Metabolome and transcriptome analysis of eleutheroside B biosynthesis pathway in Eleutherococcus senticosus
HELIYON(2022)
Abstract
Eleutheroside B (syringin) is a medicinal active ingredient extracted from Eleutherococcus senticosus (Ruper. et Maxim.) Maxim with high clinical application value. However, its synthesis pathway remains unknown. Here, we analyzed the eleutheroside B biosynthesis pathway in E. senticosus. Consequently, metabolomic and tran-scriptomic analyses identified 461 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 425 metabolites. Further, we identified 7 DEGs and 67 metabolites involved in the eleutheroside B biosynthetic pathway in the eleutheroside B high and low plants. The correlation between the gene and metabolites was explored using the pearson corre-lation coefficient (PCC) analysis. Caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase, caffeic acid-O-methyltransferase, beta-amyrin synthase (beta-AS) genes, NAC5, and HB5 transcription factors were identified as candidate genes and transcription factors related to the eleutheroside B synthesis. Eleutheroside B content was the highest at the young stage of the leaves both in the high and low eleutheroside B plants. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that phenylalanine ammonia-lyase1, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, beta-AS, and leucoanthocyanidin reductase gene had higher expression levels at the young stage of the leaves in the low eleutheroside B plants but lower expression levels in the high eleutheroside B plants. In the present study, we complemented the eleutheroside B biosynthetic pathway by analyzing the expression levels of relevant genes and metabolite accumulation patterns.
