The PGE₂ receptor was identified and functionally assessed in two lepidopteran insects, <i>Manduca sexta</i> and <i>Spodoptera exigua</i>. However, its binding affinity to the receptor has not been reported. The PGE₂ receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) although its corresponding G-protein is not identified. PGE₂ binding assays were performed with membrane preparations from hemocytes of <i>M. sexta</i> larvae. We recorded an optimal binding in 4 h reactions conducted at pH 7.5 with 12 nM tritium-labeled PGE₂. We found that hemocytes express a single population of PGE₂ binding sites with a high affinity (Kd = 35 pmol/mg protein), which are specific and saturable. The outcomes of experiments on the influence of purine nucleotides suggested these are functional GPCRs. A bioinformatics analysis led to a proposed trimeric G-protein in the <i>S. exigua</i> transcriptome, in which the Gα subunit is classified into five different types: Gα(o), Gα(q), Gα(s), Gα(12), and Gα(f). After confirming expressions of these five types in <i>S. exigua</i>, individual RNA interference (RNAi) treatments were applied to the larvae using gene-specific double-stranded RNAs. RNAi treatments specific to Gα(s) or Gα(12) gene expression significantly suppressed the cellular immune responses although the RNAi treatments specific to other three Gα components did not. While PGE₂ treatments led to elevated hemocyte cAMP or Ca²⁺ levels, the RNAi treatments specific to Gα(s) or Gα(12) genes led to significantly reduced second messenger levels under PGE_2, although the RNAi treatments specific to the other three Gα components did not. These results showed that the PGE₂ receptor has high PGE₂ affinity in the nanomolar range and binds G-proteins containing a Gα(s) or Gα(12) trimeric component in <i>S. exigua</i> and <i>M. sexta</i>, and likely, all lepidopteran insects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8281,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology","volume":"117 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that cytochrome P450s are well known for their capacity in xenobiotic metabolism, this study attempted to explore the potential roles of cytochrome P450s in furanocoumarin transformation in this pest. Our data showed that two linear structures (psoralen and xanthotoxin) could be metabolized by three recombinant CYP9A enzymes, but no detectable depletion was observed for the linear one with the 8-dimethylallyloxy substituent on the coumarin moiety (imperatorin) and the angular furanocoumarin (angelicin). Initial epoxidation of the double bond connecting C2' and C3' of the furano ring following by cleavage of the epoxidated furan ring, leading to the formation of more soluble, less reactive and nonphotosensitizing metabolites, was identified as a common mechanism of linear furanocoumarin metabolism using a quadrupole/time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry interfaced with a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system.

Furthermore, resistant <i>T. castaneum</i> populations displayed substantial upregulation of DLD and COX gene expression, with DLD expression increasing by 10.53-fold and COX expression peaking at 102.57-fold in Patiala. Pearson correlation analysis indicated strong positive correlations (<i>r</i> &gt; 0.8) between enzymatic activity and gene expression for both DLD and COX, suggesting a coordinated role in resistance mechanisms. The PCA biplot illustrated distribution patterns of enzymatic activity and gene expression among field-resistant populations, highlighting the association between increased resistance and elevated enzymatic activity and gene expression levels.

Therefore, this study was conducted to quantify hemolymph trehalose levels in <i>A</i>. <i>pisum</i> using a fluorescent trehalose sensor (Tre-C04), which enhances green fluorescent protein fluorescence through the binding of trehalose to a ligand-binding protein fused to the fluorophore.
