Abstract

Juvenile hormone (JH) serves as a pivotal endocrine regulator of reproductive diapause in insects, though the molecular mechanisms governing JH signaling remain poorly characterized. This investigation assesses the roles of the histone acetyltransferase p300/CBP in mediating reproductive diapause through JH signaling in the cabbage beetle Colaphellus bowringi. RNA interference-mediated suppression of p300/CBP in reproductive female adults induced diapause-like phenotypes, including arrested ovarian maturation, suppressed vitellogenesis, enhanced lipid storage, and upregulated expression of diapause-associated genes. Along with downregulation of key JH biosynthetic enzymes and signaling components. While exogenous JH application decreased lipid accumulation, it failed to rescue ovarian developmental arrest. Parallel experiments in diapausing females with p300/CBP knockdown yielded similar results - JH analog treatment reduced lipid reserves without stimulating ovarian development. These findings collectively demonstrate that p300/CBP regulates photoperiodic reproductive diapause through dual regulation of JH biosynthesis and signal transduction pathways in C. bowringi. Our results establish p300/CBP as a critical mediator of JH biosynthesis and signaling during photoperiod-induced reproductive diapause. This work advances our understanding of epigenetic regulation in insect diapause and provides a molecular framework for future studies on environmental adaptation strategies in insects.

General information

This dataset does not include large-scale datasets such as transcriptomes; instead, it is organized according to the figures and tables in the article. It primarily comprises RT-qPCR data and various biochemical assay results. The calculated data from RT-qPCR, TG, TL, WB, ovarian size measurements, lipid droplet size measurements, and HPLC/MSMS are provided in CSV format, while other incompatible data are presented in PPT files. Additionally, anatomical images of the cabbage beetle ovaries are included.

Description of the data and file structure

We used dsRNA to knock down the key lysine acetyltransferase p300/CBP gene in the cabbage beetle (Colaphellus bowringi), a Coleopteran vegetable pest that undergoes reproductive diapause induced by a long photoperiod. By measuring ovarian phenotypes, lipid accumulation levels, juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis, and JH response levels, we analyzed the mechanism by which p300/CBP regulates the occurrence of reproductive diapause in the cabbage beetle through the JH pathway. Additionally, we combined methoprene induction experiments to analyze the specificity of p300/CBP in regulating the ovarian response to JH signaling in the cabbage beetle. SD means short-day, reproductive females. LD means long-day, diapause females. MG means mid-gut, FB means fat bodies, OVA means ovaries. Fig 1c is a schematic diagram of the RNAi target region and contains no actual data; therefore, it is not included in this dataset.
