ABSTRACT
Insecticide resistance is a multifaceted response and an issue across taxa. Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that vectors Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever, demonstrates high levels of pyrethroid resistance across the globe, presenting a challenge to public health officials. To examine the transcriptomic shifts across time after exposure to permethrin, a 3'Tag-Seq analysis was employed on samples 6, 10, and 24 h after exposure along with controls. Differential expression analysis revealed significant shifts in detoxifying enzymes and various energy-producing metabolic processes. These findings indicate significant alterations in gene expression associated with key energy mobilization pathways within the system. These changes encompass a coordinated response involving lipolysis, beta-oxidation, and the citric acid cycle, required for the production of energetic molecules such as ATP, NADH, NADPH, and FADH. These findings highlight a complex interplay of metabolic processes that may have broader implications for understanding insect physiology and response to environmental stimuli. Among the upregulated detoxifying enzymes are cytochrome P450s, glutathione s-transferases and peroxidases, and ATP-binding cassette transporters. Additionally, eight heat shock genes or genes with heat shock domains exhibit the highest fold change across time. Twenty-four hours after exposure, samples indicate a global downregulation of these processes, though principal component analysis suggests lasting signatures of the response. Understanding the recovery response to insecticide exposure provides information on possible new genetic and synergist targets to explore.
