水分胁迫诱导玉米叶片质外体产生H2O2机理

通过组织化学染色、电镜观察、酶活性分析对水分胁迫诱导玉米叶片质外体产生H2O2进行了研究。结果表明:水分胁迫能够诱导玉米叶片内源ABA的积累,ABA参与了水分胁迫诱导的玉米叶片H2O2的产生,质膜NADPH氧化酶、细胞壁过氧化物酶(POD)以及质外体多胺氧化酶(PAO)是水分胁迫诱导玉米细胞在质外体产生H2O2的来源,其中质膜NADPH氧化酶是主要来源;内源ABA的积累参与了水分胁迫激活的质膜NADPH氧化酶、细胞壁POD和质外体PAO活性的提高。研究认为,水分胁迫诱导玉米细胞在质外体产生H2O2可能是由于水分胁迫下内源ABA的积累通过激活质膜NADPH氧化酶、细胞壁POD以及质外体PAO的活性而实现的。     

烟草—烟草花叶病毒互作中的质膜NADPH氧化酶

以NN烟草(NicotianatabacumL.)品种“SamsunNN”(与烟草花叶病毒(TMV)发生非亲和互作)和普通烟草(N.tabacumL.)“3002”品种(与TMV发生亲和互作)叶片为材料,采用差速离心法和两相法制备密闭的正向型质膜(PM)囊泡。用SOD敏感的依赖于NADPH的Cytc的还原表示质膜NADPH氧化酶产生超氧阴离子(O-·2)的活性。加入0.01%TritonX_100可使酶活性提高约80%,证明NADPH结合位点在质膜电子载体蛋白胞质结构域上,而O-·2在质膜外侧生成,在反应过程中发生了跨质膜的电子传递。质膜NADPH氧化酶的活性可部分地被哺乳动物NADPH氧化酶的专一性抑制剂DPI(diphenyleneiodonium)抑制,最大抑制达70%。受TMV侵染后,NN烟草NADPH氧化酶活性显著升高,而普通烟草的酶活性基本不变。对质膜NADPH氧化酶在烟草_TMV互作早期活性氧生成和启动过敏反应中的作用展开讨论

脱乙酰壳多糖处理增加人参细胞皂苷的累积和皂苷合成关键酶基因的转录

脱乙酰壳多糖处理可以诱导人参细胞产生H2 O2 ,增加人参皂苷的累积 ,提高鲨烯合酶 (squalenesynthase,GSS)与鲨烯环氧酶 (squaleneepoxidase,GSE)基因的转录水平。质膜NADPH氧化酶的抑制剂DPI,H2 O2 的淬灭剂DMTU与DHC可以抑制脱乙酰壳多糖的这些效应 ,暗示脱乙酰壳多糖可以活化质膜NADPH氧化酶而产生H2 O2 ,H2 O2 进而作为第二信使诱导gss与gse基因转录以及皂苷的合成。质膜钙通道抑制剂LaCl3与内质网钙通道抑制剂RR ,以及蛋白激酶抑制剂K2 5 2a都能削弱脱乙酰壳多糖促进皂苷积累和gss、gse转录的效应 ,说明胞内Ca2 浓度的升高与蛋白质磷酸化都参与了脱乙酰壳多糖诱导的gss、gse的转录以及皂苷的合成     

