Project description:Direct-infusion shotgun proteome analysis (DI-SPA) increases throughput by removing liquid chromatography, but the resulting DIA spectra are highly multiplexed and difficult to interpret. This dataset was generated to evaluate ProjDIA, a computational workflow for direct-infusion DIA proteomics. ProjDIA uses fragment-bin projection scoring, confidence-guided two-pass mass-error recalibration, monotone q-value reporting, and semi-supervised rescoring to improve peptide and protein identification confidence. The dataset includes benchmarking experiments across MS2 resolution and sample load, replicate-series analyses, species-entrapment controls for external error assessment, and a three-species mixture for label-free quantification evaluation. The submission contains the raw mass spectrometry files together with processed search and result files used to support the analyses reported in the study.
Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is formed by heterogeneous ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. The patho-mechanism of OPLL is still largely unknown. Recently, disorders of metabolism are thought to be the center of many diseases such as OPLL. Advanced glycation end product (AGE) are accumulated in many extracellular matrixes such as ligament fibers, and it can functions as cellular signal through its receptor (RAGE), contributing to various events such as atherosclerosis or oxidative stress. However, its role in OPLL formation is not yet known. Therefore, we performed high-through-put RNA sequencing on primary posterior longitudinal ligament cells treated with different doses of AGEs (1µM, 5µM and negative control), with or without BMP2 (1µM). mRNA profiles of Primary human posterior longitudinal ligament cells stimulated with various stimuli (Control, 1µM AGE-BSA, 5µM AGE-BSA, 1µM AGE-BSA with BMP2, 5µM AGE-BSA with BMP2) were generated by deep sequencing on Ion Proton
Project description:Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-α inhibitors are clinically active in squamous carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck (H&N) bearing mutations or amplification of PIK3CA. We aimed to identify potential mechanism of resistance and have observed that SCCs cells overcome the antitumor effects of the PI3Kα inhibitor BYL719 by maintaining PI3K-independent activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The persistent mTOR activation is mediated by the tyrosine kinase receptor AXL. We found that AXL is overexpressed in resistant tumors, dimerizes with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphorylates EGFR tyrosine 1173, resulting in activation of phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ)- protein kinase C (PKC) that, in turn, activates mTOR. Finally, simultaneous treatment with PI3Kα and either EGFR, AXL or PKC inhibitors reverts this resistance. RNAseq from acquired resistant cells CAL33B, K180B were compared to their parental counterpart CAL33 and K180, respectively. K180 is a shortcut of KYSE180, and B stands for BYL719. Duplicate of parental sensitive cells and K180B, and triplicate for CAL33B.
Project description:In order to determine whether dis-regulation of a genetic pathway could explain the increased apoptosis of parp-2-/- double positive thymocytes, the gene expression profiles in double positive thymocytes derived from wild-type and parp-2-/- mice were analysed using Affymetrix oligonucleotide chips (mouse genome 430 2.0).
Project description:Flash proteotyping is a methodology for ultra-fast identification of microorganisns by tandem mass spectrometry. Here, we obtained results on five reference strains and ten new bacterial isolates. The methodology is based on direct sample infusion into the mass spectromete and an original, highly sensitive procedure for data processing and taxonomic identification.
Project description:This work aimed to improve sensitivity of targeted detection by orbitrap mass spectrometers. Co-isolation of contaminant ions was identified as the major factor limiting sensitivity, and LOD of both PRM and accumulated precursor ion scanning (AIM) was improved by increased chromatographic resolution.
Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is formed by heterogeneous ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. The patho-mechanism of OPLL is still largely unknown. MicroRNAs are small nucleatides that function as regulators of gene expression in almost any biological process. However, few microRNAs are reported to have a role in the pathological process of OPLL. Therefore, we performed high-throughput microRNA sequencing and transcriptome sequencing of primary OPLL and PLL cells in order to decipher the interacting network of microRNAs in OPLL. MRNA and microRNA profiles were done using primary culture cells of human ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) tissue and normal posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) tissue.
