神经递质3H-去甲肾上腺素释放与家蝇对拟除虫菊酯抗性的关系

在用K⁺去极化条件下,研究了溴氰菊酯和氯菊酯分别对敏感、抗溴氰菊酯和抗氯菊酯家蝇Musca domestica 品系脑突触体释放神经递质去甲肾上腺素的影响。结果表明：在用K⁺去极化后,神经递质去甲肾上腺素的释放在抗溴氰菊酯和抗氯菊酯家蝇品系中比敏感品系分别下降47.0%和51.0%;当用10^-5 mol/L溴氰菊酯预处理家蝇脑突触体,用K+去极化后对敏感、抗溴氰菊酯和抗氯菊酯家蝇品系释放去甲肾上腺素的加强作用分别提高80.3%、26.5%和70.5%;用10^-5 mol/L氯菊酯预处理3个家蝇品系的突触体对去甲肾上腺素释放均无加强作用。由此表明,家蝇对溴氰菊酯的抗性是与Na+通道的亲和性降低有关,而氯菊酯的抗性与Na+通道的亲和性关系不大。     

家蝇对DDT和拟除虫菊酯的重要抗性机制——中枢神经系统的不敏感性

本文以电生理技术研究了四个品系的家蝇Musca domestica vicina Macq.中枢神经系统(CNS)对DDT、二氯苯醚菊酯和澳氰菊酯的敏感性,结果表明:三种抗性家蝇,DDT高抗品系(DDT-R)、二氯苯醚菊酯高抗品系(2C1-R)和溴氰菊酯高抗品系(Dec-R)的中枢神经系统(CNS)对三种杀虫剂的敏感性与敏感家蝇相比均明显降低,而且,GNS的不敏感性随杀虫剂LD₅₀的升高有逐渐上升的趋势.我们认为,CNS不敏感性是家蝇对DDT相拟除虫菊酯产生抗性的一个重要机制,也是产生交互抗性的一个重要原因.

拟除虫菊酯对家蝇Na-K-ATPase抑制作用的研究

通过对家蝇神经系统Na-K-ATPase性质的研究,表明Na-K-ATPase反应的适宜pH值为7.0～8.0,适温为35～40℃,K_m为0.22 mmol/L,V_max为555.56 nmol/(mg·min)。比较测定了家蝇敏感品系、Del-R、2Cl-R抗性品系的Na-K-ATPase活性及溴氰菊酯和氯菊酯对该酶的抑制作用。实验证明,敏感与抗性品系间Na-K-ATPase活力无显著的差异,但溴氰菊酯和氯菊酯对不同家蝇品系Na-K-ATPase的抑制作用有明显区别,两种拟除虫菊酯可抑制敏感家蝇品系Na-K-ATPase的活性,而对抗性品系无明显的抑制作用。     

家蝇对拟除虫菊酯农药的抗性机制

本文对二氯苯醚菊酯和溴氰菊酯分别选择的高抗性家蝇(Musca domestica vicina)品系2Cl-R及Dec-R的抗性机制进行了研究.应用生物测定、增效剂,体内试验的表皮穿透作用、离体条件的解毒酶系活性的增加以及家蝇头部ATP酶活力的研究结果表明,两种拟除虫菊酯高抗性家蝇品系的表皮穿透性均比正常品系NP为慢,特别是Dec-R品系极慢.酯酶和多功能氧化酶及其末端的细胞色素P-450的活性在两个抗性品系中都比NP品系有不同程度的增高,但2Cl-R品系以氧化酶为主,而Dec-R品系似以酯酶占优势.Dec-R品系的Na⁺—K⁺-ATP酶活力低于NP品系的46%,而2Cl-R品系与NP品系相等.Mg²⁺-ATP酶活性在两个抗性品系中均高于正常品系.Mg²⁺-ATP酶可能也是拟除虫菊酯的一个重要靶标部位.     

拟除虫菊酯的结构与害虫抗药性的关系

以家蝇Musca domestica vicina L.为试虫,用汰选方法研究了家蝇对六种不同拟除虫菊酯的抗性发展.结果表明,家蝇对不同化学结构和不同光学异构体组分的拟除虫菊酯抗性差别很大.对溴氧菊酯、顺式氯氰菊酯抗性发展很快,氯氰菊酯次之,氰戊菊酯、氰戍菊酯A和氰戊菊酯A_σ抗性发展较慢.用抗溴氰菊酯家蝇品系和点滴法测定了十种拟除虫菊酯和七种有机磷杀虫剂的毒力,讨论了它们之间的交互抗性和结构与抗性的关系.溴氰菊酯(抗性比值24.00)、氯氰嫡酯(抗性比值20.11)、顺式氯氰菊酯(抗性比值38.10)和二氯苯醚菊酯(抗性比值11.04),结构相近的交互抗性比较严重.氰戊菊酯(抗性比值4.64)、氰戊菊酯A(抗性比值5.97)、戊菊酯(抗性比值4.49)和氟氰菊酯(抗性比值4.12)化学结构中醇部分与溴氰菊酯相同、酸部分不同,它们与溴氰菊酯交互抗性水平较低.联苯菊酯(抗性比值1.98)化学结构中酯和醇部分都与溴氰菊酯不同,其交互抗性水平较低,杀螟松等七种有机磷杀虫剂,除敌敌畏与溴氰菊酯有轻微交互坑性外,其它均无交互抗性.     

溴氰菊酯对不同品系家蝇脑突触体膜蛋白磷酸化及ATP酶活性的影响

以敏感品系家蝇和溴氰菊酯抗性品系家蝇(Musca domestica L.)为材料,研究和比较了神经毒剂溴氰菊酯对其脑突触体蛋白磷酸化作用的影响。结果表明,浓度为10^-5 mol/L溴氰菊酯抑制了敏感品系家蝇脑突触体蛋白磷酸化作用,而对抗性品系家蝇脑突触体蛋白磷酸化作用无明显影响。若反应体系中加入2.5×10^-6 mol/L的cAMP显著激活了敏感品系家蝇脑突触体蛋白磷酸化水平,但是当0.6 mmol/Lca²⁺或0.6 mmol/L Ca²⁺加10^-5 mol/L钙调蛋白时明显增强了抗性品系家蝇脑突触体蛋白磷酸化水平,甚至超过了其对敏感品系的作用水平。此外,还发现不同浓度的溴氰菊酯可抑制突触膜上的Na/K-ATP酶和Ca-ATP酶活力,浓度越高抑制作用也越大,并且敏感品系家蝇对溴氰菊酯的敏感度要高于抗性品系。     

有机磷对抗拟除虫菊酯家蝇的毒力

测定敏感、抗溴氰菊酯(Del-R)、抗氯菊酯(2Cl-R)的家蝇品系对有机磷杀虫剂敌敌畏、辛硫磷及马拉硫磷的LD₅₀,α-乙酸萘酯（α-NA）酯酶动力学,酯酶的活性和酯酶的抑制作用。Del-R和2Cl-R的家蝇品系对三种有机磷杀虫剂的抗性倍数为0.966～7.190倍,均为低抗水平。三个家蝇品系的羧酸酯酶活性水平与抑制中浓度存在正相关性,说明羧酸酯酶在抗拟除虫菊酯家蝇对有机磷杀虫剂的抗性中起一定的作用。     

不同杀虫剂选育对家蝇抗药性水平及kdr基因频率的影响

采用杀虫剂（溴氰菊酯和甲基嘧啶磷）筛选及不接触药物自然衰退的方法,研究了家蝇Musca domestica氯氟氰菊酯高抗品系(Cyh-R)对杀虫剂的抗性变化,探讨蝇类抗药性治理的方法。用点滴法测定氯氟氰菊酯对不同家蝇品系的毒力,比较抗药性的变化,结合特异性等位基因PCR扩增（PASA）技术检测了不同家蝇品系的kdr基因频率,探讨kdr基因频率与抗性水平之间的关系。结果表明:甲基嘧啶磷筛选后,氯氟氰菊酯对第2~8代Cyh-R品系的LD₅₀呈递减趋势,从F₀的2.8434 μg/蝇降为F₈的0.4404 μg/蝇,但第8~18代Cyh-R品系的LD₅₀呈逐代递增趋势;溴氰菊酯筛选后,氯氟氰菊酯对Cyh-R品系第2~16代的LD₅₀呈上升趋势,从F₀的2.8434 μg/蝇升至F₁₆的24.3249 μg/蝇;表明了施用有机磷杀虫剂可降低其对氯氟氰菊酯的抗药性,而施用拟除虫菊酯药剂则有助于其对氯氟氰菊酯抗药性的增长;不使用任何杀虫剂也能降低其对氯氟氰菊酯的抗药性,但下降速率低于甲基嘧啶磷。PASA技术检测表明Cyh-R品系的kdr抗性基因频率为88.8%,不经过任何药剂筛选其kdr抗性基因频率下降程度最大,达到69.7%;甲基嘧啶磷筛选后其结果降为78.8%,而经溴氰菊酯筛选后kdr抗性基因频率则明显升高,达到98.9%。通过对kdr抗性基因频率和抗性水平进行相关和回归分析表明kdr抗性基因频率与家蝇对氯氟氰菊酯的LD₅₀呈对数关系,即LD₅₀值高的品系其kdr抗性基因频率相应的也较高。建议在家蝇防治中考虑轮换用药。     

