摘要: Insect sepsis is a severe consequence that arises from the invasion of the hemocoel by symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes and bacteria. In the present study, we unveiled the heightened virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae and the entomopathogenic bacteria Xenorhabdus bovienii, which operate symbiotically, against the wax moth Galleria mellonella. Maximum mortality was observed at 25 degrees C while the optimal infestation efficiency was 20 nematodes per host. After infestation, G. mellonella displayed rapid darkening and softening, accompanied by an escalated esterase activity at 9 h. The X. bovienii, released by S. feltiae, underwent substantial proliferation and discharged toxins that attacked hemocytes, thus triggering extensive hemolysis and sepsis. The host G. mellonella was usually killed within 24 h due to disseminated septicemia. Additionally, X. bovienii infestation led to the upregulation of metabolites like 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid. Strikingly, we identified the perilous actinomycin D, generated through kynurenine metabolites, representing a novel biomarker of insect sepsis. Furthermore, a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis unveiled a noteworthy upregulation of gene expression associated with actinomycin D. Overall, X. bovienii induced apoptosis and sepsis through actinomycin D production, indicating its pivotal role in infestation activity. These findings open up new avenues for studying the mechanism of sepsis and developing innovative biotic pesticides.
