and the mortality of 4-6-day-old larvae after being dried by proline at various concentrations is not greatly increased every day, which indicates that the growth and development of healthy larvae are not influenced by proline intervention, and the feed can be used for auxiliary feeding of larvae.
CSBV is a typical induction source, the death rate of larvae at the next day (4 days old) after 3 days old larvae are infected with virus is greatly increased and reaches 25%, the death rate at 5 days old and 6 days old is reduced, but the death rate per day is more than 20%, and only 43% of experimental larvae survive by 6 days old (figure 1). The study of Liang Qin et al (Liang Qin, Chendafu, bee protection science [ M ]. China agricultural Press, 2009.2-3.) found that CSBV is most susceptible to 2-3 days old larvae, the infected larvae cannot pupate and die in large quantities in the later stage of the larvae, which is consistent with the experimental results of the present invention.
Compared with the infected group, the death rate of the larvae of each day age in the proline intervention group is greatly reduced, particularly the death rate of the larvae of 4 days age is less than 10%, and the survival rate of the larvae of 6 days age is higher than 77% (shown in figure 1).
Experimental example 2 detection of viral copy number following proline intervention in healthy and infected larvae
CSBV test was performed on the apparently healthy 4-6 day old Apis cerana larvae (CK group) in example 1, and the number of Virus copies per day old larvae was found to be 66-70, which indicated that apparently healthy larvae were also infected with Virus, but showed no obvious symptoms, indicating that the Virus was universally present in bee colonies and that the larvae could live with Virus in a certain concentration, which is consistent with the results of Liu san (Shan, L., Liuhao, W., Jun, G., Yujie, T., Yanping, C., Jie, W., Jilian, L., Chinese Sacbroud infestations in Asian Honey Bees (Apis cerana cerana cerana cerana) and Host response to the Virus Infect, Journal of the ecology Patch.2017, and htx.20125/3509. The virus copy number of the internal bodies (preparation groups) of the larvae of the 4-6-day-old Apis cerana Fabricius with the apparent healthy proline intervention prognosis is reduced to below 14, which indicates that the virus infection degree of the apparent healthy larvae can be improved by proline intervention, and the normal growth and development of the larvae are facilitated.
The virus copy number in the larvae of the infected group grows in an explosive manner, and the virus copy number in the larvae of 4 days old is as high as 12.1 multiplied by 104Is 1700 times of CK group, so the multiplication of a large amount of virus leads to the death of infected larvae, the death rate is up to 25 percent, the virus copy number in bodies of 5 days old and 6 days old is reduced along with the growth and development, but the virus copy number is still maintained at 2.3 multiplied by 104Above, it was shown that the single-day larval mortality rate was still above 20% (fig. 3). The virus copy number in the larvae of 4 days old in each proline intervention group with different concentrations is reduced to less than 22, the virus copy number in the larvae of 5 days old and 6 days old is reduced to about 10, and no CSBV detection can be detected, which shows that strong antagonistic virus reaction is generated in the infected larvae after proline feeding, the infection degree of the virus to the larvae is obviously reduced, and the fatality rate of the infected larvae is reduced.
EXAMPLE 3 morphological analysis of proline after intervention in healthy and infected larvae
On the 18 th day (22 th day from the egg stage) of the experiment of example 1, the states of the larvae of each group in example 1 were observed with a stereomicroscope and recorded by photographing.
Morphological observation results are shown in FIG. 4, in which the larvae in the virus-infected group did not pupate even though they did not die, but the larvae in the CK group and post-infection proline intervention group (75. mu.g/ml) pupate and eclose into adult bees, and the life activities were very active. The CSBV infection is characterized in that 1-3 day old larvae are infected, so that the larvae in bee colonies die in large quantity and cannot pupate, healthy larvae pupate and emerge into adult bees, which is the normal development process of honey, and infected CSBV larvae can pupate and emerge into adult bees, which shows that proline intervention plays a role in antagonizing viruses, so that infected larvae can develop normally.
