Comparative Proteomic Profiling Reveals Molecular Characteristics Associated with Oogenesis and Oocyte Maturation during Ovarian Development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel).

ABSTRACT: Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular emphasis on differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) involved in oogenesis. A total of 4838 proteins were identified with an average peptide number of 8.15 and sequence coverage of 20.79%. Quantitative proteomic analysis showed that a total of 612 and 196 proteins were differentially expressed in developing and mature ovaries, respectively. Furthermore, 153, 196 and 59 potential target proteins were highly expressed in early, vitellogenic and mature ovaries and most tested DEPs had the similar trends consistent with the respective transcriptional profiles. These proteins were abundantly expressed in pre-vitellogenic and vitellogenic stages, including tropomyosin, vitellogenin, eukaryotic translation initiation factor, heat shock protein, importin protein, vitelline membrane protein, and chorion protein. Several hormone and signal pathway related proteins were also identified during ovarian development including piRNA, notch, insulin, juvenile, and ecdysone hormone signal pathways. This is the first report of a global ovary proteome of a tephritid fruit fly, and may contribute to understanding the complicate processes of ovarian development and exploring the potentially novel pest control targets.

Project description:BackgroundThe oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) has been considered to be one of the most important agricultural pest around the world. As a holometabolous insect, larvae must go through a metamorphosis process with dramatic morphological and structural changes to complete their development. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of these changes, RNA-seq of B. dorsalis from wandering stage (WS), late wandering stage (LWS) and white puparium stage (WPS) were performed.ResultsIn total, 11,721 transcripts were obtained, out of which 1914 genes (578 up-regulated and 1336 down-regulated) and 2047 genes (655 up-regulated and 1392 down-regulated) were found to be differentially expressed between WS and LWS, as well as between WS and WPS, respectively. Of these DEGs, 1862 and 1996 genes were successfully annotated in various databases. The analysis of RNA-seq data together with qRT-PCR validation indicated that during this transition, the genes in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, and genes encoding P450s, serine protease inhibitor, and cuticular proteins were down-regulated, while the serine protease genes were up-regulated. Moreover, we found some 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) biosynthesis and signaling pathway genes had a higher expression in the WS, while the genes responsible for juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis, degradation, signaling and transporter pathways were down-regulated, suggesting these genes might be involved in the process of larval pupariation in B. dorsalis. For the chitinolytic enzymes, the genes encoding chitinases (chitinase 2, chitinase 5, chitinase 8, and chitinase 10) and chitin deacetylase might play the crucial role in the degradation of insect chitin with their expressions significantly increased during the transition. Here, we also found that chitin synthase 1A might be involved in the chitin synthesis of cuticles during the metamorphosis in B. dorsalis.ConclusionsSignificant changes at transcriptional level were identified during the larval pupariation of B. dorsalis. Importantly, we also obtained a vast quantity of RNA-seq data and identified metamorphosis associated genes, which would all help us to better understand the molecular mechanism of metamorphosis process in B. dorsalis.
