Abstract To explore the probable mechanism of antimony stress resistance by Nelumbo nucifera and screen out relevant antimony-resistant genes, we conducted transcriptome sequencing of Nelumbo nucifera seeds treated by antimony at low, medium, and high concentrations (100, 500, 1000 mg/L respectively), screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and analyzed gene ontology classification and KEGG enrichment.Totally 18078 DEGs between antimony stress treatments and the control were identified, and 4192, 5850 and 8036 DEGs were found respectively.The pathways underlying the degradation of phosphopentose, limonene and pinene, the biosynthesis of flavonoid and ubiquinone, and the biosynthesis of terpenoids play critical roles in this responding process. The expressions of 7 genes validated by qPCR were consistent with the RNA-Seq results, which confirms the reliability of RNA-Seq results.This study on transcriptome analysis of Nelumbo nucifera under antimony stress provides a genetic resource and a theoretical basis for research on plant restoration of antimony pollution.

Marchantin A, the first characterized macrocyclic bis(bibenzyls) found in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha shows interesting biological activities such as antifungal, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidant and muscle relaxing activity. Previously, Zenk et al. reported the phenylpropane/polymalonate pathway in the biosynthesis of the marchantins in M. polymorpha. To clear this pathway, transcriptome sequencing and digital gene expression analyses of M. polymorpha were carried out by using Illumina RNA-seq system.

Mercury is one of the detrimental toxicants that can be found in the environment and exists naturally in different forms; inorganic and organic. Human exposure to inorganic mercury, such as mercury chloride, occurs through air pollution, absorption of food or water, and personal care products. This study aimed to investigate the effect of HgCl2 on cell viability, cell cycle, apoptotic pathway, and alters of the transcriptome profiles in human non-small cell lung cancer cells, H1299. Our data show that HgCl2 treatment causes inhibition of cell growth via cell cycle arrest at G0/G1- and S-phase. In addition, HgCl2 induces apoptotic cell death through the caspase-3-independent pathway. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq indicated that cellular nitrogen compound metabolic process, cellular metabolism, and translation for biological processes-related gene sets were significantly up- and downregulated by HgCl2 treatment. Interestingly, comparative gene expression patterns by RNA-seq indicated that mitochondrial ribosomal proteins were markedly altered by low-dose of HgCl2 treatment. Altogether, these data show that HgCl2 induces apoptotic cell death through the dysfunction of mitochondria.
