Project description:Protease activity has been associated with pathological processes that can lead to cancer development and progression. However, understanding the pathological unbalance in proteolysis is challenging since changes can occur simultaneously at protease, their inhibitor and substrate levels. Here, we present a pipeline that combines peptidomics, proteomics and peptidase predictions for studying proteolytic events in saliva associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) prognosis and lymph node metastasis. Our results suggest that cleavage products differentially abundant in the saliva of patients with (N+) or without (N0) nodal metastasis exhibit potential of prognostic value in oral cancer whereas reduced levels of peptidase inhibitors disturb the proteolytic balance in saliva of OSCC patients with worse prognosis.

Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide including the Asian subcontinent. Oral carcinoma exhibits inherent heterogeneity in terms of the sites involved, etiology and pathology. They occur at multiple sites such as tongue, buccal mucosa, maxilla. Effective approaches towards improving survival rates in OSCC patients are primarily focused on early detection of the disease. The early clinical indication of the disease follows the development of potentially malignant lesions (leukoplakia/erythro-leukoplakia) with varied rates of transformation. Currently histopathological evaluation of oral biopsy is generally practiced to evaluate potential malignancy. However, human saliva has been considered to be a valuable medium for discovering biomarker molecules for malignancy. Exfoliated cancer cells may release protein or RNA molecules into the saliva or free molecules may be secreted or leaked from cancer cells representing gene expression changes associated with tumor development. Salivary proteins thus provide a strong option for development of non-invasive, point-of-care assays for screening/early detection of oral cancers. Dysplastic leukoplakia (LP) of the oral cavity is a potentially malignant condition for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), early detection of which is an unmet clinical need. In an effort to develop non-invasive biomarker based method for early detection of the disease, we have used quantitative mass spectrometry to identify differently abundant salivary proteins in OSCC (buccal mucosa) patients and individuals with potential to develop cancer (oral dysplastic leukoplakia) in comparison to healthy controls (with risk habits such as tobacco chewing or smoking).

Project description:Oral cavity cancer is one of the most common cancer worldwide and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for up to 90 percent of oral cancers. In Taiwan, OSCC is the fifth most common malignancy of male and causes more than 250 deaths per year. The poor outcome of OSCC patients is principally ascribed to the fact that this disease is often advanced at the time of diagnosis, suggesting that early detection and prevention of OSCC are urgently needed to reduce the cancer burden. Analysis of cancer-related body fluids is one of promising approaches to identify cancer-related molecules and biomarker candidates. To identify salivary biomarkers of OSCC, salivary samples of OSCC patients, individuals with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), and healthy volunteers were collected. With isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, 1838 proteins were identified. The levels of 102 proteins are found to be elevated in the saliva samples of OSCC patients compared to that of OPMD and healthy groups. To improve the feasibility of biomarkers, we used a two-phase verification to measure these candidates. Among them, salivary levels of AHSG, CFH, FGA, and SERPINA1 were determined to be significantly higher in the OSCC patients than in the healthy or in the OPMD group with both of MRM-MS and ELISA. Furthermore, the levels of these proteins were highly related to tumor size, lymph-node metastasis, and cancer stages. The results of this study not only provides a powerful strategy for verification of biomarker candidates, but also suggested that AHSG, CFH, FGA, and SERPINA1 could act as salivary biomarkers for OSCC detection.

Project description:Systemic and local (oral mucosal) immune responses in acutely infected HIV individuals before the initiation of HAART have not been well characterized. Protein microarrays were used to analyze saliva and plasma from HIV infected and HIV uninfected subjects to identify new biomarkers for HIV disease progression and pathogenesis. A 507 protein microarray was employed to provide a broad view of cytokines and chemokines in saliva and plasma in acutely HIV infected subjects as compared to uninfected subjects. A custom array derived from the initial results was refined to highlight those molecules with significant change relative to control subjects indicating the potential for biological impact.

