Project description:Chickens were kept under a regimen of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark for 7 days. At LD2, 2 hours into the light cycle on the 8th day, 3 chickens were sacrificed by decapitation and their retinas dissected and pooled. Similarly, at LD18, 6 hours into the dark cycle on the 8th day, retinas were harvested from 3 chickens. Total RNA was extracted from each set of retinas using Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen). The total RNA samples were amplified to produce aRNA using the Message Amp Kit (Ambion). Randomly primed fluorescent probes were produced from the aRNA samples using a Genisphere 3DNA Array 900MPX expression array detection kit. The fluorescent dye on the probe derived from the experimental aRNA (LD2) was Cy5 while the dye on the control probe (LD18) was Cy3. Hybridizations and washes were as suggested by Genisphere. Labeled arrays were scanned in an Affymetrix 428 array scanner. The images obtained were subsequently analyzed by GenePixPro software (Axon Instruments). The GenePix results (.gpr) file was further analyzed by GeneSpring 5 (Silicon Genetics) which applied intensity dependent LOWESS normalization to the results and calculated normalized Cy5 to Cy3 ratios. This GEO Series was created by the GEO staff as part of a cleanup effort to ensure that all GEO Samples are included within a Series entry.

Project description:It is known that ubiquitination is important for T cell receptor (TCR) signaling during T cell activation but the breadth of ubiquitination events triggered during TCR signaling is not completely understood. This dataset utilizes di-glycine remnant profiling combined with mass spectrometry to identify a global landscape of ubiquitination events downstream of the TCR and to quantify changes ubiquitin abundance in response to TCR stimulation. Additionally, whole cell proteomics data were generated to measure protein abundances during TCR stimulation. Mouse primary T cells were isolated, proliferated and either remained resting or stimulated with CD3/CD28 to activate downstream signaling through the TCR and co-stimulatory pathways. Di-glycine remnant profiling and whole cell proteomics was performed on rested cells and cells that had undergone CD3/CD28 TCR stimulation for 4 hours. These data were analyzed to identify the ubiquitination events during TCR activation and to quantify the change in peptide-based ubiquitin abundance and total protein abundance over the course of the 4 hour TCR stimulation. Integration of di-glycine and whole cell proteomics was used to generate protein-specific predictions of whether ubiquitination events downstream of TCR signaling lead to a decrease in associated protein abundance. The analysis of these data suggests that T cell activation leads to an increase in ubiquitination that is not associated with proteasomal or lysosomal degradation.

Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a rice pathogen causing bacterial blight, which outbreaks in most rice cultivating countries and reduces yield up to 50% due to no effective pesticide. Urgent responses of Xoo upon the initial contacts with rice at infection site are essential for pathogenesis. We studied the time-resolved gene expression of both transcriptome and proteome in the pathogenicity-activated Xoo cells with an in vitro assay system. Genes related to cell mobility, inorganic ion transport and effectors are early response genes to help Xoo cells invade into damaged rice leaf tissues, obtain rare cofactors, and evade rice immune responses. Although the time-resolved gene expression pattern of Xoo is conserved in both mRNA and protein, there are varied time gaps in genes between the expression peaks of mRNA and protein, which implies there is an additional translational selection step of specific mRNAs for rapid translation. The expression pattern of genes from a polycistronic mRNA in the same gene cluster is strictly conserved. The time-resolved gene expression study of Xoo in both transcriptome and proteome provides a valuable information about the pathogenic responses of Xoo at the initial stage of Xoo-rice interaction.

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) represents the major histological type of ovarian cancer (OC), and lack of effective screening tools and early detection methods significantly contributes to the poor prognosis of HGSOC. Currently, there is no reliable diagnostic biomarkers for HGSOC. In this study, we performed liquid chromatography data-independent acquisition tandem-mass spectrometry on depleted serum samples from 26 HGSOC cases and 24 healthy controls (HCs) to discover potential HGSOC diagnostic biomarkers. A total of 1,847 proteins were identified across all samples, among which 116 proteins showed differential expressions between HGSOC patients and HCs. Network modeling showed activations of coagulation and complement cascades, platelet activation and aggregation, NET formation, TLR4, IGF, and TGF-β signaling, and suppression of lipoprotein assembly and FcγR activation in HGSOC. Based on the network model, we prioritized 28 biomarker candidates, and validated 18 of them using targeted MS assays in an independent cohort. Predictive modeling showed a sensitivity of 1 and specificity of 0.91 in the validation cohort. Finally, in vitro functional assays on four potential biomarkers (FGA, VWF, ARHGDIB, and SERPINF2) suggested that they may play an important role in cancer cell proliferation and migration in HGSOC.

