Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis or Thlaspi caerulescens roots exposed to deficient, sufficient or excess zinc

ABSTRACT: A common reference model was used to design the microarray experiment, in which cDNA from T. caerulescens roots exposed to 100 uM (sufficient) zinc was used as the common reference. Every slide was always hybridized with the common reference sample and with a sample from one of the treatments (Arabidopsis or T. caerulescens exposed to deficient, sufficient or excess zinc). The common reference was labeled with the fluorescent dye Cyanine 3 (Cy3) and the treatment samples were labeled with Cyanine 5 (Cy5). As a quality control step we performed a dye-swap hybridization for one sample (from T. caerulescens roots exposed to sufficient zinc).

The micronutrient zinc has an essential role in physiological and metabolic processes in plants as a cofactor or structural element in 300 catalytic and noncatalytic proteins, but it is very toxic when available in elevated amounts. Plants tightly regulate their internal zinc concentrations in a process called zinc homeostasis. The exceptional zinc hyperaccumulator species Thlaspi caerulescens can accumulate up to 3% of zinc, but also high amounts of nickel and cadmium, without any sign of toxic ...[more]

Project description:affy_nitrogen_medicago - affy_nitrogen_medicago - Experiment has been designed to characterize the molecular expression patterns associated to a contrasted modification of the nitrogen status of the whole plant. The systemic effects of nitrogen status modifications are investigated and compared on non nodulated plant supplied with NO3, NH4 or nodulated plants (Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011) supplied with air. The root systems were separated in two compartments of unequal sizes (split root system). Two treatments were applied on the larger compartment in order to modulate the nitrogen status of the plant: for the S treatment, roots are supplied with nutrient solution containing 10 mM NH4NO3,, whereas for the C treatment, roots are supplied with nitrogen free medium. In the case of N2 fixing plants, N limitation was obtained by replacing air by a mixture of Ar and O2 80 per cent and 20 per cent. The effects of these treatments were investigated on roots of the minor compartment supplied continuously with either NO3 1 mM, NH4 1 mM or air (N2) and on the shoots. We were also interested in the molecular expression patterns associated to the roots deprived of N.-The root system of non-nodulated (NO3- and NH4+) or nodulated (N2) plants is split into two unequal parts and each one is installed in a separate compartment. For the S treatement, the major root part is supplied with NH4NO3 10 mM whereas the minor part is supplied with either NO3- 1mM, NH4+ 1mM or N2. For the C treatement, the major root part is supplied with nitrogen-free nutrient solution whereas the minor part is supplied with either NO3- 1mM, NH4plus 1mM or N2. Each treatement is four days long. Samples of roots of six biological types (NO3S, NO3C, NH4S, NH4C, N2S and N2C) were collected. Two biological repeats per biological types have been analyzed. The effect of the S and C treatments were investigated for each N sources by comparing Affymetrix transcriptomes (NO3C vs NO3S, NH4C vs NH4S, N2C vs N2S).

