Nitric oxide coordinates growth, development, and stress response via histone modification and gene expression.

ABSTRACT: Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule with multiple regulatory functions in plant physiology and stress response. In addition to direct effects on transcriptional machinery, NO executes its signaling function via epigenetic mechanisms. We report that light intensity-dependent changes in NO correspond to changes in global histone acetylation (H3, H3K9, and H3K9/K14) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) wild-type leaves, and that this relationship depends on S-nitrosoglutathione reductase and histone deacetylase 6 (HDA6). The activity of HDA6 was sensitive to NO, demonstrating that NO participates in regulation of histone acetylation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and RNA-seq analyses revealed that NO participates in the metabolic switch from growth and development to stress response. This coordinating function of NO might be particularly important in plant ability to adapt to a changing environment, and is therefore a promising foundation for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on plant productivity.

Project description:L-Arginine (L-Arg), the precursor of nitric oxide (NO), plays an important role in muscle function. Fast-twitch glycolytic fibres are more susceptible to age-related atrophy than slow-twitch oxidative fibres. The effect of L-Arg/NO on protein metabolism of fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibres was evaluated in chickens. In Exp. 1, 48 chicks at 1 day old were divided into 4 groups of 12 birds and subjected to 4 treatments: basal diet without supplementation or supplemented with 1% L-Arg, and water supplemented with or without L-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 18.5 mM). In Exp. 2, 48 chicks were divided into 4 groups of 12 birds fed with the basal diet and subjected to the following treatments: tap water (control), tap water supplemented with L-NAME (18.5 mM), or molsidomine (MS, 0.1 mM), or 18.5 mM L-NAME + 0.1 mM MS (NAMS). The regulatory effect of L-Arg/NO was further investigated in vitro with myoblasts obtained from chicken embryo pectoralis major (PM) and biceps femoris (BF). In vivo, dietary L-Arg supplementation increased breast (+14.94%, P < 0.05) and thigh muscle mass (+23.40%, P < 0.05); whereas, MS treatment had no detectable influence. However, L-NAME treatment blocked the beneficial influence of L-Arg on muscle development. L-Arg decreased (P < 0.05) protein synthesis rate, phosphorylated mTOR and ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1 (p70S6K) levels in breast muscle, which was recovered by L-NAME treatment. In vitro, L-Arg or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) reduced protein synthesis rate, suppressed phosphorylated mTOR/p70S6K and decreased atrogin-1 and muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF1) in myoblasts from PM muscle (P < 0.05). L-NAME abolished the inhibitory effect of L-Arg on protein synthesis and the mTOR/p70S6K pathway. However, myoblasts from BF muscle showed the weak influence. Moreover, blocking the mTOR/p70S6K pathway with rapamycin suppressed protein synthesis of the 2 types of myoblasts; whereas, the protein expression of atrogin-1 and MuRF1 levels were restricted only in myoblasts from PM muscle. In conclusion, L-Arg/NO/mTOR/p70S6K pathway enhances protein accumulation and muscle development in fast-twitch glycolytic muscle in chickens. L-Arg/NO regulates protein turnover in a muscle fibre specific way, which highlights the potential clinical application in fast-twitch glycolytic muscle fibres.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Impaired endothelial cell (EC) autophagy compromises shear stress-induced nitric oxide (NO) generation. We determined the responsible mechanism. APPROACH AND RESULTS:On autophagy compromise in bovine aortic ECs exposed to shear stress, a decrease in glucose uptake and EC glycolysis attenuated ATP production. We hypothesized that decreased glycolysis-dependent purinergic signaling via P2Y1 (P2Y purinoceptor 1) receptors, secondary to impaired autophagy in ECs, prevents shear-induced phosphorylation of eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) at its positive regulatory site S1117 (p-eNOSS1177) and NO generation. Maneuvers that restore glucose transport and glycolysis (eg, overexpression of GLUT1 [glucose transporter 1]) or purinergic signaling (eg, addition of exogenous ADP) rescue shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO production in ECs with impaired autophagy. Conversely, inhibiting glucose transport via GLUT1 small interfering RNA, blocking purinergic signaling via ectonucleotidase-mediated ATP/ADP degradation (eg, apyrase), or inhibiting P2Y1 receptors using pharmacological (eg, MRS2179 [2'-deoxy-N6-methyladenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate tetrasodium salt]) or genetic (eg, P2Y1-receptor small interfering RNA) procedures inhibit shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation in ECs with intact autophagy. Supporting a central role for PKC?T505 (protein kinase C delta T505) in relaying the autophagy-dependent purinergic-mediated signal to eNOS, we find that (1) shear stress-induced activating phosphorylation of PKC?T505 is negated by inhibiting autophagy, (2) shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation are restored in autophagy-impaired ECs via pharmacological (eg, bryostatin) or genetic (eg, constitutively active PKC?) activation of PKC?T505, and (3) pharmacological (eg, rottlerin) and genetic (eg, PKC? small interfering RNA) PKC? inhibition prevents shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation in ECs with intact autophagy. Key nodes of dysregulation in this pathway on autophagy compromise were revealed in human arterial ECs. CONCLUSIONS:Targeted reactivation of purinergic signaling and PKC? has strategic potential to restore compromised NO generation in pathologies associated with suppressed EC autophagy.
