PG - 105560 LID - S0048-3575(23)00225-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105560 [doi] AB - Fructose 1, 6-diphosphate (FDP) is an endogenous intermediate in the glycolytic pathway, as well as an allosteric activator of phosphofructokinase (PFK). Based on the role in promoting glycolysis, FDP has been widely used as a therapeutic agent for mitigating the damage of endotoxemia and ischemia/reperfusion in clinical practice. However, the effect of exogenous FDP-induced glycolysis activation on insect carbohydrate metabolism and chitin synthesis remains largely unclear. Here, we investigated for the first time the effects of FDP-Na, an allosteric activator of PFK, on the growth and development of Hyphantria cunea larvae, a serious defoliator in agriculture and forestry, especially on glycolysis and chitin synthesis. The results showed that FDP-Na significantly restrained the growth and development of H. cunea larvae and resulted in larval lethality. After treatment with FDP-Na, hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) were significantly activated, and HcHK2, HcPFK, HcPK were dramatically upregulated, which suggested that FDP-Na enhanced glycolysis in H. cunea larvae. Meanwhile, FDP-Na also distinctly impacted chitin biosynthesis by disturbing transcriptions of genes in the chitin synthesis pathway, resulting in changes of chitin contents in the midgut and epidermis of H. cunea larvae. Therefore, we considered that FDP-Na caused the growth and development arrest, and impacted chitin biosynthesis, probably by disturbing in vivo glycolysis and carbohydrate metabolism in H. cunea larvae. The findings provide a new perspective on the mechanism by which glycolysis regulates insect growth and development, and lay the foundation for exploring the potential application of glycolysis activators in pest control as well.
