Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes metabolize various xenobiotics in insects. Compared to numerous P450s associated with insecticide detoxification and resistance, fewer have been identified to bioactivate proinsecticides in insects. Here we reported that two P450s, CYP4C62 and CYP6BD12, in Nilaparvata lugens could bioactivate chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus insecticide, into its active ingredient chlorpyrifos-oxon in vivo and in vitro. RNAi knockdown of these two genes significantly reduced the sensitivity to chlorpyrifos and the formation of chlorpyrifos-oxon in N. lugens. Chlorpyrifos-oxon was generated when chlorpyrifos was incubated with the crude P450 enzyme prepared from N. lugens or recombinant CYP4C62 and CYP6BD12 enzymes. The expression reduction of CYP4C62 and CYP6BD12 and alternative splicing in CYP4C62 reduced the oxidation of chlorpyrifos into chlorpyrifos-oxon, which contributed importantly to chlorpyrifos resistance in N. lugens. This study revealed a novel mechanism of insecticide resistance due to the bioactivation reduction, which would be common for all currently used proinsecticides.

Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) is an insect pest that threatens potato crops. Multiple options exist to limit the impact of this pest even though insecticides remain a primary option for its control. Insecticide resistance has been reported in Colorado potato beetles and a better understanding of the molecular players underlying such process is of utmost importance to optimize the tools used to mitigate the impact of this insect. Resistance against the insecticide spinosad has been reported in this insect and this work thus aims at exploring the expression of targets previously associated with insecticide response in Colorado potato beetles exposed to this compound. Amplification and quantification of transcripts coding for cytochrome P450s and glutathione S-transferases were conducted via qRT-PCR in insects treated with varying doses of spinosad and for different time duration. This approach notably revealed differential expression of CYP6a23 and CYP12a5 in insects exposed to low doses of spinosad for 4 h as well as modulation of CYP6a13, CYP6d4, GST, GST1, and GST1-Like in insects treated with high doses of spinosad for the same duration. RNAi-based targeting of CYP4g15 and CYP6a23 was associated with marked reduction of transcript expression 7 days following dsRNA injection and reduction of the former had a marked impact on insect viability. In general, results presented here provide novel information regarding the expression of transcripts relevant to spinosad response in Colorado potato beetles and reveal a novel target to consider in the development of RNAi-based strategies aimed at this potato pest.

Abstract
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (PWN) causes pine wilt disease (PWD), which is one of the most devastating pine diseases worldwide. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) catalyzes the biosynthetic metabolism of terpenoids and plays an important role in the modification of secondary metabolites in all living organisms. We investigated the molecular characteristics and biological functions of Bx-cyp29A3 in B. xylophilus. The bioinformatics analysis results indicated that Bx-cyp29A3 has a transmembrane domain and could dock with L(-)-carvone. The gene expression pattern indicated that Bx-cyp29A3 was expressed in 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mg/mL L(-)-carvone solutions. The Bx-cyp29A3 expression increased in a dose-dependent manner and peaked at 24 h of exposure when the L(-)-carvone solution concentration was 0.8 mg/mL. However, the gene expression peaked at 0.6 mg/mL after 36 h. Furthermore, RNA interference (RNAi) indicated that Bx-cyp29A3 played an essential role in the response to L(-)-carvone. The mortality rates of the Bx-cyp29A3 knockdown groups were higher than those of the control groups in the 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mg/mL carvone solutions after 24 h of exposure or 36 h of exposure. In summary, bioinformatics provided the structural characteristics and conserved sequence properties of Bx-cyp29A3 and its encoded protein, which provided a target gene for the study of the P450 family of B. xylophilus. Gene silencing experiments clarified the function of Bx-cyp29A3 in the immune defense of B. xylophilus. This study provides a basis for the screening of new molecular targets for the prevention and management of B. xylophilus.

[PMID: 35735842 PMCID: PMC9225154 DOI: 10.3390/insects13060505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary The Colorado potato beetle is an insect pest that can significantly harm potato crops. Various approaches are available to mitigate its damages including the use of insecticides. Unfortunately, its ability to develop resistance towards these compounds is substantial, and understanding the basis of this process is of utmost importance to design strategies to limit the impact of this insect. This work thus aims at quantifying the expression of key transcripts coding for proteins associated with insecticide resistance in Colorado potato beetles exposed to four insecticides. Significant variations were observed, notably in insects exposed to the insecticide clothianidin. Interestingly, subsequent reduction of endogenous levels of selected targets modulated by clothianidin was associated with increased insect susceptibility to this neonicotinoid. These results further highlight molecular players with potential relevance for insecticide resistance, and introduce novel targets that underlie clothianidin resistance in the Colorado potato beetle. Abstract The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) is known for its capacity to cause significant damages to potato crops worldwide. Multiple approaches have been considered to limit its spread including the use of a diverse arsenal of insecticides. Unfortunately, this insect frequently develops resistance towards these compounds. Investigating the molecular bases underlying the response of L. decemlineata against insecticides is of strong interest to ultimately devise novel and targeted approaches aimed at this pest. This work aimed to characterize, via qRT-PCR, the expression status of targets with relevance to insecticide response, including ones coding for cytochrome P450s, glutathione s-transferases, and cuticular proteins, in L. decemlineata exposed to four insecticides; chlorantraniliprole, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and spinosad. Modulation of levels associated with transcripts coding for selected cytochrome P450s was reported in insects treated with three of the four insecticides studied. Clothianidin treatment yielded the most variations in transcript levels, leading to significant changes in transcripts coding for CYP4c1, CYP4g15, CYP6a13, CYP9e2, GST, and GST-1-Like. Injection of dsRNA targeting CYP4c1 and CYP9e2 was associated with a substantial decrease in expression levels and was, in the case of the latter target, linked to a greater susceptibility of L. decemlineata towards this neonicotinoid, supporting a potential role for this target in clothianidin response. Overall, this data further highlights the differential expression of transcripts with potential relevance in insecticide response, as well as generating specific targets that warrant investigation as novel dsRNA-based approaches are developed against this insect pest.

