摘要： Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as critical regulators in honeybee physiology, influencing development, behavior, and stress responses. This study investigates the role of lncRNA LOC113219358 in the immune response and neurophysiological regulation of Apis mellifera brains. Using RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we demonstrate that silencing lncLOC113219358 significantly alters the expression of 162 mRNA transcripts, including genes associated with detoxification, energy metabolism, and neuronal signaling. Functional enrichment analysis revealed involvement in neuropeptide signaling, ATP synthesis, and oxidative phosphorylation pathways. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activities were significantly downregulated with 48 h of RNAi treatment. Additionally, RNA pull-down assays identified 113 proteins interacting with lncLOC113219358, including ATP synthase subunits, heat shock proteins, and major royal jelly proteins, suggesting its role in cellular stress responses and neural activity modulation. These findings provide mechanistic insights into how lncLOC113219358 mediates honeybee responses to environmental stressors, contributing to our understanding of lncRNA-regulated neural and immune functions in pollinators.
