Apolipoprotein A-I Supports MSCs Survival under Stress Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Clinical trials have shown the safety of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) transplantation, but the effectiveness of these treatments is limited. Since, transplanted MSCs will undergo metabolic disturbances in the bloodstream, we investigated the influence of blood plasmas of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients on MSCs viability and examined whether apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) could protect cells from stressful conditions of serum deprivation (SD), hypoxia, and elevated concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ApoA-I exhibits anti-inflammatory, immune activities, improves glycemic control, and is suitable for T2D patients but its influence on MSCs remains unknown. For the first time we have shown that apoA-I decreases intracellular ROS and supports proliferative rate of MSCs, thereby increasing cell count in oxidation conditions. ApoA-I did not influence cell cycle when MSCs were predominantly in the G0/G1 phases under conditions of SD/hypoxia, activated proliferation rapidly, and reduced apoptosis during MSCs transition to the oxygenation or oxidation conditions. Finally, it was found that the blood plasma of T2D individuals had a cytotoxic effect on MS?s in 39% of cases and had a wide variability of antioxidant properties. ApoA-I protects cells under all adverse conditions and can increase the efficiency of MSCs transplantation in T2D patients.

Project description:Growth retardation and stress-induced premature plant senescence are accompanied by a severe yield reduction and raise a major agro-economic concern. To improve biomass and yield in agricultural crops under mild stress conditions, the survival must be changed to productivity mode. Our previous successful attempts to delay premature senescence and growth inhibition under abiotic stress conditions by autoregulation of cytokinins (CKs) levels constitute a generic technology toward the development of highly productive plants. Since this technology is based on the induction of CKs synthesis during the age-dependent senescence phase by a senescence-specific promoter (SARK), which is not necessarily regulated by abiotic stress conditions, we developed autoregulating transgenic plants expressing the IPT gene specifically under abiotic stress conditions. The Arabidopsis promoter of the stress-induced metallothionein gene (AtMT) was isolated, fused to the IPT gene and transformed into tobacco plants. The MT:IPT transgenic tobacco plants displayed comparable elevated biomass productivity and maintained growth under drought conditions. To decipher the role and the molecular mechanisms of CKs in reverting the survival transcriptional program to a sustainable plant growth program, we performed gene expression analysis of candidate stress-related genes and found unexpectedly clear downregulation in the CK-overproducing plants. We also investigated kinase activity after applying exogenous CKs to tobacco cell suspensions that were grown in salinity stress. In-gel kinase activity analysis demonstrated CK-dependent deactivation of several stress-related kinases including two of the MAPK components, SIPK and WIPK and the NtOSAK, a member of SnRK2 kinase family, a key component of the ABA signaling cascade. A comprehensive phosphoproteomics analysis of tobacco cells, treated with exogenous CKs under salinity-stress conditions indicated that >50% of the identified phosphoproteins involved in stress responses were dephosphorylated by CKs. We hypothesize that upregulation of CK levels under stress conditions desensitize stress signaling cues through deactivation of kinases that are normally activated under stress conditions. CK-dependent desensitization of environmental stimuli is suggested to attenuate various pathways of the avoidance syndrome including the characteristic growth arrest and the premature senescence while allowing normal growth and metabolic maintenance.

Project description:BackgroundPine trees challenged by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus invasion produce phytoalexins to combat this nematode. Nevertheless, the phytoalexins of Asian pine trees are ineffective against B. xylophilus. The anti-phytoalexin genes of B. xylophilus disable almost all Asian pine phytoalexins, which has allowed B. xylophilus to devastate pine forests in eastern Asia over the last four decades. However, to date, the factors that stimulate anti-phytoalexin gene expression and the mechanisms by which these genes act are not well understood.ResultsHere, we described anti-phytoalexin genes in B. xylophilus using transcriptomic and bioinformatics analyses. The genes that were induced by both Pinus massoniana and carvone and had similarly elevated expression trends were considered anti-phytoalexin genes. Altogether, 187 anti-phytoalexin genes were identified, including 4 cathepsin genes. KEGG pathway enrichment indicated that those cathepsins were related to the Lysosome pathway. Since cathepsins help to maintain metabolic homeostasis by participating in the degradation of heterophagic and autophagic material, the lysosomal cathepsin gene Bx-cathepsin W was cloned and characterized. The results of the RNAi assessment indicated that the knockdown of Bx-cathepsin W reduced the survival rates of B. xylophilus under carvone or P. massoniana stress. The correlation between Bx-cathepsin W and the susceptibility of pines showed that Bx-cathepsin W might help improve the anti-phytotoxin ability of B. xylophilus.ConclusionsThe results indicated that the anti-phytoalexin gene Bx-cathepsin W supported the survival of B. xylophilus under P. massoniana phytoalexin stress. The cDNA library sequencing, differentially expressed gene identification, and WGCNA algorithm analysis provided insight at a systemic level into the gene regulation of B. xylophilus in response to the immune reaction of P. massoniana. These results will lead to a better understanding of the function of nematode defenses in host innate immunity.
