Project description:Chronic social isolation (CSIS) generates two stress-related phenotypes, resilience and susceptibility. Although brain energy metabolism is important in regulating social behaviors, the molecular mechanisms underlying CSIS resilience remain unclear. To identify protein changes and altered biochemical pathways and processes for resilience to CSIS, prefrontal cortical cytosolic proteomic profiling was performed comparing CSIS-resilient with CSIS-susceptible and control rats. Potential predictive proteins discriminating between the CSIS-resilient and CSIS-susceptible groups were identified by support vector machine-based sequential feature selection and random forest-based feature importance scores. Predominantly decreased levels of glycolytic enzymes, G protein-coupled receptor proteins, Ras subfamily of GTPase proteins, and antioxidant proteins were found in CSIS-resilient vs. CSIS-susceptible groups. Altered levels of Gapdh and proteins involved in microtubule and cytoskeletal organization, and calcium-binding proteins were identified between the two phenotypes. These dynamic changes were accompanied by increased levels of proteins involved in GABA synthesis, the proteasome system, nitrogen metabolism, and chaperone-mediated protein folding. The overall ratio of significantly up- and down-regulated cytosolic proteins suggests adaptive cellular alterations as part of the stress-coping process specific for the CSIS-resilient phenotype.

Project description:Holm oak (Quercus ilex) is the most important and representative specie of the Mediterranean forest and of the Spanish agrosilvo-pastoral ecosystem “Dehesa”. Despite its environmental and economic interest, Holm oak is still an orphan species whose biology is very little known, especially at the molecular level. In this research, we have performed a shotgun proteomic approach (nLC-MSMS, Orbitrap) to analyze the Holm oak proteome, using, as starting material, a pool generated by mixing equal amounts of homogenized tissue, including embryo, cotyledons (from mature acorns), and leaves and roots (from 6-month old plantlets grown in a greenhouse under environmental conditions). The proteome generated will be the bases of further studies on population variability, growth, development and responses to stresses in this species.

Project description:Chronic social isolation (CSIS), an animal model of depression, generates two stress-response phenotypes: CSIS-resilient and CSIS-susceptible. However, the molecular mechanism underlying resilience to CSIS remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the prefrontal cortical synaptoproteome profile between CSIS-resilient, CSIS-susceptible and control rats in order to identify predictive proteins for the resilience phenotype. Comparison of CSIS-resilient versus CSIS-susceptible rats revealed downregulated glycolysis intermediate Aldoc and upregulated Cltc, Cam2a, Syn and Fasn proteins involved in neuronal transmission, synaptic vesicle trafficking and fatty acid synthesis. Comparison of CSIS-resilient and control rats revealed downregulated mitochondrial proteins Atp5f1b and Cs, and upregulated Prkcg, Slc17a7, and Sv2a proteins involved in signal transduction and synaptic trafficking. These proteins make the animal groups linearly separable, and 100% validation accuracy is achieved by standard machine learning models. In addition, we identified the most significant proteins for discriminating CSIS-resilient vs. CSIS-susceptible or control rats by using Support Vector Machine with greedy forward search and Random Forest, resulting in four panels of discriminative proteins. Proteomics-data-driven machine learning algorithms can provide a platform for accessing predictive features and provide additional insight into the molecular mechanisms of synaptic neurotransmission involved in stress resilience.

Project description:Adverse outcome pathways (AOP) contain summarizing sequences of key events (KE) relating toxicant exposures to specific adverse outcomes (AO) observed in exposed populations. Quantitative AOPs (qAOP) provide frameworks to assess AO risks based on KE quantification and the modeling of their relationships. This work aimed to develop the quantitative component of AOP 411 <Oxidative stress leading to decreased lung function>. To examine the pertinence of the resulting qAOP-based risk assessment approach, we applied it to predict the medium-term lung function evolution after switching from combustible cigarettes (CC) to heated tobacco products (HTP). We used publicly available data for oxidative stress (in vitro), ciliary beating frequency (in vitro), mucociliary clearance (human), and lung function (human). Following the course of smoking-related lung function decline (Fletcher and Peto, 1977, PMID 871704), we assumed a non-monotonic time evolution where the risk of the AO <decreased lung function> begins to decline after quitting smoking CC or switching to HTP use. Consequently, we designed our qAOP to evaluate the relative reduction (RR) of AO risk for HTP switching compared to the two scenarios of continuing or quitting CC consumption. We developed both data- and physiology-based KE relationship (KER) models. Despite sparse data with respect to dose- and time-response relationships, we successfully connected the measured KEs through in silico KER models. We then used the resulting qAOP to evaluate the exposure effects of switching from CC smoking to HTP use along AOP 411. This approach enabled in silico prediction of the AO RR for which in vivo data were not yet available. In summary, our qAOP provides a multiscale mechanistic approach to evaluate medium-term lung function evolution for the use case of switching from CC smoking to HTP use. The presented approach demonstrates how 21st Century Toxicology principles such as in vitro testing and in silico predictions can be integrated to achieve a meaningful risk assessment approach. It also represents a starting point for integrating additional AOP into an extended AOP network that includes other mechanisms leading to decreased lung function.

