Exogenous Hydrogen Peroxide Contributes to Heme Oxygenase-1 Delaying Programmed Cell Death in Isolated Aleurone Layers of Rice Subjected to Drought Stress in a cGMP-Dependent Manner.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that plays a dual role in plant cells. Here, we discovered that drought (20% polyethylene glycol-6000, PEG)-triggered decreases of HO-1 transcript expression and HO activity. However, exogenous H2O2 contributed toward the increase in HO-1 gene expression and activity of the enzyme under drought stress. Meanwhile, the HO-1 inducer hematin could mimic the effects of the H2O2 scavengers ascorbic acid (AsA) and dimethylthiourea (DMTU) and the H2O2 synthesis inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) for scavenging or diminishing drought-induced endogenous H2O2. Conversely, the zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX), an HO-1-specific inhibitor, reversed the effects of hematin. We further analyzed the endogenous H2O2 levels and HO-1 transcript expression levels of aleurone layers treated with AsA, DMTU, and DPI in the presence of exogenous H2O2 under drought stress, respectively. The results showed that in aleurone layers subjected to drought stress, when the endogenous H2O2 level was inhibited, the effect of exogenous H2O2 on the induction of HO-1 was enhanced. Furthermore, exogenous H2O2-activated HO-1 effectively enhanced amylase activity. Application of 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) (the membrane permeable cGMP analog) promoted the effect of exogenous H2O2-delayed PCD of aleurone layers in response to drought stress. More importantly, HO-1 delayed the programmed cell death (PCD) of aleurone layers by cooperating with nitric oxide (NO), and the delayed effect of NO on PCD was achieved via mediation by cGMP under drought stress. In short, in rice aleurone layers, exogenous H2O2 (as a signaling molecule) triggered HO-1 and delayed PCD via cGMP which possibly induced amylase activity under drought stress. In contrast, as a toxic by-product of cellular metabolism, the drought-generated H2O2 promoted cell death.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Vacuolar processing enzymes (VPEs) have been identified as the enzymes that regulate vacuole-mediated programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. The mechanism that VPE regulates the PCD in rice aleurone layers remains unknown. RESULTS:The aleurone layers treated with distilled water exerted caspase-1 and VPE activity, both of which were inhibited by the caspase-1 specific inhibitor Ac-YVAD-CMK but not by the caspase-3 specific inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO. However, the caspase-1 and caspase-3 inhibitors weakened the activity of caspase-3. Combined with the effects of endogenous gibberellin (GA) on the induction of OsVPEs, we suggest that the OsVPE3 in the aleurone layers, which exhibits caspase-1-like activity, is a key molecule in GA-induced PCD via regulating the protease with caspase-3-like activity. Many studies have confirmed that vacuolar fusion is an important feature of vacuole-mediated PCD in plants. In this experiment, the process of vacuole fusion was accompanied by changes in the structure of actin filaments (AFs), specifically, their depolymerization and polymerization. The process of vacuolar fusion was accelerated or delayed by the promotion or inhibition of the depolymerization of AFs, respectively. Here, the inhibition of OsVPE3 blocked the depolymerization of AFs and delayed the fusion of vacuoles, indicating that OsVPE3 can regulate the fusion of vacuoles in rice aleurone layers via mediating AFs. Furthermore, the depolymerization of AFs contributed to the up-regulation of OsVPE3 gene expression and VPE activity, resulting in accelerated PCD in rice aleurone layers. However, the inhibitor of VPE reversed the effects of AF depolymerization on the activity of VPE, then postponing the process of PCD, implying that AF can involve in GA-induced PCD of rice aleurone layers by mediating OsVPE3. CONCLUSIONS:Together, activation of OsVPE3 and depolymerization of AFs shortened the process of vacuolation and PCD in rice aleurone layers, and OsVPE3 interacted with AFs during regulation.
