Project description:Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice mimics major hallmarks of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, yet in this model it spontaneously resolves over time. We studied molecular mechanisms of fibrosis resolution and lung repair, focusing on transcriptional and proteomic signatures and the effect of aging. Young (3 months) and old (21 months) mice were treated with Bleomycin or with control saline solution and analyzed transcript and protein expression over 8 weeks (Day 0, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56).

Project description:Aging clocks, built from comprehensive molecular data, have emerged as promising tools in medicine, forensics, and ecological research. However, few studies have compared the suitability of different molecular data types to predict age in the same cohort and whether combining them would improve predictions. Here, we explored this at the level of proteins and small RNAs in 103 human blood plasma samples. First, we used a two-step mass spectrometry approach measuring 612 proteins to select and quantify 21 proteins that changed in abundance with age. Notably, proteins increasing with age were enriched for components of the complement system. Next, we used small RNA sequencing to select and quantify a set of 315 small RNAs that changed in abundance with age. Most of these were microRNAs (miRNAs), downregulated with age, and predicted to target genes related to growth, cancer, and senescence. Finally, we used the collected data to build age-predictive models. Among the different types of molecules, proteins yielded the most accurate model (R² = 0.59 ± 0.02), followed by miRNAs as the best-performing class of small RNAs (R² = 0.54 ± 0.02). Interestingly, the use of protein and miRNA data together improved predictions (R2 = 0.70 ± 0.01). Future work using larger sample sizes and a validation dataset will be necessary to confirm these results. Nevertheless, our study suggests that combining proteomic and miRNA data yields superior age predictions, possibly by capturing a broader range of age-related physiological changes. It will be interesting to determine if combining different molecular data types works as a general strategy to improve future aging clocks.

Project description:BACKGROUND: While many authorities theorize that cancer vaccines are too weak to be widely effective, there are quite a few reports with clearly demonstrated, significant clinical benefit in some patients. The literature of cellular cancer immunotherapies shows that 53% (78/147) of phase II studies showed evidence of clinical activity. While not all reached their primary endpoints, 75% (12/16) of phase III studies had positive data. SV-BR-1-GM, derived from a patient with grade 2 (moderately differentiated) breast cancer, is a GM-CSF-secreting breast cancer cell line with properties of antigen-presenting cells we established. METHODS: We report detailed molecular and clinical findings from an open-label phase I, single-arm pilot study in breast (3 subjects) and ovarian (1 subject) cancer with irradiated SV-BR-1-GM cells (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT00095862). Inoculations of SV-BR-1-GM were preceded by low-dose cyclophosphamide and followed by injections of interferon-alpha2b into the SV-BR-1-GM inoculation sites. We assessed both cellular (delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions) and humoral (anti-SV-BR-1 antibody) immune responses and conducted molecular analyses on patient blood cells and SV-BR-1-GM cells. RESULTS: Treatment was generally safe and well tolerated. Immune responses were elicited universally. Overall survival was more than 33 months for three of the four patients. As previously reported, one patient (Subject A002, with grade 2 breast cancer) had regression of metastases in lung, breast and soft tissue within 2 months of treatment initiation. At later relapse, with multiple metastases including several in the brain, rapid tumor response was again seen, including complete regression of CNS metastases. Consistent with a role of Class II HLA in contributing to SV-BR-1-GM’s mechanism of action, Subject A002 allele-matched SV-BR-1-GM at the HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DRB3 loci. Only the HLA-DRB1 alleles were clearly expressed in SV-BR-1-GM cells. However, interferon-gamma (possibly also present in situ) upregulated both HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DRB3 to substantial levels. Gene expression data supports the hypothesis that SV-BR-1-GM cells have retained some of the original breast cancer’s grade 2 character. CONCLUSIONS: We describe a whole-cell immunotherapy regimen with remarkable rapidity of response and a speedy rescue response, including complete resolution of CNS metastases after relapse. Class II HLA matches might be critical for SV-BR-1-GM’s therapeutic potential.

Project description:Studies have shown that the majority of Parkinson's disease patients have at least one putative damaging variant in a lysosomal storage disorder gene (60%) and in about 10% of sporadic PD subjects, the disease is associated with mutations in GBA1, a gene coding for glucocerebrosidase, a lysosomal hydrolase. However, the precise cellular and lysosome-specific alterations upon loss of glucocerebrosidase are not established. The aim of this study is to characterize the proteome-wide changes at the cellular and lysosomal level in H4 cells upon loss of the GBA gene. Moreover, we tested if reinstating glucocerebrosidase activity by treating cells with our in-house GCase-BS (glucocerebrosidase-brain shuttle) can revert these changes, both at the cellular and lysosomal level.

