Project description:Cuttings from Razegui cultivar were cultivated in sand for 2 months according to the method we have described previously (Azri et al. 2020). Then grapevine plantlets were further grown in pots containing sand/peat mixture (2/1, v/v), in a controlled greenhouse (16 h light/8 h dark at PAR 300 μmol m-2 s-1 photoperiod, 24 °C day/20 °C night temperature and 65-75% relative humidity). They were watered daily with tap water and supplemented once a week with 100 mL of Gibeaut’s nutrient solution (Gibeaut et al. 1997). Drought stress was applied according to our previously described procedure (Azri et al. 2020): plants with 10-15 leaves were either irrigated daily with water (control) or non-irrigated at all (water deficit). After 4 time points (day 0, 4, 8 and 16) of water deficit, the 4th fully-developed leaf was harvested and used for physiological analyses. Three independent biological experiments were performed consisting each in 2 treatments (control and water deficit) and 3 plants per time point and treatment. Proteomic analysis was performed on the 5th fully developed leaves at the time point 16 days of drought treatment. Irrigated and non-irrigated leaves were harvested immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80 °C until analysis. Three biological replicates were carried out for each treatment.

Project description:Pharmaceuticals are pseudo persistent aquatic pollutants with unknown effects at environmentally relevant concentrations. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were exposed to Acetaminophen: 54.77 ± 34.67; Atenolol: 11.08 ± 7.98 and Carbamazepine: 7.85 ± 0.13 µg•L-1 for 5 days. After Acetaminophen treatment, 19 proteins were differently expressed, of which 11 were significant with respect to the control group (eight up-regulated and three down-regulated). After Atenolol treatment, 7 differently expressed proteins were obtained in comparison with the control, of which 6 could be identified (four up-regulated and 2 down-regulated). Carbamazepine exposure resulted in 15 differently expressed proteins compared with the control, with 10 of them identified (seven up-regulated and three down-regulated). Out of these, 3 features were common between Acetaminophen and Carbamazepine and one between Carbamazepine and Atenolol. One feature was common across all treatments. Principal component analysis and heat map clustering showed a clear grouping of the variability due to the applied treatments. The obtained data suggest (1) that exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of the pharmaceuticals alters the hepatic protein expression profile of the Atlantic salmon; and (2) the existence of treatment specific processes that may be useful for biomarker development.

Project description:Obesity is characterized by excess energy storage which results in dysfunctional white adipose tissue (WAT) and in turn leads to metabolic diseases. Lifestyle changes especially calorie restriction (CR) reduces the risk for age and obesity-associated complications. The impact of CR on obesity has mainly been examined with human intervention studies, which indicated alterations in circulating adipokines. However, a detailed understanding of CR-induced adipocyte secretome changes remains elusive. Therefore, we investigated the effect of CR on the secretion profile of mature human adipocytes by using proteomics technology with bioinformatic analysis. We demonstrated CR-mediated adipocyte triglyceride reduction, which resulted in a positive effect on adipokine secretion indicating an improved inflammatory phenotype and alleviation of obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction including insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Furthermore, 6 novel adipocyte-secreted proteins were identified which were regulated by CR. Since resveratrol (RSV) mimics CR we compared results from this study with data from our previous RSV study on the adipocyte secretome. We observed that both treatment strategies lead to a less inflammatory phenotype and an altered adipokine profile indicating improvement of metabolic complications even though the CR and RSV adipocyte secretomes differed from each other.

Project description:Snake venom is a rich source of peptides and proteins with a wide range of actions. Many of the components of the venom are currently being tested for their usefulness in the treatment of many diseases ranging from neurological and cardiovascular to cancer. It is also important to constantly search for new proteins and peptides with properties not yet described. The venom of Vipera berus berus has hemolytic, proteolytic and cytotoxic properties, but its exact composition and the factors responsible for these properties are not known. Therefore, an attempt was made to identify proteins and peptides derived from this species venom by using high resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis and MALDI ToF/ToF mass spectrometry. A total of 11 protein classes have been identified mainly proteases but also L-amino acid oxidases, C-type lectin like proteins, cysteine-rich venom proteins and phospholipases A2 and 5 peptides of molecular weight less than 1500 Da. Most of the identified proteins are responsible for the highly hemotoxic properties of the venom. Presence of venom phospholipases A2 and L- amino acid oxidases cause moderate neuro-, myo- and cytotoxicity. All successfully identified peptides belong to the bradikinin-potentiating peptides family.

