Project description:We investigated an improved method that combines competitive PCR and microarray techniques. This approach allowed us to quantify specific bacterial groups mounted on DNA chips with accuracy close to that of real-time PCR, despite a measurement at the end point of PCR, and also to estimate the bacterial DNA content in sample DNA.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in many different cellular, developmental, and physiological processes. Accordingly, numerous methods have been established to identify and quantify miRNAs. The shortness of miRNA sequence results in a high dynamic range of melting temperatures and, moreover, impedes a proper selection of detection probes or optimized PCR primers. While miRNA microarrays allow for massive parallel and accurate relative measurement of all known miRNAs, they have so far been less useful as an assay for absolute quantification. Here, we present a microarray based approach for global and absolute quantification of miRNAs. The method relies on an equimolar pool of about 1000 synthetic miRNAs of known concentration which is used as an universal reference and labeled and hybridized in a dual colour approach on the same array as the sample of interest. Each single miRNA is quantified with respect to the universal reference outbalancing bias related to sequence, labeling, hybridization or signal detection method. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method by various spike in experiments. Further, we quantified miRNA copy numbers in liver samples and CD34(+)CD133(-) hematopoietic stem cells.

Total liver RNA was mixed with 2.5 fmol of each of 18 RNA oligonucleotides reverse complement to miRControl 3 probes and subsequently fluorescently labelled by 3â ligation. Total RNA mix was hybridized in a dual colour approach to microarrays versus a second labelled synthetic miRNA pool (n = 6). The synthetic miRNA pool consisted of 2.5 fmol of each of 891 non redundant miRNAs sequences and miRControl 3 sequences. The array data was normalized by calculating the median of the miRControl 3 present in the liver and UR sample. The miRNA amount was calculated with respect to the corresponding miRNA in the UR.

The RNA extracted from 7 x 10^ 5 to 1 x 10^ 6 CD34(+)/CD133(-) cells of three different donors was analyzed. 1 µg of respective total RNA was mixed with 2.5 fmol of each of 18 RNA oligonucleotides reverse complement to miRControl 3 probes and subsequently fluorescently labelled by 3’ ligation. Total RNA mix was hybridized in a dual colour approach to microarrays versus a second labelled synthetic miRNA pool. The synthetic miRNA pool consisted of 2.5 fmol of each of 954 non redundant miRNAs sequences and miRControl 3 sequences. The array data was normalized by calculating the median of the miRControl 3 present in the CD34(+)/CD133(-) and UR sample. The miRNA amount was calculated with respect to the corresponding miRNA in the UR.

Project description:Absolute quantification of proteome is one of the most important tasks in proteomic research. The aim in this analysis is providing proof-of-principle of our originally developed strategy for absolute quantification of multiple proteins present at various concentrations in a cell, using stable isotope-labeled peptide concatenated standard (PCS). This study also provides insights into structures of regulation of metabolic pathway and into biological mechanisms for regulation of expressed protein abundance.

Project description:Recent developments in genomic sequencing technology have enabled comprehensive transcriptome analyses of single cells. In contrast, single cell proteomics analyses have been restricted to targeted analyses, for example using flow cytometry with GFP fusions or mass cytometry. Here, we performed global absolute protein quantification of single Xenopus laevis eggs using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. We quantified over 5800 proteins, thus representing the largest single cell proteome that has been characterized to date. Absolute protein amounts in single eggs are highly comparable, thus indicating a tight regulation of global protein abundance. Comparison between the single-cell proteome and transcriptome reveal poor expression correlation. Finally, we identified 439 proteins that significantly change in abundance during early embryogenesis. Many of these proteins do not show regulation at the transcript level. Altogether, our data reveal that the transcriptome is a poor indicator of the proteome and that protein levels are tightly controlled in Xenopus leavis eggs. RNA-seq in Xenopus laevis of 5 replicates of both single eggs and single embryos.
