摘要： In insects, an insulin-like peptide (ILP) triggers the formation of the insulin receptor (InR)/the insulin receptor substrate Chico complex. The complex then recruits downstream of receptor kinase (Drk) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) to initiate two signaling branches, i.e., Drk-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Pi3K-protein kinase B subdivisions. Previous findings reveal that RNA interference (RNAi) of LdILP2 or Ldchico, rather than Ldpi3k92E, impairs larval-pupal and pupal-adult molting in the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata. It is accordingly hypothesized that the Drk-MAPK branch regulates larval metamorphosis. In the present paper, we first found that silencing LdILP2, Ldchico or Ldpi3k92E did not decrease the expression level of Lddrk, indicating other receptor tyrosine kinases' signaling except insulin pathway is not affected in the RNAi larvae. Moreover, two InRs and Torso were highly expressed in the final larval instars. Furthermore, RNAi of either Lddrk or Ldchico, or both of them equally affected larval-pupal and pupal-adult molts, and similarly repressed the expression of representative MAPK (Ldras and Ldraf), ecdysteroidogenesis (Ldphm and Ldsad), and 20E signaling (LdEcR, LdUSP, LdHR3 and LdE75) genes. 20E feeding by Lddrk RNAi larvae completely restored the reduced mRNA levels of LdEcR, LdHR3 and LdE75, but did not rescued the decreased Lddrk and LdUSP levels and the lowered pupation and emergence rates. Therefore, our findings suggest that the Drk-MAPK branch is involved in metamorphosis regulation in L. decemlineata.
