Characterization of human pineal gland proteome

ABSTRACT: Pineal gland is a neuroendocrine gland located at the center of the brain. It protects the body from the effect of toxic compounds and regulates sleep-wake cycle, body temperature and sexual maturity through the secretion of melatonin. Abnormal functioning of pineal glands is known to be associated with Smith-Magenis syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, sleep disorders and Alzheimer’s disease. Characterization of pineal gland proteome will facilitate molecular level investigations on pathophysiological conditions underlying these diseases. We aimed to characterize the proteome of human pineal glands using a high resolution mass spectrometry- based approach. A total of 5,752 proteins were identified from human pineal glands in this study. Of these, 1,108 proteins contained signal peptide domain. We identified 2 novel proteins in this study, which are predicted by computational methods. In addition, a large number of proteins were uniquely identified in this study. A comprehensive list of proteins identified from human pineal glands will aid in unraveling the role of pineal glands in sleep disorders, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases.

The pineal gland is a neuroendocrine gland located at the center of the brain. It is known to regulate various physiological functions in the body through secretion of the neurohormone melatonin. Comprehensive characterization of the human pineal gland proteome has not been undertaken to date. We employed a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based approach to characterize the proteome of the human pineal gland. A total of 5874 proteins were identified from the human pineal gland in this study. Of ...[more]

Project description:The present experiments were performed to determine the roles of estrogen receptors M-NM-1 and M-NM-2 (ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2) in normal and neoplastic development in the mouse mammary gland. In wild-type mice, in vivo administration of estradiol (E) + progesterone (P) stimulated mammary ductal growth and alveolar differentiation. Mammary glands from mice in which the ERM-NM-2 gene has been deleted (M-NM-2ERKO mice) demonstrated normal ductal growth and differentiation in response to E + P. By contrast, mammary glands from mice in which the ERM-NM-1 gene has been deleted (M-NM-1ERKO mice) demonstrated only rudimentary ductal structures that did not differentiate in response to E + P. EGF demonstrates estrogen-like activity in the mammary glands of M-NM-1ERKO mice: treatment of M-NM-1ERKO mice with EGF + P (without E) supported normal mammary gland development, induced expression of progesterone receptor (PR), and increased levels of G- protein-coupled receptor (GPR30) protein. Mammary gland development in M-NM-2ERKO mice treated with EGF + P was comparable to that of wild-type mice receiving EGF + P; EGF had no statistically significant effects on the induction of PR or expression of GPR30 in mammary glands harvested from either wild-type mice or M-NM-2ERKO mice. In vitro exposure of mammary glands to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced preneoplastic mammary alveolar lesions (MAL) in glands from wild-type mice and M-NM-2ERKO mice, but failed to induce MAL in mammary glands from M-NM-1ERKO mice. Microarray analysis of DMBA-treated mammary glands identified 28 functional pathways whose expression was significantly different in M-NM-1ERKO mice versus both M-NM-2ERKO and wild-type mice; key functions that were differentially expressed in M-NM-1ERKO mice included cell division, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. The data demonstrate distinct roles for ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2 in normal and neoplastic development in the mouse mammary gland, and suggest that EGF can mimic the ERM-NM-1-mediated effects of E in this organ.

Project description:When misexpressed in late Drosophila prepupae, the transcription factor Fork head (Fkh) blocks death of the larval salivary glands that normally occurs in the early pupa. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes responding to Fkh that might mediate the effect of the protein on cell death and other biological processes. Fkh was expressed in the line P[hs-Fkh111] from a heat-inducible transgene that encodes wild-type Fkh protein. Expression of Fkh was induced by incubating prepupae for 30 min in a 37 Â°C water bath, starting at 9.5 hours after puparium formation. Salivary glands were dissected at 14 hours after puparium formation and RNA isolated for microarray analysis with Affymetrix GeneChips. Control samples were obtained from w1118 animals treated the same way. The microarray analysis identified 55 genes annotated as functioning in apoptosis whose expression was at least 1.5-fold changed by Fkh. These genes include the death genes hid and reaper, which play a central role in the control of salivary gland death. Other groups of significantly enriched genes include genes functioning in autophagy, steroid-signaling pathways, salivary gland secretion, and phospholipid metabolism. In addition, the microarray data identify genes as responsive to Fkh that are known to be controlled by the FOXA counterparts of Fkh in vertebrates, indicating that target genes and biological processes controlled by Fkh are evolutionarily conserved.

All samples were compared using dChip and normalized to the same baseline array (median intensity 134).
