Abstract

Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are inevitable by-products of many redox reactions in eukaryotic cells, they play a crucial role as signaling molecules in many cellular processes for development and defense response to abiotic stresses. The biphasic ROS production which was peaked twice in a first transient phase and a second massive phase was occurred after treatment of abiotic stress such as oxidative stress, high salinity. This biphasic generation of ROS was followed by the biphasic production of stress hormone, ethylene. The mechanism of interactions between ROS and ethylene biosynthesis is studied in tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum L.) plants under the abiotic stresses. The stress-induced ethylene production was significantly inhibited in RbohD-AS and RbohF-AS, in which antisense expression of NADPH oxidase genes was performed. The accumulation of ROS, which was determined by DAB and DCFH-DA staining, was significantly decreased after abiotic stresses in transgenic plants. The suppression of signaling with ethylene and ROS induced more tolerance in response to abiotic stress. The transgenic plants were more tolerant in MS medium supplemented with salinity stress in contrast with wild-type. Stress-induced cell damage determined by DNA fragmentation was decreased at phase II in those transgenic plants. Therefore, the first burst of ROS is more responsible for making a role as a signaling molecule during stress-induced response. These results suggested that ethylene and ROS act in a positive feedback cycle that results in mutual enhancement of ethylene and ROS production during stress-induced cell death.

비생물학적 스트레스로 $H_2O_2$를 이용하여 산화적 스트레스와 고염분 스트레스를 처리한 후 ROS의 생성을 확인한 결과 스트레스 처리 후 30분에 일시적으로 1차 peak를 형성하였다가 거의 basal level까지 감소하고 다시 증가하여 3시간에 매우 다량의 2차 peak를 형성한 후 거의 basal level로 다시 낮아지는 biphasic 양상을 나타내게 된다. 따라서 ROS의 생성은 초기 30분 내에 일시적으로 발생한 Phase I의 ROS와 Phase II의 좀 더 장기적으로 다량의 고농도로 발생된 ROS의 생리적 역할이 다를 것으로 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는 스트레스 처리 시 생성되는 ROS를 확인한 후 ROS 생성 유전자인 RbohD와 RbohF 유전자 발현이 억제된 RbohD-AS, RbohF-AS 형질전환 식물체를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 스트레스에 의해 생성되는 ROS의 생성을 억제시킴으로써 스트레스에 대한 ethylene 생성이 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 이들 형질전환 식물체에서 ethylene 생성과 $H_2O_2$ 억제 효과를 확인하였으며 고염분 등의 스트레스에 대한 저항성은 ROS와 ethylene의 생성이 저하되어 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 산화적 스트레스와 고염분 스트레스에서 후기 ethylene이 다량으로 생성되는 시기, 즉 세포손상이 초래되는 후기에서 DNA fragmentation 분석을 통해서 ROS와 ethylene의 생성이 높은 식물체일수록 PCD가 높게 나타난 것으로 여겨지며, 이 과정에서 작용하는 유전자는 RbohD와 RbohF인 것으로 보이며, RbohD가 더 효과적으로 작용하는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 스트레스에 반응하는 신호전달과정에서 초기에 ROS가 생성이 되고 후기에 ethylene이 다량으로 생성되어 결국 세포죽음에 이르게 하는 상호 synergism을 일으켜 반응을 나타내며, 이러한 반응 과정에서 RbohD와 RbohF 유전자 발현의 억제가 스트레스에 대한 식물체의 저항성을 높이는 것으로 사료된다.
