Project description:In higher plants, various developmental and environmental conditions enhance expression of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX). In this work transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants were generated that either overexpress AOX or inhibit its synthesis. Gene expression following antimycin A treatment, which inhibits the cytochrome pathway in mitochondria, was studied in an AOX overexpressor line. An accumulation of AOX protein blocked normal responses of a number of genes, including some AOX genes. This result indicates that AOX can generate feedback to inhibit induction of its own synthesis.

Project description:In higher plants, various developmental and environmental conditions enhance expression of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX). In this work transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants were generated that either overexpress AOX or inhibit its synthesis. Gene expression following antimycin A treatment, which inhibits the cytochrome pathway in mitochondria, was studied in an AOX overexpressor line. The role of AOX in regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in leaves was studied in the transgenic lines. The transgenic lines were also used to investigate the mitochondria-chloroplasts interaction in assays performed at three-times growth light. For most of the parameters measured AOX antisense lines and WT plants showed a very similar response whereas AOX sense lines differed in several aspects. An unexpected result was that AOX overexpressors had higher cellular ATP/ADP ratios as compared to WT and antisense lines. This was linked to decreased photosynthetic CO2-assimilation and O2-evolution, closed PSII reaction centers and altered Calvin cycle metabolite contents. We conclude that increased mitochondrial AOX capacity can lead to a drain of electrons from the chloroplasts causing an unfavorable redox status and thereby inhibit photosynthesis.

Project description:Changes of genome-wide mRNA transcription levels of human ciliary smooth muscle (hCSM) cells were determined by treating hCSM cells in culture with 200 nM of either an prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype EP2 or subtype EP4 selective agonist for 6 hours in comparison to untreated controls. This was followed by competitive hybridization of fluorescent Cy3 or Cy5 labeled cRNA probes derived from the treated versus untreated control total RNA samples onto an Agilent Human Whole Genome Expression oligonucleotide microarray. Log 2 (LN) of the intra-slide ratios (RATIO, PRE_VALUE) of treated versus untreated samples was reported as VALUE in the sample files. Experiment Overall Design: Human Ciliary Smooth Muscle Cell Culture: Experiment Overall Design: Human ciliary smooth muscle (hCSM) cells were isolated from a female donor, received from the San Diego Eye Bank® (San Diego, CA) and cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum and 0.5% penicillin/streptomycin according to the method reported previously by Woldemussie et al. Experiment Overall Design: For transcriptome analysis, cells were used for experiments starting at passage 4. Three independent experiments at consecutive cell passages were performed. For each experiment 0.6 x 106 cells were plated onto 15 cm dishes in MEM D-Valine medium (PromoCell, Germany) supplemented with 10% FCS, L-glutamine and antibiotics/antimycotics. Cells were grown to ~80% confluency for 6 days, followed by starvation in absence of FCS and presence of 100 nM of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin, 20 µg/ml fatty acid-free BSA and 4 µg/ml transferrin for 17 hours. Cells were then exposed for 6 hours to 200 nM of either the EP2 agonist AGN210937 or the EP4 agonist AGN202280 (Allergan, Irvine, CA) or the corresponding amount of DMSO in the absence of FCS and presence of transferrin. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA Extraction: Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated using a RNA isolation kit (RNAqueous; Ambion, USA) which was followed by DNase I treatment (Turbo DNA-free; Ambion) and purification, according to the manufacturerâ??s protocols. RNA was quantitated using a spectrophotometer ND-1000 (Nanodrop Technologies, USA). RNA quality was assessed regarding purity and stability using a Bioanalyser 2100 (Agilent Technologies, USA). Extracted total RNA aliquots were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -800C for single use. Experiment Overall Design: cRNA Labelling and Oligonucleotide Microarray Hybridization: Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was linearly amplified and labelled with Cy3 or Cy5 using a low RNA input Fluor Linear Amp Kit (Agilent Technologies, USA). Internal RNA controls from Agilentâ??s RNA Spike-in Kit were included, comprised of mixtures of 11 in vitro synthesized transcripts derived from the Adenovirus E1A transcriptome at various ratios. The final cRNA concentration of 500 ng total RNA used was typically 590-650 ng/μl and the Cy3- or Cy5-cytidine incorporation was 5.4 -6.0 pmol/μg cRNA as determined using the Nanodrop spectrophotometer ND-1000. Experiment Overall Design: 3.5 μg of Cy3 and Cy5 labeled cRNA (treated vs. untreated samples) were competitively hybridized to high-density DNA arrays from Agilent Technologies (Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray 44K) for 17 hours at 650C according to the manufacturerâ??s protocol. Each set of three microarray experiments for triplicate analysis contained one dye swap experiment. All microarrays were scanned and the intensities normalized over background as well as to eliminate signal intensity-dependent bias from the ratio of the two channels (Lowess normalization) using a microarray scanner from Agilent Technologies including proprietary software. All microarray data sets were imported into the microarray data analysis software Genespring 7.3 (Agilent Technologies) followed by comparison of normalized intensities. Gene identities were updated according to Agilentâ??s latest list of gene annotations (G4112F, 07Feb07). Experiment Overall Design: Consistency of microarray data quality was assessed by monitoring performance of the spiked internal RNA controls (330 microarray spots/array) at various ratios (Supplementary Data, Fig. S1), by carrying out a global analysis of all absolute fluorescent intensity values, and by analysis of negative control spots (314 microarray spots/array) for determination of detection thresholds.

