Project description:Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a highly toxic contaminant, some bacteria are able to transform it to less toxic and less soluble trivalent chromium (Cr(III)). Klebsiella sp. strain AqSCr, isolated from Cr(VI)-polluted groundwater, reduces Cr(VI) both aerobically and anaerobically, and resists up 35 mM of Cr(VI); Subculturing of AqSCr in the presence of Cr(VI) conduces to adaptation. In this study, we performed RNA-Seq of Cr(VI) adapted stage, finding 255 genes upregulated and 240 downregulated with respect to controls without Cr(VI). Genes differentially expressed are mostly associated with oxidative stress response, DNA repair and replication, sulfur starvation response, envelope-osmotic stress response, fatty acid metabolism, ribosomal subunits and energy metabolism. Among them, genes not previously associated with chromium resistance as cybB, encoding a putative superoxide oxidase, gltA2, encoding an alternative citrate synthase, and des, encoding a fatty acid desaturase were upregulated. The alternative sigma factors fecl, rpoE and rpoS were upredgulated in Cr(VI) adapted cells, then they participate in orchestate the Cr(VI)-resistance mechanisms in AqSCr strain

Project description:Chromium (Cr) is a non-essential metal for normal plants and is toxic to plants at high concentration. In spite of many previous studies having been conducted on the effects of Cr stress, the precise molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways of action of Cr remain poorly understood. In this study, the transcriptome at the early of Cr (VI) stress were assayed in rice roots. To gain more insight into these cellular responses, we analyzed whole-genome transcriptome of rice expose to Cr (VI) for 1 and 3 h. Analysis revealed 1,261 and 267 up and down-regulated genes by Cr (VI). Cr (VI) stress triggered changes in transcript levels of genes related to secondary metabolism process, biosynthetic process, specially jasmonic acid biosynthetic process, response to abiotic stress, specially response to toxin, transcription regulator activity, specially transcription factors activity. The most predominant transcription factor families were WRKY, AP2/ERF, NAC, C2H2, MYB. In addition, many protein kinase, including eight MAPKKK, two CDPK, and one MAPK, showed significant increase in transcriptional level under Cr (VI) stress. Molecular mechanisms for the excess Cr(VI) in rice roots Comparison of mock control and rice seedlings treated with 200 M-NM-<M Cr(VI); Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 Cr(VI)-treated replicates.

Project description:Chromium (Cr) is an important environmental contaminant and also a genotoxic metal ion at high concentration, but its molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways of action in plants is still poorly unraveled. To help characterize the mechanism of molecular and signalling of rice, we present the large-scale, transcriptomic analysis of rice root responses to Cr(VI). We examined the possible involvement of reactive of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium in Cr(VI) signaling transduction pathways, as well as the effect of Cr (VI) on CDPK and MAPK activity. Specially, we used the microarray assay to assess different stage Cr (VI) induced alteration in rice gene expression. This gene discovery effort will help expand our understanding of cellular responses to Cr (VI) treatment, and will identify candidate genes for enhancement of Cr resistance in crop. Two-condition experiment, short exposures and long exposures. Comparison of mock control and rice seedlings treated with 50 μM Cr(VI) during short (pooled from 1- and 3-h treatments), as compared to long (24 h) exposures.; Biological replicates: 3 control replicates (short and long exposures), 3 Cr(VI)-treated replicates (short and long exposures).

Project description:In order to evaluate the mechanisms underlying hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) responses, mice and rats were treated with varying concentrations of Cr(VI) in drinking water, as sodium dichromate dihydrate (SDD). Potential transcriptomic responses were evaluated through microarray analysis.
