We investigated how potato exposed to a chemical agent could activate nitric oxide (NO)-dependent events facilitating more potent defense responses to a subsequent pathogen attack. Obtained data revealed that all applied inducers, i.e., β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), laminarin, or 2,6-dichloroisonicotinic acid (INA), were active stimuli in potentiating NO synthesis in the primed potato. It is assumed, for the mechanism proposed in this paper, that priming involves reversible S-nitrosylated protein (S-nitrosothiols [SNO]) storage as one of the short-term stress imprint components, apart from epigenetic changes sensitized by NO. Based on BABA- and GABA-induced events, it should be stated that a rise in NO generation and coding the NO message in SNO storage at a relatively low threshold together with histone H2B upregulation might create short-term imprint activation, facilitating acquisition of a competence to react faster after challenge inoculation. Laminarin elicited strong NO upregulation with an enhanced SNO pool-altered biochemical imprint in the form of less effective local recall, nevertheless being fully protective in distal responses against P. infestans. In turn, INA showed the most intensified NO generation and abundant formation of SNO, both after the inducer treatment and challenge inoculation abolishing potato resistance against the pathogen. Our results indicate, for the first time, that a precise control of synthesized NO in cooperation with reversible SNO storage and epigenetic modifications might play an important role in integrating and coordinating defense potato responses in the priming phenomenon.

Article Synopsis
  • Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) react to mechanical stimuli like stiffness and fluid viscosity, which impacts their behavior.
  • In environments with high fluid viscosity, hMSCs favor an osteogenic (bone-forming) phenotype over an adipogenic (fat-forming) one by altering their actin structure and enhancing cellular activities.
  • This research highlights fluid viscosity as an important factor that not only influences hMSC differentiation but also encourages a more immunosuppressive M2 macrophage phenotype.

Deciphering metabolic shifts in Gaucher disease type 1: a multi-omics study.

J Mol Med (Berl)

December 2024

Department of Metabolic Biochemistry, Referral Center for Lysosomal Diseases, Normandie Univ, UNIROUEN, CHU Rouen, INSERM U1245, Filière G2M, 76000, Rouen, France.

Gaucher disease (GD), an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder, primarily affects the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), leading to glucosylceramide accumulation in lysosomes. GD presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. This study deploys immune-based proteomics and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics technologies to comprehensively investigate the biochemical landscape in 43 deeply phenotyped type 1 GD patients compared to 59 controls.

Cytidine analogs in plant epigenetic research and beyond.

Cytosine (DNA) methylation plays important roles in silencing transposable elements, plant development, genomic imprinting, stress responses, and maintenance of genome stability. To better understand the functions of this epigenetic modification, several tools have been developed to manipulate DNA methylation levels. These include mutants of DNA methylation writers and readers, targeted manipulation of locus-specific methylation, and the use of chemical inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
  • * Five experimental groups were created to assess different conditions, measuring parameters like apoptosis rates, oxidative stress indicators (GSH, GSSG, ROS), and key protein levels related to cellular response.
  • * Results showed that HUC-MSCs decreased apoptosis rates in cancer cells and improved antioxidant levels by activating the ERK-Nrf2-HO-1 pathway, suggesting that they might enhance the cancer cells' resistance to oxidative damage.
