Project description:We used deep sequencing to characterize 3 families of sRNAs (piRNAs, miRNAs, and tRFs) present in Sus scrofa gonads and focused on the sRNA fraction present in both male and female gonads. Of the sequences detected in the testes, 2.6% of piRNAs, 9% of miRNAs, and 10% of tRFs were also present in the ovaries. Notably, the majority of the shared piRNAs mapped to the introns of ribosomal RNAs and were derived from clustered loci. In addition, the most abundant miRNAs present in the ovaries and testes are conserved and are involved in many biological processes such as the regulation of homeobox genes, the control of cell proliferation, and carcinogenesis. Unexpectedly, we detected a novel sRNA type, the tRFs, which are 30–36-nt RNA fragments derived from tRNA molecules, in gonads Determination miRNA, piRNA and tRF expression in swine gonads

Project description:Study objectives: Acute sleep deprivation affects both central and peripheral biological processes. Prior research has mainly focused on specific proteins or biological pathways that are dysregulated in the setting of sustained wakefulness. This pilotexploratory study’s objective wasaimed to provide a comprehensive view of the biological processes and proteins impacted by acute sleep deprivation in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: We collected plasma and CSF from human participants during one night of sleep deprivation and control normal sleep conditions. 1300 proteins were measured at hour 0 and hour 24 using a high-scale aptamer-based proteomics platform (SOMAomascan) and a systematics biological database tool (Metascape) was used to reveal dysregulated biological pathways. Results: Acute sleep deprivation lead to opposite effects in plasma and CSF, decreasingdecreased the number of upregulated and downregulated differential protein expression and biological pathways and proteins in plasma but increased upregulated and downregulated protein and biological pathwayssing them in CSF. Predominantly affected pProteins and n pathways were associated with that were predominantly affected by sleep deprivation included immune response, inflammation, phosphorylation, membrane signaling, cell-cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix organization. Conclusions: The identified modification across biofluids adds to evidence that acute sleep deprivation has important impacts on biological pathways and proteins that can negatively affect human health. As a hypothesis-driving study, these findings may help with the exploration of novel mechanisms that mediate sleep loss and associated conditions, drive the discovery of new sleep loss biomarkers, and ultimately aid in the identification of new targets for intervention to human diseases.

Project description:Embryonic and fetal development can be affected during gestation by exposure to xenobiotics that cross the placenta. Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are emerging contaminants commonly found in indoor environments; however, whether they can cross the placenta and affect placental development remains unexplored. Here, we developed an evaluation system that integrates human biomonitoring, uterine perfusion in pregnant rats, and placental cells. We found fourteen out of the fifty-six LCMs that were detected in maternal and cord serum samples from ninety-three healthy pregnant women, at median levels of 13.9 and 18.1 ng/mL, respectively. Subsequent exploration of in utero exposure in rats indicated that aromatic amino acid transporter 1 (SLC16A10) mediated transplacental transportation of the LCMs. Placental cells exposed to LCMs exhibited delayed placental development and reduced progesterone release. These findings showed that SLC16A10-mediated transplacental transportation of LCMs inhibits placental development and progesterone release, highlighting the importance of gestational exposure to emerging contaminants.

Project description:HeLa cell extracts with or without GSK3 enzyme inhibition were assayed using protein microarrays in order to detect GSK3-dependent changes in protein polyubiquitination. HeLa lysates in triplicates were supplemented with ubiquitin and incubated on protein microarrays (ProtoArray 5.0; Invitrogen) in the presence or absence of the GSK3 inhibitor SB-216763. Polyubiquitination of the arrayed proteins was detected using specific antibodies. ProtoArray 5.0 contains over 9,000 full-length human proteins purified and arrayed in duplicate under native conditions to maximize functionality.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of individual mouse embryonic (e11.5) XY gonads comparing inbred strains that are sensitive (C57BL/6J) and resistant (129S1/SvImJ) to XY sex reversal, and their reciprocal F1 hybrids. Experiment Overall Design: Two-color Agilent microarray profiles of 20 individual pairs of e11.5 XY gonads, including 5- C57BL/6J, 5- 129S1/SvImJ, 5- (B6x129S1)F1, and 5- (129S1xB6)F1 samples. Within each strain, samples were collected from multiple litters to account for potential litter biases. All samples were processed following the same protocol.

Project description:We report the proteomic characterization of gonads from wild P. lividus collected along coastal Sardinia, and describe the changes occurring in gonads according to sex and developmental stage. Gonads in the recovery, pre-mature, mature, and spent stages were analyzed using a shotgun proteomics approach based on filter-aided sample preparation followed by tandem mass spectrometry and label-free differential analysis. A detailed characterization of the proteome changes occurring in gonads of both sexes along maturation was achieved. Significant changes were seen in numerous proteins involved in nutrient accumulation and in gamete biology and maturation. Adding to an improved understanding of the P. lividus reproductive cycle in its natural environment, the results described in this work form the basis for defining novel protein markers and procedures for an easier sexing and staging, and for monitoring sea urchin gonad maturation in aquaculture plants.

Project description:For women identified as at risk for preterm birth attributable to a sonographic short cervix, the determination of imminent delivery is crucial for patient management. The current study aimed to identify amniotic fluid proteins that could predict imminent delivery in asymptomatic patients with a short cervix. An aptamer-based multiplex platform was used to profile 1,310 AF proteins, and the significance of protein dysregulation was determined by moderated t-tests between women who destined to deliver within two weeks of amnicentesis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to determine whether protein abundance in combination with cervical length improved the prediction of imminent delivery after amnicentesis as compared to cervical length alone.
