Real-time electrochemical detection of extracellular nitric oxide in tobacco cells exposed to cryptogein, an elicitor of defence responses.

ABSTRACT: It was previously reported that cryptogein, an elicitor of defence responses, induces an intracellular production of nitric oxide (NO) in tobacco. Here, the possibility was explored that cryptogein might also trigger an increase of NO extracellular content through two distinct approaches, an indirect method using the NO probe 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2) and an electrochemical method involving a chemically modified microelectrode probing free NO in biological media. While the chemical nature of DAF-2-reactive compound(s) is still uncertain, the electrochemical modified microelectrodes provide real-time evidence that cryptogein induces an increase of extracellular NO. Direct measurement of free extracellular NO might offer important new insights into its role in plants challenged by biotic stresses.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase-derived extracellular nitric oxide flux regulates proinflammatory responses at the single cell level.

Project description:The role of nitric oxide (NO) in cancer progression has largely been studied in the context of tumor NOS2 expression. However, pro- versus anti-tumor signaling is also affected by tumor cell-macrophage interactions. While these cell-cell interactions are partly regulated by NO, the functional effects of NO flux on proinflammatory (M1) macrophages are unknown. Using a triple negative murine breast cancer model, we explored the potential role of macrophage Nos2 on 4T1 tumor progression. The effects of NO on macrophage phenotype were examined in bone marrow derived macrophages from wild type and Nos2-/- mice following in vitro stimulation with cytokine/LPS combinations to produce low, medium, and high NO flux. Remarkably, Nos2 induction was spatially distinct, where Nos2high cells expressed low cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox2) and vice versa. Importantly, in vitro M1 polarization with IFNγ+LPS induced high NO flux that was restricted to cells harboring depolarized mitochondria. This flux altered the magnitude and spatial extent of hypoxic gradients. Metabolic and single cell analyses demonstrated that single cell Nos2 induction limited the generation of hypoxic gradients in vitro, and Nos2-dependent and independent features may collaborate to regulate M1 functionality. It was found that Cox2 expression was important for Nos2high cells to maintain NO tolerance. Furthermore, Nos2 and Cox2 expression in 4T1 mouse tumors was spatially orthogonal forming distinct cellular neighborhoods. In summary, the location and type of Nos2high cells, NO flux, and the inflammatory status of other cells, such as Cox2high cells in the tumor niche contribute to Nos2 inflammatory mechanisms that promote disease progression of 4T1 tumors.

A flexible and physically transient electrochemical sensor for real-time wireless nitric oxide monitoring.

Project description:Real-time sensing of nitric oxide (NO) in physiological environments is critically important in monitoring neurotransmission, inflammatory responses, cardiovascular systems, etc. Conventional approaches for NO detection relying on indirect colorimetric measurement or built with rigid and permanent materials cannot provide continuous monitoring and/or require additional surgical retrieval of the implants, which comes with increased risks and hospital cost. Herein, we report a flexible, biologically degradable and wirelessly operated electrochemical sensor for real-time NO detection with a low detection limit (3.97 nmol), a wide sensing range (0.01-100 μM), and desirable anti-interference characteristics. The device successfully captures NO evolution in cultured cells and organs, with results comparable to those obtained from the standard Griess assay. Incorporated with a wireless circuit, the sensor platform achieves continuous sensing of NO levels in living mammals for several days. The work may provide essential diagnostic and therapeutic information for health assessment, treatment optimization and postsurgical monitoring.

Detection of nitric oxide-mediated metabolic effects using real-time extracellular flux analysis.

Project description:Dendritic cell (DC) activation is marked by key events including: (I) rapid induction and shifting of metabolism favoring glycolysis for generation of biosynthetic metabolic intermediates and (II) large scale changes in gene expression including the upregulation of the antimicrobial enzyme inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) which produces the toxic gas nitric oxide (NO). Historically, acute metabolic reprogramming and NO-mediated effects on cellular metabolism have been studied at specific timepoints during the DC activation process, namely at times before and after NO production. However, no formal method of real time detection of NO-mediated effects on DC metabolism have been fully described. Here, using Real-Time Extracellular Flux Analysis, we experimentally establish the phenomenon of an NO-dependent mitochondrial respiration threshold, which shows how titration of an activating stimulus is inextricably linked to suppression of mitochondrial respiration in an NO-dependent manner. As part of this work, we explore the efficacy of two different iNOS inhibitors in blocking the iNOS reaction kinetically in real time and explore/discuss parameters and considerations for application using Real Time Extracellular Flux Analysis technology. In addition, we show, the temporal relationship between acute metabolic reprogramming and NO-mediated sustained metabolic reprogramming kinetically in single real-time assay. These findings provide a method for detection of NO-mediated metabolic effects in DCs and offer novel insight into the timing of the DC activation process with its associated key metabolic events, revealing a better understanding of the nuances of immune cell biology.

