Cyclotides are plant-derived mini proteins. They are genetically encoded as precursor proteins that become post-translationally modified to yield circular cystine-knotted molecules. Because of this structural topology cyclotides resist enzymatic degradation in biological fluids, and hence they are considered as promising lead molecules for pharmaceutical applications. Despite ongoing efforts to discover novel cyclotides and analyze their biodiversity, it is not clear how many individual peptides ...[more]

Project description:Intense immunosuppression followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) is a potential treatment for patients suffering from aggressive multiple sclerosis (MS). However it remains unresolved whether autologous CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells of MS patients show gene expression differences prior to aHSCT that indicate a preset proinflammatory state, which would then also predispose to or predetermine recurrence of the autoimmune disease. To approach this key point we compared the gene expression signature of CD34+ and CD34- cells collected from MS patients and healthy donors (HD). Whole genome gene expression of CD34+ and CD34- cells was analysed with the Human 4x44K Design Array (Agilent-Technologies). As main observation we found only minor differences in the gene expression signature of MS patients compared to HD. Only a single gene, troponin-type-1 (TNNT1), reached statistical significance after correction for multiple comparisons (logFC=3.1, p<0.01). There was a decreased expression of several protease genes, myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil-elastase (ELA2), cathepsin-G (CTSG) and serine-protease 21 (PRSS21) in HPCs of MS patients, albeit not reaching statistical significance. In summary we did not detect substantial alterations in the gene expression profile of CD34+ HPCs in MS. Our data support the use of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of an autoimmune disease. Samples of CD34+ cells were obtained from 4 female MS patients and 4 age matched healthy donors (3 female) mobilized by G-CSF (2x5M-NM-<g/kg/day) and 4 MS patients (2 female) mobilized by G-CSF (5M-NM-<g/kg/day) plus Cyclophosphamide (Cy, 4g/m2). White blood cells, containing the CD34+ cell fraction, were collected by leucocytapheresis from peripheral blood, frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. All samples were thawed and processed at one center and CD34+ HPCs purified by magnetic bead separation using the autoMACS system (Miltenyi). Purity and viability of CD34+ cells was analyzed by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS). Total cellular RNA were extracted with TRIzol reagent and analyzed with the Human 4x44K Design Array (Agilent-Technologies).

Project description:Proprioception relies on two main classes of proprioceptive sensory neurons (pSNs). These neurons innervate two distinct peripheral receptors in muscle, muscle spindles (MSs) or Golgi tendon organs (GTOs), and synapse onto different sets of spinal targets, but the molecular basis of their distinct pSN subtype identity remains unknown. We used microarray analysis to compare gene expression profiles between MS- and GTO- innervating proprioceptors. We generated transgenic mice in which MS and GTO pSNs are labelled with different fluorescent proteins (see de Nooij et al., 2015 for details). We used Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) to isolate the MS and GTO pSN subsets from dissociated DRG from p7-10 transgenic mice. Neurons from multiple FACS experiments were pooled into three samples each for the MS and GTO pSN subset.

Project description:Background: Central nervous system (CNS) metastases represent a major problem in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer due to the disappointing efficacy of HER2-targeted therapies in the brain microenvironment. The antibody-drug conjugate ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) has shown efficacy in trastuzumab-resistant systemic breast cancer. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T-DM1 could overcome trastuzumab resistance in preclinical models of brain metastases. Methods: We treated mice bearing BT474 or MDA-MB-361 tumors in the CNS (N=9-11 per group), or cancer cells grown in organotypic brain slice cultures with trastuzumab or T-DM1 at equivalent or equipotent doses. Using intravital imaging, molecular techniques and histological analysis we determined tumor growth, mouse survival, cancer cell apoptosis and proliferation, tumor drug distribution, and HER2 signaling. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: T-DM1 significantly delayed the growth of HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastases compared to trastuzumab. These findings were consistent between HER2-driven and PI3K-driven tumors. The activity of T-DM1 resulted in a striking survival benefit (median survival for BT474 tumors: 28d for trastuzumab vs 112d for T-DM1, HR=6.2, 95% CI=6.1 to 85.84; P<.001). No difference in drug distribution and HER2-signaling was revealed between the two groups. However, T-DM1 led to a significant increase in tumor cell apoptosis (One-way ANOVA for ApopTag, p<.001), which was associated with mitotic catastrophe. Conclusions: T-DM1 can overcome resistance to trastuzumab therapy in HER2-driven and PI3K-driven breast cancer brain lesions due to the cytotoxicity of the DM1 component. Clinical investigation of T-DM1 for patients with CNS metastases from HER2-positive breast cancer is warranted.

Project description:Phages are viruses that specifically infect and kill bacteria. Bacterial fermentation and biotechnology industries see them as enemies, however, they are also investigated for the treatment or prevention of infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria. Whether foes or allies, their importance is undeniable. Despite decades of research some aspects of phage biology are still poorly understood. In this study, we used label-free quantitative proteomics to reveal the proteotypes of Lactococcus lactis MG1363 during infection by the virulent phage p2, a model for studying the biology of phages infecting Gram-positive bacteria. Our approach resulted in the high-confidence detection and quantification of 59% of the theoretical bacterial proteome, including 226 bacterial proteins detected only during phage infection and 6 proteins unique to uninfected bacteria. We also identified many bacterial proteins of differing abundance during the infection. Using this high-throughput proteomic datasets, we selected specific bacterial genes for inactivation using CRISPR-Cas9 to investigate their involvement in phage replication. One knockout mutant lacking gene llmg_0219 showed resistance to phage p2 due to a deficiency in phage adsorption. Furthermore, we detected and quantified 78% of the theoretical phage proteome and identified many proteins of phage p2 that had not been previously detected. Among others, we uncovered a conserved small phage protein (ORFN1) coded by an unannotated gene. We also applied a targeted approach to achieve greater sensitivity and identify undetected phage proteins that were expected to be present. This allowed us to follow the fate of ORF46, a small phage protein of low abundance. In summary, this work offers a unique view of the virulent phages’ takeover of bacterial cells and provides novel information on phage-host interactions.

