Establishment of a New Cell Line from Lepidopteran Epidermis and Hormonal Regulation on the Genes Hong-Lian Shao, Wei-Wei Zheng, Peng-Cheng Liu, Qian Wang, Jin-Xing Wang, Xiao-Fan Zhao* School of Life Sciences, Shandong University, Jinan, China Abstract When an insect molts, old cuticle on the outside of the integument is shed by apolysis and a new cuticle is formed under the old one. This process is completed by the epidermal cells which are controlled by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and juvenile hormone. To understand the molecular mechanisms of