Abstract
Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) perform a variety of important physiological functions, but it is their role in the detoxification of xenobiotics, such as natural and synthetic insecticides, that is the topic of this review. Recent advances in insect genomics and postgenomic functional approaches have provided an unprecedented opportunity to understand the evolution of insect P450s and their role in insect toxicology. These approaches have also been harnessed to provide new insights into the genomic alterations that lead to insecticide resistance, the mechanisms by which P450s are regulated, and the functional determinants of P450-mediated insecticide resistance. In parallel, an emerging body of work on the role of P450s in defining the sensitivity of beneficial insects to insecticides has been developed. The knowledge gained from these studies has applications for the management of P450-mediated resistance in insect pests and can be leveraged to safeguard the health of important beneficial insects.

Abstract
Neonicotinoid insecticides are neurotoxicants that cause serious environmental pollution and ecosystem risks. In the present study, a nitenpyram-degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus ruber CGMCC 17550, was isolated from a nitenpyram production sewage treatment tank. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed R. ruber degraded nitenpyram via a novel hydroxylation pathway to form three different metabolites, one of which was confirmed to hydroxylate nitenpyram at the C3 site of the 6-chlorpyridine cycle by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The nitenpyram degradation rate increased as the biomass of resting R. ruber CGMCC 17550 cells increased, reaching 98.37% at an OD600 of 9 in transformation broth containing 100 mg L-1 nitenpyram after 72 h of incubation. Nitenpyram degradation by R. ruber CGMCC 17550 was insensitive to dissolved oxygen levels. Use of glucose, fructose and pyruvate as co-substrates slightly increased nitenpyram degradation. The cytochrome P450 inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole strongly inhibited nitenpyram degradation, indicating that P450 enzymes may mediate nitenpyram hydroxylation. Inoculation of R. ruber CGMCC 17550 enhanced nitenpyram degradation in surface water. Additionally, R. ruber cells immobilized by calcium-alginate remediated 87.11% of 100 mg L-1 NIT in 8 d. Genome sequencing analysis confirmed that R. ruber CGMCC 17550 has metabolic diversity and abundant KEGG genes involved in xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism. These findings demonstrate that R. ruber CGMCC 17550 is capable of unique biodegradation of nitenpyram via the hydroxylation pathway and is a promising bacterium for bioremediation of contaminants.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides in the world and are implicated in the widespread population declines of insects including pollinators. Neonicotinoids target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are expressed throughout the insect central nervous system, causing a wide range of sub-lethal effects on non-target insects. Here, we review the potential of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to model the sub-lethal effects of neonicotinoids on pollinators, by utilizing its well-established assays that allow rapid identification and mechanistic characterization of these effects. We compare studies on the effects of neonicotinoids on lethality, reproduction, locomotion, immunity, learning, circadian rhythms and sleep in D. melanogaster and a range of pollinators. We also highlight how the genetic tools available in D. melanogaster, such as GAL4/UAS targeted transgene expression system combined with RNAi lines to any gene in the genome including the different nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes, are set to elucidate the mechanisms that underlie the sub-lethal effects of these common pesticides. We argue that studying pollinators and D. melanogaster in tandem allows rapid elucidation of mechanisms of action, which translate well from D. melanogaster to pollinators. We focus on the recent identification of novel and important sublethal effects of neonicotinoids on circadian rhythms and sleep. The comparison of effects between D. melanogaster and pollinators and the use of genetic tools to identify mechanisms make a powerful partnership for the future discovery and testing of more specific insecticides.

Abstract
Sitobion avenae (Fabricius), Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus), Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), and Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are important pests of wheat and other cereals worldwide. In this study, the susceptibilities of four wheat aphid species to seven insecticides were assessed. Furthermore, the activities of carboxylesterase (CarE), glutathione S-transferase (GSTs), and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450s) were determined in imidacloprid treated and untreated aphids. The results showed that the susceptibilities of four wheat aphid species to tested insecticides are different and M. dirhodum has shown higher tolerance to most insecticides. Relatively higher CarE and GST activities were observed in M. dirhodum, and P450s activities increased significantly in response to imidacloprid treatment. Moreover, susceptibility to imidacloprid were increased by the oxidase inhibitor piperonyl butoxide in M. dirhodum (20-fold). The results we have obtained imply that P450s may play an important role in imidacloprid metabolic process in M. dirhodum. We suggest that a highly species-specific approach is essential for managing M. dirhodum.

