Project description:Tomato, a Strategy I model plant for Fe deficiency, is an important economical crop. The transcriptional responses induced by Fe deficiency in tomato roots were previously described (Zamboni et al., 2012). The changes in trascriptome caused by the supply of Fe to plants starved fro 1 week were described in relation to the different nature of chelating agents (Fe-WEHS, Fe-CITRATE and Fe-PS).

Transcriptional profile obtained by roots (27-d) of 21-d-old tomato plants starved of iron (0 μM Fe-EDTA) for 1 week and supplied for 1 h with 1 μM of Fe as Fe-WEHS (supply_Fe_WEHS), Fe citrate (supply_Fe_CITRATE) and Fe-PS (supply_Fe_PS). Tomato plants were hydroponically grown in all three case of Fe supply. Three different biological replicates were used for each sample repeating the experiment three times. All samples were obtained pooling roots of six plants (27-d-old).

Project description:There is still a lot of contradiction on whether metal ions are solely responsible for the observed the toxicity of ZnO and CuO nanoparticles to aquatic species. While most tests have studied nanoparticle effects at organismal levels (e.g. mortality, reproduction), effects at suborganismal levels may clarify the role of metal ions, nanoparticles and nanoparticle aggregates. In this study, the effect of ZnO, CuO nanoparticles and zinc, copper salts was tested on the gene expression levels in Daphnia magna. D. magna was exposed during 96 hours to 10% immobilization concentrations of all chemicals, after which daphnids were sampled for a differential gene expression analysis using microarray. When comparing the nanoparticle exposed daphnids (ZnO or CuO) to the metal salt exposed daphnids (zinc or copper salt), the microarray results showed no significantly differentially expressed genes. These results indicate that the toxicity of the tested ZnO and CuO nanoparticles to D. magna caused is solely caused by toxic metal ions. 4 replicate exposures of ZnO nanoparticles, ZnCl2, Blank (for Zn); 4 replicate exposures of CuO nanoparticles, CuCl2.2H2O, Blank (for Cu); Individual reference design with swapped dyes for zinc (e.g. ZnO-REFZn; REFZn-bl) and copper exposure (e.g. CuO-REFCu; REFCu-bl); Zinc reference sample is a mixture of equal aliquots of ZnO nanoparticle, ZnCl2 and blank; Copper reference sample is a mixture of equal aliquots of CuO nanoparticle, CuCl2.2H2O and blank

Project description:Iron (Fe) deficiency is a yield-limiting factor for a variety of field crops across the world and generally results from the interaction of limited soil Fe bioavailability and susceptible genotype cultivation. Tomato, a Strategy I, model plant for Fe deficiency, is an important economical crop. Tomato responses in order to improve Fe uptake are based on acidification of rhizosphere, reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ and transport of Fe2+ into the cells.

Project description:ZnO nanoparticles can elicit a range of perturbed cell responses in vitro. The liver is a target for ZnO nanoparticle-, or Zn2+ released from ZnO nanoparticles-induced accumulation and/or impact in vitro and in vivo. The response of human hepatic stellate cells to ZnO nanoparticles has not yet been assessed. We aimed to determine whether the presence of surface coatings could protect human hepatic stellate cells from ZnO nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity.

Tomato responses in order to improve Fe uptake are based on acidification of rhizosphere, reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ and transport of Fe2+ into the cells. Transcriptional profile obtained by roots (27-d) of 21-d-old tomato plants starved of iron for an additional week was compared with the transcriptional profile obtained for roots (27-d) of 21-d-old tomato plants grown for an additional week at 100 M-NM-<M Fe. Tomato plants were hydroponically grown in both cases. Three different biological replicates were used for each sample repeating the experiment three times. All samples were obtained pooling roots of six plants (27-d-old).

The liver is a target for ZnO nanoparticle-, or Zn2+ released from ZnO nanoparticles-induced accumulation and/or impact in vitro and in vivo. The response of human hepatic stellate cells to ZnO nanoparticles has not yet been assessed. We aimed to determine whether the presence of surface coatings could protect human hepatic stellate cells from ZnO nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity. Primary human hepatic stellate cells were treated with one of two types of uncoated ZnO nanoparticles (Z-COTE or Nanosun), two types of coated ZnO nanoparticles (HP1, MAX), a mass equivalent of ZnSO4, or were left untreated. After 24 h, RNA was isolated and processed for whole genome transcriptional profiling, comparing the expresson profiles of treated cells to the untreated controls. Each treatment was prepared in duplicate.

Project description:An antivirulence approach targets bacterial virulence rather than cell viability in the antibiotic approach that can readily lead to drug resistance. Opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a variety of virulence factors, and biofilm cells of this bacterium are much more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic cells. To identify novel inorganic antivirulence compounds, the dual screenings of thirty-six metal ions were performed to identify that zinc ions and ZnO nanoparticle inhibited the pyocyanin production and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa without affecting the growth of planktonic cells. Moreover, zinc ion and ZnO nanoparticle markedly reduced the production of 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone and siderophore pyochelin, while increased the production of another sideropore pyoverdine and swarming motility. Further, zinc ion and ZnO nanoparticle clearly suppressed hemolytic activity in P. aeruginosa. Transcriptome analyses showed that ZnO nanoparticle induced zinc cation efflux pump czc operon, porin genes (oprD and opdT), and Pseudomonas type III repressor A ptrA, while repressed pyocyanin-related phz operon, which partially explains the phenotypic changes. Overall, ZnO nanoparticle is a potential candidate for use in an antivirulence approach against persistent P. aeruginosa infection.

Overall, ZnO nanoparticle is a potential candidate for use in an antivirulence approach against persistent P. aeruginosa infection. P. aeruginosa Genechip Genome Array (Affymetrix, P/N 900339) was used in order to study the cells after the addition of ZnO nanoparticles. DNA microarray analysis with one biological replicate was performed with an Affymetrix system. P. aeruginosa was inoculated in 25 ml of LB medium in 250 ml shaker flasks with overnight cultures (1 : 100 dilution). Cells were cultured for 5 h with shaking at 250 rpm with and without ZnO nanoparticles (1 mM). Before sample collection, RNase inhibitor (RNAlater, Ambion, TX, USA) was added, and the cells were immediately chilled with dry ice and 95% ethanol (to prevent RNA degradation) for 30 s before centrifugation at 16,000 g for 2 min. The cell pellets were immediately frozen with dry ice and stored at –80°C. Total RNA was isolated using a Qiagen RNeasy mini Kit (Valencia, CA, USA).