Defence Responses Associated with Elicitor-Induced, Cultivar-Associated Resistance to Latania Scale in Kiwifruit.

Project description:Latania scale insect is a pest of global significance affecting kiwifruit. The sessile insect (life stage: settled crawler-mature adult) is covered with a waxy cap that protects it from topical pesticides, so increasingly, a selection of resistant cultivars and application of elicitors are being used in pest control. Thus far, the application of a salicylic acid (SA) phytohormone pathway elicitor, acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), has been shown to reduce insect development (as indicated by cap size) on one kiwifruit cultivar ('Hayward'). To investigate how cultivar-associated resistance is affected by the ability to respond to different elicitors, we measured phytohormones (by LCMS) and gene expression (by qPCR and NanoString) on latania scale-tolerant 'Hort16A' and susceptible 'Hayward' kiwifruit over two seasons. Potted plants in the presence/absence of settled latania scales were treated with ASM (0.2 g/L) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA, 0.05% v/v), representing elicitors of the SA and JA signalling pathways, respectively. 'Hort16A' cultivar resistance to latania scale was associated with elevated expression of SA and SA-related defence genes (PR1 and two PR2 family genes) in the ASM treatment. MeJA treatments did not significantly affect insect development in 'Hayward' (latania scale did not survive on 'Hort16A') and did not correlate with phytohormone and gene expression measurements in either cultivar. 'Hayward' had greater concentrations than 'Hort16A' of inert storage forms of both SA and JA across all treatments. This information contributes to the selection of tolerant cultivars and the effective use of elicitors for control of latania scale in kiwifruit.

Catalytic selectivity of metallophthalocyanines for electrochemical nitric oxide sensing.

Project description:The catalytic properties of metallophthalocyanine (MPc) complexes have long been applied to electrochemical sensing of nitric oxide (NO) to amplify sensitivity and reduce the substantial overpotential required for NO oxidation. The latter point has significant ramifications for in situ amperometric detection, as large working potentials oxidize biological interferents (e.g., nitrite, L-ascorbate, and carbon monoxide). Herein, we sought to isolate and quantify, for the first time, the selectivity benefits of MPc modification of glassy carbon electrodes. A series of the most catalytically active MPc complexes towards NO, including Fe(II)Pc, Co(II)Pc, Ni(II)Pc, and Zn(II)Pc, was selected and probed for NO sensing ability under both differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and constant potential amperometry (CPA). Data from DPV measurements provided information with respect to MPc signal sensitivity amplification (~1.5×) and peak shifting (100-200 mV). Iron-Pc exerted the most specific catalytic activity towards NO over nitrite. Catalyst-enabled reduction of the working potential under CPA was found to improve selectivity for NO over high potential interferents, regardless of MPc. However, impaired selectivity against low potential interferents was also noted.

Delayed effects of transcriptional responses in Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposed to nitric oxide suggest other mechanisms involved in survival.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis has succeeded as a human pathogen for tens of thousands of years thanks to its ability to resist and adapt to the adverse conditions it encounters upon infection. Bacterial adaptation to stress is commonly viewed in the context of transcriptional regulation, with the implicit expectation that an initial transcriptomic response is tightly coupled to an ensuing proteomic response. However, after challenging M. tuberculosis with nitric oxide we found that the rapid transcriptional responses, detectable within minutes of nitric oxide exposure, typically took several hours to manifest on the protein level. Furthermore, early proteomic responses were dominated by the degradation of a set of proteins, specifically those containing damaged iron-sulphur clusters. Overall, our findings are consistent with transcriptional responses participating mostly in late-stage recovery rather than in generating an immediate resistance to nitric oxide stress, suggesting that survival of M. tuberculosis under acute stress is contingent on mechanisms other than transcriptional regulation. These findings provide a revised molecular understanding of an important human pathogen.

In situ electrochemical generation of nitric oxide for neuronal modulation.

