Project description:Vacuoles and lysosomes are single-membrane-bound organelles involved in diverse functions such as intracellular digestion and storage or secretion of metabolites. To understand their origin, evolution and fundamental features, the identification of proteins comprising these compartments in missing links would be invaluable. So, we isolated the vacuoles from Cyanidioschyzon merolae, which is considered to be one of the most primitive photosynthetic eukaryotes, and identified 46 proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry. Keywords: peptide mass fingerprinting, MALDI-TOF

Project description:Chronic infections by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) appear to be the most significant causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Aberrant promoter methylation is known to be deeply involved in cancer, including HCC. In this study, we analyzed aberrant promoter methylation on genome-wide scale in 6 HCCs including 3 HBV-related and 3 HCV-related HCCs, 6 matched noncancerous liver tissues and 3 normal liver tissues by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation-on-chip analysis. Candidate genes with promoter methylation were detected more frequently in HCV-related HCC. Candidate genes methylated preferentially to HBV-related or HCV-related HCCs were detected and selected, and methylation levels of the selected genes were validated using 125 liver tissue samples, including 61 HCCs (28 HBV-related HCCs and 33 HCV-related HCCs) and matched 59 matched noncancerous livers, and 5 normal livers, by quantitative methylation analysis using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Among analyzed genes, preferential methylation in HBV-related HCC was validated in 1 gene only. However, 15 genes were found methylated preferentially in HCV-related HCC, which was independent from age. Hierarchical clustering of HCC using these 15 genes stratified HCV-related HCC as a cluster of frequently methylated samples. The 15 genes included genes inhibitory to cancer-related signaling such as RAS/RAF/ERK and Wnt/b-catenin pathways. It was indicated that genes methylated preferentially in HCV-related HCC exist, and it was suggested that DNA methylation might play an important role in HCV-related HCC by silencing cancer-related pathway inhibitors. we analyzed aberrant promoter methylation in 6 HCC clinical samples (including 3 HBV-related HCCs and 3 HCV-related HCCs) and their matched noncancerous tissues on genome-wide scale by the method. Candidate regions of promoter methylation preferentially to HBV-related HCC and HCV-related HCC were selected, and the methylation levels of these genes were measured quantitatively using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Expression levels of these 6 pairs of HCC and 4 more pairs of HCCs and surrounding noncancerous tissues were analyzed by expression array and are reported in this Series. <br><br>This experiment was reloaded in November 2010 after additional curation. this dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Pediatric astrocytomas, a leading cause of death associated with cancer, are the most common primary central nervous system tumors found in children. Most studies of these tumors focus on adults, not children. We examined the global protein and microRNAs expression pattern by 2D SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and RT2 miRNA PCR Array System. MicroRNAs analysis revealed for the first time novel microRNAs involved in astrocytomas biology. Interestingly, miR-138 and miR-145 down-regulation appear to be associated with protein over-expression of vimentin and Bax, respectively. In conclusion, our results show that novel proteins and microRNAs altered on pediatric astrocytoma could serve as biomarkers to distinguish between astrocytoma grades. Astrocytoma samples were colected from patients and total RNA isolation (30 mg of tissue) was performed using the TRIzolM-BM-. protocol (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-2s instructions. Samples were analyzed using SA Biosciences RT2 miRNA PCRArray System to determied the miRNA expression between control samples and tumors RT2 miRNA PCR Array. Eigth tumor samples and two control tissue (including two control tissue replicates) were used as indicated in the sumary. A total of 3ug of RNA from each tumr samples and control tissue were placed in the PCR Array

Project description:The tumor suppressor, helicase-like transcription factor (HLTF), is expressed in tumor cells but not in the tumor microenvironment (TME) in early stage colorectal cancer (CRC). With disease progression, epigenetic silencing of HLTF in primary CRC tumors coincides with negligible HLTF expression in the TME. Cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) models were developed to test the hypothesis that HLTF-deletion in cancer cells with resultant metabolic reprogramming—a hallmark of metastasis—is a prototypical example of cancer cells modifying their metabolic requirements in response to HLTF-deletion in the TME. The two metabolic pathways that derive energy from glucose—glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)—are variously utilized by cancer cells depending upon the TME. HIF-1α, a master regulator of glycolysis, was eliminated from a role in reprogramming metabolism to satisfy CDX energetic requirements by RNAseq and spatial transcriptomics. Variability in the gut microbiome, with a putative role in altered metabolism, was also eliminated. In contrast, HLTF-deleted cancer cells recovered from DNA damage at a transcriptomic level induction of DNA repair and OXPHOS genes linked to an amoeboid-associated phenotype at the tumor border (confocal microscopy). HLTF-deleted cancer and endothelial cells of the intravascular niche in the TME share a site-specific protein S-glutathionylation signature (2D DIGE, MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry) for three glycolytic enzymes (PGK1 Cys379/380, PGAM1 Cys55, ENOA1 Cys119) that diverted glycolysis in support of continued glutathione biosynthesis. The collective absence of HLTF/Hltf from tumor and TME maintained redox homeostasis throughout the CDX and promoted metastasis.

