Project description:Group A Streptococcus (GAS) remains one of the top 10 deadliest human pathogens worldwide despite its sensitivity to penicillin. Although the most common GAS infection is pharyngitis (strep throat), it also causes life-threatening systemic infections. A series of complex networks between host and pathogen drive invasive infections, which have not been comprehensively mapped. Attempting to map these interactions, we examined organ-level protein dynamics using a mouse model of systemic GAS infection. We quantified over 11,000 proteins, defining organ-specific markers for all analyzed tissues. From this analysis, an atlas of dynamically regulated proteins and pathways was constructed. Through statistical methods, we narrowed organ-specific markers of infection to 34 from the defined atlas. We show these markers are trackable in blood of infected mice, and a subset has been observed in plasma samples from GAS-infected clinical patients. This proteomics-based strategy provides insight into host defense responses, establishes potentially useful targets for therapeutic intervention, and presents biomarkers for determining affected organs during bacterial infection.

Project description:The dissemination of pathogens through blood and their establishment within organs lead to severe clinical outcomes. However, the within-host dynamics that underlie pathogen spread to and clearance from systemic organs remain largely uncharacterized. In animal models of infection, the observed pathogen population results from the combined contributions of bacterial replication, persistence, death, and dissemination, each of which can vary across organs. Quantifying the contribution of each these processes is required to interpret and understand experimental phenotypes. Here, we leveraged STAMPR, a new barcoding framework, to investigate the population dynamics of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, a common cause of bacteremia, during murine systemic infection. We show that while bacteria are largely cleared by most organs, organ-specific clearance failures are pervasive and result from dramatic expansions of clones representing less than 0.0001% of the inoculum. Clonal expansion underlies the variability in bacterial burden between animals, and stochastic dissemination of clones profoundly alters the pathogen population structure within organs. Despite variable pathogen expansion events, host bottlenecks are consistent yet highly sensitive to infection variables, including inoculum size and macrophage depletion. We adapted our barcoding methodology to facilitate multiplexed validation of bacterial fitness determinants identified with transposon mutagenesis and confirmed the importance of bacterial hexose metabolism and cell envelope homeostasis pathways for organ-specific pathogen survival. Collectively, our findings provide a comprehensive map of the population biology that underlies bacterial systemic infection and a framework for barcode-based high-resolution mapping of infection dynamics.

Project description:Protein abundance profiling using isobaric labeling is a well-established quantitative mass spectrometry technique. However, ratio distortion resulting from co-isolated and co-fragmented ions - commonly referred to as interference - remains a caveat of this technique. Tribrid mass spectrometers, such as the Orbitrap Fusion and the Orbitrap Fusion Lumos with a triple mass analyzer configuration, facilitate methods (namely SPS-MS3) that can help alleviate interference. Yet, few standards are available to measure interference. Here we introduce the TKO6 standard that assesses ion interference and is designed specifically for data acquired at low (unit) mass resolution. We use TKO6 to compare the degree of interference in MS2 versus MS3-based quantitation methods, data acquisition methods of different lengths, and ion trap-based TMT reporter ion analysis (IT-MS3). We show that the TKO6 standard is a valuable tool for assessing data quality and is particularly useful for benchmarking ion trap-based SPS-MS3 analyses.

Project description:The MM500 study is an initiative to map the protein levels in malignant melanoma tumor samples, focused on in-depth histopathology coupled to proteome characterization. The protein levels and localization were determined for a broad spectrum of diverse, surgically isolated melanoma tumors originating from multiple body locations. More than 15,500 proteoforms were identified by mass spectrometry, from which chromosomal and subcellular localization was annotated within both primary and metastatic melanoma. The data generated by global proteomic experiments covered 72% of the proteins identified in the recently reported high stringency blueprint of the human proteome. This study contributes to the NIH Cancer Moonshot initiative combining detailed histopathological presentation with the molecular characterization for 505 melanoma tumor samples, localized in 26 organs from 232 patients.

