Comparative transcriptomic responses to compatible and incompatible plant-virus interactions that lead to cell death

ABSTRACT: Hypersensitive response-related programmed cell death (PCD) has been extensively analyzed in various plant–virus interactions. However, little is known about changes in gene expression associated with cell death caused by compatible viruses. The synergistic interaction of Potato virus X (PVX) with Plum pox virus (PPV) results in increased symptoms that lead to systemic necrosis (SN) in Nicotiana benthamiana. Here, we performed three transcriptome comparisons in response to i) a PVX recombinant virus expressing the helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) gene from PPV that leads to SN, ii) a systemic incompatible interaction conferred by the Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-resistance gene N (SHR), and iii) the depletion of the PBE subunit of the proteasome that leads to PCD by virus induced gene silencing (VIGS Prot), at early and late stages of infection. Our analysis indicated that the SN response was clustered with SHR by the similarity of their overall gene expression profiles. However, the expression profiles of defence-related and hormone-responsive genes in response to SN were more closely related to the response to VIGS Prot than to that elicited by SHR. This suggests the potential contribution of proteasome dysfunction to the increase in pathogenicity observed in PVX-potyvirus infections We compare the gene expression profiles of Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with either necrosis-inducing viruses or non-necrosis-inducing viruses, as follow: PVX/HCWT-infected plants versus plants infected with a PVX recombinant virus expressing a PPV HC-Pro mutant (PVX/HCLH) that was unable to induce the SN response (SN comparison), at 7 and 11 days postinoculation (dpi), (ii) TRV:NbPBE-silenced plants versus plants infected with the TRV empty vector (VIGS Prot comparison), at 4 and 8 days after infiltration (dpa), and (iii) TMV-GFP-infected, N-transgenic plants versus wild-type plants infected with TMV-GFP (SHR comparison), at 24 and 72 hours after temperature shift (hts). Per time and treatment, three independent biological replicates were used to monitor differences in gene expression between treatments

Project description:Action of alcohol on synaptic mRNA in the amygdala of mice Chronic alcohol consumption induces changes in gene expression, causing persistent long-term neuro-adaptations and the remodeling of synaptic structures. These alcohol-induced synaptic changes may rely specifically on the local translation of mRNAs in the synaptic compartments of the cell. We profiled the transcriptome from synaptoneurosomes (SN) and paired total homogenates (TH) of amygdala to analyze the synaptic adaptations induced by chronic voluntary alcohol consumption in mice. In the SN both the number of alcohol-responsive mRNAs and the magnitude of fold-change were greater than in the TH. Accordingly, the SN detected many genes with coordinated patterns of expression producing a highly connected mRNA network in gene co-expression analysis. The greater sensitivity of the SN preparation allowed for improved cell-type specificity analysis, revealing an up-regulation of alcohol-responsive astrocytic and microglial modules that correlated with alcohol consumption. Alcohol was found to induce changes in the SN functionally important biological pathways, including long-term potentiation, long-term potentiation depression, glutamate pathway, neuro-immune, RNA-processing and translational machineries and provided overlap with changes seen in human alcoholic brain. Transposable elements were responsive to alcohol and found in the down-regulated neuronal mRNA module, which may underlie some of the coordinated gene expression changes associated with alcohol. We provide evidence that enrichment of synaptic components reveals a more intricate network of coordinated gene expression. Increased resolution captures the molecular effects of synaptic manipulations and provides an improved technique for identifying therapeutic targets for alcohol abuse. Synaptoneurosomes (SN) and Paired total homogenates (TH) were prepared from the same homogenate. 42 microarrays were used in total for the alcohol-control analysis (8 alcohol treated mice and 13 controls), 21 SN and 21 paired TH. 2 TH (control) samples were found outliers and were removed from the analysis. For the SN vs. TH analysis, the 2 TH samples found outliers were removed with the 2 paired SN samples.

Project description:Many virus diseases of economic importance to agriculture result from mixtures of different pathogens invading the host at a given time. This contrasts with the relatively scarce studies available on the molecular events associated with virus-host interactions in mixed infections. In comparison to single infections, co-infection of Nicotiana benthamiana with Potato virus X (PVX) and Potato virus Y (PVY) resulted in increased systemic symptoms (synergism) that led to necrosis of the newly emerging leaves, and the plant death. A comparative transcriptional analysis was undertaken to identify quantitative and qualitative differences in gene expression during this synergistic infection, and to correlate these changes with the severe symptoms it caused. Global transcription profiles of doubly-infected leaves were compared with those from singly-infected leaves using gene ontology enrichment analysis and metabolic pathway annotator software. Functional gene categories altered by the double infection comprise suites of genes regulated coordinately, which are associated with chloroplast functions (down-regulated), protein synthesis and degradation (up-regulated), carbohydrate metabolism (up-regulated), and response to biotic stimulus and stress (up-regulated). The expression of reactive oxygen species-generating enzymes as well as several mitogen-activated protein kinases, were also significantly induced. Accordingly, synergistic infection induced a severe oxidative stress in N. benthamiana leaves, as judged by increases in lipid peroxidation, and by the generation of superoxide radicals in chloroplasts, which correlated with the misregulation of antioxidative genes in microarray data. Interestingly, expression of genes encoding oxylipin biosynthesis was uniquely up-regulated by the synergistic infection. Virus-induced gene silencing of alfa-dioxygenase1 delayed cell death during PVX-PVY infection. Using mock inoculated leaf tissue as a reference, we compare the gene expression profiles of Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with one of two viruses, Potato virus X (PVX) or Potato virus Y (PVY), or the combination PVX plus PVY. 3 biological replicates per treatment were independently grown and haversted.

