Comparative gut proteomics study revealing adaptive physiology of Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Scolytinae). FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1157455. [PMID: 38078109 PMCID: PMC10703158 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1157455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
The bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.), is a major pest of Norway spruce, Picea abies (L.), causing enormous economic losses globally. The adult stage of the I. typographus has a complex life cycle (callow and sclerotized); the callow beetles feed ferociously, whereas sclerotized male beetles are more aggressive and pioneers in establishing new colonies. We conducted a comparative proteomics study to understand male and female digestion and detoxification processes in callow and sclerotized beetles. Proteome profiling was performed using high-throughput liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of >3000 proteins were identified from the bark beetle gut, and among them, 539 were differentially abundant (fold change ±2, FDR <0.05) between callow and sclerotized beetles. The differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) mainly engage with binding, catalytic activity, anatomical activity, hydrolase activity, metabolic process, and carbohydrate metabolism, and hence may be crucial for growth, digestion, detoxification, and signalling. We validated selected DAPs with RT-qPCR. Gut enzymes such as NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CYC), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and esterase (EST) play a crucial role in the I. typographus for detoxification and digesting of host allelochemicals. We conducted enzyme activity assays with them and observed a positive correlation of CYC and GST activities with the proteomic results, whereas EST activity was not fully correlated. Furthermore, our investigation revealed that callow beetles had an upregulation of proteins associated with juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis and chitin metabolism, whereas sclerotized beetles exhibited an upregulation of proteins linked to fatty acid metabolism and the TCA cycle. These distinctive patterns of protein regulation in metabolic and functional processes are specific to each developmental stage, underscoring the adaptive responses of I. typographicus in overcoming conifer defences and facilitating their survival. Taken together, it is the first gut proteomic study comparing males and females of callow and sclerotized I. typographus, shedding light on the adaptive ecology at the molecular level. Furthermore, the information about bark beetle handling of nutritionally limiting and defence-rich spruce phloem diet can be utilized to formulate RNAi-mediated beetle management.

Comparative phosphoproteomics analysis provides insights into the responses of Chilo suppressalis to sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:2338-2352. [PMID: 36797212 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sublethal exposure to insecticides causes changes in insect behaviors and physiologies including feeding, mobility, communication, hormone homeostasis, development and fecundity, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms were largely unclear. Our previous studies revealed that sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure disturbed the hormone homeostasis, reduced the weight and longevity and prolonged the developmental duration of Chilo suppressalis. In the present study, the potential phosphorylation modification regulation mechanisms in C. suppressalis in response to sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure were explored using comparative and quantitative phosphoproteomics. RESULTS A total of 2640 phosphopeptides belonging to 1144 phosphoproteins were identified, among which 446 phosphopeptides derived from 303 unique phosphoproteins were differentially phosphorylated between the chlorantraniliprole-treated and control larvae. The phosphorylation levels of differentially phosphorylated phosphopeptides were further validated using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Functional classification and protein-protein interaction of the differentially phosphorylated proteins (DPPs) were analyzed. Generalized analysis of the DPPs and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified in our previous study showed that sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure significantly changed the transcription and phosphorylation levels of genes/proteins associated with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, cytoskeleton, signal transduction, transcription, translation and post-translational modification, leading to the dysfunctions of energy metabolism, transcription regulation, protein synthesis and modification, and signal transduction in C. suppressalis. Further analysis of the phosphorylation motifs in DPPs revealed that the MAPKs, CDKs, CaMK II, PKA, PKC and CK II protein kinases might be directly responsible for the phosphoproteomics response of C. suppressalis to chlorantraniliprole treatment. CONCLUSION Our results provide abundant phosphorylation information for characterizing the protein modification in insects, and also provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of insect post-translational modifications in response to sublethal insecticide exposure. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Food security is an important basis and guarantee to national safety, the loss caused by storage pests was a serious problem which affects the food security widely. Frequent application of chemical pesticides caused several critical crises including the development of resistance, pesticide residues, environmental pollution, and exposure risk to human or non-target organisms. The utilization of volatile components acts as a natural alternative for controlling storage pests has aroused extensive interest in recent years. It has been reported that terpinene-4-ol and limonene showed significant insecticidal activity against Sitophilus zeamais in our previous studies, which was evaluated to have strong influences to CYP450 genes. To determine the links and roles of related genes, we identified the SzCYP6MS subfamily genes which encoded a putative protein of 493 or 494 amino acids. Then, the expression of four CYP6MS subfamily genes were increased significantly under the fumigation stress by terpinen-4-ol and limonene, which was determined by the RT-qPCR analysis compared with non-fumigated colonies. In addition, we determined that RNAi-mediated CYP6MS genes knockdown significantly increased the sensitivity of S. zeamais to terpinen-4-ol and limonene, the mortality rates of insects with knocked down CYP6MS1, CYP6MS5, CYP6MS6, CYP6MS8, and CYP6MS9 genes increased by 25%, 25%, 16%, 17%, and 4% in terpinen-4-ol treatment groups and by 29%, 25%, 15%, 22%, and 3% in limonene treatment groups compared with that in the control groups, respectively. Finally, it was validated that CYP6MS5 exhibited the most stable binding with terpinen-4-ol that was similar to the result between CYP6MS8 and limonene which were verified by molecular docking analysis. In together, this study demonstrates the potential of terpinen-4-ol and limonene used as novel botanical pesticides to control storage pests, thereby reducing application of chemical pesticides and postponing resistance development.

