RNA-Seq Comparison of Larval and Adult Malpighian Tubules of the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti Reveals Life Stage-Specific Changes in Renal Function
Introduction: The life history of Aedes aegypti presents diverse challenges to its diuretic system. During the larval and pupal life stages mosquitoes are aquatic. With the emergence of the adult they become terrestrial. This shifts the organism within minutes from an aquatic environment to a terrestrial environment where dehydration has to be avoided. In addition, female mosquitoes take large ...
متن کاملMalpighian Tubules as Novel Targets for Mosquito Control
The Malpighian tubules and hindgut are the renal excretory tissues of mosquitoes; they are essential to maintaining hemolymph water and solute homeostasis. Moreover, they make important contributions to detoxifying metabolic wastes and xenobiotics in the hemolymph. We have focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of Malpighian tubule function in adult female mosquitoes and developing che...
متن کاملWe have studied Malpighian tubules of Aedes aegypti using a variety of methods: Ramsay fluid secretion assay, electron probe analysis of secreted fluid, in vitro
has learned about the mechanism and regulation of secretory transport in Malpighian tubules of the yellow fever mosquito. After a brief review of insect salt and water balance, the emphasis shifts to the mechanism of action of two families of diuretic hormones, the CRF-like diuretic peptides and the kinins. To appreciate how the function of Malpighian tubules is integrated in the diverse activi...
متن کاملThe Aquaporin Gene Family of the Yellow Fever Mosquito, Aedes aegypti
BACKGROUND The mosquito, Aedes aegypti, is the principal vector of the Dengue and yellow fever viruses. During feeding, an adult female can take up more than its own body weight in vertebrate blood. After a blood meal females excrete large amounts of urine through their excretion system, the Malpighian tubules (MT). Diuresis starts within seconds after the mosquito starts feeding. Aquaporins (A...
متن کاملThe V-type H(+)-ATPase in Malpighian tubules of Aedes aegypti: localization and activity.
The V-type H(+)-ATPase is thought to provide the driving force for transepithelial electrolyte and fluid secretion in Malpighian tubules. To confirm the presence of this proton pump in Malpighian tubules of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti, we used several antibodies raised against the V-type H(+)-ATPase of Manduca sexta. Western blot analysis confirmed the presence of the V-type H(+)-AT...
