Project description:The thermophilic Aquificales inhabit and play important biogeochemical roles in the geothermal environments globally. Although intensive studies on physiology, microbial ecology, biochemistry, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the Aquificales¬ species and Aquificales-containing environmental samples have been conducted, comprehensive understandings about their ecophysiology, especially in the natural niches have been limited. In the present study, an integrated suite of metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses, for the first time, were conducted on a filamentous microbial community from the Apron and Channel Facies (ACF) of CaCO3 (travertine) deposition at Narrow Gauge, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging and a high risk of cardiovascular complications. However, the underlying mechanisms of cardiac complications of this syndrome are not fully understood. This study modeled HGPS using cardiomyocytes (CM) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from a patient with HGPS and characterized the biophysical, morphological, and molecular changes found in these CM compared to CM derived from a healthy donor. Electrophysiological recordings revealed that the HGPS CM was functional and had normal electrophysiological properties. Electron tomography showed nuclear morphology alteration and 3D reconstruction of electron tomography images indicated structural abnormalities in HGPS CM mitochondria. High-resolution respirometry with isolated CM derived from three distinct cellular differentiations suggests that HGPS-CM had a tendency of lower oxygen consumption capacity. However, there was no difference in mitochondrial content as measured by Mitotracker. Telomere length was measured using qRT-PCR, and no difference was found in either the iPSCs or the CM from HGPS when compared to the control. Proteomic analysis was carried out in a high-resolution system using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The proteomics data show distinct group separations and protein expression differences between HGPS and control-CM, highlighting changes in ribosomal, TCA cycle, and amino acid biosynthesis, among other modifications. Our findings show that iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from a Progeria Syndrome patient have significant changes in mitochondrial morphology and protein expression, implying novel mechanisms underlying premature cardiac aging

Project description:Calciprotein particles (CPPs), assembled as a result of molecular interactions between fetuin-A and nascent calcium phosphate clusters, are indispensable scavengers of excessive Ca2+ and PO43– ions, thus representing an elegant mechanism which regulates mineral homeostasis. Generation of CPPs represents an evolutionary mechanism to prevent blood supersaturation with Ca2+ and PO43– ions (e.g., as a result of bone resorption) and to thwart extraskeletal calcification, a pathological condition which is frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease. It is believed that formation of CPPs accompanied evolution from the appearance of bony fish; the existence of CPPs in more ancient animals remains uncertain. Shortly after emergence, amorphous, spherical, and submicrometer-sized (30-100 nm) primary CPPs (CPP-P) evolve into crystalline, spindle- or needle-shaped, and micrometer-sized (100-300 nm) secondary CPPs (CPP-S). Upon executing their function of aggregating Ca2+ and PO43– ions, CPPs are removed from the circulation by endothelial cells (ECs), monocytes, and liver or spleen macrophages. Internalisation and digestion of CPPs by ECs induce a chain of detrimental events including an increase in cytosolic Ca2+, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress, nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated transcriptional response and cytokine release, ultimately contributing to the development of pro-inflammatory endothelial activation, chronic low-grade inflammation, and inflammaging. Pathological permeability of dysfunctional endothelium promotes lipid retention and leukocyte extravasation, together contributing to the development of vascular inflammation, proteolytic environment, degradation of basement membrane and internal elastic lamina, and contractile-to-synthetic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells. Such an ensemble of molecular events ultimately induces intimal hyperplasia, vascular remodeling, and atherosclerotic progression. Hence, CPPs act as a double-edged sword which rescues the human body from an acute life-threatening disease (i.e., extraskeletal calcification) at the cost of promoting long-lasting conditions (i.e., endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis). Among the several forms of calcium transfer (free Ca2+ ions, colloidal calciprotein monomers, and particulate CPPs), CPPs are the most efficient in delivering calcium stress to ECs because of their deposition and dissolution in lysosomes, followed by a lysosomal membrane permeabilisation and an excessive Ca2+ migration into the cytosol. The molecular pattern of CPP-induced calcium stress within the ECs is well defined and includes elevated expression of cell adhesion molecules (VCAM1, ICAM1, and E-selectin) and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition transcription factors (SNAI1, SNAI2, TWIST1, and ZEB1) in combination with an endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling. However, our knowledge on extracellular signatures of such endothelial response remains limited to an augmented release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1/CCL2, MIF, CXCL1, and MIP-3α/CCL20) and pro- or anti-thrombotic molecules (serpin E1/PAI-1 and uPAR). As EC-secreted bioactive factors (termed angiokines) control vascular tone, maintain hemostasis, and regulate instructive signaling governing local homeostasis within the most organs, decryption and interpretation of endothelial secretome in physiological and pathological conditions is of utmost importance. Discovery of a circulating biomarkers specific for endothelial dysfunction, which can be measured by a routine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, might inform on specific disease states and prompt to the respective pharmacological interventions. Here, we aimed at deciphering the secretome of ECs treated with either CPP-P or CPP-S, employing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the analysis of serum-free cell culture supernatant. For the objective comparison of heterogeneous arterial ECs, we utilised human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAEC) which comprise an innermost lining in atheroprone and atheroresistant blood vessels (coronary artery and internal thoracic artery, respectively).

