Project description:Sulphur is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Reaching a thorough understanding of the molecular basis for changes in plant metabolism depending on the sulphur-nutritional status at the systems level will advance our basic knowledge and help target future crop improvement. Although the transcriptional responses induced by sulphate starvation have been studied in the past, knowledge of the regulation of sulphur metabolism is still fragmentary. This work focuses on the discovery of candidates for regulatory genes such as transcription factors (TFs) using M-bM-^@M-^Xomics technologies. For this purpose a short term sulphate-starvation / re-supply approach was used. ATH1 microarray studies and metabolite determinations yielded 21 TFs which responded more than 2-fold at the transcriptional level to sulphate starvation. Categorization by response behaviors under sulphate-starvation / re-supply and other nutrient starvations such as nitrate and phosphate allowed determination of whether the TF genes are specific for or common between distinct mineral nutrient depletions. Extending this co-behavior analysis to the whole transcriptome data set enabled prediction of putative downstream genes. Additionally, combinations of transcriptome and metabolome data allowed identification of relationships between TFs and downstream responses, namely, expression changes in biosynthetic genes and subsequent metabolic responses. Effect chains on glucosinolate and polyamine biosynthesis are discussed in detail. The knowledge gained from this study provides a blueprint for an integrated analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics and application for the identification of uncharacterized genes. Arabidopsis seedlings were grown in 30 mL of sterile liquid full nutrition (FN) medium (3 mM sulphate) or 150 M-NM-<M sulphate medium. Transferring pre-grown 7-days old seedlings to a sulphate depleted medium (0 M-NM-<M sulphate) assured immediate and continued sulphate starvation during the next two days of plant cultivation. On day 9 subsets of the sulphate depleted cultures were supplied with sulphate (500 M-NM-<M) and samples taken 30 min and 3 hours after re-supply. Four time points (full nutrition (FN), plants starved for 48 h (-S), plants re-supplied with sulphate for 30 minutes (30M-bM-^@M-^Y S) and plants re-supplied with sulphate for 3 hours (3 h S)) were subjected to the microarray analysis. Two biological repetitions of each sample were analyzed.

Project description:Macropinocytosis is an effective strategy against nutrient starvation, which fuels cancer cells grow in nutrient-limited conditions. However, whether and how macropinocytosis contributes to the rapid proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells that frequently exhibit inadequate nutrient supply remains unclear. Here, we reveal that nutrient starvation strongly induced macropinocytosis in some hepatocellular carcinoma cells, which allowed the cells to acquire extracellular nutrients and support energy supply to maintain rapid proliferation. Furthermore, we determined that the phospholipid flippase ATP9A was critical for regulating macropinocytosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and that high ATP9A levels predicted poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma. ATP9A interacted with ATP6V1A and facilitated its transport to the plasma membrane, which promoted plasma membrane cholesterol accumulation and subsequently drove RAC1-dependent macropinocytosis. Importantly, macropinocytosis inhibitors significantly suppressed the energy supply and proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells characterized by high ATP9A expression under nutrient-limited conditions. These results revealed a novel route to overcome nutrient starvation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and identify the key regulator of macropinocytosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Ectomycorrhizal fungi are dependent on host trees for carbon supply. In return ectomycorrhizal fungi supply trees with water and nutrients. It is known that when ectomycorrhizal fungi have exploited a nutrient rich patch in soil, the carbon allocation to mycelia in that patch is reduced, with the consequence of mycelia dying, but less is known of the dynamics of this senescence. We cultivated the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus in an axenic system. We collected growth and transcriptome data at different stages of carbon starvation during fungal growth. Carbon starvation induced a decrease in fungal biomass, which coincided with the release of NH4+ and the expression of genes connected with autophagy as well as protease and chitinase activity. Monoaromatic compounds, chitin and protease activity was detected in the liquid growth media during carbon starvation. The exudation of NH4+ and increase of monoaromatic compound during C starvation suggests senescence and autolysis of P. involutus. Together with the upregulation of genes involved in autophagy, chitinase and endopeptidase activity this points towards a controlled senescence including recycling of compounds originating from the fungi. Reduced C allocation to ectomycorrhizal mycelia in recently depleted nutrient patches in forest soils must be of ubiquitous nature. Understanding the mechanisms during exploitation of nutrients by ectomycorrhizal fungi is of great importance for understanding carbon and nutrient dynamics in forest soils. This is to our knowledge the first study describing the carbon starvation response in an ectomycorrhizal fungus.