胞外H2O2及NADPH氧化酶参与了铜胁迫对植物细胞死亡的诱导

以烟草悬浮细胞BY-2(Nicotiana tabacum L.cv.Bright Yellow-2)为材料,探讨了在铜离子胁迫下植物细胞死亡发生过程中胞外H₂O₂及NADPH氧化酶所扮演的角色。实验结果表明,随着外源CuCl₂浓度的上升(从0~700 μmol·L^-1),细胞死亡水平不断上升,且胞外H₂O₂的水平也不断增加。在300 μmol·L^-1的CuCl₂诱导细胞死亡的过程中,加入H₂O₂清除剂N-N-二甲基硫脲(DMTU)降低了胞外CuCl₂胁迫下H₂O₂含量增加的同时也降低了细胞死亡水平的上升,这一观察表明了铜离子胁迫所导致的细胞死亡的发生和胞外H₂O₂的增加有关。进一步的研究表明,300 μmol·L^-1 CuCl₂的胁迫导致了NADPH氧化酶活性的显著性上升,而加入NADPH氧化酶的抑制剂（二亚苯基碘,DPI,)则降低了CuCl₂胁迫所导致的细胞死亡和胞外H₂O₂含量的上升。上述结果表明,胞外H₂O₂和NADPH氧化酶参与了CuCl₂对植物细胞死亡的诱导作用。     

灰斑古毒蛾口腔反吐物诱导沙冬青细胞Ca2+内流及H2O2积累

植物对昆虫取食活动进行成功防御的关键,取决于对昆虫口腔反吐物的激发子的快速识别。实验利用无损伤微测系统及激光共聚焦显微镜,研究了沙冬青细胞经灰斑古毒蛾口腔反吐物诱导后Ca2+流及H2O2的变化。结果发现:灰斑古毒蛾口腔反吐物诱导沙冬青细胞Ca2+内流及H2O2的积累,表明Ca2+内流及H2O2的积累是沙冬青细胞对口腔反吐物产生应答的早期响应事件;Ca2+钙通道阻断剂仅部分抑制Ca2+内流,说明Ca2+内流除经过质膜上的Ca2+通道进入细胞外,尚存在其他的内流途径;灰斑古毒蛾口腔反吐物中的某些成分与沙冬青细胞的质膜结合后,诱导质膜上形成允许Ca2+通过的孔道,而GdCl3不能抑制这类孔道的活性。胞外Ca2+螯合剂EGTA完全抑制H2O2的积累,GdCl3预处理仅部分抑制了H2O2的积累,说明灰斑古毒蛾诱导的沙冬青细胞内H2O2的积累依赖于Ca2+内流;抑制剂实验表明,H2O2的积累主要来源于质膜上NADPH氧化酶的作用。     

质膜上的活性氧制造者--NOX家族

NADPH氧化酶特异存在于吞噬细胞质膜,能生成用于清除病原微生物的活性氧（reactive oxygen species,ROS）。NOX是NADPH氧化酶催化亚基gp91^phox的同源物,存在于多种非吞噬细胞。目前发现的NOX有NOX1、NOX3、NOX4及NOX5,虽然它们有一定的组织特异性,但与NADPH氧化酶一样均有催化生成ROS的能力。与吞噬细胞中NADPH氧化酶所制造的ROS不同,NOX所产生的ROS并不主要起细胞防御功能,而是作为第二信使,参与细胞增殖、分化、凋亡的调节。此外,NOX对血管生成及骨吸收也有一定的影响,同时还可作为氧感受器调节促红细胞生成素（EPO）的产生。     

Ca2+位于H2O2上游参与H2S诱导的拟南芥气孔关闭过程

以拟南芥为材料,利用药理学实验,结合分光光度法和激光共聚焦显微技术,研究了Ca2+在硫化氢(H2S)诱导拟南芥气孔关闭过程中的作用及其与过氧化氢(H2O2)的关系。结果表明： H2S诱导气孔关闭, Ca2+螯合剂EGTA和质膜Ca2+通道阻断剂硝苯地平(Nif)能不同程度抑制H2S诱导的气孔关闭,而内质网钙泵阻断剂毒胡萝卜素(Thaps)对H2S的作用无显著影响。由此推测, Ca2+参与调节H2S诱导的拟南芥气孔关闭过程,且胞质中Ca2+来源于胞外Ca2+的内流。另外, H2S诱导拟南芥叶片NADPH氧化酶基因AtRBOHD和AtRBOHF以及细胞壁过氧化物酶基因AtPRX34表达增强,促进叶片和保卫细胞中H2O2积累, EGTA对此起抑制作用,而外源CaCl2处理上调AtRBOHD、AtRBOHF和AtPRX34的表达。表明Ca2+可能位于H2O2上游参与H2S诱导的拟南芥气孔关闭过程。     

