Abstract
Gender sensitivity to ambient heat, despite well known in insect species, how it manifests during young and late larval instars of Bombyx mori is still unclear. To uncover this cryptic feature, different instars male and female larvae were subjected to varied thermal stress separately and sex-stage specific expression of proteins was investigated. Interestingly, heat shock proteins (HSPs) 90 and 70 were expressed differently in all the instars and also between male and female larvae as confirmed by immunoblot assay. Besides up- and downregulation of few HSPs and other normal proteins, discreet expression of protein was noticed in the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of male than female larvae which were identified as HSP70 by mass spectrometry. Furthermore, quantitative polymerase chain reaction results show 3.98- and 4.86-fold higher levels of Bmhsp70 and Bmhsp90 transcripts in male and female larvae, respectively, as a response to 40°C heat shock (HS) treatment. Conversely, in spite of the massive production of HSPs due to HS at 45°C, all the larvae were found dead, which is a strong proof of concept for autophagy. Comparatively, female larvae HS at 40°C succeed to spin cocoons with increased weight and silk contents than ...Continue Reading
