Abstract

Immunodepression can be required for entomopathogenic bacteria to induce their potent pathogenicities to the target insects. Here, we raise a hypothesis that the capacity of a pathogenic bacterium to induce the target insect immunodepression has positive relationship with the degree of pathogenicity. X. nematophilus had 1,200 times as potent as another entomopathogenic bacterium, Staphylococcus gallinarum against the fifth instar larvae of silkworm, Bombyx mori, when they were Injected into the hemocoel. Although both bacteria had significant cytotokic effect on the hemocytes of B. mori, X. nematophilus gave faster and greater cytotoxicity than did S. gallinarum. In cellular immune reactions, B. mori could form 20 hemocyte nodules against the bacterial injection with 5${\times}$10$\^$5/ cells. The number of the hemocyte nodules was significantly depressed when live X. nematophilus was inject-ed, but not in S. gallinarum. Activation of prophenoloxidase (proPO) was depressed in the bacterial injection. The depression of PO activation was significantly greater in X. nematophilus infection than in S. gallinarum injection. Lysozyme activity was induced by the injection of S. gallinarum at 4 h after the treatment, but not induced in X. nematophilus at all the time. These results showed that X. nemato-philus induced greater immunodepression against B. mori and resulted in higher pathogenicity than did S. gallinarum. Therefore, this study suggests that the immunodepression induced by entomopathogenic bacteria has positive relationship with their pathogenicity.

곤충병원세균이 효과적으로 병원력을 발휘하는 데 대상 곤충의 면역저하가 요구될 수 있다. 본 연구는 대상곤충의 면역저하가 병원세균의 살충능력에 직접 연관된다는 가설을 세웠다. 곤충병원세균을 5령 누에(Bombyx mori)의 혈강에 접종하였을 때, X. nematophilus는 다른 곤충병원세균인 Staphyiococcus gallinarum 보다 1,200배 높은 병원력을 보였다. 비록, 두 곤충병원세균은 누에의 혈구세포에 대해서 독성효과를 가지고 있지만, X. nematophiius는 S. gallinarum과 비교해보다 빠르고 높은 세포독성 영향을 보였다. 세포성 면역반응에서 5${\times}$$10^{5}$농도로 세균이 접종되었을 때, 누에는 약 20개 정도의 소낭을 형성하였다. 특히, 살아있는 X. nematophilus가 접종된 누에에서 소낭 형성은 크게 감소하였지만, S. gullinarum은 소낭 형성 감소에 영향을 주지 않았다. 두 세균 모두는 prophenoloxidase (proPO)의 활성화를 억제시켰다. 그러나 X. nematophilus.가 S. gallinarum보다 높게 PO 활성화를 억제시켰다. 라이소자임의 활성유도는 S. gallinarum접종 후 4시간에서 관찰되었으나, X. nematophilus를 접종하였을 때는 라이소자임의 활성이 전혀 관찰되지 않았다 이러한 결과들은 누에에서 X. nematophilus가 S. gallinarum보다 더 큰 면역저하를 유발하여 병원성을 높였다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 본 연구는 곤충병원세균에 의해서 유발된 면역저하는 곤충병원세균의 병원성과 연관되어 있다는 것을 제시한다.다.
