Description

miR-318 for regulating development of insect wings and application of miR-318 in pest control
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of agricultural biotechnology and pest control, in particular to miR-318 for regulating development of insect wings and application thereof in pest control.
Background
The wings are used as important organs of the insects, endow the insects with the flying ability, and increase the space for feeding and mating of the insects. At present, the lepidoptera insect becomes a key point and a difficult point in agricultural pest control, a molecular mechanism for controlling the development of the insect wing is analyzed, a method for inhibiting the development of the insect wing is found, and important theoretical and practical significance is provided for the control of the lepidoptera pest.
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a small-molecule non-coding RNA with the length of about 22nt and is highly conserved in animal evolution. miRNA causes the transcription inhibition of target genes or the degradation of mRNA by recognizing the binding site on the 3' -UTR of the mRNA of the target genes, thereby regulating the expression of the target genes at the level of transcription and posttranscription. Studies have shown that mirnas are involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, senescence, apoptosis, migration, invasion, development, and signal transduction, among others.
Thousands of miRNAs have been isolated and found in nematode, drosophila, mouse and human cells, however, functional studies of miRNAs are relatively slow compared to frequent discovery of new miRNAs. Although bioinformatics approaches predict the effect of a series of miRNAs on target genes, few miRNAs have given direct evidence to demonstrate the target genes and their function of miRNAs. Therefore, how to determine the function of miRNA has become one of the most difficult and urgent tasks in this field.
In recent years, documents report that miRNA participates in the process of regulating and controlling insect wing development, wherein Drosophila research is the most extensive, and researchers find that miR-iab-4 and an antisense strand miR-iab-8 thereof can inhibit the activity of an ultra-bithorax gene (Ultrabithorax, Ubx) and further control the conversion between wings and balance bars; miR-7 influences the development of drosophila wing primordium by negatively regulating the expression of target gene yki; miR-9a causes wing tissue deletion and ectopic cell apoptosis by inhibiting expression of target gene LIM-only; miR-12 and miR-283 can cause wing development deformity by regulating a Hedgehog signal path. In other insects, miRNA is relatively less in research on wing development, and miR-263, miR-193 and miR-2788 are found to play a potential regulation role in the wing development process through the analysis of miRNA expression levels in different development stages of the sleeve disc.
miR-318 is a member of a plurality of miRNAs, but few researches on the function of miR-318 are carried out at present, and the regulation of insect wing development by miR-318 is not reported.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
As described in the background section, the functional studies of mirnas are relatively slow, and how to determine the function of mirnas has become one of the most difficult and urgent tasks in this field. Although the miRNA is reported to regulate the development of insect wings, the expression modes of different miRNAs are different, and the functions and the action mechanisms of the miRNAs are also obviously different. Therefore, the discovery of new miRNA for regulating insect wing development has important theoretical and practical significance for the control of winged pests.
Based on the method, the miRNA capable of regulating and controlling insect wing development is subjected to a large amount of screening and deep research. The result shows that the wing area can be obviously reduced and the development of wings can be inhibited by over-expressing miR-318.
Furthermore, the invention also researches the action mechanism of miR-318 for inhibiting insect wing development. The regulation of the size and volume of tissue and organs during the growth and development of organisms has been one of the most fundamental problems in biological research. The discovery of the Hippo signaling pathway begins to solve this biological puzzle. As a signaling pathway to control tissue growth and cell fate, the Hippo signaling pathway is evolutionarily highly conserved from arthropods to mammals. Therefore, the invention researches the action relationship between miR-318 and a Hippo signal pathway, and the result shows that miR-318 directly inhibits the expression of a transcription factor plated (sd) of the Hippo signal pathway, so that the downstream of the pathway is inhibited to promote cell proliferation and inhibit the expression of apoptosis target genes, and finally the development of wings is inhibited.
In order to make the technical solutions of the present application more clearly understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
The test materials used in the examples of the present invention are all conventional in the art and commercially available.
Example 1:
one, miR-318 overexpression obviously reduces the area of drosophila wings
En-gal4 virgins specifically expressed in the Drosophila wing porterior (P) region were crossed with UAS-GFP and UAS-miR-318 androgens, respectively, and the offspring adult wing phenotype was observed. The wings were photographed using a stereomicroscope and the areas of the P and antigen (A) regions were measured by Image J software, the P/A ratio was calculated and compared with the control group and statistically analyzed. Because the individual sizes of the later-generation male drosophila melanogaster and the female drosophila melanogaster are different, the study respectively carries out statistics on the female and male individuals, and the study result only shows the wings of the male drosophila melanogaster imago and the statistical result.
The results are shown in FIG. 1, where the P/A value of the control group was 1.3, and the P/A value decreased to 0.8 after miR-318 was overexpressed. Further statistical analysis showed that overexpression of miR-318 significantly reduced the area of the P region of the wings compared to control drosophila (FIGS. 1A-C).
II, over-expression of miR-318 for inhibiting expression of target gene of Hippo pathway
In order to detect whether overexpression miR-318 regulates the activity of a Hippo signal channel, En-gal4 virgins are respectively hybridized with UAS-GFP and UAS-miR-318 androgens, offspring 3-instar larvae are dissected, pterogues are fixed by formaldehyde, PBST is used for rinsing for 3 times, and then the protein level of Cyclin E is detected by using a Cyclin E antibody.
Cyclin E is a target gene of the Hippo pathway. Overexpression of miR-318 significantly reduced the protein levels of Cyclin E (FIGS. 2B-B ") as compared to the control group (FIGS. 2A-A"). The GFP region in FIG. 2A is the region of En-gal4 expression, FIG. 2A 'is the protein level of Cyclin E in the wing primordia, and FIG. 2A "is a combined graph of FIGS. 2A and 2A'. The GFP region in FIG. 2B is the region where En-gal4 is expressed and also the region where miR-318 is overexpressed, FIG. 2B 'is the protein level of Cyclin E in the wing primordia, and FIG. 2B "is a combined graph of FIGS. 2B and 2B'.
Thirdly, miR-318 targets Hippo pathway transcription factor sd
The above results show that miR-318 is likely to be involved in Hippo signaling pathway homeostasis. To find a potential target of miR-318, we performed bioinformatics analysis, and found that the 3' -UTR region of the sd gene contains the binding site of miR-318 (FIG. 3).
Drosophila has its own advantages as a model insect, and very mature systems for overexpression and knock-down of genes have been developed in Drosophila today. The gal4-UAS system is a drosophila binary expression system commonly used at present, wherein gal4 is a transcription activator found in yeast, and can be combined with galactose Upstream Activating Sequence (UAS) at a special site in a DNA sequence to induce the transcription and translation of genes downstream of the UAS. Crossing with transgenic Drosophila lines carrying gal4 and UAS, respectively, produces progeny that conditionally express the gene of interest to which the UAS sequence is linked. This study was done with the aid of gal4-UAS system. Different gal4 can promote gene overexpression in different regions, and en-gal4 used in this study was expressed in Drosophila P region, and internal controls were performed in the A and P regions of the same wing, or wild-type comparison was performed. Compared with other non-model insects, the microinjection method is adopted to overexpress a certain gene, and the gal4-UAS overexpression gene is more durable and stable and has no mechanical damage. En-gal4 virgins, UAS-GFP males and UAS-miR-318 males adopted in the embodiment of the invention can be constructed by a conventional method.
Various elements of the Hippo signaling pathway in cotton bollworms have been identified and demonstrated to be conserved among fruit flies. Therefore, the miR-318 can be used as a potential target gene for preventing and controlling the cotton bollworm.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
