摘要: In insects, metamorphosis and reproduction are controlled by juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Kruppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1), a transcription factor, is regarded as a JH-early inducible gene responsible for the repression of metamorphosis. However, the role of Kr-h1 in reproduction of holometabolic insects is relatively less understood. In this study, we studied the role of Kr-h1 in larvae-pupae transition and female reproduction in the major agricultural pest Helicoverpa armigera. Two HaKr-h1 isoforms (HaKr-h1 and HaKr-h1 beta) were identified, with HaKr-h1 predominant in the cotton bollworm. In larvae, HaKr-h1 was predominately expressed in the epidermis and markedly up-regulated during the moult stage, whereas in adults HaKr-h1 was mainly expressed in females and the highest transcription was detected in the ovaries. Considering the function of hormones in larval metamorphosis, we examined the modulation of gene expression in response to hormones, which showed that HaKr-h1 was significantly induced by both JH analogue (JHA) and 20E. Knockdown of HaKr-h1 in fifth-instar larvae resulted in precocious metamorphosis from larvae to pupae. Moreover, a fluorescence immunoassay coupled with heterologous expression revealed that HaKr-h1 was localized in the nucleus of oocyte membrane. In female adults, depletion of HaKr-h1 severely repressed the transcription of vitellogenin, disrupted oocyte maturation and reduced the number of eggs laid, suggesting that HaKr-h1 is required for vitellogenesis and egg production in H.armigera. The present study provides insight into the roles of HaKr-h1 in JH-mediated reproduction and highlights HaKr-h1 as a target for suppression of lepidopteran pests.
