Extracellular and Intracellular Calcium both Involved in the Jasmonic Acid Induced Calcium Mobilization in Arabidopsis thaliana

The objective of this experiment is to evaluate the role of intracellular and extracellular Ca2＋ and calmodulin （CAM） in jasmonic acid （JA） signaling. The laser scanning microscopy was used to detect the changes of [Ca2＋]cyt of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf cells which pretreated with different types of calcium channel blocker. Moreover, the expression of VSP, one of JA response genes, was also investigated after pretreated with the above blocker and antagonist of CaM. The results showed that extracellular and intracellular calcium both involved in the JA-induced Ca2＋ mobilization, and then Ca2＋ exerted its functions through activating the CaM or CaM related proteins. The apoplast calcium influx and the calcium release from the calcium stores are both involved in the JA-induced calcium mobilization, then the JA-induced Ca2＋ transmited the JA signal through CaM or CaM related proteins, and regulated the JA responsive genes.

IP_3 Sensitive Calcium Channel Involved in the Jasmonic Acid Induced Calcium Mobilization

[Objective] This study was to investigate the role of IP3 sensitive calcium channel in the JA-induced calcium mobilization pathway.[Method] Arabidopsis thaliana leaves were labeled by Fluorescent probe Fluo-3/AM under low temperature at 4 ℃ to measure the fluorescent intensity of intracellular Ca2＋ which was pretreated with heparin on jasmonic acid（JA）-induced.[Results] When A.thaliana leaf cells were pretreated with 10,50 or 100 ng/ml heparin,intercellular free Ca2＋ fluorescence intensity was reduced in comparison with negative control.Once the heparin-pretreated A.thaliana leaf cells were stimulated with 100 μmol/L JA,intercellular Ca2＋ fluorescence intensity increased gradually and tended to be stable at a degree equivalent with that in negative control.[Conclusion] The experiment showed that the pretreatment with heparin could inhibit the increase of the intracellular Ca2＋ concentration significantly which JA-induced in leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana.

胞外及胞内Ca^(2+)共同参与拟南芥中茉莉酸诱导的钙动员

【目的】探究茉莉酸(Jasmonic acid,JA)诱导的钙动员的来源及钙调素(CaM)在JA信号通路中的作用。【方法】以拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana columbia)为材料,采用不同类型的离子通透性通道抑制剂(或拮抗剂)预处理拟南芥叶肉细胞,利用激光共聚焦显微镜检测其对JA诱导的[Ca2+]cyt升高的影响;同时还利用上述拮抗剂、钙调素(CaM)拮抗剂处理10d的拟南芥幼苗,采用Northern blot方法检测了其对JA诱导的VSP表达的影响。【结果】胞内及胞外钙离子共同参与JA诱导的钙动员,JA诱导的Ca2+通过CaM或CaM相关蛋白进一步传递JA信号。【结论】质外体钙离子的流入和胞内钙库中钙离子的释放均参与JA诱导的钙离子动员,Ca2+可能通过CaM或CaM相关蛋白传递JA信号,进一步诱导JA反应基因的表达。

Ca^(2+)在茉莉酸甲酯诱导拟南芥气孔关闭中的信号转导作用

以拟南芥叶片下表皮为材料 ,分别用表皮生物分析法和激光扫描共聚焦显微镜成像技术 ,研究茉莉酸甲酯 (JA Me)促进气孔关闭过程中胞质Ca2 + 浓度的变化及其与气孔关闭的关系。结果表明 ,10 - 7到 10 - 3mol L的JA Me处理能促进拟南芥叶片的气孔关闭 ,其中 ,10 - 5mol L是最适浓度。用 10 - 5mol L的JA Me处理5min ,胞质Ca2 + 浓度从静息态的 10 5nmol L增加到 332 0nmol L ;质膜Ca2 + 通道阻断剂LaCl3和Ca2 + 螯合剂EGTA均能明显地降低JA Me对气孔关闭的促进作用。由此推测 ,胞质Ca2 + 可能是JA

IP_3敏感的钙离子通透性通道参与茉莉酸诱导的钙动员

以低温导入法将钙离子荧光探针Fluo-3/AM导入拟南芥叶片细胞中,利用LAS AF(LeicaApplication Suite-Advanced Fluorescence)软件记录肝素对茉莉酸(JA)诱导的胞内钙离子荧光强度的变化。结果显示,经不同浓度的肝素预处理后,拟南芥叶细胞中胞内钙离子的荧光强度降低,再用100μmol/L JA处理时,其荧光强度升高,但仅与未经肝素处理的荧光强度相当。实验证明,肝素预处理可抑制JA诱导的胞内钙离子浓度的升高。
