Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) is a major biological control agent that is indirectly threatened by sulfoxaflor insecticide applications targeting pests in agro-ecosystems. However, the genome-wide response of H. axyridis to sulfoxaflor remains largely unknown. Here, we used high-throughput RNA-seq technology to characterize the variation in the transcriptomic profile of second-instar H. axyridis larvae after exposure to sulfoxaflor. Two libraries were generated, with 50,702,976 and 47,005,096 clean reads for the sulfoxaflor treatment and control, respectively; these were grouped into 112,497 transcripts and 52,229 unigenes, of which 33,820 and 25,175 unigenes were respectively matched to proteins in the NCBI (Nr) and Swiss-Prot databases. From these unigenes, 794 significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) consisting of 446 up- and 348 down-regulated genes, namely P450s, GSTs, USTs, ESTs, and others, were identified between the sulfoxaflor-treated and control groups. Furthermore, these DEGs were involved in several KEGG pathways including drug metabolism and metabolism of xenobiotic pathways. For transcriptome validation, 10 specifically expressed genes were selected and verified by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Together, these results demonstrated that sulfoxaflor induces notable variation in the transcriptome profile and pathways of H. axyridis, which establishes a basis for further molecular investigations.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