Project description:Plant mitochondria signal to the nucleus leading to altered transcription of nuclear genes by a process called mitochondrial retrograde regulation (MRR). MRR is implicated in metabolic homeostasis and responses to stress conditions. Transcriptional consequences on nuclear gene expression of mitochondrial perturbations were examined by a microarray analyses. Expression of 606 genes was altered by monofluoroacetate (MFA) inhibition of the TCA cycle in leaves of soil grown Arabidopsis plants in the dark for 10 hours. Functional gene category (MapMan) and cluster analyses showed that genes with expression levels affected by perturbation from MFA inhibition were most similarly affected by biotic stresses such as pathogens, not oxidative stresses. Overall, the data provide further evidence for the presence of mtROS-independent MRR signaling, and support the proposed involvement of MRR and mitochondrial function in plant responses to biotic stress. Three independent (bio-replicate) experiments were done using three independent plant samples in the treatments. For each, approximately 30 plants were used for the treated sample and about 30 plants were used as the control sample. Plants were treated with 5 mM monofluoroacetate in 0.01% Tween 20 and incubated in the dark at room temperature (25C) for 6 hours. RNA was isolated from the inhibitor treated and control plants and used for microarray experiments. For each independent (bio-replicate) experiment, two microarrays were utilized using Cy3 and Cy5 dye-labeled samples and dye swapping was incorporated- 2 microarrays for each of 3 independent experiments (6 microarrays total).

Project description:Plant mitochondria signal to the nucleus leading to altered transcription of nuclear genes by a process called mitochondrial retrograde regulation (MRR). MRR is implicated in metabolic homeostasis and responses to stress conditions. Transcriptional consequences on nuclear gene expression of mitochondrial perturbations were examined by a microarray analyses. Expression of 1316 was altered by antimycin A (AA) inhibition of the cytochrome respiratory pathway in leaves of soil grown Arabidopsis plants in the dark for 6 hours. Functional gene category (MapMan) and cluster analyses showed that genes with expression levels affected by perturbation from AA or MFA inhibition were most similarly affected by biotic stresses such as pathogens, not oxidative stresses. Overall, the data provide further evidence for the presence of mtROS-independent MRR signaling, and support the proposed involvement of MRR and mitochondrial function in plant responses to biotic stress. Three independent (bio-replicate) experiments were done using three independent plant samples and independent chemicals in the treatments. For each, approximately 30 plants were used for the treated sample and about 30 plants were used as the control treated sample. Plants were treated with 20 uM antimycin A in 0.01% Tween 20 and incubated in the dark at room temperature (25C) for 6 hours. RNA was isolated from the inhibitor treated and control treated plants and used for microarray experiments. For each independent (bio-replicate) experiment, two microarrays were utilized using Cy3 and Cy5 dye-labeled samples and dye swapping was incorporated- so, minimum of 2 microarrays for each of 3 independent experiments (6 microarrays). In addition, two of the microarrays were duplicated so that a total of 8 slides were used in the data analyses.

