Silver nanoparticles affect genes involved in ethylene signaling and stimulate root elongation of white mustard seedlings

ABSTRACT: This work was focused on the germination of white mustard in the presence of high concentration of nitrate and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). High NO3- reduced primary root length while Ag NPs reversed the growth inhibition. Ag NPs increased root length also under normal conditions. RNA-seq of the seedling roots revealed that the presence of Ag NPs negatively affected the expression of genes involved in the ethylene signaling pathway. NO3- up-regulated auxin-responsive genes from SAUR family and down-regulated several auxin efflux carries, while Ag NPs down-regulated YUC9 associated with auxin biosynthesis and some SAUR genes. Comparison of transcriptional profiles of seedlings germinated on high NO3- with and without Ag NPs indicated that in the presence Ag NPs fewer genes involved in cell wall biogenesis and membrane functions and development were down-regulated and fewer genes involved in salicylic and jasmonic acid signaling were up-regulated. However, both Ag NPs and NO3- increased the expression of genes involved in response to various stresses (e.g. pathogens, hypoxia, oxidative stress) and suberin and cutin biosynthesis. We assume that the effect of Ag NPs was primarily related to the ethylene and auxin signaling pathways.

Waterborne exposure of adult zebrafish to silver nanoparticles and ionic silver results in silver accumulation and effects at cellular and molecular levels

Project description:Effects of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on freshwater species have been reported in several studies, but there is not information on the potential long-term consequences of a previous exposure. In this work, we investigated the long-term effects of maltose-coated Ag NPs (20 nm) and of ionic silver (10 µg/L) after 21 days of exposure and at 6 months post-exposure (mpe) in adult zebrafish. Exposure resulted in significant silver accumulation in the whole body of fish exposed to ionic silver, but not in those exposed to Ag NPs. However, autometallography revealed metal accumulation in the liver and intestine of fish treated with the two silver forms and especially in the intestine of fish exposed to Ag NPs. X-ray microanalysis showed the presence of silver in gills, liver and intestine and of Ag NPs in gill and liver cells. Inflammation and hyperplasia were evident in the gills after both treatments and these histopathological conditions remained at 6 mpe. According to the hepatic transcriptome analysis, at 3 days ionic silver regulated a larger number of transcripts (410) than Ag NPs (129), while at 21 days Ag NPs provoked a stronger effect (799 vs 165 regulated sequences). Gene ontology terms such as “metabolic processes” and “response to stimulus” appeared enriched after all treatments, while “immune system” or “reproductive processes” were specifically enriched after the exposure to Ag NPs. This suggests that the toxicity of Ag NPs may not be solely related to the release of Ag ions, but also to the NP form. No evident effects were found on protein oxidation or on hepatocyte lysosomal membrane stability during exposure, but effects recorded on liver lysosomes and persistent damage on gill tissue at 6 mpe could indicate potential for long-term effects in exposed fish.

Changes in Arabidopsis thaliana gene expression in response to silver nanoparticles and silver ions

Project description:The release of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) in the environment has raised concerns about their effects on living organisms, including plants. In this study, changes in gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to SNPs and silver ions (Ag+) were analyzed using Affymetrix expression microarrays. Exposure to 5 mg SNPs L-1 (20 nm) for 10 days resulted in up-regulation of 286 genes and down-regulation of 81 genes by reference to non-exposed plants. Exposure to 5 mg Ag+ L-1 for 10 days resulted in up-regulation of 84 genes and down-regulation of 53 genes by reference to non-exposed plants. Many genes differentially expressed by SNPs and Ag+ were found to be involved in plant response to various stresses: up-regulated genes were primarily associated with response to metals and oxidative stress (e.g., vacuolar cation/proton exchanger, superoxide dismutase, cytochrome P-450-dependent oxidase, and peroxidase), while down-regulated genes were more associated with response to pathogens and hormonal stimuli (e.g., auxin-regulated gene involved in organ size (ARGOS), ethylene signaling pathway, and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against fungi and bacteria). A significant overlap was observed between genes differentially expressed in response to SNPs and Ag+ (13% and 21% of total up- and down-regulated genes, respectively), suggesting that SNP-induced stress originates partly from silver toxicity and partly from nanoparticle-specific effects. Three highly up-regulated genes in the presence of SNPs, but not Ag+, belong to the thalianol biosynthetic pathway, which is thought to be involved in plant defense system. Results from this study provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of plant response to SNPs and Ag+.

