Ago-APP: a GW peptide-based Argonaute affinity capture strategy

ABSTRACT: During microRNA (miRNA)-guided gene silencing, Argonaute (Ago) proteins interact with a member of the TNRC6/GW protein family. Here we used a short GW protein-derived peptide fused to GST and demonstrate that it binds to Ago proteins with high affinity. This allows for the simultaneous isolation of all Ago protein complexes expressed in diverse species to identify associated proteins, small RNAs or target mRNAs. We refer to our method as Ago protein Affinity Purification by Peptides (Ago-APP). Comparison of small RNA lengths in total RNA and APP-enriched RNA samples

Project description:γδ T cells are lymphocytes that function in both innate and adaptive immune responses, and our laboratory has previously reported that both bovine and human γδ T cells are primed for secondary responses by tannin components of the unripe apple peel (APP). In this report we began to investigate the mechanism by which priming occurs. We performed a microarray analysis on sorted bovine γδ T cells treated with APP and observed significant increases in transcripts encoding select inflammatory cytokines, such as GM-CSF, IL-8, and IL-17, but not markers of TCR stimulation such as IFNγ. When injected into the gut of mice, APP induced a robust influx of neutrophils into both the blood and peritoneum as measured by FACS. Importantly, both GM-CSF and IL-8 proteins were detected in these animals. Further studies were performed using the human γδ T cell-line MOLT-14, as large numbers of cells were required for subsequent experiments. Using these cells we found that both the GM-CSF and IL-8 mRNAs were significantly upregulated and stabilized in cells treated with APP. Finally, we show that the ERK1/2 MAPK pathway was activated in APP-treated MOLT-14 cells, and that this pathway plays a role in the mRNA stabilization we observed. Together, our data describe a unique inflammatory response in bovine, murine, and human γδ T cells in response to APP, and suggest that mRNA stability mechanisms could account for the priming phenotype we previously observed.APP has a distinctive gamma delta T cells specific priming activity. Keywords: comparison of 2 treatment types, tannin, gamma delta T cells To begin to understand the effects of APP in innate immunity, we investigated the global gene expression profiles of stimulated bovine gamma delta T cells. Peripheral blood from 2 neonatal bovine calves was collected. gamma delta T cells were sorted to >97% purity using a FACS Vantage. Cells were placed in culture and stimulated with either an aqueous extract of APP (42.2ug/ml) or PBS for 4 hours after which RNA was extracted and processed for microarray analysis following standard protocols from Affymetrix.
