Regulation and physiological function of proteins for heat tolerance in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) genotypes under controlled and field conditions

ABSTRACT: The expression of heat shock proteins is considered a central adaptive mechanism to heat stress. This study investigated the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and other stress-protective proteins against heat stress in cowpea genotypes under field (IT-96D-610 and IT-16) and controlled (IT-96D-610) conditions. Plants in the control environment were under 25/20°C (day/night) in a warm chamber and 40/25 °C in a hot chamber. In the field, plants grew at Eensaamheid with 26 to 28°C and at Marapyane with 30 to 32°C monthly average maximum temperatures. Heat stress response analysis of proteins at 72 h in the controlled environment showed 270 differentially regulated proteins identified using label-free quantitative proteomics in IT-96D-610 plants. These plants expressed HSPs and chaperones (BAG family molecular chaperone 6 (BAG6), Multiprotein bridging factor1c (MBF1C) and cold shock domain protein 1 (CSDP1)) in the controlled environment. However, IT-96D-610 plants expressed a wider variety of small HSPs and more HSPs in the field. IT-96D-610 plants also responded to heat stress by exclusively expressing chaperones (DnaJ chaperones, universal stress protein and heat shock binding protein (HSBP)) and non-HSP proteins (Deg1, EGY3, ROS protective proteins, temperature-induced lipocalin and succinic dehydrogenase). Photosynthesis recovery and induction of proteins related to photosynthesis, were better in IT-96D-610 because of the concurrent induction of heat stress response proteins for chaperone functions, protein degradation for repair and ROS scavenging proteins and PSII operating efficiency (Fq’/Fm’) than IT-16. This study contributes to identification of thermotolerance mechanisms in cowpea that can be useful in knowledge-based crop improvement.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptome in moss Physcomitrella patens CNGCb null mutant at 25 and 34 degrees C for 30 minutes. Results provide insight into role of CNGCb in acquired thermotolerance induced by non-lethal heat treatment. Typically at dawn of a hot summer day, land plants need precise molecular thermometers to sense harmless increments in the ambient temperature to timely develop a heat-shock response (HSR) and accumulate protective heat shock proteins (Hsps), in anticipation of upcoming harmful temperatures at mid-day. Here, we found that the CNGCb gene from Physcomitrella patens and its Arabidopsis ortholog CNGC2, encode for a component of cyclic nucleotide gated Ca2+ channels acting as the primary thermosensors of land plant cells. Disruption of CNGCb or CNGC2 produced a hyper-thermosensitive phenotype, giving rise to a HSR and acquired thermotolerance at significantly milder heat-priming treatments than in wild type plants. In an aequorin-expressing moss, CNGCb loss-of-function caused altered Ca2+ signaling and a sustained Ca2+ influx. Patch clamp recordings on moss protoplasts showed the presence of three distinct thermo-responsive Ca2+-channels in wild type cells. Deletion of CNGCb led to a total absence of one, and it increased the open probability of the remaining two thermo-responsive Ca2+ channels. Thus, both in Arabidopsis and moss, CNGC2 and CNGCb are expected to form with other related CNGCs, heteromeric Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane that respond to mild increments in the ambient temperature by triggering an optimal HSR, leading to the onset of plant acquired thermotolerance. The WT moss tissues were heat-shocked for a half an hour at 34°C and 38°C and CNGCb at 25and 34°C followed by liquid nitrogen freezing. Total RNA was isolated using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and two biological replicate samples for each treatment, were extracted. An Agilent-certified microarray service lab (MOgene, LC, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to verify the integrity of the RNA and perform the microarray experiments. Two biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Calciprotein particles (CPPs), assembled as a result of molecular interactions between fetuin-A and nascent calcium phosphate clusters, are indispensable scavengers of excessive Ca2+ and PO43– ions, thus representing an elegant mechanism which regulates mineral homeostasis. Generation of CPPs represents an evolutionary mechanism to prevent blood supersaturation with Ca2+ and PO43– ions (e.g., as a result of bone resorption) and to thwart extraskeletal calcification, a pathological condition which is frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease. It is believed that formation of CPPs accompanied evolution from the appearance of bony fish; the existence of CPPs in more ancient animals remains uncertain. Shortly after emergence, amorphous, spherical, and submicrometer-sized (30-100 nm) primary CPPs (CPP-P) evolve into crystalline, spindle- or needle-shaped, and micrometer-sized (100-300 nm) secondary CPPs (CPP-S). Upon executing their function of aggregating Ca2+ and PO43– ions, CPPs are removed from the circulation by endothelial cells (ECs), monocytes, and liver or spleen macrophages. Internalisation and digestion of CPPs by ECs induce a chain of detrimental events including an increase in cytosolic Ca2+, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress, nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated transcriptional response and cytokine release, ultimately