Abstract
Liriomyza trifolii is an invasive pest of horticultural and vegetable crops that possesses robust competitive advantages that enable it to replace closely-related species. High temperatures often occur concomitantly with insecticide usage during L. trifolii outbreaks. In this study, we compared the transcriptomes of L. trifolii exposed to high temperature (40 °C T40), insecticide (LC50 of technical grade abamectin, I50) and combined high temperature and abamectin exposure (IT5040, I50 followed by T40; and TI4050, T40 followed by I50). RNA-seq generated and revealed 44,633 unigenes with annotation data; these were compared with COG and KEGG databases for functional classification and enrichment analysis. Compared with the I50 treatment, COG classification indicated that 'post-translational modification, protein turnover, chaperones' was enriched in the IT5040 treatment. In the TI4050 treatment, 'carbohydrate transport and metabolism' was the most abundant group. The most enriched KEGG pathways in the TI4050 and IT5040 treatments were 'longevity regulating pathway - multiple species' and 'protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum', respectively. Subsequent annotation and enrichment analyses indicated that stress-related genes such as CYP450s and HSPs were differentially expressed in the I50 vs. TI4050 or I50 vs. IT5040 treatment groups. Three commercial insecticide formulations were also used to further verify the expression of selected differentially-expressed genes. This study will be conductive to consider the temperature effect on insecticide tolerance in L. trifolii, and provides a framework for improving the application efficiency of insecticides in hot weather, which will ultimately reduce the overuse of pesticides.

Expression and functional analysis of cytochrome P450 genes in the integument of the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker). PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:577-587. [PMID: 32816378 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Revised: 06/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mythimna separata is a devastating agricultural pest that has recently developed insecticide resistance. Integument-specific cytochrome P450s were reported to participate in cuticle formation and could be potential targets for pesticide synthesis. RESULTS The transcriptome of integuments of M. separata larvae was constructed, generating a total of 38 058 unigenes with an average length of 1243 bp. These unigenes are enriched in functional categories such as lipid transport and metabolism, and secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism. Amongst unigenes, cytochrome P450s were identified and 66 unique P450s with complete open reading frames were named. These P450s were divided into 17 families and 32 subfamilies, containing conserved motifs such as helix C, helix I, helix K, and the heme-binding region. RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR analyses showed different expression levels of P450s in integuments of M. separata larvae. Further RT-qPCR analysis of P450s among different tissues showed that five P450s, especially CYP4G199, were specifically highly expressed in integuments. Moreover, knockdown of CYP4G199 disturbed cuticle formation, leading to imperfection in larval cuticle, and prevented pupation of M. separata. CONCLUSION Transcriptome of larval integuments provided sequence and expression of genes in M. separata. CYP4G199 is specifically highly expressed in larval integuments and is important for cuticle formation in M. separata.

