蜕皮激素在银盾革蜱生殖滞育中的作用(英文)

用高效液相色谱法和放射免疫测定法测定了银盾革蜱滞育雌虫的合神经节、血淋巴、卵巢和整体中蜕皮激素的含量,并与正常发育的雌虫做比较。结果表明,滞育雌虫血淋巴和卵巢中蜕皮激素的含量在饱血后前10天与正常发育雌虫基本上相同。饱血10天以后,滞育雌虫蜕皮激素的含量下降,较正常发育雌虫少得多。蜕皮激素的缺乏影响了卵母细胞的发育。为阐明蜕皮激素对滞育雌虫的影响,在不同时间向银盾革蜱滞育雌虫体内注入不同剂量的β-蜕皮素。刚饱血者注入大剂量(1.375和10000ng/蜱)的β-蜕皮素引起雌虫死亡。饱血后20—30天,注入一定剂量(50,70,100ng/蜱)的β-蜕皮素可以促进卵黄形成,并解除了雌虫的生殖滞育,但其所产的卵量明显少于正常发育的雌虫。应用外源蜕皮激素解除硬蜱雌虫的生殖滞育现象尚属首次报道。

THE ROLE OF ECDYSTEROIDS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE DIAPAUSE OF DERMACENTOR NIVEUS NEUMANN

The ecdysteroid levels in hernolymph, ovary, synganglion and whole body of diapausing female Dermacentor niveus were detected by HPLC, and compared with the results of nondiapausing female. It is revealed that the ecdysteroid levels in hernolymph and ovary of diapausing female are similar basically to that of nondiapausing female in the first few days after engorgement. From the 10th day after engorgement, the ecdysteroid levels of diapausing female decreased and even became distinctly lower than that of nondiapausing female. The paucity of ecdysteroids in these individuals would influence the normal development of oocytes. In order to explore the effect of ecdyateroids on the diapausing female, we injected 20-hydroxyecdysone with different dosages at different time into the ticks, and found that after just complete engorgement the injection with large dosages (10000 and 1375 ng/tick) caused death of the ticks. From 10th to 20th day after engorgement the ecdysteroid levels of diapausing female are lower than that of nondiapausing one before oviposition, the injection with certain dosages 50,70 and 100 ng/tick) of 20E can accelerate vitellogenesis and terminate reproductive diapause, but the amount of eggs produced by them is less than that produced by nondiapausing female. The termination of diapause in female of ixodid tick by exogenous ecdysteroids is reported for the first time.
