The insect cuticle is a multifunctional shield providing shape stabilization and threat protection. It has a complex composition of cuticular components. Although cuticular melanization is essential and melanin spots are common for many insects, information about the connection between melanization and other cuticular components is limited. The ladybird Harmonia axyridis adults and pupae exhibit regular and predictable melanin spots on their cuticles. Here, RNAi-mediated silencing of CYP4G79, which functions as an oxidative decarbonylase in hydrocarbon biosynthesis, decreased the cuticular hydrocarbon contents at different levels of H. axyridis, resulted in enlarging (mild) or breaking (severe) melanin spots on cuticle. In addition, transcriptional analysis showed key genes of cuticular melanization up-regulated under CYP4G79 RNAi; Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Oil Red O (ORO)-staining results suggested a distribution correlation among Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs), lipids and melanin. For severe phenotypes with broken melanin spots of treated beetle’s pupal cuticle, histological examinations showed that abnormal pigmentation in cuticular layers were physiologically caused by cuticular microstructural change. In brief, these two cuticular components of H. axyridis, may function together; and cuticular hydrocarbons are essential to the formation of melanin spots. Furthermore, the orderly formations of cuticular components are important to cuticle construction; this study furthers our understanding of insect cuticle formation and functions.

RNAi介导的CYP4G79沉默揭示了异黄体中表皮碳氢化合物与黑色素的关系

昆虫角质层是提供形状稳定和威胁防护的多功能防护罩。它具有复杂的表皮成分组成。尽管表皮黑化是必不可少的,而黑色素斑点对于许多昆虫来说却很常见,但是有关黑化与其他表皮成分之间联系的信息仍然有限。瓢虫Harmonia axyridis成虫和p在其表皮上显示出规则且可预测的黑色素斑点。在此,RNAi介导的CYP4G79沉默在碳氢化合物生物合成中起氧化脱羰酶的作用,降低了木糖衣原体不同水平下的表皮碳氢化合物含量,导致表皮上的黑色素斑点变大(轻微)或破裂(严重)。此外,转录分析显示CYP4G79 RNAi下表皮黑色化的关键基因上调。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和油红O(ORO)染色表明表皮碳氢化合物(CHCs),脂质和黑色素之间存在分布相关性。对于处理过的甲虫p表皮黑色素斑点断裂的严重表型,组织学检查显示表皮层的异常色素沉着是由表皮的微结构改变引起的生理性的。简而言之,木乃伊的这两个表皮成分可能一起起作用。表皮碳氢化合物对黑色素斑点的形成至关重要。此外,表皮成分的有序形成对于表皮的构造很重要。这项研究加深了我们对昆虫角质层形成和功能的理解。脂质和黑色素。对于处理过的甲虫p表皮黑色素斑点断裂的严重表型,组织学检查显示表皮层的异常色素沉着是由表皮的微结构改变引起的生理性的。简而言之,木乃伊的这两个表皮成分可能一起起作用。表皮碳氢化合物对黑色素斑点的形成至关重要。此外,表皮成分的有序形成对于表皮的构造很重要。这项研究加深了我们对昆虫角质层形成和功能的理解。脂质和黑色素。对于处理过的甲虫p表皮黑色素斑点断裂的严重表型,组织学检查显示表皮层的异常色素沉着是由表皮的微结构改变引起的生理性的。简而言之,木乃伊的这两个表皮成分可能一起起作用。表皮碳氢化合物对黑色素斑点的形成至关重要。此外,表皮成分的有序形成对于表皮的构造很重要。这项研究加深了我们对昆虫角质层形成和功能的理解。轴心线虫的这两个表皮成分可能一起起作用。表皮碳氢化合物对黑色素斑点的形成至关重要。此外,表皮成分的有序形成对于表皮的构造很重要。这项研究加深了我们对昆虫角质层形成和功能的理解。轴心线虫的这两个表皮成分可能一起起作用。表皮碳氢化合物对黑色素斑点的形成至关重要。此外,表皮成分的有序形成对于表皮的构建很重要。这项研究加深了我们对昆虫角质层形成和功能的理解。
