  •   Objective  Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional Chinese medicine used in clinical treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Elucidating the molecular regulation mechanism of metabolism and synthesis of pharmacophore of S. miltiorrhiza can provide scientific basis for breeding new varieties of S. miltiorrhiza with high quality.   Method  The transcriptional factor SmJRB2 in response to methyljasmonic acid (MeJA) induction was picked out based on comparative transcriptome mining. The coding sequence of this gene was cloned using homologous cloning technology and analyzed by bioinformatics. The tissue expression and MeJA induced expression of SmJRB2 gene were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The function of SmJRB2 gene was identified based on the genetic transformation technology of S. miltiorrhiza mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.   Result  The results showed that SmJRB2 encoded 501 amino acids and belonged to the MYC transcription factor of bHLH transcription factor family. The expression of SmJRB2 gene was the highest in leaves and principal root. SmJRB2 gene was intensively induced by MeJA and its highest expression level peaked at the induction time of 4.0 h. Overexpression of SmJRB2 promoted the accumulation of tanshinones and suppression of SmJRB2 gene decreased the biosynthesis of tanshinones.   Conclusion  SmJRB2 is a positive regulator of tanshinone metabolic synthesis.

  • 丹参Salvia miltiorrhiza为唇形科Lamiaceae鼠尾草属Salvia多年生草本植物,又称红根、赤参[12]。其主要药用部位为干燥根或根茎,具有活血通经、祛瘀止痛、清心除烦、凉血消痈等功效[3]。研究表明:丹参含有多种化学活性成分,主要为脂溶性的萜类化合物和水溶性的酚酸类成分,具有保护心肌、抗凝血、抗炎、抗肿瘤等药理学功效[45]。目前,丹参面临野生种质资源被破坏、栽培生长周期长、有效成分含量低等问题[6],使得丹参品质退化,其原料药在临床上的可持续利用受限。因此,研究丹参药用活性成分的生物合成分子机制,可为丹参品种的选育提供科学依据。

    茉莉酸信号分子参与植物生长发育等多个生理活动的调控,尤其在生物和非生物胁迫的防御反应中发挥着关键作用[78]。GE等[9]研究表明:甲基茉莉酸(MeJA)能诱导促进丹参酮的合成。ZHOU等[10]研究发现:丹参毛状根用MeJA处理后,酚酸类成分的含量显著提高。迄今为止,丹参酮在生物合成途径上的相关合成酶基因被大量克隆与鉴定[1114];多个具有调控功能的转录因子如bHLH、MYB等也相继被挖掘[1521],这些研究为全面解析转录因子调控丹参次生代谢物生物合成奠定了良好的基础。研究表明:bHLH类转录因子能响应MeJA信号调控植物次生代谢物的合成[2125]。本研究通过比较转录组数据库,筛选获得1个响应MeJA诱导显著上调的丹参bHLH类转录因子。采用同源克隆的方法,克隆了该转录因子,命名为SmJRB2基因。基于农杆菌Agrobacterium tumefaciens介导的丹参遗传转化技术,对SmJRB2基因在丹参药用成分代谢合成中的功能及其表达特征进行了分析,以探究SmJRB2基因在MeJA信号通路中的功能,为解析丹参品质的形成机制和品种分子选育提供理论支撑。

    • 分别收集3个SmJRB2超表达与3个抑制表达毛状根系,用液氮研磨成粉,冷冻干燥处理24 h;取100 mg干粉,加入16 mL甲醇/三氯甲烷(体积比为3∶1),超声处理1 h后再过夜浸提,12 000×g离心10 min收集上清液倒入蒸馏烧瓶中,50 ℃蒸馏去掉提取液,6 500×g离心10 min收集药效提取物干物质。收集的干物质用1 mL蒸馏水充分溶解,再用0.22 µmol·L−1滤膜过滤。过滤后的样品通过高效液相色谱(HPLC)检测毛状根中丹参酮的质量分数[29]

    • 过表达SmJRB2后,3个超表达毛状根系中二氢丹参酮(DT)、隐丹参酮(CT)、丹参酮Ⅰ(TA-Ⅰ)和总丹参酮(TTA)的质量分数均显著提高(P<0.05);3个抑制表达毛状根系中丹参酮DT、CT、TA-Ⅰ和TTA的质量分数均显著下调(P<0.05),TTA质量分数最低,仅为对照的0.31倍;丹参酮ⅡA (TA-ⅡA)质量分数在转基因毛状根中无显著变化(图8) 。结果表明:SmJRB2促进毛状根中丹参酮的积累,是丹参酮代谢的正向调节因子。

    • 本研究基于比较转录组测序的结果,采用同源克隆技术克隆了SmJRB2基因的全长编码序列。将SmJRB2基因、丹参转录组数据库获得的SmJRB1基因,以及拟南芥、葡萄、长春花等物种中的MYCs、JAMs转录因子合并构建系统进化树,发现SmJRB2基因与拟南芥的AtJAM3具有较高的同源关系,且含有MYC和JAM保守结构域。基于候选基因的遗传转化实验验证发现,SmJRB2对丹参酮的合成起正向调控作用。YANG等[32]研究发现:MYCs类转录因子作为正向调节子,能显著正调控丹参酮和丹参酚酸的合成。ZHAO等[33]研究发现丹参JAM类转录因子会抑制丹参酚酸的代谢合成。对SmJRB2蛋白的结构域进行分析,结合基因进化特征,推测所克隆的SmJRB2基因属于MYC类转录因子的JAM类亚型,具有其他物种JAM亚型转录调控因子的类似基因功能。

      组织表达和诱导表达特征分析表明:SmJRB2转录因子在丹参根、茎、叶中均有表达,且在叶片和主根中的表达量相对最高,在须根和茎中的表达量相对较低。SmJRB2属于MYC类转录因子,叶片中SmJRB2的高表达不仅有利于叶片和茎的生长,还有利于次级代谢产物的生物合成[3436]。结果显示:SmJRB2能够响应MeJA的诱导,且在诱导后2~4 h内的表达量较高。汪琬宜等[37]和ZHOU等[3840]研究发现:MeJA是丹参酮和丹参酚酸代谢合成的有效诱导子。因此,推测SmJRB2是MeJA调控丹参药效物质代谢合成的信号响应因子,可为MeJA调控丹参药效物质代谢合成分子机制的阐释提供理论参考。

    • 本研究克隆了SmJRB2转录因子,基于农杆菌介导的遗传转化技术分析了该基因的组织表达,发现SmJRB2转录因子在植物的根、茎和叶中均有表达,且在叶中的表达量最高。同时,SmJRB2能响应MeJA的诱导且显著上调。初步阐明了SmJRB2转录因子对丹参次生代谢产物合成的影响,得出SmJRB2是丹参酮代谢合成的正向调控因子。本研究进一步完善了SmJRB2转录因子的调控理论体系,并为丹参优质新品种选育提供了分子靶标和理论基础。
