Role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in apoptosis induction 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondria play an important role in apoptosis induction under both physiologic and pathologic conditions. Interestingly, mitochondria are both source and target of ROS. Cytochrome c release from mitochondria, that triggers caspase activation, appears to be largely mediated by direct or indirect ROS action. On the other hand, ROS have also anti-apoptotic effects. This review focuses on the role of ROS in the regulation of apoptosis, especially in inflammatory cells. 相似文献

The fungal AAL-toxin triggers programmed cell death (PCD) through perturbations of sphingolipid metabolism in AAL-toxin-sensitive plants. While Arabidopsis is relatively insensitive to the toxin, the loh2 mutant exhibits increased susceptibility to AAL-toxin due to the knockout of a gene involved in sphingolipid metabolism. Genetic screening of mutagenized loh2 seeds resulted in the isolation of AAL-toxin-resistant mutant atr1.Atr1 displays a wild type phenotype when grown on soil but it develops less biomass than loh2 on media supplemented with 2% and 3% sucrose. Atr1 was also more tolerant to the reactive oxygen species-generating herbicides aminotriazole (AT) and paraquat. Microarray analyses of atr1 and loh2 under AT-treatment conditions that trigger cell death in loh2 and no visible damage in atr1 revealed genes specifically regulated in atr1 or loh2. In addition, most of the genes strongly downregulated in both mutants were related to cell wall extension and cell growth, consistent with the apparent and similar AT-induced cessation of growth in both mutants. This indicates that two different pathways, a first controlling growth inhibition and a second triggering cell death, are associated with AT-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

Seed dormancy is an important component of plant fitness that causes a delay of germination until the arrival of a favourable growth season. Dormancy is a complex trait that is determined by genetic factors with a substantial environmental influence. Several of the tissues comprising a seed contribute to its final dormancy level. The roles of the plant hormones abscisic acid and gibberellin in the regulation of dormancy and germination have long been recognized. The last decade saw the identification of several additional factors that influence dormancy including dormancy-specific genes, chromatin factors and non-enzymatic processes. This review gives an overview of our present understanding of the mechanisms that control seed dormancy at the molecular level, with an emphasis on new insights. The various regulators that are involved in the induction and release of dormancy, the influence of environmental factors and the conservation of seed dormancy mechanisms between plant species are discussed. Finally, expected future directions in seed dormancy research are considered. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that evodiamine could trigger apoptosis in human malignant melanoma A375-S2 cells within 24 h. To further investigate the biochemical basis of this activity, the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) were evaluated. Exposure to evodiamine led to a rapid increase in intracellular ROS followed by an onset of mitochondrial depolarization. ROS scavenger rescued the ΔΨm dissipation and cell death induced by evodiamine, whilst MPT inhibitor blocked the second-time ROS formation as well as cell death. Expressions of key proteins in Fas- and mitochondria-mediated pathways were furthermore examined. Both pathways were activated and regulated by ROS and MPT and were converged to a final common pathway involving the activation of caspase-3. These data suggested that a phenomenon termed ROS-induced ROS release (RIRR) was involved in evodiamine-treated A375-S2 cells and greatly contributed to the apoptotic process through both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. 相似文献

Background information. Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that causes changes in plant metabolism through inhibiting photosynthesis and respiration. The effects of Cd on the morphology and function of the chloroplast and mitochondria, as well as on the production and localization of ROS (reactive oxygen species), were studied at the single‐cell level in Arabidopsis. Results. The present study showed that the morphology of chloroplasts changed after Cd treatment, and the photochemical efficiency dramatically declined prior to obvious morphological distortion in the chloroplasts. A quick burst of ROS was detected after Cd treatment. The ROS appeared first in the mitochondria and subsequently in the chloroplast. Simultaneously, the mitochondria clumped irregularly around the chloroplasts or aggregated in the cytoplasm, and the movement of mitochondria was concomitantly blocked. Furthermore, the production of ROS was decreased after pre‐treatment with ascorbic acid or catalase, which prevented inhibition of photosynthesis, organelle changes and subsequent protoplast death. Our results suggest that the distribution and mobility of mitochondria, the morphology of chloroplasts and the accumulation of ROS play important roles in Cd‐induced cell death. The results are in good agreement with previous reports of many types of apoptotic‐like cell death. Conclusion. The changes in the distribution and mobility of mitochondria, and morphology of chloroplasts, as well as the accumulation of ROS, play important roles in Cd‐induced cell death. 相似文献

