Project description:Fetal cartilage fully regenerates following injury while in adult mammals cartilage injury leads to osteoarthritis (OA). OA is characterized by cartilage breakdown and joint inflammation and associated with significant pain and socioeconomic costs. As no clinically satisfactory treatment is available to date, disease-modifying therapies aimed to achieve cartilage regeneration are urgently required. The inherent regeneration potential of fetal individuals may hold answers to this unmet need. Therefore, to characterize the differences in fetal and adult response to cartilage injury, we carried out histology and comprehensive proteome analyses on fetal (day 80/150-day gestation) and adult cartilage samples one (fetal samples) and three (adult and fetal samples) days after surgical induction of a full-thickness cartilage lesion. In addition, proteins secreted by inflamed fetal MSCs in vitro were compared with the in vivo response to injury to evaluate their therapeutic potential. Histology of synovial samples revealed the presence of neutrophils one day post injury (p.i.) and an influx of macrophages into the subsynovial tissue on day 3 p.i. in fetal samples. In contrast, adult synovial samples showed invasion of neutrophils on day 3 p.i. Activation and migration of Iba1+- macrophages of the synovial lining was observed both in fetal and adult animals. Comparative mass spectrometry revealed 57 proteins significantly up-regulated (> 2FC, FDR<0.05), and 67 proteins significantly down-regulated (<-2 FC) upon injury in adults. Neutrophil-related proteins and acute phase proteins were the two major upregulated protein groups in adult cartilage following injury compared to fetal sheep. In contrast, several immunomodulating proteins and growth factors were significantly higher expressed in the fetus than the adult. Comparison of the in vitro MSCs with the in vivo fetal proteome revealed shared upregulation of 17 proteins, which were considered to be of potential therapeutic interest. The results of this study support our molecular understanding of successful fetal cartilage healing and new therapeutic strategies to induce regeneration in adult articular cartilage by modulating the inflammatory environment. The shared protein upregulation in fetal cartilage in vivo and in fetal MSCS during in vitro inflammation supports the possible therapeutic potential of these factors in specific and fetal MSCs in general.

Project description:Morphology together with the capability to respond to surrounding stimuli are the key elements governing the spatial interaction of a living cell with the environment. In this respect, biomechanical stimulation can trigger significant physiological cascades that can potentially modulate or interact with toxicity. Deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin) is one of the most prevalent mycotoxins produced by Fusarium spp. and it was used to explore the delicate interaction between biomechanical stimulation and cytotoxic processes in A431 cells. In fact, in addition of being a well-known food contaminant, DON is becoming a relevant toxin also for other organ systems. The combination between biomechanical stimulation and the mycotoxin revealed how DON can impair crucial functions like cellular morphology and lysosome trafficking at concentrations far below those known to be cytotoxic in routine toxicity studies. Moreover, sub-toxic concentrations of DON (0.1-1 μM) impaired the capability of A431 cells to respond to a biomechanical stimulation that normally sustains trophic effects in this cell line. Ultimately, the effects of DON (0.1-10 μM) were partially modulated by the application of uniaxial stretching (0.5Hz, 24h, 15% deformation) suggesting a deep cross-talk between the cytotoxic potential of the mycotoxin and the biomechanical stimulation.

Project description:The possibility to combine proteomics workflows to classical experimental approaches is continuously opening new insights in all branches of biological sciences. Deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin, DON) is a secondary metabolite produced by Fusarium spp. fungi and it is one of the most recurrent mycotoxins worldwide. DON is known to inhibit protein synthesis and as such interact with the cell models in multiple and complex ways whose comprehension enormously benefit of the system toxicology approach. For the purpose of this study epidermoid squamous cell carcinoma cells A431 were incubated with DON for 24h and toxin dependent variation of the proteome profile was obtained with a LC-MS/MS approach using a reversed phase nanoLC-System (Ultimate 3000RSLC Thermo Fisher Scientific, Austria) hyphenated to a High Resolution Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Classic). DON significantly down-regulated ribosomal proteins, as well as mitochondrial respiratory chain elements and transport proteins (TOMM22; TOMM40; TOMM70A). In line with the loss of mitochondrial function, altered metabolic capability was observed, with particular impairment of lipid synthesis cascade. Effect of the mycotoxin on cell membrane was verified by confocal microscopy (morphology) and by membrane fluidity measures (biophysical properties).