Abstract
Biorational insecticides are composed of natural products, including animals, plants, microbes, and minerals, or are their derivates. The use of biorational products for the management of insect pests has grown intensively in recent years, which has increased their popularity and share on the insecticide global market. Much of these recent increases in the use of biorational insecticides has been derived from the generalized perception that conventional insecticides have undesirable ecological and human health impacts. However, the idea of simply replacing synthetic compounds with biorational insecticides without considering their potential unintended effects can mislead their use and reduce the market life of such pest management tools. A systematic literature survey encompassing over 15 000 scientific manuscripts published between 1945 and 2019 reinforces the bias of focusing on studying the targeted effects while overlooking the potential detrimental effects of biorational products on human health and the environment (e.g. death and negative sublethal effects on pollinators and beneficial arthropods such as parasitoids and predators). Thus, the risks associated with biorational compounds (e.g. control failures, the evolution of resistance, shift in dominance, and outbreaks of secondary or primary pests) need to be revisited and the outcomes of such inquiry could be decisive for their future use in pest management programs. The shortcomings of regulatory processes, knowledge gaps, and the outlook for the use of the biorational products in pest management are discussed. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
While sublethal effects of insecticide on insect development have been widely studied, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our previous studies revealed that sublethal concentrations of chlorantraniliprole significantly increased the juvenile hormone levels and resulted in both prolonged developmental time and reduced fecundity in Chilo suppressalis. In the present study, we evaluated the sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on molting hormone (MH) levels and mRNA expressions of three Halloween genes including CsCYP307A1, CsCYP306A1 and CsCYP314A1 in C. suppressalis. The results showed that the MH levels in different developmental stages of C. suppressalis were decreased after exposure to LC10 and LC30 of chlorantraniliprole. However, analysis of temporal expression profiles revealed that the mRNA levels of three Halloween genes were not closely correlated with the ecdysteroid titers in C. suppressalis. Notably, the transcript levels of CsCYP307A1, CsCYP306A1 and CsCYP314A1 were induced after treatment with sublethal concentrations of chlorantraniliprole in specific developmental stages. These results indicated that chlorantraniliprole had adverse effects on insect MH biosynthesis, and in addition to the involvement in MH biosynthesis, CsCYP307A1, CsCYP306A1 and CsCYP314A1 may also play important roles in the detoxification metabolism of chlorantraniliprole in C. suppressalis.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2020; 162:15-22.

Abstract
Terpinen-4-ol showed highly insecticidal activity to stored-grain pest Sitophilus zeamais, and cytochrome P450s were strongly induced in response to terpinen-4-ol fumigation. Understanding of the function of P450 enzyme system in the susceptibility to terpinen-4-ol in S. zeamais will benefit the potential application of terpinen-4-ol in controlling stored-grain pests. In the present study, the synergist piperonyl butoxide increased the toxicity of terpinen-4-ol to S. zeamais, with a synergism ratio of 3.5-fold. Two isoforms of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (SzCPR) were identified, with the difference at the N-terminal. SzCPR contained an N-terminal membrane anchor, FMN, FAD, and NADP binding domains. Expression levels of SzCPR were upregulated by tea tree oil (TTO) and its main constituent terpinen-4-ol under different concentrations and time periods. RNAi was generated for S. zeamais by feeding adults dsRNA and the knockdown of SzCPR increased the susceptibility of S. zeamais to terpinen-4-ol, with higher mortality of adults than control under terpinen-4-ol fumigation. Further RNAi analysis showed that P450 gene CYP6MS1 mediated the susceptibility of S. zeamais to terpinen-4-ol. These results revealed that cytochrome P450 enzyme system, especially CYP6MS1 participated in the susceptibility of S. zeamais to terpinen-4-ol. The findings provided a foundation to clarify the metabolic mechanisms of terpinen-4-ol in stored-grain pests.