Project description:Exosomes are molecular entities derived from membrane vesicles of endocytic origin secreted by most cell types. These vesicles are implicated in cell-to-cell communication, deliver proteins and mRNA molecules between cells. Recent studies have shown that exosomes are found in body fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid, malignant ascites, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, synovial fluids and breast milk. Exosomes secreted through human saliva contain mRNA may potentially be useful for diagnostic purposes. Although the exact protective mechanism of saliva RNA is a topic of debate, the consensus is that the enrichment of mRNAs in these nano-vesicles in one of the features of the biomarker discoveries. Our aim was to determine if exosomes are present in human saliva and to nano-characterize their transcriptomic content. Exosomes were purified by differential ultracentrifugation, identified by immunoelectron microscopy, flow cytometry and western blot using a CD-63 antibody. Atomic force microscopy studies revealed ultra structural analysis of both size and density of exosomes. Microarray analysis revealed the presence of 590 mRNA core transcripts are relatively stable inside the exosomes, which can be of saliva mRNA biomarkers. Exosomal mRNA stability was determined by detergent lyses with treatment of RNase. Under in vitro conditions fluorescent dye labeled saliva exosomes were able to communicate between human oral keratinocytes studied by using fluorescence microscopy. The RNA from saliva exosomes can transfer their genetic information to human oral keratinocytes and alters gene expression in the new location. Together, these results suggest that saliva is involved in mRNA trafficking via exosomes, and provides a mechanism for cargoing passenger mRNAs. Our findings are consistent with proposal that exosomes can shuttle RNAs between cells and mRNA is protected inside these vesicles may be a possible resource for biomarker discovery. Experiment Overall Design: Human saliva exosomes were purified through differential centrifugation followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We were able to obtain normal human subjects saliva which are pooled and subjected to ultracentrifugation. The protocol was approved by UCLA Institutional review board. 1 ml of saliva exosomes were used to extract RNA followed by two rounds of amplification by Actorus Amp kit. The amplified RNA was biotin labled and hybridized with Affymetrix protocol.

Project description:Tissue microRNAs (miRNAs) can detect cancers and predict prognosis. Several recent studies reported that tissue, plasma, and saliva miRNAs share similar expression profiles. In this study, we investigated the diagnostic value of salivary miRNAs (including whole saliva and saliva supernatant) for detection of esophageal cancer. By Agilent microarray, six deregulated miRNAs from whole saliva samples from seven patients with esophageal cancer and three healthy controls were selected. The six selected miRNAs were subjected to validation of their expression levels by RT-qPCR using both whole saliva and saliva supernatant samples from an independent set of 39 patients with esophageal cancer and 19 healthy controls.

Project description:Whole saliva is contains major, minor and gingival crevicular fluid/secretions and it plays vital role in maintaining the oral health, three pair of major salivary glands consist of parotid, submandibular and sub-lingual glands. Saliva is a good biological fluid to explore health and disease status of human. Further, the saliva secrets from major salivary glands and have various biomolecules such as, proteins, enzymes and ions originated from serum and saliva is easily accessible through a safe and noninvasive method. In contrast, the concentrations of biomolecules in saliva are generally one tenth to one thousand of the levels in blood. Ovulation is an exclusive process through the mature (pre-ovulatory) ovarian follicles reacts to the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) and burst to discharge fertilizable oocytes. The LH surge initiates a flow of proteolytic actions with the aim of control ovulation. Presently, many salivary proteins are have been showed as a biomarker such as Sjogren’s syndrome, Lung cancer, oral and Systemic diseases, HIV-seropositive patients, dental pellicle development, and hyperglycemia. However, there is no prominent marker protein was reported for monitoring ovulation process in human saliva. It is important prediction of fertile period in women for various applications like assisted reproduction and invitro fertilization.

Project description:Human saliva has been commonly used as protein source in in vitro microbiological and biological assays to mimic the protein pellicle formation, termed acquired salivary pellicle, that precedes microbial and cell adhesion on surfaces exposed to the oral environment. However, saliva requires previous processing to remove food debris, microorganisms, and other molecules prior its use in microbiological and biological in vitro assays. For this purpose, 0.22 μm filtration, 0.45 μm filtration, and pasteurization methods have been commonly used, but the effect of these processing methods on the proteomic profile of saliva has not been tested experimentally. Stimulated human saliva was collected from 8 healthy volunteers and submitted to the following processes: non-processing (control), 0.22 μm filtration, 0.45 μm filtration, and pasteurization. The proteomic profile of non-processed saliva was compared with 0.22 μm filtered-, 0.45 μm filtered-, and pasteurized-saliva by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effect of processed saliva in microbial adhesion was tested using bacterial and fungus species, and in biological cell behavior using HaCaT immortalized human keratinocytes. Two hundred seventy-eight proteins were identified in non-processed saliva, 54 proteins (≈19%) were exclusive. Saliva processing reduced identified proteins to 222 (≈80%) for the 0.22 μm filtered saliva, 219 (≈79%) for the 0.45 μm filtered saliva, and 201 (≈72%) for the pasteurized saliva, compared to non-processed saliva. Although there were slight differences in the protein composition, the proteomic profile showed similar molecular functions and biological processes. The different saliva processing methods did not alter microbial adhesion (ANOVA, p>0.05). Interestingly, pasteurized saliva reduced keratinocytes cell viability. Saliva processing methods tested reduced the proteomic profile diversity of saliva, but maintained similar molecular functions and biological processes mediated by remaining proteins, not interfering on microbial adhesion and cell viability, except for pasteurization, which reduced cell viability.
