被子植物有性生殖过程中的细胞程序死亡 总被引:14,自引:2,他引:12
田惠桥 《植物生理与分子生物学学报》2002,28(3):161-168
细胞程序死亡是植物发育过程中的一种普遍现象。早就认识到高等植物生殖器官中一些细胞的死亡对植物有性生殖具有重要作用。这些细胞的死亡过程与动物组织中的细胞程序死亡基本相同。但植物体内诱导生殖细胞程序死亡的信号及其传导系统则显示出其特点 ,有些还表现出雌、雄性细胞的相互作用。探索植物生殖过程中的细胞程序死亡现象将有利于澄清植物生殖过程中的一些机理问题 ,使过去的细胞学研究结果深入到分子水平进行探讨 相似文献

细胞程序死亡(PCD)是在植物体发育过程中普遍存在的,在发育的特定阶段发生的自然的细胞死亡过程,这一死亡过程是由某些特定基因编码的“死亡程序”控制的。PCD是细胞分化的最后阶段。细胞分化的临界期就处于死亡程序执行中的某个阶段。PCD包含启动期、效应期和清除期三个阶段,其间caspase家族起着重要作用。PCD在细胞和组织的平衡、特化,以及组织分化、器官建成和对病原体的反应等植物发育过程中起着重要作用。PCD中的形态学变化和生物化学变化都有着严格的时序性。植物的PCD和动物的PCD有许多共性,包括细胞形态和DNA降解等变化。也有一些不同,植物PCD的产物既可被其它细胞吸收利用;也可用于构建自身的次生细胞壁。 相似文献

Programmed cell death (apoptosis), a form of cell death, described by Kerr and Wyllie some 20 years ago, has generated considerable interest in recent years. The mechanisms by which this mode of cell death (seen both in animal and plant cells), takes place have been examined in detail. Extracellular signals and intracellular events have been elaborated. Of interest to the clinician, is the concentrated effort to study pharmacological modulation of programmed cell death. The attempt to influence the natural phenomenon of programmed cell death stems from the fact that it is reduced (like in cancer) or increased (like in neurodegenerative diseases) in several clinical situations. Thus, chemicals that can modify programmed cell death are likely to be potentially useful drugs. From foxglove, which gave digitalis to the Pacific Yew from which came taxol, plants have been a source of research material for useful drugs. Recently, a variety of plant extracts have been investigated for their ability to influence the apoptotic process. This article discusses some of the interesting data. The ability of plants to influence programmed cell death in cancerous cells in an attempt to arrest their proliferation has been the topic of much research. Various cell-lines like HL60, human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (KIM-1), a cholangiocarcinoma cell-line (KMC-1), B-cell hybridomas, U937 a monocytic cell-line, HeLa cells, human lymphoid leukemia (MOLT-4B) cells and K562 cells have been studied. The agents found to induce programmed cell death (measured either morphologically or flow cytometrically) included extracts of plants like mistletoe and Semicarpus anacardium. Isolated compounds like bryonolic acid (from Trichosanthes kirilowii var. Japonica, crocin (from saffron) and allicin (from Allium sativum) have also been found to induce programmed cell death and therefore arrest proliferation. Even Chinese herbal medicine "Sho-saiko-to" induces programmed cell death in selected cancerous cell lines. Of considerable interest is the finding that Panax ginseng prevents irradiation-induced programmed cell death in hair follicles, suggesting important therapeutic implications. Nutraceuticals (dietary plants) like soya bean, garlic, ginger, green tea, etc. which have been suggested, in epidemiological studies, to reduce the incidence of cancer may do so by inducing programmed cell death. Soy bean extracts have been shown to prevent development of diseases like polycystic kidneys, while Artemisia asiatica attenuates cerulein-induced pancreatitis in rats. Interestingly enough, a number of food items as well as herbal medicines have been reported to produce toxic effects by inducing programmed cell death. For example, programmed cell death in isolated rat hepatocytes has been implicated in the hepatitis induced by a herbal medicine containing diterpinoids from germander. Other studies suggest that rapid progression of the betel- and tobacco-related oral squamous cell carcinomas may be associated with a simultaneous involvement of p53 and c-myc leading to inhibition of programmed cell death. Several mechanisms have been identified to underlie the modulation of programmed cell death by plants including endonuclease activation, induction of p53, activation of caspase 3 protease via a Bcl-2-insensitive pathway, potentiate free-radical formation and accumulation of sphinganine. Programmed cell death is a highly conserved mechanism of self-defense, also found to occur in plants. Hence, it is natural to assume that chemicals must exist in them to regulate programmed cell death in them. Thus, plants are likely to prove to be important sources of agents that will modulate programmed cell death. 相似文献

