Selection of Reference Genes for Quantitative Real-Time PCR in Chrysoperla nipponensis (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) Under Tissues in Reproduction and Diapause.


ABSTRACT: Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto), which has the unique diapause phenotype distinguishable from nondiapause adult, is an ideal model organism for studying the mechanism of reproductive diapause. However, there is no reliable and effective reference genes used for the reproductive diapause study of C. nipponensis. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the expression stability of 10 candidate reference genes (Tub1, Arpc5, EF1a, 128up, RpS5, RpS26e, GAPDH, Arp3, Actin, ?-Tub) in adults under diapause and nondiapause induction conditions using four statistical algorithms including GeNorm, NormFinder, Bestkeeper, and ?CT method. Results showed that Arp3 and Tub1 were the most stable reference genes in all samples and in the adult tissues group. Arp3 and RpS5 were the most stable reference genes in the development degree group. ?-Tub and EF1a were unstable reference genes under the conditions of this study. Meanwhile, to verify the reliability of the reference genes, we evaluated the relative expression levels of Vg and VgR in different treatments. Significant upregulation and downregulation in expression level of two genes in response to diapause termination and diapause fat body tissue was, respectively, observed when using Arp3 as the reference gene but not when using an unstable reference gene. The reference genes identified in this work provided not only the basis for future functional genomics research in diapause of C. nipponensis and will also identify reliable normalization factors for real-time quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction data for other related insects.