Project description:Proteases and protease inhibitors have been analyzed in the non-orthodox Quercus ilex forest tree by using in silico and wet approaches. The in silico analysis showed that the species-specific transcriptome database included 2240 and 97 transcripts annotated as, respectively, proteases and protease inhibitors, with members of the different families according to the MEROPS protease database (http://www.merops.ac.uk) classification, mostly of serine- and metallo-type. Data for Q. ilex are compared with those previously published for other Quercus species, namely, Q. suber, Q. lobata, and Q. robur. A second approach was performed to assess the evolution of proteases and protease inhibitors along with seed germination in cotyledon and embryo tissues by determining changes at proteomics and activity levels, the last by mean of in vitro and in gel assays. Shotgun (LC-MSMS) analysis of acorn embryos and cotyledons of three developmental stages (NV, non-viable; T1, mature; and T3 germinated) allowed the identification of a total of 177 proteases and 12 protease inhibitors. In vitro protease activity was determined by using azocasein as substrate; the total activity was higher in cotyledons than embryos, showing the latter significant differences throughout germination. Gel protease activity assays showed common and differential bands between tissues and developmental stages. Shotgun analysis of 10 differential activity bands supported the results obtained from the whole proteome analysis, with some proteins highly represented in the same tissues and stages by both strategies. In overall, the combination of shotgun proteomics and protease activity approaches allowed the identification of tissue-specific (such as cysteine protease inhibitors), and stage-specific proteins (such as those related to storage proteins mobilization), with others being present in all the analyzed organs. Some of the proteases and protease inhibitors differentially identified between tissues and stages in this study could be used as indicators of seed quality and viability.

Project description:Trees establish a symbiotic relationship with specialized soil fungi, called ectomycorrhizae, which is essential for nutrition, growth and health of temperate forest ecosystems. Understanding the mechanisms governing the establishment and functioning of ectomycorrhiza is important because of the role of forests in sequestering CO2 and also to develop ways to optimize tree productivity and sustainability. Here, we investigated the response of an oak species to ectomycorrhiza formation using a two dimensional differential in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry proteomics approach. At the root level, changes in the abundance of 34 unique oak proteins were detected and revealed proteins involved in carbon and energy metabolism, protein processing and degradation, response to oxidative stress, lipid metabolism/transport, nitrogen and phosphorous assimilation and cell wall modification. Proteins supporting the importance of the secretory pathway functioning, in particular of the endoplasmic reticulum, during ectomycorrhiza functioning were identified. These proteins were identified as components of the endoplasmic reticulum folding/chaperoning machinery and proteins involved in the ER quality control system. This study constitutes an important contribution for the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the response of plants to ectomycorrhizal symbiosis establishment.

