Peripheral nerve injury may trigger changes in mRNA levels in the spinal cord. Finding key mRNAs is important for improving repair after nerve injury. This study aimed to investigate changes in mRNAs in the spinal cord following sciatic nerve injury by transcriptomic analysis. The left sciatic nerve denervation model was established in C57BL/6 mice. The left L4-6 spinal cord segment was obtained at 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after severing the sciatic nerve. mRNA expression profiles were generated by RNA sequencing. The sequencing results of spinal cord mRNA at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after severing the sciatic nerve were compared with those at 0 weeks by bioinformatic analysis. We identified 1915 differentially expressed mRNAs in the spinal cord, of which 4, 1909, and 2 were differentially expressed at 1, 4, and 8 weeks after sciatic nerve injury, respectively. Sequencing results indicated that the number of differentially expressed mRNAs in the spinal cord was highest at 4 weeks after sciatic nerve injury. These mRNAs were associated with the cellular response to lipid, ATP metabolism, energy coupled proton transmembrane transport, nuclear transcription factor complex, vacuolar proton-transporting V-type ATPase complex, inner mitochondrial membrane protein complex, tau protein binding, NADH dehydrogenase activity and hydrogen ion transmembrane transporter activity. Of these mRNAs, Sgk1, Neurturin and Gpnmb took part in cell growth and development. Pathway analysis showed that these mRNAs were mainly involved in aldosterone-regulated sodium reabsorption, oxidative phosphorylation and collecting duct acid secretion. Functional assessment indicated that these mRNAs were associated with inflammation and cell morphology development. Our findings show that the number and type of spinal cord mRNAs involved in changes at different time points after peripheral nerve injury were different. The number of differentially expressed mRNAs in the spinal cord was highest at 4 weeks after sciatic nerve injury. These results provide reference data for finding new targets for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury, and for further gene therapy studies of peripheral nerve injury and repair. The study procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee of the Peking University People's Hospital (approval No. 2017PHC004) on March 5, 2017.

Mammalian mitochondria assemble four complexes of the respiratory chain (RCI, RCIII, RCIV, and RCV) by combining 13 polypeptides synthesized within mitochondria on mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) with over 70 polypeptides encoded in nuclear DNA, translated on cytoplasmic ribosomes, and imported into mitochondria. We have previously observed that mitoribosome assembly is inefficient because some mitoribosomal proteins are produced in excess, but whether this is the case for other mitochondrial assemblies such as the RCs is unclear. We report here that pulse-chase stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a valuable technique to study RC assembly because it can reveal considerable differences in the assembly rates and efficiencies of the different complexes. The SILAC analyses of HeLa cells indicated that assembly of RCV, comprising F₁/F_o-ATPase, is rapid with little excess subunit synthesis, but that assembly of RCI (i.e. NADH dehydrogenase) is far less efficient, with dramatic oversynthesis of numerous proteins, particularly in the matrix-exposed N and Q domains. Unassembled subunits were generally degraded within 3 h. We also observed differential assembly kinetics for individual complexes that were immunoprecipitated with complex-specific antibodies. Immunoprecipitation with an antibody that recognizes the ND1 subunit of RCI co-precipitated a number of proteins implicated in FeS cluster assembly and newly synthesized ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase Rieske iron-sulfur polypeptide 1 (UQCRFS1), the Rieske FeS protein in RCIII, reflecting some coordination between RCI and RCIII assemblies. We propose that pulse-chase SILAC labeling is a useful tool for studying rates of protein complex assembly and degradation.

Oxidative stress in cells caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased antioxidant defense is implicated in the cytotoxicity of xenobiotics including drugs and environmental chemicals. Endosulfan, a highly toxic organochlorine insecticide, causes cytotoxic cell death by inducing oxidative stress. We have investigated the biochemical basis of induction of oxidative stress, involving the role of NADH dehydrogenase and the possible role of Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase in endosulfan cytotoxicity and, whether the cytotoxicity could be attenuated by targeting ROS induction using the natural flavonoid antioxidant, quercetin, in Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells. Exposure of cells to endosulfan caused cytotoxic cell death (necrosis) which was associated with induction of ROS, lipid peroxidation as well as a reduction in glutathione levels, concomitant with loss of NADH dehydrogenase and Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that oxidative stress and perturbation of membrane function are the major causes of endosulfan cytotoxicity. Our results showed that quercetin, protected against endosulfan-induced cytotoxicity and significantly abrogated oxidative stress, and ameliorated the inhibition of NADH dehydrogenase and Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity in EAT cells. Our study presents evidence that NADH dehydrogenase inhibition plays an important role in oxidative stress-mediated cytotoxicity, and perturbed membrane function as evident from inhibition of sodium-potassium pump is involved in cytotoxic cell death.

Salt stress threatens the achievement of sustainable global food security goals by inducing secondary stresses, such as osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stress, that are detrimental to plant growth and productivity. Various studies have reported the beneficial roles of microbes in ameliorating salt stress in plants. This review emphasizes salt tolerance and endurance mechanisms (STEM) in microbially inoculated (MI) plants that ensure plant growth and survival. Well-established STEM have been documented in MI plants and include conglomeration of osmolytes, antioxidant barricading, recuperating nutritional status, and ionic homeostasis. This is achieved via involvement of P solubilization, siderophore production, nitrogen fixation, selective ion absorption, volatile organic compound production, exopolysaccharide production, modifications to plant physiological processes (photosynthesis, transpiration, and stomatal conductance), and molecular alterations to alter various biochemical and physiological processes. Salt tolerance and endurance mechanism in MI plants ensures plant growth by improving nutrient uptake and maintaining ionic homeostasis, promoting superior water use efficiency and osmoprotection, enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, preserving cell ultrastructure, and reinforcing antioxidant metabolism. Molecular research in MI plants under salt stress conditions has found variations in the expression profiles of genes such as HKT1, NHX, and SOS1 (ion transporters), PIPs and TIPs (aquaporins), RBCS, RBCL (RuBisCo subunits), Lipoxygenase2 [jasmonic acid (JA) signaling], ABA (abscisic acid)-responsive gene, and APX, CAT, and POD (involved in antioxidant defense). Proteomic analysis in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-inoculated plants revealed upregulated expression of signal transduction proteins, including Ca²⁺ transporter ATPase, calcium-dependent protein kinase, calmodulin, and energy-related proteins (NADH dehydrogenase, iron-sulfur protein NADH dehydrogenase, cytochrome C oxidase, and ATP synthase). Future research should focus on the role of stress hormones, such as JA, salicylic acid, and brassinosteroids, in salt-stressed MI plants and how MI affects the cell wall, secondary metabolism, and signal transduction in host plants.