Experimental example 4 influence of CSBV infection and proline intervention on the expression level of genes involved in larva immunity
To analyze the effect of CSBV Infection and proline intervention on the Immune system of bee larvae, the expression levels of the antimicrobial peptide genes in each group of bee larvae in example 1 were examined by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR using β -actin as an internal reference gene (Shan, L., Liuhao, W., Jun, G., Yujie, T., Yanping, C., Jie, W., Jilian, L., Chinese Sacbrood Virus Infection in Asian Honey Bees (Apis cerana) and Host Immune Responses to the Virus Infection, Journal of Invertebrate Pathology.2017, doi: http:// dx. doi.org/10.1016/j.jj.2017.09.006). The detection result is specifically as follows:
1. expression detection of bee antibacterial peptide (Apidaecin) gene
The bee antibacterial peptide (Apidaecin) is the main antibacterial peptide of bees, the detection result is shown in fig. 5, the expression quantity of the bee antibacterial peptide of the larvae of the control group (CK) is only 1.38-1.74, the expression quantity of the bee antibacterial peptide is increased in the larvae after the larvae are infected with CSBV for 24 hours and reaches 30, but the relative expression quantity of the bee antibacterial peptide of the larvae of 5-6 days old falls back and is maintained at about 20.
The proline intervention (preparation group) on healthy larvae can cause the up-regulation of the expression quantity of the bee antibacterial peptide, and the maximum relative expression quantity is up-regulated to about 46; and (3) applying proline intervention (intervention group) to the infected larvae, so that the expression quantity of the bee antibacterial peptide is greatly increased, the expression quantity of the bee antibacterial peptide of the larvae of 5 days old and 6 days old is mainly increased, and the highest single-day expression quantity can reach about 112.
The result shows that the exogenous approach intervenes by proline to strongly induce the expression capacity of endogenous bee antibacterial peptide, enhance the innate immunity defense of the larva to resist CSBV invasion and reduce the fatality rate. The above results indicate that proline has the ability to strongly induce the expression of endogenous honey bee antimicrobial peptide from honey larvae to antagonize the invasion of CSBV to the larvae.
2. Hymenoptera antibacterial peptide (Hymenoptaecin)
Hymenoptera antimicrobial peptides are the most important supplementary peptides in bee antimicrobial peptides. The detection result of the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide is shown in fig. 6, the relative expression quantity of the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide of the larvae in the Control (CK) group is only 1.31-1.56, the expression quantity of the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide in the larvae is increased to about 22 after the larvae are infected with CSBV for 24 hours, the expression quantity of the larvae aged 4-6 days is not obviously changed, and the expression quantity is maintained at 20.47-21.86.
The proline intervention (preparation group) on healthy larvae can cause the expression level of the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide to be obviously increased, the maximum increase range of the expression level of 5-day-old larvae can be up to about 370, the expression level of the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide is increased along with the increase of the proline administration amount, and a good dose-effect relationship is shown; and (3) applying proline intervention (intervention group) to the infected larvae, so that the expression quantity of the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide is greatly increased, the expression quantity of 5-day-old larvae is increased to the maximum, and the maximum expression quantity can reach about 450.
The result shows that the exogenous approach intervenes by proline to strongly induce the expression capacity of endogenous antibacterial peptide hymenoptera antibacterial peptide, enhance the innate immunity defense of larvae to resist CSBV invasion and reduce the fatality rate.
3. Bee moth antibacterial peptide (Abaecin)
The bee moth antibacterial peptide is used as a backup peptide of the bee antibacterial peptide, and only plays a role when the bactericidal capability of the bee antibacterial peptide and the hymenoptera antibacterial peptide is lost.
The detection result of the bee moth antibacterial peptide is shown in figure 7, the relative expression quantity of the bee moth antibacterial peptide of the larvae of the control group (CK) is only 1.52-3.68, after the larvae are infected with CSBV for 24 hours, the expression quantity of the bee moth antibacterial peptide in the larvae is obviously increased to 73.25, but the expression quantity of 5-6 days old falls back to 25.4-26.97.