Project description:The pathophysiology underlying the autoimmune disease type 1 diabetes (T1D) is poorly understood. Obtaining an accurate proteomic profile of the T helper cell population is essential for understanding the pathogenesis of T1D. Here, we performed in-depth proteomic profiling of peripheral CD4+ T cells in a pediatric cohort in order to identify cellular signatures associated with the onset of T1D. Using only 250,000 CD4+ T cells per patient, isolated from biobanked PBMC samples, we identified nearly 6,000 proteins using deep-proteome profiling with LC-MS/MS data-independent acquisition. Our analysis revealed an inflammatory signature in patients with T1D; this signature is characterized by circulating mediators of neutrophils, platelets, and the complement system. This signature likely reflects the inflammatory extracellular milieu, suggesting that activation of the innate immune system plays an important role in disease onset. Our results emphasize the potential value of using high-resolution LC-MS/MS to investigate limited quantities of biobanked samples in order to identify disease-relevant proteomic patterns.

Project description:Metformin is a type 2 diabetes medication which extends life span across species when given from young adulthood onwards; late life effects of metformin are not well understood. Here we used C. elegans to investigate the outcome of metformin treatment initiated late in life. We found that, contrary to young age administration, old age metformin treatment interferes with energy homeostasis and shortens life span by aggravating age-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Nematode mutants defective in mitochondrial respiration, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial quality control were highly susceptible to metformin killing already at young age while insulin receptor deficient nematodes carrying healthier mitochondria were protected from late life metformin toxicity. In the mammalian cell culture model of replicative senescence metformin killing correlated with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and strong reduction of systemic ATP levels. Reduced ATP levels and depletion of lipid stores consistent with energy deficit were observed also in nematodes following late life metformin treatment. At the molecular level young animals responded to metformin by inducing adaptive stress responses and longevity-assurance pathways while old nematodes demonstrated a protein expression signature consistent with lipid turnover and energy deficit. Ectopic ATP supplementation was sufficient to alleviate metformin toxicity in human skin fibroblasts highlighting the key contribution of energy deficit to the detrimental effect of metformin. Also, co-exposure with rapamycin, known to stabilize cellular ATP levels under conditions of mitochondrial failure, significantly reduced metformin-inflicted lethality in both cells and old animals. In summary we uncovered a novel negative synergism between metformin treatment and mitochondrial dysfunction which gains importance late in life and may limit therapeutic benefits of metformin for older patients; these side effects can partially be overcome by co-treatment with agents stabilizing cellular ATP levels such as rapamycin.

Project description:Bacterial fitness depends on adaptability to changing environments. In rich growth medium, which is replete with amino acids, Escherichia coli primarily expresses protein synthesis machineries, which comprise ~40% of cellular proteins and are required for rapid growth. Upon transition to minimal medium, which lacks amino acids, biosynthetic enzymes are synthesized, eventually reaching ~15% of cellular proteins when growth fully resumes. We applied quantitative proteomics to analyse the timing of enzyme expression during such transitions, and established a simple positive relation between the onset time of enzyme synthesis and the fractional enzyme ‘reserve’ maintained by E. coli while growing in rich media. We devised and validated a coarse-grained kinetic model that quantitatively captures the enzyme recovery kinetics in different pathways, solely on the basis of proteomes immediately preceding the transition and well after its completion. Our model enables us to infer regulatory strategies underlying the ‘as-needed’ gene expression programme adopted by E. coli.

Project description:As transgenic INSC94Y-pigs develop a stable diabetic phenotype we were able to study the influence of elevated blood glucose levels on primary immune cells in vivo. We investigated the neutrophil proteome and compared data of transgenic animals to a control group. A total of 2371 proteins describing the whole neutrophil proteome were identified, including 396 proteins (17% of proteome) newly associated to expression in porcine neutrophils. Our studies provide novel information on the porcine granulocyte proteome and contribute to a better understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in altered immune cell function in diabetes. The data presented here is highly relevant for veterinary medicine and has translational quality for diabetes in human.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in direct contact with the brain and serves as a valuable specimen to examine diseases of the central nervous system through analyzing its components. These include the analysis of metabolites, cells as well as proteins. For identifying new suitable diagnostic protein biomarkers bottom-up data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mass spectrometry-based approaches are most popular. Drawbacks of this method are stochastic and irreproducible precursor ion selection. Recently, data-independent acquisition (DIA) emerged as an alternative method. It overcomes several limitations of DDA, since it combines the benefits of DDA and targeted methods like selected reaction monitoring (SRM). We established a DIA method for in-depth proteome analysis of CSF. For this, four spectral libraries were generated with samples from native CSF (n=5) CSF fractionation (15 in total) and substantia nigra fractionation (54 in total) applying to CSF DIA of three replicates. The DDA and DIA methods for CSF were conducted with the same nanoLC parameters using a 180 minute gradient. Compared to a conventional DDA method, our DIA approach both increased the number of identified protein groups with 1574 compared to DDA with 648 over 50 % with a comprehensive spectral library (generated with DDA measurements from five native CSF and 54 substantia nigra fractions) and decreased the coefficient of variation to 6 %, compared to 11 % with a DDA method. We also could show that a sample specific spectral library generated only from native CSF increased the identification reproducibility from three DIA replicates to 90 % (77 % with a DDA method). Moreover, by utilizing a substantia nigra specific spectral library for CSF DIA over 60 brain-originated proteins could be identified compared to only eleven with DDA. In conclusion, the here presented optimized DIA method substantially outperforms DDA and could develop into a powerful tool for biomarker discovery in CSF.
