Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a pathogen that causes significant losses to the silkworm industry. Numerous antiviral genes and proteins have been identified by studying silkworm resistance to BmNPV. However, the molecular mechanism of silkworm resistance to BmNPV is unclear. We analyzed the differences between the susceptible strain 871 and a near-isogenic resistant strain 871C. The survival of strain 871C was significantly greater than that of 871 after oral and subcutaneous exposure to BmNPV. Strain 871C exhibited a nearly 10,000-fold higher LD50 for BmNPV compared to 871. BmNPV proliferation was significantly inhibited in all tested tissues of strain 871C using HE strain and fluorescence analysis. Strain 871C exhibited cellular resistance to BmNPV rather than peritrophic membrane or serum resistance. Strain 871C suppressed the expression of the viral early gene Bm60. This led to the inhibition of BmNPV DNA replication and late structural gene transcription based on the cascade regulation of baculovirus gene expression. Bm60 could also interact with the viral DNA binding protein and alkaline nuclease, as well as host proteins Methylcrotonoyl-CoA carboxylase subunit alpha, mucin-2-like protein, and 30 K-8. Overexpression of 30 K-8 significantly inhibited BmNPV proliferation. These results increase understanding of the molecular mechanism behind silkworm resistance to BmNPV and suggest targets for the breeding of resistant silkworm strains and the controlling pest of Lepidoptera.
