Project description:Connecting genes to phenotypic traits in bacteria is often challenging because of a lack of environmental cues in laboratory settings. However, laboratory-based model ecosystems offer a means to better account for natural conditions compared to standard planktonic cultures, aiding in the linking of genotypes and phenotypes. Here, we present a simple, cost-effective, laboratory-based model ecosystem to study aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). This system, referred to as the gradient syringe, is made by inoculating bacteria into semi-solid agarose held within a disposable syringe. Empty space at one end of the syringe is flushed with methane gas, while the other end is open to the atmosphere through a sterile filter. We show this system replicates the methane-oxygen counter gradient typically found in the natural soil environment of methanotrophs. Culturing the methanotroph Methylomonas sp. strain LW13 in this system produced a distinct horizontal band at the intersection of the counter gradient, which we discovered was due not to increased cell growth at this location but instead to an increased amount of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). We also discovered that different methanotrophic taxa formed EPS bands with distinct locations and morphologies when grown in the methane-oxygen counter gradient. By comparing transcriptomic data from LW13 growing within and surrounding this EPS band, we identified genes implicated in cell growth and EPS formation within the gradient syringe, and validated the involvement of these genes with knockout strains. This work highlights the use of a laboratory-based model ecosystem that more closely mimics the natural environment to uncover methanotroph phenotypes missing from standard planktonic cultures, and link these phenotypes their genetic determinants.

Project description:To obtain deeper understanding of atmospheric dynamics of the potent greenhouse gas methane, controlling factors of methanotrophs, as the sole biological methane sink, is necessary. Recent research has revealed complex interactions between methanotrophs and heterotrophs, involving volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In environments with high methane concentrations VOC-mediated interactions significantly influence methane cycling and emissions. Here, we employed a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing proteomics, volatile analysis, and measurements of bacterial growth and methane oxidation to elucidate underlying mechanisms of VOC-mediated interactions between heterotrophs and methanotrophs. The results demonstrate that specific VOCs, like dimethylpolysulfides, released by heterotrophic bacteria can inhibit growth and methane uptake of methanotrophs, while other VOCs had the opposite effect. Proteomics analysis revealed differential protein expression patterns depending on exposure to the volatolome of a heterotrophic bacterium or with CO2 added, which was most pronounced with the particulate and soluble methane monooxygenase. The current study demonstrated potential biotic modulation of methanotrophy without direct contact, caused by VOC or CO2 from respiration, or both, with a proteomic response. Although further research is needed to elucidate the specific mechanisms involved, it is clear that methanotroph-heterotroph interactions need to be investigated closer to informs strategies for mitigating emission of the greenhouse gas methane.

Project description:Solid tumors are characterized by significantly lower oxygen (O2) levels. Despite this fact, routine preclinical cancer studies are performed under ambient O2 conditions. We have developed an experimental approach that allows us to collect, process and evaluate cancer and non-cancer cells under physioxia (3-5% O2), in such a way that there is very minimal exposure to air. In addition to evaluating mouse mammary tumor cell lines with respect to kinome changes due to ambient and physioxic O2 tensions, we applied single cell-RNA sequencing to determine transcriptomic changes that occur in primary human breast epithelial cells that were collected, processed and cultured in ambient air and physioxia. We demonstrate that ambient and physioxic O2 tensions induce unique transcriptomic changes in primary human breast epithelial cells that are concurrent with our observations in the tumor cells.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to compare changes in translation (using Gradient Encoding, described below) to changes in mRNA abundance. Lysates of wildtype v-Abl transformed pre-B cells harvested before and after 12 hours of treatment either with 2.5 uM imatinib, a v-Abl kinase inhibitor, or 10ng/mL (10.9 nM) rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, were fractionated by sedimentation through linear sucrose gradients. Gradient fractions were encoded such that the mRNA from successive fractions was labeled with increasing ratios of Cy5 to Cy3. mRNAs derived from fractions in the lighter portion of the gradient therefore have a lower Cy5 to Cy3 ratio, whereas those deeper in the gradient have a higher Cy5 to Cy3 ratio. The ratio of Cy5 to Cy3 for each mRNA therefore reflects its average position within the gradient. We thus encoded the sedimentation rate of each mRNA across the entire gradient. The resulting ratios were quantitatively measured for each mRNA species by hybridization to DNA microarrays, and related to the 260 nm absorbance peaks representing different numbers of ribosomes bound per mRNA Compound Based Treatment: wildtype v-Abl transformed pre-B cells were treated with imatinib mesylate (IMA), rapamycin (RAP) or nothing (NONE)

Project description:Fewer than 50% of patients develop vascular and valvular calcification, implying differential pathogenesis. Tissue-entrapped extracellular vesicles (EVs) are found in mineralization but their contents and functions are unstudied. Tissue EVs were isolated from normal and diseased human carotid arteries and aortic valves by enzymatic digestion, serial (ultra)centrifugation and density-gradient separation. Mass spectrometry characterized the density-gradient separation vs. ultracentrifugation.
