The proteolytic and antioxidant systems are important components of humoral immunity, and these biomarkers indicate the immune status. These compounds are synthesized in the bees' fat body and released into the hemolymph. Their functions maintain the organism's homeostasis and protect it against adverse environmental factors (including pathogens). We determined the activities of acidic, neutral, and alkaline proteases and their inhibitors, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the level of total antioxidant potential (TAC). These compounds were investigated in the fat body and hemolymph in the females with increased reproductive potential, i.e., queens and rebels, and in normal (non-reproductive sterile non-rebel) workers. The phenoloxidase (PO) activities were determined in the hemolymph. The normal workers had higher activities of proteases and their inhibitors, SOD and CAT, in the fat body and hemolymph, compared to the queens and rebels. The protease inhibitors were not usually active in the queens. As we predicted, the rebels revealed values between those of the queens and normal workers. The highest activities of proteases and antioxidants were identified in the fat body from the third tergite in comparison with the sternite and the fifth tergite. These results are important for oxidative stress ecology and give a better understanding of the functioning of the fat body and the division of labor in social insects.
蛋白水解和抗氧化系统是体液免疫的重要组成部分,这些生物标志物表明免疫状态。这些化合物在蜜蜂的脂肪体中合成并释放到血淋巴中。它们的功能维持生物体的稳态并保护其免受不利环境因素(包括病原体)的影响。我们测定了酸性、中性和碱性蛋白酶及其抑制剂的活性,以及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)、丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)以及总抗氧化潜力(TAC)水平。在具有较高生殖潜力的雌性蜜蜂(即蜂王和叛逆工蜂)以及正常(非生殖不育非叛逆)工蜂的脂肪体和血淋巴中对这些化合物进行了研究。在血淋巴中测定了酚氧化酶(PO)的活性。与蜂王和叛逆工蜂相比,正常工蜂在脂肪体和血淋巴中的蛋白酶及其抑制剂、SOD和CAT活性更高。蛋白酶抑制剂在蜂王中通常不具有活性。正如我们所预测的,叛逆工蜂的各项指标值介于蜂王和正常工蜂之间。与腹板和第五背板相比,在第三背板的脂肪体中发现蛋白酶和抗氧化剂的活性最高。这些结果对氧化应激生态学很重要,有助于更好地理解脂肪体的功能以及社会性昆虫的劳动分工。