The proline intervention (preparation group) on the healthy larvae can cause the expression level of the bee moth antibacterial peptide to be up-regulated to about 25; proline intervention (intervention group) on the infected larvae can greatly reduce the bee moth antibacterial peptide expression quantity which is increased by the infection.
4. Bee Defensin (Defensin)
The detection result of the bee defensin is shown in figure 8, the relative expression quantity of the bee defensin of the larva in the Control (CK) group is only 1.32-1.62, the expression quantity of the bee defensin in the larva is increased after the larva is infected with CSBV for 24 hours, the maximum expression quantity of the bee defensin reaches 46.26, the expression quantity of the bee defensin in 5 days is 52.59, and the bee defensin in 6 days falls back to 22.28.
The proline intervention (preparation group) is given to healthy larvae to cause the up-regulation of the bee defensin expression quantity, and the bee defensin expression quantity of the larvae of 6 days old is the highest and can be up-regulated to about 77; and (3) applying proline intervention (intervention group) to the infected larvae greatly up-regulates the expression quantity of the bee defensin, and the maximum expression quantity of the bee defensin can reach about 130 by using 6-day-old larvae.
The bee defensin is the only antibacterial peptide in bee hemolymph for inhibiting gram-positive bacteria, but the expression amount is the least. According to the invention, the expression capacity of endogenous antimicrobial peptide bee defensins is strongly induced through proline intervention, the innate immunity defense of larvae is enhanced to resist CSBV invasion, and the fatality rate is reduced. The above results indicate that proline has the ability to strongly induce the expression of bee defensin, an endogenous antimicrobial peptide of infected larvae.
According to the invention, the dynamic change of the expression of the Immune related genes in larvae of 4-6 days old of Chinese Bees infected with CSBV is analyzed, and the expression level of the antibacterial peptide genes in the infected larvae is higher than that of healthy larvae on the whole, which indicates that the infected CSBV can promote the expression of the Immune related genes in the larvae of the Bees, and the result is matched with the research result of Liu-san (Shan, L., Liuhao, W., Jun, G., Yujie, T., Yanping, C., Jie, W., Jiian, L., Chinese Sacbrood Virus Infection in Asian Home Bees (Apis cerana cerana) and Host Immune Responses to the Virus Infection, Journal of Inverteby Pathology.2017, and phi: http:// dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.j.006).
The invention takes Chinese bee infected with CSBV and healthy Chinese bee as research objects, and utilizes a fluorescent quantitative PCR method to quantitatively detect and compare the expression conditions of 4 antibacterial peptide genes in the disease-sensitive and healthy bee larva development stages, thereby defining the immune response condition of the Chinese bee after CSBV infection; and quantitatively detecting and comparing the expression conditions of 4 antibacterial peptide genes after proline is given to sick and healthy bee larvae: the proline intervention strongly induces the expression capacity of endogenous antibacterial peptides of infected larvae, namely hymenoptera antibacterial peptide (Hymenoptacin), bee Defensin (Defensin) and bee antibacterial peptide (Apidacin). The high expression of the three antibacterial peptides for one day or more resists the invasion of CSBV to larvae, reduces the fatality rate of the larvae, promotes the larvae to pupate and emerge into adult bees, and is an effective method for enhancing the immunity of the larvae of the Chinese bees and resisting CSBV infection; meanwhile, the proline intervention can also up-regulate the expression level of the healthy Chinese bee larva antibacterial peptide to form a quick and effective defense mechanism for quickly killing or eliminating exogenous pathogenic microorganisms and protecting the growth and development of the larva.
In conclusion, proline can inhibit the proliferation of CSBV and reduce the copy number of CSBV in bees; can also induce the expression of the endogenous antibacterial peptide of the bee, improve the innate immunity defense of the bee, resist the invasion of the larva by the CSBV in vivo and prevent the further infection of the CSBV and other pathogenic microorganisms, thus being used for preventing and treating the sacbrood disease of the bee.
Although the invention has been described in detail hereinabove by way of general description, specific embodiments and experiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications and improvements can be made thereto based on the invention. Accordingly, such modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope of the invention as claimed.
