Ecdysteroid-dependent protein synthesis in caste-specific development of the larval honey bee ovary.

Roux's archives of developmental biology : the official organ of the EDBO

Hartfelder K, Köstlin K, Hepperle C.
PMID: 28306067
Rouxs Arch Dev Biol. 1995 Sep;205(1):73-80. doi: 10.1007/BF00188845.

In the honey bee, Apis mellifera, the fifth larval instar is a critical period for caste differentiation. During this premetamorphic phase the hormonal milieu shows pronounced caste differences and several organs, particularly the ovaries, enter different developmental pathways leading...

Phytoecdysteroids from Lamium spp: identification and distribution within plants.

Biochemical systematics and ecology

Savchenko T, Blackford M, Sarker SD, Dinan L.
PMID: 11445290
Biochem Syst Ecol. 2001 Oct;29(9):891-900. doi: 10.1016/s0305-1978(01)00035-7.

Bioassay/radioimmunoassay (RIA) analysis of the seeds of four Lamium species, L. album, L. galeobdolon, L. maculatum and L. pupureum revealed the presence of phytoecdysteroids in all of them. Bioassay/RIA-guided and photo-diode array-monitored HPLC analysis of the aerial parts of...

Growth-promoting effects of ecdysteroids and juvenile hormone on in vitro development of the larval endoparasitoid, Venturia canescens (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae).

Journal of insect physiology

Nakahara Y, Hiraoka T, Iwabuchi K.
PMID: 12770211
J Insect Physiol. 2000 Apr;46(4):467-476. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(99)00133-x.

We previously reported that lipophorin, fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) are essential for the development of the larval endoparasitoid Venturia canescens larvae in vitro. The present study was undertaken to determine the optimal concentrations of those three...

Localization of the mosquito insulin receptor homolog (MIR) in reproducing yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti).

Journal of insect physiology

Helbling P, Graf R.
PMID: 12770311
J Insect Physiol. 1998 Dec;44(12):1127-1135. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(97)00039-5.

The female mosquito takes a blood meal to produce a batch of eggs. Initiation of egg maturation and growth of oocytes is governed by several endocrine factors. Peptide factors from the brain are involved in this process and some...

Ecdysteroid release by the prothoracic gland of Gryllus bimaculatus (Ensifera: Gryllidae) during larval-adult development.

Journal of insect physiology

Hoffmann KH, Lorenz MW, Oeh U.
PMID: 12770430
J Insect Physiol. 1998 Oct;44(10):941-946. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(98)00057-2.

The in vitro secretion of ecdysteroids from the prothoracic glands of larvae of Gryllus bimaculatus was analysed by HPLC-RIA. The primary product was identified as 3-dehydroecdysone (65-93%), with lesser amounts of ecdysone (7-35%). Production and release of ecdysteroids from...

Cycling of ecdysteroid levels in adult female stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans in relation to blood feeding.

Journal of insect physiology

Chen AC, Kelly TJ.
PMID: 12770457
J Insect Physiol. 1997 Aug;43(8):789-794. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(97)00031-0.

The effect of blood-feeding on total and specific immunoreactive ecdysteroids in Stomoxys calcitrans adult females was examined following the fourth and fifth blood meals when total whole body and hemolymph ecdysteroids showed a dramatic increase in the titer. In...

Evidence for the presence of makisterone A in Drosophila larvae and the secretion of 20-deoxymakisterone A by the ring gland.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Redfern CP.
PMID: 16593512
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1984 Sep;81(18):5643-7. doi: 10.1073/pnas.81.18.5643.

Ring glands or brain-ring gland complexes from third-instar Drosophila melanogaster larvae secreted ecdysone [(22R)-2beta,3beta,14alpha,22,25-pentahydroxy-5beta-cholest-7-en-6-one] and two less polar ecdysteroids (LP1 and LP2) in vitro. Radioimmunoassay with different antisera indicated that LP1 and LP2 are side-chain-modified analogues of ecdysone. In...

Ecdysteroid responses of estuarine crustaceans exposed through complete larval development to juvenile hormone agonist insecticides.

Integrative and comparative biology

Tuberty SR, McKenney CL.
PMID: 21676751
Integr Comp Biol. 2005 Jan;45(1):106-17. doi: 10.1093/icb/45.1.106.

Fenoxycarb and pyriproxyfen are insecticides that gain their toxicity by specifically acting as insect juvenile hormone agonists (JHA), and so are endocrine disruptors by design and effectively prevent larvae from maturing into adults. Efforts to assess the environmental effects...

Sex and stripping: The key to the intimate relationship between Wolbachia and host?.

Communicative & integrative biology

Negri I, Pellecchia M, Grève P, Daffonchio D, Bandi C, Alma A.
PMID: 20585501
Commun Integr Biol. 2010 Mar;3(2):110-5. doi: 10.4161/cib.3.2.10520.

Wolbachia pipientis is known to infect only arthropods and nematodes (mainly filarial worms). A unique feature shared by the two Phyla is the ability to replace the exoskeleton, a process known as ecdysis. This shared characteristic is thought to...

The regulation of phenotypic plasticity of eyespots in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana.

The American naturalist

Brakefield PM, Kesbeke F, Koch PB.
PMID: 18811432
Am Nat. 1998 Dec;152(6):853-60. doi: 10.1086/286213.

We use an outcrossed stock and selected lines of Bicyclus anynana in combination with measurements and manipulations of ecdysteroid hormones in early pupae to examine the regulation of eyespot size in adult butterflies. The eyespots on the ventral wing...

Ecdysteroid Content and Therapeutic Activity in Elicited Spinach Accessions.

Plants (Basel, Switzerland)

Gorelick J, Iraqi RH, Bernstein N.
PMID: 32526841
Plants (Basel). 2020 Jun 09;9(6). doi: 10.3390/plants9060727.

While spinach is an established nutritionally important crop, its medicinal value is not as well known. Spinach is rich in ecdysteroids, insect hormone analogs with a number of medicinal properties including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and even anabolic activity. However, the...

Ecdysteroids cause salivary gland degeneration in female ixodid ticks. We tested the effects of the following compounds on salivary gland degeneration in the ixodid tick Amblyomma hebraeum Koch: HHCS (22S,23S-homocastasterone), SSBR (22S,23S-homobrassinolide), STGM (2alpha,3alpha(OH)2-Delta22-stigmasten-6-one), RH 5849, and RH 5992....
