Abstract

Abstract We investigated the expression of 4 cytochrome P450 genes (CYP4G19, CYP6J1, CYP6K1, and CYP4C21) in 4 field-collected strains (WM, RG386, CDR, and Ryan) of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), collected from California. The UCR susceptible strain was used as a comparison. Topical assays using a diagnostic dose (3× LD95) of deltamethrin revealed decreased sensitivity in all field-collected strains with mortality ranging from 0% to 58%, and the addition of PBO before deltamethrin treatment increased mortality to 52.5%–87.5%. Using qPCR to investigate the expression levels of CYP4G19, CYP4C21, CYP6J1, and CYP6K1, we found that only CYP6K1 was significantly overexpressed (2.1–5.8× higher) in all field-collected strains when compared to the UCR strain. Next, we investigated the role of the CYP6K1 gene by performing gene knockdown using RNAi. After dsCYP6K1 treatment, the expression levels of CYP6K1 in WM and Ryan strains were significantly reduced (P < 0.01) by 91%–94% vs. those treated with dsEGFP (control) on the third and sixth day posttreatment. RG386, CDR, and Ryan strains were more susceptible compared to their respective controls to topically applied deltamethrin 6 days after treatment with dsCYP6K1. This study provides evidence of the involvement of the P450 CYP6K1 gene in pyrethroid resistance in some populations of German cockroaches.