contributing to the development of pro-inflammatory endothelial activation, chronic low-grade inflammation, and inflammaging. Pathological permeability of dysfunctional endothelium promotes lipid retention and leukocyte extravasation, together contributing to the development of vascular inflammation, proteolytic environment, degradation of basement membrane and internal elastic lamina, and contractile-to-synthetic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells. Such an ensemble of molecular events ultimately induces intimal hyperplasia, vascular remodeling, and atherosclerotic progression. Hence, CPPs act as a double-edged sword which rescues the human body from an acute life-threatening disease (i.e., extraskeletal calcification) at the cost of promoting long-lasting conditions (i.e., endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis). Among the several forms of calcium transfer (free Ca2+ ions, colloidal calciprotein monomers, and particulate CPPs), CPPs are the most efficient in delivering calcium stress to ECs because of their deposition and dissolution in lysosomes, followed by a lysosomal membrane permeabilisation and an excessive Ca2+ migration into the cytosol. The molecular pattern of CPP-induced calcium stress within the ECs is well defined and includes elevated expression of cell adhesion molecules (VCAM1, ICAM1, and E-selectin) and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition transcription factors (SNAI1, SNAI2, TWIST1, and ZEB1) in combination with an endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling. However, our knowledge on extracellular signatures of such endothelial response remains limited to an augmented release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1/CCL2, MIF, CXCL1, and MIP-3α/CCL20) and pro- or anti-thrombotic molecules (serpin E1/PAI-1 and uPAR). As EC-secreted bioactive factors (termed angiokines) control vascular tone, maintain hemostasis, and regulate instructive signaling governing local homeostasis within the most organs, decryption and interpretation of endothelial secretome in physiological and pathological conditions is of utmost importance. Discovery of a circulating biomarkers specific for endothelial dysfunction, which can be measured by a routine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, might inform on specific disease states and prompt to the respective pharmacological interventions. Here, we aimed at deciphering the secretome of ECs treated with either CPP-P or CPP-S, employing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the analysis of serum-free cell culture supernatant. For the objective comparison of heterogeneous arterial ECs, we utilised human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAEC) which comprise an innermost lining in atheroprone and atheroresistant blood vessels (coronary artery and internal thoracic artery, respectively).

Project description:Morphine, a commonly used antinociceptive drug in hospitals, is known to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by first passing through brain endothelial cells. Despite its pain-relieving effect, morphine also has detrimental effects, such as the potential induction of redox imbalance in the brain. However, there is still insufficient evidence of these effects on the brain, particularly on the brain endothelial cells and the extracellular vesicles that they naturally release. Indeed, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized bioparticles produced by almost all cell types and are currently thought to reflect the physiological state of their parent cells. These vesicles have emerged as a promising source of biomarkers by indicating the functional or dys-functional state of their parent cells and, thus, allowing a better understanding of the biological processes involved in an adverse state. However, there is very little information on the mor-phine effect on human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs), and even less on their released EVs. Therefore, the current study aimed at unraveling the detrimental mechanisms of morphine exposure (at 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 µM) for 24 h on human brain microvascular endothe-lial cells as well as on their associated EVs. Isolation of EVs was carried out using an affini-ty-based method. Several orthogonal techniques (NTA, western blotting and proteomics analy-sis) were used to validate the EVs enrichment, quality and concentration. Data-independent mass spectrometry (DIA-MS)-based proteomics was applied in order to analyze the proteome modu-lations induced by morphine on HBMECs and EVs. We were able to quantify almost 5500 pro-teins in HBMECs and 1500 proteins in EVs, of which 256 and 148, respectively, were found to be differentially expressed in at least one condition. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the “cell adhesion and extracellular matrix remodeling” process and the “HIF1 pathway”, a pathway related to oxidative stress responses, were significantly modulated upon morphine exposure in HBMECs and EVs. Altogether, the combination of proteomics and bioinformatics findings high-lighted shared pathways between HBMECs exposed to morphine and their released EVs. These results put forward molecular signatures of morphine-induced toxicity in HBMECs that were also carried by EVs. Therefore, EVs could potentially be regarded as a useful tool to investigate brain endothelial cells dysfunction, and to a different extent, the BBB dysfunction in patient cir-culation using these “signature pathways”.
