Project description:Lactate produced in glycolysis has recently been discovered to modify lysine residues on eukaryotic proteins, a post-translational modification (PTM) called lysine lactylation (Kla). This modification not only participates in regulating gene expression through lactylation of histones, but also impacts the function of non-histone proteins. However, lactylation in prokaryotes has not been reported. Here, we report the identification of 1869 lysine lactylation sites in 465 proteins in the cariogenic organism Streptococcus mutans using a newly developed 4-dimensional label-free quantitative proteomic approach, representing the first Kla dataset in prokaryotes. Combining quantitative analysis, we report that the modification levels of 282 sites from 124 proteins increased by over 1.5-fold, and 80 sites from 52 proteins decreased by over 0.67-fold in the biofilm growth state. These results provide a systematic perspective of the distribution and function of Kla and improve our understanding of the role of lactate in the metabolic regulation of prokaryotes.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy improves liver function in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the therapeutic mechanism underlying MSC therapy remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic mechanism underlying MSC therapy by analyzing changes in the modification and expression of proteins 1-month post-treatment with MSCs. This prospective study included 11 patients with cirrhosis who received MSC injection in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University. The laboratory indexes before and after treatment were collected to evaluate the clinical treatment effect of MSCs, and peptide segments were extracted from liver tissue before and after treatment to revealed the protein expression and lactylation modification. Meanwhile, weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to analyze co-expression protein modules and their relationship with clinical features. The patients with liver cirrhosis showed an improvement trend after receiving MSC treatment, specifically, the liver protein synthesis function was significantly improved and coagulation function was also significantly improved. Proteomics combined with lactic acid proteomics revealed 160 Lysine lactylation (Kla) sites of 119 proteins. The downregulated lactylated proteins were associated with metabolic processes. The upregulated lactylated proteins were involved in biological processes. The protein-based co-expression module was significantly related to alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin (TBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and ALB, and 10 proteins significantly related to ALB and 10 proteins significantly related to bilirubin were screened. The changes in clinical indexes before and after treatment indicate that the clinical effects of MSC treatment are related to cell metabolism. Overall, this study is the first study to comprehensively and systematically reveal the changes of lactylated proteins and expression after treatment with MSC by the self-control of patients, and lays a foundation for understanding the functions of lactylation modification in MSC therapy.

Project description:Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a new posttranslational modification (PTM) identified in histone and nonhistone proteins of several eukaryotic cells that directly activate gene expression and DNA replication. However, very little is known about their scope and cellular distribution in apicomplexan parasites that are important to public and animal health. Toxoplasma gondii, the agent of toxoplasmosis, is one of obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite that can infect all kinds of nucleated cells of animals and humans. Using this parasite as model organism, herein, we produced the first global lysine lactylome profile through LC-MS/MS. Overall, a total of 983 Kla sites occurred on 523 lactylated proteins were identified in Toxoplasma tachyzoites, the acute toxoplasmosis-causing stage. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these lactylated proteins are evolutionarily conserved and involved in a wide variety of cellular functions such as energy metabolism, gene regulation and protein biosynthesis. Moreover, the results from subcellular localization analysis and IFA showed that the majority of lactylated T. gondii proteins localized in the nucleus, indicating a potential impact of Kla on gene regulation. Notably, an extensive batch of parasite-specific proteins unique to Apicomplexa is lactylated in T. gondii. Our findings revealed that Kla was widespread in the early branching eukaryotic cell, and that lactylated proteins, including a crowd of unique parasite proteins, were involved in a remarkably diverse array of cellular functions. These valuable data will improve our understanding of the evolution of Kla while potentially providing novel therapeutic avenues.

Project description:Fructus Rosae Roxburghii (FRR) has been considered as edible and medicinal fruit possessing antiatherosclerotic effect, but the mechanism is still unclear. Hyperlipidemia (HLP) is material basis for atherosclerosis (AS) formation. Under FRR action, TC, TG, LDL, HDL and ASI in serum were regulated to control level. Differentially expressed proteins in liver were analyzed by using TMT labeling and LC-MS/MS for better understanding the effect and molecular mechanism of FRR on diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. In total, 4460 proteins were quantified, of which 469 proteins showed dramatic changes between each group. According to molecular functions, 25 differentially co-expressed proteins were divided into five categories: substance metabolism, energy transformation and signal transduction, transcription and translation, immune defense. 15 key proteins involved lipids metabolism, which were identified as Cyp7a1, Cyp3a11, Tm7sf2, COAT2, CSAD, RBP3, Lpin1, Dhrs4, Aldh1b1, GK, Acot 4, TSC22D1, PGFS, EHs, GSTM1. Their altered expression suggested that FRR could maintain the metabolism homeostasis by regulating the metabolism of fatty acids, biosynthesis of BAs and steroids, and production of lipid peroxides (LPOs) in mice. It’s first time potential antiatherosclerotic mechanism of FRR regulating blood lipids was explored from protein level, which is of great significance to explore new drug targets for AS.