Project description:Morphogenesis of the mammary gland relies on the precise developmental control of morphological elements including TEBs, ducts and lobules. In the peripubertal mammary gland, rising levels of ovarian hormones control this development through a tightly controlled genetic program where specific sets of genes are up-regulated. We used microarrays to detail the program of gene expression underlying different classes of up-regulated genes during the peripubertal process after administration of endocrine disruptors during the fetal and neonatal development. Rat mammary glands were selected at two peripubertal periods (days 35 and 50), after administration of genistein and vinclozolin during the fetal and neonatal development, for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.. We sought to obtain homogeneous populations of mammary gland for each treatment, and at each developmental stage, in order to increase the temporal and specific effect resolution of time course and endocrine disruption.

Project description:The possibility to combine untargeted proteomic workflows to more classical experimental approaches is continuously opening new insights in all branches of biological sciences. Deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin, DON) is a secondary metabolite produced by Fusarium spp. fungi and it is one of the most recurrent mycotoxins worldwide. DON is known to inhibit protein synthesis and as such to interact with the different cell types in multiple and complex ways. For the purpose of this study epidermoid squamous cell carcinoma cells A431 and primary human HEKn cells were incubated with DON for 24h and toxin dependent alteration of the proteome profile was observed in the nuclear and cytoplasmic fraction. In A431 cells, DON significantly down-regulated ribosomal proteins, as well as mitochondrial respiratory chain elements (OXPHOS regulation) and transport proteins (TOMM22; TOMM40; TOMM70A). In line with the impairment of the mitochondrial function, altered metabolic capability was observed, with particular target of the lipid synthesis machinery. Effect of the mycotoxin on cell membrane was verified by confocal microscopy (morphology) and by membrane fluidity measures (biophysical properties). The toxicological relevance of these findings was independently confirmed with the primary human keratinocytes HEKn.

Project description:Inflammation is a physiological process involved in many diseases. Monitoring proteins involved in regulatory effects may help to improve our understanding of inflammation. We have analyzed proteome alterations induced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) upon inflammatory activation in great detail using high resolution mass spectrometry. Moreover, the activated cells were treated with dexamethasone to investigate their response to this antiphlogistic drug. From a total of 6886 identified proteins, 469 proteins were significantly regulated upon inflammatory activation. Most of these proteins were counter-regulated by dexamethasone, with some exceptions concerning members of the interferon-induced protein family. To confirm some of these results, we performed targeted MRM analyses of selected peptides. The inflammation-induced up-regulation of proteins such as IL-1beta, IL-6, CXCL2 and GROα was confirmed, however with strong quantitative inter-individual differences. Furthermore, the inability of dexamethasone to down-regulate inflammation-induced proteins such as PTX3 and TSG6 was clearly demonstrated. In conclusion, the relation of cell function as well as drug-induced modulation thereof was successfully mapped to proteomes, suggesting targeted analysis as a novel and powerful drug evaluation method. While most consequences of dexamethasone were found compatible with the expected way of action, some unexpected but significant observations may relate with adverse effects.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common type of leukemia in adults, is still incurable despite the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This reflects the incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease. In order to get more detailed insights into CLL development, we performed a comprehensive proteome analysis of primary human CLL cells and B cells from young and age-matched healthy individuals. For comparison, we also analyzed the chronic B cell leukemia cell line JVM-13 showing rather limited similarity to the primary cells. A principal component analysis comprising 6945 proteins separated these four groups, placing B cells of aged-matched controls between those of young donors and CLL patients. Remarkably, B cells from aged controls displayed significant regulation of proteins related to metabolic processes and stress response in mitochondria such as DLAT, FIS1 and NDUFAB1 as well as DNA repair including RAD9A, MGMT and XPA. Interestingly, these alterations apparently correlating with aging of B cells may also be essential for tumorigenesis and were observed similarly in CLL cells. In CLL cells, in addition, some remarkable unique features like the loss of tumor suppressor molecules PNN and JARID2, and high expression of CCDC88A, PIGR and ID3 otherwise associated with epithelial mesenchymal transition and stemness were determined. Furthermore, while typical hallmarks of cancer such as cell proliferation were hardly apparent for CLL cells, alterations of metabolic enzymes were another outstanding feature in comparison to normal B cells, indicating increased beta-oxidation of fatty acids and increased consumption of glutamine. Targeted metabolomics assays corroborated these results. The present findings identify previously unrecognized features of CLL cells and suggest that aging may be accompanied by proteome alterations functionally relevant for predisposing B cells to transform to CLL cells.