Project description:Fungal sepsis remains a major health threat with high mortality, where the adrenal gland stress response has been rarely reported. Candida albicans (C.albicans) is the most common opportunistic fungal pathogen of life-threatening disseminated candidiasis and fungal sepsis. In the present study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) using the 10x Genomics platform to analyze the changes in murine adrenal transcriptome following systemic C.albicans infection. A total of 16 021 cells were categorized into 18 transcriptionally distinct clusters, representing adrenocortical cells, endothelial cells, various immune cells, mesenchymal cells, smooth muscle cells, adrenal capsule, chromaffin cells, neurons and glials. As the main cell component in the adrenal gland responsible for steroidogenesis, the adrenocortical cells dramatically diminished and were further grouped into 10 subclusters, which differently distributed in the infected and uninfected samples. Pseudo-time analysis revealed transitions of the adrenocortical cells from the initial normal states to active or dysfunctional states following systemic C.albicans infection via two trajectory paths. Endothelial cells in the highly vascularized organ of adrenal gland further proliferated following infection, with the upregulation of genes positively regulating angiogenesis and downregulation of protective genes of endothelial cells. Immune cells were also excessively infiltrated in adrenal glands of C.albicans-infected mice. Macrophages dominated the immune microenvironments in murine adrenal glands both before and after C.albicans infection, mediating the crosstalk among the steroid-producing cells, endothelial cells and immune cells within the adrenal gland. NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3, encoded by Nlrp3) and complement receptor 3 (CR3, encoded by Itgam) were found to be significantly upregulated on the adrenal macrophages upon systemic C.albicans infection and might play critical roles in mediating the myeloid response. Meanwhile, the number and strength of the interactions between the infiltrating immune cells and adrenal resident cells were unveiled by cell-cell communication analysis to be dramatically increased after systemic C.albicans infection, indicating that the immune-adrenal crosstalk might contribute to the compromised functions of adrenal cells. Overall, our comprehensive picture of the murine adrenal gland microenvironment in systemic C.albicans infection provides deeper insights into the immune-adrenal cell communications during fungal sepsis.

Project description:Awareness of estrogen's effects on health is broadening rapidly. The effects of long-term high levels of estrogen on the body involve multiple organs. Here, we used both single-cell chromatin accessibility and RNA sequencing data to analyze the potential effect of estrogen on major organs. The integrated cell map enabled in-depth dissection and comparison of molecular dynamics, cell-type compositions, and cellular heterogeneity across multiple tissues and organs under estrogen stimulation. We also inferred pseudotime cell trajectories and cell-cell communications to uncover key molecular signatures underlying their cellular processes in major organs in response to estrogen. For example, estrogen could induce the differentiation of IFIT3 + neutrophils into S100A9 + neutrophils involved in the function of endosome-to-lysosome transport and the multivesicular body sorting pathway in liver tissues. Furthermore, through integration with human genome-wide association study data, we further identified a subset of risk genes during disease development that were induced by estrogen, such as AKT1 (related to endometrial cancer), CCND1 (related to breast cancer), HSPH1 (related to colorectal cancer), and COVID-19 and asthma-related risk genes. Our work uncovers the impact of estrogen on the major organs, constitutes a useful resource, and reveals the contribution and mechanism of estrogen to related diseases.

Project description:ObjectivesTo describe pelvic organ prolapse surgical success rates using a variety of definitions with differing requirements for anatomic, symptomatic, or re-treatment outcomes.MethodsEighteen different surgical success definitions were evaluated in participants who underwent abdominal sacrocolpopexy within the Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Efforts trial. The participants' assessments of overall improvement and rating of treatment success were compared between surgical success and failure for each of the definitions studied. The Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to identify significant differences in outcomes between success and failure.ResultsTreatment success varied widely depending on definition used (19.2-97.2%). Approximately 71% of the participants considered their surgery "very successful," and 85.2% considered themselves "much better" than before surgery. Definitions of success requiring all anatomic support to be proximal to the hymen had the lowest treatment success (19.2-57.6%). Approximately 94% achieved surgical success when it was defined as the absence of prolapse beyond the hymen. Subjective cure (absence of bulge symptoms) occurred in 92.1% while absence of re-treatment occurred in 97.2% of participants. Subjective cure was associated with significant improvements in the patient's assessment of both treatment success and overall improvement, more so than any other definition considered (P<.001 and <.001, respectively). Similarly, the greatest difference in symptom burden and health-related quality of life as measured by the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Impact Questionnaire scores between treatment successes and failures was noted when success was defined as subjective cure (P<.001).ConclusionThe definition of success substantially affects treatment success rates after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. The absence of vaginal bulge symptoms postoperatively has a significant relationship with a patient's assessment of overall improvement, while anatomic success alone does not.Level of evidenceII.

Project description:Multiplexing strategies are at the forefront of mass spectrometry-based proteomics, with SPS-MS3 methods becoming increasingly commonplace. A known caveat of isobaric multiplexing is interference resulting from co-isolated and co-fragmented ions that do not originate from the selected precursor of interest. The triple knockout (TKO) standard was designed to benchmark data collection strategies to minimize interference. However, a limitation to its widespread use has been the lack of an automated analysis platform. Here, we present a TKO Visualization Tool (TVT). The TVT viewer allows for automated, web-based, database searching of the TKO standard, returning traditional figures of merit, such as peptide and protein counts, scan-specific ion accumulation times, as well as the TKO-specific metric, the IFI (interference-free index). Moreover, the TVT viewer allows for plotting of multiple TKO standards to assess protocol optimizations, compare instruments, or measure degradation of instrument performance over time. To showcase the TVT viewer, we investigated the selection of 1) stationary phase resin, 2) MS2 isolation window width, and 3) number of SPS ions for SPS-MS3 analysis. Using the TVT viewer will allow the proteomics community to search and compare TKO results to optimize user-specific data collection workflows.
