Anopheles arabiensis (a member of the An. gambiae species complex) is a major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite its disease vector status, there is currently a paucity of epigenetic information for this species. The aim this study was therefore to analyze global epigenetic markers and their response to metal exposure in insecticide susceptible and resistant laboratory strains of An. arabiensis. This was done using com. available epigenetic marker quantification kits. In order to validate the efficacy of the kits, several kits were assessed to determine whether changes induced by known epigenetic modulators were detectable using these platforms. The efficacy of the dosages used were determined by examining the effect of the dosages used on insecticide resistant phenotypes. Upon confirmation that the dosages used were sufficient to induce a phenotypic change, the effect on epigenetic markers was assessed. Com. kits were used to quantify 5-methylcysteine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcysteine (5-hmC) methylation in DNA, m6A methylation in mRNA as well as Histone Acetyl Transferase (HAT) activity. There was a marked difference in the phenotypic response in adult mosquitoes of the insecticide susceptible strain compared to that of its’ resistant counterpart. For males and females of the resistant strain, exposure to nucleic acid modifying drugs typically increased their tolerance to insecticides. The patterns of changes in 5-mC methylation by epigenetic modulators was congruent with previous studies which quantified by mass spectrometry. The two strains differed in methylation patterns under control conditions and responded differentially to larval metal exposure. In the resistant strain, which previously was demonstrated to show increased detoxification enzyme activity and insecticide tolerance after the same treatment, the potential increase in transcriptional activity appeared to be modulated by reduced methylation and increased HAT activity. This study suggests that the com. epigenetic quantification kits can be used to characterize phenotypic changes in An. arabiensis, and also shows that epigenetic regulation of the response to metal exposure is regulated at the DNA as opposed to the RNA level.
