Genome-Wide Exploration of Long Non-Coding RNAs of <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i> in Response to Pyrethroid Insecticide Resistance

Genome-wide long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in low, moderate, and high pyrethroid insecticide-resistant and -susceptible strains of <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i> were identified in this study. Using 45 illumina-based RNA-sequencing datasets, 8394 lncRNAs were identified. In addition, a subl...

description Genome-wide long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in low, moderate, and high pyrethroid insecticide-resistant and -susceptible strains of <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i> were identified in this study. Using 45 illumina-based RNA-sequencing datasets, 8394 lncRNAs were identified. In addition, a sublethal dose of deltamethrin was administered to a Korean-resistant strain (Kor-T). The average length of lncRNAs was approximately 531 bp, and the expression ratio of lncRNAs was 28% of the total RNA. The identified lncRNAs were divided into six categories—intronic, intergenic, sense, antisense, cis-RNA, and trans-RNA—based on their location and mechanism of action. Intergenic and intronic lncRNA transcripts were the most abundant (38% and 33%, respectively). Further, 828 detoxification-related lncRNAs were selected using the Gene Ontology analysis. The cytochrome P450-related lncRNA expression levels were significantly higher in susceptible strains than in resistant strains. In contrast, cuticle protein-related lncRNA expression levels were significantly higher in all resistant strains than in susceptible strains. Our findings suggest that certain lncRNAs contribute to the downregulation of insecticide resistance-related P450 genes in susceptible strains, whereas other lncRNAs may be involved in the overexpression of cuticle protein genes, potentially affecting the pyrethroid resistance mechanism.