The character of programmed cell death (PCD) in plants differs in connection with the context, triggering factors and differentiation state of the target cells. To study the interconnections between cell cycle progression and cell death induction, we treated synchronized tobacco BY-2 cells with cadmium ions that represent a general abiotic stressor influencing both dividing and differentiated cells in planta. Cadmium induced massive cell death after application in all stages of the cell cycle; however, both the progression and the forms of the cell death differed pronouncedly. Apoptosis-like PCD induced by cadmium application in the S and G2 was characterized by pronounced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. In contrast, application of cadmium in M and G1 phases was not accompanied by DNA cleavage, indicating suppression of autolysis and non-programmed character of the death. We interpret these results in the context of the situation in planta, where the induction of apoptosis-like PCD in the S and G2 phase might be connected with a need to preserve genetic integrity of dividing meristematic cells, whereas suppression of PCD response in differentiated cells (situated in G1/G0 phase) might help to avoid death of the whole plant, and thus enable initiation of the recovery and adaptation processes. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the breast cancer suppressor BRCA1 stimulates antioxidant gene expression and protects cells against oxidative stress. To further examine this important function, we tested whether BRCA1 could modulate intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Wild-type BRCA1 (but not a cancer-associated mutant) significantly reduced ROS levels, determined by DCF fluorescence assays by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The BRCA1 and REF1 pathways for reduction of ROS levels appear to exhibit cross-talk. BRCA1 also reduced the levels of protein nitration and H2O2-induced oxidative damage to DNA. Thus, BRCA1 may protect cellular macromolecules by reducing intracellular ROS levels. 相似文献

Using iron-deprived (–Fe) chlorotic as well as green iron-deficient (5 μM Fe) and iron-sufficient supplied (50 μM Fe) leaves of young hydroponically reared Brassica napus plants, we explored iron deficiency effects on triggering programmed cell death (PCD) phenomena. Iron deficiency increased superoxide anion but decreased hydroxyl radical (OH) formation (TBARS levels). Impaired photosystem II efficiency led to hydrogen peroxide accumulation in chloroplasts; NADPH oxidase activity, however, remained on the same level in all treatments. Non-autolytic PCD was observed especially in the chlorotic leaf of iron-deprived plants, to a lesser extent in iron-deficient plants. It correlated with higher DNAse-, alkaline protease- and caspase-3-like activities, DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation, hydrogen peroxide accumulation and higher superoxide dismutase activity. A significant decrease in catalase activity together with rising levels of dehydroascorbic acid indicated a strong disturbance of the redox homeostasis, which, however, was not caused by OH formation in concordance with the fact that iron is required to catalyse the Fenton reaction leading to OH generation. This study documents the chain of events that contributes to the development of non-autolytic PCD in advanced stages of iron deficiency in B. napus leaves. 相似文献

The capacity of yeast cells to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), both as a response to manipulation of mitochondrial functions and to growth conditions, was estimated and compared with the viability of the cells. The chronological ageing of yeast cells (growth to late-stationary phase) was accompanied by increased ROS accumulation and a significantly higher loss of viability in the mutants with impaired mitochondrial functions than in the parental strain. Under these conditions, the ectopic expression of mammalian Bcl-x(L), which is an anti-apoptotic protein, allowed cells to survive longer in stationary phase. The protective effect of Bcl-x(L) was more prominent in respiratory-competent cells that contained defects in mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocation, suggesting a model for Bcl-x(L) regulation of chronological ageing at the mitochondria. Yeast can also be triggered into apoptosis-like cell death, at conditions leading to the depletion of the intramitochondrial ATP pool, as a consequence of the parallel inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and ADP/ATP translocation. If respiratory-deficient (rho(0)) cells were used, no correlation between the numbers of ROS-producing cells and the viability loss in the population was observed, indicating that ROS production may be an accompanying event. The protective effect of Bcl-x(L) against death of these cells suggests a mitochondrial mechanism which is different from the antioxidant activity of Bcl-x(L). 相似文献

