Juvenile hormone regulates body size and perturbs insulin signaling in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2014 The role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating the timing and nature of insect molts is well-established. Increasing evidence suggests that JH is also involved in regulating final insect size.

Nature Communications, 2017 InDrosophila, ecdysone-regulated genes are bound by a heterodimer of ecdysone receptor (EcR) and Ultraspiracle. Here, the authors provide evidence of a non-canonical complex containing EcR and the nucleosome remodeller dMi-2 that limits transcription of ...

Steroid Hormone Signaling Is Essential to Regulate Innate Immune Cells and Fight Bacterial Infection in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2013 Coupling immunity and development is essential to ensure survival despite changing internal conditions in the organism. Drosophila metamorphosis represents a striking example of drastic and systemic physiological changes that need to be integrated with ...

Ecdysone-Related Biomarkers of Toxicity in the Model Organism Chironomus riparius: Stage and Sex-Dependent Variations in Gene Expression Profiles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Despite being considered a model organism in toxicity studies, particularly in assessing the environmental impact of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and other chemicals, the molecular basis of development is largely unknown in Chironomus riparius ...

Ecdysone Elicits Chronic Renal Impairment via Mineralocorticoid-Like Pathogenic Activities
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Background/Aims: Ecdysteroids are steroidal insect molting hormones that also exist in herbs. Ecdysteroid-containing adaptogens have been popularly used to improve well-being and by bodybuilders for muscle growth.

Penaeid shrimp genome provides insights into benthic adaptation and frequent molting [PDF]
, 2019 Crustacea, the subphylum of Arthropoda which dominates the aquatic environment, is of major importance in ecology and fisheries. Here we report the genome sequence of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, covering similar to 1.66 Gb (scaffold ...

Rapid Assessment of Insect Steroid Hormone Entry Into Cultured Cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Steroid hormones control development and homeostasis in a wide variety of animals by interacting with intracellular nuclear receptors. Recent discoveries in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster revealed that insect steroid hormones or ecdysteroids are ...

Mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of ecdysone response
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 The mechanisms of ecdysone-dependent expression have been studied for many decades. Initially, the activation of individual genes under the influence of ecdysone was studied on the model of polythene chromosomes from salivary glands of Drosophila ...
