Transcriptional profiling after inhibition of cellulose synthesis by TA and IXB in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling after inhibition of cellulose synthesis by thaxtomin A and isoxaben in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells Perturbations in the cellulose content of the plant cell wall lead to global modifications in cellular homeostasis, as seen in cellulose synthase mutants or after inhibiting cellulose synthesis. In particular, application of inhibitors of cellulose synthesis such as thaxtomin A (TA) and isoxaben (IXB) initiates a programmed cell death (PCD) in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells that is dependent on de novo gene transcription. To further understand how TA and IXB activate PCD, a whole genome microarray analysis was performed on mRNA isolated from Arabidopsis suspension cells exposed to TA and IXB. More than 75% of the genes upregulated by TA were also upregulated by IXB, including genes encoding cell wall-related and calcium-binding proteins, defence/stress-related transcription factors, signalling components and cell death-related proteins. Comparisons with published transcriptional analyses revealed an important subset of genes generally induced in response to various biotic and abiotic stress.

Project description:ra03-04_elongation_isoxaben - isoxaben treatment - 1. Study the molecular basis of the growth acceleration observed in hypocotyl cells. We previously have observed that cell elongation takes place in two distinct phases (Refregier et al., 2004). A slow growth phase during which a thick polylamellated wall is deposited and a rapid growth phase during which cell wall polymers are extensively remodelled. In dark-grown hypocotyls the slow growth phase takes place during the first 48h after seed-imbibition synchronously in all cells. At 48h after imbibition, cells at the basis of the hypocotyl undergo a growth acceleration, this acceleration follows an acropetal gradient along the hypocotyl. In this experiment, we investigated the changes in transcript abundance that accompany this sudden increase in growth rate. 2. Study the feed-back mechanisms involved in the coordination between cellulose synthesis and the cell elongation. The inhibition of cellulose using chemical inhibitors also inhibits cell elongation. In the same study (Refregier et al., 2004), we have observed that the effect of the cellulose synthesis inhibitor isoxaben on cell elongation is different dependent on the growth stage. When applied during the slow growth phase, cells continue to elongate slowly and do not show the growth acceleration at 48h after imbibition. Surprisingly, when applied after the growth acceleration, isoxaben does not inhibit subsequent growth. In this study we compared the effects of isoxaben on the transcript profiles before and after the growth acceleration. This should inform us about the response of the hypocotyl cells to the inhibition of cellulose and should provide insights into the molecular events that underly the observed coupling between cellulose synthesis and cell elongation. - 1- 45 hours, transfer to medium +/-isoxaben, harvest at 48 hours: comparison 48 hours + /- isoxaben. 2- 52 hours, transfer on + /-isoxaben, harvest 55 hours: comparison 55 hours + /-isoxaben (after transition: inhibition synthesis of cellulose, no inhibition of cellular elongation). Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison
