Taphonomy and Negative Results: An Integrated Approach to Ceramic-bound Protein Residue Analysis

ABSTRACT: Despite the growing body of evidence demonstrating that proteins can survive for thousands to even millions of years in selected contexts, there are relatively few examples of the successful recovery and identification of archaeological protein residues from ceramic artifacts. Claims of positive results are sometimes contentious and frequently challenged. One source of confusion in the debate is a general lack of consideration for the taphonomic histories of ceramic-bound proteins. To gain insight into this issue, we conducted an integrated, mass-spectrometry-based study examining ceramic-bound protein that was experimentally aged over the course of 12 months. By documenting the degradation of proteins after 1, 6 and 12 months of aging, we were able to provide insight into our lack of meaningful results obtained from a selection of archaeological ceramics.

Ancient proteins extracted from ceramic residues

Project description:Ancient proteins were extracted from ceramic vessels from the West Mound of the key early farming site of Çatalhöyük, dating to the early 6th millennium BC. This analysis revealed that barley, wheat, pulses, as well as goat, sheep and bovinae dairy and meat products were contained in ceramic vessels. Moreover, this demonstrates that dietary proteins can be identified from archaeological artefacts from up to 6,000 BC and that this approach can unlock detailed evidence of past culinary practices, with more taxonomic and tissue-specific clarity than has been possible with previous biomolecular techniques.

Adaptive mechanisms in the Mdr2-knockout mouse HCC model

Project description:We studied the molecular mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) initiation and promotion using the Mdr2-knockout (Mdr2-KO) mice at pre-cancerous stages of liver disease. These mice lack the liver-specific P-glycoprotein responsible for phosphatidylcholine transport across the canalicular membrane. Portal inflammation ensues at an early age followed by the development of HCC between the ages of 12 and 15 months. Liver tissue samples of Mdr2-KO and control Mdr2-heterozygotes mice aged 3 and 12 months, were subjected to histological, biochemical and gene expression profiling analysis using Affymetrix Mouse Genome Array. Keywords: HCC, murine model, precancerous stages, chronic liver desease

The challenge of identifying tuberculosis proteins in archaeological tissues

Project description:Following the report of Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins derived from archaeological bone by Boros-Major et al. (2011), we attempted to recover M. tuberculosis proteins in mummified lung tissues from which aDNA success had already been reported. Using a filter-aided sample preparation protocol modified for ancient samples we applied shotgun proteomics to seven samples of mummified lung, chest and pleura tissues. However, we only identified four peptides with unique matches to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, none of which were unique to M. tuberculosis, although we did identify a range of human proteins and non-mycobacterial bacterial proteins. In light of these limited results, we question the validity of the peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) approach presented by Boros-Major et al. (2011), especially due to its similarity to that of human collagen, the dominant protein in the tissue under investigation. We explore the challenges of using proteomic approaches to detect M. tuberculosis, and propose that, given the contentious outcomes that have plagued ancient protein research in the past, the susceptibility of ancient material to modern contamination, and the degradation inherent in archaeological materials, caution is needed in the acquisition, analysis and reporting of proteomic data from such material.

Sex differences in cardiac aging in mice and development of a female murine model of hypertensive disease in the elderly: Study of the left atrial tissue

Project description:C57Bl6/J female mice were ovariectomized or not at the age of 12 months and then euthanized 12 months later at the age of 24 months. Half of the females received for 28 days an angiotensin II (AngII; 1.5 mg/kg/day) continuous infusion starting at the age of 23 months. The mice were provided with a running wheel during the 12 months after gonadectomy with the exception of the last month before euthanasia.

Population genetics studies From Ancient Anatolians to Greek Orthodoxy: Genetic Lineages of North Lebanon

Project description:The focus of this submission is to genetically identify the population fingerprint of the contemporary population and sub-populations of Northern Lebanon. To this end, the HumanOmniExpress 12 array has been used to comprehensively genotype 344 selected samples from different communities. The samples were collected with careful scrutiny to their heritage, documenting at least two generations of ancestry for each sample.

Transcriptome analysis in calorie-restricted rats implicates epigenetic and post-translational mechanisms in neuroprotection and aging

Project description:Using RNA-seq, 39 cerebral cortex RNA samples were sequenced. The study design was as follows: Ad libitum fed rats at 6 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Calorie restricted rats at 6 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Rats fed alpha lipoic acid as a supplement to ad libitum at 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Diet switching groups, where diet was changes at 12 months; 28 month ad libitum switched to calorie restriction (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month calorie restriction switched to ad libitum (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month ad libitum plus lipoic acid switched to calorie restriction (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month calorie restriction switched to ad libitum plus lipoic acid (n=3, 6 individuals pooled).