Epigenetic effects of silver nanoparticles and ionic silver in Tetrahymena thermophila

Project description:The widespread use of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) has raised substantial health risks to environmental and human beings. Although various negative effects had been reported, little is known about the epigenetic toxicity induced by Ag+ and Ag NPs. This study characterized physiological and lncRNA profiles to explore the toxic effects and epigenetic mechanisms in Tetrahymena thermophila on exposure to Ag+ and three types of Ag NPs. We found that both of Ag+ and Ag NPs exhibited strong growth-inhibiting effects on T. thermophila. The toxicity was mainly caused by high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which subsequently led to lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial dysfunction. As a defense mechanism against oxidative stress, the protist elicited an antioxidant response. Importantly, 1250 lncRNAs were differentially expressed under Ag+ or Ag NPs exposure relative to the non-exposure control, which were clustered into 15 expression modules in weighted gene co-expression network analysis. These gene modules exhibited toxicant-specific expression patterns, indicating that they play various regulatory roles, including cell growth inhibition, cell membrane cation channel activation, and oxidoreductase activity promotion. Taken together, this research illuminates how post-transcriptional mechanisms of a ciliated protozoa regulate responses to Ag+ and Ag NPs toxicities.

Acute toxicity, bioaccumulation and effects of dietary transfer of silver from brine shrimps exposed to PVP/PEI-coated silver nanoparticles to zebrafish

Project description:Silver nanoparticles (NPs) are extensively used due to their antimicrobial activity and, therefore, their input into the ecosystem will increase. Silver can be bioaccumulated by low trophic level organisms and, then, incorporated into the food chain, reaching high level predators. The objectives of this study were to test the acute toxicity of N-vynil-2-pirrolidone/polyethylenimine (PVP-PEI) coated Ag NPs of 5 nm to brine shrimp (Artemia sp) larvae and to assess bioaccumulation and effects of silver transferred by the diet. For the later, brine shrimps were exposed to two different concentrations of Ag NPs, 100 ng/L as an environmentally relevant concentration and 100 µg/L as a likely effective concentration, in parallel with an unexposed control group and, then, used to feed zebrafish during 21 days in order to simulate two trophic levels of a simplified food web. For brine shrimp larvae, EC50 values ranged from 7.39 mg Ag/L (48 h post hatch larvae (hph) exposed for 48 h) to 19.63 mg Ag/L (24 hph larvae exposed for 24 h. Silver accumulation was measured in brine shrimps exposed to 0.1 and 1 mg/L of Ag NPs for 24 h. In zebrafish fed with brine shrimps exposed to Ag NPs, intestine showed higher metal accumulation than liver, although both organs presented the same pattern of dose and time-dependent metal accumulation as revealed by autometallography. Feeding of zebrafish for 3 days with brine shrimps exposed to 100 ng/L of Ag NPs was enough to impair fish health as reflected by the significant reduction of the lysosomal membrane stability and the presence of several histopathological conditions in the liver. Overall, results showed that Ag NPs were able to exert toxic effects on zebrafish through dietary exposure, even at an environmentally relevant concentration, which should act as concern of the need of studies in further detail about real impact of nanomaterials in the environment.

Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on preclimacteric nectarine (Prunus persica cv Stark Red Gold) fruit.

Project description:Peach is a climacteric fruit whose ripening is largely dependent on ethylene. Recently, it has been shown that auxin is able to autonomously regulate the expression of ripening related genes, and that a cross-talk between ethylene and auxin occurs during the ripening process. By using the non-destructing index of absorbance difference (IAD), mature nectarines were homogeneously grouped into three classes (0, 1 and 2) according to their ripening phase and treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), known to block ethylene receptors. 1-MCP responses differed in the three classes that were thus used to molecularly investigate the auxin-ethylene cross-talk during the transition from maturation to ripening and the accompanying switch of ethylene biosynthesis from System-1 to System-2. Microarray experiments showed that 1-MCP modified the expression of 121 genes (63 were up-regulated and 59 down-regulated). Besides inducing ethylene-, auxin- and ripening-repressed genes and repressing ethylene-, auxin- and ripening-induced genes, also genes induced by ripening, auxin and 1-MCP were discovered. The up-regulating effect of 1-MCP was observed for ctg134, similar to signalling peptides, for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase 1 (ACS1) and, interestingly, for many auxin-regulated genes, such as GH3, whose expression is widely used as a marker for free auxin. The latter finding, together with the induction of an IAA amidohydrolase, suggests that the 1-MCP application could have caused a rise in free auxin, thus leading to an increase in ethylene biosynthesis through the induction of the tightly regulated ACS1 gene.