用溴氰菊酯选育抗敌百虫淡色库蚊的研究

将室内选育成功的抗敌百虫淡色库蚊Culex pipiens pallens Coq.品系(RD)分为二个分系,一个不再用敌百虫处理,称之为RD衰退品系(RD_139-x),34代后对敌百虫的敏感度增加了10倍,对溴氰菊酯的敏感度无显著变化.另一分系改用溴氰菊酯选育,命名为Rde品系,53代后对溴氰菊酯抗性达200倍左右,对敌百虫敏感度上升约10倍,对DDT的交互抗性高达118倍,对马拉硫磷、杀螟硫磷的敏感度与敏感品系(SEN,上海昆虫所保存)比较也有上升,呈负交互抗性现象.用高剂量溴氰菊酯处理幼虫、也证明Rde在20分钟内麻痹率比敏感品系低,可见抗性机制主要是抗击倒因子(Kdr).但增效醚(Pb)对溴氰菊酯明显增效,可见mfo酶也起重要作用,推测抗性为多因子遗传.     

Pyrethroid resistance mechanisms in the head louse Pediculus capitis from Israel: implications for control

In Israel, the head louse, Pediculus capitis, developed resistance to DDT through the extensive use of this insecticide until the 1980s. In 1991, permethrin was introduced for control of DDT resistant P. capitis in Israel, leading to control failure of this pyrethroid insecticide by 1994. Pyrethroid resistance of P. capitis in Israel extends to phenothrin, which has not been used for louse control. We identified a glutathione S-transferase(GST)-based mechanism of DDT resistance in the Israeli head lice. This GST mechanism occurred before 1989, while permethrin resistance in P. capitis developed after 1994, suggesting that the main GST resistance mechanism selected by DDT use does not confer any pyrethroid cross-resistance. Esterase activity levels were equivalent in pyrethroid resistant and susceptible P. capitis field-collected in Israel, and in a susceptible strain of P. humanus, the body louse, indicating no involvement of any esterase-based mechanism in resistance. A weak monooxygenase-based permethrin metabolism resistance mechanism was the only factor identified which could account for any of the observed pyrethroid resistance in P. capitis. However, the lack of synergism of phenothrin resistance by piperonyl butoxide suggests that a non-oxidative mechanism is also present in the resistant lice. Therefore it seems probable that pyrethroid resistance in Israeli P. capitis is due to a combination of nerve insensitivity (knockdown resistance or 'kdr') and monooxygenase resistance mechanisms.     

Location of a gene conferring DDT resistance but no pyrethroid cross-resistance in larvae of Anopheles stephensi

In larvae of Anopheles stephensi, DDT resistance of 30 to 40-fold, involving no cross-resistance to pyrethroids, showed fully dominant monofactorial inheritance. The gene, termed DDT, is located 36.6 cross-over units from the morphological mutant, black larvae (Bl), on chromosome III. A polygenic system, which confers a 17-fold reduction in susceptibility to knockdown by the pyrethroid, permethrin, also makes a minor contribution to DDT resistance. It was not possible to block DDT resistance with the dehydrochlorinase inhibitor DMC.     

拟除虫菊酯抗性家蝇的交互抗药性研究

拟除虫菊酯的广泛使用使家蝇普遍产生了抗药性,为有效的控制家蝇的危害,需要了解家蝇对轮换或新杀虫剂的交互抗性状况。作者用点滴法测定了两个实验室汰选的拟除虫菊酯抗性家蝇品系对几种杀虫剂的交互抗性,结果表明:二氯苯醚菊酯和溴氰菊酯之间存在较高程度的交互抗药性;拟除虫菊酯抗性较高的家蝇对作用机制不同的新农药(多杀菌素、氟虫腈)表现较低程度的交互抗性。     

The cytochrome P450 CYP6P4 is responsible for the high pyrethroid resistance in knockdown resistance-free Anopheles arabiensis

