Project description:Animal cell culture, with single cells growing in suspension, ideally in a chemically defined environment, is the workhorse of biopharmaceutical production. The synthetic environment lacks exogenous growth factors and usually requires a time-consuming adaptation process to select cell clones that proliferate in suspension to high cell numbers. The molecular mechanisms that facilitate the adaptation and that take place inside the cell are largely unknown. Especially for cell lines that are used for virus antigen production such as baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, the restriction of virus growth through the evolution of undesired cell characteristics properties is highly unwanted. The comparison between adherently growing BHK cells and suspension cells with different susceptibility to foot-and-mouth disease virus revealed differences in the expression of cellular receptors such as integrins and heparan sulfates, and in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Transcriptome analyses and growth kinetics demonstrated the diversity of BHK cell clones and confirmed the importance of well-characterized parental cell clones and mindful screening to make sure that essential cellular features do not get lost during adaptation.

Project description:Here we report the data generated by short-read sequencing of mRNA (polyA) isolated from granuloma annulare and leprosy skin lesions. Our main aim was to identify putative mRNA biomarkers for distinguishing leprosy from other differential diagnoses. Additionally, we also explored the distinction between MB and PB by using differential expression analysis as well as training a penalized logistic regression to select important features. Our results showed that few genes are enough to differentiate leprosy lesions, including paucibacillary cases, from other morphological and histopathological similar skin diseases. Some of these genes have been replicated in a larger and more heterogeneous sample with RT-qPCR, validating their classification potential. We also suggest important novel gene candidates to improve our understanding of molecular differences between MB and PB lesions, which could either pinpoint new pathways and targets for host-based specialized adjuvant treatment for leprosy. Finally, this dataset has been used to explore the relationship between cornification and keratinocyte-related genes and TGFB-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which could indicate that in skin, M. leprae could be de-differentiating, directly or indirectly, other cell types into a progenitor/stem-like phenotype, facilitating mycobacterial survival and migration within the host. Alternatively, this could highlight which pathways are activated during granuloma formation and/or skin barrier assembly/disassembly.

Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms of feed efficiency is an important step toward sustainability of salmonids aquaculture. In this study, the liver and white muscle proteomes of efficient (EFF) and inefficient (INEFF) Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) farmed in sea water were investigated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach. In total, 2,746 liver and 702 white muscle quantified proteins were compared between 21 EFF and 22 INEFF fish. Protein synthesis was enriched in both liver and white muscle of the EFF group while conversely, pathways related to protein degradation (amino acid catabolism and proteolysis, respectively) were the most affected processes in the liver and white muscle of INEFF fish. The SOM in the INEFF group was significantly higher than EFF fish showing INEFF fish probably was the dominant group. The INEFF group (dominant) suffered stress and shifted to consume energy through protein catabolism. As the first study, the results provide a preliminary picture of the fundamental molecular landscape of feed efficiency in Chinook salmon farmed in sea water

Project description:Marek's disease virus (MDV) belongs to the alphaherpesviruses and is the causative agent of fatal T cell lymphomas in chickens. Aftermaths of MDV infections lead to substantial losses in poultry industry and there is evidence that MDV constantly evolves towards higher virulence. This study takes a detailed look at the very first step of the viral life cycle in the host: the infection of B cells. Recently, it has become possible to culture and infect primary chicken B cells ex vivo, enabling us to apply those cells to RNAseq analysis. Here, we provide novel insights into MDV gene expression profiles and post-transcriptional modifications of this important poultry pathogen in its primary target cells for lytic replication. Remarkably enough, we could detect a novel hypothetical MDV gene, identify multicistronic transcripts and previously unannotated splice forms. These findings lay the foundation for future research on MDV replication and pathogenesis and the developed bioinformatics pipeline can be easily transferred to other herpesviruses or large DNA viruses to identify unknown transcript isoforms and associated motifs.

Project description:Lung cancers are a heterogeneous group of diseases with respect to biology and clinical behavior. Currently, diagnosis and classification are based on histological morphology and immunohistological methods for discrimination between two main histologic groups: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer which account for 20% and 80% of lung carcinomas, respectively. NSCLCs, which are divided into the three major subtypes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and dedifferentiated large cell carcinoma, show different characteristics such as the expression of certain keratins or production of mucin and lack of neuroedocrine differentiation. The molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer involves the accumulation of genetic und epigenetic alterations including the activation of proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes which are different for lung cancer subgroups. The development of microarray technologies opened up the possibility to quantify the expression of a large number of genes simultaneously in a given sample. There are several recent reports on expression profiling on lung cancers but the analysis interpretation of the results might be difficult because of the heterogeneity of cellular components. The methods used for sample selection and processing can have a strong influence on the expression values obtained through microarray profiling. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) provides higher specificity in the selection of target cells compared to traditional bulk tissue selection methods, but at an increased processing cost. Here we describe the use of an expression microarray study on NSCLC samples and surrounding tissue, comparing macroscopic lung tumor and tissue samples (“grind and bind”), versus tumor and alveolar compartment cells laser capture microdissected (LCM) from the same macroscopic lung samples. In this study, a set of 31 pairs and one non-paired sample of macroscopic tumor and non-tumor samples (10 pairs and 1 non-paired sample squamous-cell carcinoma, 19 pairs and one non-paired samples adenocarcinoma, 2 pairs adeno-squamous-cell carcinoma) was selected for bulk/macro sampling. Of these 31 pairs and 2 non-paired samples, 16 pairs plus 15 non paired samples were reanalyzed using laser capture microdissection (LCM) for sampling the cells (7 pairs and 3 non-paired samples squamous-cell carcinoma, 8 pairs and 11 non-paired samples adeno carcinomas, 1 pair and 1 non paired sample Adeno-squamous-cell carcinoma). For macroscopic samples, 50 to 80 µg of tissue was used to isolate total RNA. Gene expression profile was determined using Affymetrix Human Genome Gene 1.0 ST genechip. For the LCM samples, from representative slides histologically confirmed and mapped by a pathologist, approximately 1000 cells/sample were collected by LCM;. cDNA was amplified using Nugen WT-Ovation One-Direct amplification system. Here we describe the use of an expression microarray study on NSCLC samples and surrounding tissue, comparing macroscopic lung tumor and tissue samples (“grind and bind”), versus tumor and alveolar compartment cells laser capture microdissected (LCM) from the same macroscopic lung samples.

Project description:Hibernation is a complex physiological state often exploited by animals under adverse environmental conditions. It involves large changes in metabolism and cellular function, with many stress responses modulated to tolerate physiological challenges that would otherwise be lethal. This study explores transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of hibernation in a reptile (the central bearded dragon; Pogona vitticeps) throughout the hibernation season. To better understand molecular dynamics of this remarkable process, total RNA and protein was analyzed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle at three time points; late hibernation, two days post-arousal, and two months post-arousal.
