In order to effectively control Asiatic rice borer Chilo suppressalis, the midgut small RNA transcriptome was sequenced by using high-throughput Illumina Solexa sequencing technology, which was compared and analyzed between the group fed with Bt insecticidal protein Cry1Ca and the control group without Cry1Ca treatment. The sequencing results were verified by quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that the 30% lethal concentration (LC30) of Cry1Ca against C. suppressalis was 0.061 [mu]g/g. Most microRNA sequences were 22 nt in length. In the small RNA database, the proportions of annotated sequences were very low in both treatment and control groups, only 7.2% and 7.9%, respectively. After treated with Cry1Ca, the numbers of miRNA, snoRNA, snRNA, rRNA and piRNA were decreased. Compared with the control, 358 miRNAs were up-regulated and 747 miRNAs were down-regulated in the treatment group. Twenty-five known miRNAs with the highest transcriptional level were selected for further analysis. The transcriptional levels of these 25 miRNAs were significantly different between the Cry1Ca-treated group and the control, among which, three miRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 22 were significantly down-regulated. Among the novel miRNAs, 23 were upregulated and 43 were down-regulated. KEGG analysis indicated that miRNAs induced by Cry1Ca were involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. This pathway contained 17 target genes, of which 11 were regulated by multiple miRNAs. The numbers of miRNAs regulating each target gene ranged from 59 to 665, and the relative expression levels of miRNAs varied from 0.01 times to 23 289 times. These results suggested that miRNAs played an important role in regulation of defense against Bt insecticidal protein Cry1Ca in C. suppressalis. The results of quantitative real-time PCR were consistent with the sequencing results, suggesting an accurate sequencing result.