Does the plant mitochondrion integrate cellular stress and regulate programmed cell death? 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Jones A 《Trends in plant science》2000,5(5):225-230
Research on programmed cell death in plants is providing insight into the primordial mechanism of programmed cell death in all eukaryotes. Much of the attention in studies on animal programmed cell death has focused on determining the importance of signal proteases termed caspases. However, it has recently been shown that cell death can still occur even when the caspase cascade is blocked, revealing that there is an underlying oncotic default pathway. Many programmed plant cell deaths also appear to be oncotic. Shared features of plant and animal programmed cell death can be used to deduce the primordial components of eukaryotic programmed cell death. From this perspective, we must ask whether the mitochondrion is a common factor that can serve in plant and animal cell death as a stress sensor and as a dispatcher of programmed cell death. 相似文献

Modern concepts of programmed cell death, particularly the apoptosis in animals and plants are analyzed in this paper. A comparative characteristic of apoptosis in animal and plant cells taking into consideration the physiologic features of cells is presented. Necrosis as a form of pathological and not genetically programmed cell death is characterized. The significance (necessity) of apoptosis during the formation of a plant’s hypersensitive response and the role of programmed cell death under conditions of joint interrelations in the “pathogen-host” system are discussed. 相似文献

The hypersensitive reaction is a type of programmed cell death in plants. Cryptogein is a proteinaceous elicitor secreted from Phythophthora cryptogea. In one current model, active oxygen species (AOS) trigger programmed cell death in plants. In this study, we examined a variety of AOS scavengers to elucidate the function of AOS in the death program. Most of these AOS scavengers, including tiron, a scavenger for superoxide radical, catalase for hydrogen peroxide, and hydroquinone, sodium ascorbate and propyl gallate for free radicals, almost completely removed extracellular AOS. However, none of the reagents completely blocked the cell death process. Other reagents, such as histidine and dimethylfuran, scavengers for singlet oxygen, and diphenyleneiodonium chloride, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, showed significant toxicity in BY-2 cells. These results indicate that AOS produced in the extracellular space do not play a role in hypersensitive cell death. 相似文献

Summary. Programmed cell death plays a pivotal role in several developmental processes of plants and it is involved in the response to environmental stresses and in the defense mechanisms against pathogen attack. It has not yet been defined which part of the death signalling mechanism and which molecules involved in programmed cell death are common to animals and plants. In this paper we show that fusicoccin, a well-known phytotoxin, induces a strong acceleration in the appearance of Evans Blue-stainable (dead) cells in sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cultures. This fusicoccin-induced cell death shows aspects common to the form of animal programmed cell death termed apoptosis: i.e., cell shrinkage, changes in nucleus morphology, increase in DNA fragmentation detectable by a specific immunological reaction, and presence of oligonucleosomal-size fragments (laddering) in DNA gel electrophoresis. Since fusicoccin has a well-identified molecular target, the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, and thoroughly investigated physiological effects, this toxin appears to be a useful tool to study the transduction of death signals leading to programmed cell death in plants.Correspondence and reprints: Dipartimento di Biotecnologie e Bioscienze, Universitä degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Piazza della Scienza 2, 20126 Milano, Italy. 相似文献

