Metabolomics-derived insights into the manipulation of terpenoid sysnthesis in Centella asiatica cells by methyl-jasmonate

ABSTRACT: Centella asiatica is an important medicinal plant with a wide range of bioactivities associated with its secondary metabolites. Using two extraction procedures, metabolomic approaches were used to investigate changes in the metabolome of C. asiatica cells treated with exogenous MeJA. GC–MS and LC–MS platforms were employed for semi-targeted and untargeted analyses, respectively. Multivariate data analyses indicated concentration-dependent changes in the metabolite profiles, indicative of the cellular response to MeJA. Annotation of biomarkers correlated with the treatment indicate differential responses in flavonoid-, phenylpropanoid (cinnamates)- and terpenoid pathways and changes in fatty acid profiles. MeJA treatment triggered the accumulation of bicyclic sesquiterpenoids (aristolochene, deoxy-capsidiol, 15-hydroxysolavetivone, solavetivone, 3-hydroxylubimin) and a tricyclic sesquiterpenoid (phytuberin), indicating the stimulatory effect of MeJA on this branch of the terpenoid pathways. In contrast, flavonoids were mostly negatively correlated with the treatment. The presence of the sesquiterpenoids in MeJA-elicited cells and other tentatively identified metabolites (abscisic acid, fatty acids, phytosterols and metabolites of shikimate–phenylpropanoid pathways) indicates that the changes in the metabolome are associated with a defensive function in response to elicitation by MeJA, rather than just the amplification of existing terpene pathways. These results provide a detailed and comprehensive picture of metabolic changes occurring in C. asiatica cells in response to MeJA elicitation and contribute to the understanding of flexible and controllable aspects of metabolic manipulation.

Project description:Background: Cylindrocladium parasiticum Crous, Wingfield & Alfenas, the causal agent of Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), has leaded to economic losses in China. Learning about how peanut responds to C. parasiticum infection will be conducive to designing strategies for CBR control. However, the response of peanut plant to C. parasiticum is poorly understood. Results: In this study, two contrasting peanut cultivars, T09 (C. parasiticum-resistant) and P562 (C. parasiticum-susceptible) were used for comparative analysis of protein profiles in the root segment of peanut plants in responses to C. parasiticum infection. Proteomic profiling identified 1647 and 391 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in A. hypogaea L. P562 and A. hypogaea L. T09, respectively, compared to controls. A total of 350 and 1095 DEPs were identified between A. hypogaea L. P562 and A. hypogaea L. T09 before and after 9 dpi, respectively. Functional categorization by GO annotation showed that C. parasiticum-responsive proteins were mainly involved in catalytic activity and binding. The results of KEGG pathway analysis indicated both resistant and susceptible peanut cultivars can regulate gene expression in the phenylpropanoid pathway, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, SA, and JA pathways to induce defensive genes and protein expression which enhances plant defence capacity. However, the MAPK signal pathway was more pronounced in resistant peanut cultivar T09. We also observed an increase of CYP73A100 involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways in the susceptible peanut ecotype P562, while decrease in the resistant peanut ecotype T09, after 9 dpi. Additionally, there was a marked activation of brassinosteroid biosynthesis in the resistant T09, which indicated a possible involvement of activation of plant immune response in the resistant responses of peanut to C. parasiticum. Conclusions: This study provides some insights into the molecular networks involved on cellular and physiological responses to C. parasiticum infestation.
