Project description:Gonadotropin surge acts on the preovulatory follicle of the ovary to induce luteinization of follicular cells, oocyte meiotic maturation, cumulus expansion and follicular rupture leading to ovulation. These processes are brought about by spatial and temporal changes in transcriptional regulation of genes in the follicular cells in response to the gonadotropin surge. Analysis of gene expression changes in the periovulatory follicular cells will help in delineating the signal transduction pathways involved in the above mentioned processes. In monoovulatory species like bovines, the time interval of 24-28 hours between gonadotropin surge and ovulation provides distinct advantage for studying the temporal changes in the gene expression pattern. Thus, in the present study, we attempt to identify the temporal changes in the global gene expression profile in the periovulatory follicle of buffalo cows in response to gonadotropin surge and the results suggest the involvement of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 and cytokine signaling pathways in the periovulatory events. Experiment Overall Design: To study the periovulatory gene expression changes in buffalo cows, an induced-ovulation model system involving sequential treatment with PGF2alpha and GnRH was standardized. The follicular wave containing at least one large follicle of ~7mm size was determined by ultrasonography on day 7 of the estrous cycle before administering exogenous PGF2alpha to induce luteolysis and follicular growth. Exogenous GnRH (100µg i.m) was administered 36h post PGF2alpha to induce LH surge. The time course of increase in LH levels post GnRH injection was monitored. Since peak LH levels are attained 2 h post GnRH administration, the time intervals of 3 h post GnRH (corresponding to1 h post LH surge) and 24 h post GnRH (corresponding to 22 h post LH surge) were chosen to identify the gene expression profile associated with immediate early and delayed changes in periovulatory follicle respectively. Thus ovaries were collected before, 1 h and 22 h post LH surge and follicle wall and granulosa cells were isolated from the ovaries and snap frozen for the purpose of RNA isolation.

Project description:BackgroundThe classification of ancient animal corpses at the species level remains a challenging task for forensic scientists and anthropologists. Severe damage and mixed, tiny pieces originating from several skeletons may render morphological classification virtually impossible. Standard approaches are based on sequencing mitochondrial and nuclear targets.Methodology/principal findingsWe present a method that can accurately classify mammalian species using dental pulp and mass spectrometry peptide profiling. Our work was organized into three successive steps. First, after extracting proteins from the dental pulp collected from 37 modern individuals representing 13 mammalian species, trypsin-digested peptides were used for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis. The resulting peptide profiles accurately classified every individual at the species level in agreement with parallel cytochrome b gene sequencing gold standard. Second, using a 279-modern spectrum database, we blindly classified 33 of 37 teeth collected in 37 modern individuals (89.1%). Third, we classified 10 of 18 teeth (56%) collected in 15 ancient individuals representing five mammal species including human, from five burial sites dating back 8,500 years. Further comparison with an upgraded database comprising ancient specimen profiles yielded 100% classification in ancient teeth. Peptide sequencing yield 4 and 16 different non-keratin proteins including collagen (alpha-1 type I and alpha-2 type I) in human ancient and modern dental pulp, respectively.Conclusions/significanceMass spectrometry peptide profiling of the dental pulp is a new approach that can be added to the arsenal of species classification tools for forensics and anthropology as a complementary method to DNA sequencing. The dental pulp is a new source for collagen and other proteins for the species classification of modern and ancient mammal individuals.

Project description:The digestion of protein into peptide fragments reduces the size and complexity of protein molecules. Peptide fragments can be analyzed with higher sensitivity (often > 102 fold) and resolution using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers, leading to improved pattern recognition by common machine learning algorithms. In turn, enhanced sensitivity and specificity for bacterial sorting and/or disease diagnosis may be obtained. To test this hypothesis, four exemplar case studies have been pursued in which samples are sorted into dichotomous groups by machine learning (ML) software based on MALDI-TOF spectra. Samples were analyzed in 'intact' mode in which the proteins present in the sample were not digested with protease prior to MALDI-TOF analysis and separately after the standard overnight tryptic digestion of the same samples. For each case, sensitivity (sens), specificity (spc), and the Youdin index (J) were used to assess the ML model performance. The proteolytic digestion of samples prior to MALDI-TOF analysis substantially enhanced the sensitivity and specificity of dichotomous sorting. Two exceptions were when substantial differences in chemical composition between the samples were present and, in such cases, both 'intact' and 'digested' protocols performed similarly. The results suggest proteolytic digestion prior to analysis can improve sorting in MALDI/ML-based workflows and may enable improved biomarker discovery. However, when samples are easily distinguishable protein digestion is not necessary to obtain useful diagnostic results.

Project description:We present an automated droplet microfluidic system (DMF) to generate monitored nanoliter aqueous droplets in oil and their deposition on a commercial stainless steel plate for MALDI-TOF analysis of peptides or protein digests. We demonstrate that DMF-MALDI combination focuses the analyte on the MALDI plate, increasing considerably the homogeneity of the dried material. This results in a 30times enhanced MALDI-TOF MS signal for a model peptide, allowing a significant improvement of the detection sensitivity limit (down to few tens of attomoles). Moreover, positive detection can be achieved from sub-nanomolar peptides solutions and better overall protein sequence coverages are obtained from few tens attomoles of protein digest. These results make DMF-MALDI a promising approach for the treatment of peptides samples as well as a key component for an integrated approach in the proteomic field.

Project description:The domestic buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), also known as water buffalo or Asian buffalo to prevent confusion with the American bison (Bison bison), wrongly named buffalo in North America, comprises two subspecies: the river buffalo (B. bubalis bubalis) and the swamp buffalo (B. bubalis kerebau). The swamp buffalo has a consistent phenotype and is considered as one type, even if many breeds are recognized within it; conversely, the river buffalo subspecies has many breeds. We found limited information available regarding the worldwide distribution of buffaloes. The best estimate is that 208,098,759 buffalo head are distributed in 77 countries in five continents. In this review, we presented the basic aspects of the water buffalo and unraveled the buffalo path followed from the origin of the species to its current global distribution. We reviewed several data sources to provide a better estimate of the world buffalo count and distribution.

Project description:Although procyanidins constitute a unique class of polymeric plant secondary metabolites with a variety of biological properties including potent antioxidant activity, structure determination has been challenging, and structures of many complex procyanidins remain uncertain. To expedite the characterization of procyanidins, negative ion matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization high-energy collision-induced dissociation tandem time-of-flight (MALDI-ToF/ToF) mass spectra of 20 isolated procyanidins containing catechin and epicatechin subunits with degrees of polymerization up to five were obtained and evaluated. Structurally significant fragmentation pathways of singly charged, deprotonated molecules were identified representing quinone methide, heterocyclic ring fission, and retro-Diels-Alder fragmentation. The interpretation of the tandem mass spectra for sequencing A-type, B-type, mixed-type, linear, and branched procyanidins is explained using specific examples of each.

Project description:We describe a comparative sequencing strategy that is based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analyses of complete base-specific cleavage reactions of a target sequence. The target is converted to a DNA/RNA mosaic structure after PCR amplification using in vitro transcription. Cleavage with defined specificity is achieved by ribonucleases. The set of cleavage products is subjected to mass spectrometry without prior fractionation. The presented resequencing assay is particularly useful for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery. The combination of mass spectra from four complementary cleavage reactions detects approximately 98% of all possible homozygous and heterozygous SNPs in target sequences with a length of up to 500 bases. In general, both the identity and location of the sequence variation are determined. This was exemplified by the discovery of SNPs in the human gene coding for the cholesteryl ester transfer protein using a panel of 96 genomic DNAs.