Project description:In comparison with provision of either ammonium or nitrate alone, simultaneously supplying both forms of N results in superior growth and yield for the majority of plants including rice. Using a rice 22K oligo-array, we performed transcriptome analysis to identify genes of rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) responsive to change of N-supply forms and N-starvation. Using the supply of ammonium nitrate (one to one molar ratio) as control, the total number of root genes that were equal or more than two fold up- or down- regulated was 445, 324, and 781 by upon supply of either ammonium or nitrate or continuous N starvation, respectively for 96 h. In the shoot the equivalent numbers were much smaller only 32, 58, and 165, respectively. Clustering of the rice genes associated with different environmental stresses revealed substantial organ specificity of the root and shoot to N starvation, and also to the N supply form. Genes encoding transporters for ammonium and nitrate, nitrate reductase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and aspartate amino transferase, showed great response to change of the N supply form, especially to N starvation. Some of the genes involved in chlorophyll metabolism, carbon fixation and assimilation, were enhanced by ammonium supply only, but significantly suppressed by N-starvation. In the shoot there was increased expression of more general stress genes under nitrate when compared to ammonium nutrition. In the root the reverse situation was true with more apparent stress under ammonium nutrition. The microarray approach has revealed new levels of complexity in the response of rice to the form of N supply. Experiment Overall Design: Rice seedlings were grown in a hydroponic system in a growth chamber with control of both temperature and light. After normal growth for two weeks and for one week with completely avoiding any N source, the plants at four and a half leaf stage were re-supplied with ammonium nitrate (equal amount of either form of N), or only ammonium (ammonium sulphate and ammonium chloride), or only nitrate (calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate), and continuing at zero N (N starvation). All the other essential nutrients were the same for all four treatments, except for sulfate and chloride which ranged between 1.1 â 2.6 mM and 0.5 â 2.5 mM, respectively. In Arabidopsis, addition of 3 mM Cl to âcontrolsâ did not produce any changes in the expression of genes in an experiment investigating the re-supply of 3 mM nitrate (Scheible et al., 2004). In other microarray experiments, extra addition of 5 mM Cl for Arabidopsis (Wang et al., 2000; Wang et al., 2004) and 1.4 mM sulphate for tomato (Wang et al., 2001) were used to replace nitrate for identifying the N deprivation responsive genes. Therefore, we assume that the relative smaller difference in sulfate and chloride concentrations among the four treatments in the normal supply range for plants would not significantly affect the expression profile of genes responsible for changes in N supply form and starvation in our experiments. Experiment Overall Design: For identifying the genes responding to the various N conditions by micro-array analysis, we extracted total RNA respectively from the roots and shoots at the 96 h after initiation of the four respective treatments. We used amplified and labeled cRNA from ammonium nitrate treatment as control, we performed array-hybridization for the cRNA from the treatment of single ammonium form, single nitrate form, or continuous N depletion, respectively. Agilent 60-mer oligonucleotide arrays containing 21,938 unique transcription units (Agilent Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) were used. Two biological replicates of each treatment were performed for microarray analyses.

Project description:Background All animals must be able to adapt to changes in nutrient quality and supply. One striking aspect of this adaptive response is the extension of lifespan when caloric intake is reduced. These animals are also more resistant to various stresses, including starvation. We have characterized the response of adult Drosophila males and females to starvation and sugar conditions using high density microarrays. Results We have organized the regulated genes into specific metabolic and physiologic pathways. Most of the highly regulated genes have a strong sex bias. In addition to expected sex specific changes, such as egg production in females, we found unexpected biases in sensory systems, amino acid and purine metabolism, and signaling pathways. Comparison of starvation to caloric restriction revealed numerous overlaps. Conclusions Our results support the notion that starvation response shares similarities to caloric restriction. They have relevance for sex specific differences in longevity and in response to nutrient conditions which alter lifespan. Nutrient Conditions and Fly handling Larvae were kept on apple juice agar plates with yeast, and the larvae were raised at 25°C. For the developmental control larvae were collected 39-41 h AEL, for the developmental time-points at 51-53 hours and every 12 hours until 99-101 hours. Adult flies were kept at 25°C in 50 ml PS-tubes flat bottom (Greiner bio-one, Frickenhausen, Germany) on standard fly food (16.5 g yeast, 81,5 g cornmeal, 8 g agar, 100 ml sugar beet sirup and 200 ml 10% Nipagin in EtOH). Flies were collected that had hatched in 24 hours and kept in groups of ~200 flies/tube. After 5 days we separated males and females and put them in groups of 80/28 ml PS-tube. We allowed for one day CO2 recovery on standard fly food before flies were moved to 1) tubes with yeast paste on PBS soaked filter paper (control) 2) tubes with only PBS soaked filter paper (starvation) or 3) tubes with filter paper soaked in PBS with 20% Sucrose (sugar). After 24 or 48 hours flies were shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80°C for further handling. Males and females were assayed separately. For females, we performed 24 and 48 starvation, and 24 and 48 hours sugar. For the males only 24 hour starvation was done, since most died upon 48 hour starvation; and 24 and 48 hour sugar. Briefly, flies were collected within a 24 hour period, allowed to stay together for 4 days, separated into males and females, and allowed one day recovery in normal fly food. Afterwards, the flies were placed into three conditions: fresh yeast plus PBS, PBS or PBS plus 20 % sucrose. These experiments essentially parallel the experimental set up of previous larval experiments (7). The starvation and PBS were then compared with yeast (control).