Involvement of plasma-membrane NADPH oxidase in abscisic acid- and water stress-induced antioxidant defense in leaves of maize seedlings

The roles of the plasma-membrane (PM) NADPH oxidase in abscisic acid (ABA)- and water stress-induced antioxidant defense were investigated in leaves of maize ( Zea mays L.) seedlings. Treatment by exogenous ABA (100 micro M ABA) or osmotic stress (-0.7 MPa induced by polyethylene glycol) significantly increased the activity of the PM NADPH oxidase, the production of leaf O(2)(-), the activities of several antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase), and the contents of antioxidant metabolites (ascorbate and reduced glutathione). Pretreatment with three different inhibitors of NADPH oxidase (diphenylene iodonium, imidazole and pyridine) or an inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis (tungstate) reduced the increase in the activity of the PM NADPH oxidase and the production of leaf O(2)(-), and the capacity of antioxidant defense systems mediated by ABA. The inhibitory effects above caused by tungstate were reversed by exogenous ABA. These data indicate that NADPH oxidase is involved in the ABA-induced production of active oxygen species (AOS), and our results depict a minimal chain of events initiated by water stress-induced ABA accumulation, which then triggers the production of AOS by membrane-bound NADPH oxidase, resulting in the induction of antioxidant defense systems against oxidative damage in plants.     

Involvement of Polyamine Oxidase in Abscisic Acid induced Cytosolic Antioxidant Defense in Leaves of Maize

Using pharmacological and biochemical approaches, the role of maize polyamine oxidase (MPAO) in abscisic acid (ABA)induced antioxidant defense in leaves of maize (Zea mays L.) plants was investigated. Exogenous ABA treatment enhanced the expression of the MPAO gene and the activities of apoplastic MPAO. Pretreatment with two different inhibitors for apoplastic MPAO partly reduced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation induced by ABA and blocked the ABA-induced expression of the antioxidant genes superoxide dismutase 4 and cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase and the activities of the cytosolic antioxidant enzymes. Treatment with spermidine, the optimum substrate of MPAO, also induced the expression and the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, and the upregulation of the antioxidant enzymes was prevented by two inhibitors of MPAO and two scavengers of H2O2. These results suggest that MPAO contributes to ABA-induced cytosolic antioxidant defense through H2O2, a Spd catabolic product.     

Role of nitric oxide in abscisic acid-induced subcellular antioxidant defense of maize leaves

The sources of nitric oxide (NO) production in response to abscisic acid (ABA) and the role of NO in ABA-induced hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) accumulation and subcellular antioxidant defense in leaves of maize (Zea mays L.) plants were investigated. ABA induced increases in generation of NO and activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in maize leaves. Such increases were blocked by pretreatment with each of the two NOS inhibitors. Pretreatments with a NO scavenger or NR inhibitors inhibited ABA-induced increase in production of NO, but did not affect the ABA-induced increases in activity of NOS, indicating that ABA-induced NO production originated from sources of NOS and NR. ABA- and H(2)O(2)-induced increases in expression of the antioxidant genes superoxide dismutase 4 (SOD4), cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX), and glutathione reductase 1 (GR1) and the activities of the chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes were arrested by pretreatments with the NO scavenger, inhibitors of NOS and NR, indicating that NO is involved in the ABA- and H(2)O(2)-induced subcellular antioxidant defense reactions. On the other hand, NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) reduced accumulation of H(2)O(2) induced by ABA, and c-PTIO reversed the effect of SNP in decreasing the accumulation of H(2)O(2). SNP induced increases in activities of subcellular antioxidant enzymes, and the increases were substantially prevented from occurring by the pretreatment with c-PTIO. These results suggest that ABA induces production of H(2)O(2) and NO, which can up-regulate activities of the subcellular antioxidant enzymes, to prevent overproduction of H(2)O(2) in maize plants. There is a negative feedback loop between NO and H(2)O(2) in ABA signal transduction in maize plants.     

