Abstract

The concept of innate immunity in insects which refers to the first line of host defense constitutes the humoral and cellular components which are involved in recognition and actively participate in the elimination of the intruding foreign micro- or macro-organisms. Several recent studies suggest that juvenile hormone (JH) modulates the cellular immune reactions in response to pathogen. In this study, pyriproxyfen (a JH agonist as an insect growth regulator) was tested in its any inhibitory effect on the immune reactions of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua. To this end, five different hemocyte morphotypes of final instar S. exigua were identified by phase contrast microscopy. Plasmatocytes and granular cells, which constitute about 90% of the total hemocyte count, were prominently distinguished based on their basophilic/acidophilic nature using Giemsa stain. The role of pyriproxyfen on the functional ability of hemocytes was analyzed using FITC-labeled Providencia vermicola for the phagocytic potential of the hemocytes. Both granular cells and plasmatocytes exhibited phagocytosis behavior. Pyriproxyfen significantly inhibited the phagocytosis of both cell types, proposing its novel action as an immunosuppressant.

외래 병원체 침입에 대해서 방어기작으로서 곤충이 보이는 선천성 면역작용은 세포성 및 체액성 면역반응을 포함하며, 이는 비자기 인식 후 유기된다. 최근 여러 연구는 유약호르몬이 외래 물질에 반응한 세포성 면역작용을 조절한다고 제시하고 있다. 본 연구는 유약호르몬 동력제로서 곤충생장조절제인 피리프록시펜을 이용하여 이 약제가 가지는 면역억제작용을 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua)을 대상으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 위상차현미경을 이용하여 파밤나방 최종령 유충으로부터5가지 형태의 서로 다른 혈구세포를 동정하였다. 이 가운데 과립혈구와 부정형혈구는 전체 혈구의 90% 이상을 차지하며, Giemsa 염색법에 의해 이들 상호간에 뚜렷한 형태적 구분이 가능했다. 유약호르몬 동력제인 피리프록시펜의 혈구세포의 식균작용에 미치는 영향이 FITC로 표지된 세균(Providencia vermicola)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 과립혈구와 부정형혈구는 활발한 식균작용을 보였다. 피리프록시펜은 현격하게 이들 두 혈구세포의 식균작용을 억제시켰다. 본 연구는 면역억제자로서 피리프록시펜의 새로운 기능을 제시하고 있다.
