Project description:Mass spectrometry was performed with an Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) interfaced with an UltiMate 3000 Binary RSLCnano System (Dionex). Proteome Discoverer v.1.4 (Thermo Scientific) with SEQUEST HT search engines was used for the spectra-preprocessing and HCD MS2 spectra were used for peptide identification and quantitation based on TMT reporter ions. TMT isobaric comparison of old versus young haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Young 1 and Young 2 are samples 126 and 128 of dataset UTH_1. Old 1 and Old 2 are samples 129 and 130 of UTH_1. Young 3 is sample 131 and Old 3 is sample 130 of dataset UTH_4.
Project description:Aging of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is associated with structural and functional changes that lead to a reduction in regenerative capacity and the development of age-related peripheral neuropathy. Myelin is a central component in maintaining physiological peripheral nerve function, and differences in myelin maintenance, degradation, formation and clearance have been suggested to contribute to age-related PNS changes. In addition, recent proteomic studies have elucidated the complex composition of the total myelin proteome in health and its changes in neuropathy models. However, changes in the myelin proteome of peripheral nerves during ageing have not been investigated. Hence, the aim of this proteomics experiment was to define proteome changes in isolated myelin fractions during ageing, by investigating myelin proteome profiles from young (nerves from 2-3 month old mice) and old (nerves from 18 months old mice) nerves.
Project description:Cumulus cells from the young and old mice were subjected to the TMT6 labeling, HP-RP fractionation, and LC-MS/MS analysis. Cumulus cells surrounding 375 oocytes were collected in each of the three biological replicates. Raw files were analyzed using MaxQuant software.
Project description:The most preclinical used in vivo model to study lung fibrosis is the bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model in 2-3-month-old mice. Although this model resembles key aspects of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), there are limitations in its predictability for the human disease. One of the main differences is the juvenile age of animals that are usually used in experiments, resembling humans of around 20 years. Because IPF patients are usually older than 60 years, aging appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. We here compared young (3 months) and old (21 months) mice 21 days after intratracheal bleomycin instillation.
Project description:Total RNA of B-MSCs from young and old mice were compared using Agilent microarrays. Bone marrow cells from old and young mice were labeled and sorted.