Phytohormone brassinosteroids (BRs) are essential for plant growth and development, but the mechanisms of BR‐mediated pollen development remain largely unknown. In this study, we show that pollen viability, pollen germination and seed number decreased in the BR‐deficient mutant d^im, which has a lesion in the BR biosynthetic gene DWARF (DWF), and in the bzr1 mutant, which is deficient in BR signaling regulator BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 (BZR1), compared with those in wild‐type plants, whereas plants overexpressing DWF or BZR1 exhibited the opposite effects. Loss or gain of function in the DWF or BZR1 genes altered the timing of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and programmed cell death (PCD) in tapetal cells, resulting in delayed or premature tapetal degeneration, respectively. Further analysis revealed that BZR1 could directly bind to the promoter of RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG 1 (RBOH1), and that RBOH1‐mediated ROS promote pollen and seed development by triggering PCD and tapetal cell degradation. In contrast, the suppression of RBOH1 compromised BR signaling‐mediated ROS production and pollen development. These findings provide strong evidence that BZR1‐dependent ROS production plays a critical role in the BR‐mediated regulation of tapetal cell degeneration and pollen development in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) plants. 相似文献

Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is a crucial componentof development and defence mechanisms. In animals, differenttypes of cell death (apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis) havebeen distinguished morphologically and discussed in these morphologicalterms. PCD is largely used to describe the processes of apoptosisand autophagy (although some use PCD and apoptosis interchangeably)while necrosis is generally described as a chaotic and uncontrolledmode of death. In plants, the term PCD is widely used to describemost instances of death observed. At present, there is a vastarray of plant cell culture models and developmental systemsbeing studied by different research groups and it is clear fromwhat is described in this mass of literature that, as with animals,there does not appear to be just one type of PCD in plants.It is fundamentally important to be able to distinguish betweendifferent types of cell death for several reasons. For example,it is clear that, in cell culture systems, the window of timein which PCD is studied by different groups varieshugely and this can have profound effects on the interpretationof data and complicates attempts to compare different researcher'sdata. In addition, different types of PCD will probably havedifferent regulators and modes of death. For this reason, inplant cell cultures an apoptotic-like PCD (AL-PCD) has beenidentified that is fairly rapid and results in a distinct corpsemorphology which is visible 4–6 h after release of cytochromec and other apoptogenic proteins. This type of morphology, distinctfrom autophagy and from necrosis, has also been observed inexamples of plant development. In this review, our model systemand how it is used to distinguish specifically between AL-PCDand necrosis will be discussed. The different types of PCD observedin plants will also be discussed and the importance of distinguishingbetween different forms of cell death will be highlighted. Key words: Apoptosis, apoptosis-like programmed cell death (AL-PCD), Arabidopsis, autophagy, mitochondria, necrosis, programmed cell death (PCD)

Recent studies have suggested that ultraviolet-C (UV-C) overexposure induces programmed cell death (PCD) in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, and this process includes participation of caspase-like proteases, DNA laddering as well as fragmentation of
the nucleus. To investigate possible early signal events, we used microscopic observations to monitor in vivo the behaviour
of mitochondria, as well as the production and localization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during protoplast PCD induced
by UV-C. A quick burst of ROS was detected when the protoplasts were kept in continuous light after UV-C exposure, which was
restricted in chloroplasts and the adjacent mitochondria. Pre-incubation with ascorbic acid (AsA, antioxidant molecule) or
3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU, an inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport) decreased the ROS production
and partially protected protoplasts from PCD. A mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) loss occurred prior to cell death;
thereafter, the mitochondria irregularly clumped around chloroplasts or aggregated in other places within the cytoplasm, and
the movement of mitochondria was concomitantly blocked. Pre-treatment with an inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition
pores (MPTP), cyclosporine (CsA), effectively retarded the decrease of MTP and reduced the percentage of protoplasts undergoing
PCD after UV-C overexposure. Our results suggest that the MTP loss and the changes in distribution and mobility of mitochondria,
as well as the production of ROS play important roles during UV-induced plant PCD, which is in good accordance with what has
been reported in many types of apoptotic cell death, both in animals and plants.