Project description:Understanding the function of nitric oxide, a lipophilic messenger in physiological processes across nervous, cardiovascular and immune systems, is currently impeded by the dearth of tools to deliver this gaseous molecule in situ to specific cells. To address this need, we have developed iron sulfide nanoclusters that catalyse nitric oxide generation from benign sodium nitrite in the presence of modest electric fields. Locally generated nitric oxide activates the nitric oxide-sensitive cation channel, transient receptor potential vanilloid family member 1 (TRPV1), and the latency of TRPV1-mediated Ca2+ responses can be controlled by varying the applied voltage. Integrating these electrocatalytic nanoclusters with multimaterial fibres allows nitric oxide-mediated neuronal interrogation in vivo. The in situ generation of nitric oxide in the ventral tegmental area with the electrocatalytic fibres evoked neuronal excitation in the targeted brain region and its excitatory projections. This nitric oxide generation platform may advance mechanistic studies of the role of nitric oxide in the nervous system and other organs.

Detection of low levels of nitric oxide using an electrochemical sensor.

Project description:Nitric oxide produced from nitric oxide synthases mediates various physiological and pathological events in biological systems. However, quantitative assessment of nitric oxide from biological sources remains a difficult task. Here we describe a procedure for the quantification of low levels of nitric oxide using a nitric oxide - selective electrochemical sensor. Nitric oxide is oxidized to nitrite and/or nitrate and accumulated in the aqueous media. First, nitrate in biological fluids or culture media is converted to nitrite by an enzymatic method. Nitrite is then chemically converted to equimolar NO in an acidic iodide bath, where nitric oxide is detected by the sensor. Using this method, the present study demonstrates siRNA -mediated suppression of nitric oxide synthase 3 leading to a significant decline of basal nitric oxide production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Basal nitric oxide production from HUVECs is also shown to be inhibited by N (G)-nitro-L: -arginine methyl ester but not by N (G)-nitro-D: -arginine methyl ester (D-NAME) D-NAME . The analytical method presented here provides a sensitive and convenient tool for measuring basal and stimulated nitric oxide production from biological sources.

Selective and Sensocompatible Electrochemical Nitric Oxide Sensor with a Bilaminar Design.

Project description:Macrophages mediate mammalian inflammation in part by the release of the gasotransmitter, nitric oxide (NO). Electrochemical methods represent the best means of direct, continuous measurement of NO, but monitoring continuous release from immunostimulated macrophages remains analytically challenging. Long release durations necessitate consistent sensor performance (i.e., sensitivity and selectivity for NO) in proteinaceous media. Herein, we describe the fabrication of an electrochemical sensor modified by an electropolymerized 5-amino-1-naphthol (poly(5A1N)) film in conjunction with a fluorinated xerogel topcoat. The unique combination of these membranes ensures selective detection of NO that is maintained over extended periods of use (>24 h) in biological media without performance deterioration. The hydrophobic xerogel topcoat protects the underlying NO-selective poly(5A1N) film from hydration-induced desorption. The bilaminar sensor is then readily adapted for measurement of the temporal NO-release profiles from immunostimulated macrophages.

Dissecting physiological and transcriptional responses of nitric oxide to drought stress by increasing in vivo nitric oxide content in Arabidopsis

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in all major environmental stresses. However, most of these understandings were mainly based on pharmacological study using NO modulator compounds. Recently, our studies together with others provided a new class of plant experimental system with specific in vivo NO release through constitutively overexpressing rat neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) in plants. In this study, we found that the nNOS transgenic Arabidopsis plants displayed lower level of H2O2 content, but higher levels of antioxidant enzyme activities and osmolytes under drought stress conditions. Transcriptomic analysis identified 490 and 20 genes that were differentially expressed in wild type (WT) and nNOS transgenic plants under control and drought stress conditions, respectively. Pathway analysis revealed that many genes involved in photosynthesis, cell, misc, co-factor and vitamin metabolism, major CHO metabolism, OPP and secondary metabolism were largely changed in nNOS vs. WT under control or drought stress conditions. Interestingly, CBF1/2 and 13 zinc finger family proteins, known as important family of transcription regulators in modulating several stress-responsive genes, were differentially expressed by nNOS transgenic effect. Additionally, some genes were commonly regulated by nNOS transgenic and abscisic acid (ABA) effects, indicating new insights to cross-talk between ABA and NO. Taken together, in vivo NO modulated antioxidant enzyme activities, osmolyte level, and the expression of genes involved in several pathways, thereby resulting in enhanced stress tolerance in nNOS transgenic plants. These observations might provide some insights to understand the physiological and molecular mechanisms of NO in response to drought stress in Arabidopsis.