Project description:Ciona intestinalis alternative oxidase (AOX) is a mitochondrial respiratory enzyme that acts as an alternative electron sink for ubiquinol (reduced quinone) when the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III) and/or cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) are inhibited or impaired (El-Khoury et al., 2014). AOX thus enables electron flux through the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and thereby prevents reverse electron transport from succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) to NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) and mitochondrial ROS production, restores redox balance and Krebs cycle activity. As a non-proton-motive enzyme, however, AOX does not directly support ATP production. Previously, a mouse model was generated that despite ubiquitous expression of AOX revealed no deviations from normal physiology and which now is used as model to test mitochondrial disease paradigms (Szibor et al., 2017).

Project description:Experimental studies confirmed n-6 type polyunsaturated fatty acid as pro-carcinogenic factor and n-3 fatty acid as cancer restraining agent; though their mode of action on tumor cells are still unclear. To review the contrasting effect of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids over carcinoma by studying genomic alteration in treated cancer cells, two members from each family of PUFAs, namely EPA and DHA from n-3 PUFA family and, AA and LA from n-6 PUFA family was selected to treat four breast cancer cell lines: MDA-MB231, MDA-MB435S, HCC2218 and MCF-7 for two time period- 6hr and 24hr.

Project description:The conversion of nitrate to ammonium, known as nitrate reduction, consumes large amounts of reductants in plants. Previous studies have observed that mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) is upregulated under conditions of limited nitrate reduction, such as low or no nitrate availability, or when ammonium serves as the sole nitrogen (N) source. Electron transfer from ubiquinone to AOX bypasses the proton-pumping complexes III and IV, thereby consuming reductants efficiently. Therefore, the upregulation of AOX under conditions of limited nitrate reduction may help dissipate excessive reductants and mitigate oxidative stress. However, firm evidence supporting this hypothesis is lacking due to the absence of experimental systems capable of directly analyzing the relationship between nitrate reduction and AOX. To address this gap, we developed a novel culturing system that allows for the manipulation of nitrate reduction and AOX activities separately, without inducing N starvation, ammonium toxicity, or disrupting the nitrate signal. Using this system, we investigated genome-wide gene expression with RNA-seq to gain insight into the relationship between AOX and nitrate reduction.

Project description:Alcohol oxidases are ecologically important enzymes which facilitate a number of plant-fungal interactions. Within Ascomycota they are primarily associated with methylotrophy, as a peroxisomal alcohol oxidase (AOX) catalyzing the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde in methylotrophic yeast. In this study we demonstrate that AOX orthologs are phylogenetically conserved proteins which are common in the genomes of non-methylotrophic, plant-associating fungi. Additionally, AOX orthologs are highly expressed during infection in a range of diverse pathosystems. To study the role of AOX in plant colonization, AOX knockout mutants were generated in the broad host range pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Disease assays in soybean showed that these mutants had a significant virulence defect as evidenced by markedly reduced stem lesions and mortality rates. Chemical genomics suggest that SsAOX may function as an aromatic alcohol oxidase, and growth assays demonstrate that ΔSsAOX is incapable of properly utilizing plant extract as a nutrient source. Profiling of known aromatic alcohols point towards the monolignol coniferyl alcohol (CoA) as a possible substrate for SsAOX. As CoA and other monolignols are ubiquitous among land plants, the presence of highly conserved AOX orthologs throughout Ascomycota imply that this is a broadly conserved protein used by ascomycete fungi during plant colonization.
