Changes in the urinary proteome of rats after short-term intake of minerals

ABSTRACT: Magnesium is an important mineral in living organisms and has multiple functions in the human body, wherein it plays an important therapeutic and preventive role in a variety of diseases. In the present study, urine samples of rats before and after gavage of magnesium threonate were collected, and the urinary proteome was identified using the LC-MS/MS technique and analyzed using various databases. The results illustrated that the urinary proteome of rats was significantly altered after short-term intake of magnesium supplements and that the differential proteins and the biological functions were related to magnesium. This study innovatively establishes a method to study nutrients from the perspective of urine proteomics. This work demonstrates that the urinary proteome is capable of reflecting the effects of nutrient intake on the organism in a more systematic and comprehensive manner and has the potential to provide clues for clinical nutrition research and practice.

Robustness of urinary extracellular vesicle-derived miRNA profiles over multiple days and the impact of urine concentration

Project description:Urinary extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising noninvasive biomarkers for disease prediction. However, fluctuations in urine concentration throughout the day may influence miRNA abundance and profiles, potentially limiting their clinical utility. To ensure the broader applicability of urinary miRNAs in disease prediction, it is essential that their profiles remain stable regardless of collection time. In this study, we systematically examined factors influencing urinary miRNA abundance and assessed the stability of miRNA profiles. We collected serial urine samples from healthy individuals over three days, and performed small RNA sequencing to analyze urinary miRNA profiles in relation to various urine concentration parameters. Total miRNA counts were negatively correlated with urine volume and positively correlated with urine concentration indicators, including specific gravity and creatinine levels. miRNA profiles remained stable across different times and days when samples with low miRNA counts were excluded. These findings indicate that urine dilution—primarily due to fluid intake—is a major cause of variation in urinary miRNA abundance. Our results highlight the importance of collecting adequately concentrated samples and provide foundational insights for developing standardized urine collection protocols to enhance the reliability of urinary miRNAs as biomarkers.

Molecular complexity of the major urinary protein system of the Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus C4PR_LIV

Project description:Major urinary proteins (MUP) are the major component of the urinary protein fraction in house mice (Mus spp.) and rats (Rattus spp.). The structure, polymorphism and functions of these lipocalins have been well described in the western European house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus), clarifying their role in semiochemical communication. The complexity of these roles in the mouse raises the question of similar functions in other rodents, including the Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus. Norway rats express MUPs in urine but information about specific MUP isoform sequences and functions is limited. In this study, we present a detailed molecular characterization of the MUP proteoforms expressed in the urine of two laboratory strains, Wistar Han and Brown Norway, and wild caught animals, using a combination of manual gene annotation, intact protein mass spectrometry and bottom-up mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches. Detailed sequencing of the urinary MUP isoforms reveals a less complex pattern of primary sequence polymorphism in the rat than the mouse. However, rat MUPs exhibit added complexity in the form of post-translational modifications, including the phosphorylation of Ser4 in some isoforms, and exoproteolytic trimming of specific isoforms.

Specific normalization of urinary mRNAs reveals genome-wide patterns associated with renal allograft subclinical injury

Project description:urinary mRNA quantification using an Agilent 60k microarray in 26 stable kidney transplant patients with or without renal partial Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Subclinical pathological features on the 3-month biopsy of renal allografts predict a poor prognosis, but it is unclear whether surveillance biopsies are beneficial. Non-invasive biomarkers are wanted, and urinary pellet RNA quantification of selected candidate genes has been used with some success do detect overt rejection. We performed a mRNA microarray study using different normalization methods on the urinary cell pellet to evaluate the feasibility of using urine to detect renal partial epithelial mesenchymal transition of the renal allograft (renal pEMT) non-invasively in a group of 26 stable transplanted patients. We found that, when using a novel method of normalization by Upk1a mRNA, renal pEMT of the renal allograft was associated in urine with differential expression of genes belonging to predefined gene sets of kidney-expressed genes and epithelial mesenchymal transition genes. An unbiased pathway analysis revealed that the immune response was the main urinary biological process associated with pEMT in the kidney. In urine from patients with pristine biopsies, pEMT was not associated with inflammation, but with reduced metabolic functions. Thus, we show that pEMT translates into specific UPK1a-normalized mRNA patterns in urine and use genome-wide analyses to characterize underlying molecular patterns, i.e. increased inflammation and decreased metabolic functions.

Profiling of cow urinary proteins using various extraction methods reveals more than 1550 proteins

Project description:Urine can help in diagnosis of different diseases including cancer and other patho-physiological conditions. Urine proteome studies have been mainly human- centric. No information is available on urinary proteome from bovine till date. In the present study, we have used 3 protein extraction methods such as ammonium sulphate precipitation, ProteoSpin column and diafiltration method from bovine urine for identification of urinary proteome. The tryptic peptides generated after In-gel and In-solution method were identified using LC/MS/MS (ESI-qTOF) which resulted in identification of 1582 proteins. In-gel trypsin digestion method revealed more protein (1191) in comparison to in-solution digestion method (541). Maximum proteins were identified in ammonium sulphate precipitation method (938) followed by ProteoSpin (606) and diafiltration (444) methods respectively. The profile of the identified proteins were compared with human urinary proteome of which 311 bovine urinary proteins matched with human. An exclusive list of 38 bovine urinary proteins with high protein scores were listed which are absent in human urine. All identified proteins were analyzed according to Gene Ontology which were classified according to cellular component, biological processes and molecular functions. This study reports for the first time an exclusive evidence of more than 1550 proteins in urine of healthy cow donors.

