Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128995. [PMID: 38159702 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
As we known, inducibility is an important feature of P450 genes. Previous studies indicated that CYP6B7 could be induced and involved in fenvalerate detoxification in Helicoverpa armigera. However, the regulatory mechanism of CYP6B7 induced by fenvalerate is still unclear. In this study, CYP6B7 promoter of H. armigera was cloned and the cis-acting element of fenvalerate was identified to be located between -84 and - 55 bp of CYP6B7 promoter. Subsequently, 33 candidate transcription factors (CYP6B7-fenvalerate association proteins, CAPs) that may bind to the cis-acting element were screened and verified by yeast one-hybrid. Among them, the expression levels of several CAPs were significantly induced by fenvalerate. Knockdown of juvenile hormone-binding protein-like (JHBP), RNA polymerase II-associated protein 3 (RPAP3), fatty acid synthase-like (FAS) and peptidoglycan recognition protein LB-like (PGRP) resulted in significant expression inhibition of CYP6B7, and increased sensitivity of H. armigera to fenvalerate. Co-transfection of reporter gene p (-84/-55) with pFast-CAP showed that JHBP, RPAP3 and PGRP could significantly increase the activity of CYP6B7 promoter. These results suggested that trans-acting factors JHBP, RPAP3 and PGRP may bind with cis-acting elements to regulate the expression of CYP6B7 induced by fenvalerate, and play an important role in the detoxification of H. armigera to fenvalerate.

Xi O, Guo W, Hu H. Analysis of Genes Associated with Feeding Preference and Detoxification in Various Developmental Stages of Aglais urticae. INSECTS 2024; 15:30. [PMID: 38249036 PMCID: PMC10816842 DOI: 10.3390/insects15010030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Herbivorous insects and host plants have developed a close and complex relationship over a long period of co-evolution. Some plants provide nutrients for insects, but plants' secondary metabolites also influence their growth and development. Urtica cannabina roots and leaves are poisonous, yet Aglais urticae larvae feed on them, so we aimed to clarify the mechanism enabling this interaction. At present, studies on the detoxification mechanism of the A. urticae are rare. In our study, first, we used the A. urticae larval odor selection behavior bioassay and choice feeding preference assay to analyze the feeding preferences of A. urticae on its host plant, U. cannabina. Next, we used transcriptome sequencing to obtain the unigenes annotated and classified by various databases, such as KEGG and GO. In this study, we found that U. cannabina could attract A. urticae larvae to feed via scent, and the feeding preference assay confirmed that larvae preferred U. cannabina leaves over three other plants: Cirsium japonicum, Cannabis sativa, and Arctium lappa. The activity of detoxifying enzymes GST and CarE changed in larvae that had consumed U. cannabina. Furthermore, through transcriptomic sequencing analysis, 77,624 unigenes were assembled from raw reads. The numbers of differentially expressed genes were calculated using pairwise comparisons of all life stages; the expression of detoxification enzyme genes was substantially higher in larvae than in the pupal and adult stages. Finally, we identified and summarized 34 genes associated with detoxification enzymes, such as UDP-glucose 4-epimerase gene, 5 Glutathione S-transferase genes, 4 Carboxylesterase genes, 4 Cytochrome P450 genes, 10 ATP-binding cassette genes, 4 Superoxide dismutase, and Peroxidase. Moreover, we identified 28 genes associated with the development of A. urticae. The qRT-PCR results were nearly consistent with the transcriptomic data, showing an increased expression level of four genes in larvae. Taken together, this study examines the correlation between A. urticae and host plants U. cannabina, uncovering a pronounced preference for A. urticae larvae toward host plants. Consistent with RNA-seq, we investigated the mechanism of A. urticae's interaction with host plants and identified detoxification-related genes. The present study provides theoretical support for studying insect adaptation mechanisms and biological control.

Abstract
Insect herbivores use phytochemicals as signals to induce expression of their phytochemical-detoxifying cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s). The regulatory cascades that transduce phytochemical signals to enhanced expression of P450s are the focus of this review. At least seven signaling pathways, including RTK/MAPK, GPCR/CREB, GPCR/NFκB, ROS/CncC/Keap1, AhR/ARNT, cytosol NR, and nucleus-located NR, may be involved in phytochemical induction of P450s. Constitutive overexpression, overphosphorylation, and/or activation of one or more effectors in the corresponding pathway are common causes of P450 overexpression that lead to phytochemical or insecticide resistance. Future research should pay more attentions to the starting point of each pathway, the number of pathways and their cross talk for a given phytochemical, and the pathways for downregulation of P450s.

Adaptation by copy number variation increases insecticide resistance in the fall armyworm. Commun Biol 2020; 3:664. [PMID: 33184418 PMCID: PMC7661717 DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01382-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Understanding the genetic basis of insecticide resistance is a key topic in agricultural ecology. The adaptive evolution of multi-copy detoxification genes has been interpreted as a cause of insecticide resistance, yet the same pattern can also be generated by the adaptation to host-plant defense toxins. In this study, we tested in the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), if adaptation by copy number variation caused insecticide resistance in two geographically distinct populations with different levels of resistance and the two host-plant strains. We observed a significant allelic differentiation of genomic copy number variations between the two geographic populations, but not between host-plant strains. A locus with positively selected copy number variation included a CYP gene cluster. Toxicological tests supported a central role for CYP enzymes in deltamethrin resistance. Our results indicate that copy number variation of detoxification genes might be responsible for insecticide resistance in fall armyworm and that evolutionary forces causing insecticide resistance could be independent of host-plant adaptation.
