Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins, closely related to many physiological and pathological processes. In order to explore its role in silkworm, by PCR and Rapid-amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology, the full-length cDNA of Bmintegrin β1 in silkworm was acquired. The domain was predicted by domain prediction website. Phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze its evolutionary relationship. By prokaryotic expression system, protein purification method and immunizing mouse, the antibody against Bmintegrin β1 recombinant protein was obtained. The spatial-temporal expression profile of Bmintegrin β1 was investigated by semi quantitative PCR and Western blotting. Then we identified all 3 different spliceosomes, and they shared a common open reading frame of 2 502 bp, encoding 833 amino acids. Bmintegrin β1 contained all the classic domains of the integrin family, such as Integrin-B-tail, transmembrane domain etc. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Bmintegrin β1 was close to the homologous proteins from Heliothis assulta and Danaus plexippus. In order to understand the function of Bmintegrin β1 further, we generated the antibody. In addition, Western blotting demonstrated that the antibody recognized the Bmintegrin β1 recombinant protein. Then, semi quantitative PCR and Western blotting results showed that Bmintegrin β1 was widely expressed in most of tissues, among of them, it's exhibited the highest expression level in hemacyte. Overall, this study provides a foundation for the study of silkworm integrin family.

Scavenger receptor class B is involved in various indispensable physiological processes, like the formation and inhibition of atherosclerosis or other cardiovascular diseases, innate immune defense and the removal of apoptotic cells. Here, we cloned BmSCRB8, a member of scavenger receptor class B in silkworm. We obtained the full-length cDNA sequence of BmSCRB8 by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), including 2 668 bp. The ORF of BmSCRB8 is 1 704 bp, encoding 567 amino acids. Online software prediction indicated that the molecular weight of BmSCRB8 is 63.87 kDa and the isoelectric point (pI) is 6.06. The space-time expression profile of BmSCRB8 was detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), which implicated that BmSCRB8 is extensively expressed in each tissue and at each stage of blood. In addition, BmSCRB8 is highest expressed in fat body of silkworm, and is highly expressed in metamorphosis periods. Anti-BmSCRB8 polyclonal antibody was generated through prokaryotic expression, protein purification and mice immunization. Simultaneously, we constructed BmSCRB8 eukaryotic vector and then transfected embryonic cell line of silkworm. Immunofluorescence and overexpression showed that BmSCRB8 expressed specifically in membrane. Western blotting demonstrated that BmSCRB8 protein can be specifically recognized by anti-serum generated after mice immunization.

Integrins are cell adhesion receptors, which consists of several transmembrane glycoproteins. They are widely distributed on the cell surface and involved in signal transduction pathways. As a heterodimer, each integrin is composed of one α subunit and one β subunit. Integrins are mainly expressed on lepidopteran hemocytes and involved in cell immune response. The full-length cDNA sequence of BmIntegrin β2 was obtained by PCR and RACE, including 2 434 bp. BmIntegrin β2 was predicted to be a transmembrane protein. The BmIntegrin β2 expression profile was detected by qRT-PCR at L4D3 or L5D3 larval stage, and it was highly expressed in hemocyte and hematopoietic organ. Anti-BmIntegrin β2 polyclonal antibody was generated following prokaryotic expression, protein purification and animal immunization, which is highly specific and effective for recognizing BmIntegrin β2 protein through Western blotting. The results of plasmatocytes adhesion experiment showed that BmIntegrin β2 plays an important role on the adhesion and spreading of plasmatocytes to foreign surfaces. This study provides a foundation for further research of the biological function of BmIntegrin β2 gene.

Endangered animal medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, which is distinctive in the treatment of diseases. At present, the rare and endangered medicinal materials such as tiger bone, rhinoceros horn, pangolin, antelope horn, bear bile are listed as national key protected animals, so their clinical application is limited, the current solution is mainly based on the ideas and methods of similar pharmacological effects, close genetic relationships, artificial breeding, and artificial synthesis to find and develop alternatives for endangered animal medicinal materials. Although artificially cultured bear bile and musk, and artificially synthesized tiger bone, bezoar and musk can solve the shortage of endangered animal medicines to a certain extent, there are still some problems such as difficult breakthroughs in breeding technology and incomplete recognition in the substitute industry. According to this, based on summarizing the existing substitutes for endangered animal medicines, our group proposed the concept of homology, homogeneity and equivalent of substitutes, and constructed a new idea to develop and evaluate substitutes by combining frontier biotechnology with multi-omics detection, so as to provide some support for protecting rare and endangered animals and solving the shortage of endangered animal medicines.