Project description:The kinases mTORC1 and AMPK are at the nexus of nutrient responses and control of cellular growth. However, responses to nutrient loss are complex and affect multiple transcriptional pathways. We are interested in the mTORC1-directed regulation of transcription networks that specifically regulate developmental decisions. Dictyostelium grow logarithmically as single cells in nutrient-rich media, but, upon nutrient withdrawal, growth ceases and cells enter a program for multi-cellular development. Within 30 minutes of starvation, >4,000 genes show significant (p<0.05) changes in gene expression patterns. However, we hypothesize that not all these gene changes are required for development and that many expression changes reflect stress response to a media shift supplementary to nutrient loss, apart from developmental effects. We, thus, sought ways to promote development in the absence of nutrient loss, to better focus on developmentally essential gene sets. Since kinases mTORC1 and AMPK function as nutrient and energy sensors, we first examined their relative activities in Dictyostelium during phases of rapid growth and starvation-induced development. We found that these kinases exhibited reciprocal patterns of activation under various conditions. With this knowledge, we identified rich media conditions that permitted rapid cell growth, but a growth/development switch upon the directed and reciprocal inactivation/activation of mTORC1/AMPK. Examination of gene expression under conditions of development in nutrient-rich media indicated that changes in expression of most starvation-regulated genes were not required for development. Our data suggest that the up-regulation of ~300 genes defines essential early signaling pathways for developmental induction, integrating cAMP/PKA circuitries and including many unclassified genes.

Project description:Algal photo-bio hydrogen production, a promising method for producing clean and renewable fuel in the form of hydrogen gas, has been studied extensively over the last few decades. In this study, microarray analyses were used to obtain a global expression profile of mRNA abundance in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii at five different time points before the onset and during the course of sulphur depleted hydrogen production. The present work confirms previous findings on the impacts of sulphur deprivation but also provides new insights into photosynthesis, sulphur assimilation and carbon metabolism under sulphur starvation towards hydrogen production. For instance, while a general trend towards repression of transcripts encoding photosynthetic genes was observed, the abundance of Lhcbm9 (encoding a major light harvesting polypeptide) and LhcSR1 (encoding a chlorophyll binding protein) was strongly elevated throughout the experiment, suggesting remodeling of the photosystem II light harvesting complex as well as an important function of Lhcbm9 under sulphur starvation. This study presents the first global transcriptional analysis of C. reinhardtii during hydrogen production using five major time points at Peak Oxygen, Mid Oxygen, Zero Oxygen, Mid Hydrogen and Peak Hydrogen. Keywords: Time course, sulfur deprivation, hydrogen production.

Project description:Shoot zinc (Zn) in Brassica oleracea is affected by soil Zn and phosphorus (P) concentrations. Most problematic is the negative impact of P fertilizers on Zn concentrations in crops, which makes balancing yield and mineral quality challenging. To evaluate molecular mechanisms involved in the accumulation of large shoot Zn concentrations regardless of the P supply, two B. oleracea accessions were grown hydroponically for two weeks with different combination of P and Zn supply. Ionome profiling and deep RNA sequencing of roots revealed interactions of P and Zn in planta, without apparent phenotypic effects. In addition, increasing P supply did not reduce tissue Zn concentration. Substantial changes in gene expression in roots of both accessions ensured nutritionally sufficient P and Zn uptake. Numerous genes were differentially expressed after changing Zn or P supply and most of them were unique to only one accession, highlighting different strategies in achieving nutrient sufficiency. Thus, different gene networks responded to the changing P and Zn supply in the two accessions. Additionally, enrichment analysis of gene ontology classes revealed that genes involved in lipid metabolism, response to starvation, and anion transport mechanisms were most responsive to the contrasting P and Zn supply in both accessions. The results agreed with previously studies demonstrating alterations in P transport and phospholipid metabolism in response to reduced P supply. Knowledge of genes responsive to P or Zn supply will help illuminate the interactions between these elements in their uptake and accumulation by plants and might highlight candidate genes for breeding high-yield-high-Zn crops.