The heart is the first organ in the embryo to form. Its structural and functional complexity is the result of a thorough developmental program, where sphingolipids play an important role in cardiogenesis, heart maturation, angiogenesis, the regulation of vascular tone and vessel permeability. Sphingolipids are necessary for signal transduction and membrane microdomain formation. In addition, recent evidence suggests that sphingolipid metabolism is directly interconnected to the modulation of oxidative stress. However, cardiovascular development is highly sensitive to excessive reactive species production, and disturbances in sphingolipid metabolism can lead to abnormal development and cardiac disease. Therefore, in this review, we address the molecular link between sphingolipids and oxidative stress, connecting these pathways to cardiovascular development and cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

The phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate extract of Hypericum thasium has led to the characterization of four benzophenone derivatives 1-4, a known benzophenone 5 and four known flavonoids, quercetin (6), quercitrin (7), isoquercetin (8), and 3, 8′′-biapigenin (9). Lucigenin- and luminal-based chemiluminescence assays were employed to monitor the inhibitory activity of these compounds towards the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by human polymorphoneutrophils (PMNs). The assay results showed that benzophenones 1 and 3 are extracellular inhibitors of ROS production, while flavonoids 6, 8, and 9 can modulate intracellular ROS production. 相似文献

The status of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in regulating apoptosis in animal cells. To investigate if the PTP and cellular oxidation-reduction state are also involved in salt stress-induced programmed cell death (PCD) in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum, cultivar BY-2) protoplasts, flow cytometry was used to simultaneously monitor ROS levels, PTP status and PCD. Increased ROS and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi(m)) were observed before the appearance of PCD. Pre-treatment with an inhibitor of the PTP opening, cyclosporin A (CsA), effectively retarded the onset of PCD, the delta psi(m) decrease and the ROS content increase. Addition of ascorbic acid (AsA) during the salt stress significantly decreased the percentage of protoplasts undergoing PCD and ROS levels but increased delta psi(m). Hydrogen peroxide effectively induced the appearance of PCD and caused an increase in ROS and a decrease in delta psi(m). Pre-treatment of protoplasts with CsA weakened the effects of H2O2. All these results suggest that the open state of PTP and ROS are necessary elements for salt stress-induced PCD in tobacco protoplasts. The open states of PTP and ROS could promote each other suggesting that ROS could lead to a self-amplifying process. This positive feedback loop may act as an all-or-nothing switch, which is in good accordance with the hypothesis that PTP is an important coordinator and executioner of PCD in both animals and plants. 相似文献

Terrestrial plants most often encounter drought stress because of erratic rainfall which has become compounded due to present climatic changes.Responses of plants to water stress may be assigned as either injurious change or tolerance index. One of the primary and cardinal changes in response to drought stress is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is being considered as the cause of cellular damage. However, recently a signaling role of such ROS in triggering the ROS scavenging system that may confer protection or tolerance against stress is emerging. Such scavenging system consists of antioxidant enzymes like SOD, catalase and peroxidases, and antioxidant compounds like ascorbate, reduced glutathione; a balance between ROS generation and scavenging ultimately determines the oxidative load. As revealed in case of defence against pathogen, signaling via ROS is initiated by NADPH oxidase-catalyzed superoxide generation in the apoplastic space (cell wall) followed by conversion to hydrogen peroxide by the activity of cell wall-localized SOD. Wall peroxidase may also play role in ROS generation for signaling. Hydrogen peroxide may use Ca2+ and MAPK pathway as downstream signaling cascade. Plant hormones associated with stress responses like ABA and ethylene play their role possibly via a cross talk with ROS towards stress tolerance, thus projecting a dual role of ROS under drought stress. 相似文献