A systems-level analysis of bile acids effects on rat colon epithelial cells

Project description:Bile acid diarrhoea is a chronic condition caused by increased delivery of bile acids to the colon. The underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. To investigate genes involved in bile acid diarrhoea, systems-level analyses were employed on a rat bile acid diarrhoea model. Twelve male Wistar Munich rats, housed in metabolic cages, were fed either control or bile acid-mixed (1% w/w) diets for ten days. Food intake, water intake, urine volume, bodyweight and faecal output were monitored daily. After euthanasia, colonic epithelial cells were isolated using calcium-chelation and processed for systems-level analyses, i.e. RNA-sequencing transcriptomics and mass spectrometry proteomics. Bile acid-fed rats suffered diarrhoea, indicated by increased drinking, faeces weight and faecal water content compared with control rats. Urine output was unchanged. With bile acid-feeding, RNA-sequencing revealed 204 increased and 401 decreased mRNAs; mass spectrometry 183 increased and 111 decreased proteins. Among the altered genes were genes associated with electrolyte and water transport (including Slc12a7, Clca4 and Aqp3) and genes associated with bile acid transport (Slc2b1, Abcg2, Slc51a, Slc51b and Fabps). Correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation (Pearson’s r=0.28) between changes in mRNA-expression and changes in protein-expression. However, caution must be exercised in making a direct correlation between experimentally determined transcriptomes and proteomes. Genes associated with bile acid transport responded to bile acid-feeding, suggesting that colonic bile acid transport occur by regulated protein facilitated mechanisms rather than passive diffusion. In addition, the study provides annotated rat colonic epithelial cell transcriptome and proteome with response to bile acid-feeding.

Urine Cell-Free RNA versus Plasma Cell-Free RNA for Monitoring of Immune and Urinary Tract Complications

Project description:While it is well known that cell-free RNA (cfRNA) can be isolated from urine, the diagnostic potential of this urine cfRNA, especially in comparison to plasma cfRNA, remains underexplored. Here, we directly compared the utility of urine cfRNA and plasma cfRNA for the monitoring of systemic and urinary tract related complications. We analyzed 272 matched plasma and urine cfRNA isolates obtained from three cohorts of patients: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) recipients, patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), and healthy volunteers. The data highlight the unique cellular origins and properties of urinary and plasma RNA. Most importantly, we find that although plasma cfRNA is a superior analyte for monitoring immune and systemic complications, urinary cfRNA is more sensitive to complications of the urinary tract, including cell-type specific injury in the kidney. These findings highlight the potential of urine cfRNA as a novel analyte in diagnostic medicine.

In vitro stimulation of mouse spleen cells by mouse urine

Project description:Urinary tract-associated lymphoid structures (UTLASs), tertiary lymphoid tissues, are formed in renal pelvis (RP) of humans and mice with chronic kidney disease. We found that UTALS development was accelerated by urine leakage from RP lumen to the parenchyma following dysfunction of transitional epithelium covering UTLASs. Thus, UTALS-forming cells were stimulated by urine including urinary bio active substances.

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis of cells from human urine

Project description:Urine passes through the entire kidney and urinary tract system starting from the glomerulus and ending to the urethra. Cells in the kidney and urinary tract could be exfoliated from the epithelium into the urine, while leukocyte could infiltrate from the local tissue into the urine, which makes the urine a useful subject for clinical evaluation of relevant diseases. We performed scRNA-seq on voided urine samples. 50–100 mL middle stream urine samples were collected from 12 Chinese healthy adults and combined for droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing after flow cytometric sorting of live cells. We presented the first single-cell atlas of adult human urine and identified multiple previously unrecognized cell types. Based on our scRNA-seq analysis data, a SOX9+ cell population was identified in adult human urine which we speculated to have progenitor potential.

Urinary protein changes during the short-term growth and development of rats

Project description:Can the urine proteome reflect short-term changes in the growth and development of animals? Do short-term developmental effects on urinary protein need to be considered when performing urine marker studies using model animals with faster growing periods? In this study, urine samples were collected from 10 Wistar rats aged 6-8 weeks 3 and 6 days apart. The results showed that the urine proteome could sensitively reflect short-term growth and development in rats. For example, comparing the urine proteome of Day 0 and Day 6, 195 differential proteins were identified after screening (FC ≥ 1.5 or ≤ 0.67, P < 0.05), and verified by randomization, the average number of randomly generated differential proteins was 17.99. At least 90.77% of the differential proteins were not randomly generated. This finding demonstrates that the differential proteins identified in the samples collected at different time points were not randomly generated. A large number of biological processes and pathways related to growth and development were enriched, which shows that the urine proteome reflects the short-term growth and development of rats, and provides a means for in-depth and meticulous study of growth and development. Moreover, an interfering factor in animal experiments using 6- to 8-week-old rats to construct models was identified. The results of this study demonstrated that there were differences in the urinary proteome in rats aged 6-8 weeks only 3-6 days apart, which suggests that the sensitivity of urinary proteomics is high and shows the sensitive and precise response of the urinary proteome to body changes.
