“…In the past few decades, H. cunea has spread from North America to many countries in Asia, Europe, and the Americas through anthropogenic activities. Owing to the characteristics of H. cunea , such as miscellaneous food habits, high reproduction, and fast transmission, grave economic losses to agroforestry production in the areas of an outbreak have occurred [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The crops and forest plants that the larvae of H. cunea often feed on include hickory, pecan, walnut, elm, alder, willow, mulberry, oak, sweetgum, and poplar [ 27 ].…”

To increase the development potential of botanical pesticides, it is necessary to expand the toxicology research on plant secondary metabolites. Herein, the Hyphantria cunea larvae were exposed to tannic acid concentrations consistent with those found in larch needles, and, subsequently, the growth and nutrient utilization, oxidative damage, and detoxification abilities in the larval midgut, as well as the changes in the gut microbiome, were analyzed. Our results revealed that tannic acid treatment significantly increased the mortality of H. cunea larvae and inhibited larval growth and food utilization. The contents of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide in the larval midgut were significantly elevated in the treatment group, along with a significant decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and detoxifying enzymes. However, the non-enzymatic antioxidants showed a significant increase in the tannic acid-treated larvae. From gut microbiome analysis in the treatment group, the abundance of gut microbiota related to toxin degradation and nutrient metabolism was significantly reduced, and the enrichment analysis also suggested that all pathways related to nutritional and detoxification metabolism were substantially inhibited. Taken together, tannic acid exerts toxic effects on H. cunea larvae at multiple levels and is a potential botanical pesticide for the control of H. cunea larvae.

“…cunea larvae were obtained from Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province. The rearing area was maintained at 25 ± 1 • C, 16:8 h (L:D) photoperiod, and 70-80% relative humidity in nylon cages, and the larvae were fed artificial diets [20]. The diets were obtained from the Chinese Academy of Forestry (Beijing, China).…”

Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is an invasive alien species that is widely distributed in northern China. H. cunea now occurs for the first time in the subtropical areas of China. Despite the importance of identifying oviposition host plants to control the spread of H. cunea, it is not clear whether H. cunea has a new oviposition preference for plant hosts in the new habitat after invading the subtropical region. At the same time, whether the presence of new plant volatiles of new hosts in new habitats influences the oviposition host preference of H. cunea has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the oviposition host plant preferences of H. cunea in the subtropical region of China. In the presence of multiple potential host plants, we found, for the first time, that H. cunea preferred Carya illinoinensis, Morus alba, and Carya cathayensis for oviposition. Through the effects on plant volatiles and on the oviposition, ten volatile compounds with significant differences in relative abundance between five plants with different fitness levels were significantly correlated with the oviposition preference of females. Cis-Hex-3-en-1-ol, (E)-3-Hexen-1-ol, cis-3-Hexenyl acetate 1, and 3-Pentadiene,4-methyl, had a significant positive correlation with the adult oviposition preference. Our results provide an important research basis for the study of green prevention and control strategies of subtropical H. cunea in China.

“…Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) is a polyphenolic compound that is commonly found in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants. It acts as an antioxidant and exhibits antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, making it a widely used natural remedy [8]. More importantly, numerous studies have suggested its beneficial effects in inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis in various cancer types [9,10].…”

The acidic tumor environment has emerged as a crucial factor influencing the metastatic potential of cancer. We investigated the effect of an acidic environment on the acquisition of metastatic properties in MCF7 breast cancer cells and explored the inhibitory effects of gallic acid. Prolonged exposure to acidic culture conditions (over 12 weeks at pH 6.4) induced the acquisition of migratory and invasive properties in MCF7 cells, accompanied by increased expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 and 9 (MMP2 and MMP9, respectively), together with alterations in E-cadherin, vimentin, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition markers. Gallic acid effectively inhibited the survival of acidity-adapted MCF7 (MCF7-6.4/12w) cells at high concentrations (>30 μM) and reduced metastatic characteristics induced by acidic conditions at low concentration ranges (5–20 μM). Moreover, gallic acid suppressed the PI3K/Akt pathway and the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin, which were elevated in MCF7-6.4/12w cells. These findings highlight the potential of gallic acid as a promising therapeutic agent for metastatic traits in breast cancer cells under acidic conditions.