In plants, programmed cell death is thought to be activated during the hypersensitive response to certain avirulent pathogens and in the course of several differentiation processes. We describe a transgenic model system that mimics the activation of programmed cell death in higher plants. In this system, expression of a bacterial proton pump in transgenic tobacco plants activates a cell death pathway that may be similar to that triggered by recognition of an incompatible pathogen. Thus, spontaneous lesions that resemble hypersensitive response lesions are formed, multiple defense mechanisms are apparently activated, and systemic resistance is induced in the absence of a pathogen. Interestingly, mutation of a single amino acid in the putative channel of this proton pump renders it inactive with respect to lesion formation and induction of resistance to pathogen challenge. This transgenic model system may provide insights into the mechanisms involved in mediating cell death in higher plants. In addition, it may also be used as a general agronomic tool to enhance disease protection. 相似文献

Abiotic stress induces apoptotic-like features in tobacco that is inhibited by expression of human Bcl-2 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The shared features between plant and animal programmed cell death are becoming increasingly apparent. In this study, human Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of cell death regulators, was stably expressed in tobacco. Previously, we have shown that such plants were resistant/tolerant to several necrotrophic fungal pathogens. In this study, we show that transgenic plants are protected by several lethal abiotic stresses including heat, cold, menadione and hydrogen peroxide. Importantly, wild type tobacco, exposed to these treatments, not only died but during the death process exhibited features associated with mammalian apoptosis including DNA laddering, fragmentation, and the development of apoptotic bodies. These features were not observed in viable transgenic tobacco. Thus, abiotic stress induced cell death in plants can be accompanied by apoptotic-like features that are inhibited by expression of Bcl-2. These observations add to the growing body of evidence indicating trans-kingdom conservation of programmed cell death mechanisms. 相似文献

Plant proteolytic enzymes: possible roles during programmed cell death 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
Proteolytic enzymes are known to be associated with developmentally programmed cell death during organ senescence and tracheary element differentiation. Recent evidence also links proteinases with some types of pathogen- and stress-induced cell suicide. The precise roles of proteinases in these and other plant programmed cell death processes are not understood, however. To provide a framework for consideration of the importance of proteinases during plant cell suicide, characteristics of the best-known proteinases from plants including subtilisin-type and papain-type enzymes, phytepsins, metalloproteinases and the 26S proteasome are summarized. Examples of serine, cysteine, aspartic, metallo- and threonine proteinases linked to animal programmed cell death are cited and the potential for plant proteinases to act as mediators of signal transduction and as effectors of programmed cell death is discussed. 相似文献

In plants, events similar to programmed cell death have been reported [1] [2], although little is known of their mechanisms at the molecular level. To investigate the mechanism(s) involved, we overexpressed bcl-x(L), which encodes a mammalian suppressor of programmed cell death, in tobacco plants, under the control of a strong promoter [3]. In plants expressing Bcl-x(L), cell death induced by UV-B irradiation, paraquat treatment or the hypersensitive reaction (HR) to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection was suppressed. The extent of suppression of cell death depended on the amount of Bcl-x(L) protein expressed. Similar enhanced resistance to cell death was found in transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing the ced-9 gene, a Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of bcl-x(L) [4], indicating that Bcl-x(L) and Ced-9 can function to inhibit cell death in plants. 相似文献

In plants, programmed cell death is thought to be activated during differentiation and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although its mechanisms are far less clear, several morphological and biochemical features have been described in different experimental systems, including DNA laddering and cytosolic protease activation. Moreover, plant mitochondria have an alternative terminal oxidase (AOX), which is thought to be involved in protection against increased reactive oxygen species production, perhaps representing a mechanism to prevent programmed cell death. In this study, we analysed cell death induced by the herbicide dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) in soybean (Glycine max) suspension cell cultures and evaluated biochemical and molecular events associated with programmed cell death. AOX capacity and expression were also determined. DNOC-treated cells showed fragmented nuclear DNA as assessed by an in situ assay that detects 3'-OH ends. In addition, specific colorimetric assays and immunoblot analysis revealed activation of caspase-3-like proteins and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, respectively, confirming the apoptotic-like phenotype. Surprisingly, AOX capacity and protein levels decreased in DNOC-treated cells, suggesting no association between cell death and AOX under these experimental conditions. In conclusion, the results show that DNOC induces programmed cell death in soybean cells, suggesting that plants and animals might share similar pathways. Further, the role of AOX in cell death has not been confirmed, and may depend on the nature and intensity of stress conditions. 相似文献