Project description:A prediction of peritoneal recurrence is of significance using metastasis-related biomarker. This work describes a combined analysis of proteome and transcriptome data for biomarker discovery in highly metastatic cell line. We used nano-flow liquid chromatography (LC) linear ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LIT-TOF MS) and cDNA microarray to identify specific protein differentially expressed between a highly metastatic stomach cancer cell line MKN-45-P and its parental cell line MKN-45. In total, 240 proteins were found to be expressed between the two cell lines. Of these, 75 proteins (31%) and 49 proteins (20%) were only identified from MKN-45-P and MKN-45 respectively. An mRNA expression of 1533 genes was up-regulated in MKN-45-P compared with MKN-45. No close correlation was found between proteomic and transcriptomic analysis. Interestingly, 4 of 240 proteins (1.6%) were involved in the up-regulated mRNA expression. Comparison analysis of gene expression between highly metastatic gastric cancer cell line MKN-45-P and its parental cell line MKN-45.

Project description:Mass spectrometry (MS) based diagnostic detection of 2019 novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID19) has been postulated to be a useful alternative to classical PCR based diagnostics. These MS based approaches have the potential to be both rapid, sensitive and can be done onsite without requiring a dedicated laboratory or depending on constrained supply chains (i.e., reagents and consumables). Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) time of flight (TOF) MS, has a long and established history of microorganism detection. Previously, we have shown that automated machine learning (ML) enhanced MALDI TOF MS diagnostics of nasal swabs can be both sensitive and specific for COVID19 detection. The underlying molecules responsible for this detection are generally unknown nor required for this automated ML platform to detect COVID19. However, the identification of these molecules is important for both understanding the diagnostic test itself and potentially the biology of the underlying infection. Here, we used nanoscale liquid chromatography tandem MS to identify endogenous peptides found in COVID19 positive anterior nares swab saline transport media to characterize mass over charge (m/z) values observed by the MALDI TOF MS method. We identified 14,270 endogenous peptides across 1,245 proteins groups that primarily comprise poly immunoglobulin receptor, actin, statherin, glyceraldehyde3phosphate dehydrogenase, basic salivary prolinerich protein 1 and histones. We also show that SARSCoV2 viral peptides were not readily detected and are highly unlikely to be responsible for the accuracy of MALDI based SARSCoV2 diagnostics.

Project description:2’-O-methylation (Nm) represents one of the most common RNA modifications. Nm affects RNA structure and function with crucial roles in various RNA-mediated processes ranging from RNA silencing, translation, self versus non-self recognition to viral defense mechanisms. Here, we identify two novel Nm methyltransferases (Nm-MTases) in Drosophila melanogaster (CG7009 and CG5220) as functional orthologs of yeast TRM7 and human FTSJ1. Genetic knockout studies together with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and RiboMethSeq mapping revealed that CG7009 is responsible for methylating the wobble position in tRNAPhe, tRNATrp and tRNALeu, while subsequently, CG5220 methylates position C32 in the same tRNAs and targets also additional tRNAs. CG7009 or CG5220 mutant animals were viable and fertile but exhibited various phenotypes such as life span reduction, small RNA pathways dysfunction and increased sensitivity to RNA virus infections. Our results provide the first detailed characterization of two TRM7 family members in Drosophila and uncover a molecular link between enzymes catalysing Nm at specific tRNAs and small RNA-induced gene silencing pathways.

Project description:Purpose:The Vimentin gene plays a pivotal role in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and is known to be over-expressed in the prognostically poor basal-like breast cancer subtype. Recent studies have reported Vimentin DNA methylation in association with poor clinical outcomes in other solid tumors, but not in breast cancer. We therefore quantified Vimentin DNA methylation in breast tumors and matched normal pairs in association with gene expression and survival in a cohort of 83 breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods:Vimentin methylation was quantified in 14 breast cell lines, 83 breast tumors, and 57 matched normal pairs using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Gene expression data via qRT-PCR in cell lines, and oligo microarray data from breast tissues was correlated with percent methylation in the Vimentin promoter. A threshold of 20 percent average methylation was set for bivariate and multivariate tests of association between methylation and tumor subtype, tumor histopathology, and survival. Results:Vimentin was differentially methylated in luminal breast cancer cell lines, and in luminal A, luminal B and HER2+ breast tumor subtypes, but was rare in basal-like cell lines and tumors. Increased methylation was strongly correlated with decreased mRNA expression in cell lines, and had a moderate inverse correlation in breast tumors. Importantly, Vimentin methylation predicted poor overall survival independent of race, subtype, stage, nodal status or estrogen receptor positivity. Conclusion:Vimentin methylation predicts overall survival in breast cancer patients and holds promise as a prognostic biomarker for guiding treatment and prophylaxis. reference x sample
