Comparative proteomic analysis of pituitary tissue from Huoyan goose between pre-laying period and laying period

ABSTRACT: In this study, we performed a comprehensive evaluation of proteomic profile in the pituitary gland of Huoyan geese during laying period compared to pre-laying period and using iTRAQ based approach. 684 proteins which including 418 up-regulated and 266 down-regulated were identified. Subsequently, GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses of those proteins were conducted.

In this study, we performed a comprehensive evaluation of the proteomic profile of the pituitary gland of the Huoyan goose during the laying period compared to the pre-laying period using an iTRAQ-based approach. Protein samples were prepared from pituitary gland tissues of nine pre-laying period and nine laying period geese. Then the protein samples from three randomly selected geese within each period were pooled in equal amounts to generate one biological sample pool. We identified 684 differ ...[more]

Project description:Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a small, facultatively aerobic, gram-positive bacterium that causes erysipelas in swine and a wide spectrum of diseases in other animals, as well as the skin disease erysipeloid in humans. Swine erysipelas caused by E. rhusiopathiae is the most prevalent and economically important of these diseases. In China, swine erysipelas has emerged at an alarming rate, developing from scattered occurrences on a small number of farms to systemic outbreaks since 2012 in many provinces, thereby inflicting large financial losses. Some virulence factors of E. rhusiopathiae have been identified. The capsule is considered essential for resistance to phagocytosis and bacterial virulence. Neuraminidase plays a crucial role in initiating adhesion to endothelial cells. Two surface-adhesion proteins (RspA and RspB) participate in the initiation of biofilm formation by binding to abiotic and biotic surfaces. SpaA is involved in the adhesion of E. rhusiopathiae to porcine endothelial cells. Nevertheless, very little is known about the pathogenesis of E. rhusiopathiae. This knowledge gap has become one of the most important obstacles to controlling infection. Thus, the identification of novel virulence factors is necessary to improve understanding of the pathogenesis of E. rhusiopathiae.Surface proteins of gram-positive bacteria play a critical role in virulence by modifying the environment surrounding the cell. Furthermore, for many bacteria, surface proteins are candidate antigens for subunit vaccines. The examination of bacterial surface-protein fractions, including cell wall-associated proteins (CWPs), is an effective method for identifying novel virulence factors. One proteomic approach involves isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC)-quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This method has been widely used for the comparative quantitative analysis of bacterial proteomes. In this study, iTRAQ combined with LC-MS/MS was applied to compare differentially abundant CWPs of high- and low-virulence strains of E. rhusiopathiae. Proteins with higher abundance in the high-virulence strain were found to aid in predicting potential virulence factors to improve vaccines or disease-control strategies.

Project description:In the field, abiotic stresses are rarely applied individually. Crops are often subjected to a combination of stresses. To date, no study has been performed on the proteomic investigation of the response of common wheat to a combination of drought and cold stresses. In this study, wheat seedlings exposed to drought-cold stress for 24 h showed inhibited growth, increased lipid peroxidation, relative electrolyte leakage, and soluble sugar contents. To determine the wheat protein response to drought-cold stress, iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods were employed to determine the proteomic profiles of the roots and leaves of wheat seedlings exposed to drought-cold stress conditions. We identified 250 and 258 proteins with significantly altered abundance in the roots and leaves, respectively. These proteins were classified into several main groups, as follows: protein metabolism, stress/defense, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, transcription-related processes, energy production, cell-wall and cytoskeleton metabolism, membrane and transportation, signal transduction, other metabolic processes, and unknown biological processes. Nine proteins were simultaneously presented in both roots and leaves exposed to drought-cold stress, and the majority of proteins identified differed from one another and displayed differently altered abundance. These findings uncovered organ-specific differences in adaptation to drought-cold stress. Exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application conferred the plant with protection against drought-cold stress and significantly increased catalase and peroxidase enzyme activities, as well as the transcription of glutathione S-transferase and other 11 sample genes in the roots or leaves, respectively. These results suggested that ABA is a potentially vital factor that contributes to the drought-cold signaling pathway and a promising target for growth recovery. Furthermore, VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing)-treated plants generated for three candidate protein genes TaGRP2, CDCP and WCOR410c were subjected to drought-cold limitation, they showed more serious droop and wilt, increased rate of relative electrolyte leakage, and reduced relative water content (RWC) compared to viral control plants. These results may indicate that TaGRP2, CDCP and WCOR410c play important roles in conferring drought-cold tolerance in wheat. These findings can provide useful insights into the molecular mechanisms of drought-cold responses in higher plants.