Project description:Collagen-type-II-induced arthritis (CIA) is an autoimmune disease, which involves a complex host systemic response including inflammatory and autoimmune reactions. CIA in C57BL/6 mice resembles human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in terms of its disease course, histological findings, and in its response to commonly used anti-arthritic drugs. In this study, the goal has been to identify proteins from serum that change in their abundance in CD38-KO versus WT mice which may reflect their distinct response to an antigen-challenge that induces the development of an autoimmune disease.CIA is milder in CD38-/- than in Wild-type (WT) mice. We analyzed the sera from CD38-/- versus WT mice either with arthritis (CIA+), with no arthritis (CIA-), or with inflammation (Complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-treated mice). To decrease the dynamic concentration range of serum a combinatorial ligand library composed of hexapeptides was used (called ProteoMiner). ProteoMiner-equalized serum samples were then subjected to 2D-DiGE and MS-MALDI-TOF/TOF analyses to identify proteins that changed in their relative abundances. Multivariate analyses revealed that a multi-protein signature (n = 28) was able to discriminate CIA+ from CIA- mice, and WT from CD38-/- mice within each condition. Likewise, a distinct multi-protein signature (n = 16) was identified which differentiated CIA+CD38-/- mice from CIA+ WT mice, and lastly, a third multi-protein signature (n = 18) indicated that CD38-/- and WT mice could be segregated in response to CFA treatment This approach allows the identification of multiple protein species, or proteoforms of a given protein in a single analysis, and therefore, to focus the interest in fully characterize just the protein species that differ in abundance.

Project description:Somatic embryos are very much similar to zygotic counterparts in many morphological aspects and the somatic embryos are derived from somatic cells by undergoing various metabolic regulations. The somatic embryos have been used in artificial seed technology, genetic engineering and germplasm conservation. Though somatic embryo development is an important topic in growth and developmental studies, the molecular mechanism underlying the developmental process remains unclear. Therefore, understanding the molecular basis behind somatic embryo development can provide insight on the signaling pathways integrating this process. Proteomic analysis of somatic embryo development in cv. Grand Naine (AAA) was carried out to identify the differentially accumulated protein using two dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. In total, 25 protein spots were differentially accumulated in different developmental stages of somatic embryos. Among them, three proteins were uniquely present in 30 days globular stage somatic embryos and six proteins were uniquely present in 60 days matured somatic embryo. Functional annotation of identified spots showed that major proteins are involved in growth and developmental process (17 %) followed by defense response (12%) and signal transportation events (12 %). In early stage, cell division and growth related proteins were involved in the induction of somatic embryos whereas in late developmental stage, cell wall modification proteins along with stress related proteins like played a defense role against dehydration and osmotic stress and resulted in maturation of somatic embryo. Alongside some identified stage specific proteins are valuable indicators and have been used as genetic markers.

Project description:We previously showed that doxycycline and carprofen , a veterinary non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, have synergistic antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococus pseudintermedius (MRSP) carrying the tetracycline resistance determinant TetK. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of this synergy, we investigated the effects of the two drugs, individually and in combination, using a comprehensive approach including two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE).

Project description:We have previously shown that standardized extracts of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) modulate fear memory formation, which is associated with CREB-1 (mRNA and protein) upregulation in the dorsal hippocampal formation (dHF), in a dose-dependent manner. Here, we employed proteomic analysis to investigate EGb effects on different protein expression patterns in the dHF, which might be involved in the regulation of CREB activity and the synaptic plasticity required for long-term memory (LTM) formation. Adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n=6/group) and were submitted to conditioned lick suppression 30 min after vehicle (12% Tween 80) or EGb (0.25; 0.50 and 1.00 g.kg-1) administration (v.o). All rats underwent a retention test session 48 hours after conditioning. Twenty-four hours after the test session, the rats were euthanized via decapitation, and dHF samples were removed for proteome analysis using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by peptide mass fingerprinting. In agreement with our previous data, no differences in the suppression ratios were identified among the groups (P>0.05). However, our results showed, for the first time, that 32 proteins were affected in the dHF following treatment with 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 g.kg-1 doses of EGb, which upregulated 7, 19 and 5 proteins, respectively. Additionally, EGb downregulated 2 proteins at each dose. These proteins are correlated with remodelling of the cytoskeleton; the stability, size and shape of dendritic spines; myelin sheath formation; and composition proteins of structures found in the membrane of the somatodendritic and axonal compartments. Our findings suggested that EGb modulates conditioned suppression LTM through differential protein expression profiles, which may be a target for cognitive enhancers and for the prevention or treatment of neurocognitive impairments.

Project description:For gaining additional insights into the composition of the testicular proteome of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica), we conducted 2DE-MS. Two-dimensional SDS PAGE was run on testicular lysates of three boars, with three gels per boar. Upon matching across gels, we arbitrarily selected protein spots for mass spectrometry analysis. Excised slices were vacuum dried and soaked with digestion buffer containing trypsin (0.01 μg/μl), followed by overnight incubation at 37°C in the same buffer without trypsin. Subsequently, peptides were extracted in solvents of increasing acetonitrile content, by sonication. Upon vacuum-centrifugation, peptides were reconstituted in 0.1% formic acid (FA). Following this, peptides were fractionated by reversed phase liquid chromatography (C18; buffer A: 0.1% FA dissolved in HPLC-H2O; buffer B: 0.1% FA, dissolved in CAN; flow-rate: 0.4 µL/min; gradient: 2-30% in 30 minutes). Eluted peptides were injected via an electrospray ionization interface into a Q-TOF mass spectrometer (one boar, Q TOF Ultima, Micromass/Waters, Manchester, UK) and an ion-trap mass spectrometer (two other boars, XCT ion-trap, Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany). We used ProteomeDiscoverer 2.4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, USA) for peptide and protein identification. Using Sequest HT, we searched peak lists (*.mgf) against the Sus scrofa reference proteome database (UniProt Proteome ID: UP000008227, 49,793 proteins).
