Polypedilum Kieffer (Diptera: Chironomidae), with 520 currently known species worldwide, can be extremely difficult to identify level based on the morphology. We used 3,670 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcodes explore efficiency of COI differentiate between in a superdiverse aquatic insect genus. The Barcode Life Data System (BOLD) presented 286 BIN clusters , representing 163 morphospecies, which 93 were contributed from our laboratory. Molecular operational taxonomic units (OTUs)...
For over a decade, DNA barcoding has proven an effective modern tool in taxonomy, evolutionary biology and biodiversity research. Many new species have been discovered described with barcodes as part of their diagnostic features. Using barcodes, we uncovered number potential within the Tanytarsus curticornis heusdensis complexes (Diptera: Chironomidae) detected morphological differences posteriori that support description species. Unusually large intraspecific divergence COI p -distance (up...
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an efficient drug used in cancer therapy; however, it can induce severe cytotoxicity, which limits its clinical application. In the present study, effects of resveratrol (RES) on sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activation mediating DOX-induced cytotoxicity H9c2 cardiac cells was investigated. were exposed to 5 µM DOX for 24 h establish a model cardiotoxicity. Apoptosis cardiomyocytes assessed using MTT assay and Hoechst nuclear staining. The results demonstrated that pretreating with...
Tanypodinae, a highly diverse subfamily within Chironomidae (Diptera), has been poorly represented in mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) databases, with only limited number of complete or partial sequences available. To address this gap, we present the first mitogenome 16 Tanypodinae species and 1 Podonominae species. By integrating these novel data previously published chironomid mitogenomes, conducted comprehensive comparative mitogenomic analysis 21 Our results reveal that mitogenomes...
Glyptotendipes pallens (Meigen, 1804) serves as a significant bioindicator for monitoring freshwater ecosystems. Despite the performance of COI barcode analyses on G. pallens, mitogenome this taxon remains unassembled and unanalyzed. In study, we provide one newly sequenced complete first time. The is 16,063 bp long with high A + T content, consists 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA two rRNA noncoding control region. phylogenetic analysis strongly supports tokunagai sister species.
The genus Rheotanytarsus Thienemann & Bause, 1913 (Diptera: Chironomidae) currently includes more than 120 recognized species worldwide, but precise species-level identification based solely on morphology remains challenging. Pronounced morphological differences among life stages and the time-consuming inefficiency of rearing larvae further complicate life-stage matching in this genus. In study, we assessed diversity by integrating examination DNA barcoding, analyzing 911 barcodes from...
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an efficient drug used in cancer therapy; however, it has severe cardiotoxic side effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate effects resveratrol on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/P53 pathway mediating DOX-induced cytotoxicity. H9c2 cells were exposed 5 µM DOX for 24 h establish a model cardiotoxicity. administration amplified P53 and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated X (Bax) expression decreased Bcl-2 cells. Resveratrol increased...
The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signaling pathway results in cancer cell scattering and invasion, has been reported to participate several types of cancer, including prostate colorectal cancer. downstream phosphorylation cascade HGF, particularly the mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT pathway, regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, mechanism by which these pathways govern EMT, whether certain kinases are able respond specific EMT...
Mitogenomes have been widely used for phylogenetic reconstruction of various Dipteran groups, but specifically chironomid, they not carried out to resolve the relationships. Diamesinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) are important bioindicators freshwater ecosystem monitoring, its evolutionary history remains uncertain lack information. Here, coupled with one previously published and 30 new mitogenomes Diamesinae, we comparative mitogenomic analysis analysis. were conserved in structure, all genes...
Mitochondrial genomics, as a useful marker for phylogenetics and systematics of organisms, are important molecular biology studies. The phylogenetic relationships the Polypedilum generic complex remains controversial, due to lack taxonomy information. In this study, we newly sequenced mitogenomes 14 species complex. Coupled with three recently published sequences, analyzed nucleotide composition, sequence length, evolutionary rate control region showed highest AT content. evolution protein...
Background The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been extensively used for phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis in Diptera, but the study of mitogenome is still scarce family Chironomidae. Methods Here, first complete genomes four Chironomid species representing Diamesinae, Orthocladiinae, Prodiamesinae Tanypodinae are presented. Coupled with published mitogenomes two, a comparative genomic between six subfamilies Chironomidae was carried out. Results Mitogenomes conserved structure,...
(1) Background: Gene rearrangement of mitochondrial genome, especially those with phylogenetic signals, has long fascinated evolutionary biologists. The synapomorphic gene rearrangements have been identified across multiple orders and at many different taxonomic levels, supporting the monophyletic or systematic relationships related lineages. However, never observed in non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae); (2) methods: this study, complete mitogenomes seven Stenochironomus species were...
Abstract Tanytarsus van der Wulp, with 355 currently known valid species, is a comparatively large genus of nonbiting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae). Relationships among and associated genera species in the have been exceptionally difficult to resolve using morphology or single gene genealogies. Here, phylogeny sensu lato reconstructed based on combined analysis five nuclear markers, including both ribosomal (18S) protein‐coding (AATS1, CAD, PGD TPI) genes. Our results indicate that...
Abstract Evolutionary analysis of Prodiamesinae has long been impeded by lack information, and its phylogenetic relationship with Orthocladiinae remains questionable. Here, ten complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) sensu lato were newly sequenced, including three species seven species. Coupled published mitogenomes, a total 12 mitogenomes selected for comparative mitogenomic reconstruction. Mitogenomes are conserved in structure, all genes arrange the same gene order as ancestral...
