摘要： HR4, a member of the nuclear receptor family, has been extensively studied in insect molting and development, but reports on crustaceans are still lacking. In the current study, the MnHR4 gene was identified in Macrobrachium nipponense. To further improve the molting molecular mechanism of M. nipponense, this study investigated whether MnHR4 functions during the molting process of M. nipponense. The domain, phylogenetic relationship and 3D structure of MnHR4 were analyzed by bioinformatics. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that MnHR4 was highly expressed in the ovary. In different embryo stages, the highest mRNA expression was observed in the cleavage stage (CS). At different individual stages, the mRNA expression of MnHR4 reached its peak on the fifteenth day after hatching (L15). The in vivo injection of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) can effectively promote the expression of the MnHR4 gene, and the silencing of the MnHR4 gene increased the content of 20E in M. nipponense. The regulatory role of MnHR4 in 20E synthesis and 20E signaling was further investigated by RNAi. Finally, the function of the MnHR4 gene in the molting process of M. nipponense was studied by counting the molting frequency. After knocking down MnHR4, the molting frequency of M. nipponense decreased significantly. It was proved that MnHR4 plays a pivotal role in the molting process of M. nipponense.
