The MicroRNA pathway regulates obligatory aestivation in a flea beetle


ABSTRACT: Aestivation is a dormant state that allows animals to withstand hot and dry summer conditions and requires complex gene regulation. Nevertheless, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of genes necessary for aestivation remain unclear. MicroRNA (miRNA) are known to fine-tune gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are important for various biological processes. In this study, we investigated the role of the miRNA pathway in the regulation of the obligatory aestivation stage in the cabbage stem flea beetle, a major pest of oilseed rape. Small RNA sequencing showed that ∼25% of miRNAs were differentially abundant during aestivation. The inhibition of the miRNA pathway deregulated 116 proteins in aestivation, which were mainly associated with metabolism and catabolism, including peroxisome activity. Most proteins regulated by miRNA exhibited lower transcript levels during aestivation. RNA degradome sequencing confirmed the miRNA-mediated exonucleolytic decay of several transcripts. Furthermore, inhibiting the miRNA pathway resulted in altered body composition, compromised metabolic suppression, and lower resilience to high temperature during aestivation. Also, beetles could not suppress their feeding activity during the transition into aestivation. Our findings highlight the critical role of miRNA in regulating aestivation in the cabbage stem flea beetle, with important implications for climate change.