Project description:We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites salicylic acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip) in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis thaliana induced by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. To characterize the transcriptional SAR response, we used wild-type Col-0 plants, SA-deficient sid2 plants and Pip-deficient ald1 plants and performed RNA-sequencing analyses (Bernsdorff et al., Plant Cell, 2016). SAR establishment in the wild-type is characterized by a strong transcriptional response systemically induced in the foliage that prepares plants for future pathogen attack by pre-activating multiple stages of defense signaling. Whereas systemic Pip elevations are indispensable for SAR and necessary for virtually the whole transcriptional SAR response, a moderate but significant SA-independent component of SAR activation and SAR gene expression is revealed. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown individually in pots containing a mixture of soil, vermiculite and sand (8:1:1) in a controlled cultivation chamber with a 10-h day (9 AM to 7 PM; photon flux density 100 mol m-2 s-1) / 14-h night cycle and a relative humidity of 70 %. Day and night temperatures were set to 21C and 18C, respectively. Experiments were performed with 5- to 6-week-old, naive plants exhibiting a uniform appearance. To activate SAR, plants were infiltrated between 10 AM and 12 AM into three lower (1) leaves with suspensions of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola (OD600 = 0.005). Infiltration with 10 mM MgCl2 served as the mock-control treatment. Upper (2) leaves were harvested 48 h after the primary treatment for the determination of systemic gene expression by RNA-seq analyses. Three biologically independent, replicate SAR induction experiments were performed with Col-0 and sid2 plants (experimental set 1), and three other biologically independent experiments with Col-0 and ald1 plants (experimental set 2). In each SAR experiment, at least 6 upper (2) leaves from 6 different plants pre-treated in 1 leaves with Psm (MgCl2) were pooled for one biological Psm- (mock-control) replicate. In this way, 3 biologically independent, replicate samples per treatment and plant genotype were obtained within each SAR set.

Project description:Aphid adaptation to harsh winter conditions is illustrated by an alternation of their reproductive mode. Aphids detect photoperiod shortening by sensing the length of the night and switch from viviparous parthenogenesis in spring and summer, to oviparous sexual reproduction in autumn. The photoperiodic signal is transduced from the head to the reproductive tract to change the fate of the future oocytes from mitotic diploid embryogenesis to haploid formation of gametes. Because of viviparous parthenogenesis, the whole process takes place in three consecutive generations. To understand the molecular basis of the switch in the reproductive mode, a transcriptomic approach was used to detect significantly regulated transcripts in the heads of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. The transcriptomic profiles of the heads of the first generation were slightly affected by photoperiod shortening. This suggests that trans-generation signaling does not occur between the grand-mothers and the viviparous embryos they contain. By analogy, many of the genes regulated in the heads of the second generation are implicated in visual functions, photoreception and cuticle structure. The modification of the cuticle could decrease the storage of N-Î²-alanyldopamine and provoke an increase in free dopamine concentration. Based in results in Drosophila, modification of the insulin pathway could cause a decrease of juvenile hormones in short-day reared aphids. Biological material for microarray experiments was prepared under two dayly photoperiodic regimes both at constant temperature of 18Â°C: i) âShort Nightâ (SN) at 16h of light and ii) âLong Nightâ (LN) at 12h of light to induce the production of sexual morphs. To initiate the experiment, two groups of 105 L3 larvae were placed either under SN or LN condition. This corresponds to generation G0. At the middle of the photophase, 25 individual were frozen when they had reached both the L4 and the wingless adult (WA) stages, in the two photoperiod conditions. The 55 remaining WA individuals (still divided in two groups) were left on 55 plants to lay their offspring: one larva of the 1st stage (L1) was kept per WA. This larva was selected among the 20 first born larvae. This is the generation G1. At the middle of the photophase, 25 individual were frozen when they had reached both the L2 and the L4 stages, in the two photoperiodic conditions. Thus, 25 individuals from 4 different stages (L4-G0, WA-G0, L2-G1 and L4-G1) were collected in the two photoperiod conditions with 3 biological replicates, forming the 24 samples used for microarray experiments. RNAs from heads of aphids from the two photoperiodic conditions were hybridized one against the other for each stage with a dye-swap.The experimental design is thus 24 arrays which corresponds to the described samples of that series.

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst) is a virulent pathogen, which causes disease on tomato and Arabidopsis. The type III secretion system (TTSS) plays a key role in pathogenesis by translocating virulence effectors from the bacteria into the plant host cell, while the phytotoxin coronatine (COR) contributes to virulence and disease symptom development. Recent studies suggest that both the TTSS and and COR are involved in the suppression of host basal defenses. However, little is known about the interplay between the host gene expression associated with basal defenses and the virulence activities of the TTSS and COR during infection. The global effects of the TTSS and COR on host gene expression associated with other host cellular processes during bacterial infection are also not well characterized. In this study, we used the Affymetrix full genome chip to determine the Arabidopsis transcriptome associated with basal defense to Pst DC3000 hrp mutants and the human pathogenic bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7. We then used Pst DC3000 virulence mutants to characterize Arabidopsis transcriptional responses to the action of hrp-regulated virulence factors (e.g., TTSS and COR) during bacterial infection. Additionally, we used bacterial fliC mutants to assess the role of the PAMP flagellin in induction of basal defense-associated transcriptional responses. In total, our global gene expression analysis identified more than 5000 Arabidopsis genes that are reproducibly regulated more than 2-fold in three independent biological replicates of at least one type of comparison. Regulation of these genes provides a molecular signature for Arabidopsis basal defense to plant and human pathogenic bacteria, and illustrates both common and distinct global virulence effects of the TTSS, COR, and possibly other hrp-regulated virulence factors during Pst DC3000 infection.
