Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silkworm diapause, and in particular to a siRNA capable of allowing a bivoltine variety of silkworm to produce non-diapause eggs, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Diapause is a phenomenon in which insects actively stop developing at a certain stage of individual development. As a genetic trait, it plays an important role in the survival, evolution, and prosperity of insects. The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is an egg diapause type, and the univoltine silkworm breed lays diapause eggs under normal conditions. Diapause eggs need to be treated with low temperature for a long time to be released, which brings inconvenience to raising silkworms many times a year. Therefore, the study of the diapause phenomenon of silkworms has always been a concern of people.
[0003] Whether silkworm eggs go into diapause mainly depends on the action of diapause hormone (DH) synthesized and secreted by the subpharyngeal ganglion (SG) during the pupal stage. When the synthesized and secreted DH acts on the ovaries and developing silkworm eggs, it causes the upregulation of multiple gene expressions, thereby changing the material metabolism in the silkworm eggs and turning them into diapause eggs. The action of silkworm DH (BmDH) is transduced by the silkworm diapause hormone receptor (BmDHR), and the signaling pathway of BmDHR transducing BmDH signals requires the mediation of silkworm Kurtz (BmKurtz) protein. However, there is a lack of research on the regulation of silkworm egg diapause by BmKurtz protein mediated by BmDHR signaling pathway. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for allowing bivoltine varieties of silkworms to produce non-diapause eggs, which adopts RT-PCR cloning, PCR amplification, agarose gel electrophoresis recovery, connection with mammalian expression vector pFlag-CMV-3, mixed reaction with T7 reaction buffer, ATP solution, CTP solution, GTP solution, UTP solution, and T7 enzyme solution, and then injected into the abdomen of female silkworm pupae, so as to allow bivoltine varieties of silkworms to produce non-diapause eggs by regulating the BmDHR signaling pathway.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] 1. A method for preparing siRNA that allows bivoltine silkworms to lay non-diapause eggs
[0007] (1) The fat bodies of fifth-instar silkworms were dissected and collected, total RNA was extracted, and then reverse transcribed to obtain first-strand cDNA;
[0008] (2) using the first-strand cDNA as a template, amplifying by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to clone and obtain the silkworm Kurtz cDNA;
[0009] (3) using the silkworm Kurtz cDNA as a template, amplifying by PCR and recovering by agarose gel electrophoresis to obtain a BmKurtz DNA fragment, digesting the BmKurtz DNA fragment with HindIII / BamHI, and then ligating it with a mammalian expression vector pFlag-CMV-3 to obtain pFLAG-BmKurtz;

[0011] (5) The reaction template is mixed with 10×T7 reaction buffer, ATP solution, CTP solution, GTP solution, UTP solution and T7 enzyme solution to react, and then subjected to subsequent treatment to obtain BmKurtz siRNA as the siRNA.
[0012] The step (1) is specifically as follows: dissecting and collecting the fat body of the fifth instar silkworm on the third day, using a Trizol kit to extract total RNA, and then using a reverse transcription first-strand cDNA synthesis reagent to reverse transcribe the total RNA to obtain the first-strand cDNA, wherein the reverse transcription conditions are: denaturation at 65°C for 4 minutes, reaction at 42°C for 55 minutes, and inactivation at 70°C for 13 minutes.
[0013] The step (2) is specifically:

The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification conditions were: pre-denaturation at 93°C for 40s, annealing at 58°C for 40s, and extension at 71°C for 2.2min for 32 cycles.
[0015] In the step (3), the BmKurtz DNA fragment is obtained in the following manner:
[0016] The BmKurtz cDNA was used as a template, and PCR amplification was performed using a forward primer such as SEQ ID NO.3 and a reverse primer such as SEQ ID NO.4. The PCR amplification conditions were: pre-denaturation at 93°C for 40s, annealing at 58°C for 40s, extension at 71°C for 2.2min, 32 cycles, and extension with rTaq enzyme for 16min.
[0017] In the step (4), the reaction template is obtained in the following manner:
[0018] Using the pFLAG-BmKurtz as a template, PCR amplification was performed using specific primers such as SEQ ID NO.5 and SEQ ID NO.6, respectively. The PCR amplification conditions were: 93°C pre-denaturation for 40s, 58°C annealing for 40s, 71°C extension for 2.2min, and 32 cycles.
[0019] The step (5) is specifically as follows:
[0020] (5.1) Add 1.5-2.0 μg of the reaction template and 2 μL of 10×T7 reaction buffer, 2 μL of ATP solution, 2 μL of CTP solution, 2 μL of GTP solution, 2 μL of UTP solution and 2 μL of T7 enzyme solution mixture into a test tube in sequence;
[0021] (5.2) Continue to add nuclease-free double distilled water to 20 μL and mix thoroughly, place at 37°C for 18 hours, and then cool to room temperature;
[0022] (5.3) Add 1 μL of TURBO DNA enzyme to the mixture obtained in step 5.2, mix well, and incubate at 37°C for 16 min;
[0023] (5.4) Add 30 μL of nuclease-free double distilled water, 30 μL of 7.5 M lithium chloride and 50 mM EDTA to terminate the reaction;
[0024] (5.5) Centrifuge at 15000 rpm for 16 min at 4°C, remove the supernatant, and add 1 mL of 70% by mass ethanol solution for washing;
[0025] (5.6) Centrifuge at 15000 rpm for 16 min at 4°C, remove 70% by mass of the ethanol supernatant, and dissolve the precipitate in nuclease-free double distilled water to obtain BmKurtz siRNA.
[0026] 2. An siRNA that enables a bivoltine silkworm to produce non-diapause eggs
[0027] The preparation method described in step 1 is adopted to prepare the product.
[0028] 3. Application of siRNA to enable bivoltine silkworms to produce non-diapause eggs

[0030] 4. An application method of siRNA for making bivoltine silkworms produce non-diapause eggs
[0031] The siRNA obtained in step 2 was injected into the abdomen of female silkworm pupae of the bivoltine variety. After the pupae emerged, they mated normally and laid non-diapause eggs.
[0032] 18-22 μg of the siRNA sterilized by filtration membrane is injected into the abdomen of female silkworm pupae of the bivoltine variety that lays diapause eggs on the second day of pupation, and the pupae are placed in an environment with a temperature of 24-25°C, a humidity of 70-80%, and light during the day and dark at night for protection. After the pupae emerge, the pupae mate normally and lay non-diapause eggs.
[0033] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the method of the present invention for making bivoltine silkworm varieties produce non-diapause eggs is achieved by regulating the signal pathway of the silkworm diapause hormone receptor (BmDHR) transducing the silkworm diapause hormone (BmDH) with the mediating factor BmKurtz, which has a positive effect on studying the diapause mechanism of silkworm embryos, carrying out technological innovation and improving the economic benefits of traditional sericulture, etc. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The method for using siRNA to make bivoltine silkworms produce non-diapause eggs according to claim 9 is characterized in that: 18-22 μg of the siRNA sterilized by filtration membrane is injected into the abdomen of female silkworm pupae of the bivoltine variety that lays diapause eggs on the second day of pupation, and the pupae are placed in an environment with a temperature of 24-25°C, a humidity of 70-80%, and light during the day and dark at night for protection. After the pupae emerge, the pupae mate normally and lay non-diapause eggs.
