Project description:Molecular characterization of antibodies M7, and M11.7, as well as the antiTNF alpha antibody in addition to the synthetic peptides P11-P17 and P21-P32. The M7 and M11.7 anti-human cardiac Troponin T (antihcTnT) antibodies from Roche Diagnostics Deutschland GmbH (Mannheim, Germany) and the antiTNF alpha antibody from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA, cat.no. 28401) were reconstituted and diluted with 200 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.7, for nano-electrospray mass spectrometry. Molecular masses were determined. Synthesized peptides P11-P17 and P21-P32, delivered by 'Peptide&Elephants' (Henningsdorf, Germany), were dissolved in 200 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.7, and also forwarded to nano-electrospray mass spectrometric analysis. Molecular masses and amino acid sequences were determined by mass spectrometric fragmentation of precursor ions. ITEM TWO: The antibodies M7, M11.7 and antiTNF alpha were incubated with selected synthesized peptides to generate solutions which contained the antibody and one synthesized peptide, dissolved in 200 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.7. Antibody – peptide solutions were subjected to nano electrospray mass spectrometric ITEM-TWO analyses to investigate the binding behavior of the antibody and synthesized peptides, such as the apparent binding energies and dissociation constants of the complex dissociation reactions in the gas phase.

Project description:Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is one of the most common precancerous malignant orders (PMO) with high rates exacerbating into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), mostly occurred in patients with chewing betel-nut habits in Southeast Asia and Pacific region. However, the spatial characteristics and heteogeneities of tumor microenvironment (TME) in OSF-associated OSCC still remains unclear. Here, we characterized the spatiotemporal changes of OSF-associated OSCC at different malignant states by performing 10x Visium Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) sequencing and airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI) analysis.

Project description:Nano-flow chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (nLC-MS/MS) is a popular choice in proteome research as it provided high-sensitivity analysis with minimal sample usage, but its quantitative proteomics applications become restricted by low analytical throughput, and low robustness. To circumvent this limitation, we describe the performance of the new Vacuum Insulated Probe Heated ElectroSpray Ionization source (VIP-HESI) coupled to the Bruker timsTOF mass spectrometer and show it enhances micro-spray flow rate chromatography signals in comparison to nanospray source conditions using the CaptiveSpray (CS) and ElectroSpray Ionization (ESI) sources. In addition, using a 0.5 x 200mm and 1 × 150 mm columns, achieved excellent reproducibility of chromatographic retention time, coefficient of variation, and precision quantification using data from un-depleted mouse plasma, HeLa and K562 digest peptide samples.

Project description:In this project, we enabled mass spectrometry based proteomics characterization of single neurons in sections of the mouse brain. We accessed cells in a whole-cell patch clamp configuration and aspirated a portion of the neuronal soma into the patch clamp probe. The collected aspirate was expelled into a microvial, where proteins were extracted and processed for shot-gun analysis. The resulting trace amounts of protein digests were analyzed on a custom-built microanalytical capillary electrophoresis platform that was connected to an electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometer. This “patch proteomics” technology identified ~150 proteins from triplicate measurement of single dopaminergic neurons in the mouse substantia nigra.

