Citronellal Attenuates Oxidative Stress-Induced Mitochondrial Damage through TRPM2/NHE1 Pathway and Effectively Inhibits Endothelial Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Genome-Wide Characterization and Gene Expression Analysis of TRP Channel Superfamily Genes in the Migratory Locust, Locusta migratoria

The TRP channel superfamily was widely found in multiple species. They were involved in many extrasensory perceptions and were important for adapting to the environment. The migratory locust was one of the worldwide agricultural pests due to huge damage. In this study, we identified 13 TRP superfamily genes in the locust genome. The number of LmTRP superfamily genes was consistent with most insects. The phylogenetic tree showed that LmTRP superfamily genes could be divided into seven subfamilies. The conserved motifs and domains analysis documented that LmTRP superfamily genes contained unique characteristics of the TRP superfamily. The expression profiles in different organs identified LmTRP superfamily genes in the head and antennae, which were involved in sensory function. The expression pattern of different life phases also demonstrated that LmTRP superfamily genes were mainly expressed in third-instar nymphs and male adults. Our findings could contribute to a better understanding of the TRP channel superfamily gene and provide potential targets for insect control.
