摘要： Simple Summary It was reported that insulin-like and fork head transcription factor (FOXO) are involved in the regulation of diapause in insects. However, the upstream modulators of the insulin-like signaling pathway (ISP) involved in diapause regulation are still unknown. We used RNAi and an inhibitor to treat PTK and PTP1B in adult tissues and injected Prx V protein or RNAi Prx V under both short and long photoperiod conditions to identify both proteins and broader cellular metabolism influences on diapause regulation. We found that under short photoperiod conditions PTP1B in female adults induces egg diapause, whereas PTK in female adults inhibits egg diapause. Intriguingly, we also found that the antioxidant enzyme Prx V is a negative regulator of NADPH oxidizing reaction, and apparently decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and NADPH-OX activity. Thus, these results indicate that PTP1B, PTK and Prx V are upstream modulators that regulate diapause in eggs via the insulin signaling pathway. Furthermore, these findings have revealed a possible bridge connecting diapause hormone signaling to the insulin-like signaling pathway. Diapause is a physiological development arrest state that helps insects to adapt to seasonality and overcome adverse environmental conditions. Numerous reports have indicated that insulinlike and fork head transcription factor (FOXO) are involved in the regulation of diapause in insects. However, the upstream modulators of the insulin-like signaling pathway (ISP) involved in diapause regulation are still unknown. Here, we used RNAi and an inhibitor to treat PTK and PTP1B in adult tissues and injected Prx V or RNAi Prx V under both short and long photoperiod conditions and monitored effects on the expression of ISP genes, the phosphorylation levels for IR and IRS, the activity of NADPH oxidase, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and energy metabolism, seeking to identify both proteins and broader cellular metabolism influences on diapause regulation. We found that under short photoperiod conditions PTP1B in female adults induces egg diapause, whereas PTK in female adults inhibits egg diapause. Intriguingly, we also found that the antioxidant enzyme Prx V is a negative regulator of NADPH oxidizing reaction and apparently decreases ROS production and NADPH-OX activity. In contrast, all the eggs laid by adults that were treated with a series of knockdown or purified-protein injection experiments or inhibitor studies and that were reared under long photoperiod conditions hatched successfully. Thus, our results suggest a mechanism wherein diapause-related proteins (PTP1B, PTK, and Prx V) of female adults are the upstream modulators that regulate offspring eggs' diapause process through the insulin-like signaling pathway under short photoperiod conditions.