Project description:The experiment is aiming to analyze the effect of overexpression of the Arabidopsis At1g06160 AP2/ERF-domain transcription factor on gene expression and the involvement of the At1g06160-regulated genes in the jasmonic acid or jasmonic acid/ethylene signal transduction pathways. The experiment was performed with 12 hybridizations, using 24 samples of species [Arabidopsis thaliana], using 12 arrays of array design [Agilent Arabidopsis 3 Oligo Microarray [G4142A]], producing 12 raw data files and 0 transformed and/or normalized data files. In the first two hybridizations (#1 and #2), two independent transgenic Arabidopsis lines containing a construct carrying the Arabidopsis gene At1g06160 fused to an inducible promoter were used. This promoter is activated after the addition of the chemical estradiol to the plant medium. Addition of estradiol results in overexpression of At1g06160. For each independent line, total RNA from estradiol-treated and -untreated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed for each At1g06160-inducible line. Two other hybridizations (#3 and #4) were performed using two independent transgenic Arabidopsis control lines containing a construct carrying the GUS gene fused to an inducible promoter. For each independent line, total RNA from estradiol-treated and -untreated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively and hybridization was performed for each GUS-inducible line. The last 8 hybridizations were performed using wild-type Arabidopsis plants. The aim was analyze the effect of the jasmonic acid hormone or the effect of a combination of the jasmonic acid and ethylene hormones on gene expression in wild-type. Hybridizations #5 and #6: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) or with the control DMSO and total RNA was collected after 8 hours. Total RNA from JA-treated and DMSO-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly. Hybridizations #7 and #8: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) or with the control DMSO and total RNA was collected after 24 hours. Total RNA from JA-treated and DMSO-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly. Hybridizations #9 and #10: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene or with the control DMSO/Na-phosphate and total RNA was collected after 8 hours. Total RNA from JA/ethylene-treated and DMSO/Na-phosphate-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly. Hybridizations #11 and #12: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene or with the control DMSO/Na-phosphate and total RNA was collected after 24 hours. Total RNA from JA/ethylene-treated and DMSO/Na-phosphate-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly.

Project description:Plant cells contain different O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase (OASTL) enzymes involved in Cys biosynthesis and located in different subcellular compartments. These enzymes are made up of a complex variety of isoforms resulting in different subcellular Cys pools. To unravel the contribution of cytosolic Cys to plant metabolism, we characterized the knockout oas-a1.1 and osa-a1.2 mutants, deficient in the most abundant cytosolic OASTL isoform in Arabidposis thaliana. Total intracellular Cys and glutathione concentrations were reduced, and the glutathione redox state was shifted in favour of its oxidized form. Interestingly, the capability of the mutants to chelate heavy metals did not differ from that of the wild type, but the mutants have an enhanced sensitivity to Cd. With the aim of establishing the metabolic network most influenced by the cytosolic Cys pool, we used the ATH1 GeneChip for evaluation of differentially expressed genes in the oas-a1.1 mutant grown under non-stress conditions. The transcriptomic footprints of mutant plants had predicted functions associated with various physiological responses that are dependent on reactive oxygen species and suggested that the mutant was oxidatively stressed. To further elucidate the specific function(s) of the OAS-A1 isoform in the adaptation response to cadmium we extended the trasncriptome experiment to the wild type and oas-a1.1 mutant plants exposed to Cd. The comparison of transcriptomic profiles showed a higher proportion of genes with altered expression in the mutant than in the wild type, highlighting up-regulated genes identified as of the general oxidative stress response rather than metal-responsive genes. Wild type and oas-a1.1 mutant plants were grown hydroponically and, after a two-week acclimation period, the roots and shoots were harvested separately. Total RNA was then prepared and analyzed using the Affymetrix-Arabidopsis ATH1GeneChip array. Three biological replicates were performed for each sample. We made two different comparisons to classify the differently expressed genes in the mutant plant: oas-a1.1 roots versus wild-type roots and oas-a1.1 shoots versus wild-type shoots. Hydroponically-grown wild type and oas-a1.1 mutant plants were further treated with 50µM CdCl2 and 18h-treated-roots and 24h-treated-shoots were harvested. Total RNA was then prepared and analyzed using the Affymetrix-Arabidopsis ATH1GeneChip array. Three biological replicates were performed for each sample. Different comparisons were performed as follows: 18h Cd-treated wild type roots versus untreated wild type roots; 24h Cd-treated wild type shoots versus untreated wild type shoots; 18h Cd-treated oas-a1.1 roots versus untreated oas-a1.1 roots; 24h Cd-treated oas-a1.1 shoots versus untreated oas-a1.1 shoots; 18h Cd-treated oas-a1.1 roots versus 18h Cd-treated wild type roots; 24h Cd-treated oas-a1.1 shoots versus 24h Cd-treated wild type shoots
