Circadian transcription factors differentially regulate features of the adult overwintering diapause in the Northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens.

Abstract:

:The short days of late summer and early fall are the environmental cues that most temperate insects and other animals use to predict winter's arrival. Although it is still unclear precisely how insects measure daylength, there is mounting evidence that the circadian clock regulates seasonal responses including photoperiodic diapause. Females of the Northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens, enter an adult reproductive diapause in response to short daylengths. While in this state, females divert their resources from reproduction to survival, arresting egg follicle development and increasing fat content. Here, we characterized the expression profile of two circadian transcription factors, vrille (vri) and Par domain protein 1 (Pdp1), as well as genes downstream of the clock, takeout (to) and Nocturnin (Noc) and under different seasonal conditions. We saw that while vri mRNA oscillated under both long day and short day conditions, Pdp1 expression oscillated only under long day conditions and was constitutively upregulated in diapausing females. We saw similar expression profiles for to and Noc, suggesting that PDP1 might regulate their expression or that Pdp1, to and Noc might be regulated by the same transcription factor. We suppressed vri and Pdp1 using RNA interference. dsRNA against vri provided inconsistent results, sometimes stimulating autogenous egg follicle development in both long and short day-reared females, and other times had no effect. In contrast, knocking down Pdp1 prevented short day-reared females from accumulating fat reserves, but increased expression of to and Noc. Taken together, these data suggest that the circadian transcription factors Vri and Pdp1 may independently regulate signaling pathways underlying arrested egg follicle development and fat accumulation in diapausing females of Cx. pipiens.