Project description:IL-2 mutant (F42K) is a variant of IL-2 that binds preferentially to the lower affinity IL-2Rβγ and has minimal binding to CD25, on Tregs, effector NK and T-cell subsets. Our recent study has uncovered that in contrast to WT IL-2, F42K did not efficiently induce the expansion of highly suppressive ICOS+ Tregs in PBMC from healthy controls and melanoma patients whereas it did promote the expansion of NK cells. We used microarray to study the differences of gene profiles induced by wild-type (WT) IL-2, F42K and IL-15 when treated on freshly isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy control. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from buffy coat and were stimulated with 0.4nM WT IL-2, F42K or IL-15 for 24 hr. Total RNA was extracted from each WT IL-2, F42K and IL-15 treated PBMCs and Sense RNA was reverse-transcribed via RT reaction into DNA and labeled with biotin using Affymetrix labeling kits and hybridized on human Affymetrix microarray chip.

Project description:An in-depth glycoproteomic analysis of Haloferax volcanii has been performed, comparing the wildtype H53 with knockout mutants of aglB and agl15. While AglB-dependent glycosylation has been described to occur under standard culture conditions, the Agl15-dependent glycosylation pathway has previously been described to be only active under low-salt conditions. In this dataset, the largest archaeal glycoproteome could be identified with more than 40 N-glycoproteins and more than 100 N-glycopptides. It reveals not only that both glycosylation pathways can be active under the same conditions but also that the same glycosites can be modified by different glycans from both glycosylation pathways.

Project description:Immunoglobulins G (IgG) and their Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) play important roles in our immune system. The conserved N-glycan in the Fc region of IgG1 impacts interaction of IgG with FcγRs and the resulting effector functions, which has led to design of antibody therapeutics with greatly improved antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) activities. Studies have suggested that also N-glycosylation of the FcγRIII affects receptor inteactions with IgG, but detailed studies of the interaction of IgG1 and FcγRIIIa with distinct N-glycans have been hindered by the natural heterogeneity in N-glycosylation. In this study, we employed comprehensive genetic engineering of the N-glycosylation capacities in mammalian cell lines to express IgG1 and FcγRIIIa with different N-glycan structures to more generally explore the role of N-glycosylation in IgG1:FcRIIIa binding interactions. We included FcRIIIa variants of both the 158F and 158V allotypes and investigated the key N-glycan features that affected binding affinity. Our study confirms that afucosylated IgG1 has the highest binding affinity to oligomannose FcγRIIIa, a glycan structure commonly found on FcγRIIIa expressed by NK cells but not monocytes or recombinantly expressed FcγRIIIa.

Project description:The structural characterization of pathogenic tau filaments that accumulate in tauopathies, including Alzheimer disease, is key for understanding their pathogenic function and identify the structural determinants of distinct tau filaments involved in distinct tauopathies. Fibrillar tau surfaces play a crucial role in tau fibrils interaction with various protein partners and binding to neurons, a key step for their prion-like propagation propensity. In order to identify the amino acid residues stretches that are exposed and those that are not exposed to the solvent within tau fibrils, we used structural proteomic approaches: proteolysis and molecular covalent surface painting using NHS-Biotin followed by MS-based analysis of the proteolytic products. We compared the solvent accessible amino acid residues on the surface of htau proteins upon assembly of 1N3R and 1N4R human htau monomers into fibrils in vitro. We mapped the amino acid segments exposed or unexposed on the surface of htau fibrils by determining the accessibility GluC enzyme and NHS-biotin followed by proteolysis. The proteolytic peptides were analyzed by nanoLC-MSMS and processed using Mascot for their identification and PeakView for intensity extraction of labeled and unlabeled proteolytic peptides.

Project description:Background: Platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ibα is the major ligand-binding subunit of the GPIb-IX-V complex that binds von Willebrand Factor (VWF). GPIbα is heavily glycosylated, and its glycans have been proposed to play key roles in platelet clearance, VWF binding, and as target antigens in immune thrombocytopenia syndromes. Despite its importance in platelet biology, the glycosylation profile of GPIbα is not well characterized. Objectives: The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze GPIbα amino acid sites of glycosylation (glycosites) and glycan structures. Methods: GPIbα ectodomain that was recombinantly expressed or that was purified from human platelets was analyzed by Western blot, mass spectrometry (MS) glycomics, and MS glycoproteomics to define glycosites and the structures of the attached glycans. Results: We identified a diverse repertoire of N- and O-glycans, including sialoglycans, Tn antigen, T antigen, and ABH blood group antigens. In the analysis of the recombinant protein, we identified 62 unique O-glycosites. In the analysis of the endogenous protein purified from platelets, we identified at least 48 unique O-glycosites and 1 N-glycosite. The GPIbα mucin domain is densely O-glycosylated. Glycosites are also located within the macroglycopeptide domain and mechanosensory domain (MSD). Conclusions: This comprehensive analysis of GPIbα glycosylation lays the foundation for further studies to determine the functional and structural roles of GPIbα glycans.
