杨树植株(Populus deltoides x nigra, DN34)在水培条件下生长,暴露于50毫克/升的六氢-1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三唑烷(RDX)24小时。通过逆转录酶(RT)实时PCR分析了可能参与有毒炸药代谢的基因表达。研究的基因是通过参考先前在大肠杆菌中通过暴露于2,4,6-三硝基甲苯(TNT)而上调的相应基因来选择的... 研究的目标基因包括几个编码已知参与异生物质污染解毒的酶的基因,如谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GSTs)、细胞色素P-450s(CYPs)、NADPH依赖性还原酶和过氧化物酶。从拟南芥TNT可诱导基因出发,从JGI杨树基因组项目数据库中检索相应的杨树序列,并用于设计基因特异性引物。18S核糖体DNA(rDNA)用作内部标准,记录的基因表达水平通过与未暴露植物的参考进行归一化。在三个独立的实验中,发现五种基因在叶组织中通过暴露于RDX显著扩增,包括GST(9.7倍)、CYP(1.6倍)、还原酶(1.6-1.7倍)和过氧化物酶(1.7倍)。在根组织中,只有一个GST基因通过暴露于RDX显著扩增(2.0倍)。这些结果首次表明,杨树植株暴露于RDX会导致几种可能参与炸药解毒的基因的诱导。
Poplar plants (Populus deltoides x nigra, DN34) growing under hydroponic conditions were exposed to 50 mg /per/ L of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) for 24 hr. The expression of genes potentially involved in the metabolism of toxic explosives was analyzed by reverse-transcriptase (RT) real-time PCR. Genes under study were selected by reference to corresponding genes that were previously shown to be upregulated in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana by exposure to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)... The target genes investigated include several genes encoding for enzymes known to be involved in the detoxification of xenobiotic pollutants, such as glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), cytochrome P-450s (CYPs), NADPH-dependent reductases, and peroxidases. Starting from A. thaliana TNT-inducible genes, corresponding Populus sequences were retrieved from the JGI Poplar Genome Project database and were used to design gene-specific primers. 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was used as an internal standard and recorded gene expression levels were normalized by reference to nonexposed plants. In three separate experiments, five genes were found to be significantly amplified in leaf tissues by exposure to RDX, including GST (9.7 fold), CYP (1.6 fold), reductases (1.6-1.7 fold), and peroxidase (1.7 fold). In root tissues, only a single GST gene was found to be significantly amplified by exposure to RDX (2.0 fold). These results show, for the first time, that the exposure of poplar plants to RDX results in the induction of several genes that are potentially involved in explosive detoxification.