Abstract
Correct timing of diapause entry and exit is critical for a species' survival. While many aspects of insect diapause are well-studied, the mechanisms underlying diapause termination remain largely unknown. The Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax, is a univoltine insect with an obligatory pupal diapause. The application of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) is known to terminate diapause in B. minax, and we used this approach, along with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation technology, to determine the proteins associated with diapause termination in this fly. Among 2,258 identified proteins, 1,169 proteins significantly differed at 1, 2, and 5 days post-injection of 20E, compared with the solvent-injected control group. Functional annotation revealed that the majority of differentially expressed proteins were enriched in the core energy metabolism of amino acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates as well as in signal transduction pathways including PPAR signaling, Calcium signaling, Glucagon signaling, VEGF signaling, Ras signaling, cGMP-PKG signaling, and cAMP signaling. A combined transcriptomic and proteomic analysis suggested the involvement of energy metabolism in the response of diapause transition. RNA interference experiments disclosed that a 20E injection triggers diapause termination probably through non-genomic actions, rather than nuclear receptor mediated genomic actions. Our results provide extensive proteomic resources for insect diapause transition and offer a potential for pest control by incapacitating the regulation of diapause termination either by breaking diapause prematurely or by delaying diapause termination to render diapausing individuals at a high risk of mortality.

Abstract
The anthranilic diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole was widely used for the controlling of Chilo suppressalis in China. Previous studies have revealed sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on the development and reproduction of C. suppressalis. In the present study, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed to investigate the global gene expression changes in third-instar larvae of C. suppressalis after exposure to LC30 of chlorantraniliprole. A total of 908 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified including 441 up-regulated and 467 down-regulated unigenes. Gene enrichment analysis revealed that the down-regulated DEGs were mainly linked to carbohydrate, energy, lipid and amino acid metabolisms as well as posttranslational modification, while most of the DEGs involved in signal transduction were up-regulated. Specifically, the DEGs encoding detoxification related genes were identified and validated by RT-qPCR. Our results provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of chlorantraniliprole action and detoxification in C. suppressalis and other insect pests.

Abstract
Oxidative damages have adverse effects on mammals. Growing studies have focused on exploring new antioxidants. Here, we report that Lactobacillus frumenti increases the total antioxidation capacity activities and decreases the total reactive oxygen species levels in porcine intestinal epithelial cells. Comparative proteomics revealed that expressions of peroxiredoxin 2, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1, antioxidant protein 1, and metallothionein-2A, which are associated with antioxidant defense system, were significantly increased with L. frumenti treatment. In germ-free mice, L. frumenti treatment also remarkably improves the intestinal antioxidant capacity. We further illustrated that nitric oxide production-mediated by nitric oxide synthase 1 activation is essential for L. frumenti-induced improvements in intestinal epithelial antioxidant capacity and barrier function. This study suggested that L. frumenti may be a potential probiotic used to prevent oxidative stress-induced aging and diseases in mammals.-Nie, Y., Hu, J., Hou, Q., Zheng, W., Zhang, X., Yang, T., Ma, L., Yan, X.

Abstract
Intestinal microbial interactions with the host epithelium have important roles in host health. Our previous data have suggested that Lactobacillus gasseri LA39 is the predominant intestinal Lactobacillus in weaned piglets. However, the regulatory role of L. gasseri LA39 in the intestinal epithelial protein expression in piglets remains unclear. In the present study, we conducted comparative proteomics approach to investigate the intestinal epithelial protein profile alteration caused by L. gasseri LA39 in piglets. The expressions of 15 proteins significantly increased, whereas the expressions of 13 proteins significantly decreased in the IPEC-J2 cells upon L. gasseri LA39 treatment. Bioinformatics analyses, including COG function annotation, GO annotation, and KEGG pathway analysis for the differentially expressed proteins revealed that the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway in IPEC-J2 cells was significantly activated by L. gasseri LA39 treatment. Further data indicated that two differentially expressed proteins UQCRC2 and TCIRG1, associated with the OXPHOS pathway, and cellular ATP levels in IPEC-J2 cells were significantly up-regulated by L. gasseri LA39 treatment. Importantly, the in vivo data indicated that oral gavage of L. gasseri LA39 significantly increased the expression of UQCRC2 and TCIRG1 and the cellular ATP levels in the intestinal epithelial cells of weaned piglets. Our results, both in vitro and in vivo, reveal that L. gasseri LA39 activates the OXPHOS pathway and increases the energy production in porcine intestinal epithelial cells. These findings suggest that L. gasseri LA39 may be a potential probiotics candidate for intestinal energy production promotion and confers health-promoting functions in mammals.