Project description:Parasitic diseases of humans and other animals represent a major socioeconomic burden worldwide. In humans, parasitic worms (helminths) that cause neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect ~ billion people, equating to a burden of >12 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (Hotez et al., 2014). In other animals, although challenging to quantitate, the disease impact of such helminths is major (Pedersen, et al., 2015; Charlier et al., 2020; Selzer and Epe, 2021), and some of these parasites are also transmissible to humans (i.e. zoonotic) (McCarthy et al., 2000; Gordon et al., 2016). The control of these diseases relies on diagnosis, treatment and management strategies, and anthelmintic treatment is usually a central component of a control campaign, as vaccines are not available for the vast majority of them. These treatments are not always highly efficacious/effective, and the reliance on them, particularly if they are used excessively in an uncontrolled (suppressive) manner, has led to the emergence and spread of anthelmintic resistances in parasitic worms (within 4-X generations; REF), particularly those of animals. Although the resistance status of worms of humans to available compounds is somewhat unclear (Prichard, 2005; Keiser and Utzinger, 2008; Vercruysse et al., 2011), this is not the case for worms of important production animals (e.g., sheep, goats and pigs), where such resistance(s) is/are widespread and essentially worldwide. In recent work, we established a high-throughput whole-organism, phenotypic assay for the screening of relatively large libraries of tens to hundreds of thousands of compounds, the subsequent evaluation of active compounds and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to strive toward the optimisation of the activity and potency of analogs, and the minimisation of side effects and toxicity (Taki et al., 2021b; Taki et al., 2021c; Shanley et al., 2022). However, our early discovery work has been hampered by not knowing the target(s) to which compounds might bind and how they might work. In recent years, there have been major advances in the development of methods for identifying drug-target interactions (reviewed by Mateus et al., 2021), which include affinity purification, activity-based protein profiling, kinobeads (for kinases), stability of proteins from rates of oxidation, protein painting, limited proteolysis/drug affinity responsive target stability and thermal proteome profiling (TPP). Published evidence (Savitski et al., 2014; Perrin et al., 2020; Selkrig et al., 2020) demonstrates clearly the exquisite capacity of TPP to define or infer target molecules in projects with a biomedical focus (e.g., cancer, autophagy or infectious disease), but this method has not yet been utilised to define an anthelmintic target. This context provides the very exciting prospect of being able to rapidly provide evidence of drug-target interactions. For these reasons, in the present study, we undertook a high-throughput whole-organism, phenotypic screen of a well-curated compound library, identified ‘hit’ compounds for evaluation, identified one candidate with lead-like characteristics and inferred the target of this promising small molecule in H. contortus.

Project description:One of the hallmarks in hypertension is a pressure-induced change in endothelial cell phenotype. A cytoskeletal protein zyxin, which was seen to translocate from focal adhesion contacts to the nucleus in response to the increased wall tensionis, mediates the tension-induced endothelial signaling. Microarrays were used to detail the role of zyxin in the tension-induced expression changes in endothelial cells. Primary endothelial cells (Huvec) from four treatment groups were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays: wild type under normal condition, wild type under tension, Zyxin-SiRNA-treated under normal condition and Zyxin-SiRNA-treated under tension.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in the liver of insulin-deficient mice regulated by icv leptin administration. Control group received icv PBS administration. Icv leptin administration ameliorates hyperglycemia in insulin-deficient mice. Our transcriptome data provides important aspects of the leptin’s anti-type 1 diabetes action. Mice were harvested 10 days after icv leptin administration (25ng/0.11uL/hour). Liver samples were quickly removed, frozen in liquid nitrogen and subsequently stored at –80ºC. RNAs were extracted by Qiagen mRNA extract kits (RNeasy plus). gDNA was eliminated in this procedure by gDNA eliminator column, which is included in Qiagen mRNA extract kits. Genomics and Microarray Core Facility at UT-Southwestern (http://microarray.swmed.edu/) checked RNA quality with Bioanalyzer Chip and processed the samples for hybridization with Illumina Mouse-6 V2 BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA).
