Project description:For environmental safety, the high concentration of heavy metals in the soil should be removed. Cadmium (Cd), one of the heavy metals polluting the soil while its concentration exceeds 3.4 mg/kg in soil. Potential use of cotton for remediating heavy Cd-polluted soils is available while its molecular mechanisms of Cd tolerance remains unclear in cotton. In this study, transcriptome analysis was used to identify the Cd tolerance genes and their potential mechanism in cotton. Finally 4,627 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the root, 3,022 DEGs in the stem and 3,854 DEGs in leaves were identified through RNA-Seq analysis, respectively. These genes contained heavy metal transporter genes (ABC, CDF, HMA, etc.), annexin genes, heat shock genes (HSP) amongst others. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly involved in the oxidation-reduction process and metal ion binding. The DEGs mainly enriched in two pathways, the influenza A and the pyruvate pathway. GhHMAD5 protein, containing a heavy-metal domain, was identified in the pathway to transport or to detoxify the heavy ion. GhHMAD5-overexpressed plants of Arabidopsis thaliana showed the longer roots compared with the control. Meanwhile, GhHMAD5-silenced cotton plants showed more sensitive to Cd stress compared with the control. The results indicated that GhHMAD5 gene is remarkably involved in Cd tolerance, which gives us a preliminary understanding of Cd tolerance mechanisms in upland cotton. Overall, this study provides valuable information for the use of cotton to remediate the soil polluted with heavy metals.

Project description:Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is a metal resistant beta-proteobacterium. The genome of this bacterium contain many genes involved in heavy metal resistance. Gene expression of C. metallidurans was studied after the addition of of Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Hg(II) or Co(II). Keywords: Heavy metal stress response Cultures of C. metallidurans CH34 were grown at 30°C until OD reached 0.6 (mid- exponential phase cultures). Heavy metals (0.8 mM of Zn(II), 0.5 mM of Cd(II), 0.1 mM of Cu(II), 0.6 mM of Ni(II), 0.4 mM of Pb(II), 5 uM of Hg(II) and 0.5 mM of Co(II)) were added to the culture for 30 minutes induction time. Total RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed and labeled with Cy3-dCTP for the control (without metal) and with Cy5-dCTP for each conditions (challenged with one metal). Labeled cDNA were (control and one condition) added to a spotted slide for overnight hybridization at 42°C. Slides were scanned with a laser at 532 and 635 nm.

Project description:Plant growth is severely affected by toxic concentrations of the non-essential heavy metal cadmium (Cd). Comprehensive transcriptome analysis by RNA-Seq following cadmium exposure is required to further understand plant responses to Cd and facilitate future systems-based analyses of the underlying regulatory networks. In this study, rice plants were hydroponically treated with 50 µM Cd for 24 hours. In total, ~60,000 transcripts, including transcripts that could not be characterized by microarray-based approaches, were evaluated and ~36,000 transcripts were responsive to Cd exposure. Among multigenic families that may protect cells from generated ROS and reduce Cd toxicity, prominently upregulated antioxidant enzyme genes were identified. Furthermore, 168 different metal ion transporter genes, which might mediate the transport of transition Cd, responded to Cd exposure. qRT-PCR analysis of randomly selected genes indicated that their expression changed obviously after exposure to various heavy metal stresses. The Cd responsive genes included many abiotic stress (drought, high-salinity, low temperature) responsive genes. Based on further investigation into the expression patterns of abiotic stress regulatory genes such as DREB, part of the signal transduction pathway for Cd exposure was determined to cross-talk with abiotic stress signaling pathways. Our results provide useful information for further studies of the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to Cd exposure and the improvement of Cd tolerance in crop species.

Project description:The mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation in primary producers and the damage and stress response induced by heavy metals is not well understood. We used UHTS to analyze the transcriptomic response of Elodea nuttallii to heavy metal pollution. We exposed shoots of E. nuttallii for 24 h to increasing concentrations of Hg and Cd. Using Illumina RNA-Seq, we have generated over 50 million 54 nt paired end reads and 14 million single end reads, which we used for de novo assembly of the E. nuttallii transcriptome.

Project description:From the result of comparative the gene expression analyses of human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 following exposures of three heavy metals; arsenic, cadmium and nickel and three carcinogens; N-dimethylnitrosoamine (DMN), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and tetrachloroethylene (TCE), 31-55% of the genes altered by As, Cd and Ni exposure were overlapped with those by three model carcinogen exposures in our experiments. In particular, three heavy metals shared certain characteristics with TPA and TCE in remarkable up-regulations of the genes associated with progression of cell cycle, which might play a central role in heavy metal carcinogenesis. In addition, this characteristic of gene expressions alteration was counteracted by intracellular accumulation of vitamine C in As-exposed cells but not in Cd- and Ni-exposed cells. These results suggest that the cell proliferative responses are caused by reactive oxygen species mainly in As exposure, while other mechanisms would be involved in these responses in Cd and Ni exposures. Experiment Overall Design: In this study, we examined the gene expression alteration in human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 following exposures of three heavy metals; arsenic, cadmium and nickel and three carcinogens; N-dimethylnitrosoamine (DMN), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and tetrachloroethylene (TCE) using DNA microarray with 8795 human genes. Furthermore, we also performed the DNA microarray analyses for the heavy metal exposed-cells that were loaded with vitamine C beforehand to examine the effects of antioxidant molecule to heavy metal exposures.

Project description:We hypothesize that microarray-based analysis of Lycopersicon esculentum is a sensitive tool for the early detection of potential toxicity of heavy metals, as well as an effective tool for identifying the heavy metal-specific genes. To test the hypothesis, the Agilent whole-genome cDNA microarrays were used to assess the effects of heavy metal on L. esculentum at relatively low concentrations (1/10 LC50 of heavy metals). Results showed that the characteristic gene expression profiles induced by Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb were not only distinct from the control but also distinct from one another, demonstrating the feasibility of discriminating between the effects of these four heavy metals present at relatively low concentrations. Moreover, heavy metal-specific genes were identified by microarray analysis. These findings support the above hypothesis.

A total of fifteen microarrays (4*44K tomato gene expression microarray; G2519F-022270) were used to hybridize with RNA extracted from Cd-, Cr-, Hg-, Pb-treated and the untreated roots (control) of Lycopersicon esculentum. Each treatment was carried out for three replicates. A total of thirty seedlings were used for each treatment. Root samples from ten seedlings randomly selected from each Petri dish were pooled together to obtain three biological replicates.