Abstract
Phosphorylation is a phase II detoxification reaction that, among animals, occurs near exclusively in insects, but the enzymes responsible have never been cloned or otherwise identified. We propose the hypothesis that members of the arthropod-specific ecdysteroid kinase-like (EcKL) gene family encode detoxicative kinases. To test this hypothesis, we annotated the EcKL gene family in 12 species of Drosophila and explored their evolution within the genus. Many ancestral EcKL clades are evolutionarily unstable and have experienced repeated gene gain and loss events, while others are conserved as single-copy orthologs. Leveraging multiple published gene expression datasets from D. melanogaster, and using the cytochrome P450s-a classical detoxification family-as a test case, we demonstrate relationships between xenobiotic induction, detoxification tissue-enriched expression and evolutionary instability in the EcKLs and the P450s. We devised a systematic method for identifying candidate detoxification genes in large gene families that is concordant with experimentally determined functions of P450 genes in D. melanogaster. Applying this method to the EcKLs suggested a significant proportion of these genes play roles in detoxification, and that the EcKLs may constitute a detoxification gene family in insects. Additionally, we estimate that between 11 and 16 uncharacterised D. melanogaster P450s are strong detoxification candidates. Lastly, we also found previously unreported genomic and transcriptomic variation in a number of EcKLs and P450s associated with toxic stress phenotypes using a targeted phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) approach in D. melanogaster, presenting multiple future avenues of research for detoxification genetics in this species.

[PMID: 31153474 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2019.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2018] [Revised: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 03/02/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Nitenpyram is very effective in controlling Nilaparvata lugens (brown planthopper, BPH), and its resistance has been reported in field populations; however, the resistance mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, cross-resistance and resistance mechanisms in nitenpyram-resistant BPH were investigated. A resistant strain (NR) with a high resistance level (164.18-fold) to nitenpyram was evolved through successive selection for 42 generations from a laboratory susceptible strain (NS). The bioassay results showed that the NR exhibited cross-resistance to imidacloprid (37.46-fold), thiamethoxam (71.66-fold), clothianidin (149.17-fold), dinotefuran (98.13-fold), sulfoxaflor (47.24-fold), cycloxaprid (9.33-fold), etofenprox (10.51-fold) and isoprocarb (9.97-fold) but not to triflumezopyrim, chlorpyrifos and buprofezin. The NR showed a 3.21-fold increase in cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) activity compared to that in the NS, while resistance was also synergized (4.03-fold) with the inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PBO), suggesting a role of P450. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes by quantitative real-time PCR results indicated that twelve P450 genes were significantly overexpressed in the NR strain, especially CYP6ER1 (203.22-fold). RNA interference (RNAi) suppression of CYP6ER1 through injection of dsCYP6ER1 led to significant susceptibility in the NR strain. The current study expands our understanding of the nitenpyram resistance mechanism in N. lugens, provides an important reference for integrated pest management (IPM), and enriches the theoretical system of insect toxicology.

Adverse effects of the insecticides chlordecone and fipronil on population growth and expression of the entire cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes in the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus and the marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2018; 202:181-187. [PMID: 30055411 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2018.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2018] [Revised: 07/18/2018] [Accepted: 07/18/2018] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Chlordecone and fipronil are used as an insecticide and have been widely detected in the aquatic environments. However, their toxicity is still poorly investigated in aquatic invertebrates. In this study, we examined effects of chlordecone and fipronil on population growth and transcriptional regulation of the entire cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes in the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus and the marine rotifer B. plicatilis. In B. calyciflorus, a 24 h-no observed effect concentration (NOEC-24 h) and a 24 h-median lethal concentration (LC50-24 h) of chlordecone were determined as 100 μg/L and 193.8 μg/L, respectively, while NOEC-24 h and LC50-24 h of fipronil were determined as 1000 μg/L and 2033.0 μg/L, respectively. In B. plicatilis, NOEC-24 h and LC50-24 h of chlordecone were 100 μg/L and 291.0 μg/L, respectively, while NOEC-24 h and LC50-24 h of fipronil were determined as 1000 μg/L and 5735.0 μg/L, respectively. Moreover, retardation in the population growth were observed in response to chlordecone and fipronil in both rotifer species, suggesting that chlordecone and fipronil have a potential adverse effects on life cycle parameters of two rotifer species. Additionally, modulation in the expressions of the entire CYP genes were demonstrated in response to chlordecone and fipronil at 24 h period. These results provide the better understanding on how chlordecone and fipronil can affect in population growth of two rotifers and CYP gene expressions in chlordecone- and fipronil-exposed rotifers.