Silver Nanoparticles Induce a Triclosan-Like Antibacterial Action Mechanism in Multi-Drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Project description:Infections associated with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria now represent a significant threat to human health using conventional therapy, necessitating the development of alternate and more effective antibacterial compounds. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been proposed as potential antimicrobial agents to combat infections. A complete understanding of their antimicrobial activity is required before these molecules can be used in therapy. Lysozyme coated Ag NPs were synthesized and characterized by TEMEDS, XRD, UV-vis, FTIR spectroscopy, zeta potential, and oxidative potential assay. Biochemical assays and deep level transcriptional analysis using RNA sequencing were used to decipher how Ag NPs exert their antibacterial action against multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH78578. RNAseq data revealed that Ag NPs induced a triclosan-like bactericidal mechanism responsible for the inhibition of the type II fatty acid biosynthesis. Additionally, released AgC generated oxidative stress both extra and intracellularly in K. pneumoniae. The data showed that triclosan-like activity and oxidative stress cumulatively underpinned the antibacterial activity of Ag NPs. This result was confirmed by the analysis of the bactericidal effect of Ag NPs against the isogenic K. pneumoniae MGH78578 1soxS mutant, which exhibits a compromised oxidative stress response compared to the wild type. Silver nanoparticles induce a triclosan like antibacterial action mechanism in multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae. This study extends our understanding of anti-Klebsiella mechanisms associated with exposure to Ag NPs. This allowed us to model how bacteria might develop resistance against silver nanoparticles, should the latter be used in therapy.

Proteomics reveals multiple effects of titanium dioxide and silver nanoparticles in the metabolism of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus

Project description:This project aimed to assess the toxicity underlying the exposure of Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), an economically valuable fish species, to TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles (NPs). To carry out the study, juvenile fish were exposed to TiO2 and Ag NPs incorporated in the diet. After 14 days of exposure fish were euthanized and liver and kidney samples collected for proteomics. The shotgun proteomics analysis revealed quantitative changes in multiple proteins. The results suggest effects of TiO2 and Ag NPs in energy/lipid metabolism and for instance alterations in ribosome functions, protein biosynthesis and related processes. This proteomic study provided as well candidate biomarkers for NPs exposure in aquaculture species.

RNA sequencing of Escherichia coli K12 substr. MG1655 (MTCC 1302) treated with silver nanoparticles

Project description:The current study deals to decipher the antibacterial mechanism of lysozyme coated silver nanoparticles (L-Ag NPs) (coated with lysozyme) against a Gram negative modal organism Escherichia coli K12 (MTCC 1302). Hence, the whole transcriptome profiling of E. coli K12 was done by exposing it to the MIC75 concentration of L-Ag NPs for 5 and 30 min., by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analysis. The obtained results were utilized to understand all the metabolic pathways, signaling and molecular functions in bacterial cells under the stress of L-Ag NPs. RNAseq showed a high number of total reads along with significant ratio of high-quality reads, which confirmed the excellent quality and quantity of the obtained RNAseq data. Controlled release of ions from the surface of L-Ag NPs allowed the bacterial cells to function normally till the accumulation of threshold amount of silver ions which triggered the action of defence system, thus, reducing the chances of resistance development in bacteria. In long term, such treatment may force the bacterial machinery to induce changes in their genome to counteract the situation and develop resistance against silver ions, similar to the well-known antibiotic resistance problem. The obtained results advocate that L-Ag NPs can be used as effective antibacterial agent.

Gene expression induced by localized nitrate in a split-root system

Project description:Arable soils are extremely heterogeneous in spatial nutrient distribution. It is well documented that lateral roots (LRs) proliferate in nitrate-rich patch. Yet less information is available as to which genes are involved in this process, in particular in cereals. To understand the molecular mechanism for local nitrate induced LR growth in maize (Zea mays L.), we analyzed the gene expression profiling in maize root in early response (1 hour) to local nitrate stimulation by using Maize Oligonucleotide Array (http://www.maizearray.org) and a split-root system. Selected differentially expressed genes were further confirmed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The results showed that reception and/or transduction of local NO3- signal involve some important protein kinases and protein phosphatases (histidine kinases, serine/threonine kinases, protein phosphatase 2A etc.) and transcription factors (F-box, Zinc finger, Myb and bZIP transcription factors and response regulator). Increasing expression of genes encoding auxin response factor 7b, ethylene receptor, and cytokinin oxidase suggests strong interaction among hormonal pathways and local NO3- signaling pathways. Genes involving NO3- uptake and assimilation (NRT2.1, NR, etc.), sugar transport (a sugar transporter) and utilization (a sucrose synthase) were enhanced in the N-fed root. Furthermore, local NO3- induces rapid expression of genes related to cell division and expansion such as alpha-expansin, celluose synthase, kinesin, plasma membrane and tonoplast aquaporins. Based on the differentially expressed genes, a putative model which combines both the 'NO3- signal' and 'metabolic sink' theories is proposed to explain the molecular mechanism controlling local nitrate induced LR elongation in maize.
