Multi-omics insights into the positive role of strigolactone perception in barley drought response.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drought is a major environmental stress that affects crop productivity worldwide. Although previous research demonstrated links between strigolactones (SLs) and drought, here we used barley (Hordeum vulgare) SL-insensitive mutant hvd14 (dwarf14) to scrutinize the SL-dependent mechanisms associated with water deficit response.

Results

We have employed a combination of transcriptomics, proteomics, phytohormonomics analyses, and physiological data to unravel differences between wild-type and hvd14 plants under drought. Our research revealed that drought sensitivity of hvd14 is related to weaker induction of abscisic acid-responsive genes/proteins, lower jasmonic acid content, higher reactive oxygen species content, and lower wax biosynthetic and deposition mechanisms than wild-type plants. In addition, we identified a set of transcription factors (TFs) that are exclusively drought-induced in the wild-type barley.

Conclusions

Critically, we resolved a comprehensive series of interactions between the drought-induced barley transcriptome and proteome responses, allowing us to understand the profound effects of SLs in alleviating water-limiting conditions. Several new avenues have opened for developing barley more resilient to drought through the information provided. Moreover, our study contributes to a better understanding of the complex interplay between genes, proteins, and hormones in response to drought, and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to studying plant stress response mechanisms.

Project description:BackgroundNUP62, a key component of the nuclear pore complex, is closely associated with cellular functions and cancer progression. However, its expression patterns, prognostic value, and relationship with tumour immunity and drug sensitivity across multiple cancers have not been systematically studied. This study used multi-omics analyses combined with experimental validation in gastric cancer to investigate the expression, functional characteristics, and clinical relevance of NUP62 in cancer.MethodsData from TCGA, GTEx, and CPTAC databases were used to analyse the expression, mutation characteristics, and clinical associations of NUP62. Tools such as SangerBox, TIMER 2.0, and GSEA were employed to evaluate the relationship between NUP62 and the tumour immune microenvironment, as well as its involvement in signalling pathways. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were used to validate the expression of NUP62 in gastric cancer tissues. PRISM and CTRP databases were utilised to assess the correlation between NUP62 expression and drug sensitivity.ResultsNUP62 was significantly upregulated in multiple cancers and was associated with poor prognosis in cancers such as clear cell renal carcinoma (KIRC), lower-grade glioma (LGG), and adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), while playing a protective role in others, such as bladder cancer (BLCA) and stomach cancer (STAD). Functional analyses showed that NUP62 is involved in cell cycle regulation, DNA damage repair, and tumour immunity. High NUP62 expression was significantly correlated with increased infiltration of immune cells, such as macrophages and T cells, and a higher response rate to immunotherapy. Drug sensitivity analysis identified NUP62 as a marker of sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic agents. Validation experiments demonstrated that NUP62 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues.ConclusionsNUP62 plays a critical role in multiple cancers and shows potential as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic response prediction. Its role in tumour immunity and signalling pathways highlights its potential as a target for immunotherapy and precision medicine.

Project description:CBP20 (Cap-Binding Protein 20) encodes a small subunit of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which is involved in the conserved cell processes related to RNA metabolism in plants and, simultaneously, engaged in the signaling network of drought response, which is dependent on ABA. CBP20 (Cap-Binding Protein 20), which encodes a small subunit of the cap-binding complex (CBC). CBC is a heterodimer that is formed by two subunits – a small one that is encoded by CBP20 and a large subunit that is encoded by CBP80 (Cap-Binding Protein 80). Both the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of CBP20 are highly conserved across species from Saccharomyces to Homo sapiens. CBP20 is involved in very conserved cell processes that are related to RNA metabolism such as polyadenylation and splicing, miRNA biogenesis, and according to the most recent reports, to histone methylation (Kuhn et al. 2008; Kim et al. 2008; Gregory et al. 2008; Kmieciak et al. 2002; Laubinger et al. 2008; Li et al. 2016). Most striking, however, is its simultaneous engagement in ABA signaling during seed germination and drought response (Papp et al. 2004; Jäger et al. 2011). It was shown that an Arabidopsis cbp20 mutant exhibited a hypersensitivity to ABA during seed germination and a better performance under water deficit conditions than the WT (Papp et al. 2004; Jäger et al. 2011). Interestingly, the Arabidopsis knockout mutant in CBP80 (Cap-Binding Protein 80; ABA hypersensitive 1) exhibited a similar phenotype when exposed to ABA or drought stress (Hugouvieux et al. 2001; 2002; Daszkowska-Golec et al. 2013). In Solanum tuberosum, an amiR80.2-14 mutant (CBP80 silenced using artificial microRNAs) was also reported to be drought tolerant (Pieczyński et al. 2013). Water-deficiency conditions related gene expression analysis was performed in barley in two genotypes: the wild-type (WT) barley cultivar 'Sebastian’ and hvcbp20.ab mutant; in three time points: (1) optimal water conditions, (2) onset of drought stress and (3) after 10 days of prolonged drought stress in the second leaf; analyses were performed in three biological replicates. Here, we report the enhanced tolerance to drought stress of barley mutant in the HvCBP20 gene.Transcriptome analysis using the Agilent Barley Microarray integrated with observed phenotypic traits allowed to conclude that the hvcbp20.ab mutant exhibited better fitness to stress conditions by its much more efficient and earlier activation of stress-preventing mechanisms. The network hubs involved in the adjustment of hvcbp20.ab mutant to the drought conditions were proposed. These results enabled to make a significant progress in understanding the role of CBP20 in the drought stress response.