Project description:We investigated the transcriptional response of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa x deltoides) leaves to a variety of stress treatments (insect feeding by Malacosoma disstria larvae, mechanical wounding, and wounding plus the application of insect oral secretions) over a 24 hour time course. Experiments were conducted using clonal trees under greenhouse conditions at the University of British Columbia. We used the 15.5K poplar cDNA microarray platform previously described by Ralph et al. (Molecular Ecology 2006, 15:1275-1297). Differentially expressed genes were determined using three criteria: fold-change between treated and untreated control leaves > 1.5-fold, P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.05. This study identified > 1,000 differentially expressed genes in response to insect feeding and/or treatments that mimic insect feeding damage. A factorial hybridization design was chosen to assess gene expression among the untreated control leaves, and leaves subjected to one of three stress treatments: forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria) feeding, mechanical wounding, and mechanical wounding plus the application of forest tent caterpillar oral secretions. For each tree, the lowest five mature leaves were caged in nylon mesh bags, treated or left untreated as a control. Leaves were harvested 2, 6 or 24 hours after the initiation of each treatment and total RNA was individually isolated from each tree. For each treatment and time point, equal amounts of total RNA were combined from each of the five biological replicate trees prior to cDNA microarray analysis. For the herbivory, mechanical wounding and oral secrection treatments, total RNA from treated and untreated control leaves was compared using a balanced loop consisting of direct and indirect comparisons across treatments and time points, with dye balance, using a total of 54 hybridizations.

Project description:Intermittent hypoxia is a common stressor in estuarine and coastal habitats due to the diurnal and tidal cycles of oxygen availability. Oxygen deficiency results in energy stress by limiting aerobic ATP production, while reoxygenation may lead to oxidative injury due to the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria. Mitochondria are a key intracellular target of hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) stress due to their central role in ATP production, ROS generation and stress signaling. Marine intertidal bivalves such as the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas are adapted to frequent H/R cycles in the intertidal zone and maintain mitochondrial integrity and aerobic function despite frequent oxygen fluctuations. To gain insight into the molecular responses of mitochondria of the hypoxia-tolerant Pacific oyster to H/R stress, we studied changes in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity, proton leak and activity of the electron transport system enzymes (ETS) in gill mitochondria of C. gigas. We furthermore investigated shifts in mitochondrial proteome and phosphoproteome after 24 h of hypoxia and 1 h of post-hypoxic recovery. Oyster mitochondria maintained normal ETS and OXPHOS capacity during H/R stress, despite a slight but significant decline in cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV) activity after reoxygenation. Fifty total proteins and 36 phosphoproteins were differentially abundant in mitochondria of H/R exposed oysters compared with the controls. Rearrangements of the mitochondrial (phospho)proteome during H/R stress involved upregulation of mitochondrial ETS (most notably Complexes I and IV) and iron-binding proteins (frataxin and ferrochelatase) as well as suppression of the metabolic pathways that channel electrons to ubiquinone, possibly as a mechanism to limit ROS production due to the iron overload and reverse flow of electrons through ETS. H/R stress also led to upregulation of a mitophagic activator serine/threonine protein phosphatase PGAM5 and dephosphorylation of metalloendopeptidase OMA1 indicating stimulation of mitochondrial quality control mechanisms during reoxygenation. Changes in the overall abundance and phosphorylation levels of several key proteins involved in the mitochondrial protein homeostasis (including subunits of the mitochondrial ribosome, mitochondrial inner membrane translocase and elongation factor G) are consistent with the suppression of the protein synthesis during hypoxia, likely as an energy-saving mechanism. Overall, our study indicates that shifts in the mitochondrial (phospho-)proteome play an important role in responses of oysters to H/R stress and might complement adaptations of anaerobic metabolism and metabolic rate depression in ensuring hypoxic survival and rapid recovery in this hypoxia-tolerant intertidal species.

Project description:The translation inhibitor Linezolid is an important antibiotic of last resort against multiresistant gram-positive pathogens including MRSA. Linezolid is reported to specifically inhibit extracellular virulence factors, but the molecular cause is unknown. To elucidate the physiological response of S. aureus to Linezolid in general and the possible inhibition of virulence factors specifically we performed a holistic study. We added Linezolid to logarithmically growing S. aureus cells and analyzed the Linezolid stress response with transcriptomics, quantitative proteomics and microscopy experiments. As previously observed in studies on other translation inhibitors S. aureus is adapting its protein biosynthesis machinery to the reduced translation efficiency, for example the synthesis of ribosomal proteins is induced. But we also observed unexpected results like a general decline in the amount of extracellular and membrane proteins. In addition cell shape and size changed after Linezolid stress and cell division was diminished. Finally, the chromosome condensed after LZD stress and lost contact to the membrane. sample versus pool design (pool = mixture of equal amounts of all RNA samples analyzed), all RNA samples were isolated as biological triplicates