Project description:The importance of the mammalian intestinal microbiota to human health has been intensely studied over the past few years. It is now clear that the interactions between human hosts and their associated microbial communities need to be characterized in molecular detail if we are to truly understand human physiology. Additionally, the study of such host-microbe interactions is likely to provide us with new strategies to manipulate such complex systems to maintain or restore homeostasis in order to prevent or cure pathological states. We describe the use of high-throughput metabolomics to shed light on the interactions between the intestinal microbiota and the host. We show that treatment with the antibiotic streptomycin disrupts intestinal homeostasis and has a profound impact on the intestinal metabolome, affecting the levels of over 87% of all metabolites detected. Many metabolic pathways that are critical for host physiology were affected, including bile acid, eicosanoid and steroid hormone synthesis. Interestingly, many of these pathways are also affected by intestinal pathogens. Dissecting the effect of both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria on some of these pathways will be instrumental in understanding the interplay between the host, the resident microbiota and incoming pathogens and may aid in the design of new therapeutic strategies that target these interactions. Age-matched female C57BL/6 mice were used. Fresh feces were collected and stored at -80 oC. Mice were then treated with 20 mg of streptomycin through oral gavage and fresh feces were collected 24 hours after treatment and stored at -80 oC until used. To extract metabolites from feces, acetonitrile was added to samples (approximately 10-25 μL of acetonitrile per 1 mg of tissue), which were then homogenized. The samples were then cleared by centrifugation and the supernatant was collected and dried at room temperature using a centrifuge equipped with a vacuum pump. All extracts were kept at -80 oC until used. For metabolic profiling, the dried extracts from mouse feces were suspended in a 2:3 mixture of water and acetonitrile (10 μL per 1 mg of tissue), vortexed and cleared by centrifugation. Supernatants were collected and used as described below. Extracts were diluted 1:5 with 60% acetonitrile containing either 0.2% formic acid (for positive ion mode) or 0.5% ammonium hydroxide (for negative ion mode) and spiked with predefined amounts of the "ES tuning mix" solution as the internal standard for mass calibration. The solutions were then infused, using a syringe pump (KDS Scientific, Holliston, USA) at a flow rate of 2.5 µL per minute, into a 12-T Apex-Qe hybrid quadrupole-FT-ICR mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, USA) equipped with an Apollo II electrospray ionization source, a quadrupole mass filter and a hexapole collision cell. Data were recorded in positive and negative ion modes with broadband detection and an FT acquisition size of 1024 kilobytes per second, within a range of m/z 150 to 1100. Under these settings, a mass resolution of ca. 100,000 (full width at half maximum, FWHM) at m/z 400 and a mass accuracy within 2 ppm or less for all detected components, following internal mass calibration, were observed. Other experimental parameters were: capillary electrospray voltage of 3600-3750 V, spray shield voltage of 3300-3450 V, source ion accumulation time of 0.1 s and collision cell ion accumulation time of 0.2 s. To increase detection sensitivity, survey scan mass spectra in positive and negative ion modes were acquired from the accumulation of 200 scans per spectrum, and duplicate acquisitions per sample were carried out to ensure data reproducibility. Raw mass spectrometry data were processed as described elsewhere (Han et al. 2008. Metabolomics. 4:128-140). To identify differences in metabolite composition between untreated and treated samples, we first filtered our list of masses for metabolites that were present on one set of samples (untreated or treated) but not the other. Additionally, we averaged the mass intensities of metabolites in each group and calculated the ratios between averaged intensities of metabolites from untreated and treated samples. To assign possible metabolite identities to the masses present in only one of the sample groups or showing at least a 2-fold change in intensities between the sample groups, the monoisotopic neutral masses of interest were queried against MassTrix (http://masstrix.org), a free-access software designed to incorporate masses into metabolic pathways. Masses were searched against the Mus musculus database within a mass error of 3 ppm. Data were analyzed by unpaired t tests with 95% confidence intervals.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is an intraocular childhood tumor which, if left untreated, leads to blindness and mortality. Nucleolin (NCL) protein which is differentially expressed on the tumor cell surface, binds ligands and regulates carcinogenesis and angiogenesis. We found that NCL is over expressed in RB tumor tissues and cell lines compared to normal retina. We studied the effect of nucleolin-aptamer (NCL-APT) to reduce proliferation in RB tumor cells. Aptamer treatment on the RB cell lines (Y79 and WERI-Rb1) led to significant inhibition of cell proliferation. Locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified NCL-APT administered subcutaneously (s.c.) near tumor or intraperitoneally (i.p.) in Y79 xenografted nude mice resulted in 26 and 65% of tumor growth inhibition, respectively. Downregulation of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, tumor miRNA-18a, altered serum cytokines, and serum miRNA-18a levels were observed upon NCL-APT treatment. Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI MS)-based imaging of cell lines and tumor tissues revealed changes in phosphatidylcholines levels upon treatment. Thus, our study provides proof of concept illustrating NCL-APT-based targeted therapeutic strategy and use of DESI MS-based lipid imaging in monitoring therapeutic responses in RB.

Project description:Eriocitrin, found in lemon fruit, has shown a wide range of biological properties. Herein, to evaluate the intestinal metabolic profile of eriocitrin in colon, the flavonoids in mice colon contents were identified by ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS), and a total of 136 flavonoids were found, including eriocitrin and its six metabolites (eriodictyol, homoeriodictyol, hesperetin, eriodictyol-3'-O-glucoside, hesperetin-7-O-glucoside and eriodictyol-7-O-(6''-O-galloyl) glucoside). Mice colon contents were used for 16S rDNA gene sequencing and gas chromatography-mass (GC-MS). Resultu showed that eriocitrin significantly alters the beta diversity of the gut microbiota, the probiotics such as Lachnospiraceae_UCG_006 were significantly enriched, and the production of butyrate, valerate and hexanoate in the colon pool of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were significant increased. The spearman's association analysis performed some intestinal bacteria may be involved in the metabolism of eriocitrin. Collectively, our results preliminarily suggesting the metabolism of eriocitrin in the gut, demonstrate alterations of eriocitrin on gut microbiota, which warrants further investigation to determine its potential use in food and biomedical applications.

Project description:The discovery of dynamic and reversible modifications in messenger RNA (mRNA) is opening new directions in RNA modification-mediated regulation of biological processes. Methylation is the most prevalent modification occurring in mRNA and the methylation group is mainly decorated in the adenine, cytosine, and guanine base, or in the 2’-hydroxyl group of ribose. However, methylation of the uracil base (5-methyluridine, m5U) hasn’t been discovered in mRNA of eukaryotes. In the current study, we established a method by N-cyclohexyl-N’-β-(4-methylmorpholinium) ethylcarbodiimide p-toluenesulfonate (CMCT) labelling coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry analysis (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the sensitive determination of uridine modifications in RNA. Our results demonstrated that the detection sensitivities of uridine modifications in RNA increased up to 1543 folds upon CMCT labelling. Using the developed method, we identified the distinct existence of m5U in mRNA of various mammalian cells and tissues. In addition, the stable isotope tracing monitored by mass spectrometry revealed that the methylation group of m5U originated from S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). Our study expanded the list of modifications occurring in mRNA of mammals. Future work on transcriptome-wide mapping of m5U will further uncover the functional roles of m5U in mRNA of mammals.
