BACKGROUND.Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play a crucial role in phytochemical metabolism and tolerance. Three P450 genes (TcCYP4Q3, TcCYP4Q5, TcCYP4Q7) are associated with the response of eugenol in Tribolium castaneum. However, the responding mechanisms of these P450 genes to eugenol remain unknown..RESULTS.Here, spatiotemporal expression profiling revealed that TcCYP4Q3 and TcCYP4Q5 were most highly expressed in late adult, while TcCYP4Q7 was predominantly expressed in late larva; and all of these three P450 genes were mainly expressed in the fat body of larvae. Furthermore, the expressions of these three P450 genes were significantly up-regulated after exposure to eugenol, and depletion of them enhanced the susceptibility of beetles to eugenol. Interestingly, RNA interference (RNAi) against the CncC gene, a transcription factor of CncC signaling pathway associated with regulation of insect P450s in response to phytochemicals, reduced the transcripts of these three P450 genes following exposure to eugenol. Investigation of CncC signaling pathway showed that this pathway could be activated by eugenol..CONCLUSION.Altogether, the results indicate that these three P450 genes are regulated by CncC signaling pathway to participate in the susceptibility of T. castaneum to phytochemicals. These findings will aid implications for the development of novel therapeutics to control pest.
