Abstract:      [Objectives]  To investigate the effects of sub-lethal doses of chlorpyrifos (organophosphate) on cytochrome P450 activity in Locusta migratoria. [Methods]  Three doses (LD10, LD30 and LD50) of chlorpyrifos were applied to specimens of L. migratoria and the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity of 7-EC-O-deethylation (ECOD) was measured and the mRNA levels of CYP409A1 and CYP408B1 were analyzed by Real-time RT-PCR after 24 h. [Results]  ECOD activity decreased by 0.50-0.68-fold after chlorpyrifos exposure and mRNA expression of CYP409A1 and CYP408B1 also decreased. Conclusion]  Chlorpyrifos can significantly inhibit cytochrome P450 enzyme activity by depressing the transcription of multiple cytochrome P450 genes.