Abscisic acid-induced apoplastic H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> accumulation up-regulates the activities of chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes in maize leaves

The histochemical and cytochemical localization of abscisic acid (ABA)-induced H₂O₂ production in leaves of maize (Zea mays L.) plants were examined, using 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and CeCl₃ staining, respectively, and the relationship between ABA-induced H₂O₂ production and ABA-induced subcellular activities of antioxidant enzymes was studied. H₂O₂ generated in response to ABA treatment was detected within 0.5 h in major veins of the leaves and maximized at about 2–4 h. In mesophyll and bundle sheath cells, ABA-induced H₂O₂ accumulation was observed only in apoplast, and the greatest accumulation occurred in the walls of mesophyll cells facing large intercellular spaces. Meanwhile, ABA treatment led to a significant increase in the activities of the leaf chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR), and pretreatment with the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), the O ₂ ⁻ scavenger Tiron and the H₂O₂ scavenger dimethylthiourea (DMTU) almost completely arrested the increase in the activities of these antioxidant enzymes. Our results indicate that the accumulation of apoplastic H₂O₂ is involved in the induction of the chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, an oxidative stress induced by paraquat (PQ), which generates O ₂ ⁻ and then H₂O₂ in chloroplasts, also up-regulated the activities of the chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes, and the up-regulation was blocked by the pretreatment with Tiron and DMTU. These data suggest that H₂O₂ produced at a specific cellular site could coordinate the activities of antioxidant enzymes in different subcellular compartments.     

Abscisic acid-induced hydrogen peroxide is required for anthocyanin accumulation in leaves of rice seedlings

The role of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced anthocyanin accumulation in detached and intact leaves of rice seedlings was investigated. Treatment with ABA resulted in an accumulation of anthocyanins in detached rice leaves. Dimethylthiourea, a chemical trap for H(2)O(2), was observed to be effective in inhibiting ABA-induced accumulation of anthocyanins. Inhibitors of NADPH oxidase (diphenyleneiodonium chloride and imidazole), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (wortmannin and LY 294002), and a donor of nitric oxide (N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone), which have previously been shown to prevent ABA-induced H(2)O(2) accumulation in detached rice leaves, inhibited ABA-induced anthocyanin increase. Exogenous application of H(2)O(2), however, was found to increase the anthocyanin content of detached rice leaves. In terms of H(2)O(2) accumulation, intact (attached) leaves of rice seedlings of cultivar Taichung Native 1 (TN1) are ABA sensitive and those of cultivar Tainung 67 (TNG67) are ABA insensitive. Upon treatment with ABA, H(2)O(2) and anthocyanins accumulated in leaves of TN1 seedlings but not in leaves of TNG67. Our results, obtained from detached and intact leaves of rice seedlings, suggest that H(2)O(2) is involved in ABA-induced anthocyanin accumulation in this species.     

Mitogen-activated protein kinase is involved in abscisic acid-induced antioxidant defense and acts downstream of reactive oxygen species production in leaves of maize plants

