A robust and universal metaproteomics workflow for research studies and routine diagnostics within 24 hours

ABSTRACT: A new workflow for metaproteomics is presented in this study and is shown to enable the analysis of a broad range of different samples in only 24 h. The standardized sample preparation includes the combined cell lysis and phenol extraction in a ball mill followed by FASP digestion. The bioinformatic workflow using the MetaProteomeAnalyzer software was expanded with new functionalities such as annotation of metaproteins via protein BLAST or an integrated compare tool. The new workflow was shown to produce at least two times the protein identifications than previous iterations. Through many individual improvements combined into a single standardized workflow, a drastic increase in the quantity and quality of generated results was achieved.

The investigation of microbial proteins by mass spectrometry (metaproteomics) is a key technology for simultaneously assessing the taxonomic composition and the functionality of microbial communities in medical, environmental, and biotechnological applications. We present an improved metaproteomics workflow using an updated sample preparation and a new version of the MetaProteomeAnalyzer software for data analysis. High resolution by multidimensional separation (GeLC, MudPIT) was sacrificed to a ...[more]

Project description:Considerable interest and controversy has arisen over the potential effects of seismic surveys carried out during exploration for oil and gas deposits. Regarding fish, there is a concern that intense sound sources, such as seismic airguns, may injure their auditory system. In this study, salmonid cDNA microarrays, reciprocal suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA libraries and quantitative reverse transcription – polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) were used to identify and study a responsive gene set in the inner ear of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) following seismic airgun exposure. Microarray analyses on pooled seismic exposed inner ear RNA versus pooled control inner ear RNA revealed 79 unique transcripts (passing background threshold) that were greater than 1.75-fold differentially-regulated by acoustic stress on at least 3 of the 4 slides in the study (including at least one dye-swap). QPCR analyses of 8 microarray-identified transcripts of interest revealed a significant up-regulation (P<0.05) of transcripts encoding nicotinamide riboside kinase 2 (1.89-fold) and hemoglobin subunit alpha-4 (3.78-fold), and a significant down-regulation (P<0.05) of a transcript encoding C14orf159 protein (1.35-fold). QPCR analyses also confirmed an overall up-regulation of transcripts encoding growth hormone I (7.78-fold), c-type lectin receptor A (2.20-fold) and retinol binding protein I (1.24-fold), however these differences were not considered to be statistically significant (P<0.05) due to the high biological variability in the seismic exposed group for these transcripts of interest. A total of 683 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) generated from SSH cDNA salmon ear libraries enriched for genes responsive to seismic airgun noise have been deposited in the GenBank dbEST. Targeted gene discovery in salmon ear allowed for the identification of novel transcripts, including some with sensory-relevant functional annotations, and represents a significant contribution to salmonid hearing research. Initial results demonstrate that genomics has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of the impact of seismic airguns on gene and molecular pathways involved in hearing, and provide valuable molecular biomarkers that can act as an early warning sensor to acoustic stress. Juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolt were obtained from North Water Products Ltd., Daniel’s Harbour, NL and held at ambient seawater temperature, in a flow-through system supplied with air at the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre, St. John’s, NL. Two weeks prior to seismic airgun exposures, fish were divided into two 1m3 cages, one each for control (non-exposed) and exposed groups, in a 15,000L aquarium at ambient seawater temperature (0.2°C). Each cage was placed the same distance from the water intake and airstones were placed next to each cage. Fish were fasted for two days prior to exposure. Sixteen control (non-exposed) fish from one cage were sampled prior to seismic activity. Immediately following sampling of control fish, seventeen fish in the remaining cage were placed 2m from a 10in3 Texas Instruments airgun. Fish were subjected to 50 exposures, 1 exposure every 10 seconds, at an average sound pressure level of 204 dB peak-to-peak relative to 1µPa; considered to be a worse case scenario within a few hundred meters of a survey vessel. Seventeen seismic exposed fish were sampled 16 h following exposure. The only aquarium available that was suitable for seismic airgun exposures was not designed to have a regulated photoperiod. For this reason the fish were held under a constant daylight regime. Fish were collected by dip-net and euthanized by severing the spinal cord. The inner ears from each salmon were removed, placed immediately in RNase-free 2 ml tubes, and then flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA isolated from the right inner ear of the 12 seismic exposed and 12 control individuals that gave the highest total RNA yields were used to generate 2 mRNA pools (a “seismic” pool and a “control” pool). Each sample contributed 4.0 µg column purified total RNA to each pool. Comparisons were made for the seismic exposed mRNA pool compared to the control (non-exposed) mRNA pool using the consortium for Genomic Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP) 16K (salmonid) cDNA array and the 3DNA Array 900 Detection Kit and instructions (Genisphere). Technical quadruplicate slides including 2 dye-swaps were run for the comparison.