Project description:A major problem in cancer research is the lack of a tractable model for delayed metastasis. Herein we show that cancer cells suppressed by SISgel, a gel-forming normal ECM material derived from Small Intestine Submucosa, in flank xenografts show properties of suppression and re-activation that are very similar to normal delayed metastasis and suggest they can serve as a novel model for developing therapeutics to target micrometastases or suppressed cancer cells. Co-injection with SISgel suppressed the malignant phenotype of highly invasive J82 and T24 bladder cancer cells and highly metastatic JB-V cells in flank xenografts. Cells could remain viable up to 120 days without forming tumors and appeared much more highly differentiated and less atypical than tumors from cells co-injected with Matrigel. In 40% of SISgel xenografts, growth resumed in the malignant phenotype after a period of suppression or dormancy for at least 30 days and was more likely with implantation of 3 million cells or more cells. Ordinary Type I collagen did not suppress malignant growth, and tumors developed about as well with collagen as with Matrigel. A clear signal in gene expression over different cell lines was not seen, but in contrast, Reverse Phase Protein Analysis of 250 proteins across 4 cell lines identified a clear signal at the protein level involving Integrin Linked Kinase (ILK) signaling that was confirmed by an ILK inhibitor. We suggest that cancer cells suppressed on SISgel could serve as a model for dormancy and re-awakening to develop therapeutic targets for micrometastases. Earlier we demonstrated that the phenotype of bladder cancer cells was radically different in 3-dimensional organotypic culture when grown on a normal extracellular matrix preparation (SISgel) as compared to that observed on a cancer-modulated permissive extracellular matrix preparation (Matrigel). SISgel is a gel-forming material derived from acellular small intestine submucosa, whereas Matrigel is a basement membrane preparation obtained from a mouse sarcoma. On Matrigel the bladder cancer cells recapitulated the phenotype reported for the original tumor; in sharp contrast, most of the malignant properties were lost when the cells were grown on SISgel. Cell lines derived from papillomas formed a layered structure reminiscent of normal urothelium, whereas cell lines derived from higher grade tumors formed a noninvasive layer of cells. These findings suggested that growth of cancer cells on normal ECM could provide a model to investigate the phenomenon of suppression of malignancy by normal ECM in metastasis and recurrence. In this study we explored whether the phenotypic suppression seen in organotypic culture of bladder cancer cells on SISgel also is observed in vivo. Positive findings support the use of SISgel as a model for investigations of the dormant or suppressed tumor cell phenotype and of mechanisms by which the normal ECM exerts an inhibitory influence on tumorigenesis and metastasis. The findings strongly suggest that interactions of cancer cells with normal ECM play an important role in recurrence and metastasis and further suggest that targeting suppressed cells could represent a heretofore unexploited point of vulnerability in cancer therapy.

Project description:Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a relatively rare renal epithelial neoplasm resembling type 1 papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) morphologically and immunohistochemically. The accurate diagnosis of MTSCC remains a challenge. Here, by using proteomic profiling, we characterized MTSCC and PRCC to identify diagnostic biomarkers. We found that MTSCC tumor proteome was significantly enriched in B cell-mediated immunity when compared with the proteome of adjacent normal tissues of MTSCC or tumors of PRCC. Importantly, we identified MZB1, VCAN, and SOSTDC1 as diagnostic biomarkers to distinguish MTSCC from PRCC, with an AUC of 0.9839 when combined. MZB1 was inversely correlated with tumor clinical stage and may play an anti-tumor role by activating the complement system. Finally, unsupervised clustering revealed two molecular subtypes of MTSCC, displaying different morphology, expression signatures of oxidative phosphorylation, and aggravation. In summary, our analyses identified a three-protein diagnostic panel and molecular subtypes for MTSCC.

Project description:Human blood plasma is a complex which communicates with most parts of the body and reflects changes in the state of the organism, therefore identifying age-related biomarkers can help to predict and monitor age-related physiological decline and diseases, as well as to find new treatments for diseases. In this study, TMT-LC-MS/MS was utilized to screen for the differentially expressed plasma proteins in 118 healthy adults with different ages. Participants were divided into three groups: 21-30 (Young), 41-50 (Middle) and ≥60 (Old), the number of differentially expressed proteins when Young vs Middle, Middle vs Old and Young vs Old were 82, 22 and 99, respectively. These proteins were found to be involved in numerous physiological processes such as “negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation” and “blood coagulation”. Meanwhile when Young vs Middle or Old, “Complement and coagulation cascades” was confirmed the top enriched pathway by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Functional phenotyping of the proteome demonstrated that the plasma proteomic profiles of Young adults were strikingly dissimilar to the Middle or Old adults. The results of this study mapped the variation in expression of plasma proteins, and provided information about possible biomarkers/treatments for different kinds of age-related function disorders.

Project description:Ionizing irradiation kills pathogens by destroying nucleic acids while retaining the immunogenicity of pathogen proteins. However, the overall proteome of bacteria exposed to X-ray irradiation still remain unclear. This experiment was aimed to investigate the proteome changes of the laboratory Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 strain after exposure to X-ray irradiation. A total of 2963 proteins were identified in this study, of which 2599 proteins contained quantitative information. If the differential expression change threshold is 2 times, and the statistical test t-test p-value <0.05 is the significance threshold, then among the quantified proteins, the expression of 48 proteins was up-regulated and 8 protein expression was down-regulated. Based on the above data, we performed a systematic bioinformatics analysis of all identified proteins, and performed functional classification, functional enrichment, and clustering analysis based on functional enrichment for all differentially expressed proteins. Combined with the above information, it provides a reference direction for further investigation in the biological effect on P. aeruginosa PAO1 and its MV formation under X-ray irradiation.