Pyrethroid insecticides are the front line vector control tools used in bed nets to reduce malaria transmission and its burden. However, resistance in major vectors such as Anopheles arabiensis is posing a serious challenge to the success of malaria control.Herein, we elucidated the molecular and biochemical basis of pyrethroid resistance in a knockdown resistance-free Anopheles arabiensis population from Chad, Central Africa. Using heterologous expression of P450s in Escherichia coli coupled with metabolism assays we established that the over-expressed P450 CYP6P4, located in the major pyrethroid resistance (rp1) quantitative trait locus (QTL), is responsible for resistance to Type I and Type II pyrethroid insecticides, with the exception of deltamethrin, in correlation with field resistance profile. However, CYP6P4 exhibited no metabolic activity towards non-pyrethroid insecticides, including DDT, bendiocarb, propoxur and malathion. Combining fluorescent probes inhibition assays with molecular docking simulation, we established that CYP6P4 can bind deltamethrin but cannot metabolise it. This is possibly due to steric hindrance because of the large vdW radius of bromine atoms of the dihalovinyl group of deltamethrin which docks into the heme catalytic centre.The establishment of CYP6P4 as a partial pyrethroid resistance gene explained the observed field resistance to permethrin, and its inability to metabolise deltamethrin probably explained the high mortality from deltamethrin exposure in the field populations of this Sudano-Sahelian An. arabiensis. These findings describe the heterogeneity in resistance towards insecticides, even from the same class, highlighting the need to thoroughly understand the molecular basis of resistance before implementing resistance management/control tools.     

Very high DDT-resistant population of Anopheles pharoensis Theobald (Diptera: Culicidae) from Gorgora, northern Ethiopia

Standard WHO insecticide bioassay tests were carried out in Gorgora, northern Ethiopia to evaluate the susceptibility status of Anopheles pharoensis Theobald for the insecticides DDT, malathion, permethrin and deltamethrin. The mortality and when appropriate knockdown effect of the insecticides were observed. The results indicated that this species was resistant to DDT. A high mortality was obtained after exposure to permethrin and deltamethrin but below 97 % which is the limit for susceptibility according to WHO. A prolonged knockdown time was noted for DDT and the two pyrethroids. An. phoaroensis was found to be susceptible to malathion.     

The genetic basis of pyrethroid and DDT resistance inter-relationships in Aedes aegypti II. Allelism of R DDT2 and R py

Two programmes of repeated backcrossing to a susceptible triple-mutant marker strain and a susceptible unmarked strain with selection for certain mutant phenotypes and with DDT, plus a third programme of repeated back crossing to the susceptible unmarked strain with permethrin selection were undertaken in an attempt to isolate the DDT-resistance genes, R ^DDT and R ^DDT2 , and the pyrethroid-resistance gene, R ^py . The three selected lines were then inbred and further selected with DDT or permethrin to make the isolated genes homozygous. The accumulated data from tests at various stages with permethrin, DDT and DDT plus the synergist FDMC, a blocker of dehydrochlorination, produced an apparently simple picture of the relationship between DDT and pyrethroid resistance in adult Aedes aegypti. Two major DDT resistance genes can be present; one, R ^DDT , located on chromosome II, controls the resistance mechanism dehydrochlorination and confers a level of DDT resistance 3–4 x higher than the other, but produces no cross-resistance to permethrin. R ^DDT2 , on chromosome III, is allelic to R ^py ; when isolated in a susceptible background it confers resistance to DDT of about 10–14 x and cross-resistance to permethrin of 18–21 x.     

Identification and Characterisation of Aedes aegypti Aldehyde Dehydrogenases Involved in Pyrethroid Metabolism

Background

Pyrethroid insecticides, especially permethrin and deltamethrin, have been used extensively worldwide for mosquito control. However, insecticide resistance can spread through a population very rapidly under strong selection pressure from insecticide use. The upregulation of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) has been reported upon pyrethroid treatment. In Aedes aegypti, the increase in ALDH activity against the hydrolytic product of pyrethroid has been observed in DDT/permethrin-resistant strains. The objective of this study was to identify the role of individual ALDHs involved in pyrethroid metabolism.

Methodology/Principal Findings

Three ALDHs were identified; two of these, ALDH9948 and ALDH14080, were upregulated in terms of both mRNA and protein levels in a DDT/pyrethroid-resistant strain of Ae. aegypti. Recombinant ALDH9948 and ALDH14080 exhibited oxidase activities to catalyse the oxidation of a permethrin intermediate, phenoxybenzyl aldehyde (PBald), to phenoxybenzoic acid (PBacid).

Conclusions/Significance

ALDHs have been identified in association with permethrin resistance in Ae. aegypti. Characterisation of recombinant ALDHs confirmed the role of this protein in pyrethroid metabolism. Understanding the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance provides information for improving vector control strategies.
