The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is a destructive insect pest of rice. It causes reductions in rice yield and great economic losses. In this study, we used RNAi to explore the function of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4 (ITIH4) gene in the development and reproduction of the brown planthopper. Our results revealed that ITIH4 influences the survival, ovarian development, egg production, and egg hatching of this insect, indicating that ITIH4 plays important roles in development and reproduction. Considering the importance of ITIH4 in the brown planthopper, it may be a potential target for pest management. The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, is a difficult-to-control insect pest affecting rice yields in Asia. As a structural component of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI), the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain (ITIH) has been reported to be involved in various inflammatory or malignant disorders, ovarian development, and ovulation. To reveal the function of ITIH4 in N. lugens, the gene encoding N. lugens ITIH4 (NlITIH4) was cloned and characterized. NlITIH4 contains a signal peptide, a vault protein inter-alpha-trypsin domain, and a von Willebrand factor type A domain. qPCR analysis showed that NlITIH4 was expressed at all developmental stages and in all tissues (fat body, ovary, and gut), with the highest expression in the fat body. Double stranded NlITIH4 (dsNlITIH4) injection clearly led to an RNAi-mediated inhibition of the expression of NlITIH4 and resulted in reduced survival, delayed ovarian development, and reduced egg production and egg hatching. These results indicate that NlITIH4 plays an important role in the development and reproduction of N. lugens.