Project description:The expression of heat shock proteins is considered a central adaptive mechanism to heat stress. This study investigated the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and other stress-protective proteins against heat stress in cowpea genotypes under field (IT-96D-610 and IT-16) and controlled (IT-96D-610) conditions. Plants in the control environment were under 25/20°C (day/night) in a warm chamber and 40/25 °C in a hot chamber. In the field, plants grew at Eensaamheid with 26 to 28°C and at Marapyane with 30 to 32°C monthly average maximum temperatures. Heat stress response analysis of proteins at 72 h in the controlled environment showed 270 differentially regulated proteins identified using label-free quantitative proteomics in IT-96D-610 plants. These plants expressed HSPs and chaperones (BAG family molecular chaperone 6 (BAG6), Multiprotein bridging factor1c (MBF1C) and cold shock domain protein 1 (CSDP1)) in the controlled environment. However, IT-96D-610 plants expressed a wider variety of small HSPs and more HSPs in the field. IT-96D-610 plants also responded to heat stress by exclusively expressing chaperones (DnaJ chaperones, universal stress protein and heat shock binding protein (HSBP)) and non-HSP proteins (Deg1, EGY3, ROS protective proteins, temperature-induced lipocalin and succinic dehydrogenase). Photosynthesis recovery and induction of proteins related to photosynthesis, were better in IT-96D-610 because of the concurrent induction of heat stress response proteins for chaperone functions, protein degradation for repair and ROS scavenging proteins and PSII operating efficiency (Fq’/Fm’) than IT-16. This study contributes to identification of thermotolerance mechanisms in cowpea that can be useful in knowledge-based crop improvement.

Project description:The mammalian gut is inhabited by a large and complex microbial community that lives in a mutualistic relationship with its host. Innate and adaptive mucosal defense mechanisms ensure a homeostatic relationship with this commensal microbiota. Secretory antibodies are generated from the active polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR)-mediated transport of IgA and IgM antibodies to the gut lumen and form the first line of adaptive immune defense of the intestinal mucosa. We probed mucosal homeostasis in pIgR knockout (KO) mice, which lack secretory antibodies. We found that in pIgR KO mice, colonic epithelial cells, the cell type most closely in contact with intestinal microbes, differentially expressed (>2-fold change) more than 200 genes compared with wild type mice, and upregulated the expression of anti-microbial peptides in a commensal-dependent manner. Detailed profiling of microbial communities based on 16S rRNA genes revealed differences in the commensal microbiota between pIgR KO and wild type mice. Furthermore, we found that pIgR KO mice showed increased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, and that this was driven by their conventional intestinal microbiota. In conclusion, secretory antibodies or the pIgR itself are required to maintain a stable commensal microbiota. In the absence of these humoral effector components, gut homeostasis is disturbed and the outcome of colitis significantly worsened. 4 groups: wild type mice treated with antibiotic (5 replicates), wild type mice left untreated (5 replicates), pIgR KO mice treated with antibiotic (6 replicates), and pIgR KO mice left untreated (6 replicates).

Project description:In recent years, the therapeutic (re)activation of innate anticancer immunity has gained prominence, with therapeutic blocking of the interaction of Signal Regulatory Protein (SIRP)-α with its ligand CD47 yielding complete responses in refractory and relapsed B cell lymphoma patients. SIRP-α has as crucial inhibitory role on phagocytes, with e.g., its aberrant activation enabling the escape of cancer cells from immune surveillance. SIRP-α belongs to a family of paired receptors comprised of not only immune-inhibitory, but also putative immune-stimulatory receptors. Here, we report that an as yet uninvestigated SIRP family member, SIRP-beta 2 (SIRP-ß2), is strongly expressed under normal physiological conditions in macrophages and granulocytes at protein level. Endogenous expression of SIRP-ß2 on granulocytes correlated with trogocytosis of cancer cells. Further, ectopic expression of SIRP-ß2 stimulated macrophage adhesion, differentiation and cancer cell phagocytosis as well as potentiated macrophage-mediated activation of T cell Receptor-specific T cell activation. SIRP-ß2 recruited the immune activating adaptor protein DAP12 to positively regulate innate immunity, with the charged lysine 202 of SIRP-ß2 being responsible for interaction with DAP12. Mutation of lysine 202 to leucine lead to a complete loss of the increased adhesion and phagocytosis. In conclusion, SIRP-ß2 is a novel positive regulator of innate anticancer immunity and a potential costimulatory target for innate immunotherapy.

Project description:Metabolic rewiring is a well-established feature of muscle cells and a hallmark of cancer. In isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 mutant tumors, increased production of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2-HG) is associated with myopathy. The connection between metabolic changes and proteomic remodeling in skeletal muscle remains poorly understood. We demonstrate that D2-HG impairs NAD+ redox homeostasis in myocytes, causing activation of autophagy via de-acetylation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II (LC3-II) by the nuclear deacetylase Sirt1. We integrated multi-omics data from mice treated with D2-HG and demonstrate that autophagy activation leads to skeletal muscle atrophy and sex-dependent metabolic and proteomic remodeling. We also characterized protein and metabolite interactions linking energy-substrate metabolism with chromatin organization and autophagy regulation. Collectively, our multi-omics approach exposes mechanisms by which the oncometabolite D2-HG induces metabolic and proteomic remodeling in skeletal muscle, and provides a conceptual framework for identifying potential therapeutic targets in cachexia.

Project description:Currently, it is well established that human endothelial cells (ECs) are characterised by a significant heterogeneity between distinct blood vessels, e.g., arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymphatic vessels. Further, even ECs belonging to the same lineage but grown under different flow patterns (e.g., laminar and oscillatory or turbulent flow) ostensibly have distinct molecular profiles defining their physiological behaviour. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAEC) represent two cell lines inhabiting atheroprone and atheroresistant blood vessels (coronary artery and internal thoracic artery, respectively). Resistance of the internal mammary artery to atherosclerosis has been largely attributed to the protective phenotype of HITAEC which reportedly produce higher amounts of vasodilators including nitric oxide (NO) through the respective signaling pathways. However, this hypothesis has not been adequately addressed hitherto as proteomic profiling of HCAEC and HITAEC in a head-to-head comparison setting has not been performed.