The role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced antioxidant defense was investigated in leaves of maize (Zea mays) plants. Treatments with ABA or H(2)O(2) induced the activation of a 46-kD MAPK and enhanced the expression of the antioxidant genes CAT1, cAPX, and GR1 and the total activities of the antioxidant enzymes catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and superoxide dismutase. Such enhancements were blocked by pretreatment with several MAPK kinase inhibitors and reactive oxygen species inhibitors or scavengers. Pretreatment with MAPK kinase inhibitors also substantially arrested the ABA-induced H(2)O(2) production after 2 h of ABA treatment, but did not affect the levels of H(2)O(2) within 1 h of ABA treatment. Pretreatment with several inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase, which is believed to be a negative regulator of MAPK, only slightly prevented the ABA-induced H(2)O(2) production, but did not affect the ABA-induced MAPK activation and ABA-enhanced antioxidant defense systems. These results clearly suggest that MAPK but not protein tyrosine phosphatase is involved in the ABA-induced antioxidant defense, and a cross talk between H(2)O(2) production and MAPK activation plays a pivotal role in the ABA signaling. ABA-induced H(2)O(2) production activates MAPK, which in turn induces the expression and the activities of antioxidant enzymes. The activation of MAPK also enhances the H(2)O(2) production, forming a positive feedback loop.     

NADPH oxidase AtrbohD and AtrbohF genes function in ROS-dependent ABA signaling in Arabidopsis

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to function as second messengers in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in guard cells. However, the question whether ROS production is indeed required for ABA signal transduction in vivo has not yet been addressed, and the molecular mechanisms mediating ROS production during ABA signaling remain unknown. Here, we report identification of two partially redundant Arabidopsis guard cell-expressed NADPH oxidase catalytic subunit genes, AtrbohD and AtrbohF, in which gene disruption impairs ABA signaling. atrbohD/F double mutations impair ABA-induced stomatal closing, ABA promotion of ROS production, ABA-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) increases and ABA- activation of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-permeable channels in guard cells. Exogenous H(2)O(2) rescues both Ca(2+) channel activation and stomatal closing in atrbohD/F. ABA inhibition of seed germination and root elongation are impaired in atrbohD/F, suggesting more general roles for ROS and NADPH oxidases in ABA signaling. These data provide direct molecular genetic and cell biological evidence that ROS are rate-limiting second messengers in ABA signaling, and that the AtrbohD and AtrbohF NADPH oxidases function in guard cell ABA signal transduction.     

Hydrogen peroxide is necessary for abscisic acid-induced senescence of rice leaves

The role of H₂O₂ in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced rice leaf senescence is investigated. ABA treatment resulted in H₂O₂ production in rice leaves, which preceded the occurrence of leaf senescence. Dimethylthiourea, a chemical trap for H₂O₂, was observed to be effective in inhibiting ABA-induced senescence, ABA-increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content, ABA-increased antioxidative enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase and catalase), and ABA-decreased antioxidant contents (ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione) in rice leaves. Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) and imidazole (IMD), inhibitors of NADPH oxidase, and KCN and NaN₃, inhibitors of peroxidase, prevented ABA-induced H₂O₂ production, suggesting NADPH oxidase and peroxidase are H₂O₂-generating enzymes in ABA-treated rice leaves. DPI, IMD, KCN, and NaN₃ also inhibited ABA-promoted senescence, ABA-increased MDA contents, ABA-increased antioxidative enzyme activities, and ABA-decreased antioxidants in rice leaves. These results suggest that H₂O₂ is involved in ABA-induced senescence of rice leaves.     

在耐热性诱导中豌豆叶片过氧化氢和水杨酸含量与质膜ATP酶活性的变化及相互关系

在高温锻炼(37℃,2h)过程中,豌豆(Pisum sativum L.)叶片过氧化氢(H_2O_2)和游离态水杨酸(SA)含量与质膜ATP酶(H~ -ATPase)活性都有一个高峰,H_2O_2的迸发早于游离态SA的积累,而质膜H~ -ATPase活性高峰的出现则迟于SA高峰;活性氧清除剂、抗氧化剂、质膜NADPH氧化酶抑制剂和H_2O_2的淬灭剂预处理均可有效地阻止高温下H_2O_2和SA的积累以及质膜H~ -ATPase活性的增加。根据以上结果推测,H_2O_2、质膜H~ -ATPase和SA均参与耐热性诱导相关的信号传递,前者作用于SA的上游,而后者在SA下游起作用。
